“As a child I learnt about culture from Hollywood and religion from Bollywood. Hinduism didn’t have much to do with my life. OCHS online courses answered my questions and inspired me to ask deeper and more practical questions. They helped me understand how Hindu culture is relevant.”

OCHS Continuing Education:

transforms young scholars into teachers who make difficult ideas accessible, brings Oxford standards to a global audience,
.
contributes to OCHS finances, helping to make all the other work of the OCHS possible – this then further feeds the CED.
The best driver of revenue has been the production of new courses to satisfy our returning students.
“The OCHS is a very exciting development for the future of Indian culture. It is helping the world reflect on Indian identity and perspectives. Any successful initiative is a team effort, so we should all get behind this centre giving it every support we can.”
