अतिकुपिता अपि सुजना योगेन मृदूभवन्ति न तु नीचाः।
हेम्नः कठिनस्यापि द्रवणोपायोऽस्ति न तृणानाम्॥
A good man's exceeding anger can be calmed by some means, but not so of a mean person. Though hard, gold can be melted but not grass.

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.

Much research work is also carried out by doctorial students and project investigators to whom KSRI acts as a Scholars Gateway.

KSRI has published books and articles based on these research projects; in respective chapters, the research work completed, on-going and also project ideas are listed. KSRI welcomes any organization interested in sponsoring any of the project ideas listed and also individuals who would like to pursue such specific projects.

Invitation

KSRI all the time pursues special projects in its core areas, through research scholars, students and independently tough its associates. There are all time projects being pursued and projects on the anvil. There are also project ideas which can be discussed and formalized by sponsors and scholars. KSRI invites all interested persons and organizations to join together with its scholars and pursue the passion. Below are the information on Scholars' Gateway, Special projects and studies and projects for discussions.
