Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the upliftment of Sanskrit is the upliftment of the nation and Indian culture.
It is unfortunate that the upliftment of Sanskrit which was supposed to happen could not take place in the country due to the rule of outsiders.
Sanskrit was disrespected. Our culture, which talks about Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and Sarva Kalyan, has been expressed in Sanskrit verses. Now the golden era of cultural upliftment has started in the country and we are able to serve Maa Sanskrit.
Chief Minister Chouhan was transferring the financial assistance amount to the Prachya Gurukuls affiliated to Maharishi Patanjali Sanskrit Sansthan from the auditoriuml of Samatva Bhavan located at CM’s residence today.
