The Gyan Bharatam Portal, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, on 12th September 2025, is a landmark initiative to digitise, preserve, and provide public access to India’s vast manuscript heritage. It functions as a national digital repository enriched with AI-driven tools for search, translation, and annotation. Beyond preservation, it encourages research, publication, capacity building, and global collaborations, making ancient knowledge accessible worldwide. This initiative supports India’s vision of cultural revival and aligns with the National Education Policy 2020, while strengthening the idea of a Viksit Bharat by valuing knowledge traditions as a foundation of future progress. The launch coincided with the International Conference on “Reclaiming India’s Knowledge Legacy through Manuscript Heritage,” highlighting the theme of reviving India’s ancient wisdom in a modern digital format.
