The New Education Policy rolled out by Government of India in 2020 has also focused upon this ancient Indian educational pedagogy. This article is an attempt to highlight the relevance of reorienting our present educational structure towards the ancient educational system, which was considered to be the best system of imparting value based and morally structured education among common masses. This article elaborates the relevance of knowledge acquisition, knowledge discrimination and knowledge mining from the ancient education system point of view as well as it’s relevance in the present day education system. This article is an attempt to elaborate the philosophy of Ancient Indian education system through the insight of the knowledge and use of this knowledge which helps in restoring and restructuring of human moral values for society and nation building rather than just gaining it without a defined purpose. In this article, it has been emphasized that for rejuvenating and restructuring the present Indian Education System and provide a national moral value to the education system, we need to understand the outstanding characteristics of Indian Ancient philosophy of life, that revolved around the concept of Karma. And as such it is need of the hour to have a holistic approach in the Present Education System based on our Ancient Education System of India, which provides both physical as well as spiritual solitariness. This article has emphasized on the fact that in order to bring back ancient glory that existed in terms of knowledge acquisition, knowledge discrimination and knowledge mining in our ancient education system we need to re-orient the present education system with Ancient Indian Value based Education.
