Abstract
Description
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 11th June 2024 between Central Sanskrit University, New Delhi, and Dharohar Charitable Foundation Ltd., Udaipur, to digitally preserve and catalogue Sanskrit manuscripts. Under this agreement, Dharohar will create descriptive catalogue entries and make high-quality digital images of CSU’s manuscripts available to scholars via its online platform, www.sangrah.org. All services by Dharohar will be offered free of cost to CSU, while CSU retains full ownership and copyright over its manuscript images. Dharohar will enable global access with watermarked downloads and support sales transactions on CSU's behalf. The collaboration ensures secure storage, metadata organization, periodic progress reporting, and respect for intellectual property rights. Both institutions will appoint coordinators for project execution. This partnership aims to enrich Sanskrit research by providing authenticated, accessible resources to scholars worldwide, while ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and transparency in operations and financial transactions.
