PATNA: Former animal husbandry and fisheries minister Awadhesh Kumar Singh on Sunday called Sanskrit “beautiful” and urged students to start learning the language.
Singh was addressing the audience after inaugurating an annual seminar organized by Samagra Sanskrit Vikas Samiti in the city on Sunday.
The key speaker of the event, Shree Somnath Sanskrit University vice-chancellor (VC) Ark Nath Chaudhary, highlighted the need to understand Sanskrit in a better way.
“We fail to understand the importance of Sanskrit, but scholars abroad have taken up its study. Our students should also study and preserve ancient Indian texts and promote Sanskrit,” he said.
Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University VC Sarvanand Jha, Patna University’s retired professor R C Sinha, Allahabad University’s philosophy department head Jatashanker Mishra and Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan’s former examination controller Gopi Raman Mishr also attended the seminar.
