The CoE-IKS is conducting संस्कृत-विहार as a part of its outreach activities for the second consecutive year. The aim is to harness incredible language learning abilities of children to teach them Sanskrit. Hour-long fun filled Sanskrit Sessions are conducted every Thursday for two batches of children aged 8 to 10 years - गोकुलम् (the batch of new entrants) and वृन्दावनम् (the batch of advanced learners). Entry to these sessions is free of cost. The sessions are conducted by a few parents of the participating children under the guidance of Smt. Jahnavi Katira, Smt. Shweta Rao and Smt. Pallavi Shukla (campus residents). More than 50 students are currently studying Sanskrit in these sessions.
