About Central Sanskrit University, New Delhi
Established as Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan on October 15, 1970, the institute acts as an autonomous organisation for the development and promotion of Sanskrit all over the country.
The university is fully funded by the Government of India. It functions as an apex body for propagation and development of Sanskrit and assists the Education Ministry in formulating and implementing various plans and schemes for the development of Sanskrit studies.
The Parliament in 2020 passed a bill to convert three Sanskrit universities – Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, New Delhi, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth, New Delhi, and Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth, Tirupati – into Central Sanskrit Universities.
Speaking after the passing of the bill, Union Education Minister (then HRD Minister) Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank' said these three universities will have more opportunities to spread the knowledge of Sanskrit language not only in India but also across the world in a better way.
