Giving Sanskrit it's due: Recruitment of Sanskrit teachers a dead letter - SANGARSH 1/15/2022 10:31:40 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Jan 15: Stressing the need to give adequate weightage to traditional oriental learning, Nitan Sharma, President Sangarsh highlighted the lack of recruitment opportunities in the education sector of UT of J&K for Sanskrit teachers at secondary and college level. He stated that lack of employment opportunities for Sanskrit scholars will lead to the downfall of our own culture and civilization as the impetus to study this language will be lost by the forthcoming generations. Evidently, a lot of importance is given to other languages as ascertained from the notifications issued by recruitment agencies from time to time but no positive effort was made to engage/absorb eligible candidates from the field of Sanskrit in the past few years. At this juncture, it is pertinent to mention that Sanskrit comes from the word 'Sanskar'(culture) which has evolved over the years. Thus, it is important for us to recognise Sanskrit as a language of modernisation. Further, by recapturing ancient Indian wisdom, which is largely contained in Vedas and Upanishads, a sustainable solution to the current environmental cataclysm can be easily found. Even the classical literature manifests the spirit of universal brotherhood and empathy not only among human beings but even among all beings, of all species. Promoting such holistic understanding can definitely bring peace both within and outside and helps in establishing an egalitarian and just order, he informed. So the government needs to encourage the regular recruitment of Sanskrit teachers, which will ensure more student enrolment, and in later years, greater number of Sanskrit teachers, he added. Failure to do so might lead to a loss of our beautiful heritage. The members of Sangarsh requested the LG Manoj Sinha to take notice of this matter and protect this language by carrying out regular recruitments. Others who were present at the press conference included Dr. Rahul Sharma, Ishan Verma, Adv. Pardeep Raina, and Purvi Sharma.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
