Education that Heals, Science that Listens: Prof Bhushan Patwardhan on IKS & Integrative Health

Between Us, Make Every Conversation Count ™

What if the answers to tomorrow’s challenges lie in India’s ancient knowledge?

In this compelling episode of Between Us: Make Every Conversation Count™, we sit down with Prof. Bhushan Patwardhan — renowned biomedical scientist, global health advisor, and former Vice Chairman of the UGC — to explore how Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), Ayurveda, and the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) are transforming the landscape of education, policy, and global innovation.

In this episode, we explore:

- How IKS can be integrated into higher education

- The role of Ayurveda in sustainable development and public health

- The philosophical and scientific underpinnings of NEP 2020

- Bridging tradition and technology through storytelling and policy

- Why India’s civilizational ethos is more relevant than ever

This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a blueprint for reimagining India’s future.

The idea of ‘Between Us’ stems from the fact that every conversation matters, especially the one that we have with ourselves. Using podcast as a medium, I am fortunate to bring folks who have made an impact in everyday lives, from diverse backgrounds, to engage in a meaningful conversation. The topics are as diverse and deeply interconnected - from climate justice to big tech to healthcare as a constitutional right to millennial expectations to gender equality and inclusiveness. I warmly welcome you to join me in this journey.
