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.

its high time to make written records of our traditional knowledge available at local village levels otherwise it will disappear soon as the generation passes away and responsibility to record these traditional values, knowledge, tradition, medicines, etc can be done through gram panchayat level and on state level a book on these values can be printed so that people of other states and countries can able to know our traditions much better than before even our own youngster's are unaware of these traditions

हमारे भारत के गांवों की परंपरा और रहन सहन की बातें धीरे धीरे भले ही विलुप्त होती चली जा रही हो परंतु वह हमारे दिलों में धरोहर की तरह है। आधुनिक होते इस जंजाल में फंसते फंसते हमारी उलझनें हमे पुन: वहीं लौटने को प्रेरित करती हैं।हमने शहरों मे आकर भौतिकता के सभी उपकरण तो पा लिए ,परंतु प्रकृति और रिश्तों से नाता तोड़ बैठे।आज मनुष्य जिस बात के लिए सर्वाधिक अभाव ग्रस्त है वह है भीड़ में भी रह कर परिचय का अभाव।

Thanks, for such topics First to link society with Knowledge, Concept, Scientific temper , it is important that society must come forward to help those children who actually are in need and have no source of education. But to inculcate the values of traditional knowledge among our students, it equally important schools must be provide with nice infrastructure, buliding, equipment, and we'll motivated trs. Traditional knowledge must be gained if we link our curriculum with basic knowledge at primary level. If see the curriculum of Jandk board upto primary classes, it is unable to understand for child, because at class 3rd a child who is unable to read is supposed to read story level books ? how can we expect traditional value. Trs are bound with doucmentation only in school, how can they teach an child. In past decades under previous Govt,😀 who have provide Rets as trs it is not joining community but it is big distriction to school education
