Delhi University forms 17-member panel for 'Hindu Studies' centre in varsity

Delhi University has formed a 17-member committee to establish a centre for “Hindu Studies” to introduce courses about the “history of Hindus" in the varsity, an official said.

The panel will be headed by DU Director of South Delhi Campus Prakash Singh.

Singh said a need was felt in the university for a Hindu studies centre.

“There are around 23 universities across India that offer courses in Hindu studies. DU also thought it must also have a centre for Hindu studies," he told PTI.

"We have a centre for Buddhist studies but not a centre for Hindu studies. We thought let’s see whether it is viable to open a centre for Hindu studies," Singh added.

He emphasised that the panel would focus on first checking the viability of the centre and then introduce courses accordingly.

“First we will introduce courses in postgraduate and research and later we might introduce UG courses," Singh added.

The committee will decide how many courses will be introduced and whether courses will be introduced this year or next. The panel also plans to present the framework before the academic council in the near future, he further said.
