Technology developed: SandHISangrahalay Museum of Scientific Study of Indian Knowledge Systems (TP19769850804)
Category: Technology Service/Know how
Details of Inventor(s):
Inventor Institution/Organization/Company Department Designation
IIT K Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur
Technical Application Area: Other
If 'Other', please specify:
Humanities & Social Sciences
Please give more details of new technical application area:
The SandHISangrahalay is envisaged as an interactive platform for displaying the finest intellectual achievements of the Indian mind in the field of science and technology as expressed and manifested in its material culture. It is a celebration of Indian science and technology as understood through the remnants of the past in the archived as well as living traditions of the country. The SandHI projects decoding and analyzing various areas of science and technology such as water harvesting systems, sound engineering, tectonic and seismic analyses as well as metallurgy will feed into the museum content directly. The museum will thus mark the progress of the projects and also be in a constant stage of evolution as data is added, modified or deleted from its content. Therefore, unlike the traditional museums, content here is open ended, improvisatory and evolutionary. More interestingly, it follows a bottom up approach of constructing scientific principles from the knowledge embedded in artifacts or other tangible manifestations of their creators as well as their environment. In most museums, principles are displayed independent of their applications but the interactivity of this museum would lie in the manner in which it would facilitate the derivation of a principle rather than its elicitation. In this sense, the museum content is designed as a learning pedagogy rather than an exhibition or a display.

    Abstract:

Applications: The SandHISangrahalay is envisaged as an interactive platform for displaying the finest intellectual achievements of the Indian mind in the field of science and technology as expressed and manifested in its material culture. It is a celebration of Indian science and technology as understood through the remnants of the past in the archived as well as living traditions of the country. The SandHI projects decoding and analyzing various areas of science and technology such as water harvesting systems, sound engineering, tectonic and seismic analyses as well as metallurgy will feed into the museum content directly. The museum will thus mark the progress of the projects and also be in a constant stage of evolution as data is added, modified or deleted from its content. Therefore, unlike the traditional museums, content here is open ended, improvisatory and evolutionary. More interestingly, it follows a bottom up approach of constructing scientific principles from the knowledge embedded in artifacts or other tangible manifestations of their creators as well as their environment. In most museums, principles are displayed independent of their applications but the interactivity of this museum would lie in the manner in which it would facilitate the derivation of a principle rather than its elicitation. In this sense, the museum content is designed as a learning pedagogy rather than an exhibition or a display.
Advantages: The SandHISangrahalay is envisaged as an interactive platform for displaying the finest intellectual achievements of the Indian mind in the field of science and technology as expressed and manifested in its material culture. It is a celebration of Indian science and technology as understood through the remnants of the past in the archived as well as living traditions of the country. The SandHI projects decoding and analyzing various areas of science and technology such as water harvesting systems, sound engineering, tectonic and seismic analyses as well as metallurgy will feed into the museum content directly. The museum will thus mark the progress of the projects and also be in a constant stage of evolution as data is added, modified or deleted from its content. Therefore, unlike the traditional museums, content here is open ended, improvisatory and evolutionary.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
