Sanskrit and Computer Science The Universal Gurukul (श्री तिमली संस्कृत पाठशाला) has introduced a unique program in which students are trained with holistic development approach. Gurukul is providing Sanskrit education with Computer Science and also conducts seminars on various topics on regular basis. Sanskrit research The Universal Gurukul has a Sanskrit Research Center. There have been suggestions to use Sanskrit as a metalanguage for knowledge representation in e.g. machine translation, and other areas of natural language processing because of its relatively high regular structure. This is due to Classical Sanskrit being a regularised, prescriptivist form abstracted from the much more complex and richer Vedic Sanskrit. </ref> Universal Gurukul Contact Centre First of its kind in Uttarakhand, The Universal Gurukul launched its contact centre in
