'''Maharshi Sandipani Rashtriya Ved Vidya Pratishthan''' ('''MSRVVP'''), under the [[Ministry of Human Resource Development]], for the preservation, conservation and development of [[Vedas|Vedic Studies]] by establishing and supporting [[Gurukula|Ved Pathshala]]s.<ref name=msr1/><ref name=msr2/><ref name=msr3/> It has around 450 institutes across India where students spend seven years memorising the Vedas as well as studying subjects like Sanskrit, English, Maths and Social Science.<ref name=msr5/><br />
<br />
It is named after [[Sandipani]], [[guru]] of lord [[Krishna]].<br />

Based on the recommendation of Sanskrit experts and representatives of [[gurukul]]s and ved pathshalas, HRD Minister [[Smriti Irani]] announced in 2016 that there are plans to set up nation's first Vedic Education Board along the lines of [[Central Board of Secondary Education|CBSE]] under MSRVVP for teaching [[Vedas]] and [[Sanskrit]] along with modern subjects.<ref name=msr2>[https://www.newsx.com/national/29456-smriti-irani-plans-to-set-up-vedic-education-board Smriti Irani plans to set up Vedic Education Board?], Newsx, 22 May 2016.</ref><ref name=msr4>[http://indianexpress.com/article/education/education-ministry-vedic-education-board-smriti-irani-2813074/ HRD ministry plans Vedic education board on lines of CBSE], [[The Indian Express]], 21 May 2016.</ref><ref name=msr1/> [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]]] (RSS) and Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal have been pushing for the streamlining of nearly 5,000 gurukuls in the nation by creating an interchangeable system for enabling gurukul students to move to formal schooling, though some people have advocated it to a voluntary registration because the uniformity of curriculum would deprive gurukuls of their individual way of teaching.<ref name=msr3>[https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/rss-affiliates-call-for-streamlining-of-gurukuls/story-IbWyWw7Ua97ZbcYJ4fKerN.html RSS affiliates call for streamlining of Gurukuls].</ref> The idea was originally mooted by [[Ramdev|Baba Ramdev]], who offered to set up the private vedic education board under his organisation, which was rejected by the government.<ref name=msr3/><ref name=msr4/><br />
