The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes integrating Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into curricula, preserving and promoting India's intellectual heritage. This includes:

  • (1) ancient sciences, mathematics, and philosophy
  • (2) traditional arts, crafts, and languages (Sanskrit)
  • (3) indigenous health systems (Ayurveda, Yoga)
  • (4) environmental knowledge and sustainable practices
  • (5) cultural and ethical values from Indian traditions. NEP 2020 aims to blend traditional wisdom with modern education, fostering cultural pride while maintaining scientific rigor and contemporary relevance.
