Abstract: The Indian knowledge system, which sees Intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual development as interrelated, promotes holistic development. This issue examines the theoretical and practical challenges of integrating the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) into higher education curricula. This issue highlights traditional knowledge, beliefs, cultural and fundamental practices, and social bonds. This issue examines how essential elements such as yoga, Ayurveda, Vedic mathematics, and Indian philosophy can be incorporated into the contemporary education system, from the corporate sector, to promote a holistic approach to learning. The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) offers a multifaceted pedagogical approach. The findings indicate that implementing IKS concepts can lead to more holistic and sustainable educational institutions. Indian knowledge systems emphasise physical wellness through yoga, Ayurveda, martial arts, and other practices that promote strength, balance, and a healthy lifestyle. They see the body as an essential tool for learning and emphasise discipline, a healthy lifestyle, and harmony with nature. Indian knowledge systems place special emphasis on self-realisation, meditation, and introspection as means of spiritual development. They emphasise an ethical lifestyle, peace, and the interdependence of the individual and the social consciousness.
