About this ebook
The landscape of Indian education is undergoing a profound transformation, one that seeks to reconcile the wisdom of the past with the aspirations of the future. This book, Cultural Roots and Educational Reforms: The NEP–IKS Connection, is born from this spirit of synthesis—where the traditional knowledge systems of India meet the modern objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The chapters in this volume explore the rich intersection of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) with educational reforms envisioned by NEP. Each contribution offers a unique lens through which to examine how India's ancient philosophies, pedagogies, and cultural practices can be meaningfully integrated into contemporary educational frameworks. Whether it is reimagining classrooms through traditional ecological wisdom, exploring policy synergies with global frameworks, or delving into the medicinal and scientific heritage of India, this compilation captures the breadth and depth of IKS’s relevance today. Our intent in bringing this book together is twofold: first, to document and disseminate scholarly research that validates the relevance of IKS in modern education; and second, to inspire educators, researchers, and policymakers to embrace a more holistic, inclusive, and culturally rooted approach to learning. We believe that embedding cultural context in education enhances not only academic understanding but also fosters ethical, environmental, and social consciousness in learners. We are deeply grateful to the contributors who have shared their expertise, and to all those working tirelessly to revive, preserve, and integrate India’s indigenous intellectual traditions within the educational landscape. This book is a step toward bridging the gap between heritage and innovation, tradition and transformation. We hope that readers will find in these pages both insight and inspiration for shaping an educational paradigm that is not only informed by the past but also equipped to shape a sustainable and equitable future.
