Jammu, Aug 14: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana today stressed the need for a major initiative to ensure widespread reach of Sanskrit to masses, saying this is imperative for preserving and promoting the ancient language, culture and heritage.

“To understand the richness of the Indian culture and civilisation, knowledge of Sanskrit is paramount “, Devender Rana said while flagging of Sanskrit Shobhayatra and ‘Meri Mati Mera Desh Abhiyan’ organized by Chudamani Sanskrit Sanstha, Basholi and Shri Kailakh Jyotish Evam Vedic Sansthan Trust in collaboration with Central Sanskrit University, Ranbir Campus, Kote Bhalwal, Jammu, which started from Shri Raghunath Ji Temple and culminated at Parade Ground, Jammu.
