As said by the official, “Students will be required to undertake an entrance test where their knowledge on basic Buddhist literature, heritage sites, history, and culture will be tested. The present course intake has been decided at 30, excluding foreign nationals.”

Additionally, Dr Shrikant Ganvir, assistant professor in Ancient Indian History and Culture, at the Deccan College said, “We aim to introduce students to the history of Buddhism in India and Asia, its heritage and literature and also the world Buddhist heritage circuits with special focus on Indian sites. The Ajanta and Ellora caves are popular among visitors. But there are similar and equally magnificent Buddhist heritage sites in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra which are not very well known even today.”

He further stated, “More often than not, tourists and visitors from Buddhist-majority countries like China, Japan, Sri Lanka, and Thailand do not get to learn about Buddhism or its history when they visit Indian sites. Through internships and training in tourism management, we hope to prepare students for the tourism industry, especially for Buddhist heritage sites.”

Deokar said, “We are planning to bring industry experts and tie-up with tourism sector departments of the government so that students get to learn on the job. This could include joining ongoing projects and fieldwork to heritage sites”
