Accepted Answer

Programs offered by BSVHU will be useful for all age groups and all sectors of the society. Let us understand that as per the National Educational Policy 2020, there will be revolution and radical change in the education system in India. Now every UG & PG student has to acquire minimum of 5 % credits from IKS out of the total credits required for achieving total credits for a degree. Apart from this, central government is trying to apply all indigenous, ancient and traditional Indian models based on Indian Knowledge System in every field and every sector of the society, social life, governance, trade, commerce, agriculture, education, health sector, etc. At the other end, we experience that the so called modern western models are getting defeated and failed around us. E.g. Allopathy does not have solutions for many ultra-modern diseases and Ayurveda has a deep sense preventive health. Another example is multinational companies mislead Indian population about the quality of food and drugs. Let us understand that the country as a whole is getting ready for revival and transformation as ancient traditional glorious India. People with any age group working in any field can join Masters and Associate Programs and convert the knowledge into an opportunity in the next few decades. They will be the change leaders and lead the change happening around us. So you may be working in any government organization, teacher, professor, doctor, lawyer, CA, engineer, architect or graduate degree holder in any field you can think about Masters and Associate Programs as a supportive or alternative career. It will enlighten you at the individual level and will help you to create a change in society in a professional way.

Technology, especially social media is helping for its spread. Indians are getting many higher posts in USA government and USA corporate world as well as many international organizations. Another important benefit is that India is the youngest country in the world. So young Indians will lead and rule the future world. Indians empowered with the foundation of Sanatan Bharatiya Jnan Parampara and Hindu Dharma Jnan are having huge career opportunities all over the globe. Besides, you will see that United Nations and other world organizations are talking about the concept of sustainable development and arguing the world to follow it.

IKS i.e. Indian Knowledge System is the knowledge system which is existing in India since thousands of years. It has a very huge base of knowledge, and it includes traditional, indigenous knowledge which is in practice till today. The whole range of knowledge systems under IKS is multifarious, from the Vedas, and Upanishads to scriptural, philosophical, scientific, technological and artistic sources. The disciplines and domains of knowledge include logic, philosophy, language, technology and crafts, polity, economics and governance, ethics and sociological orders, architecture and engineering, pure sciences, earth sciences, biosciences, poetics and aesthetics, law and justice, grammar, mathematics and astronomy, metrics, agriculture, mining, metallurgy, trade and commerce, Ayurveda and Yog, medicine and life sciences, geography, military science, weaponry, shipbuilding, navigation and maritime traditions, biology, and veterinary science, music, dance, drama, carvings, paintings, spirituality, divinity, civilization study, culture & heritage, etc. This major knowledge tradition called as 14 Vidyas - theoretical domains - and 64 Kalas - crafts, skill sets, and arts-that are useful in day-to-day living.

Question 39

Why IKS – Indian Knowledge System has become so important?

Accepted Answer

The Central Government and Ministry of Education are insisting and putting emphasis on education and skills based on ancient Indian Knowledge System which are indigenous, traditional, still relevant in many sectors, and trustworthy. Unfortunately, since British era & after independence till 2014, IKS was neglected and underestimated. Besides we see that the so-called modern western concepts and ideas are failing repeatedly all over the world. Great transformation and radical change are happening around us at local and global level and the basis of this change will be Indian Knowledge System (IKS). IKS will be the brand of India. National Education Policy NEP 2020 has written a roadmap for this change. It will be not only limited to the education sector, but the change will transform each and every sector of life around us. The great IKS wave has just begun, and it will grow for a minimum of next 4 to 5 decades. It will expand not only in India but all over the world. It is expected that 5 million new jobs will be generated in Indian Knowledge System i.e. IKS in the next few decades. Every wise person or student of any age should understand this change which is happening silently, and he should get ready to lead this IKS wave by acquiring the expertise in Indian Knowledge System i.e. IKS. The Diploma Courses of Bhishma School of Indian Knowledge System will open the doors of a bright and long-term future for everyone who can sense and experience the transformation happening in the country. Students who will join at an early stage will be highly benefited. Apart from individual benefits, they will share immense contributions to the country and the world.

Question 40

What is the IKS wave? Please define. On which basis, it is said that there will be a requirement of 5 million employees in the field of Indian knowledge System (IKS)?

Accepted Answer

Central Government through Ministry of Education is now transforming entire education system in India. Government has introduced National Education Policy - NEP 2020. It has clearly described the roadmap for transformation of education sector in next 10 to 15 years. Government is now insisting on study, research and implementation of ancient Indian knowledge system for future education development in our country. Recently Education Minister has made an open statement that Indian knowledge System has solutions for the challenges faced by the world today. Government is trying to reinvent and apply the ancient traditional knowledge.

But where are the experts in Indian Knowledge System? Where are the faculty in IKS? Where are the teachers in IKS? Where is the syllabus and curriculum developed for IKS?  As you see, IKS is at very initial stage in the country. it will require huge IKS educated manpower to implement NEP 2020 in a fruitful way. There are 1113 universities 43796 colleges and 11296 standalone institutions as of 2021. They all will require people with IKS qualification. At present, no one is offering any exclusive course in IKS (Except Bhishma School of IKS). If we assume that each above institution requires minimum 10 persons with qualification in IKS (1113+43796+11296 = 56205x10 = 5,62,050). It will be a half million requirement. Apart from this, there are 11,96,265 primary schools, 1,50,452 secondary schools and 1,42,398 higher secondary schools. Let us assume that they require only two persons with IKS qualification, there will be 3 million requirements of IKS qualified people. (11,96,265+1,50,452+1,42,398=14,89,115 say 15 lakhs x 2=30 lakhs.)
 
Beside there are many other sectors where there will be a huge requirement of people with qualification in Indian Knowledge System (IKS). Corporate, industry, business houses, media & entertainment houses, Socio-Cultural organizations, temples, religious and spiritual organizations will also need people with IKS qualifications.

Question 41

What is the NEP 2020? Where it has been referred?

Accepted Answer

NEP 2020 is the National Education Policy by Central Government.  Ministry of Education is implementing it throughout the country in step by step manner from 2021. It will drastically change the scenario of education sector in the country. It has emphasize on the study and application of ancient Indian Knowledge System in the future education system of the country. 
Few recommendations are as below…
