Gurugram: In an effort to promote Sanskrit, the state observes ‘Sanskrit Week’ in the government-managed schools and colleges.
In a letter issued for all district education officers earlier this week, the State Department of Education has notified that all government schools and colleges will arrange events in collaboration with Haryana Sanskrit Academy from August 19 to August 25.
For a week, the language session and history will be carried out.
The department will also start the YouTube channel for those interested in Sanskrit.
This step came after PM Narendra Modi urged all state governments to observe Sanskrit Day on August 22 and celebrate ‘Sanskrit Week’.
“Sunday Sanskrit is being held throughout the country to promote rich language and culture and inheritance related to it.
It is important to have knowledge of language which is an integral part of our history and culture,” said a senior education department official.
