Mahatma Gandhi University’s Syndicate approved the proposal to start online language courses as part of its Honours degree programmes. Chaired by the Vice Chancellor Dr. C.T Aravindakumar, the meeting recommended the introduction of courses in French, German and Tamil language in the first phase. These language courses can be studied in the first two semesters. These courses will be organised in such a way that students from any university or college across the state can enrol.
