We now know how society should respond to viral outbreaks like COVID-19. Contagious diseases like COVID-19 can wreak economic and political havoc – so it’s also vital to know the steps we can take towards preventing the spread of such contagious diseases.
In a world gripped with coronavirus, Chaudhary Charan Singh University (CCS University) drew up new academic plans. It now wants to begin a one-year diploma course in the study of the coronavirus and its SARS-CoV2 disease.
- The course will be a part of the university’s disaster management programme.
- CCS University plans to conduct the course on coronavirus over two semesters. The other semesters in the diploma programme will prepare students for disasters like flood, land storms, and sea storms.
- But the studies on the novel coronavirus will fall under the Department of Zoology and Biology.
- According to Prof NK Taneja (Vice-Chancellor), the curriculum of the proposed study of SARS-CoV2 will be chalked out by the heads of zoology, botany and environmental sciences.
- The university also proposes to incorporate the study of coronavirus in three existing science courses.
- The study material for this subject will be included in the new diploma course. It would be a self-financing course, for which in-principle approval has already been given.
The COVID-19 course will be soon put before the Academic Council of the University for necessary approval.
