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.

The system of education in India should be such that with that knowledge any person can earn his livelihood in any field or level, using his acquired knowledge, can raise his family, any Indian citizen should be able to make his own living. Stand on your feet. Today's education situation is such that even after studying BA and MA, people are not getting jobs. All that you have earned is fruitless, today computer education is also expensive, so the government should first of all provide certificates to those who are unemployed by giving them free computer education and get them employment. According to me, education is the one which teaches the way of living, makes a person strong from heart, computer education should be made compulsory for all in India and some work should be given in the hands of every person. Remain, this should be the ultimate duty of the government.

हमें किस तरह का केसा ज्ञान चाहिए यह भी जानना होगा भारत सजा हुआ है हीरे जवाहरात जैसे रत्नों से बस उन्हीं को पढ़ना हैं हर घर वैज्ञानिक होगा इतनी तगात ऑनलाइन ने दे दी विज्ञान ही मानव उड़ान के पंख समान हैं क्योंकि हमारे पास ज्योतिष रास्ता हैं और मानव के पास विज्ञान हल है

Sanskrit certification and sanskrit subject in schools will allow students and people be able to read the ancient scripts and understand them, in turn growing the interest in traditional practices and also help in bringing back almost lost language back to life.

Respected sir Traditional knowledge has always resulted in great output as per my view. So, I request plz include this knowledge in Education field first. All publishers should publish educational books on it and side by side facts and stories on it. From there, a man gain knowledge about it.As you have already started Atma Nirbhar Bharat where students are gaining skills from thee onwards they can also gain the technical traditional knowledge also. Traditional values too are being inculcating from the institution ,So every start starts from educational field. Secondly, but the teachers too had problems in putting their efforts as they being harassed on money issues. How come they will make their students fulfilling these knowledges if they are not at respect and rest. Teachers always have the respectable positions in society, they are the creator, So, where there is equality, there is a way, there is a tremendous a dvancement. That's all I want to state. Thanks.

Organized Religion is a frozen thought of man, out of which he builds Temples, Churches, Mosques. It has become a solace for fearful an opiate, for one is in sorrow. But God or Truth is beyond the thought and emotional demands. Parents and Teachers who recognize the psychological process which builds up fear and sorrow should be able to help younger child to observe and understand their own conflicts and trials. True religious education is to help the child to be intelligently aware to discern for him self the temporary and real to have a disinterested approach to life each day at home or school with serious thought Most parent's and teachers are afraid of discontent because it is disturbing all the forms of security.Good education, safe job, inheritance, marriage and consolation of religious dogmas. Elders knowing only too well many ways of blunting the children mind and heart proceed to make them dull. By impressing upon him the authority, tradition, and belief .

THE RIGHT KIND OF EDUCATION Let us consider significance of life why we are living and struggling.Because we have born intelegence inherited from our Grand Parents, parents which is highly awakened state of intuition which is true guide for our life. While we are being educated mearly to achieve distinction over others to get good jobs to be more efficient to have more wider dominance over others. Then our life wil be mere shallow and empty. By becoming Scientist, Professionals, Schools wedded to books or Specialists addicted to books of knowledge we shall be contributing to destruction and misery of world.Eg Automic bomb manufacturing for destruction of man kind by intelligence. So as long as education cultivate an integrated outlook of life it has very little significance. Education should bring about integration separate entity without it leads to series of conflicts and sorrows. For example the trained lawyers we petpuate litigation by their value .
