Addressing the International Conference on Gyan Bharatam on the theme ‘Reclaiming India's Knowledge Legacy through Manuscript Heritage’, the prime minister said the exercise is an extension of the country's resolve to forge ahead with the concept of "swadeshi" and "aatmanirbhar Bharat".
India is now proudly presenting before the world its heritage of ancient knowledge preserved in its manuscripts for centuries, he said.
