The Yogi Adityanath government has taught simple Sanskrit language to more than 6,500 people in three months to mark its commitment to promote the language.
A total of 17,480 people were registered for the first level Sanskrit language teaching in the last three months. Of these, 6,434 people were educated through 132 online classes.
This training was given through virtual classes of one hour each day, for 20 days completely free of cost.
A spokesman of the state government said that while the missed call scheme of the Sanskrit institute is increasing the interest of the people towards Sanskrit, the enrolment number of Sanskrit learners has increased continuously.
Doctors, engineers, businessmen, students or any person in job profession can take free training to speak, read and learn Sanskrit.
Notably, the promotion of Sanskrit language in Uttar Pradesh is assuming new propositions and the Uttar Pradesh government is also trying to rope in foreigners to learn and study the Vedic language.
Dr Vachaspati Mishra, the President of UP Sanskrit Sansthan, had earlier stated that the students who want to study Sanskrit will also be imparted information about the moral values along with the knowledge of Sanskrit.
“It is a novel effort of the government to teach Sanskrit through free classes along with Hindi and English,” he said.
