An Ancient Knowledge system and Modern Education based on digital literacy: A comparative Analysis

Abstract

. It needs an hour of comparison between ancient Knowledge system and Modern era education which is based on digital device.Indian education system since the ancient time period stands for its depth and holistic  approach.It's a  complete mixture of spirituality , intellectually and culturally developed by the institutions like Gurukuls ,Takshashila and Nalanda. In the texts like the Upanishads,Vedas,  and Arthashastra, this system focussed on ethics and  critical thinking along with character building. Its approach was interdisciplinary and subjects include life skills and social welfare.

 The relationship between teacher and student was based on mutual respect. 

In recent times, The New Education Policy 2020 and Indian knowledge system  A Viksit Bharat Vision -2047  approach aligns with contemporary requirements for interdisciplinary studies and soft skills. The purpose of the study is how we can incorporate the values and scientific management through our  ancient education system. Furthermore,

 How can we fulfill the vision of Viksit Bharat  by adopting the ancient wisdom with modern technologies? How can the Indian education system cultivate worldwide well-rounded and  socially conscious individuals?

 The study argues that while IKS embodied many dispositions and capacities now framed as 21st-century skills (critical thinking, creativity, collaborative learning, ethical reasoning), the institutional forms, pedagogies, and socio-cultural aims of ancient education were distinct — approving holistic formation, beliefs responsibilities, and describes communication wisely . In nutshell  this  paper concludes by proposing a favorable way for contemporary curricula that respect the epistemic integrity of the Indian knowledge system and preparing for the challenges of the modern era.
