Keeping the heterogeneous nature and varied needs of its clientele, the university offers a range of programmes catering to human resource development as well as self-enrichment.

It is proposed that the Programme would be in modular approach leading to the Post Graduate Certificate, PostGraduate Diploma and Masters Programme in Gandhi and Peace Studies as a specialized area for those who are interested in understanding the evaluation and implementation of 10
