GUEST LECTURE BY NORWEGIAN STUDENTS


VENUE: Central Block, Room No. 612

DATE: 12-02-2019

TIME: 9 AM.-10 AM

Department of International Studies and History, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), organised a Guest Lecture by the students from Norway, currently pursuing their internship at CHRIST, with a focus on the Norwegian culture, history, politics and soft power.

The talk-cum-interaction essentially focused on tracing the history of Norway from the era of the Vikings to the politics of today, which is a unitary constitutional monarchy. They shed light on the aspect of the Norwegian culture and lifestyle. A country with a small population and key benefits provided to the citizens, they talked on the lines of the governmental facilities extended to the people in Norway. They then, charted the synergy between Norway and India and how the collaborative efforts from both the countries show the subtle functioning of soft power and Norway’s integrated relationship with other countries as well via the UN, EU and NATO.

The talk was followed by an interactive Q&A session. The students of 2-MAIS then, gave tokens of appreciation to the guest students.

Internship Experience - ICWA

Indian Council of World Affairs is an organization where research is given most priority. As an extension of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the officials of the organization are senior bureaucrats and retired ambassadors. Here, the importance is given to creative research where a researcher is given the utmost freedom to pursue the topic and area for undertaking research that interests them. When I joined as an intern, I was welcomed with friendly smiles and warmth. I met the Deputy Director General (DDG), Shri. Ajaneesh Kumar (IFS), who is the reporting person.
