Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a significant policy shift in India’s education landscape, emphasizing the revival, integration, and promotion of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). This study explore the effectiveness of government policies—particularly the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020—in promoting, integrating, and institutionalizing Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) within India’s contemporary education landscape. There are also other objective to examine the effectiveness of government initiatives introduced under NEP 2020 to strengthen IKS across school and higher education. It examines policy provisions, implementation strategies, institutional frameworks, and outcomes related to curriculum development, research promotion, teacher training, and digital dissemination of traditional knowledge. Using a qualitative analysis of government documents, academic literature, and emerging case studies, the paper assesses how these measures have contributed to increasing awareness, academic legitimacy, and interdisciplinary engagement with IKS. Findings indicate that NEP 2020 has significantly elevated the visibility and academic legitimacy of Indian Knowledge Systems while fostering new opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural awareness. However, sustained progress requires greater investment in capacity building, quality assurance, and collaborative research ecosystems. The study concludes with policy recommendations aimed at strengthening the integration of IKS within India’s education system to ensure its long-term relevance and contribution to national development.
