IIKS has the dual responsibility to inspire and educate the KKSU academic community (students and faculty) about Vedic sciences and their applications, and reach out to the larger audience of knowledge seeking professionals. SVS programs are designed to groom the next generation of professionals who have the advantage of integrating the knowledge imbibed from Vedic Sciences with modern education and technology and applying it in contemporary areas of work and research that impact socially and benefit individually.
Hence, four types of courses are on the agenda.

The subjects of Vedic education in its purest form as traditionally studied up to two centuries ago are called the Chaturdasha Vidya Sthaanas. They are broadly categorized as Varna-based and Ashrama-based. While the former provide the conceptual knowledge relevant to one’s Varna (or area of interest or profession), the latter deal with applying that knowledge in various stages of one’s life.
The modern education system deals with different perspectives of Nature or human activity as separate subjects of study, e.g, physics, chemistry, mathematics, management, politics, sociology, engineering etc. Hence, these two streams approach education in different ways. Seen below are the different subjects of study under various Vedic streams. IIKS intends to offer courses based on the Vedic stream classification, and prescribe various combinations of them to serve different contemporary educational streams. This is to preserve the integrated approach of Vedic education.
