Abstract

The knowledge system of a community or a  localized group accumulated with time through  their understanding of surrounding ecology, life  experiences, aboriginal technology, and way of  life, which is a time tested way of doing things  since generations and passed on as traditions  can be termed as Indigenous Knowledge System  (IKS). It is also referred to astraditional knowledge  (TK), Local Knowledge, Folk Knowledge, Tribal  Knowledge, Indigenous Technical Knowledge  (ITK), and many more similar terms. Indigenous  knowledge is an integral part of the culture of a  native community. It is progressive and dynamic in  nature and provides sustainability.It is unique for a  particular region, culture, or society. It is acquired  by a new generation in the form of informal and  formal learning, or in common terms, we can call it  traditional education.
