Centre for IKS(Indian Knowledge Systems)

Introduction

While humans have been making progress in life, it is also a widespread understanding that for every new solution and idea that we discover, we introduce more and more challenges and problems arising out of them. This potentially raises the need for alternative paradigms for the emerging world order. Indic Knowledge Systems (IKS) can potentially offer ideas for developing new paradigms for the world order. The knowledge of IKS is the first step in this process to assimilate the past with the present to lead the way to prepare the wisdom for better human life and social systems.

The National Education Policy 2020 encourages addressing the challenges related to a sustainable and progressive life by imparting comprehensive knowledge from Indic Perspectives. The proposed IKS centre at Gangadhar Meher University, Sambalpur is inspired by the integration of the ancient knowledge systems with the current educational disciplines which will cater interdisciplinary approach to address the emerging challenges of India.

The Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems will function as the networking hub for the institutions of Odisha/Western Odisha to provide education, training and research for the promotion in Indian Knowledge Systems.
