Please find attached a report submitted by a committee to the Government of India regarding the future teaching of Sanskrit.  [Thanks to Shrinivasa Varakhedi on the BVP list.] This is an important document indicating the likely direction of the teaching of Sanskrit in Indian schools and colleges.  When I was a student in Pune schools during 1950s/60s, students in the Highschools were expected to study and pass examinations in four languages, namely Marathi, Hindi, English and Sanskrit.  However, after that the Govt of India decided to promote a so-called three language formula which made Sanskrit an optional subject in most non-Hindi speaking states.  In the Hindi-speaking states, there was place for Sanskrit within the three language formula.  This change in policy drastically reduced the number of schools offering Sanskrit in states like Maharashtra.  It remains to be seen how this new report submitted to the Govt of India will alter the teaching of Sanskrit.
