ABOUT ARTS

Arts & Humanities are the non-technical stream of education that helps in learning the world’s history, cultures, art forms, literature, foreign languages, psychology, etc. Just like technical subjects, these subjects are equally important to study to know about our own history, how it all began and how it changed with time.
