Teaching-Learning
Teaching-learning is a two-way process, which benefits both the teacher and the student and its designed to enhance student's effectiveness and create opportunities within the education fields.To improve subject understanding we develop lesson plans which include Individual study, group discussion, topic discussion, and lectures. The department of Sanskrit also gives remedial and extra classes and engage them in project work to prepare students for their career.
Under the learning process, we encourage students for individual performance from which they learn the ability to articulate. We also prepare them for competitive exams by organizing quizzes and recitation competitions. Moreover, we take students' feedback which makes teaching-learning easier and more effective. Students are taught with different ways like research work, group discussion, role play etc.
Capacity Building
Teaching the grammar and literature of one of the most ancient languages is a very challenging task. Our students are adult learners and come from various backgrounds, needs, and interests. Teachers are responsible for keeping them engaged while teaching them the basics of grammar and literature to ensure their skills advances. Various factors are at work in making literature and grammar learning productive, meaningful, and fun.
Since the needs and interests of students vary, the study materials we provide make a significant difference. These materials should be relevant, informative, engaging and enjoyable, and should enable students to understand and talk about personal, social, academic, and public interest issues. The Sanskrit department has always aimed to accomplish these goals and provide students various written and audio-visual texts related to people's daily social lives.

We add visual and auditory means for teaching, and the variety keeps the students on their toes and more interested in what's going on in class.
We, teachers, set a timer at the beginning of the course to have a few minutes to talk to students about their study and the problems regarding the content/course/analysis etc.and give few minutes to discuss with classmates in the beginning of class and It helps students to stay focused once class begins because they have had a moment to socialize.
Moreover, Project-based learning is a method where students learn by examining real-life problems and challenges. Students can present their findings and ideas to the class in ways that appeal to them. They can create a video, do a presentation, or write a report.
