Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday called for sincere efforts to bridge the gap between the rich heritage of Sanskrit and the modern academic needs by developing innovative curricula and fostering interdisciplinary research.
Delivering his address at the third convocation of National Sanskrit University (NSU) here, Mr. Dhankhar said Sanskrit’s integration into mainstream education is being hindered by a colonial mindset lingering in a section of modern academics that tends to dismiss Indian knowledge systems.
The Vice-President called Sanskrit the language of divinity that served as a sacred bridge in the pursuit of spirituality. “Sanskrit offers a unique solace: intellectual rigour, spiritual serenity and a deeper connection to oneself and the world,” he observed.
