When the subject “Defence and strategic studies (Initially as Military Science)” was started in Maharashtra ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2024 Paper 2 Computer Science and Applications Question Paper (07-Apr-2024)
The correct answer is

After 1962 War

The academic study of defence in Indian universities began as Military Science and was later renamed Defence Studies and then Defence and Strategic Studies.

The humiliating reverse suffered by India in the Sino-Indian War of 1962 exposed the lack of defence awareness and strategic thinking among the public and policy makers.

As a result, the subject was introduced in colleges and universities of Maharashtra in the years following the 1962 war, to build national defence consciousness and support the NCC and military preparedness.

The 1857 revolt and the First World War predate independent India's higher education policy, and the 1971 war came after the subject was already established.

Hence, After 1962 War.
