The Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) and the University of Valladolid agreed to cooperate in the establishment and functioning of the Chair of Hindi and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on September 2018.

Every year, a visiting professor from the Republic of India will stay at the University of Valladolid for one academic year and teach Hindi language and culture. The purpose of the Chair is to design and implement activities connected to the learning of Hindi language and culture at the University of Valladolid. It also aims to strengthening ICCR-UVa relationship through an institutional agreement between the two institutions and countries.

The Chair would deliver lectures and seminars on various aspects related to the promotion of Hindi language and culture. The Chair would also identify areas in collaboration with the various Departments interested in Hindi.
