DEHRADUN, INDIA, June 10, 2010: To give more prominence to Sanskrit, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank today sanctioned the creation of 113 posts on government grant basis in 11 non-government Sanskrit institutions in the state. The posts include 11 principals, 39 lecturers, 30 assistant teachers, 11 clerks and 22 peons.

As the government has already extended the benefits of sixth pay commission to the teaching as well as non-teaching staff of Sanskrit University, the new recruits at the recognized institutions would also get the benefits of the pay commission, an official release said today.

The state government has already accorded the status of second official language to Sanskrit.
