Mumbai, 13 January 2012

U.S. Consulate General Mumbai today announced that the American Corner in Ahmedabad now has Gujarati titles in its book collection.

The collection features more than 20 Gujarati translations of American books and offers readers insights into American culture and values. Prominent among the collection are Gujarati versions of poems India, India (Natwar Gandhi) and Videshini (Panna Naik).

U.S. Consulate General’s Public Affairs Officer Anne E. Grimes said “the beginning of a new year is generally marked with new commitments. This initiative reflects our commitment to the growing bilateral, cultural and people-to-people ties between the United States and India. I hope our Gujarati-speaking audiences in Gujarat will enjoy this collection at the American Corner.”

It is worth noting here that Gujarati was the only Indian regional language (Hindi and Urdu are national languages) to feature in the 2010 U.S. census report.

Inaugurated in 2004, the American Corner is a partnership between the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Consulate in Mumbai and the Ahmedabad Management Association. It offers a window to the U.S. for the residents of Ahmedabad by providing accurate and up-to-date information on the United States.
