JNU to set up four new centres

The setting up of four new centres at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has been approved by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

Three of which will be part of the School of Social Sciences whereas one will be a special autonomous centre.

Head of the proposed Centre for Media Research, Prof. Deepak Kumar said that the new centre would focus more on research and not on media studies as compared to other institutes.

Prof. Kumar informed that the centre will be functional in a couple of years. Initially, the programmes that will be offered by the centres would be M.Phil. and Ph.D programmes.
