Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The "Dhara: An Ode to Indian Knowledge Systems" is a special initiative launched by the Ministry of Culture as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations [3]. The word "Dhara" signifies the continuous flow of knowledge and wisdom from ancient times to the present, emphasizing the preservation and promotion of India's intellectual heritage [3]. While the Ministry of Education also promotes the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) through the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and specific curriculum guidelines [2], the specific "Dhara" lecture series and thematic conferences are organized under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture to reclaim India's knowledge legacy [3]. These sessions cover diverse fields such as mathematics, astronomy, and traditional medicine, aiming to bridge ancient insights with modern scientific challenges.
