Very useful and detailed information for obtaining financial aid for Sanskrit education development. The scheme of the HRD Ministry really deserves applause for it, as it is encouraging and motivating the people engaged in the areas of Sanskrit education. As this language is not in the mainstream and confined to the literary or research work, people are not exposed to it. At the same time, Sanskrit has got good recognition in some of the countries like Germany where many people do research work in it as there is a lot of literature and original material available written in this language and scholars are unearthing those hidden treasures.
So such schemes from the Govt will definitely encourage the Sanskrit teachers and they should take advantage of this by applying for the same in time.
