| The Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) is a database currently containing codified/published literature from Indian Systems of Medicine. TKDL contains more than 4.24 lakh formulations from the texts of traditional medicine systems of India including Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha. The selection of these books is based on inputs from a set of eminent experts from each stream of medicine. The task of digitizing the medicinal information available is being done continuously in a phased manner and has started with open knowledge available in published books.
