JAMMU, Feb 13: A delegation of Shri Kailakh Jyotish Avim Vedic Sansthan led by Dr CM Raina and Mahant Rohit Shastri today met Governor NN Vohra here at Raj Bhawan and put forward various issues and problem associated with Sanskrit language in the State.
The delegation demanded due share of Sanskrit scholars in employment opportunity in the State. Alleging that a large number of Sanskrit learned scholars didn’t get employment in the State due to official apathy of State Government, the delegation demanded that Sanskrit scholars be given separate scholarship and reservation quotas in university lectureship and teaching assistantship.
“Moreover, the scholars of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan (Deemed University ) Kot Bhalwal which is affiliated by MHRD Ministry of India, don’t find further scope in research and teaching field in J&K as the State Government is denying their affiliation and degree courses”, the delegation said.
The Governor assured the delegation that quick action will be taken on the issue by directing the concerned department to look into the matter.
