“The purpose of this initiative is that the way people learn English and Urdu languages and use it in their day-to-day lives, Sanskrit can be learnt in the same way,” he remarked, adding that the course was being designed with the purpose of creating a passion for learning Sanskrit.
Sisodia said the government was going to constitute 'Sahitya Charcha Clubs' across the city to promote Hindi in the national capital. “At these clubs people can gather and discuss the text and prose produced by Hindi litterateurs,” he said.
