About

Where scholarship, language, and events meet.

Tarajim Centre extends support to knowledge seekers, knowledge providers, literary ideas, and intellectual interactions.

The Centre is proud to have a panel of prominent academics who celebrate ideas. Our researchers work through archives and documentation centres, and coordinate with prestigious Indian universities and institutions.

Together we help hold seminars and interactions with visiting academic, cultural and literary figures, and see that the translated word reaches the readers it was written for.

What we do

Translation, programmes, and the gatherings around them.

Translation
