LUCKNOW: Amid the ongoing nationwide protests over the amended Citizenship Act, Prayagraj-based UP Rajarshi Tandon Open University has introduced a three-month certificate course to educate people about the CAA, Article 370 and Article 35A and make them aware of the nuances involved.
According to the university’s regional director CK Singh, UPRTOU is the first educational institution in the country to take the initiative in a bid to clear the air over the issue. Singh said when so much confusion was being spread over the CAA, this course would help people get a clear perspective of the new law.
