Scheme for Development of Sanskrit Education

Abstract

The Sanskrit Commission appointed by the Government of India in 1956, recommended that help and patronage should be extended to important active private academies and bodies, which are working for the popularization of Sanskrit in their respective regions. Consequent upon this, a large number of organizations and individuals working in the field of Sanskrit have been applying for financial assistance to the Government of India from time to time under different schemes. Till recently, some of the schemes are being administered by Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan while some others were administered by the Government of India. It has now been decided by the Government of India that all these schemes shall be implemented by the Sansthan hereafter after merging the schemes together. In this background, the schemes, which have been under the purview of the Government of India and Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, have been merged and given a new shape. The merged scheme will be hereinafter called the Scheme for the Development of Sanskrit Education: 2007 and shall come into force from the financial year 2007-08. The Sansthan will have the power to make any amendment in the scheme at any time with the approval of the Ministry.
