Author : Dr. Amaresh Jha
Abstract – This paper critically analyses the Articles of United National Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), provisions of World Intellectual Property Organization, Database Management of Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) using the construct of Social Justice Framework and Knowledge Management Cycle. The study also makes an assessment of the level of technology adoption among tribal population in India through the secondary sources and benchmarks the initiatives of the global and Indian agencies with respect to basic principles of Knowledge Management -acquisition, application, assessment, creation, value identification, refinement and dissemination. The need of collaborative management of the indigenous knowledge has been assessed from the perspective of sustaining the valuable knowledge and not just preserving and protecting it as records or documents.
