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.

Sir it's welcome step to start the anti drug operation in uttar pradesh. Lsd heroin smack and other So many kinds of drugs including Adulterated liquors Should we baned and checked. stickily. It's really very nice step.
It would be pertinent to mention here that doctors also prescribing many narcotic drugs in case of treating neuro, heart and depression patients. My humble submission is that there should be no shortage and check on sale of such life saving drugs Which are under narcotic category on medical subscription by a qualified doctor at medical stores.
Drug addiction is a Major problem amongst the youth of India Therefore it should be strictly checked And drug mafia should be abolished completely from our country.

नमस्ते,
हमारे त्यौहार हमारी परंपरा को आगे बढ़ाने का सबसे बड़ा जरिया है। किंतु आधुनिक युग में पारंपरिक चीजों की जगह उपकरणों ने छीन ली है जो वास्तव में हमारी संस्कृति मिटा रहा है।
दिवाली पर पारंपरिक पोशाक, दियें, रंगोली, गणपति और दुर्गा पूजा में मिट्टी की मूरत और सजावट, नवरात्रि में नृत्य और गायकी सब छूटने लगे हैं जिसे वापस लाने के लिए सख्ती से कड़े कदम उठाने होंगे और अगर सरकार इसे बढ़ावा दे तो ये तेज़ी से पुनः स्थापित हो सकता है। साथ ही एक ही बार में कई तरह के प्रदूषण और अन्य दिक्कतें बहोत ज़्यादा कम हो जाएंगी।
कृपया इस पर विचार करें।

for protect our culture ,we have to work most on ethical or social field . by communication we have to deliver continuously good things for our culture which make them proud and also tell themm how english rules us in now day.
--physically we are sovereign but mentally we still walk on the way of english empire.
--they are not big, we make them and we are not small, we make us.
many youth are in wrong way and we have to make target youth because youth is most helpful for communication by media , influencers, film industry etc.
-- introducing practical knowledge for our culture not only theory.
--take help from ngo's,orphanage,old age home, television shows etc
these may be usefull for us for promoting our culture in our india.

Respected sir, need to improve facilities in government offices for public. Since most of the government services are online, but many are not aware of how it works. Qualified people manage, even though some special awareness program required or a team to promote how it works will be great help for everyone. From senior citizen to working professional.

बहुत पुराने समय की नहीं अपितु दो दशक पहले सभी संयुक्त परिवार में रहते पारिवारिक सदस्यों के आपसी सहमति से नित्य कार्य निर्धारित रहते
सभी को समयावधि में अपने कर्तव्य निर्वहन की स्वैच्छिक जिम्मेदारी रहतीं थी
दैनिक उपयोग की लगभग सभी सामग्री अपने ही विविध कार्यकलापों से उत्पादित होतीं थी आंशिक कभी बाज़ार का रुख करना पड़ता था
एकांकी परिवार के विघटन के साथ बहुत कुछ प्रभावित आजीविका हुई बेरोजगारी का स्वरूप उत्पन्न हुआ धीरे धीरे ये बीमारी
अत: प्रधान सेवक जी का संकल्प सभी के प्रयासों से ही प्रगति सम्भव है

हमारा भारत देश प्राचीन परंपरा से जुड़ी संस्कृति है हमारी संस्कृति में भाषा शैली और आयुर्वेद, शिल्पकला, काष्ठ कला यह सभी विभिन्न त्योहारों और मेलों में इन सभी कलाओं को देखने और समझने को देखने को मिलता रहा है लेकिन आज की वर्तमान आधुनिक युग में यह सभी उत्कृष्ट कलाएं विलुप्त होती जा रही है,इन सभी कलाओं को पुनर्जीवित करने के लिए संस्कृति पर्यटन और दर्शनीय स्थलों और आदिवासी क्षेत्रों के विकास के लिए सरकार को नवीन योजनाओं का समावेश करना चाहिए ताकि प्राचीन कलाओं का अस्तित्व वर्तमान और भविष्य में बना रहें हैं,
