KSDSU was established in 1961, with the scholar Umesh Mishra as its first Vice-Chancellor. The then Education Minister of unified Bihar, [[Satyendra Narayan Sinha]], announced the instigation of the university. [[Kameshwar Singh]] donated his ancestral [[Anand Bagh Palace]] to the government of Bihar as a university for the promotion of Sanskrit. Currently, this palace is the head office of the university.<ref>Umesh Mishra; author Govinda Jhā; at page 60</ref><br />
