Our Institute has organised a very successful seminar on Manuscriptology recently in Ahmedabad. In appreciation of the quality and success of that seminar, and at the same time recognising the need not only for such seminars but also the need for establishing study centres for our precious heritage, several articles have appeared in Indian dailies and magazines.
One such article, discussing in depth the need to develop the studies for the ancient manuscripts held in various collections in India appeared in a well reputed and recognised Gujarati magazine , ‘Navchetan’ which started publication 89 years ago. This article, in Gujarati is attached in pdf format: Navchetan-1 .
The article strongly advocates establishment of Manuscriptology courses in universities to be followed by establishing specialised faculties. Our Institute will be encouraging the establishment of such course through its various contacts.
