Digitization of Indian manuscripts heritage: Role of the National Mission for Manuscripts

---

India has the distinction of having one of the most ancient, richest and largest collections of manuscripts in the
world. These manuscripts which are available in different forms, languages, scripts and cover a wide range of
subjects are a powerful medium for the preservation of Indian cultural heritage. But the preservation of these
manuscripts is a serious problem for the custodians of manuscripts because of the hot and humid climate of the
country. In this context the present paper gives an account of the commendable efforts rendered by the
National Mission for Manuscripts since its inception in 2003 by establishing and strengthening 57 manuscript
resource centres, 50 manuscript conservation centres and developing a National Database of Manuscripts.
It also presents the current status of digitization of Indian cultural heritage in the form of manuscripts
starting from its collection to the development of a Digital Manuscript Library for global access.
