Located in the holy city of Kurukshetra, land of the historical battle of 'Mahabharata' and the great message of Bhagwad Gita, its campus is situated on the western bank of Brahm Sarover (the holy tank) and extends over an area of over 400 acres. Starting with only the Department of Sanskrit, it has grown into a multi-faculty University as one of the premier centres for advanced study and research in the region.

ABOUT THE SEMINAR:
China and India are fastest growing economies in the contemporary world. The basic objective of the seminar is to understand and assess the role of China and India in Global Economy. It has been established through contemporary research that the impetus for the growth of Global Economy has to come from fastest emerging economies of China and India. China has been able to maintain double digit growth rate for about two decades after the introduction of economic reforms in 1978. Similarly, in India the growth rate has been on average more than eight percent after the introduction of economic reforms in 1991. There is also a wide spread debate among the academicians/researchers/policy makers throughout the world regarding the supremacy of India or China in the world economy in future. While focusing on the comparative performance of the various sectors of the two economies, our focus is not only to encourage and highlight the competitiveness but also to highlight and explore cooperation among the two fastest growing economies of Asia in solving the contemporary global economic problems/issues.
