Department of Hindi

The Department of Hindi of St Joseph’s University, Bengaluru, is one of the oldest and leading Departments in South India. It was started in the year 1951. At present, the Department offers Hindi as a second language paper for BA, BSc, BCom, BBA & BCA students. Keeping in view, the present challenges, both at the national and global levels the Undergraduate programme is designed to give a more inclusive and expansive approach to Hindi literature and functional aspects of the Hindi language.

The strength of the Hindi students had increased by leaps and bounds. The present strength of the students is 1200. The department is looking to provide a syllabus that is relevant and job oriented while at the same time making the students feel at ease. Also, the department has organised state-level, national-level seminars, webinars, and workshops to promote the Hindi language among the students.

Message from DEAN

Dear reader,

Greetings from the School of Languages and Literatures!

We believe that academic experiences can be joyful. 

Reading and writing are the means by which we begin asking ourselves who we are. They are also the means by which we begin to know the many worlds around us. The joy of learning moves us in these moments of discovery. 

The philosopher William James spoke of the experience of metanoia, a heartfelt understanding, a transformation from within. Every language class carries within it the potential to transform you for life, and that is why we take languages seriously at SJU.

St Joseph’s thus offers each of you an abundant joy in learning. 

Seize this opportunity!

Warm regards,

Dr Arul Mani

Dean, School of Languages & Literatures
