Prof. Shri Prakash Singh attended to the students’ concerns in a Question and Answer Session and addressed “how this Centre is inherently interdisciplinary in nature.” Adding to the discussion, Dr. Prerna Malhotra talked about the subjects that would be taught at the Centre, which are “Major in Hindu Studies, with Minor in Political Science, Computer Science, Commerce as well as skill-based subjects like Manuscriptology and Data Analytics in the first semester”.
