Bharatiya Vidya Saar Book – Controversy

If there are unsubstantiated claims, it will be reviewed by a committee: AICTE chief

The AICTE has been drawing flak for endorsing the book, Bharatiya Vidya Saar, for its new elective course, Ancient Indian Knowledge Traditions, to be introduced in at least 3,000 engineering colleges across the country

Contending that there is a gap between achievements in ancient science and technology and those of modern science, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) chairperson Anil Sahasrabudhe said the course ‘Ancient Indian Knowledge Traditions’ aims to bridge this gap. He said if there were unsubstantiated claims in the book Bharatiya Vidya Saar, to be taught under this course, it would be reviewed by a committee.

The AICTE has been drawing flak for endorsing the book for its new elective course, Ancient Indian Knowledge Traditions, to be introduced in at least 3,000 engineering colleges across the country.

Responding to an email sent by The Indian Express, Sahasrabudhe said, “This is a book — Bharatiya Vidya Saar — edited by researcher Dr Shashibala of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and vetted by a committee.”
