Hyderabad: ‘Social Sciences must innovate in order to survive and the Refresher courses must offer a new and fresh perspective on the subject’, said Prof. Kancha Ilaiah, former Director, of the Center for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (CSSEIP), MANUU.
He was speaking today at the inaugural session of the Refresher course in Political Science & Public Administration being organized by UGC-HRDC, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU).
