IKS

We Indians believe in welfare of all. Our knowledge system is


comprehensive as it is based on our heritage and it signifies the Indian
way of doing things to the world. It is required that we have to train the
scholars who will show the world a way of life that is unique and
represents our great civilization.

The NEP, 2020 recognizes this rich heritage of ancient and eternal Indian
knowledge

IKS act as a guiding principle. The Indian Knowledge System has evolved
out of experience, observation, experimentation, and rigorous analysis.

We have a tradition of first validating then putting into practice. It has


impacted our education, arts, administration, law, justice, health,
manufacturing, and commerce. IKS has influenced classical and other
languages of Bharat, that were transmitted through textual, oral, and
artistic traditions.

“Knowledge of India” in this sense includes knowledge from ancient India


and, its successes and challenges, and a sense of India’s future
aspirations specific to education, health, environment and indeed all
aspects of life.

IKS offers a holistic and value-based education, ensuring all-round


development while fostering a deep connection to local culture and
knowledge.

Features of IKS

Value-Based Education:

Indian knowledge systems are deeply rooted in values such as


compassion, respect for nature, and the pursuit of truth and
righteousness. By imparting these values, education based on Indian
knowledge systems nurtures ethical leadership, empathy, and social
responsibility in young learners. This value-based approach not only
fosters personal growth but also contributes to the development of a more
compassionate and sustainable society.

Connecting to local culture

One of the strengths of Indian knowledge systems lies in their ability to


connect learners to their local culture and knowledge. This connection to
local traditions fosters a sense of belonging and community, empowering
young people to represent their culture.

Neuroscientific benefits:
Recent research in neuroscience has underscored the cognitive benefits of
engaging with Indian knowledge systems. Practices such as yoga,
meditation, and chanting have been shown to enhance cognitive function,
reduce stress, and improve emotional well-being. By incorporating these
practices into education, young learners can develop greater focus,
resilience, and emotional intelligence, enhancing their overall learning
experience and academic performance.

Observational and Experiential:

Ganita, rooted in ancient Indian texts like the Sulba Sutras and the works
of mathematicians like Aryabhata and Brahmagupta, emphasizes intuitive
problem-solving, geometric reasoning, and practical applications. By
integrating Ganita with modern math curricula, students gain a deeper
understanding of mathematical principles while also appreciating the
cultural and historical significance of mathematical knowledge, thereby
enriching their overall mathematical education.

Incorporating Ayurveda and Yoga into education not only offers holistic
health benefits but also fosters a deeper connection with nature.

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasizes the


interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, and advocates for harmony
with nature.

Yoga, an integral part of Indian knowledge systems, offers practices that


promote physical well-being, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. Through
yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control), and meditation,
individual

The local calendar, often based on lunar and solar cycles and agricultural
seasons, provides valuable insights into the cyclical patterns of nature,
including the timing of festivals, agricultural activities, and celestial
events.

By familiarizing themselves with the local calendar, children gain a deeper


appreciation for the interconnectedness of human life with natural
phenomena, fostering a sense of respect for the Earth's cycles.

By engaging with these traditions, students develop critical thinking skills,


ethical values, and a deeper connection to their local culture and
knowledge. Moreover, the neuroscientific benefits of Indian knowledge
systems highlight their relevance in contemporary education and
underscore the need for their integration into mainstream curriculum.
