India Launches World’s First Traditional Knowledge Digital Library:
India became the first country in the world to launch a Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL). This important step aims to protect and promote India’s rich traditional medicine systems using modern digital tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI). The World Health Organization (WHO) praised India’s efforts, calling it a big moment for global healthcare innovation. India’s Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) is a first-of-its-kind online platform that collects and preserves ancient knowledge from systems like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa, and Homoeopathy. It uses AI-based tools to organize and understand old texts and practices, making this knowledge easier to access and apply in today’s healthcare system.
