into curriculums at all levels of education; in line with this, the National Credit Framework

Rasayanasastra initiative.In the 2022-2023 budget, IKS's financial allocation was doubled to
₹20 crore (US$2.4 million).
Under University Grants Commission (UGC)
guidelines, it is advised that 5 per cent of a student's total credits should be in IKS courses at
the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.[9] The UGC aims to train 1.5 million teachers in
IKS by 2025,[2] and has launched an online IKS MOOC course2023 budget, IKS's financial

the profound heritage of ancient and enduring Indian
knowledge and philosophy as a guiding principle. The Indian
Knowledge Systems encompass Jñāna, Vijñāna, and Jīvan
Darśan, which have evolved through experience, observation,
experimentation, and thorough analysis. This tradition of
validation and practical application has significantly influenced
various facets of our society, including education, arts,
administration, law, justice, health, manufacturing, and
commerce. It has also left its mark on classical and other
languages of Bharat, transmitted through textual, oral, and
artistic traditions. In this context, "Knowledge of India"
encompasses wisdom from ancient India, along with its
achievements, challenges, and India's future aspirations,
particularly in the realms of education, health, environment,
and all aspects of life.

independent course in the technical and non-technical diploma/ UG/PG
