Abstract	The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) offers a profound frame for sustainable development, embedded in centuries-old wisdom and practices. It emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating environmental stewardship, social equity, and profitable viability. crucial rudiments include sustainable husbandry, traditional water operation, and biodiversity conservation, all reflecting a deep respect for nature. Philosophical principles similar as Dharma (duty) and Ahimsa(nonviolence) companion ethical relations with the terrain and society. By harmonizing traditional knowledge with ultramodern invention, IKS provides precious perceptivity and strategies for achieving sustainable development pretensions, icing the well- being of current and unborn generations. 1.1 Ancient Indian Knowledge System (IKS) 1.1.1 Srutis –vedas- what was head from god .Mahabharat is also colled 5th veda 1.1Smrities –what was remembered and is believed to contain the percept of god.

The term "darshan" means "to see" or "vision," and these schools offer different perspectives or ways of "seeing" reality and achieving spiritual liberation. Each school is associated with a specific sage, such as Gautama for Nyaya, Kanad for Vaisheshika, Kapila for Samkhya, Patanjali for Yoga, and Vyasa for Vedanta. 1.1.4 Digest and commentaries Mitakhara byVijnaneshwara Dayabhaga by Jimutvahana According to tradition, there are 64 kalas, or applied or vocational fields, and 18 major vidyas, or theoretical disciplines. The 18 vidyas are the four Vedas, the four attachment Vedas (Ayurveda – drug, Dhanurveda – artillery, Gandharvaveda – music and Silpa – armature), Purana, Nyaya, Mimamsa, Dharmasastra and Vedanga, the six supplementary lores, phonetics, alphabet, astronomy, ritual, and philology — these formed the base of the 18 lores in ancient India. Recitations of 64 contradict each other with regard to the applicable knowledge as sustainable development. Sustainable development is also a concern for the environmental issues and climate change.
