Lucknow, Aug 27 - Teachers of Sanskrit are soon going to put online a module of courses that will enable anyone to log on to the internet and learn Sanskrit, the mother of most Indian languages.

'In its attempt to develop, propagate and encourage Sanskrit learning, the varsity and its various campuses have undertaken the e-tutorial project for learning Sanskrit online,' Sarvnarayan Jha, principal of the Lucknow campus of deemed university Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, told IANS in an interview.

'The project is being designed in a manner that would enable people to learn Sanskrit through self-study. The student need not have any Sanskrit background for the online course,' he added.

According to officials, the online course will be launched within two months.

'Initially, the course will focus on training people to frame sentences relating to daily activities that in turn would help them gain confidence to converse in Sanskrit,' said Jha.

According to him, the online course will also have a segment of books written by eminent Sanskrit authors.

'You normally do not have Sanskrit books on the internet, but we will have provisions for the same on our upcoming website,' Jha said.

Works of renowned scholars like Valmiki, Ved Vyas, Kalidas, Panini and others will be posted on the site that will also have rare manuscripts, he added.

Officials hope the website will contribute to the revival of Sanskrit and will also make it popular amongst masses.
