Diploma in Sanskrit Language
The main objective of this diploma program is to lead students further into the depths of Sanskrit language and to give them the taste of joy in the works of great poets. This program will focus on the three sections of literature, i.e., poetry, prose, and drama. They will be encouraged to converse in Sanskrit. The sophistication in Sanskrit grammar leaves the student overawed and thirsting for more. More study of Sanskrit only leads to more connection and integration with society.
