DU's Hansraj College comes up with skill-based courses

To promote skill development and entrepreneurship Hansraj College of Delhi University has set up five new centres that will offer certificate courses in 25 subjects from the next year.

Centre for Social Change, Centre for Innovative Ideas, Centre for Environment Awareness, Centre to Promote Self Employment and Gandhi Bhave Study Centre- these five centres were inaugurated on last Tuesday.

"These five centres would be run by a set of collaborators at the North Campus College with courses varying from a week duration to six months," said acting Principal of the college.

"We are providing the opportunity for our students to take skill-based training while pursuing their degrees. Students have already registered for computer and media courses. We have seen that students know Facebook and Twitter these day but other aspects of computer which are useful in daily life and also for doing something worthy are not learnt by them. It will be enriching for them," the principal added further.
