While <\/b>Mumbai University<\/b><\/a> announced the launch of its Mumbai University Archaeology Department more than two years ago, the faculty still struggles to become completely functional.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThere is a severe lack of educators in the department, and students are unable to fulfill their educational goals.<\/span> Not only that, but the whole Mumbai University faculty of this department is constantly suffering from budget reductions, which further hinders the learning process.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mumbai University’s reputation in India<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mumbai University is one of the best-recognized higher education institutions in India, and the announcement of a whole new archaeological department was well received by students.<\/span>
\nUnfortunately, the ambitious goals of the university were not met with the proper financial support, and now students attending the Masters of Arts in Archaeology are facing challenges.<\/b>
\nCurrently, students in archaeology courses are under the care of the Centre for Extra-Mural Studies (CEMS). While in 2017, CEMS received more than seven thousand dollars in funding from Mumbai University, this support was gradually cut down over the next couple of years.<\/span>
\nThis has caused a significant delay in the official launch of the archaeological department at Mumbai University.<\/span><\/p>\n

Archaeology and its importance\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is true that archaeology is not one of the trendy higher education courses at the moment, it is actually a very important field of study.<\/span>
\nArchaeologists from all over the world are looking to uncover the mysteries of our history, and their discoveries often lead to groundbreaking revelations.<\/b> For example, thanks to the hard work of international archaeological expeditions, scientists are able to determine the <\/span>rate of extinction<\/span><\/a> of different species over billions of years.<\/span>
\nSuch information is extremely important for the future of the Earth and its inhabitants, including humans.\u00a0<\/span>
\nHopefully, Mumbai University will find a way to secure the necessary funding, in order to fully develop the archaeological department and support students in their courses. <\/b>This is an essential higher education discipline, which requires proper funding and a sufficient number of faculty members.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
