Indian Philosophy Elective Course At IIM Lucknow Is Reorganised And Now Covers The 'Karma' Notion

The Wisdom of Indian Philosophy, an elective subject, has recently undergone restructuring at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow. The English-language course incorporates several elements of contemporary thinking. It mainly relies on tenets of Indian philosophy derived in Sanskrit from Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Samkhya Karika, and Upanishads with references from the Bhagavad Gita.

Both the campuses in Lucknow and Noida are teaching it. Dr. Anadi Saran Pande, a professor of strategic management at IIM Lucknow, developed the course. This course aims to help students manage themselves better, reduce stress and anxiety, enhance focus and improve quality of mind.

The course incorporates numerous topics such as metaphysics, aesthetics, epistemology, sociology, psychology, ethics, life sciences, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and an individual’s interactions with their environment.
