Modi urged everyone to learn and promote the ancient language. He has expressed confidence that the Sanskrit week, between August 19 and August 25, will generate new interest and enthusiasm and play an important role in the spread of the language.
World Sanskrit Day or Sanskrit Diwas, also known as Vishvasamskritadinam, is celebrated every year on Sawan Poornima to spread awareness, promote and revive the ancient India Language.
PM Modi had also sent his wishes to the linguists and scholars associated with the promotion and propagation of the language. He said that Sanskrit and its literature contains the knowledge related to all areas of our life.
The term Sanskrit is derived from the conjoining of the prefix ‘Sam’ meaning ‘Samyak’ which indicates ‘entirely’ and ‘krit’ indicates ‘done’. The day was first celebrated in 1969. Sanskrit has the largest vocabulary of about 102 arab 78 crores 50 lakh words and was declared Sanskrit as the second official language of Uttarakhand.
