Abstract

Digital technology in education has significantly reshaped pedagogical practices in the world. In India these technologies are very crucial for promotion and revitalization of Indian knowledge system which includes traditional sciences, philosophies and cultural practices. India’s cultural and traditional values may be preserved through the use of technologies like satellite-based learning, Internet and interactive television through combining ICT and IKS. Challenges of access, equality, quality and innovation can be addressed. With the conjunction of IKS and ICT fostering of experiential learning, incorporation of ancient wisdom and improvement in literacy can be accomplished through combining contemporary technology and traditional knowledge. But it requires a pool of highly qualified teachers who have intensive training of ICT and how to combine it with IKS. In order to attain a culturally inclined and future ready educational system in India and incorporate a balance between tradition and modernity it is in essential to instigate ICT for promotion of IKS.
