Students will get an opportunity to learn foreign languages as well,&rdquo; said the sources.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />&ldquo;We have decided to start this course after a discussion with the national bodies working in the field of science in the city like the Indian Institute of Science. The interest in science is declining among students and we need to attract them,&rdquo; said Dr N Prabhu Dev, vice-chancellor, Bangalore University.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />&ldquo;Another reason behind introducing this course is to encourage multi-discipline awareness among students,&rdquo; he said.
