DEHRADUN: In a bid to promote Sanskrit as a spoken language, Uttarakhand govt has announced plans to train one lakh people in basic conversational Sanskrit through both online and offline modes, reports Gaurav Talwar.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to connect the ancient language, which is the second official language of the Himalayan state after Hindi, with livelihood opportunities. As part of this push, certificate courses in yajna, rituals and Vedic studies will be introduced to help youth find employment in Sanskrit-related fields. In the initial phase, 100 students will receive training in conversational Sanskrit and the 16 traditional Hindu rites (sanskars), with plans to scale up the programme annually.
Announcing these plans at 10th general committee meeting of Uttarakhand Sanskrit Academy Thursday, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami highlighted the state's rich cultural and spiritual heritage rooted in Sanskrit, yoga and Ayurveda.
