India has a rich legacy of practices and knowledge touching different spheres of life and a scientific heritage traversing various Science & Technology (S&T) domains. The traditional knowledge of India is available in various forms such as classical texts, manuscripts and/or as oral communication that has been passed on over thousands of years. This valuable knowledge is often part of our daily practices as well. Some of the traditional practices are livelihood means of the concerned knowledge holders. Our traditional practices exist in synergy between human needs and nature, often balancing resources and requirements in a local context. However, with time, India’s Traditional Knowledge Systems are eroding rapidly, and the nation has also been witnessing erosion in people’s faith towards our traditional knowledge. A grave concern is the mindless attitude of some to mimic non-Indian cultures and disdain for our traditions. It’s important to recognize that traditional heritage is an integral part of any country’s development and progression. This calls for necessary attention and action from the concerned stakeholders in the country to build further on our scientific inheritance. Only a well-informed and balanced society can drive the advancement of the country.

Under the visionary leadership of our Hon’ble Prime Minister and President, CSIR Society, Shri Narendra Modi, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is spearheading the efforts to collaborate with the relevant partners from across the country and implement the national initiative SVASTIK (Scientifically Validated Societal Traditional Knowledge) for communicating India’s traditional knowledge to the society. CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research (CSIR-NIScPR) is the nodal organization to implement this national initiative.

The prime mission of the initiative is to conserve scientifically validated traditional practices, and instil confidence in citizens regarding the scientific values of our traditional knowledge/practices.

We invite the suggestions of academicians, researchers, subject-matter experts, students, NGOs, and the public on how to instil confidence in society about our traditional knowledge and practices. This will help us in our mission to inculcate a scientific temper and instil confidence in citizens by stimulating the Science-Scientist-Society connect towards our traditional knowledge and practices.

The important characteristics of Indian Culture are civilized communication, beliefs, values, etiquette, and rituals. India is well known for its ‘Unity in Diversity’ across the world. That means India is a diverse nation where many religious people live together peacefully having their own different cultures. Festivals play an important role in Indian culture and tradition. People celebrate variety of festivals in India. Popular festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, Navratri, Janmashtami, Shivratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Eid-ul-Fitr, Bakrid, and many more festivals are celebrated with great devotion. Other than this, many harvest festivals like Makar Sankranti, Pongal, etc. are celebrated with happiness all over India. India is a country of diversity. It's the only country in world where so many people of different religion lives.

भारतीय संस्कृति विश्व की सबसे प्राचीन संस्कृति है जो लगभग 5,000 हजार वर्ष पुरानी है। विश्व की पहली और महान संस्कृति के रुप में भारतीय संस्कृति को माना जाता है। “विविधता में एकता” का कथन यहाँ पर आम है अर्थात् भारत एक विविधतापूर्ण देश है जहाँ विभिन्न धर्मों के लोग अपनी संस्कृति और परंपरा के साथ शांतिपूर्णं तरीके से एक साथ रहते हैं। विभिन्न धर्मों के लोगों की अपनी भाषा, खाने की आदत, रीति-रिवाज़ आदि अलग हैं फिर भी वो एकता के साथ रहते हैं। पूरे विश्व भर में भारतीय संस्कृति बहुत प्रसिद्ध है। विश्व के बहुत रोचक और प्राचीन संस्कृति के रुप में इसको देखा जाता है।

भारत की संस्कृति बहुआयामी है जिसमें भारत का महान इतिहास, विलक्षण भूगोल और सिन्धु घाटी की सभ्यता के दौरान बनी और आगे चलकर वैदिक युग में विकसित हुई, बौद्ध धर्म एवं स्वर्ण युग की शुरुआत और उसके अस्तगमन के साथ फली-फूली अपनी खुद की प्राचीन विरासत शामिल हैं। इसके साथ ही पड़ोसी देशों के रिवाज़, परम्पराओं और विचारों का भी इसमें समावेश है। पिछली पाँच सहस्राब्दियों से अधिक समय से भारत के रीति-रिवाज़, भाषाएँ, प्रथाएँ और परम्पराएँ इसके एक-दूसरे से परस्पर सम्बंधों में महान विविधताओं का एक अद्वितीय उदाहरण देती हैं।

भारत की एक समृद्ध संस्कृति है और यही हमारी पहचान बन गई है। चाहे वह धर्म हो, कला हो, बौद्धिक उपलब्धियाँ हों या प्रदर्शन कलाएँ हों, इसने हमें एक रंगीन, समृद्ध और विविध राष्ट्र बनाया है। भारतीय संस्कृति और परंपरा निबंध भारत में पालन की जाने वाली जीवंत संस्कृतियों और परंपराओं के लिए एक दिशानिर्देश है।

भारत में विभिन्न राज्यों के अनुसार उनका पहनावा अलग तरह का होता है। उनके द्वारा पहने जाने वाले कपड़े उनके राज्य की संस्कृति और परंपराओं को दर्शाते हैं। लोग जिस क्षेत्र में रहते है, उसी के अनुसार उनका पहनावा भी होता हैं। उदाहरण के लिए - पहाड़ो पर रहने वाले लोगों के कपड़े पहनने के तरीके रेगिस्तान में रहने वाले लोगों से बिल्कुल अलग होते हैं। भारत के अधिकांश हिस्सों में लोग अपनी पारंपरिक पोशाक ही पहनते हैं जो उनकी संस्कृति से जुड़ी होती है। यह हमारे अंदर एकता की भावना जागृत करती है और हमें प्रेम के धागे से जोड़े रखती है।
