About the Department

Sanskrit is a language without whose knowledge we cannot truly understand our own culture and heritage. It is the mother of several modern languages in India. Proficiency in Sanskrit helps us to get entry in a new world. At present different types of lore like History of Science and Medicine, Astrology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, Manuscriptology, Phonetics, Semantics, Lexicography etc. are popular in the field of study. The language Sanskrit takes a pivotal role to accelerate the practice of the above mentioned sciences. Simultaneously the language is also conducive for the study of literature, Value Education, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Ancient Indian History and Polity etc.

With the benison of renowned freedom fighter Dharanath Bhattacharya (Pandit Masay), the Department of Sanskrit began its long journey since the very inception of the college in the year of 1966. We are glad to say that though the department was started to offer Sanskrit as a general subject for two years B.A. Pass course, we now provide B.A. Honours course in Sanskrit. Since the year of 2017 the under graduate course is running under CBCS (Choice based credit system).
