Abstract	In today's globalized and technology-driven world, a pressing challenge for higher education is to develop not only skilled professionals but also ethically aware and socially responsible citizens. Modern academic systems frequently prioritize technical competencies and career readiness, which can marginalize the essential role of education in fostering holistic personal growth. To address this gap, the profound wisdom within Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) offers a vital resource. Encompassing ancient philosophical, cultural, and pedagogical traditions, IKS provides a foundational framework for instilling Universal Human Values (UHV) including truth, non-violence, duty, compassion, and respect for all life. This paper investigates the purposeful synthesis of IKS and UHV within higher learning to advance Value-Based Education. It delves into the philosophical underpinnings of these traditions and explores practical methods for their application. The study analyzes adaptable pedagogical models, potential curriculum enhancements, and supportive institutional practices designed to harmonize timeless wisdom with contemporary academic demands. The central argument posits that such integration can significantly enrich the educational experience, cultivating in students a stronger ethical compass, a sense of social harmony, an orientation toward sustainable living, and the mindset of a conscientious global citizen. Ultimately, the research underscores the timely relevance of this fusion for the evolving educational landscape. It concludes by proposing a concrete implementation framework to guide higher education institutions in embedding these principles systematically. By bridging the depth of indigenous knowledge with universal ethical principles, education can more fully realize its transformative potential in developing balanced and purposeful individuals.
