Jammu University, Indian Army Collaborate to Offer Certificate Course in Bhadarwahi Language to Armed Forces

New Delhi: The University of Jammu has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Army to offer a certificate course to Army Troops in the Bhadarwahi language. The course aims to develop a better understanding between the force and the local population.

Under this collaboration, the University of Jammu and the Indian Army will offer a four-month-long certificate course in the Bhadarwahi language. Army troops will have the opportunity to learn the language with four dialects; Siraji, Padri, Pogali, and Gaddi.

Speaking on the occasion, Aarif Khateeb of Jammu University informed that "the four-month-long Jammu University Course 2022 will be conducted jointly by instructors of the Indian Army and external academicians well versed in Bhadarwahi language".

Adding to the statement, Col Rajat Parmar, the Commanding Officer of the Army's 4 Rashtriya Rifles stated that this initiative will strengthen the bond between the Indian Army and Jammu University.

The Bhadarwahi is an ancient language that is spoken in three districts of Chenab Valley including Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban. By teaching the common language of the local population, the collaboration aims to bridge the gap between the armed forces and local people.

Rector of Jammu University's Bhadarwah Campus Rahul Gupta said, "It is really a big day for the entire China Valley, especially Bhadarwah, as this four-month certificate course will promote Bhadarwahi language and in future efforts will continue to further promote other languages also".

As per the officials, the memorandum of understanding was signed between Col Rajat Parmar, the Commanding Officer of the Army's 4 Rashtriya Rifles, and Rector of Jammu University's Bhadarwah Campus Rahul Gupta.

As of now, Jammu University offers various undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the areas of Science, Arts, Management, Computer Application, Law, Education, and Commerce among others.
