The Sanskrit Studies and Research Centre is envisioned to promote the study of the Sanskrit language as an invaluable heritage which is a key to unlock the vast corpus of knowledge it treasures. It is an off-shoot of the Translation and Translations Studies Centre and rests upon the College’s collection of rare books in Sanskrit. The Centre will promote the acquisition of language skills along with the phonetics and phonology of Sanskrit. It will encourage translation from Sanskrit into other Indian and foreign languages. It will organize activities to familiarize and popularize Sanskrit among the youth in particular. It will network with all the Learning and Resource Centres of the College in activities that have the possibility to highlight the contribution of Sanskrit language and writings in it. It will collaborate with like-minded academic and cultural bodies to establish linkages to carry the Centre forward.
