Friends, the Gyan Bharatam Mission is an important part of this great campaign. Numerous organizations across the country are working with the government in this endeavor with a spirit of public participation: Kashi Nagari Pracharani Sabha, The Asiatic Society of Kolkata, Dharohar of Udaipur, Acharya Shri Kailassuri Gyan Mandir in Koba, Gujarat, Patanjali of Haridwar, Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute of Pune, Saraswati Mahal Library of Thanjavur.

About The Asiatic Society

Sir William Jones professed in one of his annual discourses that "It will flourish, if naturalists, chemists, antiquaries, philologers and men of science, in different parts of Asia, will commit their observations to writing, and send them to the Asiatic Society at Calcutta: it will languish, if such communications shall be long intermitted; and it will die away, if they shall entirely cease." It is in between expectations (flourish) and apprehensions (languish) of Sir William Jones, that the Society is passing through one hundred and twenty five years bearing the prestige of the oldest surviving publishing house of the country. In fact, the Asiatic Society is known to the world of learning mostly because of its publications of high academic standard.
