Abstract: The study examines the need to reimagine Indian education through the integration of indigenous wisdom and global knowledge systems to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat. It explores the relevance of indigenous knowledge systems in fostering holistic, value-based education and highlights their role in promoting ethical awareness, cultural identity, and sustainability. Simultaneously, the study analyzes the contribution of global knowledge systems in enhancing innovation, critical thinking, and competitiveness within the Indian educational context. Drawing upon a qualitative, literature-based methodology, the research critically reviews policy frameworks, particularly the National Education Policy 2020, along with scholarly perspectives on Indian Knowledge Systems and global education trends. The findings reveal that a balanced integration of traditional and modern knowledge paradigms is essential for creating an inclusive and future-ready education system. The study also identifies key challenges such as curriculum rigidity, lack of teacher preparedness, and resource constraints, and suggests strategic interventions for effective implementation. It concludes that a synergistic approach can transform Indian education into a dynamic system aligned with national development and global engagement.
