A panel, chaired by former CEC N Gopalaswami, in its report had earlier suggested that IITs may facilitate study of science and technology as reflected in Sanskrit literature along with inter-disciplinary study of Sanskrit and modern subjects.
“Accordingly, IITs have been requested to teach Sanskrit language especially with reference to study of works which contain scientific knowledge,” Irani had said.
The announcement had elicited sharp remarks from the Opposition, especially Congress and the left parties, who alleged that the BJP was slowly trying to accommodate RSS agenda.
