Established on October 15, 1970 on the recommendation of Sanskrit Commission, the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan was an autonomous organisation registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 for the development and promotion of Sanskrit across the country and abroad.
The institute was fully funded by the government and acted as an apex body for propagation and development of Sanskrit and assisted the erstwhile Ministry of Human Resource Development in formulating and implementing plans and schemes for development of Sanskrit studies.
On May 7, 2002, Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan and its constituent campuses were declared as deemed university and on March 16, 2020, the institute and two of its former campuses were established as Central Sanskrit Universities under the Central Sanskrit Universities Act 2020.
