For those who don't know, the ‘Indian National Calendar’, is a scientific expression of India’s identity. It was adopted constitutionally by our parliament in 1957. This was an obvious gesture of restoring our identity soon after gaining independence. However, it has remained unnoticed in the people’s psyche, regrettably.
Interested people can participate in the event through the website. Selected participants will be given an opportunity to join the conference at Ujjain.
