To preserve the tribal artforms, heritage and connect India’s tribal communities with the world, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs today unveiled the Beta Version of Adi Sanskriti — a pioneering digital learning platform at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, during the National Conference on Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan.
The platform was formally launched by the Minister of State for Tribal Affairs, Durgadas Uikey, unveiling a new digital era for the preservation and promotion of tribal culture and heritage.
Adi Sanskriti is envisioned as the world’s first Digital University to preserve and promote the culture and traditional knowledge of tribal communities, and an online marketplace for the world to access products made by tribal artisans.
The platform integrates three major components i.e Adi Vishwavidyalaya (Digital Tribal Art Academy), Adi Sampada (Socio-Cultural Repository), Adi Haat (Online marketplace).
In his address MoS Durgadas Uikey said “From Shiksha to Sampada to Haat – Adi Sanskriti is a holistic platform for preservation, knowledge-sharing, and empowerment. It provides diversified knowledge about tribal communities, their Sanskriti and Virasat, and serves as a repository of art forms. With its launch, anyone can now connect with the treasure of tribal culture, heritage, and livelihoods.”
Adi Sanskriti is made in partnership with State Tribal Research Institutes (TRIs), ensuring grassroots participation, authenticity, and convergence in its development.
