This research article is the outcome of a study conducted to critically analyze the credibility of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and indigenous resource inclusion at various levels of the teaching and learning process for inculcating socio-emotional intelligence. Socio-emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one’s own emotions, as well as understand and relate effectively to the emotions of others. This article begins with a discussion of the meaning of Socio-Emotional Intelligence (SEI) and the status of SEI skills among learners in India. It also discusses the various initiatives to inculcate Socio emotional skills through education and the challenges in their implementation. After having presented the credibility component, the article presents an elaborate account of teaching SEI through references and select lines taken from the Indian Epics i.e.,the Ramayana and the Mahabharata; and, select lines from the Bhaghvad Gita. Towards the end, the conclusion and findings are presented that are indicative of the future course of action and the high level of impact of IKS in curricula on the lines of the recommendations proposed in NEP2020. This article serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders interested in promoting the holistic development of individuals through education.
