This research examines the complex relationship between indigenous knowledge systems and geographical indications (GIs) in India. Drawing on recent studies and legal precedents, we analyze how traditional knowledge systems contribute to economic development, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability. The research highlights challenges facing these knowledge systems and explores innovative approaches to their preservation, including technology integration, market adaptation, and policy interventions. Our findings suggest that successful preservation strategies must address socioeconomic, cultural, and technological dimensions while balancing tradition with innovation.
