SCHOLARS GATEWAY
KSRI has always been a centre for Research in Sanskrit and Indology. These activities are carried out through in-house Scholars and a society of associated Scholars. KSRI has associations with renowned doyens in these areas, who regularly visit KSRI and are invited frequently for lectures and discussion forums.
Invitation for Project Assistance and Sponsorship
KSRI has published books and articles based on various research projects. KSRI pursues special projects in its core areas, through research scholars, students and independently through its associates. There are also project ideas which can be discussed and formalized by sponsors and scholars. KSRI welcomes any organization interested in sponsoring any of the project ideas listed in the Projects & Studies section. It invites all interested persons and organizations to join with its scholars and pursue the passion.
TRADITIONAL SCHOLARS
Indian Scholars - Traditional Study
In the past, traditional scholars of great merit were given junior/senior research scholarships by the Govt. of India through the Central Sanskrit Board/Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan. Scholars under this scheme produced valuable texts on Sastras, Literature, Agamas, and Dramaturgy etc. Diverse categories of research - traditional, modern, inter-disciplinary etc. by Indian and foreign scholars, were officially started from 1983 within the campus as regular academic work. Besides there was an all-round improvement in other academic activities. Special mention has to be made about the efforts taken by the Institute in the field of Saiva and Vaishnava Agamic Studies. No other institution in South India except the concerned departments in the University of Madras has taken up these studies.
