Bangalore University has planned to take civic class of its undergraduate students. It will soon start a customised course for them. According to plan, the course topics are practical and relevant and focused on manifestations and consequences of citizens' civic behaviour and the role of citizens.

The executive trustee of the NGO Children's Movement for Civic Awareness (CMCA)- Priya Krishnamurthy informed that  the course would be introduced as a compulsory subject in all undergraduate courses in colleges under Bangalore University and would also include an examination and a compulsory project.

The university's academic council will meet later this month to consider the course material. If the material and other details like making attendance compulsory are approved, the course may be introduced in all the 654 colleges affiliated to the varsity from the academic session beginning later this year.
