M. Dr. Sir Ganganatha Jha (b. 1871 & d. 1941) , a renowned International figure of Orientology and Indology.

Kshetresh Chandra Chattopadhyaya and others have been closely associated with this Research Institute . The institute is well known for its co-ordination of valuable Research Projects, collection of old Sanskrit manuscripts / rare books and their Publication . The manuscript-Library started with the rare collection of M.M. Dr. Sir Ganganatha Jha and then onwards many new collections have been acquired. At present, the Manuscript-Library contains more than 56475 paper-based as well as palm-leaf-based manuscripts on varied subjects and multiple scripts dating back to 13th to 15th Century A.D , and the library contains more than 59521 books.


A Journal of International repute on Sanskrit and Indological subjects is being published from this Institute since its inception where priority is given to the text-based studies (i.e. Textual criticism, Textual appreciation etc.) and valuable research related to manuscripts and manuscriptology. Besides, some small and rare manuscripts are published in the Journal as appendix under गैर्वाणवाणी-गौरव-ग्रन्थमाला series. It is worth-mentioning here that the books are generally published from this Campus under two streams i. e. Ganganatha Jha Kendriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha series as the main stream and the गैर्वाणवाणी-गौरव-ग्रन्थमाला series as the subordinate one. The specific common features of these publications under both the series are : most of them are either edited or critically edited with the help of the manuscripts available in the manuscript – library of Ganganath Jha Campus.


A number of research scholars are registered to carry out research work for the award of Vidyavaridhi (Ph.D.) degree of the Central Sanskrit University. The use of the Library and Manuscripts Section is not only confined to the staff and members but also open to all the scholars as reference library.


Besides guiding and teaching Research Scholars, all the members of academic staff pursue their own research works assigned to them by the University.
