Mahant Rohit Shastri presented a ‘Kartavya Marg’ the annual in-House Magazine of SKJAVST to Dr. Karan Singh and raised various issues being faced by Sanskrit students and scholars.
He urged Dr. Karan Singh to take up the matter with higher authorities to convert Shri Raghunath Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya Birpur, as Adarsh Mahavidhalaya. He said the institution is functioning under Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.
Shastri said sanskrit is the mother of all languages and erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir has contributed significantly to Sanskrit language and literature and produced many renowned Sanskrit poets and scholars i.e. Abhinavgupta, Kalhana, Bilhana etc.
The students who are pursuing Sanskrit language and aspiring to have their career in this field are suffering a lot due to an appalling dearth of educational facilities and career opportunities in Sanskrit, Shastri added.
