The main vision of our University is to promote the cultural ethos of India as embedded in Samskrit literature for the overall development of an individual and for the welfare of the society. Quality teaching through development of good curriculum, quality research, good support of research staff, academic activities and adequate extension through lectures, workshops and publications have been our predominant mission under the stewardship of Prof. Shrinivasa Varakhedi , Vice Chancellor I/c and Prof. M.K. Sridhar, Registrar. With the above mission in mind, the Karnataka Samskrit University will be organizing a National Conference on the theme ‘Role of Women as. reflected in Samskrit Literature’. National Conference Role of Women as reflected in Samskrit Literature Preamble Women have played a significant role at all levels i.e. family, society and nation since a long time in India. The legendary women of the Vedic period such as Apala and Sulabha, Gargi, Maitreyi, Katyayani of the Upanishadic period, Anasuya, Savitri and Damayanti of Puranic period, Sita, Shakuntala and Draupadi of the epic period, Sheela,Morula, Marika and Gangambika of the medieval period, Rani Chennamma of Kittur, Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi, Samyukta Pruthviraj and other heroic and patriotic ladies have played a significant role in upholding the everlasting values of India. In the process, some of the great ladies laid down their lives for a noble cause. Their heroic saga has been documented in Samskrit literature from Vedic to contemporary times. In the changing global scenario, it has become inevitable for Indian women to work and balance both professional and family life. When there is a hue and cry regarding the role of women in the modern Indian context, it is a right time to explore and bring out the noble attributes of women in ancient India. Hence, a National Seminar has been proposed by KSU on this theme: Role of Women as reflected in Samskrit Literature. The conference aims to bring a wide range of topics which reflect the theme from past and present. Presentations in Samskrit, English, Kannada are encouraged to do justice to the indigenous modes of understanding the theme.
