Karnataka Builds Unified Digital Heritage Portal
Karnataka on Dec. 4, 2025 proposed a unified Digital Heritage Portal led by the Oriental Research Institute (ORI), Mysuru, and the Karnataka State Archives to integrate manuscripts, rare printed works and archival records on a single platform. The plan includes hosting a National Centre for the History of Indian Sciences, partnerships with IGNCA and Mahabharata Pratishthana, and use of AI-enabled script recognition and restoration, building on ₹2.15 crore digitisation work.
Key Points
- 1Proposes unified portal integrating 70,000 manuscripts and 45,000 rare printed works statewide
- 2Leverages AI script recognition and restoration to preserve decaying materials and expand global access
- 3Enables digital-archivist training, infrastructure upgrades, and research access to historic Indian science texts
