Despite significant structural growth, the current Indian sociology-educational scene is experiencing a serious character crisis. Ethical growth has been marginalised by the exclusive focus on high-stakes exam achievement, commercialised coaching cultures, and career ambitions determined by the market. Rising student suicide rates, pervasive academic distress, intolerance on campus, and a growing disengagement from civic duties are all signs of this systemic imbalance. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 specifically requires that the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) be incorporated into the regular curriculum in order to solve these pressing national issues. This abstract offers a thorough justification for incorporating moral education with an IKS foundation into Indian schools and universities, changing the country’s educational paradigm from literacy to full character development (Samskara). IKS-based moral frameworks are urgently needed because they can localise ethics, making them culturally relevant and inherently binding for young Indians. IKS uses indigenous notions like Dharma (cosmic and civic morality) to foster an internalised conscience instead of imposing abstract, foreign ethical rules. Education shifts from dry textbook notions of morality to a lived obligation toward family, society, and the country by reintroducing Dharma. In addition, the contemporary Indian student faces intense digital distractions, isolation, and intense competition. Ashtanga yoga and pranayama, two traditional mind-training techniques, provide quick, non-clinical ways to deal with this cognitive overload. By fostering mental stability (Chitta Vritti Nirodha), these activities provide pupils with the emotional balance they need to succeed in India’s very competitive educational system. In terms of philosophy, the curriculum makes use of fundamental text-neutral ideas that specifically address India’s pervasive socioeconomic problems.
