Kanhaiyalal Manik Lal Munshi Hindi and Language Science School (KMI) Prof. Pradeep Sridhar told that KMI, a university institute, has 1436 rare literature and heritage. The work of preserving them has been given to the agency for chemical cleaning of the original Sri Guru Granth Sahib kept in the Golden Temple, Amritsar.
