Integrating Indian Knowledge System in Science Education: Connecting Ancient Wisdom with Modern Learning

The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) represents a vast treasure of scientific understanding, cultural wisdom, and experiential learning developed over thousands of years. Ancient India contributed significantly to mathematics, astronomy, medicine, metallurgy, environmental conservation, and holistic health practices. These contributions continue to influence modern scientific research and sustainable living practices worldwide.Modern school education increasingly recognizes the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge with contemporary science teaching. Such integration enables students to understand science not merely as theoretical information but as a practical and culturally connected discipline rooted in observation, experimentation, and interaction with nature.This book has been designed specifically to help educators, curriculum developers, researchers, and school students understand how Indian Knowledge Systems can enrich science education. The book focuses on the most relevant and impactful themes that directly support school-level scientific learning and experiential education.
