The (ICHR) and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch the project titled HISTORY of Indian Science and Technology. Similar project will be launched by the ICHR to trace the economic history of India. The ICHR will also launch another project in collaboration with the AYUSH Ministry to trace Indias contributions in the field of medicine.
The History of Indian Science and Technology project aims to trace the history of Indias contribution to the field of science and technology using evidence from ancient scriptures. Its goal is to establish India as a vishwa guru (global leader) in various scientific domains.
The project will enable historians to tap into the vast information provided by religious scriptures in India and understand their historic and scientific content.
