International Summer/ Winter Schools Organized:

India Yesterday Today Tomorrow Program conducted in association with San Diego State University.

This three-week program was an excellent opportunity for students from the United States to discover India. The program was limited to a small group of twenty students to foster in depth learning, bonding and a sharing of views and perspectives on India and the world. Students from the PSG institute were also allowed to enroll in the program. Coordinated four such summer and winter schools from 2010 to 2013. The response from the students from the US pushed me to look at other parts of the world. It was that exploration that resulted in the PSG –BAYIND Summer School. This summer school attracts students from all over Bavaria and I have been conducting it since 2013.
