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.

★ MISSION : INFLATION - FYI & A ★ Mr. PM, you've got everything to remain as a PERFECT PRIME MINISTER except one thing which's, CONTROL ON INFLATION. If you REDUCE INFLATION & think about only MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE, you'll win every Election in future because MCP* is your VOTE BANK. So, by considering the needs of MCP, you need to REDUCE INFLATION and have to bring certain things into GST with Immediate effect i.e. PETROL else OPPOSITION PARTIES will defeat you on this ground. So, you need to COVER YOUR WEAK POINT by CONTROLLING THE INFLATION IMMEDIATELY. Remember, you said ONE NATION ONE TAX so why somethings are out of GST? You are required to put everything into GST (Only 1 Slab of 9% - Remove Other Slabs). Whatever TAX LOSS India will face, ADAANI AMBAANI WILL PAY OFF THE LOSS because they're the richest in India now and they have become richest in Pandemic Time. So, they'll have to pay the loss (willfully or forcefully, it's their choice). *MCP: Middle Class People - VOTE BANK

Avaya 30-40 % of youth don't know about their passion or their future career So, our education system has to take responsibility for this to give traditional knowledge to them and teach biographies of successful people. and add the Granth in their course

Traditional knowledge passed down through generations is a valuable and unique resource to all cultures and societies. How this knowledge can be used to improve development planning and implementation is becoming an increasingly important part of contemporary development practice. Some initiatives based on local, traditional and indigenous knowledge and the sustainable management of natural resources are to be take . These are small scale activities which don’t require large investments or sophisticated technology. Through engaging in activities such as these, the national and local capacity to safeguard intangible heritage and preserve the natural environment will be strengthened and the sustainable development of local communities promoted, which will contribute both towards the government’s efforts in poverty reduction and attainment of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
