IKS Training in Universities/Colleges
As part of its institutional outreach and capacity-building initiatives, the Centre for Indic Studies at Indus University has actively conducted teacher training programmes under the framework of its academic collaborations and MoUs. These programmes are designed to equip educators with the conceptual clarity, methodological tools, and pedagogical approaches required for effectively teaching Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in contemporary academic settings. Recognizing that the success of IKS integration depends significantly on well-trained instructors, the Centre places strong emphasis on developing faculty competence across disciplines.
Over the years, the Centre has successfully trained teachers, professors, and academic practitioners from a range of reputed institutions. These include KLE College of Pharmacy, GLA University, Banasthali Vidyapeeth, Gujarat University, Ramakrishna Mission etc. as well as independent academic platforms such as Young Thinkers’ Forum. The training programmes are interdisciplinary in nature and cater to educators from fields including engineering, sciences, humanities, management, and pharmacy.
These sessions typically combine lectures, textual engagement, and interactive discussions, enabling participants to understand both the foundational principles and applied dimensions of IKS. By fostering a network of trained educators across institutions, the Centre continues to play a crucial role in strengthening the ecosystem of IKS education and ensuring its effective dissemination in classrooms across the country.
