Indian Knowledge Systems

An initiative created by alumni of IIT and IISC inspired by IKS and guided by Anaadi Foundation. Teach for IKS brings Indian Knowledge Systems to students.
We are born to a treasury of wisdom; every Indian has a right to open it—let the next generation learn it well, and let Bharat remember itself.
