Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the International Conference on Gyan Bharatam in New Delhi this evening. He will also launch the Gyan Bharatam Portal, a dedicated digital platform to accelerate manuscript digitisation, preservation, and public access, and address the gathering on the occasion. 

 

 

The three-day conference began yesterday under the theme “Reclaiming India’s Knowledge Legacy through Manuscript Heritage”. The Conference has brought together leading scholars, conservationists, technologists and policy experts to deliberate on pathways for revitalising India’s unparalleled manuscript wealth and to place it at the heart of a global knowledge dialogue. It also includes an exhibition showcasing rare manuscripts and scholarly presentations on critical areas such as manuscript conservation, digitisation technologies, metadata standards, legal frameworks, cultural diplomacy, and decipherment of ancient scripts.
