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.
