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.
