CHANDIGARH: For the first time, lessons on Swami Vivekananda's life will go online at Panjab University. While the world celebrates the 150th birth anniversary year of Vivekananda this year, this unique distant learning certificate programme offered by PU's University School of Open Learning (USOL), is set to reach out to national and international applicants.
Different from last year's course, this year special classes of "positive personality" would also be incorporated in the curriculum. This includes guided meditations for six days on the university campus, which will be an optional activity."It is for the first time that students, sitting in any part of the country, will be able to access all the material online. This certificate programme is unique in the sense that students studying for any other degree course -- even in the same university -- can enroll. Hence it was designed in a manner that it offered a dual-degree provision to students," says Sudhir Baweja, coordinator, philosophy department, USOL.He added though this course is being offered by certain other universities too now, but through distant learning this programme was introduced for the first time at PU nine years ago.
