GUWAHATI: Tezpur University is set to launch a new Department of Defence Studies. The university's Academic Council and Board of Management have officially approved this initiative, marking a significant step towards enhancing national security education.  

During a recent meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Prof Shambhu Nath Singh, Vice Chancellor of Tezpur University, emphasized the strategic importance of having a Defence Studies Department in close proximity to China. The Defence Minister commended the university's initiative and guaranteed full support from the Ministry of Defence. 

The upcoming Department of Defence Studies will collaborate with experts, defence establishments, and policymakers to establish a booming academic ecosystem in the field of defence studies.
