German Language Course: Learning a foreign language made easy! German and Spanish courses to start at these colleges..
The importance of foreign languages is steadily growing in the changing global landscape. Considering the prospects for higher education, better employment, careers in international companies, and study-abroad opportunities, students in Bikaner will now have the chance to receive foreign language training right in their own city. Under the 2025-26 budget announcement, study centers for German have been established at Dungar College and for Spanish at Maharani Sudarshana College. Four-month online certificate courses in both languages are set to commence by the end of June.
The establishment of foreign language study centers and the introduction of professional courses like MBA and MCA will further strengthen Dungar College's standing among the state's leading government colleges. Additionally, thousands of students from Bikaner and neighboring districts will gain access to modern, job-oriented, and international-standard education without having to relocate to major metropolitan cities. This initiative will not only give a new direction to the students' futures but also establish Bikaner as an emerging hub for higher education.
**Preparations at the colleges nearing completion**
During a review meeting held by the Higher Education Department, Prof. Brajratna Joshi, Principal of Dungar College, stated that all necessary preparations for the foreign language training program at both colleges are nearly complete. The courses will be conducted online, allowing students to easily study these languages alongside their regular academic curriculum. He noted that the course fee has been set at ₹1,000 for students currently enrolled in government colleges, while it is ₹2,000 for non-enrolled students. Each study center will offer between 30 and 70 seats.
**A significant achievement for the future**
Experts believe that proficiency in German and Spanish plays a crucial role in opening up new career avenues in today's world. A strong command of these languages is highly valued for higher education, research, technical training, and employment opportunities in many European countries, including Germany and Spain. Furthermore, there is a steadily growing demand for young people proficient in foreign languages across sectors such as IT, automobiles, tourism, hotel management, translation, and interpretation services, as well as within multinational companies. In this context, the local availability of these facilities is considered a significant milestone for the future of students in Bikaner.
**Process of Launching MBA and MCA Courses**
Prof. Brajratna Joshi stated that other significant steps are also being taken towards academic expansion at Dungar College. The process of introducing MBA and MCA courses at the college has reached its final stage. Once the necessary approval is received from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the conduct of these two professional courses will commence next month. This will provide students with the option of pursuing quality higher education in management and computer studies right here in Bikaner.
**Enhanced Participation in Global Competition**
Education experts note that, in alignment with the New Education Policy, skill-based and employment-oriented courses are being promoted in higher education institutions. The introduction of foreign language training and professional courses represents a significant initiative in this direction. This will enhance students' participation in the global competitive landscape, enabling them to secure better opportunities not only at the national level but also internationally.
