Dean's Message


Dear all,

Language as the essence of culture fosters collective understanding and intercultural communication.In the Indian context the domain of language is so powerful as vedic literature crystallises the basic concept of language thought interconnection. Understandably Sanskrit language as the mother language of entire Indo-European languages establishes the richness of Bhartiya Gyan Parampara. Panini the first grammarian who founded the science of linguistics centuries before Christ establishes the scientific and practical aspects of Sanskrit language. Further the power of vedic language was beautifully illustrated by Frawley when he said “mantra is the original form of all language, the original language, from which all others derive”. Taking a cue from The communion between the phenomenal and Trancendental world that is between the individual consciousness and the cosmic consciousness, the School of languages is committed towards creating a dynamic environment for teaching, learning and research in English, Hindi and other Indian languages. Language acts as a bridge between people, communities, and cultures. Nestled at the foothills of the Pir Panjal, the School of Languages at Central University of Jammu is dedicated towards creating a dynamic teaching and learning environment for English, Hindi, and other Indian languages. It facilitates unique opportunities to explore the vivid spectrum of literary and linguistic diversity. It celebrates the rich cultural and scholarly heritage of Indian and foreign literatures through innovative perspectives, explorations and investigations. To this extent, the School strives towards the cultivation of a comprehensive student-centric curriculum, proficient teaching methods, and scholarly research endeavours of the highest order. In the times to come, the School aspires to expand its horizons towards various other foreign and Indian languages and their literature. With our learned faculty members and passionate staff, the School of Languages aims to create an environment fostering innovative scholarship with a joyful appreciation for languages.
