The MoU was signed by Lt Gen VS Sreenivas, Commandant Army War College and Prof Asha Shukla, Vice Chancellor BRAUSS keeping the COVID -19 protocols in mind.
Lt Gen VS Sreenivas, Commandant AWC complimented the Faculty of Studies (FOS) and BRAUSS for the initiative and conveyed his good wishes to personnel who would enroll in the various courses. “The momentous occasion will go a long way in enhancing the professional education of a large section of Armed Forces personnel and Defence civilians at AWC," the Commandant said.
Initially, all ranks will be eligible to register in the PhD programme, Diploma Course in Human Rights and Certificate Course in Yoga.
