It was also declared in the meeting that Sanskrit teaching will be extended to school going children in and around the campus at a highly subsidized fee. He said that this nominal cost is to add the feeling among the students that they are not doing this course for free.
This will instil a sense of pride and responsibility among the students as well as the guardians. He concluded his speech by stressing on how Sanskrit holds a plethora of knowledge within itself. Learning it will only add to the knowledge system of the learners.
