Meanwhile in Gujarat, demanding an independent "State Sanskrit Education Board", the state wing of Sanskrit Bharati has launched a campaign for the "development and revival" of the ancient language in Gujarat.

Sanskrit Bharati, the RSS-affiliated organisation dedicated to the language, has launched a "21-point" signature campaign and roped in general public and Sanskrit experts and educationists in each district.
