External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar today inaugurated the SAMHiTA Conference on South Asia’s Manuscript Traditions and Mathematical Contributions in New Delhi.
Speaking at the occasion, Dr Jaishankar highlighted that as the nation intensifies the process of engagement with the world, there is a really compelling argument for greater Atmanirbharta and its intellectual leadership is particularly critical to that endeavour.
SAMHiTA is an initiative to create a relational database and digital archive of Indian and broadly South Asian manuscripts housed in libraries, archives and other repositories outside India, through collaboration with institutional partners.
