The Sanskrit language and literature are the basis of the social and cultural ethos of India. Literature forms the backbone of any social society. Rich Indian literature is mainly composed in the Sanskrit language. Sanskrit was the mother tongue in ancient India. There have been several popular writers such as Valmiki, Vedavyas, Bharat Muni, Kalidasa, Dandin, Banbhatt, Rajshekhar, Mammath and many others who have enriched the body of Sanskrit literature through their prolific writings.
Sanskrit Sahitya and Darshan department of Mahrshi Panini University comes under Veda, Vedanga and Sahitya faculty. The department was started in the year 17 July 2012. The sole purpose of its existence was to make the students aware of the various branches of Sanskrit literature, the philosophy contained within the texts and learn about the precious reservoir of traditional Indian Knowledge System contained in them. The department aims to educate the students and make them independent. We also wish to secure a respectable place for Sanskrit in the society.
