Sanskrit is considered the most ancient language in Hinduism, having been utilised as a medium of communication and discourse by the Hindu Celestial Gods and later by the Indo-Aryans. Sanskrit is also utilised extensively in Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism.

Electronic resources are becoming increasingly vital, required, and immensely valuable to the academic community. Electronic Resources (E-Resources) have emerged swiftly as a result of enormous technological improvement, particularly in the twenty-first century, and traditional print resources are increasingly being displaced by E-resources. The usage of electronic resources in the library has altered its offerings. To meet the problems of the electronic world, librarians must acquire the most recent abilities and deliver the most current services. The librarian at an academic institution must provide a balanced and effective collection of information resources in the library.

People with eastern and religious backgrounds are typically believed to be oblivious of the latest technology. However, the facts are completely different, demonstrating the appeal of information technology among all individuals. Despite the availability of alternate sources of knowledge, libraries have retained their main position. The Internet became an alternative source for library patrons. E-journals and subject websites have gained popularity among Sanskrit students.

This study focuses on the status, user knowledge, and effective use of e-resources by Sanskrit students at MGKVP University. This study shows the Sanskrit student's knowledge of E-resources, as well as the problems they experience when utilising them.
