Three Sanskrit institutes which are currently operating as deemed-to-be-universities are all set to become Central Universities with the government initiating a move in this regard, Deccan Herald has reported.
A Cabinet note has been circulated by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to other ministries asking for comments and suggestions over the proposal submitted.
The three institutes are namely, New Delhi’s Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth and Tirupati’s Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth. This demand has been much awaited from scholars of the Sanskrit language.
A bill will be required to grant the central university status to the aforementioned institutes of learning. The government intends to make “seats of Sanskrit learning of national and international repute”.
After the university status, these Sanskrit Pathshalas can offer certificate courses.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
