18 years after announcement, 'scientific' Mantra institute remains without courses or faculty

Rajasthan Mantra Pratishthan, announced 18 years ago in 2008-09 budget, has not launched any academic courses or hired permanent faculty despite a Rs 5.5 crore building completed in 2019. The institute conducts religious recitations and offers puja services instead of its intended scientific research on mantras, contradicting its stated mission. Director says courses will begin in 2-3 months and faculty recruitment is underway, while a BJP MLA pledged to seek explanation from the university for the delays.
