No TL;DR found
Abstract
The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) embodies India's extensive intellectual, scientific, cultural, and philosophical legacy, cultivated over thousands of years through experiential learning and native wisdom. It includes a variety of fields such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, linguistics, the arts, governance, ethics, and environmental sustainability. Incorporating IKS into mainstream education is crucial for reclaiming India's intellectual heritage, nurturing national pride, and establishing a holistic and contextual learning model that meets modern demands. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 offers a timely framework to integrate IKS into the contemporary educational landscape of India. In the present article, the understanding of the Indian Knowledge System and its incorporation in Indian Education have been discussed.
