Institution’s take on Sanskrit language
Sanskrit language is the oldest language in the world. The origin of Indian culture and rites is the Vedic literature. Learning Sanskrit language develops the mind of human body very fast, and since Adi and Pradhan are the causes of education, it is necessary for the advancement of education and especially for the propagation of Sanskrit, the mother tongue of Aryans, among the masses.
In a research on language, NASA has proved that Sanskrit is the most scientific language to send a message in space. It is a language in which the words are written exactly in the manner they are spoken or thought of. If talking computers become a reality in the future, Sanskrit would be the most useful language for them.

History
Shri Vidyamrut Varshini Pathshala was founded in 1910 by Lt. Shri Narayanbhai Joshi in Valsad by taking only 1 rupee from each house as donation for the pious work. The purpose to establish the pathshala was to promote Sanskrit language and Hindu culture in the society at large. The pathshala has been a public institution and up for the civil aid.
The first Sanskrit and ritual classes were started at the institution with an arrangement of the accommodation and meals for each student with the cooperation of local people. A library was also started at the institute at free of cost, in which, till this day, anyone can use it without any discrimination. To this day, many writers and scholars also visit the pathshala to comprehend and execute the researches on various topics.
