India’s first Global Conference on Manuscript Heritage will take place from September 11 to 13, 2025, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. Organised by the Ministry of Culture, this international event aims to protect and promote India’s vast manuscript legacy. The conference will feature over 500 delegates, including global scholars, and will include exhibitions, conservation demonstrations, and workshops. It also marks a symbolic tribute to Swami Vivekananda’s 1893 speech in Chicago by aligning the dates accordingly. A key highlight will be the release of the New Delhi Declaration on Manuscript Heritage, guiding global preservation and research efforts in ancient knowledge.
