"Study the Past to Define the Future"
Bridging Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
India (Bharat) has been known for its rich civilizational and cultural heritage. The great civilization of Bharat has been renowned from the west to the east of the world for millennia. Undoubtedly, Bharat is known for very rich scientific and technological knowledge that not only shaped India but also contributed to the growth of other parts of the world.
The broad term Indian Knowledge System (IKS) encompasses Vedic sciences, spirituality, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and metallurgy, Āyurveda, civil engineering, architecture, ship building, Artha shāstra, yoga, art, classical music and more. All these sub-disciplines thrived over millennia with numerous treatises that stand as testimony to the contributions of our great ancestors.
The traditional knowledge with a holistic approach and newer scientific advancements with a reductionistic approach offer a great and valuable platform to build a resilient future for any nation. Reconnecting and revitalizing the Indian Knowledge Systems for the modern world is essential for building a sustainable and equitable world with a moral order.
This National Conference aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary scientific dialogue by bridging ancient wisdom with modern science. We bring together scholars and enthusiastic students from different disciplines to encourage interest in this field and motivate exploration, research, and possible collaboration.
In alignment with the National Educational Policy (2020), we emphasize revisiting and integrating ancient Indian knowledge to revitalize and understand IKS with a modern scientific perspective.
