The incorporation of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into commerce and management education as per the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 signifies a revolutionary change in India's higher education framework. NEP 2020 imagines an educational system that is culturally based, multidisciplinary, and holistic. It would close the gap that has existed for a long time between indigenous knowledge traditions and modern academic structures. Indian Knowledge Systems include a huge collection of intellectual traditions, such as philosophy, governance, economics, ecology, mathematics, and ethics. These traditions are based on classical texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, Arthashastra, and Bhagavad Gita. Historically, commerce and management education in India has predominantly depended on Western theories and frameworks, frequently neglecting indigenous paradigms pertinent to the Indian socio-economic context. The NEP 2020 presents an opportunity to decolonise management theory and formulate contextually relevant theories that encompass ethics, sustainability, leadership, and social responsibility. This paper examines the conceptual underpinnings of IKS, its congruence with NEP 2020, and its ramifications for curriculum development, pedagogy, research, and institutional advancement in commerce and management education. It also looks at problems with restructuring the curriculum, getting teachers ready, being clear about what knowledge is, and how people see it. The paper ends with strategic suggestions for how to systematically integrate IKS to promote all-around growth, ethical leadership, and long-term economic growth that fits with the goals of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat @2047.

The twenty-first century has witnessed profound transformations in business environments, driven by globalization, technological disruption, environmental crises, and shifting stakeholder expectations. Contemporary corporations are increasingly expected to operate beyond profit maximization, embracing sustainability, ethical governance, and social responsibility. However, much of modern management education remains anchored in Western theoretical frameworks that emphasize efficiency, competition, and shareholder value. India possesses a rich intellectual heritage that offers alternative paradigms for governance, sustainability, and economic organization. Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) encompass philosophical, scientific, economic, and ethical traditions developed over millennia. These systems emphasize interconnectedness, balance, duty, and holistic well-being—principles that resonate strongly with contemporary sustainability discourse.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 places unprecedented emphasis on reconnecting contemporary education with India’s civilizational knowledge traditions through the framework of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). This paper examines NEP’s key initiative of “bridging past and present” by exploring the convergence of modern progress and traditional wisdom in the context of Chhattisgarh, with particular reference to the tribal Ayurveda of the Bastar region, the ancient temples of the state, and the living traditions of tribal art and folk dance. The study adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon historical sources, ethnographic studies, policy documents, and secondary data to analyse how indigenous healing practices, architectural knowledge, and performative arts embody sustainable, communityoriented epistemologies. The paper argues that integrating such knowledge systems into higher education not only enriches academic curricula but also fosters cultural literacy, ethical awareness, and national consciousness among students. Furthermore, it demonstrates how modern scientific tools, digital documentation, and academic research methodologies can complement traditional practices without diluting their essence. By situating Bastar’s tribal knowledge and Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage within the broader objectives of NEP 2020, the paper highlights the transformative potential of IKS in creating a holistic, inclusive, and culturally grounded higher education system.

Contemporary business management is largely grounded in Western epistemological traditions that prioritize efficiency, competition, and profit maximization. While these models have facilitated economic growth, they have also contributed to ethical failures, ecological imbalance, and workplace alienation. While these models have driven industrial growth their limitations have become evident in addressing ethical lapses, mental health concerns, environmental degradation and socio-cultural disconnects. In contrast, Indian knowledge system – rooted in millennia practice- offer inclusive paradigms emphasizing balance, duty, and human- centredness. This paper argues that the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) offers a viable alternative framework for reimagining business management through its holistic, ethical, and sustainability-oriented worldview. Indian Knowledge System (IKS), rooted in thousands of years of philosophical inquiry and socio- economic practice, provides a comprehensive worldview that integrates material success with moral responsibility and spiritual awareness. Indian epistemological can contribute to reconceptualizing business management for more sustainable, ethical, and humanistic organizational frameworks. Drawing upon classical Indian texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Arthashastra, and Buddhist literature, the study develops a conceptual model that integrates values of dharma (righteous duty), karma (responsible action), lokasangraha (social welfare), and atma-bodha (selfawareness) into managerial thought and practice. Many Indian family businesses maintain sustainable practices rooted in duty to legacy and community reflecting non -western forms of corporate responsibility. The paper demonstrates how Indian epistemologies can enrich leadership, governance, human resource management, and strategic decision-making, thereby fostering value-based and resilient organizations. The study concludes that incorporating IKS into management theory can contribute to a more inclusive, ethical, and sustainable global business paradigm

A public digital infrastructure would be beneficial for a systematic management of online learning platforms. SWAYAM and DIKSHA are such examples, currently popular for providing courses on a multitude of subjects. The extension of these programs to aid a two-way audio-visual conversation between the teachers and students is one of the highlights of this development. NEP 2020 also takes into consideration the need to keep the teachers updated on the new applications available as teaching aids. Promotion of regular Faculty Development Programs is a step towards keeping the teachers updated on the newest changes and innovations in the field of education. Creation of e-content and online libraries is also heavily promoted as it can reach a wide area of learners who were previously dependent on the physical libraries. The presence of e-books and online journals have made research much easier. NEP 2020 sends a strong message for the promotion of all such varying aids to make teaching and learning more enjoyable and effective.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a landmark reform in the Indian education system, aiming to transform higher education through the integration of holistic and multidisciplinary learning approaches. Rooted in the philosophical foundations of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS), the policy seeks to revive India’s traditional educational ethos that emphasized the comprehensive development of an individual’s intellectual, ethical, emotional, and practical capacities. Unlike the conventional compartmentalized model of education, NEP 2020 promotes flexibility 'in curriculum design, interdisciplinary research, skill-based learning, and valueoriented education, thereby fostering critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning. This paper examines the conceptual framework of holistic and multidisciplinary education within the context of NEP 2020 and explores its alignment with indigenous knowledge traditions such as the Gurukul system and ancient Indian universities like Nalanda and Takshashila, which exemplified integrated knowledge systems. The study adopts a qualitative and analytical methodology through policy analysis and review of relevant scholarly literature to evaluate the transformative potential of NEP 2020 in reshaping higher education in India. Furthermore, the paper highlights the opportunities presented by this educational sparadigm, including enhanced innovation, cultural preservation, and global academic competitiveness, while also addressing the practical challenges associated with implementation, such as institutional preparedness, curriculum restructuring, and faculty training. The study argues that the successful integration of holistic and multidisciplinary education requires a balanced synthesis of traditional wisdom and contemporary pedagogical practices. By situating NEP 2020 within the broader framework of the Indian Knowledge System, this paper contributes to understanding how educational reforms can promote inclusive, sustainable, and culturally rooted higher education in India.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a transformative shift in India’s educational framework by emphasizing multidisciplinary learning, holistic development, and the integration of indigenous knowledge traditions. Central to this reform is the revival and institutionalization of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) within higher education. Modern research views IKS as a naturally integrative field, bridging traditionaldomains— such as Vedic mathematics, Ayurveda, and sustainable architecture—withcontemporary scientific inquiry. The Indian Knowledge System encompasses diverse intellectual traditions developed over centuries in areas such as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, linguistics, and environmental science. However, colonial educational structures and modern disciplinary fragmentation marginalized many of these traditions from mainstream academic curricula. A core ambition of NEP 2020 is to restore experiential learning, a foundational element of the ancient Guru-Shishya tradition where knowledge was passed down through direct practice and mentorship. However, this institutional shift faces steep hurdles, including the philosophical tension between traditional holistic views and modern reductionist methods, as well as a severe shortage of faculty trained in both indigenous and modern academic systems The research highlights that although awareness regarding indigenous knowledge traditions is gradually increasing, significant challenges persist, including lack of trained faculty, limited curricular frameworks, institutional resistance, and insufficient research infrastructure. The findings suggest that successful integration of IKS requires comprehensive curriculum reform, interdisciplinary research initiatives, and faculty development programs. Integrating traditional knowledge systems with modern scientific approaches can enrich educational practices, strengthen cultural identity, and foster innovative problem-solving approaches relevant to contemporary societal challenges. The paper concludes integration of experimental and multidisciplinary learning is having a long lasting impact on higher education.

The integration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) into higher education has emerged as an important strategy for fostering epistemic plurality, cultural relevance, and sustainable educational practices. Indigenous Knowledge Systems comprise context-specific, community-generated knowledge developed through sustained interaction with social, cultural, and ecological environments. While national and international policy frameworks increasingly emphasize the inclusion of indigenous and traditional knowledge in higher education curricula, effective implementation remains inconsistent. A critical determinant of successful integration is the preparedness of teachers, who play a central role in translating policy intentions into pedagogical practice. This study examines the extent of teacher preparedness for integrating Indigenous Knowledge Systems in higher education institutions. Adopting a mixed-method research design, the study assesses teachers’ conceptual understanding of IKS, pedagogical competencies, attitudes, selfefficacy, and institutional support mechanisms. Quantitative data were collected from 250 higher education teachers using a structured questionnaire, while qualitative insights were obtained through semi-structured interviews with 30 faculty members and classroom observations of 15 courses. The findings indicate that although teachers generally demonstrate positive attitudes toward IKS integration, their overall preparedness remains moderate. Gaps were identified in conceptual clarity, pedagogical skills, and confidence, alongside structural constraints such as rigid curricula and limited professional development opportunities. The study proposes a multidimensional framework for enhancing teacher preparedness, emphasizing conceptual grounding, pedagogical innovation, attitudinal transformation, and institutional support. Strengthening teacher preparedness is essential to ensure that Indigenous Knowledge Systems are meaningfully integrated into higher education rather than remaining symbolic additions.

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a structural pivot in India’s higher education, transitioning from a rigid disciplinary framework to a multidisciplinary, Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (RIE) focused ecosystem. This paper assesses the integration of these three pillars in NEP-aligned institutions. By examining the roles of the National Research Foundation (NRF) and the implementation of Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities (MERU), the study highlights how institutions are moving beyond traditional "knowledge dissemination" toward "knowledge commercialization." Through a comparative analysis and case studies of leading Indian universities, this research identifies key success factors, such as the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) and Technology Business Incubators (TBIs), while also addressing the socio-economic friction points in rural-urban institutional divides.
