| In
Jaipur, there is a very good Sanskrit College. Jalore, Shrimal and Siddhpur, once seats of
learning, have also some remnants of Sanskritic learning. In Gujarat, Pathashalas are
being slowly eliminated but in Maharashtra there are quite a large number of them. I have
no doubt that these Pathashalas will come to be affiliated to the University. "For an All-India Sanskrit University, to start with, we must
have fifty lakhs of rupees for non-recurring expenditure and four to five lakhs of rupees
per annum for recurring expenditure. The Government of India and the Governments of
Saurashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Bharat and Bombay may be approached to contribute
substantially. |
