Academic Scenario in Ludhiana
The academia of the city is worth taking notice of. It is difficult to count the names of the colleges here on the fingers of both hands. Another round is necessitated. Like the ancient Greek city of Athens, Ludhiana cannot boast of a Plato or an Aristotle. Still the academies here are no less renowned than the proverbial Greek academy. The subjects taught in the colleges are mind-boggling as the bug of IT (information technology) has bitten almost all institutions. Now there is no end as every end has a new beginning.
At the postgraduate level, the colleges in the city are vying with one another in a mood of healthy competition. Nearly two & a half decades ago the local Government College was the only co-educational institution in the city where English was taught at the postgraduate level. On their part, Guru Nanak Khalsa College for Women (Gujjarkhan campus) and SDP College for Girls (Daresi Ground) were meeting the needs of only the girls for gaining postgraduate degrees in English literature.
Now there is heartening news that GGN Khalsa College has started co-educational classes of MA English from the current session. Earlier, the boys who could not get admission here used to go to GHG Khalsa College, Gurusar, Gurusar Sadhar for their M.A. English degrees. This college is indeed an oasis in a desert. In its own unobtrusive way, GHG Khalsa College is a passport to foreign lands. Moreover, post graduation in English has always been the realization of a dream for many a student. Paradoxically, the knowledge of English has been gaining considerable importance in the academic world in the recent years.
Now there are more than a dozen colleges in Ludhiana where education is being imparted at the postgraduate level in a number of disciplines. In some colleges, such as Govt. College (Boys) and Khalsa College for Women (Civil Lines) five to seven subjects are being taught for the degrees of MA, MSc. and M.Com. Still there are some other courses of study, such as MBA, public administration, sociology and law, which the local colleges have not been able to introduce for lack of means. Research work after post graduation is non-existent in this mega city.
In view of this academic scenario, there is need for the establishment of University Regional Centre in Ludhiana, which would also meet the academic demands of the towns on the periphery of this city.
