Department of Sanskrit |

Sanskrit is the first and the oldest department of the College. It was an
outgrowth of the language faculty at Saraswathodyothini Sanskit School, the
seed of the present college. When the school was elevated to the status of
the college with the new name Central Sanskrit College with affiliation by
by the University, it automatically became a department imparting training
for Vidwan and Siromani titles roughly the equivalent to present graduate
courses. The Institute attracted students from far and wide. In due course
of time, the Central Sanskrit College became the hub of scholastic debates
and is reputed to have spawned as many as thirty five institutions dedicated
to the cause of Sanskrit. In 1931, the department was recognised as research
centre. Three year undergraduate programme was started in 1966 and two year
postgraduate programme in 1968. The University of Calicut recognised the
department as research centre in 1979.
