This will increase the dialogue in the Sanskrit subject," said Dr Nitin Karmalkar, vice Chancellor, Savitribai Phule Pune University.
After spoken English and Marathi, now the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) will soon offer a course in spoken Sanskrit.
The certificate course which hopes to increase the understanding and popularity of the language will be offered by the university in partnership with the Shri Sadguru Group.
