Centre for Deccan Studies

Maulana Azad National Urdu University established the H.K. Sherwani Centre for Deccan Studies after the renowned Indian historian, scholar and author, Haroon Khan Sherwani. The Center’s focus is on interdisciplinary studies encompassing all disciplines of social sciences, Deccan and Deccani Language, its regional dialects and culture. The Center is one of its kind in any Indian university; it promotes understanding and dissemination of information on ‘Deccan Studies’ that has emerged as a separate area of enquiry in recent times. The Center undertakes research and outreach activities by organizing workshops, distinguished lectures, and interactive programs in public domain.
