Abstract: The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is a repository of ancient wisdom encompassing diverse fields such as philosophy, science, medicine, mathematics, art, and governance. Historically, it contributed significantly to global advancements in various domains. In the contemporary era, IKS is regaining recognition due to its relevance in sustainable living, holistic education, and ethical governance. This article explores the evolution and significance of the Indian Knowledge System, its impact in historical contexts, and its modern-day applications in education, healthcare, and technology. The study also emphasizes the need to integrate IKS with contemporary knowledge paradigms for a sustainable and inclusive future.
