This paper explores the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) as a foundational pillar of this vision. Rooted in centuries-old traditions of holistic wisdom, science, arts, and ethics, IKS represents a comprehensive worldview that combines sustainability, self-reliance, spiritual insight, and rational inquiry. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the paper demonstrates how IKS can guide contemporary development in education, governance, agriculture, health, environmental sustainability, and innovation. The re-integration of IKS into national policy and consciousness, especially through NEP 2020 and various government initiatives, is essential for realizing the dream of a Viksit Bharat that is not only economically strong but also culturally and spiritually enriched.
