A university official informed that the University of Delhi, in a first, has scheduled a Panchang, an ancient Indian knowledge system-based almanac, for reviving and reintroducing India’s heritage.



The official from the university stated the Panchang is more developed with cutting-edge technology than the Western calendar and will assist in the “dissemination of ancient Indian knowledge.



The official said Panchang is the annual collection of planetary moments. In other terms, Panchanga means the day, nakshatra (star), tithi, yoga, and Karana every day. The Panchang was launched yesterday, April 28, 2023.



Niranjan Kumar, Value Addition Courses Committee Chairman, University of Delhi, said Delhi University is launching a Panchang for disseminating ancient Indian knowledge. Considerably more thorough and informative than the Western calendar, the Panchang includes all festivals and other significant dates as well as tithi, vaar, Karan, nakshatra, and yog. He mentioned the Panchang would be a valuable first effort in introducing students to the rich corpus of Indian knowledge tradition.



He added that, unfortunately, it is vanishing from our homes and the minds of the youth. In such a case, the historic centenary almanac will be offered free of cost to every individual arriving on the programme.



In the centenary year of the university, the Value Addition Courses Committee of Delhi University is arranging a programme on ‘Panchang and Indian Knowledge Tradition’ at 3 pm on April 28, 2023, at the Convention Hall of the university campus.



A special lecture on critical topics like the significance of the Panchang and the accuracy of mathematical calculations found therein is also planned to be organised.



Ramlal, All India Sampark Pramukh of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is the chief guest of the programme, and Delhi University Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh will preside over the event. Arvind Kumar Gupta, Industrialist, and Philanthropist, will be the special guest.



The University of Delhi is committed to the revitalization and propagation of India’s intellectual heritage, “and the Value Addition Courses Committee of Delhi University is constantly functioning in that direction along with the character building and holistic character development of the learners keeping in mind the Indian Value system,” he added.
