IIT-Kharagpur has plans to introduce Vaastu Shastra in its curriculum soon.
"We wish to introduce Vaastu in our architecture syllabus so that it can be taught in classes," the institute's Ranbir and Chitra Gupta School of Infrastructure Design and Management (RCGSIDM) head, Prof Joy Sen told PTI today.
Vastu Shastra had its beginnings in the Rig Veda. "The science of Vaastu is the science of mathematics. Today, the whole world is looking at the concept of Vaastu which talks about the synergy between nature and civilisation. We want to make young generations aware of that," he said.
