The Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems will put into place a research-development-practice paradigm of Indian knowledge systems that could play a vital role in enriching education. Its mission is to create new knowledge and skills to build capacity for a sustainable knowledge system. This paradigm advocates progress tempered with environmental conservation and respect for ecologically sustainable practices. By using a scientific process that is rigorous and systemic, research in these knowledge systems will then be disseminated into cutting edge professional development programs.
