The University of Madras offers number of courses one of the course is Ph.D in Hindi

This Course is offered by the Department of Hindi

The Programme of Hindi had concentrated its attention to the study of these classics comparing them with those of the relevant portions in Hindi. Works of Kabirdas, Bihari Lal and other Suktikaras of Hindi were compared with "Tirukkural" which is a treasure-house of common Ethical codes for all people of all times. Tulasidas's Rama-Charita-Manas was compared with Kambaramayanam, both of which contain the same story of Rama as depicted by Valmiki. Kambaramayanam and Rama-Charita-Manas have very many deviation from their original in their plot constructions etc. The first publication of the department is a critical study of these two forms of the same picture, which leads us to interfere that Kambaramayanam is one of the sources for Rama-Charita-Manas.
