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.

Respected Sir,

As our nation is growing in all aspects gradually, except few important areas in which still our public struggling a lot. One main example area I would like to mention here that is in all states district courts principle senior civil and other civil cases are still running more than a period of 3 to 10 years. All judges are getting a government salary should work hard to serve their service by keeping some dates schedule of within 3 years to close the civil cases. It will support public to use their belonging properties live peacefully. Requesting all concerned department to pass the circular regarding the fixing of period limit for all types of civil cases. Please take the action immediately...

★ 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

We should first to be aware of our traditional knowledge, how we can obtain as well as how we can spread out.
We need a very deep sense, need more reliability in our religious faiths, to have internal trust, to bring friends, family members and our society in confidence and to encourage them to know more about our traditional heritage.
Thanks

Respect to sir there are many many shortcomings in newr Education policy. Sir initiation of the semester system in graduation 1st year 2nd year 3rd year is totally irrelevant. Provision of opting the science subject for a humanity student is also totally Irrelevant. 4 times exam in a year and the 2 times practical Examination. Besides this there are so many extra curricular activities are also being made compulsory including theProvision of skill development. When a large force of un employed candidates is there then how a 2 month skill development course would remove the unemployment. Evaluation will would be of very poor quality also. Immediate review is essential In higher education To remove the semester system immediately. Semester system may be adopted at pg level. How we can expect to To make a doctor from a stream of mix qualification Having the degree in subject of history geography and chemistry. This seems very Ridiculous.

Sir, Ph.D. deree is being given 30 percent extra weightage. in Recruitment on Post Office Assistant professor in University campus. This is the greatest source of CorruptionIt as they select their students only who did ph .D under their Supervision Sir these candidates never qualify NET exam that is the essential qualification for the recruitment on the Post Of Assistant Profess
Sir they Should we give weightage to recruitment them as a scientist but not in educational institution In universities and colleges professors are required the whole knowledge of a subject not a topic only Sir why these Ph.D holders could not Qualify the net examination why the remains fell several Attempts. Kindly look into the matter as Ph D holders should be given no vacancies at all in universities and colleges For recruitment on Post Assistt Professor suitable candidates who are NET qualified are totally unemployed today they are otherwise the best suitable candidates for post of Ast Prof.

Our traditions are all based on experiences of our ancestors and solid facts. Every tradition has a background behind it. I would like to describe a few simple steps.
Starting with daily routine, in the morning, to drink water before brushing and then after taking bath, Prayer of God, giving water to Tulsi Plant and Sun God etc. During the day, no water after meals, and always "sit and drink water". Morning walk and exercise are also important steps. These activities, in the long way, have a very good effect on health and keep us away from diseases.
In the modern age, diseases are growing faster than facilities due to misuse of technology.
Everybody should follow the traditional steps and save oneself from the disastrous diseases.
