Such conferences are expected to bring together scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts of Sanskrit from across the globe.

Other Notable Proposals

The Ashtadashi Yojana, aimed at promoting traditional Sanskrit practices, and the establishment of hostel facilities for Sanskrit students were also proposed during the meeting. The overarching goal of these proposals is to create a sustainable and thriving ecosystem for Sanskrit education in Uttarakhand, making the language more accessible and impactful for future generations.
