Digital Applications of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS)

Unit	Content	Hours
Unit 1	JDBC and Database Connectivity for IKS Setup JDBC with MySQL for IKS Content – Create a database for Indian heritage content such as Ayurvedic herbs, Sanskrit terms, or Panchang data using JDBC and MySQL. Demonstration of JDBC Driver Types – Explore and test different JDBC driver types to understand which are best suited for connecting to heritage data storage platforms. Querying IKS Data with JDBC API – Use Statement, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement to fetch and update data related to Vedic rituals, traditional texts, and Yoga poses. Metadata Handling for Cultural Databases – Use ResultSetMetaData and DatabaseMetaData to extract schema information and document the structure of IKS-based datasets. Exception Handling in Heritage Applications – Implement exception handling techniques to ensure robust and ethical handling of user input and retrieval of IKS content from databases.	30
Unit 2	Servlets for Dynamic IKS Applications Create a Panchang Viewer Using Servlet – Develop a web application that fetches and displays daily Panchang details (tithi, nakshatra, sunrise time) using Java Servlets. Servlet Collaboration for Multi-Module IKS Applications – Design a system where multiple servlets share data, such as linking Panchatantra stories with related Sanskrit shlokas. Session Tracking for Personalized IKS Apps – Use session tracking techniques (cookies, session API, hidden fields) to personalize IKS apps such as favorite Ayurveda herbs or saved Yoga routines. Servlet with JDBC for Ayurvedic Remedies – Build a form-based system using Servlet and JDBC that provides remedies for common ailments based on traditional Ayurvedic knowledge. Remote Access to IKS Data using RMI – Implement a basic RMI-based application that allows remote access to an IKS dataset, such as a herb knowledge base or Sanskrit glossary.
Unit 3	JSP and JavaBeans for IKS Web Interfaces Sanskrit Shloka Display using JSP – Create a web page that displays a Sanskrit Shloka or philosophical quote of the day using JSP and JDBC. Session and Cookie Management in IKS Sites – Store and retrieve user preferences in an IKS learning portal (e.g., preferred Vedic topic or language setting) using cookies and sessions in JSP. Use of JSP Action Elements in Cultural Apps – Apply jsp:include, jsp:forward, and jsp:param to modularize components in applications like Panchatantra Story Readers or Gurukul admission forms. Exception Handling in JSP for Jyotish Application – Develop a Zodiac generator using JSP that includes proper error and exception handling when user input (date/time) is invalid. Integration of JavaBeans for Yoga Posture Viewer – Create reusable JavaBeans to manage data related to Yoga asanas, including name, category, Sanskrit translation, and benefits.
Unit 4	MVC and Advanced Frameworks for IKS Projects Mini Project using MVC Pattern – Implement a full-stack mini project such as a Gurukul Student Registration System or Sanskrit Learning Portal using the MVC architectural pattern. Hibernate-Based Application for IKS Content – Use Hibernate ORM to map and retrieve data like Yoga asanas, Vedic sutras, or Ayurveda formulations from the database. Struts Framework for Panchang Calendar Application – Develop a Panchang calendar app using Struts MVC framework to demonstrate enterprise-level project structure. Spring MVC for Sanskrit Content Delivery – Build an app to upload, store, and search Sanskrit verses or texts using the Spring MVC framework. Hibernate Annotations for Modeling Cultural Hierarchies – Apply annotations in Hibernate to represent structured Indian knowledge hierarchies, such as Vedas → Samhitas → Mandalas.
