During the Centenary Year, we plan to initiate and carry forward programs to make the life and work of Dharampalji more widely known to the scholars and the public in various ways.  

 

     Some specific activities identified during the centenary celebrations:

 

1.    Carrying out  public events at regular intervals (at least once a month) on a set of  topics to be identified which will also include presentations on some of Dharampalji's books and their relevance for today. While these events will be online for now, it is hoped that we would be able to have physical meetings as soon as the Corona pandemic retreats.

Reports and Videos of these events will be made available on our site. Click here

 

2.     All the PPST Bulletins as well as the proceedings of the three Congresses on Traditional S&T of India will be put on the website.  In addition, other contributions made by the PPST group members to the debates on these topics would also be made available on our site.  Click here

 

3.    A consolidated list of the works of Dharampalji that have been translated into Indian languages would be put on the website, along with the translated materials themselves where permissions for the same can be obtained.
