The Centre for Hindu Studies in Delhi University is likely to adopt six new elective papers that will further explore different facets of Hinduism. This move has been recommended by the Governing Body of the Centre and shall mainly serve the interests of the students in knowing more about Hindu Studies and their general interests. If approved by the Academic Council, these include electives as Introduction to Vedic Literature, Upanishad Parichaya, Dharma and Religion, Bhagavad Gita for Humanity, Hindu Thinkers, and Purana Parichaya.
These courses will enable students to have a deeper understanding of Hinduism, in particular, Vedic literature, Upanishadic philosophy, Indian spiritual life, history and culture of Hinduism, and the ethos of major Hindu thinkers. The Centre hopes to diversify its programs to its best advantage in completeness and relevance to the needs of students, offering a greater variety of options for those in Hindu studies.
In addition, it offers two General Electives for students majoring in other subjects, like Commerce, Political Science, or Computer Science, so that they are introduced to Hindu Studies. Six inter-disciplinary electives available to only students of Political Science will ensure diversity and comprehensive learning in the classroom. The proposed courses shall benefit students by enriching their understanding about Hinduism and its multifarious dimensions as fostered through a comprehensive educational experience.
