Indian Knowledge Systems and NEP 2020

Indian Knowledge Systems and NEP 2020 offers a detailed exploration of India’s ancient and classical traditions and their integration within the framework of the National Education Policy 2020. The book highlights the diversity of Indian knowledge systems—covering philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, medicine (Ayurveda), arts, literature, and environmental ethics—while illustrating their relevance to contemporary education and research.
Structured for clarity, the text begins with an overview of the historical evolution of Indian intellectual traditions and their global contributions. It then examines the key provisions of NEP 2020 that emphasize holistic and multidisciplinary education, experiential learning, and the revival of traditional knowledge alongside modern scientific approaches.
Through case studies, curriculum models, and pedagogical strategies, the book demonstrates practical ways to incorporate Indian Knowledge Systems into schools, colleges, and universities. Special attention is given to sustainability, ethical reasoning, and the cultivation of creativity—values that resonate with both ancient wisdom and 21st-century educational goals.
Ideal for educators, policy planners, scholars, and students, this book serves as both a scholarly resource and a practical guide. By blending heritage with innovation, it encourages an education model that celebrates India’s cultural roots while preparing learners for a global future.
