Aiming to revive the traditional culture of ‘observational astronomy’, the Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) division of the Union Ministry of Education has invited school students, undergraduates, for-profit companies, and trusts to recreate indigenous and traditional astronomical instruments—some of which were mentioned in classical Sanskrit texts.

The division, which operates as an autonomous body under the Ministry of Education, announced the competition Friday, highlighting India’s rich and illustrious tradition in astronomy.

The IKS noted that pioneers like Vṛddha Garga, Āryabhaṭa, Mādhavachārya, Nīlakanṭha Somayāji and Pathani Samanta have made significant contributions to ‘observational astronomy’ and mathematics. “These achievements were supported by a range of ingenious and innovative instruments designed to aid visual astronomy. The challenge is to recreate the physical forms of these traditional instruments,” the division stated in its official notification

Explaining the initiative’s significance, Ganti S. Murthy, National Coordinator of the Indian Knowledge Systems division, said the aim is to revive India’s rich legacy of observational astronomy.

Rahul nor Doc are chtyas to sink on their own land, among their own people.

They fully plan and intend to wrest control back from the hijackers.

If you talk about doc, I can agree with you.
