National Mission for Manuscripts

The National Mission for Manuscripts is an initiative by the Indian government aimed at conserving, documenting, and promoting Indian manuscripts. It works to protect rare and ancient manuscripts in various languages and scripts, many of which are at risk of deterioration or loss. The mission includes activities like cataloging manuscripts, digitizing them for preservation, and raising awareness about their cultural and historical significance. By doing so, it helps preserve India’s rich literary and cultural heritage for future generations and makes these valuable texts accessible to researchers and the public.
