Diploma in Sanskrit Language
Exploring the Richness of Telugu and Sanskrit Language & Literature
Objective
The main objective of this Diploma program is to lead students further into the depths of Sanskrit language and to give them the taste of joy in the works of great poets. This course will focus on the three sections of literature i.e., poetry, prose and drama. They will be encouraged to converse in Sanskrit. This would greatly multiply their cognition and sensitivities. The sophistication in Sanskrit grammar leaves the student overawed and thirsting for more. More study of Sanskrit only leads to more connection and integration with society.
