Indian Knowledge System Relevance and Practices under National Education Policy (NEP) 2020

Abstract

The  Bhartiya  way  aims to  promote  everyone's  well-being  and  is  sustainable.  Regaining  the entire  body  of  knowledge  pertaining  to  our  heritage  and  showcasing  such  practices  to  the world is crucial. This calls for educating future generations of academics who will illustrate and  teach  the  world  about  our  great  civilization's  distinctive  way  of  life.  As  a  guiding principle,  the  NEP,  2020  acknowledges  this  rich  legacy  of  timeless  and  ancient  Indian knowledge  and  thought.  The  three  components  of  the  Indian  Knowledge  Systems—Jnan, Vignan,   and  Jeevan   Darshan—have  developed  via   experimentation,   experience,  careful study,   and   observation.   This   custom   of  approving   and   implementing   has   affected  our manufacturing,  commerce,  education,  the  arts,  administration,  justice,  law,  and  health.  The classical and other Bharat languages that were passed down through artistic, oral, and textual traditions have  been impacted by this.  In this sense,  "knowledge  of  India" encompasses the achievements  and  difficulties  of  ancient  India  as  well  as  an  understanding  of  the  country's future goals with regard to health, education, the environment, and really every facet of life. Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) can be understood as a decolonization process that extends beyond  economic  and  political  realms  to  encompass  socio-cultural  aspects.  While  Indian systems  have  existed  for  centuries,  they  have  been  overshadowed  by  Western  ideologies. Consequently, there is a necessity to introduce a unifying element capable of transforming the prevailing mindset.
