The Jagadguru in His Sanskrit Anugraha Bhashanam said eventhough mastering a single Shastra involves intense study and take decades, students must strive for excellence in the few texts in their Shastra of specialization, taught during the degree programmes.

The Jagadguru also released the annual souvenir “Sharada” and 2 other books in Sanskrit (titled “Saaraswatam” and “shabdaan jaaneemahe”) published on the occasion. The Jagadguru invoked the Grace of Goddess Sharada to bless the students and lecturers of the campus in their efforts to gain and spread knowledge.
