LG Manoj Sinha Proposes Changes at Kashmir University
The Lieutenant Governor of Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, suggested some changes at Kashmir University.
He wants to make it easier for students from other countries to join the university.
He also suggested changing the name of the Earth Sciences department to Geology.
Additionally, he proposed new five-year courses in areas like applied geology, tourism, data science, and home science.
These changes aim to make education more skill-focused and interdisciplinary, meaning students will learn a mix of different subjects.

The Department of Earth Sciences is suggested to be renamed to the Department of Geology.
Five-year integrated master's programs in applied geology, tourism and travel management, data science and AI, and home science are proposed.
