Aizawl, December 2, 2025: Pachhunga University College (PUC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MGH Korea to launch a Korean language course at the college, with classes scheduled to begin on January 27, 2026. The agreement was formalised today at the Principal’s Conference Hall in the presence of PUC Principal Prof. H. Lalthanzara and MGH Korea representative Kim Jungae.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Prof. Lalthanzara highlighted the significance of international exposure in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. “NEP 2020 calls for educational institutions to prepare students for global environments. Offering Korean language studies is an important step toward that direction,” he said. He added that PUC aims to continue fostering collaborations with various institutions abroad, expecting fruitful academic engagement with Korea as well.
Under the agreement, MGH Korea will provide qualified instructors to teach the course at PUC. The programme will begin at the beginner level, spanning three months, with a course fee of ₹10,000. Prof. Lalthanzara noted that similar courses elsewhere often cost around ₹15,000, highlighting that PUC students will benefit from a reduced, more affordable fee structure.
The college will soon finalise classroom arrangements and open admissions for interested students. Facilities, academic requirements, and other logistical needs have already been taken into consideration.
MGH Korea, which facilitates Korean language learning across Canada, India, and Myanmar, operates with authorisation from the Korean government. Its lead, Dr. Sangjoon Lee, an industrial engineering professor at Hanyang University, has extensive experience in quality control with global companies such as Samsung and LG.
This new partnership follows PUC’s recent initiative on October 28, 2025, when the college signed an MoU with JACEEX LL Ltd., Guwahati to introduce Japanese language studies. With the addition of Korean, PUC continues to broaden international language learning opportunities for students in Mizoram.
