Dear Friends of "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities",
The year of Germany in India kicked off in September 2011 and concluded in February 2013. This website provides an overview of the project. Please enjoy browsing through some glorious and unforgettable moments.
We thank all contributors and participants for making the endeavour such a great success. Over 1,000 events were organised throughout India across the fields of Politics, Business, Science & Education and Culture. The project's centerpiece, the "Indo-German Urban Mela", attracted over half a million visitors with its unique, gemstone-like pavilions.
The year of Germany in India was only the beginning, and we are looking forward to further explore "Infinite Opportunities" together.
