Experts’ Opinions

I am glad to know that the Gujarati Vishwakosh is being so prepared as to be equally useful to all common readers as well as to experts. In the context of the explosion of knowledge that is presently taking place in the world along with the nuclear explosions and population explosion, such publications assume special significance.

As the work of preparing an encyclopaedia in Marathi and Gujarati is complementary to each other, the Gujarati Vishwakosh should also receive similar assistance from the State as is being provided by the Maharashtra Government to the Marathi Vishwakosh in terms of expertise, library and reading room facility and also adequate financial assistance.

It is such a stupendous and path-breaking work involving knowledge, learning, perseverance and authenticity as well as intricate and exhaustive planning that most others having physical and mental strength may have to drop out in the midst of process. Looking to the material that is included in its volumes, Gujarat would take pride in the efforts of the chief editor Dr. Dhirubhai Thaker.

Every Gujarati family must possess the volumes of the Gujarati Vishwakosh. It is an important source from which the future generations will draw authentic information and knowledge about the Gujarati language, the rich heritage of the culture of Gujarat and its academic background.
