  2. Der aayad durust aayad… we should have taken this step almost 10 years before… anyhow, it is good move and we must appreciate. In order to canalize the benefits of cross boarder interaction and trade it is very important. Not only it will help our youngsters to communicate with the Chinese traders or tourist better, but will also give them a new paradigm of knowledge and learning. In today’s knowledge society China is producing a wealth of scientific scholarship. In order to tape the benefits of their research we need to diversify our language learning capability.

  3. A right step in the right direction. A courageous and bold initiative, should become a sustainable project and run on a mrore professional basis.

    The sponsors deserves our thanks. God speed!
