Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: This study explores the potential of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). IKS represents a holistic approach to knowledge deeply rooted in India’s cultural and traditional practices, encompassing diverse fields such as medicine, agriculture, architecture, and governance. As such the present paper intends to trace relevance of IKS in achieving SDGs. Based on secondary sources, the paper finds that the rich repository of IKS is characterized by its sustainable and inclusive nature, offering valuable insights and solutions to contemporary global challenges. IKS, with its emphasis on harmony with nature, community-based approaches, and respect for diversity, aligns closely with the ethos of the SDGs. By integrating IKS into sustainable development strategies, there is a unique opportunity to leverage traditional wisdom for addressing modern-day issues. – Reproduced
