Adding many new subjects, two new-age contemporary postgraduate programmes have been launched by the Gandhian Centre for Philosophical Arts and Sciences, MAHE. Along with MA in Ecosophical Aesthetics, which was launched last year, yet another innovative programme – MA in Art and Peace Studies has been launched from this academic year.

While different arts and philosophy are a common thread in both the PG programmes, Ecosophical Aesthetics primarily deals with contemporary ecological crises and philosophical appreciation of art forms, while the Art and Peace Studies deals with social and international crises and how art could be used as a medium for peace.
