Uttarakhand shares great geographical similarities with Austria and to<br />

some extent also with Germany. This raises hope that not only the<br />

Department, but the entire state can have several types of partnership<br />

with Austria and Germany.<br />

Our regional identity of being the water reserve of northern India, of<br />

being a holy land, Yoga Hub, Hill state etc. is our strength. This very<br />

identity can bring us a lot of investment, visitors, collaborators and<br />

partnerships.<br />

The only department of German Language in the State of Uttarakhand<br />

and even the Northern Himalayan region that offers graduate and post<br />

graduate program.<br />

Many factories and Company offices are being opened in the capital<br />

city of Uttarakhand and other places.<br />

The Department offers a competitive course curriculum that focuses on<br />

students needs. The students are exposed regularly to experts in the<br />

field of German Studies.<br />
