About the Book

Education in the twenty-first century stands at a decisive crossroads. Rapid technological advancement, global interconnectedness, and complex social realities demand not only intellectual competence but also emotional resilience, ethical grounding, and cultural rootedness. The book Integrating Wisdom and Technology in Education: Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and Innovative Technological Tools for a Sustainable Future emerge from the conviction that meaningful education must harmonize timeless wisdom with transformative innovation. In recent decades, education systems worldwide have increasingly recognized the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in nurturing self-awareness, empathy, responsible decisionmaking, and collaborative skills among learners. Academic achievement alone is no longer sufficient; students must develop the emotional intelligence and interpersonal capacities necessary to thrive in diverse and dynamic societies. SEL provides the human foundation upon which sustainable development and peaceful coexistence can be built.
