The workshop covered talks and brainstorming on graduate curricula based on IKS, as well as different research topics related to it. Chief Guest K Sanjay Murthy, Secretary, Ministry of Education, says, “The transformation of traditional knowledge forms into science is the need of the hour.
It is essential that these knowledge systems be standardised in terms of their utility and consumption by the general population without creating any hype or unverified claims. I am glad that IIT Mandi has taken this step to formalise Indian Knowledge Systems as a scientific discipline. Mental health is also subjected to a great deal of social stigma.
