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.

There is today a growing appreciation of the value of traditional knowledge. This knowledge is valuable not only to those who depend on it in their daily lives, but to modern industry and agriculture as well. Many widely used products, such as plant-based medicines, health products and cosmetics, are derived from traditional knowledge. Other valuable products based on traditional knowledge include agricultural and non-wood forest products as well as handicraft.
However, the contribution of indigenous peoples and local communities to the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity goes far beyond their role as natural resource managers. Their skills and techniques provide valuable information to the global community and a useful model for biodiversity policies. Furthermore, as on-site communities with extensive knowledge of local environments, indigenous peoples and local communities are most directly involved with conservation and sustainable use.

During elections, political parties release to the Public their manifesto. These manifestos more often contains promises which no party can accomplish because of financial constraints. Even though political parties themselves know of the constraints, they still promise them and gullible, ignorant voters are swayed. To put a check on this, it should be made mandatory that political parties should place their manifestos before our Election commission (EC). EC should study the manifestoes and ask the parties concerned as to how they proposed to fulfill their poll promises and their plan of action should be studied in detail. Upon satisfying the EC only, the election manifesto should be released to the public. This way many freebie promises can be averted.

श्री शिवाय नमस्तुभ
श्रीमान नरेंद्र मोदी जी मैं आपको प्रणाम करता हूं भगवान से आशा करता हूं आपका स्वास्थ्य ठीक रहे और आप तंदुरुस्त रहें
मेरी आपसे एक ही प्रार्थना है हम हिंदू धर्म के लोग हैं सनातन धर्म में जीव हत्या महापाप होता है लेकिन लोग अपने आप को हिंदू भी बोलते हैं सनाती भी बोलते हैं और जीव हत्या भी करते हैं अब उनको तो हम नहीं बदल सकते लेकिन जो बच्चे फिलहाल स्कूल में पढ़ रहे हैं उनको इंग्लिश में प्रार्थना करवाई जाती है महामृत्युंजय मंत्र का जाप नहीं होता गायत्री मंत्र का जाप नहीं होता और से बहुत ऐसे मंत्र है जो बच्चों को पढ़ाया जाए और उनके अंदर रुचि डाली जाए कि हमारा धर्म विश्व का सबसे बड़ा धर्म है तो हमें हमारे धर्म के लिए लड़ने की जरूरत ही नहीं है बच्चों को सिखाया जाए कि आप महामृत्युंजय मंत्र से क्या चीज प्राप्त कर सकते हो इस मंत्र के अंदर कितनी पावर है नामुमकिन को मुमकिन कर सकते हो हम सब कुछ जानते हुए भी अंजान बने रहते हैं मेरा मानना तो यह है कि महंगाई तो सरकार की तरह है कभी आएगी कभी जाएगी लेकिन संस्कार जब हम अपने बच्चों को देते हैं उनका फल आने वाली पीढ़ी में होगा।
जय महाकाल
