The Department of Sanskrit and Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), Canara College, Mangaluru organized a National level webinar – New Education Policy: Sanskrit in UG & PG Colleges on August 28, 2020.
Padmashree Dr. Chamu. Krishna Shastry, Trustee of Samskrit Promotion Foundation, New Delhi was the resource person. He said, “The Union Cabinet’s New Education Policy (NEP) recommends the establishment of an Indian Institute of Translation and Interpretation (IITI) while simultaneously placing a premium on Sanskrit and other Indian languages. The policy’s key element is that Sanskrit will be “mainstreamed” in school – including as one of the three language options in the three-language formula – and in higher education. The teaching and learning of Indian languages must be integrated into all levels of schooling and higher education. For languages to remain relevant and dynamic, a continual stream of high-quality education is required.”
C.A.M. Vaman Kamath, the Alternative Treasurer of Canara high school association was the Chief Guest. M. Ranganatha Bhat, the Honorary Secretary, Canara High School Association presided over the programme. Dr. Premalatha V, Principal of Canara College, welcomed the gathering. Ms. Dejamma the IQAC coordinator, and Head, Department of Commerce introduced the guests. Mr. Hardik P. Chauhan, IQAC coordinator, delivered the vote of thanks. Dr. Shantala Vishwas, Head, Department of Sanskrit, compered the programme.
