On Friday 21 February 2025, Silpakorn University held a signing ceremony for the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR). The MoU was signed by Professor Dr. Tanasait Ngawhirunpat, President of Silpakorn University, and H.E. Mr. Nagesh Singh, Ambassador of India to Thailand, representing ICCR. The ceremony took place at the Narisaranuwattiwong Room, 4th floor, Office of the President, Taling Chan.
This MoU aims to promote academic exchange, particularly in Sanskrit studies, through the appointment of visiting professors from the Republic of India. These professors will teach Sanskrit, provide academic guidance, and serve as thesis advisors for students and faculty members.
The Sanskrit Center, Faculty of Archaeology, Silpakorn University, has been collaborating with ICCR since 1990. This signing marks the renewal of the MoU for another two years, ensuring the continued deployment of experts in Sanskrit studies and related fields to support teaching, research, and knowledge enhancement on Indian civilization at the university. The renewal of this collaboration reflects the strong relationship between Silpakorn University and ICCR, as well as their commitment to advancing Sanskrit studies and related disciplines at an international level.
