Sadhvidya Pratishtanam institute aims to teach Sanskrit to 5,000 people by 2027

Though it is the language of the ancient scriptures, the number of people able to speak the language number only in the thousands, though a few villages like (Karnataka), Jhiri (Rajasthan) and Sasana (Odisha) have adopted it as a spoken language.

For the classes which are held in two batches every Saturday evening, the SVP has a faculty comprising former senior Sanskrit professors of University Prof Smt Dharma, Dr Pitambar Poudel and Dr Shankar Dutt Pandey, among others. On successful completion of the Sambhashanashala, students are also encouraged to join the SVP’s Samskrita Swadhyaya Mandala to continue to practice spoken Sanskrit.
