The “English Language Cell” was started by the Department of English in 1973 to offer remedial courses in English for postgraduate students from non-English medium backgrounds. From 1979 to 1994, the Cell also conducted eight-week intensive English language courses for agricultural scientists and workers deputed by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad.
