Where the Story begins..
In December 2016, under the auspices of fostering cultural exchange and strengthening bilateral ties between India and Germany, a momentous event unfolded at the Indian embassy in Berlin. The occasion marked the inauguration of Cultural Bridge, a visionary initiative aimed at connecting the rich tapestries of Indian and German cultures through art, education, and collaboration.
At the heart of this milestone gathering stood two esteemed ambassadors: Gurjeet Singh, the Indian ambassador to Germany, and Bernd Muetzelburg, the German ambassador to India. Their presence underscored the significance of the occasion, symbolizing the shared commitment of both nations to deepen their cultural and diplomatic relations.
Amidst the ambiance of camaraderie and cultural celebration, attendees were treated to a mesmerizing performance by a German artist proficient in Bharatnatyam, a classical Indian dance form. The fusion of German artistic expression with Indian tradition served as a powerful testament to the harmonious convergence of two distinct cultures.
As the evening unfolded, discussions veered towards the importance of fostering greater connectivity between India and Germany, not only in the realm of culture but also in academia and industry. It was recognized that investing in the future generation through meaningful internships and educational exchanges would serve as a catalyst for mutual understanding and collaboration.
One of the highlights of the event was the announcement of the first significant achievement of Cultural Bridge: the facilitation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the prestigious Humboldt University of Berlin and Ramdev College of Management and Science in India. This landmark agreement paved the way for academic cooperation, research partnerships, and student exchanges between the two institutions, further solidifying the foundation of Indo-German collaboration in the academic sphere.
The signing of the MoU was met with applause and optimism, signaling a promising beginning for Cultural Bridge in its mission to bridge the gap between India and Germany. As attendees mingled and exchanged ideas, it became evident that the inauguration of Cultural Bridge was not merely a ceremonial event but a tangible step towards forging enduring bonds of friendship and cooperation between two nations, united in their pursuit of cultural enrichment and mutual prosperity.
