Delhi University to launch Centre for Hindu Studies
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The University of Delhi is all set to introduce the Centre for Hindu Studies (CHS) from the 2023-24 academic session. The centre will focus on various facets of the Hindu civilisation, its multiple dynamics, history, philosophy and worldview. This year, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced Hindu Studies as a discipline in the UGC National Eligibility Test (NET).
Reports suggest that under the new centre, DU will initially introduce a postgraduate (PG) programme in Hindu Studies for the 2023-24 academic session. This course aims to involve all the stakeholders, including the enrolled students of the programme, to think critically and evolve a Bharat-centric perspective beyond theoretical explanation. The official also pointed out that the new course will ensure the diversification of knowledge system in line with the National Education Policy 2020. Doctoral, certificate courses, diplomas and other programmes in Hindu Studies will be launched later depending upon the operational feasibility of the centre.
DU is also planning to launch PG programmes with Hindu Studies as the minor course alongside the major courses of computer science, data analytics, artificial intelligence, graphic design and animation, management and commerce, according to the official. The CHS will be part of the Faculty of Arts, which will facilitate the curriculum design, implementation of the academic programmes and the enrolment of the students for the centre. The University is going to establish a Centre for Hindu Studies under the Faculty of Arts of the University which will offer a Master's Programme in Hindu Studies, according to media reports.
