"The M.Phil. in development practice answers questions of self and collective transformation by closely working with the community and creating action in the fields of livelihood, citizen's and gender rights, health and environment," Anup Dhar of the School of Human Studies at Ambedkar University, told IANS.

Admission to the course, which has 25 seats up for grabs, is through an entrance test followed by an interview.

This is not all, as even Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University has introduced new courses like a bachelors in audiology and speech language therapy and rehabilitation therapy and an MBA in disaster management.

"The audiology and speech language therapy course will help produce speech therapists for which there is a dire need in the country," Nalini Ranjan, public relations officer of IP university, told IANS.

According to Ranjan, the course, which not many universities offer, will help create experts in the field of speech therapy, of which there is an "acute shortage".

At present, the course is available at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and IP University.

Similarly, the four-year bachelors course in rehabilitation therapy is designed to prepare suitable manpower which can help provide the service at the district level where it is lacking at present, and also act as a first-level referral point at the grassroots.
