This project isn't just about dusty old books: it's about saving stories, science, and history in many languages, including Sanskrit, Persian, Tamil, and more.
With help from places like the Asiatic Society and University of Kashmir (plus dozens more on board), thousands of manuscripts have already been found!
This new survey builds on earlier efforts but takes things up a notch with tech and collaboration.
It's focused on preserving knowledge for future generations and expanding online access via the Gyan Bharatam portal and related digital platforms, with many digitized manuscripts made publicly viewable.
