Description
This book examines how the National Education Policy 2020 seeks to revive and integrate the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) into India’s formal education. It outlines the historical and cultural foundations of IKS, detailing its diverse domains such as philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, linguistics, arts, and ecology. The authors analyze the policy’s vision, directives, and implementation strategies for embedding IKS across curricula, highlighting interdisciplinary and holistic approaches. The study identifies challenges and opportunities in bringing traditional knowledge into contemporary classrooms, and evaluates the implications for national identity, innovation, and global relevance. Through qualitative content analysis of policy documents, academic literature, and expert commentary, the book offers a comprehensive overview of IKS’s role in shaping a culturally rooted yet globally competitive education system.
