In the 15th Century Bengal, around the lifetime of Shri Chaitanyadeva, NABADWIP, a place in the Nadia district of West Bengal, was a famous spot of academic interactions and activities. It was reckoned as the OXFORD of undivided Bengal in that period. The spirit of education was vibrant. The medium was SANSKRIT.

Very recently a few educational policy-makers of West Bengal lifted support from SANSKRIT and the most scientific classical language of the world began to be missed by the student community of West Bengal. PURBACHAL SANSKRITA PRACHAR PARISHAD was bom in 1996 during this critical period. The avowed target of the PARISAD was to revive SANSKRIT and to popularise it among the masses. Shree Ramesh Bhattacharyya, a well known educationist, took the initiative to establish the PARISAD with active support from eminent personalities and educationists like Shri Tarun Dutta, Ex-Chief Secretary to the Govt. of West Bengal, Justice Ajit Nayak of Calcutta High Court, Pandit Satyapada Bhattacharyya of Calcutta Govt. Sanskrit College, Dr. Dilip Kanjilal, Ex-D.P.L, Govt. of West Bengal, Dr. Sitanath Goswami of Jadavpur University, Prof. Himangshu Smrititirtha, Prof. Jagadish Tarkatirtha, Prof. Sri Mohan Tarka-Vedantatirtha, Dr. Sudhir Bera, Hon'bte former Chief Justice Sri Anadamaya Bhattacharya, Pt. Murari Moh Vedantaditirtha, Smt. Anuradha Bhattacharjee, Justice Bhagabati Prasad Bannerjee, Sri R.K.Handa, Sri Devendra Sukul & many others.
