New institutes, academic programmes on wish list of Cusat, Sanskrit varsity
An Institute for Sanskrit and Indigenous Heritages of South India and Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies and Innovation figure top among the budget wishes of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit and Cochin University of Science and Technology respectively.
The varsities remain hopeful that Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac would consider their infrastructure and academic requirements as the State Budget is expected to give a thrust for the higher education sector. “The proposed Institute for Sanskrit and Indigenous Heritages of South India will provide a platform for collaborative and interdisciplinary research. We hope that the Sanskrit University will be the hub of Sanskrit studies in the country with the setting up of the institute,” said Dharmarajan P.K, Vice Chancellor. The project cost is about ₹65 crore.
