On June 3, 2026, the Sanskrit dictionary project at the Centre of Indian Knowledge Systems–Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Sanskrit (IKS–EDS) at Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute celebrated its 50th anniversary. The project began with the publication of the first volume of An Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Sanskrit on Historical Principles in 1976, which has since become a critical reference for Sanskrit lexicography. The event was presided over by Chancellor professor Bhushan Patwardhan and attended by a diverse audience of scholars, faculty, and students. Professor Prasad Joshi discussed the evolution and scholarly significance of Sanskrit lexicography, while the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute showcased historic movable metal printing types used in the dictionary's early volumes. Additionally, the event featured the KoshaSHRI digital portal and new typesetting software developed by Riverhouse Technologies. Patwardhan highlighted the project as a monumental scholarly endeavor and advocated for the preservation and expansion of access to India's intellectual heritage through modern technology and digitization.
