New Delhi: The Indira
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has introduced programmes
in Urdu and Arabic languages, an official said Monday.
The university is offering Bachelor of Arts programme in Urdu and
a certificate programme in the Arabic language.
"We have focused on these languages for their association with
age-old heritage of the country. The eligible students should
either have Urdu as their mother-tongue or be proficient in
Hindi," an official said.
The Urdu programme is essentially meant for those who can speak
Hindi and Urdu but do not know how to read, write and correctly
pronounce the words whereas the programme in Arabic aims at a
gradual and systematic coaching to read, write and speak the
language, added the official.
"The programmes will help the students in developing and improving
script writing and pronunciation skills. The student develops the
competence in the areas and also the ability to extract the
socio-cultural information with the texts," the official further
said.
The minimum duration to complete the programmes is one year and
the maximum is three years.
