He explained how IKS can play a huge role in transforming the education system, if only we were ready to look. Finally, he appealed to all the teaching faculty present to devote some time from their busy schedules to find out the parallels to what they are teaching in IKS and pass that information and knowledge to the students, which will encourage the young generation to explore more.

AICTE Chairman, Shri A. D. Saharabudhe, welcomed all the guests present. He explained how the IKS and IKS Centres came into being established and how AICTE is going about supporting the same. He also thanked the authors and PHI Learning as the publisher of the book.
