Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 The University of Houston will be starting a new program on India Studies at their Central Campus in the college of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences under the leadership of Prof. Dr. John Antel. This program which is spearheaded by the Foundation for India Studies (FIS) will be crucial to the future Indian generations in Houston. In the first phase, two courses will be offered this fall. In the second phase, a full fledged Department of India Studies will offer courses in other India related subjects. In the third and final phase, an Endowed Chair will be established to lead research on India in various fields. This is a community driven, University executed project which is estimated to cost about $3 Million. The Department of International Studies at the university is organizing a reception for the community at the University Center to formally announce the program. The reception will be held at 8.00PM on Friday, 21st April at the University Center. It is open to all members of the Indian community. Please come and support this legacy project.
