HP CM presides over 'Sanskrit Utkarsh Mahotsav'

HP CM presides over 'Sanskrit Utkarsh Mahotsav'

Shimla, Sep 4 (UNI) The State Government would soon provide TGT Sanskrit teachers benefits of the post, as being given to other TGTs in the State.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur announced this while presiding over the 'Sanskrit Utkarsh Mahotsav' organised under the joint aegis of Sanskrit Bharti Himachal Pradesh and the Department of Language Art and Culture at Sundernagar in Mandi district on Sunday.
Chief Minister said Himachal Pradesh was known as ‘Dev Bhoomi’ and it becomes the duty of this divine land to accord proper respect to ‘Dev Vani’. He said with this concept in mind, the State Government decided to accord second language status to Sanskrit. He said this decision of the State Government was opposed by several people, who even opposed the initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to launch the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign by terming it a futile exercise.
