Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the International Conference on Gyan Bharatam on Friday at approximately 4:30 pm at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. On this occasion, he will also launch the Gyan Bharatam Portal, a dedicated digital platform aimed at accelerating manuscript digitisation, preservation, and public access.
The three-day conference, set from September 11 to 13, is happening with the theme “Reclaiming India’s Knowledge Legacy through Manuscript Heritage.” It will gather top scholars, conservation experts, technology professionals, and policy makers to look into ways to bring back life to India’s rich collection of manuscripts and make them a key part of the worldwide conversation about knowledge.
The conference will feature an exhibition of rare manuscripts, alongside scholarly presentations covering critical areas such as manuscript conservation, digitisation technologies, metadata standards, legal frameworks, cultural diplomacy, and the decipherment of ancient scripts.
With the launch of the Gyan Bharatam Portal, the government aims to make India’s rich manuscript heritage more accessible to the public, scholars, and researchers worldwide, while promoting the preservation of these invaluable cultural treasures.
