Article Abstract

Ethnomathematics refers to the mathematical practices, concepts, and problem-solving methods that are rooted in cultural traditions. In India, a rich history of indigenous mathematical knowledge has been passed down through oral traditions and community practices over generations. In recent years, several digital initiatives in India have sought to preserve and promote ethnomathematical knowledge by documenting indigenous mathematical concepts and making them more widely accessible through online platforms. In this note this study explores key digital initiatives and their challenges in India to preserve ethnomathematical knowledge through systematic documentation, raising awareness, capacity building efforts, and making indigenous mathematical concepts more accessible for contemporary use and integration with modern curriculum. For this study, a systematic literature review was followed to collect data by searching relevant scholarly documents based on the keywords, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted accordingly. The findings of this piece of study suggests that, though various organisations are working great with the help of technology in this regard, still Indian policy and civil society interventions needed to support knowledge preservation efforts, and further development of India\'s ethnomathematical heritage encompassing the ancient, indigenous knowledge traditions around mathematics in the diverse communities of the subcontinent by blending technology into the process.
