Delhi University Introduces MA In Hindi Journalism, Course Begins This Year
Last Updated: Delhi University will introduce a Master's in Hindi-medium journalism in 2025-26, approved by the Standing Committee on Academic Matters. On Hindi Journalism Day, Delhi University's Standing Committee on Academic Matters approved the introduction of a Master's programme in Hindi-medium journalism, scheduled to begin in the 2025–26 academic session, panel members confirmed, as reported by PTI. Observed annually on 30 May, Hindi Journalism Day commemorates the 1826 publication of Udant Martand — India's first Hindi-language newspaper — and underscores the vital role of journalism as the fourth pillar of democracy. The newly approved postgraduate programme will be offered by the Department of Hindi within the Faculty of Arts. The course adheres to the university's Postgraduate Curriculum Framework, aligning with its broader academic vision for multidisciplinary and vernacular education. However, the programme requires final approval from the Academic Council before implementation. According to the PTI report, committee members also disclosed that an English-medium MA in Journalism, offered by the Department of English, is anticipated to launch in the 2026–27 academic session, further broadening DU's media education portfolio. The Standing Committee convened on Friday to discuss and approve syllabi for several undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. These included the seventh and eighth semesters of BA courses in education, Hindustani music (both programme and honours), and geography — all structured under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF). Postgraduate syllabi for subjects such as philosophy, economics, geography, sociology, political science, and mathematics were also reviewed and updated to comply with the new curriculum structure. The committee had previously met on 2, 6, and 8 May to deliberate on various syllabus revisions. Many of these changes have already been approved by the university's Academic and Executive Councils, despite some dissenting voices. First Published: May 31, 2025, 10:47 IST
