Nalanda University adds 4 new PG courses, V-C says reinforcing its role as centre of high learning
The new courses are in consonance with the blended vision of ancient and new Nalanda universities to focus on mathematics and philosophy.
The previous PG courses included historical studies, ecology and environment studies, Buddhist studies, comparative religions, Hindu studies (Sanatana Dharma), world literature, archaeology, international relations and peace studies, and MBA in sustainable development and management.
Nalanda University Vice-Chancellor Sachin Chaturvedi has announced four new postgraduate courses in economics, hindi, mathematics and philosophy, taking the total PG programmes to 12.
Chaturvedi, who is also the Director General of Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), joined as the university’s V-C last month.
He said, “Expansion of courses are meant to expand academic scope and reinforce NU’s role as a premier centre of research and high learning.”
The new courses are in consonance with the blended vision of ancient and new Nalanda universities to focus on mathematics and philosophy.
Meanwhile, Hindi has been added as part of the Central government’s thrust to promote mother tongue, and economics is added as per the V-C’s vision.
