The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) will set up a ‘Bangabandhu Chair’ at Delhi University.
- The Chair will focus on better understanding of developments in Bangladesh which is one of India’s most important neighbours as it is positioned at the strategic intersection of India’s Neighbourhood First and Act East policies.
- The initiative is the outcome of one of the understandings reached during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Bangladesh in March 2021 during the Golden jubilee celebration of the liberation of Bangladesh and the birth centenary celebration of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
