ABSTRACT
Ayurveda’s classical knowledge, preserved through Samhitas and ancient manuscripts written on palm leaves, Bhurj Patra, and other traditional materials, has deteriorated over time due to insufficient conservation. The Government of India’s Gyan Bharatam Mission (2024–2031) aims to systematically collect, conserve, catalogue, translate, and publish these manuscripts. This initiative facilitates the retrieval of lost Ayurvedic concepts and highlights their scientific relevance for contemporary and future research. Strengthening manuscript preservation ensures that India’s traditional medical heritage remains accessible to scholars, practitioners, and future generations.
