Integrating Indian Knowledge System (IKS) in Education: Roles of Teachers, Schools, and Governments

The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) embodies India’s rich cultural, scientific, and philosophical traditions, offering an alternative epistemological framework for contemporary education. Despite its significance, IKS remains marginal in mainstream curricula. This paper explores the critical roles of teachers, schools, and governments in integrating IKS into the education system. It highlights the need for pedagogical innovations, institutional support, and policy frameworks to ensure effective implementation. The study underscores how a holistic inclusion of IKS can contribute to sustainable education and global knowledge dissemination. Additionally, it discusses challenges, best practices, and strategies for fostering an interdisciplinary approach that integrates IKS seamlessly with modern scientific and technological advancements.
