dc.description.abstractDespite the abundance of indigenous knowledge across various developing world communities, its availability doesn't guarantee accessibility or utilization. Libraries can enhance access to this knowledge by fostering environments conducive to face-to-face discussions and networking, enabling community members to engage in debates and exchanges on topics beneficial to them. Globally, there is a growing recognition of the importance of preserving and promoting indigenous knowledge, much of which is transmitted orally. This study focused on college libraries in Assam to understand their current status of handling Indigenous Knowledge Resources (IKR), preservation efforts and future plans. It is also expected that in academic libraries like college libraries, there may not be always a separate section for IKR, but it is expected to handle IKR due to suggested curricula of various courses. The findings reveal that these libraries are actively pursuing initiatives to safeguard indigenous knowledge despite facing numerous challenges. Despite these obstacles, libraries remain committed to their long-term goal of preserving and promote this invaluable heritage.en_US
