About Sanganaka

The Sanskrit Computational Research Lab (Sanganaka) at IIT Kharagpur advances computational linguistics for Sanskrit—one of the world’s oldest and most structured languages. Led by Prof. Pawan Goyal, the lab explores intersections of AI, classical linguistics, and Indian knowledge systems.

Guided by the motto सा विद्या या विमुक्तये ("That is knowledge which liberates"), Sanganaka develops scalable, linguistically informed tools such as SanskritShala and DepNeCTI to bring Sanskrit into modern computational contexts.

Research spans word segmentation, morphological analysis, syntactic parsing, prose–poetry conversion, compound structure detection, and machine translation, with a focus on integrating Paninian grammar into NLP pipelines.

Through this work, the lab bridges traditional scholarship and modern computation—reviving ancient knowledge while building a digital future for Sanskrit.
