Paper Title
Relevance of Ancient Education in Modern Classroom: A contribution towards Indian Knowledge System
Authors

Abstract
Education has always been a cornerstone of human civilization, shaping societies and fostering intellectual and moral development. Across the world, ancient civilizations established unique systems of learning to promote knowledge and societal progress. In India, the indigenous Gurukul system served as an exemplary model of holistic education, emphasizing not only academic learning but also character building, discipline, and the cultivation of values. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents a significant paradigm shift in India's educational landscape by integrating Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into mainstream curricula. This inclusion reflects a growing recognition of the relevance of traditional wisdom in enhancing modern pedagogy and fostering a more contextually grounded education. In the ancient Gurukul system, teachers, revered as Gurus, played a selfless and transformative role in imparting knowledge that encompassed intellectual, theoretical, practical, and moral dimensions. Education extended beyond mere academic learning to include subjects such as philosophy, science, art, and warfare, ensuring the all-round development of the learner.
This paper examines the Gurukul system's principles and practices and explores their adaptation for modern classrooms to create holistic, meaningful, and culturally grounded learning experiences. By bridging ancient wisdom with modern innovation, education can remain both meaningful and future-oriented.
