NEP-2020 recognizes the diverse and rich socio-cultural heritage of the knowledge system (‘Gyaan Parampara’) of our ancient India civilization. The NEP also believes that revival of knowledge system of the ancient past is significant in the journey towards making Bharat a ‘Vishwaguru’ in true sense. The Indian Knowledge System comprises of Jnan (Knowledge), Vignan (Science), and Jeevan Darshan (Life’s philosophy) that have evolved out of practice, observation, experimentation, and thorough analysis. This tradition of experimentation and research has positively impacted our education, the arts, management, legislation, justice, health, manufacturing, and commerce. This has impacted classical and other languages of Bharat that were transmitted through textual, scriptural, oral, and artistic traditions. The integration of IKS and NEP will help to understand contemporary social problems and conduct more research on

common problems. It will certainly encourage the development and understanding of rich and diverse indigenous knowledge among various stakeholders and bring indigenous knowledge to life with the help of modern technology. This paper is an attempt to explore how Indian knowledge can be integrated with the existing education system to address India’s contemporary challenges, particularly in the education sector. In addition, challenges in implementing the provisions of IKS are also discussed.
