Vice Chancellor Prof. Rai said that another main objective of this agreement is the effort of the university administration to promote the study of Sanskrit and Indian culture among the students of all the faculties. Sanskrit language is the basis of Indian culture and civilization. The texts like Vedas and Upanishads which are considered to be the identity of India are written in Sanskrit language and no one can understand their essence without knowing this language. With time, as the spread of Sanskrit decreased, the Vedas and Upanishads also disappeared from people's memory. The result was that the society is not getting the full benefit of the knowledge contained in these texts. 

Sanskrit literature have not been thoroughly evaluated within the context of current scientific tradition. "Given that some Sanskrit literature exist on areas of modern relevance, such as mathematics, astronomy, Ayurveda, architecture, diplomacy, or ethics, it is vital to investigate the topics of today. Promoting Sanskrit is consistent with the objective of the National Education Policy 2020, which emphasizes the dedication to instilling appreciation for Indian culture and history through technological innovation., VC Prof. Rai added.
