The Delhi University executive council (EC), in a meeting on Friday, approved six value addition courses (VAC), including four centred on the Bhagavad Gita, and one on Viksit Bharat.

NEW DELHI: These VACs will be made part of the curriculum from the 2025-26 academic year, officials aware of the matter said.

The introduction of the courses was earlier passed by the university's academic council (AC) on December 27, 2024, amid dissent by some members on their content.

The four VACs which focus on the Bhagavad Gita are titled "Gita for Holistic Life", "Gita and Leadership Excellence", "Gita for Sustainable Universe", and "Gita for Navigating Life Challenges". Officials said the syllabus for Gita for Holistic Life proposes teachings on self-management, navigating dilemmas of contemporary life, and modes of action, knowledge, and devotion-derived from Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga. Practical components will also be part of the course.

Similar thematic applications of Gita's teachings to leadership, sustainability, and life challenges will be covered in the other courses.
