SPPU Deccan College begins PGD course on Buddhist heritage
SPPU aims to introduce students to the history of Buddhism in India and Asia via its PGD course on Buddhist heritage and tourism.
SPPU Admissions 2021: Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) and Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute is all set to jointly launch a postgraduate diploma (PGD) course on Buddhist heritage and tourism. Talking about the collaboration, an Assistant Professor of Deccan College said, "We aim to introduce students to the history of Buddhism in India and Asia.” According to the official reports, the course combines Buddhist heritage, history, culture and tourism. Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Students Welfare Association (MSWA) drafted a letter to Maharashtra Education Minister Uday Samant urging him to conduct the Savitribai Phule Pune University’s (SPPU) regular session examinations online.Â
Talking about the ongoing internal dispute in the University, the president of the Maharashtra Students Welfare Association (MSWA), Vaibhav Edke, alleged in the letter, “Pune University has not yet announced how the regular session examinations will be conducted. Even though the entire syllabus has been taught, the university has not declared anything when and how the examinations will be held. The university has not yet filled up the examination forms required for the examination. Even further studies have also begun to be taught in the absence of regular session examinations. This has created fear among the students. If the exams are not held soon, the students are afraid that they will have to take both semester exams at the same time.
Also three months after the final year exams, the university has not taken any concrete decision for the students with final year backlog. Earlier, the Minister for Higher and Technical Education had said that the year would not be wasted if there will be any backlog in the final year’s examination. But even no constructive decision has been made regarding this by the university.”
“Students should not be harmed due to internal disputes in the university, this is not acceptable and as the Head of the Department of Higher and Technical Education, the education minister should take up the issue," he further added.
