�There are many reasons why we should learn a foreign language. Learning a language of another country helps one understand its culture.
Language becomes a peephole to look at the nation�s culture, its traditions and its history. Loads of research work, journals and documents need immediate translation into English to facilitate knowledge liquidity in the Indian market.
Building a workforce that is fluent in a foreign language is vital to assisting India�s emerging status on several international fronts,� said a student.
