On November 3–4, 2023, the JPN Centre convened an intensive Curriculum Development Workshop to design a robust and forward-looking curriculum for its upcoming PhD and master’s programmes in Digital Humanities and Environmental Humanities. The workshop brought together leading national experts including Prof. Arjun Ghosh (IIT Delhi), Prof. Maya Dodd and Prof. Mayurakshi Chaudhuri (FLAME University), Prof. Souvik Mukherjee (Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta), Prof. Prabha Shankar Dwivedi (IIT Tirupati), Prof. Anamika Barua (IIT Guwahati), and Prof. Pankaj Sekhsaria (IIT Bombay) to collaboratively shape a transdisciplinary programme that integrates theoretical inquiry, praxis-based learning, and computational training. This initiative was guided by a National Advisory Committee and further enriched by inputs from an international expert panel, ensuring both contextual relevance and global academic rigour. Following these deliberations, the PhD programme commenced in the 2024–25 academic year, with the master’s programme set to launch in 2025–26. These will be among the first of their kind in India, setting a new benchmark for interdisciplinary humanities education within the IIT system and beyond.
