Several research Projects have been launched under financial assistance of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, a Deemed University under Ministry of H.R.D., Government of India. “They contribution of the Traditional Pandits of Bengal towards growth, nourishment, and development of Sanskrit Studies” is one of such projects.

We are thankful to the Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan, New Delhi, for their help which encourages us to work in the field.

In fact Sanskrit has occupied an important place is the cultural history of india for many centuries and for the achievement the contribution of the Traditional Pandits of Undivided Bengal cannot be ignored. Rather their contributions of Bengal’s Pandits in book form.
