The Banaras Hindu University (BHU) is planning to start a postgraduate (PG) course on one of the oldest cities in the world, Varanasi. The course will be called ‘Kashi Studies’ and the session will commence in July 2021. The course will be offered by the university’s history department under the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Kaushal Kishor Mishra, dean of Faculty of Social Science, BHU, told Education Times, that the decision to launch the course is directly driven by people’s curiosity to learn about Kashi as the city hosts a huge number of visitors/ tourists every year.
