The panel headed by former CEC N Gopalaswami in its report said that there are Sanskrit Pathashalas across the country.
"Their traditional education has neither recognition nor they are aware of recognition issue. It is very necessary to protect traditional learning and make the learning duly recognized by an authority," the panel said as it recommended a Central Board of Veda and Sanskrit Secondary Education.
This will be an independent body under MHRD with appropriate authority, the panel said.
The committee has said NCERT may be asked to submit a status report within three months on the implementation of three language formula in secondary schools and two language formula in Higher Secondary Schools in all the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Boards.
As per the three language formula English, mother tongue and a third language is taught in schools.
