It was decided to request the Managing Trustee of
Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry to spare the services of
Sri Narendra Arya for a period of at least 10days during the
Summer vaction to conduct a workshop on Sanskrit.
It was found that Sanskrit as a subject has been withdrawn
from some Integral Schools and at some schools it has been
introduced as optional subject. It is a painful fact. When The
Mother & Sri Aurbindo have said so many things about Sanskrit
how this can be an optional subject! It was therefore decided
that a separate letter may be issued to all schools, those have
withdrawn Sanskrit they must introduce Sanskrit from the next
academic session. Sanskrit must be taught upto standard-II
orally and from Std-IV through books. In each Sri Aurobindo
Integral Education Centres, Oriya, Sanskrit and English should
be made compulsory. Any other language may be taught as
optional subject. But in no case Sanskrit can be made optional.
Zonal co-ordinators have not reported the reasons of nonattendance
of schools in different activities of Trust of their
zones. They were requested to report as early as possible.

students of Std. VI, VII and District level students’ meet among
students of Std.IV & V.
It was also decided that no Zonal level or District level
Teachers’ or Students’ meet be conducted during State level
meets. Sri Parikshit Patnaik of Nayagarh proposed that each
Integral School should be made compulsory to attend all
activities of New Life Education Trust.
It was decided that Calender of the event of the state may
