Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) Cell

Indian Knowledge System Cell
National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra

 The Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) Cell is an innovative initiative established in 2022 at the Institute, under the aegis of the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It was launched with the vision of promoting and integrating India’s rich intellectual traditions into modern academic and research frameworks. Rooted in the diverse cultural and philosophical heritage of our nation, the IKS Cell is committed to fostering interdisciplinary research that draws upon indigenous knowledge systems and practices.

The Cell’s primary objective is to explore, preserve, and disseminate traditional Indian knowledge across a wide array of disciplines, including Basic Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Psychology, Arts and Literature, Agriculture, and Architecture. It aims to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary scientific inquiry, ensuring that India’s time-honoured approaches are not only preserved but also adapted to address current societal challenges.
