On May 2, 2025, Delhi University's Standing Committee on Academic Affairs, led by Shri Prakash Singh, objected to a draft undergraduate psychology syllabus that included the Israel-Palestine conflict and the Kashmir issue under 'Conflict Resolution'. Singh asserted that the Kashmir issue has been resolved and suggested replacing these topics with teachings from the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita to better understand the psychology of peace. This revision is part of the university's ongoing syllabus overhaul following the 2022 introduction of a four-year undergraduate program under the National Education Policy. The revised syllabus will proceed to the Academic Council for final approval. (PC: The Times of India & Hindustan Times)
