Building on this achievement, Anant is taking a significant step forward by offering ADEPT in 10 languages this year. This expansion reflects Anant's vision to foster a diverse and inclusive learning environment where students can pursue their passions and contribute meaningfully to society through design. Dr Anunaya Chaubey, Provost, Anant National University, emphasised, "Our mission is to create an inclusive academic environment where talent thrives beyond linguistic boundaries. By expanding ADEPT to 10 languages, we are empowering aspiring designers from varied backgrounds, enabling them to bring their unique perspectives and ideas to the forefront of design innovation."
