Bhopal varsity to give ‘adarsh bahu’ certificate
Want a sanskaari bride? Come to Barkatullah University in Bhopal. Becoming a "unique" university, Barkathullah University has decided to launch a three months course to prepare an Adarsh Bahu and truly believes it is a step ahead in women empowerment. The course will be launched from the next academic session. Vice-chancellor Prof D C Gupta explained to reports that the objective behind the course is to “make girls aware so that they can adjust to the new environment after marriage”. “As a university, we have a few responsibilities towards society, as well. We should not be limited to academics alone. Our objective is to prepare such brides who will keep families intact,” said Prof Gupta. “We will include various related topics from sociology, psychology and such. Our aim is that after completing the courses, girls should be in a better position to understand the dynamics of families. It is our effort to bring about a positive change in society,” he added. In the first batch, 30 girls will be admitted, he said. Asked if there would be some sort of a minimum educational qualification to apply, he said they are still working out the specifics. “It is too early to comment on this,” said Prof Gupta. -PTC News
