Delhi University to set up Bangabandhu Chair

An MoU was signed between the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and Delhi University in Dhaka on July 12, 2021 to set up this Chair at Delhi University.

• This chair was the celebration of the commonality of the world view between Indian and Bangladesh as both countries stand for peace, tranquility, equal respect for all belief systems and democracy.

• The establishment of the Bangabandhu Chair is a fitting tribute to the great leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

• The initiative is the outcome of one of the understandings reached during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Bangladesh in March this year.

• The Chair will focus on the common heritage of the two countries and subjects like Anthropology, Buddhist Studies, Geography, History, Modern Indian languages including Bangla, Music, Fine Arts, Political Science, International relations and Sociology.
