The Alliance Française of Hyderabad
The Alliance Française of Hyderabad or the Indo-French Cultural Centre of Hyderabad was established in 1980 by the Francophile population of the twin-cities with the aim to reinforce ties between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and France.
Since the nineties, with the support of the Government of France, the Alliance Française of Hyderabad has evolved not only as a premier French training institute but also as the most active cultural exchange centers in the twin-cities. Till date, Alliance Française has taught more than 30,000 students and has organized numerous cultural events. Today the Alliance Française of Hyderabad teaches French at various levels to more than 2,000 students every year and organizes about 100 cultural events annually.
These events comprise music concerts, film screenings, dance recitals, round table conferences that are held all over the twin cities. It also co-organises symposiums and talks with other academic institutions from time to time.
The Alliance Française is a registered society and is consequently headed by a local committee elected by its members.
