Udaipur. The first phase of the Global Institute of Jainology and Prakrit Building, constructed under the Department of Jain Studies and Prakrit at Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Udaipur, was ceremoniously inaugurated by the Digambar Jain Global Mahasabha, Mumbai. The event was graced by Acharya Sunilsagar Maharaj, Acharya Punyasagar Maharaj, Muni Apurvasagar, and Muni Arpitsagar.

The ceremony was presided over by Prof. Sunita Mishra, Vice Chancellor of Mohanlal Sukhadia University, who emphasized the importance of preserving ancient Indian languages. She stated that the university will extend full support to the promotion and research of the Prakrit language and Jain studies. She called it a proud moment for both the university and the city of Udaipur.
Acharya Sunilsagar Maharaj, in his powerful address, remarked that while it takes intelligence to earn money, donating it requires courage — something rare and commendable. He applauded the donors who contributed to the building's construction and encouraged youth to serve the nation and society with patience and commitment.
Acharya Punyasagar Maharaj described Prakrit as the mother of many Indian languages and elaborated on its rich vocabulary, surpassing even Hindi and Sanskrit in word count. He highlighted the efforts made by Jain monks in preserving and enriching this language.
On this occasion, the book "Sachche Kahaon" authored by Acharya Sunilsagar Maharaj was also unveiled by the Governor.
National President Jamanalal Hapawat informed that the newly constructed building spans over 60,000 square feet, comprising the Vardhaman Sabha Mandap, Prakrit classrooms, Manuscript Hall, and a Keerti Stambh.
