ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL SANSKRIT CONFERENCE (ISC)
The International Sanskrit Conference (ISC) stands as a significant initiative led by Maitreyi College (University of Delhi), with a dedicated mission to promote the Sanskrit language and the Indian Knowledge System. Under the esteemed guidance of Prof. Haritma Chopra, the Principal of Maitreyi College (University of Delhi), and Prof. Bal Ram Singh, the Director of the Institute of Advanced Sciences, USA, Dr. Pramod Kumar Singh, along with Dr. Umesh Kumar Singh, Dr. Awanindra Kumar Pandey, and Ms. Niharika Khurana, established ISC in 2020.
The primary objective of the ISC, operating in partnership with two steadfast organizations—the Institute of Advanced Sciences, USA, and the Council of Indic Studies (CISR), India—is to advance the study of Sanskrit on a global scale. Furthermore, the conference aspires to foster collaborations with various institutions worldwide for each successive event.
The inaugural International Sanskrit Conference convened under the theme “Contribution of Modern Poets in Sanskrit Literature (संस्कृत वाङ्गमय में अर्वाचीन कवियों का अवदान)” from November 28 to 30, 2020, and achieved resounding success. Approximately 80 high-quality research papers were presented by scholars from diverse regions of the country, subsequently published in book form by Vaaksudha Publication, a renowned national publishing house, with ISBN: 978-81-952826-5-4.
Building on the success of the inaugural event, the second International Sanskrit Conference, themed “Sanskrit Studies Across the World (संस्कृत का वैश्विक परिदृश्य),” was hosted on March 1st and 2nd, 2022, via the online platform Zoom. This event featured over 125 research papers presented by scholars across 25 sessions. The selected papers were published by the distinguished international publisher INADS PRESS, USA, with ISBN: 978-1-957310-06-0.
Continuing this momentum, the third International Sanskrit Conference took place from October 20 to 22, 2023, focusing on the theme “Relevance of Traditional Medicine Systems in the Modern Era (वर्तमानकाल में पारंपरिक चिकित्सा पद्धतियों की प्रासंगिकता).” About 100 research papers were presented by scholars from around the globe. These scholarly contributions will be published by INADS PRESS, USA, and launched during the upcoming fourth International Sanskrit Conference (ISC) to be held in August 2024.
During the third ISC, it was decided that henceforth, upcoming ISC conferences would be organized on the proud and auspicious occasion of World Sanskrit Day every year. Hence, the fourth International Sanskrit Conference is scheduled to be held from November 11 to 13, 2024, with the theme “Exploring Literary and Scientific Perspectives in Cosmology (सृष्टिविज्ञान विषयक साहित्यिक एवं वैज्ञानिक अन्वेषण)” to correlate with the New Education Policy.

संस्कृत विश्व की प्राचीनतम भाषा है। संस्कृत से अनेक भारतीय भाषाओं की उत्पत्ति हुई है, साथ ही इसका स्पष्ट प्रभाव विश्व की अनेक अन्य भाषाओं पर भी परिलक्षित होता है। संस्कृत के महत्व को न केवल भारतीय अपितु पाश्चात्य विद्वानों ने भी स्वीकार किया है। यही कारण है कि आज न केवल भारत में, वरन् विश्व के कई अन्य देशों में भी संस्कृत भाषा में अध्ययन, अध्यापन एवं शोधकार्य किया जा रहा है। भारत एशिया महाद्वीप का एक वहु सांस्कृतिक एवं वहुविविधता वाला अतीव रमणीय देश है। इसकी सभ्यता, एवं संस्कृति की एशियाई देशों में गहरी छाप दिखाई देती है। इसका श्रेय बहुधा संस्कृत भाषा को जाता है। एशिया में मुख्यतः 44 राष्ट्रों का परिगणन किया जाता है। जिसमें से कई देशों में संस्कृत का प्रचार-प्रसार चिरकाल से चला आ रहा है। वर्तमान में भी इन देशों में संस्कृत का पठन-पाठन एवं संस्कृत भाषा में समाहित वर्ण्यविषय का बहुधा प्रयोग एवं प्रचलन है। इन देशों में मुख्यतया इण्डोनेशिया, वियतनाम, थाईलैण्ड, म्यान्मार (बर्मा), नेपाल, भूटान, श्रीलंका, मालदीव, चीन, जापान, दक्षिण कोरिया इत्यादि हैं।
