New Update

In a splendid celebration of Teachers' Day, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, under the leadership of Colonel Prof. (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Srivastava, Vice Chancellor, took a significant step forward in its educational offerings by launching five new certificate courses.

This launch event, graced by the university's Deans, Principals, and the Registrar, marked a moment of unity in the university’s commitment to enhancing academic standards and fostering innovative educational practices.

The Faculty of Social Work introduced two pivotal programs: the Certificate Course on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Certificate Course in Human Rights and Social Justice.

These courses are meticulously designed to prepare students to take on leadership roles in CSR and social justice fields by providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the associated challenges and the skills to advocate for and implement change effectively.

By focusing on practical applications and ethical frameworks, these courses aim to cultivate responsible leaders who can make impactful decisions in their professional fields.

Expanding its curriculum further, the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Policy Research and International Studies unveiled two strategically important courses: "Sustainable Development Goals: The Indian Context" and "Foundations of Governance and Public Policy in India."

These courses are crucial in addressing the need for a profound comprehension of sustainable development practices and public policy formulation in India's rapidly changing socio-economic landscape.

Tailored for aspiring policymakers, these offerings are set to empower students with the knowledge to contribute to India's development goals effectively and ethically.

Additionally, the Centre of Excellence for Indian Knowledge System launched a distinctive course on the "Philosophy of Kautilya," which aims to blend the rich ancient Indian wisdom of the "Arthashastra" with contemporary strategic management and governance.

This course stands out by integrating traditional teachings with modern-day strategic needs, preparing students to apply age-old wisdom to modern-day challenges in governance and leadership.

These new offerings reflect the university’s dedication to the ideals set forth in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which promotes a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to education that includes both traditional and contemporary knowledge systems.

By introducing these courses, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda not only aligns with national educational reforms but also sets a benchmark in the global academic arena, proving its commitment to developing future leaders equipped to handle both current and future challenges.

Under the adept guidance of Colonel Prof. (Dr.) Vijay Kumar Srivastava, the university is poised to reach new heights of academic excellence.

His leadership is instrumental in propelling MSU towards becoming a beacon of learning and innovation, ready to influence both the national and international educational landscapes.
