    Your list doesnot mention the “Lucknow College of Arts & Crafts” which is not only one of the three oldest colleges of arts in India but also the first institute to introduce Photography at BFA level in 1975 and also introduced MFA Photography in 1996, the only Masters’ Degree in Still Photography in India. Now they have a PhD on offer too in the same.
    I know this as I have been teaching there since 1995. Since 1975 Lucknow Arts College has become a full fledged faculty of Lucknow Univeristy and is also referred to as the Faculty of Fine Arts, Lucknow Univeristy.
