Abstract

The management of traditional knowledge in India has come through successive stages. These stages include not only the adoption of technology but also the creation of social awareness. It is obvious that the Indian traditional knowledge is embedded both in scientific as well as non-scientific terms. Ironically, both terms are embedded in the life-world of the Indians. This paper traces traditional indigenous knowledge management in terms of the structure of traditional knowledge, its delivery system, its selective application and utilization, the reactions from competing groups, and ultimately the technological issues in democratizing the knowledge system.

Keywords: Indigenous knowledge, knowledge capture, social awareness, technology
