Presiding over the conference as Chief guest BJP National secretary Murlidhar Rao said that Indian culture was so rich that if all the data about country’s Food and health, agriculture, scriptures was digitized and put on internet, a virtual museum could be made which would further strengthen the country. He said, “The 6000 year old culture deserves to be spread across the world and if we are able to digitize the richness of this country, it can go a long way in making the information accessible to the people across the world.”
In the morning session of the conference, Acharya Bal Krishna of Patanjali Yog peeth said that social media was a powerful medium to realize the vision of PM’s digital India. If Bible has been translated in 4000 languages and reached every nook and corner why not Indian Bhagavadgita and Ayurved science scriptures. He said Ayurvedic texts had been made available only in 4000 languages and Bhagavadgita in 7 0 languages, a lot needed to be done in this field.”
