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.

Inorder to increase the confidence of traditional knowledge in society,the people must be constantly heard of the topic,since everyone are active on social media , launching a youtube channel and fb,insta page and constantly posting images or videos of our forgotten culture ,and letting people know the advantages of it,would really help . Ans also advertising it on tv maybe done.

Traditional practice is the total sum of knowledge, creativity, skills, and some practices being practice based on theories, beliefs, and most importantly experiences that are indigenous to different teachings, cultures, and traditions. Education is vital to the pace of the individual, social, and growth of the country and teaching methodologies has changed drastically over the years.  The traditional approach in education has successfully been delivered through recitation and memorization of concepts and theories and effective teaching plays a crucial role in helping the children grow from one level to another in a more socialistic way to approach life.  In education, effectiveness does not mean being right, perfect, or giving good service to society or family, but bringing the best in students. The traditional or conventional methods are the most common practice in schools and colleges. The old-fashioned way of teaching-learning is all about class period like students would sit sile

जनता को ग़लत बयानी के बरगलाने पर कठोर सजा का प्रावधान हो। ग़लत गवाह पेश करके मुकदमे कायम कराकर निर्दोषों को अनावश्यक तरीके से परेशान किया जाता है इसके गवाहों की पूरी जांच के बाद ही गवाही मान्य हो। लेखपाल और पुलिस विभाग में घूसखोरी बन्द कैसे हो इसके लिए भी कदम उठाने की जरुरत है।

Amendments in State & UT Shops & Establishment Acts: States & UTs Shops & Establishments Acts can be amended to allow Shops , Stores, Super Markets - Hyper Markets, Malls of any kind of area 2500 Sq Feet and more to display Handlooms Handicrafts of that particular area in a separate cabinet . Owners or Managers of these establishments can make buy back / replacement agreements with societies of Handlooms & Handicrafts to make the deal more remunerative to both parties. Lalitha Jewellery exhibition of Tanjaore paintings in their Hyderabad Begumpet Store very much appreciative. The amendment will help millions of families who are surviving on their art from several years and also help employment & livelihood generation of their future generations.
