Meeting with Vice President

The Friday afternoon was memorable as me with another twenty five students of centre and prof Kumaraswamy met the Vice President of India, Shri Hamid Ansari. It was a nice interaction and the meeting was indeed a learning experience. I throughly enjoyed every moment of it. We had individual interaction with him, and he highlighted the need for empirical research in Area studies as well as the importance of knowing the language of the country or region one is working on. At the end we had snacks and tea.
