Manuscripts enshrine a slice of culture and heritage of the country and its conservation was imperative to safeguard it for posterity. This was stated by Veeresh Badiger of Kannada University in Hampi and an expert in manuscripts, here on Wednesday.
He was speaking at a workshop on manuscripts and awareness on their conservation organised by the Kannada University at Central Institute of Indian Languages.
He said manuscripts can be conserved through digitalisation and the use of modern technology and called for greater research on its evolution. Prof. Badiger said writers had a great role in the development of languages.
