The arts faculty of the Gujarat University in a meeting on Thursday decided to start a six-month course on environment. The curriculum for this course will be the one prepared by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The colleges will be asked to commence this course, conduct exams and give certificates on their own. Moreover, English medium and Gujarati medium students of arts faculty, who were studying together so far, will now be taught separately based on their mode of instruction. Dean of the faculty Pradeep Prajapati said, "The possibility of introducing more job-oriented and vocational subjects in the graduate and post graduate streams of the arts faculty courses was also discussed in the meeting.'
