He referred to the Sanskrit scholar and teacher Rutger Courtenhorst from Ireland, Dr. Chirapat Prapandavidya and Dr. Kusuma Rakshamani from Thailand, Professor Boris Zakharin from Russia and Sydney Sanskrit School in Australia as international scholars and institutions teaching Sanskrit language to students. And also organize programs like Sanskrit Natak and Sanskrit Divas.

Shri Modi said, the efforts that have been made in recent times have brought a new awareness about Sanskrit. Now is the time to increase our efforts in this direction. It is the duty of all of us to cherish our heritage, to handle it, to give it to the new generation and future generations also have a right on it. Now is the time to increase everyone’s efforts for these works too.

Calling upon the countrymen, he said, if you know any such person engaged in such efforts, if you have any such information, then please share the information on social media with the hashtag ‘Celebrating Sanskrit’.
