According to the minister, a total of 17 universities funded by the central government constitutes the Sanskrit language departments.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) informed the education ministry that 17 central universities have a special Sanskrit language department present. Furthermore, the government has also established three central universities with the purpose of teaching and conducting research in the ancient language. These three universities are namely Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri national Sanskrit University in New Delhi, National Sanskrit University in Tirupati and Central Sanskrit University in New Delhi.

UGC has also released grants and extended financial support to various universities for promoting and propagating Sanskrit language usage. These universities are spread across the country and located in Bihar, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. The financial support was provided by UGC during the XII plan period from 2012-2017 and extended up to March 31, 2020. Details of the same were provided by the education minister under the annexure attached to the document.
