IP University to establish Indian Knowledge System Centre to align with ancient ‘guru-shishya parampara
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has announced the establishment of a new centre focused on reviving India's traditional educational values and knowledge heritage. Named the In-Situ Centre for Indian Knowledge System and Technology Innovation (CIKTSI), the initiative will be housed at the university's Dwarka campus, said an official statement of GGSIPU.
It aims to align closely with the ancient 'guru-shishya parampara' — a tradition rooted in experiential learning, mentorship and holistic development, the statement added.
GGSIPU Vice Chancellor Mahesh Verma emphasized the philosophical foundation of the centre.
'This initiative is rooted in the vision of blending India's ancient wisdom with modern education and research. It echoes the essence of the guru-shishya parampara, which has always emphasized mentorship, experiential learning and character formation,' he said.
The centre will initially be run in self-financed mode from the University School of Education under the leadership of its Dean Prof. Saroj Sharma, the statement said.
A multidisciplinary working committee, comprising the members from various academic schools of the university will guide the centre's integrated development, it added.
Prof. Sharma highlighted that the vision behind CIKTSI is deeply inspired by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which advocates for the integration of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into mainstream education.
'The centre will foster collaboration across disciplines and promote innovation grounded in India's rich intellectual traditions,' she said.
The centre will serve as a hub for a wide range of activities, including curriculum development incorporating IKS, creation of new IKS-based courses, promotion of interdisciplinary research and innovation, skill and capacity building, entrepreneurship incubation, industry collaboration, digital preservation, community outreach and global academic partnerships.
According to the university, CIKTSI will also contribute towards cultural revival, sustainable development and strengthening of national identity by bridging traditional knowledge with contemporary applications.

China joins US in brain implant race with successful clinical trial test
Chinese researchers used brain-computer interfaces, or BCI, a wireless invasive implant in a patient with tetraplegia in March Bloomberg China's first clinical trial of a technology that allows signals from the brain to control an external device has proved successful, making it only the second country after the US to reach this stage, according to the Global Times. Chinese researchers used brain-computer interfaces, or BCI, a wireless invasive implant in a patient with tetraplegia in March, the English-language newspaper reported. Only a few weeks after the surgery, the patient was able to play racing games and chess on the computer using only the mind to control the electronic devices, it said, citing a statement from the Shanghai-based Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology. BCI is an emerging technology to help restore functionality to people with paralysis, and Neuralink Corp., co-founded by Elon Musk, is at the forefront of this research. The implant used in the Chinese trial is the world's smallest so far, with a diameter of 26 millimeters and thickness less than 6 millimeters, the Global Times said, adding that it's over 100 times more flexible than the one developed by Neuralink. For the next stage, the team plans to enable the patient to operate a robotic arm using thoughts to perform more complex physical actions as such grasping and holding a cup. The center launched the trial in collaboration with Fudan University's Huashan Hospital. Beijing has reported some experiments with implants by startup companies over the past months, but the clinical trial shows China is in a tight race with the US in developing this frontier technology. The center said the BCI system could get approval from the authorities, and be able to enter the market as early as 2028.
