Schemes for Gandhian/Nehru/Buddhist Studies, Women's Studies and Area Studies Centres, and Programmes for Adult and Continuing Education

Abstract

India has produced some great thinkers and social leaders who by their revolutionary and path-breaking thoughts and actions have left a lasting impact on not only India but on the whole world. They have propounded thoughts and have initiated actions which have provided cultural and ethical identity to India. There is a need to acquaint teachers and students with their thoughts and actions and to involve them in studies and research (relating to Buddha, Gandhi and Nehru). UGC extends assistance under this scheme to the university system for pursuing the studies relating to the thoughts and actions of these great men. The UGC assists the universities on a selective basis for setting up and running centres of Gandhian Studies, Nehru Studies and Buddhist Studies with the above mentioned objectives.
