  In this paper we use the notion of operator-valued symbol in order to compute
the index of Toeplitz operators on compact Lie groups. Our approach combines
the Connes index theorem and the infinite-dimensional operator-valued symbolic
calculus of Ruzhansky-Turunen. We also give applications to the index of
Toeplitz operators on simply connected closed $3$-manifolds $\mathbb{M}\simeq
\mathbb{S}^3\simeq \textnormal{SU}(2) ,$ by using, as a fundamental tool, the
Poincar\'e theorem (see Perelman [31,32,33,34])
