Delhi:
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) will soon be
opening a centre for the Sindhi language and culture, an IGNOU
spokesperson said Tuesday.
"The centre will be functional from this academic year and is
being set up as per the suggestion of the human resource
ministry," the spokesperson said.
"Full-time, part-time, distance education and on-line courses will
be available to suit different categories of learners," the
spokesperson added.
"Initially, there will be undergraduate courses with various
components like spoken language, literary language, morphology and
grammar," IGNOU Vice Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai said.
"Later, diploma programmes will also be developed followed by
masters and Ph.D. programmes," he said.
As of now only Mumbai University and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati
University, Ajmer, offer Sindhi language and literature up to
masters and Ph.D. levels.
According to IGNOU, the centre will focus on making the youth
conscious of Sindhi literary and cultural heritage through
seminars and meetings with experts.
Sindhi is one of the major literary languages of India, recognized
in the eighth schedule of the constitution.
