Abstract
The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has been created to improve the Indian education system via the holistic development of students. This framework offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to the expansion of the educational system. One of the NEP curriculum’s key components is the Indian Knowledge System (IKS). IKS incorporates India’s vast and rich legacy knowledge, which spans numerous fields such as science and technology, literature, philosophy, culture, medicine (ayurveda), and yoga. NEP has prioritized multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge, and it may combine modern information held by IKS to meet present and future concerns. The IKS encompasses knowledge assets from the prehistoric to the contemporary times. NEP encourages the development of linguistic resources and technology to support IKS, recognizing its value in transmitting indigenous knowledge.
