About English & Foreign Languages University
The English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU), Hyderabad, began in 1958 as the Central Institute of English (CIE), envisioned by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to provide high-quality English teacher training in India. Its core mandate is to advance and disseminate instructional, research, and extension facilities in English and foreign languages, along with fostering interdisciplinary studies and intercultural understanding. CIE earned national recognition through teacher training programmes, conferences, refresher courses, and textbook development. It also introduced radio lessons to support English learning. In 1972, the Institute expanded its academic scope by adding German, Russian, and French, leading to its renaming as the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages (CIEFL).
