Gandhinagar: In celebration of the ancient language that lies at the heart of India’s heritage, the Government of Gujarat has announced a special three-day programme from August 6 to 8, 2025, to mark World Sanskrit Day, which falls on August 9. The initiative is being led by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, with the Gujarat State Sanskrit Board at the helm.

Sanskrit – A Living Language of India’s Ancient Wisdom

Described in the verse “Amritam Sanskritam Mitram, Sarsam Saralam Vachah; Ekta-Moolakam Rashtram, Gyan-Vigyan-Poshakam”, Sanskrit is revered for its clarity, elegance, and depth. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has urged citizens to engage more actively with Sanskrit, calling it not just a language but a guiding force for holistic development, spiritual awareness, and national unity.

‘Yojana Panchakam’: Five Schemes for Sanskrit Revival

To institutionalize Sanskrit promotion, the Gujarat State Sanskrit Board has rolled out ‘Yojana Panchakam’, a framework comprising five schemes:

Sanskrit Saptahotsav Yojana – Supporting state-wide celebrations during Sanskrit Week

Sanskrit Samvardhan Sahayata Yojana – Providing financial assistance to researchers, teachers, and institutions

Sanskrit Protsahan Yojana – Encouraging Sanskrit learning among school communities

Shrimad Bhagwat Gita Yojana – Promoting life reflection and verse memorization through the Gita

Shat Subhashit Kanthpath Yojana – Instilling moral values by memorizing 100 Sanskrit Subhashitas

These initiatives are designed to preserve the linguistic heritage, encourage intergenerational learning, and bridge Sanskrit with modern educational and technological platforms.

A Timeless Language for a Timely Revival

Celebrated annually on Shravan Purnima, which also marks Raksha Bandhan, Sanskrit Day historically symbolizes the start of academic learning in ancient India. The rituals of Ved recitation, which traditionally begin on this day, reflect Sanskrit’s deep-rooted connection with the Vedic tradition.

Both Central and State Governments are working actively to popularize Sanskrit through digital tools, educational reforms (NEP 2020), and cultural programs, ensuring its relevance and accessibility for future generations.
