Author Profile(s)
Book Series / Collection
Overview
Indian Knowledge System, Education Policy and Institutional Governance examines education as a civilisational and institutional process rather than only a system of examinations, credentials, and administration. It argues that modern education can become more holistic, ethical, culturally rooted, and institutionally responsible when it engages seriously with Indian intellectual and educational traditions while retaining scientific, constitutional, and global perspectives.
The book studies the Indian educational vision, guru-shishya tradition and institutional culture, educational governance in ancient India, NEP 2020, value-based school governance, teacher education, and institutional leadership. Its concluding IKS-Based Model for Modern Educational Institutions integrates knowledge, values, critical reasoning, social responsibility, teacher development, community connection, multidisciplinary learning, and accountable governance.
