In 1974 the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, Ministry of External Affairs , Govt of India invited me to be the first occupant of the Indian Chair introduced at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria under the IndoBulgarian Exchange Program and initiate Hindi teaching at the university with a three year Hindi language course in the Department of Eastern Languages. I found teaching at the Department most challenging and rewarding. I learnt Bulgarian language with a good proficiency to communicate and teach Hindi through Bulgarian. Here I came into close contact with Professor Georgi Lozanov , Founder and promoter of Suggestopedic system of pedagogy in language comprehension . I had a good training with him and was invited by him to prepare Hindi language teaching material for the institute. During my tenure I prepared and published three books on Hindi Language Teaching for Bulgarian students which were published by University of Sofia Press and Govt. Publishing House Nauka I Iskustvo, Sofia, Bulgaria, The books written and published were
- Uchebnik Po Hindi (Text Book of Hindi)1976
- Fonetika Na Hindi (Hindi Phonetics ) 1978
- Bulgarsko Hindi Rechnik (Bulgarian Hindi Dictionary ) 1987 .
