The Story in Brief
Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore will introduce a four-year integrated Bachelor of Performing Arts (BPA) programme from the 2026-27 academic session. The course, aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, will be run by its newly established School of Performing Arts. It offers specialisations in classical dance (Kathak), Hindustani classical music (vocal and tabla), and theatre. Students will receive theoretical and practical training through workshops, stage performances, and internships. Vice-Chancellor Prof Rakesh Singhai said the initiative aims to prepare professionally trained artistes for national and international platforms.
The Indian Opinion
The announcement of a four-year BPA at DAVV is welcome, but claims that this will single-handedly preserve India's 'rich cultural heritage' are overblown. The real test will be in faculty quality, industry tie-ups, and student placements. Without concrete benchmarks for alumni success, such initiatives risk becoming just another degree in an already crowded market.
