Welcome to the Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems (CIKS) at Netaji Subhas Open University, Kolkata, established in accordance with the guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC). The Centre embodies our commitment to exploring, preserving, and promoting the vast intellectual heritage of India, encompassing its philosophy, science, technology, literature, education systems, art, culture, and sustainability practices.
The primary mission of the Centre is to bridge traditional knowledge with contemporary academic research and societal application. Through systematic documentation, interdisciplinary research, training programmes, seminars, digital learning resources, and collaborative initiatives, the Centre aims to make authentic knowledge accessible to learners, researchers, and educators across diverse disciplines.
We envision the Centre as a platform that nurtures thoughtful engagement with India’s knowledge traditions and encourages academic inquiry across disciplines. By integrating classical knowledge with contemporary educational approaches, the Centre seeks to support meaningful learning, stimulate research, and create opportunities for wider dissemination of ideas that remain relevant today.
