The promotion of the Italian language abroad, is one of Italy\u2019s main foreign policy instruments. Knowing the Italian language is the key to knowing the Italian culture and a better understanding of the \u201cItalian lifestyle\u201d, what is often called \u201cVivere all\u2019Italiana\u201d. The promotion of Italian becomes more and more a projection of Italian soft power.<\/p>\n
In India there is a growing demand for Italian in all learning environments: from the academic world to the Italian Cultural Institutes of New Delhi and Mumbai and also in the context of the Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
The Italian Cultural Institute promotes, on the basis of the agreement on cultural cooperation between Italy and India, the teaching of the Italian language at the following Indian universities: Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi), Jadavpur University (Kolkata) and the Universities of Goa, Banaras, Bangalore, Chennai, Kerala and Shantiniketan.<\/p>\n
The Institute also organizes Italian language courses at various levels: Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced, as well as Italian culture and conversation courses.<\/p>\n
