India has perhaps the largest number of manuscripts in the world. Scripts, languages and subjects of Indian manuscripts are immensely diverse. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of scholarship in the country to excerpt minimum information about manuscripts for their documentation, let alone editing, publishing or translating them. To achieve the mandate, the Mission puts an effort to create resources by introducing short term courses like ‘Basic Level’ workshops on Manuscriptology and Palaeography of 15 to 21 days. The course familiarises students with local script prevalent in their area as well as ancient scripts like Brahmi, Sharada, Modi, Grantha, Tigalari, Naskh, Nasta'liq, Kufic, etc. in which a number of manuscripts are found all over the country. In addition, the course covers aspects of cataloguing and practical training in transcription, collation and critical editing. Various aspects of conservation and preservation of manuscripts are also included in these courses. The faculty consists of the senior scholars in the country representing different disciplines in Manuscriptology and Palaeography.
