Foreword From The Dean

The Faculty of Languages and Literature at Somaiya Vidyavihar University underscores the vital role of the humanities and languages in shaping holistic, inclusive, and future-ready education. Guided by the vision of Somaiya Vidyavihar University and National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which place strong emphasis on multilingualism, cultural rootedness, and interdisciplinary learning, the faculty is dedicated to fostering critical thinking, empathy, creativity, and a deep sense of global citizenship. By promoting the study of languages and literature, we aim to cultivate thoughtful, culturally aware individuals who can meaningfully engage with the complexities of today’s interconnected world.

I firmly believe that the study of languages and literature plays a pivotal role in shaping well-rounded individuals. In a world increasingly driven by science and technology, languages and Literature nurture ethical reasoning, cultural sensitivity, empathy, and critical thinking. We are committed to preparing graduates who are not only intellectually and professionally competent but also socially responsible, morally grounded, and deeply attuned to the complexities of human experience.

With dynamic curricula that bridge classical and contemporary literary studies, the Faculty of Languages and Literature equips students with the expertise and sensibilities to navigate today’s complex, interconnected world. We take great pride in advancing the vision of NEP 2020 and preparing our learners to become confident communicators, thoughtful leaders, and compassionate global citizens.
