India has a rich legacy of practices and knowledge touching different spheres of life and a scientific heritage traversing various Science & Technology (S&T) domains. The traditional knowledge of India is available in various forms such as classical texts, manuscripts and/or as oral communication that has been passed on over thousands of years. This valuable knowledge is often part of our daily practices as well. Some of the traditional practices are livelihood means of the concerned knowledge holders. Our traditional practices exist in synergy between human needs and nature, often balancing resources and requirements in a local context. However, with time, India’s Traditional Knowledge Systems are eroding rapidly, and the nation has also been witnessing erosion in people’s faith towards our traditional knowledge. A grave concern is the mindless attitude of some to mimic non-Indian cultures and disdain for our traditions. It’s important to recognize that traditional heritage is an integral part of any country’s development and progression. This calls for necessary attention and action from the concerned stakeholders in the country to build further on our scientific inheritance. Only a well-informed and balanced society can drive the advancement of the country.

Under the visionary leadership of our Hon’ble Prime Minister and President, CSIR Society, Shri Narendra Modi, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is spearheading the efforts to collaborate with the relevant partners from across the country and implement the national initiative SVASTIK (Scientifically Validated Societal Traditional Knowledge) for communicating India’s traditional knowledge to the society. CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (CSIR-NIScPR) is the nodal organization to implement this national initiative.

The prime mission of the initiative is to conserve scientifically validated traditional practices, and instil confidence in citizens regarding the scientific values of our traditional knowledge/practices.

We invite the suggestions of academicians, researchers, subject-matter experts, students, NGOs, and the public on how to instil confidence in society about our traditional knowledge and practices. This will help us in our mission to inculcate a scientific temper and instil confidence in citizens by stimulating the Science-Scientist-Society connect towards our traditional knowledge and practices.

हमारा देश भारत एक अनूठी सांस्कृतिक, कला और परंपराओं का देश है। यह कला और संस्कृति प्राचीन काल से हमारी परंपरा रही है, जो आज तक प्रचलन में हैं। दुनिया के अन्य देशों से आने वाले पर्यटक हमारी कला और संस्कृति को देखकर बहुत ही मोहित होते हैं। हम सभी अनेकों त्योहारों और कलाओं को एकजुट होकर मनाते हैं। हम भारत की कला संस्कृति से थोड़े अनभिज्ञ जरूर है, पर इन्हीं त्योहारों और उनके मनाने के तरीकों से हमारी संस्कृति और कला का पता चलता है।

Traditional knowledge refers to the knowledge and practices of indigenous and local communities that have developed over centuries and are traditionally transferred from elders to young people in concrete working and life situations. Traditional knowledge is dynamic and it can be transferred and expressed orally, through stories, legends, rituals, songs and laws. It can also be preserved in artifacts handed from father to son or mother to daughter.

Sir, I have a very serious matter to discuss with you it about our history. In our history there are many legendary warriors and legendary wars but in the textbooks of different states it is showing as the outside us who came to our country and living in our country. For example Tipu Sultan is known as a brave and great warrior in my social science textbooks but there is no place for Prithviraj Chauhan who killed his enemy with an arrow and an bow this is our problem if we want to study the real history of our country we want to become a archaeologist and we want to conduct research and studies on our history but it will take us years to find it. Everyday I pray that someone want to find the real history of our country

Dear Sir/Madam/Readers We are talking about 21st Century and we have surely started steps towards new age India but still we are depending on many instruments and equipment’s which are regulatory compliant and accordingly we carry out the job work for western countries, no doubt we have business and economy factors associated with it, but can we think of products engineered in India patented in India and the in Rest of the world and mark our presence as a regulated supplier , majorly this would help us to bring overall cost down and sustainable growth with a win win situation for both India and partnering countries.

In my opinion government should establish a institution or launch any program through which we can study or came to know that how our ancestors were able to identify and predict the weather too early through natural signs, by movement of ants and many such other which are now endangered or totally diminished from the society and culture.So I suggest to work on this.
