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.

Please ban game applications immediately sir. How can we expect our youth to have values when they are allowed to waste their time in such games. Make it compulsory to pay Rs. 200 my monthly to the government when such game applications are downloaded. The government should own an application similar to tataplay or other service providers which requires recharge to download such games on Android. In that mention whoever is downloading these games will not be considered for any government/private jobs in future. Registration of aadhar number is compulsory. Government benefits should be withdrawn for such aadhar numbers. Occassionally call such numbers and let them know about this. Kids defraud many uneducated parents. A robo call from the government will do the job. Save our youth to save our tradition.

While there is not yet an accepted definition of TK at the international level, it can be said that:

TK in a general sense embraces the content of knowledge itself as well as traditional cultural expressions, including distinctive signs and symbols associated with TK.
TK in the narrow sense refers to knowledge as such, in particular the knowledge resulting from intellectual activity in a traditional context, and includes know-how, practices, skills, and innovations.
Traditional knowledge can be found in a wide variety of contexts, including: agricultural, scientific, technical, ecological and medicinal knowledge as well as biodiversity-related knowledge

60 plus learned people's must take their responsibility to educate, empower, elaborate and encourage for good deeds and devotion towards their relationships , surroundings and betterment of himself as well as youths. They must Co-ordinate and Co-operate for Collective Responsibilities. Unfortunately, they have build a gap themselves either due to their egoistic, political involvement and restricted nature and biasness for Nature and Natural resources. Might be good some where but in Rajasthan this is much lacking. This was nou during 1980's time.This absurd mindset arises since last 20 years. I am very much worried for our Culture and Heritages .

Bhaishri Narendra Modi (Prime Minster of India),
I am your sister from Ahmadabad, Gujarat. I am representing all the sisters of India when I am writing to you that we blessed you whole heatedly when the Hindu Succession Devolution of Act, 2005 was amended and our equal rights on ancestral property were recognized. However when they ask for their rights it leads to family conflicts. If sisters approach the courts for this, then court proceedings take many years while the land holders gain benefit from it. She also faces mental torture and social humiliation and exclusion. We wish that you would be empathetic to our cause and take appropriate steps; fast track course or any other laws that would help us to get rid of the delay in justice. We can also think of providing legal assistance to such woman. Either give us rights or take our hopes away. If all the woman feel the same please up vote this and also tag and share this so it can have proper reach.

Bharat has the unique Tradition of Knowledge Seeking, searching the truth behind the worldly existence, our ancestors have probed for ages piercing into the secrets of happenings on earth in relation to distant stars, to build a time tested knowledge, as astronomy, agriculture, health, environment, deriving subtle details of every manifestations from energy as Agni, to air water mud and vibration, akasha, plants animals, insects and humans, societies, culture, evolving ethics and spirituality, carried yug after yug constantly evolving better understanding, be it principles of democracy or diseases and medicine, political or religious philosophy, unfortunately for many hundred years especially for the last three centuries that wisdom has been hidden by the ignorance of invaders forcing their half knowledge, all vanities with guns and weapons on our Peace loving people, oblivious to the truth, people think it is just traditional, with out delving into its scientific details, to unravel
