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.

What about Traditional Justice work? Why we are facing issue in all government department also on CPGRAMS which is for grievances monitoring system in india but doesn't work. आदरणीय महोदय, मुझे कृप्या ये सुझाव दे दीजिये कि हमारे देश मे हमे ही इंसाफ क्यों नही मिल रहा 8 महीने से। कोई भी Online Offline Grievances Department क्यों नही काम करता। (1) देश का सबसे बड़ा Grievances portal Write to PM(pmiindia portal) पर मै बहुत बार complain कर चुका(TAT 45 days of Grievances resolution has been exceed) (2) CPGRAMS (Grievances monitoring portal) पर मै बहुत बार complain कर चुका(TAT 45 days of Grievances resolution has been exceed) (3) Samadhan Portal पर भी कोई समाधान नही मिला(TAT 45 days exceed) (4) Labour Department, Raipur & Korba Chhattisgarh से भी कोई न्याय नही मिला। (5) Labour Court, Chhattisgarh मे complain किये 8 महीने निकल गये बिना न्याय मिले। अपने देश मे न्याय और कार्यप्रणाली पर से इसलिये लोगों का भरोसा उठ जाता है। I have attached here file for your reference.

Since Sanskrit is the oldest language of India so this should be the primary subject till graduate or 12th like Hindi and English.... As the oldest book and scriptures are in Sanskrit and as being an Indian we should know to read, write and speak.. Regarding the traditional culture and practices, most of the things are vanishing day by day, so in schools at least a day in a week to be given to learn new things voluntary classes like pottery, craving, weaving, etc.. as this might generate or click some child to start something new and earn rather than involving in basic job to earn....

Give lesser efforts in learning the third language which include english also... and start learning their own language hindi, sanskrit etc. and organisations in which they work should also realise that the person can be said to be "uneducated" if he/she does not knew their religion and his/her national language and not on the basis of the third language "English ". Japanese people, chinese people does not ashamed off that they did not know the language other than their own regional language but why indians feel ashamed if they did not know the third language english it is not even our language but we feel very proud when we did not know our own language hindi or sanskrit why?

2. Compilation work is to be done at every Village Panchayat level and scientific validation to be done with the help of available manuscripts, texts and other relevant sources. Then collected data to be fetched in Central Govt website to enable the CSIR – NIScPR (National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research) to implement the National Initiative SVASTIK which will certainly help in conserving scientifically validated traditional practices and help in creating awareness as well as instilling confidence in citizens regarding the scientific values of our traditional knowledge and practices.

My view regarding implementation of this scheme is as under: 1. The role of Panchayati Raj Institutions in implementation of this scheme is very important. A committee should be formed in all Village Panchayat consisting of Academicians, Researchers, Students, Subject matter experts, NGOs, General public having interest in Traditional Knowledge and a government official. They should prepare a list of traditional activities of that Panchayat on the basis of available traditions being followed, available texts, manuscripts as well as stories from older people or transferred from older people. They should also try to find out tradition being followed earlier but know it is eroded.
