The Delhi government's Archives Department has launched a survey under the Centre's Gyan Bharatam Mission to identify and document unregistered manuscripts over 75 years old related to religion, medicine, and traditional knowledge. The drive, running from April 16 to June 15, involves students and scholars conducting field visits to locate, geotag, and build a national database of such manuscripts. Notable finds include a 300-year-old illustrated Shrimad Bhagwat and a rare Jain manuscript. Public awareness efforts are planned to encourage manuscript registration.
