Abstract Student engagement is fundamental to success in science education, especially at the higher secondary level, where learners face abstract concepts and increased academic pressure. With the changing learning preferences of today's digital native learners, incorporating Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into structured science learning packages offers a powerful pedagogical solution. This article examines how IKS-infused learning packages combining traditional knowledge, ICT tools, inquiry-based tasks, and competency-driven learning outcomes can strengthen cognitive, behavioural, and emotional engagement in science classrooms. Drawing from NEP2020 vision, educational psychology and contemporary educational research, the paper demonstrates how integrating IKS elements such as ancient astronomy, environmental ethics, Ayurveda-based biological classifications, traditional metallurgy, and mathematical reasoning from the Sulbasutras can support conceptual understanding. This article proposes a framework for designing IKS integrated learning packages. The article concludes that such integrated packages can make science learning relevant, locally grounded, culturally enriching, and more engaging for today’s learners.
