Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha a vibrant varsity with academic bends: UGC Joint Secretary

Tirupati: The five-day national workshop on composition and translation in Sanskrit, organised at Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha (RSVP) was concluded here on Friday. About 80 research scholars from Kerala, Delhi, Sringeri and Tirupati took part in the workshop.

UGC Joint Secretary Dr Archana Thakur participated in the valedictory programme as chief guest and presided over by Vice-Chancellor Prof V Muralidhara Sharma. Speaking on the occasion, 

Archana Thakur has complimented the RSVP as vibrant university though it had the traditional blend. The University has been striving hard to reckon Sanskrit as a language of mass by telecasting the programme through Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC) “Samskrutam Nerchukundam” and the institution has been imparting Sanskrit at free of cost, which was noteworthy.

The UGC will support RSVP in all endeavours for promotion of Sanskrit language and its quality, she said. Muralidhara Sharma has asserted that the Vidyapeetha has to lead towards promotion of Sanskrit language with quality and in this direction the workshop has been a step ahead. 

The workshop was coordinated by Prof Korada Suryanarayana, supported by Dr Kandala Kadambini and Dr Yasaswi. Registrar Ch P Satyanarayana, Dean-Academic Affairs Prof RL Narasimha Sastry, Prof MLN Murthy, Prof S Sudarsana Sarma, Prof KE Devenathan, senior faculty members Prof J Ramakrishna, Prof GSR Krishnamurthy, Prof Rani Sadasiva Murthy, Prof Prahlad R Joshi and others took part.
