Kolkata, Mar 25: West Bengal Governor Viren J Shah launched the Bangla on-line course designed jointly by Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU) and Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL).
Inaugurating the course on Wednesday, he said through this course a large number of Bengali-speaking students across the country and abroad would be benefitted.
He urged the CIIL and the NSOU to design more such courses on different languages of the country in order to popularise Indian languages worldwide.
''I appreciate the efforts of NSOU and the CIIL in regard to the Bangla on-line course and urge the authorities to design more such courses on other languages of our country,'' he observed.
He said, ''It is only language to which human being is attached most and hence any effort for expansion and popularisation of languages should be hailed.''
