language and literature is indispensible for comprehending the development of Hindi literature rightly and adequately.
Recognising the importance of Prāksta and Apabhraíśa languages in the cultural history of India, the Managing Committe of Digambara Jaina Atiśaya Kșetra, Śri Mahāviraji established Apabhraíśa Sāhitya Academy in 1988, which runs correspondence courses for teaching Prāksta and Apabhraíśa languages. The Academy has published books for the implementation of these courses. Books on Prāksta Grammar and Composition, Prāksta Exercises, Apabhraíśa Grammar and Composition, Apabhraíśa Exercises have been published for those desirous of learning Praksta and Apabhramśa languages through Hindi medium. For teaching Prāksta language to the English knowing people, our new publication, 'Praksta Exercise Book' which is the English translation of 'Prákyta Abhyasa Saurabha' in Hindi will facilitate the learning of Prāksta to the students of English language. 'Apabhraṁsa Grammar and Composition' and 'Prakrta Grammar and Composition' have already been published. 'Apabhraíśa Exercise Book’ is in the process of publication.
We offer our thanks to the learned researchers of the Saṁsthana (Institute) specially Smt. Shakuntala Jain and to M/s Jaipur Printers Pvt. Ltd. for organising the publication of the book.
