Dibrugarh University launches Korean language Wall Magazine
The event was jointly inaugurated by university vice-chancellor Jiten Hazarika and Lee Ki Seuk, a distinguished guest from South Korea.
The Korean Language Wall Magazine will serve as a creative platform for students to showcase articles, artworks and literary pieces in Korean, promoting cultural and academic engagement. "This initiative bridges the gap between Indian and Korean cultures, encouraging students to explore new linguistic and artistic horizons," the VC said.
"It is a vibrant window into Korea's rich heritage. Such initiatives strengthen the bond between our nations and inspire young learners to embrace Korean language and traditions," Lee Ki Seuk said.
The university has been actively promoting Korean studies since February 2023, when it initially introduced a certificate course in Korean language, in collaboration with the World Fragrant Cooperation (WFC), Sejong, and the Borahi Foundation, Assam.

Illegal immigrants in US: Self-deport and get free flight, $1,000 & more
Are you in the United States without legal status and thinking of returning to India or another home country? You can leave voluntarily with a free plane ticket, a $1,000 cash bonus, and forgiveness of fines, according to the US government. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said on Tuesday that undocumented migrants can use the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Home mobile app to arrange their departure. 'If you are here illegally and you want to go home, the Department of Homeland Security now offers use of the CBP Home Mobile App so that you can voluntarily self-deport,' USCIS said in a social media post. 'Through the CBP Home Mobile App, you receive a complimentary plane ticket home, receive a $1,000 exit bonus upon your return, and will have any unpaid fines for failing to timely depart forgiven.' What the scheme offers USCIS says the CBP Home app allows people to leave 'safely and in an orderly way' without risking detention. Benefits include: 1. Free one-way ticket to the home country or another where the person has legal status. 2. $1,000 exit bonus after confirmation of departure through the app. 3. Fine forgiveness for failing to depart after a removal order. 4. Family travel allowing parents to leave with their children regardless of citizenship status. 5. Time to prepare to settle work, school, and personal matters before departure. What happens if you stay USCIS warns that remaining in the country without legal status can lead to 'serious consequences', including removal, prosecution, detention, wage garnishment, and confiscation of personal property. 'Leaving voluntarily may improve future immigration options,' the agency said. Indians among those returning India's Ministry of External Affairs said last week that 1,703 Indian nationals have 'come back or [been] deported' from the United States since January. Around 62% returned on commercial flights, spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. The announcement comes amid President Donald Trump's campaign to deport undocumented migrants. In February, more than 100 Indians were deported on a US military flight, with reports that some were restrained during transport. The US government believes around 18,000 Indian nationals entered the country illegally. Earlier this month, the US Embassy in India warned that overstaying a visa could lead to deportation or a permanent ban on re-entry. How to self-deport using the CBP Home app < Download the CBP Home Mobile App and submit personal details with a photo. < Wait for a call from the Department of Homeland Security to arrange flights. < Respond to any follow-up email containing a unique link and QR code. < Log in to a USCIS account and complete Form G-325R, Biographic Information. < Attend a biometric appointment if scheduled.

We're living in volatile era, 'atmanirbharta' mindset needed to deal with global turbulence: EAM
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said the world is facing a "volatile and uncertain era", having experienced the successive impact of the Covid pandemic, multiple conflicts and "trade upheavals", and asserted that 'atmanirbharta' (self reliance) is the mindset needed to deal with "global turbulence". In his address at a conclave here on Wednesday, Jaishankar also said that in an era of globalisation and urbanisation, "traditions are often lost with time". But, by nurturing them, "we have made Indian tourism even more attractive", he said. Pointing to the theme of the event -- 'Invincible Spirit of India' -- the minister said, "We are a civilisational state, a state, a society that has withstood the tests of time, and nurtured its culture, traditions and heritage." "Our real strengths have been our people. Our people and their self-belief. We have overcome adversities and we have addressed multiple challenges in the journey towards progress and prosperity." The event was hosted by the Federation of Associations in Indian Tourism and Hospitality. "We are definitely living in a volatile and uncertain era, having experienced the successive impact of the Covid pandemic, of multiple conflicts, many of which are still going on, and of trade upheavals," Jaishankar said without naming any comments came in the backdrop of the US slapping an additional 25 per cent tariff on all Indian imports, on top of an existing 25 per cent duty, taking the total to 50 per cent effective August minister added that nations with robust domestic demand have fared better and will obviously continue to do so."The value of stronger tourism in such a situation is hard to overstate. After all, it has so many dimensions, including infrastructure development, entrepreneurship, creativity, skills enhancement, or job generation," he there are a few activities that do more to energise the economy and multiply employment, Jaishankar his address, Jaishankar emphasised the diversity, richness and the wonderful heritage that "our civilisation has nurtured", and said today there is an "enormous effort" to present to the world what really India also said that in recent years, India has made "sustained efforts" to make "our heritage and culture more visible to the world", citing the inscription of multiple Indian heritage sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List in the past several years."We have so much to be proud of and so much to share with the world," he asserted."Our approach has long been driven by Vasudhaiva Kutumbakum and Atithi Devo Bhava. While we will always benefit with such openness, it is essential, in times of unpredictability, to stand firmly on our own feet."Atmanirbharta is, of course, the mindset to deal with global turbulence. But it is also the basis to strengthen our self-confidence, to increase our resilience, and to lay the foundation for Viksit Bharat," he his address, Jaishankar also asserted that more than diplomacy, it is actually tourism that connects any nation to the world."Your industry helps to prepare a global workforce at a time when international mobility is becoming more common... Every action in this sector helps enhance brand India," the minister said. He recalled that in 2023, during India's presidency of the G20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was very "determined" that every state of India must get a chance to showcase itself before the world. "As part of a strategy, G20 conferences were therefore held close to heritage sites or naturally beautiful landscapes, and delegates were afforded opportunities for maximum cultural immersion," he said, adding that every state rose to the occasion and put their "best foot forward". The impression the delegates took back with them "will stand us in very good stead" and it is for this reason "we say G20 connected India to the world, and equally the world to India", Jaishankar said.
