ICCR DG Dinesh K Patnaik said, “Little Guru is a beautiful symbol of what we have offered to teach people worldwide. This app will help students, teachers, and others learn Sanskrit. Will also be able to learn Sanskrit in time too. “
Patnaik of Dinesh said, “We have decided to use the latest devices such as machine learning, AI, and gaming technologies. Gaming technologies help life to learn language easily.”
ICCR has in the past provided Sanskrit books, material for the promotion of Sanskrit. Under MEA or Ministry of External Affairs, this institute appoints teachers, professors in universities and institutes.
