Local Knowledge Roots for Global Welfare

The founders of the Institute for Indic Knowledge Studies (IIKS) believe that for all-round welfare and elevation of the society, deep, dispassionate understanding and application of India’s knowledge heritage is essential. In addition, keen acumen (called Viveka in Samskrit) is required to apply Indic insights in the current context. India’s native educational tradition has excellent methodologies to cultivate the necessary intellectual and emotional culture among youth. However, mainstream education system has so far ignored the Indic dimension.

IIKS is launched to impart the necessary culture to the next generation of individuals and prepare them for this noble work ahead. We feel that the time is ripe, since the primary passion of youth is broadening from economic prosperity to societal impact.
