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.

Dear PM Sir, I feel the system of closing the judiciary system for Summer vacation with so many crores of cases pending is not the ideal practice. Courts are not schools to be closed during Summer. No other public service office closes during Summer. In fact it's an emergency service like medical service. Having a few courts open for Summer is not right. I request you to discuss this issue with the concerned authorities and take a just and legitimate decision in this regard. It's not wise to follow blindly the age old tradition but follow and retain those which stand to logic. Dr. Madhavi Majety.

Traditional knowledge and intellectual property. Innovations based on traditional knowledge may benefit from patent,trademark, and geographical indication protection, or be protected as a trade secret or confidential information.How ever,traditional knowledge as such knowledge that has ancient roots and is often oral-is not protected by conventional intellectual property systems. 1. Defensive protection 2. positive protection

We have to create awareness in our people about the true value of our tradition. Starting from cartoons for children till serials for adults we have to make them filled with our tradition & values. If a film shows the value of traditions of our country, then it has to receive rebate in taxes. Main characters of the film should be encouraged to wear traditional dresses by providing rebate in taxes. & thereby promoting our tradition. Right from art, science, architecture, metallurgy, aerospace, aeronautics, Warfare,( Astras & shastras), Technology till Vedic knowledge. All have a traditional knowledge that prevails over now a days technology. This awareness should be made to public through podcasts. Vedic knowledge has multiple knowledge when read in multiple perspective. Research should be made on this and the awareness of same should reach the public through all type of media & podcasts. There are many scholars who have expertise in the traditional knowledge. Have a podcast from them
