The National Education Policy 2020 marks a historic milestone in India’s educational journey, envisioning a transformative, holistic, and inclusive framework for learning in the 21st century. The policy sets a bold agenda to align education with the needs of a rapidly changing world, empowering learners to become responsible citizens and global contributors. This book titled “Indian Knowledge Systems: Concepts and Applications” is an edited volume that seeks to engage with the vision, philosophy, and implementation strategies of NEP 2020. ...By exploring key themes such as curriculum reforms, teacher education, use of technology, vocational learning, equity, multidisciplinary approaches, and governance, the book attempts to highlight both the promise and the practicalities of translating the policy into action. This book will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, teachers, students, and all those invested in the future of education in India. The aim of the book is not merely to reproduce the text of the policy but to create a space for dialogue and debate—one that acknowledges the policy’s vision while also critically examining its feasibility in diverse contexts.
