The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) will soon start its Korean language and cultural programme.

The certificate programme will be integrated in nature. The study material along with audio/visual learning content will be provided to all learners. The programme will be available in all regions through the respective regional centres. Anyone above 18 years of age with 10+2 will be eligible to take admission in this programme," programme coordinator Shivaji Bhaskar said in a statement.

"The relation between India and the Republic of Korea is unique in nature. The relations which are more than two millennia old, provide an opportunity to both the countries to reach new heights in social, economic and political spheres," he said.

Thousands of people are working with Korean giants like Samsung and Hyundai in India, thus the demand of this programme would be huge here, Bhaskar said.

Expertise for the programme will be provided by the Korean embassy, he added.
