== Literary Contributions ==
During the COVID-19 lockdown, Chhaya Dharmadatta Patil undertook an in-depth study of the Dhamma Script, regarded by many scholars as the mother script of several Indian writing systems. Following her research, she began teaching the Dhamma Script through both online and offline classes free of cost with the objective of preserving and promoting this ancient script.
On '''10 January 2023''', she published the first book of its kind that transliterates the Marathi Nagari Script into the Dhamma Script. The publication is regarded as a pioneering effort in Dhamma Script literature, as no published work of this nature had been produced in the Dhamma Script since 1836.
While numerous historical inscriptions have been transcribed and translated into various Indian languages and scripts, Chhaya Dharmadatta Patil's work is recognized for presenting transliteration into the Dhamma Script, contributing to the preservation and accessibility of this ancient writing tradition.
She is presently working on her second publication, which combines the Hindi (Nagari) Script with the Dhamma Script to further expand awareness and educational access to the script.
