National Youth Conference on Indian Knowledge Systems
3 to 5 February 2023
India’s youth population in the age group of 15-29 years comprise 27.2 per cent of the population for 2021, about 38 crores. Today, it is exciting to note, that Indic thought and wisdom is beginning to catch the attention over the last decade, with the world increasingly realizing, the flaws and limitations of the current model of individual and societal development.
The world faces various challenges for sustainable development that can no longer be ignored. Our responsibility is to move toward building communities where sustainability, inclusivity, and values are the buzzwords, and great enthusiasm and initiative are created to explore and understand the knowledge traditions of ancient India.
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 also captures this spirit and has given a much-needed thrust not only for the inclusion of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in the national curriculum and pedagogy but also for promoting authentic research and innovation in the domain to address the challenges and concerns of the 21st century. Therefore, encouraging, guiding, and curating platforms and opportunities, especially for young scholars and researchers, is essential.
Indian Knowledge System Division of MoE at AICTE, New Delhi has been encouraging youth to do research in Indic knowledge systems by proving internships and opportunities.
