IN an ever-evolving and complex world, the belief that you studied the arts if you didn't have the brains to do science was given a burial a few decades back. For nothing else prepares you better to understand the realm of human life, society and culture than the interdisciplinary approach of Humanities courses.
This is something Hindu College in Delhi University recognises well and has geared its entire pedagogy towards, in its undergraduate programmes. A most sought-after institution for social science subjects, Hindu offers 19 undergraduate courses under its Bachelor of Arts programme. Students not only get to thoroughly study the discipline of their choice by virtue of the well-designed curriculum, the culture of free-flowing academic debates and discussion, industry-academia collaboration and a strong focus on extracurricular activities make their education more well-rounded. Students and teachers have more of a mentor-mentee relationship. Hindu boasts more than 60 student clubs and societies catering to a variety of interests, from dance and drama to music and painting, to debate and discussion and quizzing.
Last year in April, for example, the Department of Political Science and the Observer Research Foundation organised the Hindu-ORF Policy Conclave 2023 along with the ministry of external affairs and the G20 Secretariat. Not only did it prove to be a fantastic effort to take the discourse and learning beyond the classroom, it also provided students exposure and an excellent forum to understand the sociopolitical affairs of the world and participate in it. Exactly what their degree aims to equip them with.
WHAT SETS IT APART
Hindu College had a CGPA of 3.6 out of 4 in the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NACC) ranking
The average annual salary (domestic) offered to students is Rs 10.6 lakh, highest among arts colleges

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR
The upcoming byelection in the assembly constituency of Milkipur, in Ayodhya district, carries immense significance for both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP). Scheduled for February 5, it's a battle that could help shape the initial narrative for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The Scheduled Caste-reserved seat fell vacant after the 2024 general election, when its veteran SP MLA Awadhesh Prasad famously fought and won the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat-under which Milkipur falls, as does Ayodhya. Coming within months of the Ram temple inauguration, that loss had dealt a bitter blow to the BJP: it was tantamount to Hindutva being humbled in its symbolic homeland. Thoughts of redemption will therefore be uppermost in the party's mind.
