INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM AND NEW EDUCATION POLICY

The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, has been launched to transform the Indian education system using holistic development of the learners. This framework provides a comprehensive and integrated strategy for the growth of the education system. The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) is one of the significant aspects of the NEP curriculum. IKS encompasses diverse and rich heritage knowledge of India that covers various domains such as science and technology, literature, philosophy, culture, medicine (ayurveda), and yoga. NEP has focused on interdisciplinary and Trans disciplinary knowledge, and it can integrate the contemporary knowledge vested with IKS to address current and future challenges. The IKS covers the knowledge assets from the pre-historic to the current period. NEP fosters the creation of language resources and technology to facilitate the IKS as it recognizes its importance for disseminating indigenous knowledge. The integration of IKS with NEP will help to understand the underlying contemporary societal issues and to carry out further research on these issues. It will foster the growth and understanding of rich and diverse indigenous knowledge among various stakeholders and rejuvenate traditional knowledge with the help of modern technology.
