Bhopal: Short Story To Be Taught For First Time In Varsity

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Short story as a subject will be taught in the universities for the first time in the country and Laghu Katha Shodh Kendra, Bhopal, has designed a one-year diploma course for this.

Rai who designed the course said that the efforts would be made for affiliation with other universities of the country. Discussions have been held for this with some universities.

“I have designed the course and the course may start from next month. It will be professional education,” Rai said.
