EUROPEAN UNION (EU) has reportedly given 270, 000 Euros to University of Warsaw (Poland) to establish a Contemporary India Studies Centre.

Said to be the first research center of its kind in central Europe, this project reportedly will cover studies of India’s cultural, social, political, and economic issues. Its faculty will include scholars from Europe and India and it will promote cooperation between Europe and India, reports suggest.

Welcoming this gesture, Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA), urged EU to also fund research in Sanskrit and Indian religions in various countries of Europe.

Cultural mission of the University of Warsaw (Uniwersytet Warszawski) in Warszawa, formed in 1816, is a synthesis of universal and local values. Rector is Professor Katarzyna Cha?asi?ska-Macukow.
