The aim of the Government would have been fully realised if these would have been in one campus with complete residential facilities. This would have also averted a great deal of wastage. Lastly, a word of warning. In their zeal to popularise the subject, scholars in the field should not make it very cheap At present it is generally seen that Prakrit education is stipendary. In such a system psudo students more interested in filling up their vacant hours, getting stipend and as a side issue, degrees also than in acquiring kno weedge infiltrate into the field.

This trend has to be ruthlessly stopped if we want Prakrit studies to be duly recogni. sed and valued in the society.
