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.

"Duty Intelligence" (DI) as a subject in all pedagogy will initiate a Self Learning mechanism which will have a Self Learning Organic Initiative which can overshoot the Artificial Intelligence ( AI). Scientific communities have witnessed 22 senses of a Human working at once, naturally,way back in 1960's. Passing "Duty Intelligence" subject will entail a 360 degree growth of a mind. A supreme mindset will evolve among next 25 years . When Bharat sets its foot for 100 years , it will progress from Uttam Bharat to ParamBharat. "Duty Intelligence" is time tested since ages . " Duty meant decision making" by self when facing a dilemma. This Natural Intelligence according to its Senses developed overtime will lead us to " Peace Intelligence" . A ParamBharat attaining "Peace Intelligence" across all dimensions possible from Duty Intelligence. It was possible & will be possibile. Expansion of Natural Intel.

We have a beautiful traditional knowledge in our country. Our generation are not doing and not practising our traditions as well as a neat society also... they all are known but not following yet. The youngster are the next generations to maintain our society and wants to convey to our people's. we will start with young children's by their school subject like extra courses or additional learning skills and we motive the children's by e-contents and webinars to encourage our society. The reason behind for start with young children's is, our parents and elder people's are known about our cultures and traditional ways but still not fullfilled in manner that's why I suggest the young children's to motive... Thank you❤

India is a country with lots of traditional knowledge and we should use it well and spread to other, by creating more e-content, which can be also be understandable by the young children and to achieve this we can create lots of cartoon characters telling the stories about our own culture and heritage.,if we touching the youngest members of this nation we can easily say that our future is safe.

The Transmission of traditional knowledge across generations is fundamental to protecting and promoting indigenous people's cultures and identities and as well as the sustainability of livelihoods, resilience to human-made and natural disasters, and sustaining culturally appropriate economic development. Although much Traditional knowledge is passed on through walking country, talking with elders sharing songs, stories and dance, it is also closely linked to cultural objects.Traditional knowledge is also carried in digital records(e. g. e-books, catalogues, datasets etc) giving rise to issues of data sovereignty. 04-jan-2021aNine ways to support the rights of indigenous people. 1.Focus on the priorities 2.Include indigenous people in discussions of land use... 3.Apply the law to ensure land rights are protected... 4.Build public awareness.... 5.Recognise their role in conservation.... 6.Bridge the gap between policy and practice.

Respected PM Ji,#Tradition Indian tradition is different in different locations i mean regional & religious wise we celebrate every festival in different Models especially for Hindus UGADI starting year in South states very grand Holi North states beautiful Dewali through out India etc., It varies in celebrations but commonly so called as festivals but each festival gives different meanings to life & motivate attitude to future of our living system in our life's.Understanding reasons of festivals & tradition plays a big meaning role in festive celebrations one has to follow the Tradition great Shri Ramanavami we all perform Pujas to lord sri Rama & Sri Krishna ashtami lord sri krishna it's different celebrations took place we can't celebrate in one way tradition change to each festival but bhakti bhavana is same in all types of god's in all people who worships goddess in India.By Songs, By Communities by communications in all types of media & public meeting develop tradition in India.

Namaste, India is a country where knowledge exist from time immemorial.The justification of this statement is with ourselves and the knowledge our ancestors passed over to us in the for of stories,music, cultural,values,trading, clothing...of one's own. The modern world needs to see the depth of our traditional ways and knowledge which we have been following without knowing the reason and importance of it as we were never told or justified the nature of it, but we kept it alive.As it is said INDIA IS A TEMPLE OF KNOWLEDGE. A simple example can be given we eat with our hand activating our senses which aids in digestion and absorption.Burning camphor purifies the air and also clears our nasal passages,the infants are kept at home for minimum 6months as their immunity is not fully developed...the list goes on we just need to have an open mind and the right perspective. PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN. JAI HIND,🇮🇳
