The course will be facilitated by the center for Hindu studies (Hindu Abhyas Kendra) and taught by the Faculty of Arts of Mumbai University. This interdisciplinary course will be offered in line with the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which offers students multiple entry and exit options.

Talking about the center, Dr. Ravikant Sangurde said, “Hindu dharma cannot be narrowed down to ritualistic practices. It stands for universal peace and brotherhood and believes in peaceful co-existence of diverse thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and practices".
"The values of considering all entities, living and nonliving, as the form of one Supreme Being, the world as one family will be the key focus of this center" he further added.
