The Samskrit Promotion Foundation (SPF) is a not-for-profit organization committed to the revitalization and promotion of Samskrit (Sanskrit) as a con Read moretemporary and living language. Founded with the vision of integrating Samskrit into mainstream education and culture, the foundation works in alignment with the goals of the Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti and the National Education Policy (NEP). It partners with schools, colleges, universities, and cultural institutions across India to make Samskrit learning accessible, engaging, and relevant. SPF's initiatives span curriculum design, teacher training, digital learning tools, and cultural outreach programs that bring Samskrit to learners of all ages. It emphasizes the utility of Samskrit not only as a classical language but also as a tool for logical thinking, cultural awareness, and national identity. With projects like “Samskrit through Subhashitas,” audio-visual content, and mobile applications, the foundation aims to demystify Samskrit and integrate it seamlessly into daily life and modern pedagogy. Through its collaborative model, SPF empowers educators, enriches classrooms, and inspires a new generation of learners to embrace Samskrit with pride and purpose. Rooted in heritage yet forward-looking in its methods, the foundation envisions a culturally enriched India where Samskrit thrives as a language of knowledge, connection, and continuity.

Paricharcha
The Paricharcha program is a monthly gathering organised by the Samskrit Promotion Foundation in collaboration with Samskrita Bharati, aimed at advanced Sanskrit scholars, particularly those engaged in M.Phil. and Ph.D. research. It provides a dynamic platform for discussing Sanskrit research, sharing experiences, and testing contemporary ideas. The forum brings together thought leaders, policymakers, professors, and guides to exchange strategic insights and lend support to emerging scholars. Participants—ranging from doctoral students to educators and knowledge-seekers—present their work, receive feedback, challenge assumptions, and enrich their scholarly pursuits in Sanskrit studies.
