YATI: The Journal of Interdisciplinary Thought and Initiatives
Derived from the Sanskrit term YATI—one who walks the path of knowledge, discipline, renunciation, and truth—this journal embodies a commitment to holistic and ethical scholarship.
Rooted in the spirit of Sanatan, YATI stands for continuity, inclusivity, and the timeless quest for wisdom.
In a world often fragmented by disciplinary boundaries, YATI aspires to be a bridge—connecting the Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences, Legal Studies, Education, Technology, and beyond. It provides a platform for integrative thought, critical dialogue, and innovative research that transcends academic silos.
More than a journal, YATI is a movement—a space where ideas converge and knowledge flows freely. We invite scholars, educators, and practitioners to join us in shaping a future where inquiry is collaborative, reflective, and transformative.
Let YATI be your forum for the interdisciplinary pursuit of truth.
