Inspiration

of the Book

This book commemorates the significant strides made in
the inclusion of Indian knowledge systems (IKS) within formal
education and research frameworks, as seen in recent
government initiatives and policies. Drawing inspiration from
foundational documents like the National Education Policy
(NEP) 2020, the National Curriculum Framework (2023),
and the University Grants Commission’s guidelines, this work
celebrates the integration of India’s vast intellectual heritage
into modern academic curricula. These policies recognize the
enduring relevance of subjects like Ayurveda, yoga, ancient
sciences, and traditional philosophies, not only for cultural
preservation but also for offering innovative, sustainable
solutions to contemporary challenges. By aligning this ancient
wisdom with current global standards in education and
industry, these initiatives foster a unique synergy that this book
seeks to explore in depth. Through case studies, insights, and
applications, the book honors the government’s commitment
to a holistic education that bridges past and present, making
IKS accessible and applicable to future generations.
