In his very compelling speech, Dr. Hans von Lengerke spoke about the significant role Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) played in lending him the valuable perspective of India that he so closely holds in his heart and mind today and which has helped him in playing his part in strengthening of the Indo-German friendship. He stated that an organization like ICCR provides scholarships and fellowships to thousands of students every year besides fostering and strengthening cultural relations and mutual understanding between India and other countries, promoting cultural exchanges with other countries and people and developing relations with nations.14591860_1188080294598909_232531040069849106_n
