Indian Knowledge System in Strengthening the Value System

The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) represents a comprehensive and holistic tradition of knowledge that integrates ethics, philosophy, spirituality, and practical life. Rooted in classical texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita, IKS emphasizes moral values, self-discipline, and social responsibility. In the modern era, where ethical degradation and materialism are increasingly prevalent, the relevance of IKS has grown significantly. This paper examines how IKS contributes to strengthening the value system by promoting principles such as Dharma (righteousness), Karma (action), and Ahimsa (non-violence). It also explores the role of IKS in education, leadership, and social harmony, while highlighting its relevance in addressing contemporary challenges.
