The Banaras
Hindu University will soon introduce a two-year postgraduate course on
'Kashi Study' from the next academic session.
The course will help students decipher the mystique of the heritage city
through academia.
"Students
from India and abroad who have an interest in understanding the mystery of
Kashi can take admission in the course. This will teach them about the city which
is one of the oldest in the world and is a symbol of life, and used to be known
for its streets. The religious culture, musical tradition and sculpture art of
Kashi always attracts and mesmerizes the world," a statement issued by the
government said.
The first session
of the course under the Faculty of Social Sciences will begin in July next
year, the government said.
Dean of Social
Sciences Faculty (BHU) Kaushal Kishore Mishra said a committee will prepare a
course structure by December 30.
A seven-member
committee headed by the dean of faculty of social science, Prof. Kowshal
Kishore Mishra, is working on the course framework and is likely to complete it
by December 26.
"The course
structure will be presented for approval before the academic council in
January," he said and added that the learning will be about the culture,
history, religious importance, ways of living and assets of Kashi. They will
also get a chance to understand the works of Tulsidas, Kabir, Premchand, Gautam
Buddha, Ravidas and other saints.
