City-based Sudharma, which claims to be the only Sanskrit daily published in the country since 1970 from its office on 2nd cross, Ramachandra Agrahara in city, is now fighting for survival due to lack of funds.

K.V. Sampath Kumar, Editor of the newspaper which has a circulation of 3,000 copies with an annual subscription of Rs. 400 each, speaking to Star of Mysore this morning over phone, said that he was finding it very difficult to run the newspaper but minced no words in declaring that he would continue publishing the paper till it completes at least 50 years of service to Sanskrit, the mother of all languages.

Sampath Kumar said that he had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, seeking financial assistance, but he had not received any response and so is now seeking public to donate generously.
