New Delhi: The American Centre here on Jun 14 donated some of its best collection of American literature and history to the Jamia Milia University, terming it a small gesture of the "deeper ties" between the two.
Michael P. Pelletier, minister-counsellor for public affairs at the American Centre, said, "This is a small part of our deep ties with Jamia. These books are on literature as well as political write ups."
The 200 books that were donated will be included in the section of American writings in the new building of the Dr. Zakir Husain Library of the varsity.
