Dear Mr Nath

Thank you for your call. We appreciate your interest in The School.

The School, inaugurated by the Consul General of China, is a non-

profit endeavour; it provides a platform towards breaking of barriers
with the power of Language and Understanding. Insofar as the
relationship between the peoples of China and India are concerned, we
are of the firm belief that there is a gap in the understanding of each
other, and each other's cultures; we are also convinced that the 21st
century belongs to the two great nations.

Additionally, The School provides the opportunity to interested

Students to avail of quality yet affordable higher education in leading
Universities in China, in various fields. Scholarships are available from
time to time to deserving & qualified Students.

In the words of His Excellency, Mr Mao Siwei:

"I believe that the world has enough space for China and India, the
two largest developing countries, to develop together.. I believe that
an increasing number of young Indians will learn the Chinese
language...The School, formed to promote understanding and learning
has our blessings...."

Ergo, The School...

not impossible to learn but not easy coz it is a different language. The
School provides you the opportunity to "dip your toes in the water" to
judge whether you are comfortable learning this language. Thereafter,
