  • Vision

“Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word; but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language--not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

With this Vision of opening new avenues academically and personally, development of modern languages is an important aspect. This department aspires students to fly with wings of confidence by acquiring in-depth knowledge of language. Studying languages open up a sphere of the possibilities in today’s globalized world. As students become familiar with a particular language, they develop an understanding of nature of language in general. Students at KKSU being aware of Sanskrit Language, which is believed to be the most scientific language for programming, acquires an ability to comprehend in much higher perspective.
