KCHR course to offer a peek into the past Updated: Updated: Certificate programme in reading old scripts from February Share Article Certificate programme in reading old scripts from February The Kerala Council for Historical Research (KCHR) will launch a certificate course in reading old scripts like ‘Kolezhuthu’ and ‘Vattezhuthu’ in February as part of its efforts to create a team of scholars well-versed in scripts to help research. The number of scholars, researchers, and students of history and others, familiar with old scripts, has depleted. There are not enough people to aid research now, and the course is being introduced to meet this requirement.
