Lucknow, Nov 12 (IANS): The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is planning to promote the Sanskrit language in a big way.

The government is working on the modernization of the Sanskrit language schools and their upgradation.

According to Acharya Dr. Vachaspati Mishra, President of Uttar Pradesh Sanskrit Sansthan, the upgradation of Sanskrit schools is one of the priorities of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

He said that the state government has started issuing press releases in Sanskrit language also in order to make the language popular.
