The Centre facilitates interdisciplinary research that blends ancient Indian knowledge with modern scientific advancements. Our research activities are designed to explore the practical utility of IKS in solving contemporary problems. Key areas of focus include:
● Ancient Computational Systems & Modern Technology: Applying principles from Vedic mathematics to AI and utilizing the linguistic structures of Sanskrit for Natural Language Processing (NLP) models.
● Indigenous Wellness & Computational Biology: Exploring traditional systems like Ayurveda through the lens of modern computational and data-driven models.
● Sustainable Technologies & Ecological Wisdom: Investigating IKS-based principles of architecture, water management, and agriculture to develop sustainable models and technologies.
● Governance, Ethics & Policy: Conducting policy research on IKS-based models of governance and leadership to inform contemporary frameworks.
● Digital Archiving A critical initiative of CIKSTI is the establishment of a digital repository for ancient manuscripts, texts, and indigenous knowledge. This project involves "Digital Archiving with AI Implementation" to preserve and make India's intellectual heritage accessible to researchers worldwide, ensuring its availability for future generations.
