Chairperson of the Centre

The Centre of Excellence for Indian Knowledge Systems (CoE-IKS) is geared to support and strengthen the Government’s resolve to create ātmanirbhara bhārata; to serve as a bridge between the vision of an IKS centered education espoused NEP 2020 and the levels of awareness, preparation and competency required to accomplish the same. The Centre currently resounds with dynamic and experienced ‘Core Faculty members’, ‘Research Scholars’ and the collaborative association with a gallery of distinguished scholarly and industry based stalwarts and institutions  in various capacities. In just a little above two years, CoE-IKS has created a comprehensive knowledge repository by virtue of two museums,  national and international conferences/seminars/workshops, collaborations, publications, research projects, consultancy, teaching, extension to name a few. The leap onward is envisioned by way of a Micro Specialization in IKS and eventually full fledged undergraduate and postgraduate programms in IKS and across various disciplines of IKS. Interns, research scholars and post-doc fellows across multi, inter, intra and transdisciplinary arenas are invited to step forward onto the beckoning horizons of IKS - reclaiming the lost, mainstreaming the hind and integrating-complementing-substituting world cosmologies.
