The Department of International Studies , Political Science and History organized a presentation by the students of Norway and Netherlands who were pursuing their internship at CHRIST (Deemed To Be University). In their presentation, they talked about their countries' history, geography, politics, economy, cuisine, society, religion, art, and culture. There were two presentations by Norwegian students and one presentation by the students of the Netherlands. All the presentations were very intriguing.

We discovered that Norway has a constitutional monarchy, a unitarian, and a parliamentary form of government. The Netherlands also has the same government structure but with a decentralized unitarian form of government and is a consociational state. They also pointed out their popular cuisines, for example, Lefse, Kumla, and Lutefisk were among the popular dishes of Norway and Hollandse Nieuwe, Stroopwafel, and Kroket were the popular dishes of the Netherlands. It was also fascinating to know the history of both countries. The Vikings who captured many parts of Europe originated in Norway during 800 CE. Norway entered into a union with Denmark and Sweden in 1397. After Sweden left the union in 1523, Norway became the junior partner in Denmark–Norway. In 1814, after being on the losing side of the Napoleonic Wars with Denmark, Norway was ceded to the King of Sweden. Norway declared its independence in the same year. Both Norway and the Netherlands remained neutral in both the world wars but were attacked by Nazi Germany during the second world war. By the 21st century, Norway became one of the world's most prosperous countries with oil and gas production accounting for 20 percent of its economy. In the Netherlands, during the Middle Ages, the descendants of Carolingian dynasty came to dominate the region and then extended their rule to a large part of Western Europe. After the collapse of Napoleon in 1813–15, an expanded "United Kingdom of the Netherlands" was created, which became independent as a sovereign state of Netherlands in 1839. The Netherlands has a market economy, but the state traditionally has been a significant participant in such fields as transportation, resource extraction, and heavy industry.

It was motivating to note that the level of education in both countries was very standardized, focusing on equal, compulsory, and free education for all till higher secondary. Education, healthcare, security, and harmony are given the topmost priority in both states. They also shared fun facts about their country, which were very interesting. They told that the Dutch are tallest in the world. The Netherlands is the first country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001. Norway has the world's longest road tunnel, and Norway outfoxes other states in Winter Olympics.
An engaging Q&A session followed the lecture. The students were presented with a token of appreciation, followed by a vote of thanks.
