Many social sciences and humanities faculties in Japan are to close after universities were ordered to “serve areas that better meet society’s needs”, it has been reported.
.
Of the 60 national universities that offer courses in these disciplines, 26 have confirmed that they will either close or scale back their relevant faculties at the behest of Japan’s government, according to a survey of university presidents by the Yomiuri Shimbun.

We activists in India should also work to ensure that GoI doesnt waste money in subjects like political science, sociology, history, macro-economics, philosophy etc

Some subjects like psycology are borderline science and should be kept. Micro-econimics is science. Geography is science. They should be kept. But GoI funding on useless subjects like political science, sociology, history, macro-economics, philosophy etc should end
