Abstract

The article discusses the launch of a Centre for Jain Studies at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore, aimed at promoting advanced research, translation, and digitization of manuscripts while integrating traditional knowledge with modern pedagogy. Funded by the Ministry of Minority Affairs under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) with an allocation of Rs 27.16 crore, the centre emphasizes the use of technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), in preserving heritage languages. The initiative is part of a broader effort by the Ministry to establish Centres of Excellence across various universities in India to safeguard the country's linguistic and philosophical heritage. The launch coincided with a national seminar on "Jainism and Indian Knowledge System." [Extracted from the article]
