B.Sc (Home Science), a course generally associated with females, has a lot to offer to its students. But those who are not fully aware of what the course is actually all about feel that the course caters only for cooking, stitching and home making.

Now a student of home science has a world full of options. Quite unlike a student with B.Sc. Physics or computers who has only limited options, a Home Science graduate could try his or her luck in a number of industries like fashion technology, food industry, hospitality industry, NGOs and education sector.

Course Structure:-

A course in Home science is a holistic course that is aimed at all-round development of women.

The course structure of Home Science is basically designed by the Home Science Association of India in collaboration with University Grants Commission. Apart from the languages, the course generally concentrates on three core areas – human development, foods and dietetics and resource management. Further, each subject covers an array of sub-topics under its domain.

Subject like human development covers topics like psychology, physiology, pre and post-natal development and child welfare. Whereas, food and nutrition cover subjects like food science, biochemistry, dietetics and food service management under their domain.

And resource management, another subject of home science, covers a wide range of topics like textile science, apparel design, extension education, research and methodology, computer application, resource management, family economics, interior designing and microbiology.

Career options:-

When it comes to career, sky is the limit for home science students. These students can opt for careers in Foods & Nutrition, Human Development & Family studies, Resource Management & Consumer Sciences and Apparel & Textiles. Home science graduates can become dieticians in hospitals, diet consultants / counsellors in lifestyle clinics, freelance dieticians food demonstrators, scientists in research institutions, teaching faculty in universities, project leaders in developmental projects, nutrition experts in international organisations, consultants for child development programmes, programme officers for child welfare schemes, production managers in apparel industries, quality control inspectors, CAD professionals, interior designers and colour consultants. So, there are varied career options available to these students.
Besides that, a degree in Home Science also opens up vistas for self-employment. Other than that, a graduate in this subject could start their on school, crche, interior design and fashion boutiques or even set up an event management firm. Those who are looking to study further, the doors are open till Ph.D, apart from attempting competitive examinations like CAT, GMAT, IAS or NIFT.

Admission in home science is based on Intermediate marks. As the concern for lifestyle, health and nutrition is growing in our society, the importance of home science courses are also increasing. The initial misconception of home science as only a domestic science has faded away. These days, more and more institutes are starting courses in Home science in India. For example to improve the employability of the rural students, Punjab Agricultural University is planning to start a six-year degree course in home science. Similarly, the University of Delhi is also planning to restructure the home science courses to make them more relevant in the changing circumstances. It is anticipated that eventually, home science courses would draw attention from various other colleges and universities as well.

Though a course in home science can be pursued by students of social science, commerce or science backgrounds, the course is interdisciplinary in nature and all aspiring students need to learn basics of physics, chemistry and biology in the first year of their graduation. Therefore, there are some institutes that keep the course open only for students of science background.

Scope of Home Science Courses in India:-

After a student has completed a graduate degree in home science, he / she can either join various industries or carry on further studies. The employment opportunities for home science graduates are continuously and rapidly growing. Thus, one can easily take up a job in the production industry, tourism industry, service industry or teaching jobs, technical jobs, or sales jobs.

With their scientific approach and practical applicability, home science courses actually can contribute a lot not only in fulfilling the personal ambitions of students but also in betterment of family and community living in a diverse country like India.

We feel it is unfortunate that such a rich and complex tradition has been reduced to such a banal and simple stereotype. At the same time, we were drawn to Tantra because of its sexual aspects, and we are convinced that consciously exploring sexuality is a rich and meaningful path. It can function as a gateway into an experience or way of being in the world that may be more truly described as Tantric. Thus, we hope to strike a balance between the rigorous and uncompromising view of the many modern scholars and traditionalists who dismiss ”New Age” Tantrism with scorn, and popularizers, who preach the gospel of Tantric Sex, yet have virtually no familiarity with its history and, moreover, have not been initiated into a traditional lineage.

It may be clear by now that Tantra is a confusing and even paradoxical subject, and with that in mind, we offer the following, in hopes that it will give you some new ways of thinking about the meaning of the word Tantra.

Tantra is an ancient tradition that recognizes sexual energy as a source of personal and spiritual empowerment. This sets it apart from most Western traditions and helps explain why most Westerners have reduced it to its sexual elements alone.

Tantra is the magic of transforming one’s consciousness and thereby transforming one’s entire being. Your body is the most powerful tool for bringing about this transformation.

Tantra is a spiritual science. Tantric techniques have been tested and have proven effective for many centuries. If you practice diligently, you will experience results.

Tantra can be quite simple. Everyone has had Tantric experiences; it is not always so simple to notice them.

Tantra can be embraced in whole or in part. A few simple practices can often produce profound results.

Tantra is goalless, unless exploring and expanding consciousness can be called a goal. Goal orientation is one of the biggest obstacles faced by the aspiring Tantrika; abandoning specific goals and focusing on what you are doing in the moment, with as much awareness as you can muster, are the keys to effective practice.

Tantra is a way of life. The Tantric approach to exploring your own consciousness is an ever-evolving process of discovery that emerges from daily practice.

Tantra can provide you with the means to deepen your sense of connection to yourself, to your partner, to all that is.

Tantra includes practices, which, while often simple, can lead to the experience of extraordinary ecstasy.

Tantra is a technology of mind and body that will lead you to know yourself deeply.

Tantra is for people of ”heroic” temperament, already presumably healthy. Anyone interested in practicing Tantra should have done considerable work on him/herself before beginning on the path. Traditionally, this type of work often included many years of yogic study and practice; for Westerners, psychotherapy may be the best form of preparation for serious Tantric study, since it provides the student with many of the necessary tools for the self-exploration that is such a central part of Tantra. Our teacher, Dr. Jonn Mumford has written: ”In the West, we have a particular type of Yoga called psychotherapy; it is one of the most valuable heritages that Western civilization has produced.” He goes on to observe that anyone with a serious interest in Yoga must experience psychotherapy. The same applies to Tantra, but we feel it is important not to blend the two, since the approaches are so radically different.

There are various kinds of sciences in the world, but the ones that we value the most are those that can affect and improve our lives today. After all, if something doesnt benefit our life here and now, or in the foreseeable future, then why would we want to waste our time to actually learn it?

Science exists in order to research nature and find ways to improve our lives. If we see that a certain science will benefit us, then we will invest great effort and means to learn it. Throughout history we have seen that science develops in order for society to progress and advance. For example, scientific advancement led to the invention of the steam engine and other mechanical devices. On the other hand, when these inventions became obsolete, we no longer had any use for the science that created them. In other words, a science can appear and disappear depending on our need for it.

Kabbalah is an ancient science that has recently reappeared and continues to become increasingly popular because it offers knowledge that is of great benefit to todays society. It is the science that enables us to understand ourselves and the world around us in its entirety. There is no other science that can completely explain the structure, function, and laws of the universe.

Why is Kabbalah able to offer us a complete knowledge that is beyond the boundary of more traditional sciences? It’s because Kabbalah deals with concepts that are beyond time and spaceour eternal, spiritual existence. And since this science studies things that are eternal, the science itself is eternally valuable. That is to say, the information it offers will never become “obsolete.”

But if Kabbalah contains such great knowledge, then why aren’t more people learning it? The reason for this is that Kabbalah cannot be learned the same way that other sciences are learned. If a person tries to learn Kabbalah in order to be knowledgeable or smart, then he will not really learn it. In order to learn Kabbalah, a person must focus on the new sensations he feels while studying since the purpose of studying is to begin to feel the part of reality that’s beyond time and space.

Today, many people are learning the correct way to study Kabbalah and are discovering this eternal, infinite realm. Millions of people study Kabbalah, whether over the Internet, through books or other media. Some study it everyday and “live by it,” so to say, while others simply remember that Kabbalah exists. In any case, once a person begins to study and understand Kabbalah, he never forgets it because he has already come into contact with the eternal, spiritual part of the universe. The knowledge he gains through studying Kabbalah is already an inseparable part of him and has a positive influence on his life and his development. Today, there are many scientists who use this wisdom for practical research and attainment, and they invite those who are interested to join them.
