Lucknow .A meeting of the Academic Council was held in the Malviya Auditorium of Lucknow University under the chairmanship of Honorable Vice Chancellor Prof. Alok Rai. Presiding over the meeting, Vice Chancellor #NAME? said that the work of universities is to create very good curriculum and we have prepared very good curriculum at undergraduate and postgraduate level for our NEP 2020. It is a work that does not cost any money.
