        abstract = {The Indian Knowledge System (IKS), when incorporated into the National Education Policy (NEP), offers a valuable opportunity to enrich education with its rich traditions and insights. The 2020 framework lays a solid foundation for sustainability, rooted in tradition, innovation, and inclusivity. IKS involves passing knowledge across generations, primarily through structured texts such as Vedic literature, including the Upanishads, Vedas, and Upavedas, which provide deep insights into ancient wisdom. It highlights the interconnectedness of all life, viewing nature as a manifestation of the divine. Plants such as Neem, Tulsi, and Peepal are worshipped, encouraging sustainable planting practices. India has historically been a center of knowledge, with renowned universities like Nalanda, Takshashila, and Magadh. Developed through experience, observation, experimentation, and analysis, IKS focuses on sustainable development. This paper examines the role of IKS in promoting sustainability.},
