Jindal India Institute launches India's first MA in India Studies

The Jindal India Institute (JII) of the O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) successfully hosted the launch of its fully online, one-year Master of Arts (MA) in India Studies programme on March 5 at the JGU International Academy,  New Delhi.

The MA in India Studies is a landmark initiative and the first full-degree Master's programme in India Studies offered by an Indian university. It facilitates engagement with India through a scholarly lens rooted in its own intellectual traditions and contemporary realities.

The programme is designed as a 100 per cent online learning experience, providing flexibility for learners, especially working professionals, to engage with India's diverse cultural and intellectual landscape from anywhere in the world.

The programme is particularly beneficial for international audiences, including diplomats, members of the global Indian diaspora, business professionals, Indophiles, as well as budding scholars of India and South Asia, who seek to critically examine and appreciate the complexities of India's civilisation and contemporary significance of the world's largest democracy with scholarly depth, objectivity, and insight.
