        abstract = {India's rural areas, steeped in a rich tradition of ancient manuscripts, hold vast stores of knowledge in fields such as agriculture, medicine, astronomy, and art. In today's post-globalization era, as these rural communities undergo swift socio-economic changes, it has become essential to rediscover and incorporate these traditional manuscripts through the Indian Knowledge System (IKS). This research investigates how digitization, community-driven archiving, and the educational integration of manuscripts can help bridge the gap between Indigenous and modern knowledge. By analyzing case studies from India's North-East and other rural areas, it underscores the transformative power of traditional wisdom in promoting sustainable rural development, preserving culture, and fostering self-reliance, in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India). The study advocates for a multidisciplinary strategy that merges heritage conservation, ICT tools, and participatory rural education to rejuvenate manuscript-based knowledge systems for future rural resilience},
