The Morning Standard
|September 22, 2025
THE Culture Ministry has set itself a mammoth task of locating, preserving, and decoding India's vast manuscript wealth, scattered across states and written on everything from palm leaves and birch bark to copper plates and cloth.
At the Gyan Bharatam international conference held recently, PM Narendra Modi put the number of manuscripts at a staggering one crore in multiple languages, including Sanskrit, Tamil, Persian and Malayalam. The ministry is drawing up separate standard operating procedures (SoPs) to preserve ancient text recorded on a wide variety of materials.
