        abstract = {The increasing prevalence of stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation among students highlights the urgent need for holistic mental health strategies in modern education. Drawing from Yoga, Ayurveda, classical Indian philosophy, mindfulness traditions, and Gurukul pedagogy, the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) offers a culturally grounded and scientifically validated framework for promoting mental well-being. This chapter critically examines how IKS can be integrated into contemporary schooling, evaluates empirical evidence from recent studies (mainly 2023–2025), and proposes an implementation ready methodological model for educators and policymakers. Findings suggest that IKS based practices significantly support emotional resilience, attentional stability, and behavioural regulation, offering a sustainable pathway to holistic student development.},
