A bill to set up central Sanskrit Universities introduced

On Wednesday, a bill to set up central Sanskrit universities was introduced in the Lok Sabha. The bill was introduced by the Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ''Nishank'' and aims to convert three Sanskrit deemed universities into central Universities.The three deemed universities are Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan and the Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth in New Delhi and the Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth in Tirupati.The Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth in Tirupati came into existence in 1961, Lal Bahadur Shastri Rsahtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth was set up in 1962 and Sansthan was set up in 1970. All three institutes were granted deemed university status by the UGC. Sanskrit scholars, for a long time, have been demanding ‘central university’ status for the institutes which will give power to the institutes to grant affiliation to the colleges and will attract more students from India and abroad who wish to study the language.
