Varsity’s Sanskrit vlogging workshop to tap social media

Vice-chancellor Prof Madan Mohan Jha said, "This workshop will not only empower students technically but will also provide new opportunities for the promotion of the Sanskrit language. This initiative of the university aims to inspire students to be self-reliant and innovative, while integrating tradition and technology."At the workshop, students will get both theoretical and practical knowledge regarding vlogging.
