International Day of Yoga

International Day of Yoga

 

As per guideline from the Ministry of HRD, the department of Higher Education, Higher Institutions should celebrate International Day of Yoga each year in June. 21st June is marked as IDY by Govt. of India. JNU Yoga Kendra has been celebrating IDY since 2015. The Yoga Kendra has always been spreading this ancient yogic science to the JNU community and outside of the JNU also by conducting Yoga practice sessions on the occasion of International Day of Yoga.
 
However, this year is significantly different from the previous years due to ongoing coronavirus outbreak. In the light of its rapid global spreading, on March 11, 2021, the World Health Organization has declared it a pandemic and strongly suggested to maintain social distancing in order to slow down the spread of the virus. Accordingly, the theme of this year International Day of Yoga is ‘GharGhar me Yog’, which signifies the importance of staying at home and practice Yoga with family while observing social distancing. Staying at home would keep you away from contagious Coronavirus and Yoga would help keep you and your family in good health.
 
In accordance with the above guidelines circulated by the Ayush Ministry, Government of India, JNU has decided to celebrate IDY2020 through webinar and online live workshops. Furthermore, the Vice-Chancellor of the University will also launch FIT-JNU: a wholesome wellness program for JNU and All on 21st June, 2021.

A warm welcome to the modified and updated website of the Centre for East Asian Studies. The East Asian region has been at the forefront of several path-breaking changes since 1970s beginning with the redefining the development architecture with its State-led development model besides emerging as a major region in the global politics and a key hub of the sophisticated technologies. The Centre is one of the thirteen Centres of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi that provides a holistic understanding of the region.

Initially, established as a Centre for Chinese and Japanese Studies, it subsequently grew to include Korean Studies as well. At present there are eight faculty members in the Centre. Several distinguished faculty who have now retired include the late Prof. Gargi Dutt, Prof. P.A.N. Murthy, Prof. G.P. Deshpande, Dr. Nranarayan Das, Prof. R.R. Krishnan and Prof. K.V. Kesavan. Besides, Dr. Madhu Bhalla served at the Centre in Chinese Studies Programme during 1994-2006. In addition, Ms. Kamlesh Jain and Dr. M. M. Kunju served the Centre as the Documentation Officers in Chinese and Japanese Studies respectively.

The academic curriculum covers both modern and contemporary facets of East Asia as each scholar specializes in an area of his/her interest in the region. The integrated course involves two semesters of classes at the M. Phil programme and a dissertation for the M. Phil and a thesis for Ph. D programme respectively. The central objective is to impart an interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of history, foreign policy, government and politics, society and culture and political economy of the respective areas. Students can explore new and emerging themes such as East Asian regionalism, the evolving East Asian Community, the rise of China, resurgence of Japan and the prospects for reunification of the Korean peninsula. Additionally, the Centre lays great emphasis on the building of language skills.

Besides, students from Japan receive fellowship from the Indian Council of Cultural Relations.
