NEW DELHI, OCT 14, 2025: MINISTRY of Minority Affairs, Government of India, is extending support to universities across the country for establishing Centres of Excellence dedicated to the promotion and preservation of heritage and classical languages under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK).

The event was graced by Minister for Higher Education, Government of Madhya Pradesh, Inder Singh Parmar  and Dr. Chandra Shekhar Kumar, Secretary, Ministry of Minority Affairs, along with Ram Singh, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Minority Affairs.

During his visit, Dr. Chandra Shekhar Kumar also undertook a field tour of the university campus and interacted with faculty members. He urged the university to develop the Centre for Jain Studies as a Centre of Global Excellence, integrating modern technology and digital tools for research, documentation, and dissemination. Emphasizing the role of technology, he highlighted the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in preserving, digitizing, and promoting heritage languages for wider academic and cultural engagement.
