Solution

  • People have a lot of misgivings about the practicality of the knowledge of history. For example, history is usually thought as a field of interest only for historians and students wishing to pursue higher studies in the subject and not pertaining to practical life, history as a field of knowledge does not have any applicability to economically productive fields, etc.
  • ‘Public History’ helps to overcome such misgivings and makes history meaningful in everyday life connecting people to history.
  • There are many universities abroad, where various courses in ‘Public History’ are offered. Srushti Institute of Art Design and Technology is an institute at Bengaluru, Karnataka. This institute has an independent department, named ‘Centre for Public History’.
  • This department has taken up various projects and research in the field of public history.
