New Delhi: A 21-book series on the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) was released at an event organised at Delhi University on Thursday, with speakers stressing the need to integrate India's traditional knowledge, scientific heritage and civilisational thought into modern higher education.

RSS Sah Sarkaryavah Krishna Gopal said Vidya Bharati Uchcha Shiksha Sansthan has been collaborating with universities and schools nationwide to promote IKS-based learning.

He said the organisation runs over 13,000 schools serving 35 lakh students and offers education from pre-school to doctoral levels.

Gopal said the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has created space for incorporating IKS into mainstream curricula and stressed the need to rediscover India's intellectual heritage in areas such as astronomy and geometry.

Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood said the city's school curriculum has been redesigned to help students form early connections with Indian traditions and knowledge frameworks.

The event at DU's Convention Hall in the Vice Regal Lodge was attended by DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh, former GB-IKS head Professor Anil D Sahasrabudhe, and Vidya Bharati Uchcha Shiksha Sansthan president Professor Kailash Chandra Sharma.
