Abstract: The integration of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into higher education has emerged as a transformative priority under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, aiming to align education with India’s cultural heritage and contemporary global needs. This paper explores the policy and governance dimensions of integrating IKS into higher education institutions (HEIs) in Northeast India—a region marked by rich indigenous traditions, linguistic diversity, and ecological knowledge systems. Using a qualitative, policy-analytical approach, the study examines national frameworks, regulatory mechanisms, and institutional responses to IKS integration. It highlights how decentralized governance, institutional autonomy, and context-sensitive curriculum design can facilitate meaningful inclusion of indigenous knowledge. The paper identifies key challenges such as policy-practice gaps, lack of documentation of indigenous knowledge, limited faculty preparedness, and infrastructural constraints. At the same time, it underscores emerging opportunities including digital knowledge preservation, community engagement, interdisciplinary research, and global collaborations. A multi-level framework is proposed to strengthen policy alignment, governance effectiveness, and institutional capacity. The study concludes that Northeast India can become a model for culturally rooted and future-ready higher education, provided policy and governance mechanisms are effectively contextualized and implemented.
