The ABVP, founded in 1948 with the initiative of the RSS activist Balraj Madhok, was formally registered on 9 July 1949. Its primary purpose was to counter communist influences on university campuses. … Various branches of the ABVP have been involved in Hindu-Muslim communal riots since 1961.
NEW DELHI: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarti Parishad (ABVP) is going to start ‘online language learning classes’ from Saturday. According to reports students from JNU are also going to take part in it. The online initiative known as ‘Bhasha Sangam’ was launched on June 26 under which students can learn any Indian and foreign languages.
The members of ABVP JNU said that these courses will be beneficial to those students who are interested in learning the basics of a language. These introductory courses will also be beneficial to those students who are looking for international fellowships to study abroad. ‘Google Classroom’ will be used to conduct these classes.
Chaurasia said that the ‘Bhasha Sangam’ program has received appreciation and more than a thousand registrations from India and abroad. Lectures on the basics of various languages will be given by around 50 language experts, research scholars, and teachers. It is notable that students, common citizens, and professionals have registered for learning.
The members of ABVP, who are also students of JNU, said these free introductory courses would immensely benefit those students who are interested in learning the basics of a new language or are looking for international fellowships to study abroad. The classes will be conducted through ‘Google Classroom’.
“For a student, learning to speak a new language is also an opportunity to understand the basics of culture and diversity associated with it. This would also help us to promote our Indian language globally. Through ‘Bhasha Sangam’, ABVP JNU is enabling a possibility to upgrade the communication skills of students during the lockdown,” said Govind Dangi, Secy ABVP-JNU.
