Indian Institute of Technology in Varanasi has denied that it is offering a course on how to 'be an ideal daughter-in-law', after media reports cited the same.

In a statement, the institute has said they do not offer any course/training programme entitled “Daughter’s Pride – Beti Meri Abhiman” or an “Adarsh Bahu”.

According to a report in the Indian Express, Dr SP Mathur, the registrar of the institute said that no such training or course available or planned in the IIT-BHU on such topic.

Earlier, DNA reported that the three-month course promises to train women, boost their communications skills and heighten their confidence.  Named ‘My Daughter, My Pride’, the course was designed with Kashi-based Vanita Institute of Fashion and Designs after conducting a survey. They said they had received 'tremendous response' from the public and parents during the survey.

The survey claimed that up to 75% of girls 'lacked' confidence. “Even the educated ones were struck with the fear of their future after marriage. Most of them wanted to pick up a job after tying nuptial knot to support the family. But they were not aware of how to strike a balance between the job and responsibilities back home,” pointed Srivastava.

CEO Neeraj Srivastava told DNA: “People wanted a special course for their marriageable daughters to train them in a variety of skills useful for their careers as well as day to day life after marriage.”

The course has been initiated by Young Skilled India Start-Up which is incubated with the Malviya Nav Parivartan Kendra of IIT-BHU based on demands of parents.

The CEO of the start-up had, however, clarified to DNA at the time that the initiative wasn’t officially linked to IIT-BHU.
