A Certificate Course in Indian Knowledge System (IKS) of 30 hours
duration in hybrid mode commenced at Aggarwal College on September
11, 2025. This marks the beginning of the second batch to pursue this
course. This course is being organised under the aegis of Indian
Knowledge System.
The inaugural session emphasized the relevance of Indian Knowledge
Systems in the modern era, highlighting how age-old wisdom on
sustainability, ethics, and holistic living can be integrated with
contemporary education. The discussions also encouraged students to
reconnect with India’s intellectual and cultural legacy.
On the same day, participants were also introduced to the benefits of
medicinal plants as part of IKS. Examples included Tulsi, known for
boosting immunity and respiratory health; Ashwagandha, recognized for
reducing stress and improving vitality; Turmeric, valued for its anti
inflammatory and healing properties; and Neem, noted for its
antibacterial uses. The session highlighted how such plants, deeply
embedded in India’s traditional knowledge systems, continue to play a
vital role in sustainable wellness practices even today.
The Session was attended by Ms. Preeti Sharma, Ms. Parul Singla, Ms. Nisha,
Ms. Prerna, Ms. Geetanjali, and Ms. Shalu actively engaged throughout. The
gathering wrapped up with lively discussions, where participants voiced thanks
and reflected on key takeaways. The college plans to organise more such skill-
enhancement programs in the future.
The course is being coordinated by in-house experts, with Dr. Sarika
Kanjlia serving as Convenor and Inayat Chaudhary as Co-Convenor of the
Indian Knowledge System program. Both reiterated that the course aims
to bridge traditional knowledge with modern pedagogy, fostering
interdisciplinary learning and cultural awareness among participants.
