Each branch not only carries theoretical richness but also offers profound practical relevance. Understanding IKS helps us appreciate a civilization that nurtured integrated thinking, spiritual insight, and scientific inquiry for thousands of years. These systems were not only the intellectual backbone of India but have inspired and influenced knowledge traditions around the world.'

Delhi government to train teachers in Indian Knowledge Systems at IITs: Education Minister
New Delhi: Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood on Monday said school teachers in the national capital will soon be trained in India's traditional knowledge systems through a specialised programme at two Indian Institutes of Technology. The initiative, expected to roll out in September, aims to familiarise educators with Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), covering subjects such as philosophy, Sanskrit, arts, sciences, and ancient texts, including the Vedas and the Upanishads. It will also feature modules on Ayurveda, Yoga, and other aspects of India's cultural and intellectual heritage, Sood said. In the first phase, at least 50 government school teachers will be shortlisted and grouped into batches of five. They will be trained over five to seven days at IIT-Mandi in Himachal Pradesh and IIT-Gandhinagar in Gujarat. The programme is designed to bridge the gap between modern education and India's age-old knowledge traditions, Sood said. "By training teachers in these areas, the aim is to foster a stronger connection between students and their cultural roots," Sood said. (PTI) Ready to navigate global policies?
