The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) includes traditional ideas, skills, and practices developed in India over many centuries. Tribal communities are an important part of this system as they have preserved rich knowledge related to nature, health, agriculture, culture, and social life. However, the modern education system often ignores tribal ways of learning, which creates difficulties for tribal students in schools and colleges. This paper studies the relationship between Indian Knowledge Systems and tribal education. It focuses on teaching and learning strategies that suit tribal students. The paper explains traditional tribal learning methods, challenges faced by tribal learners, and suggests simple and inclusive strategies to improve education by using IKS.
