Abstract
The role of traditional knowledge with its spiritual, cultural and economic values is being increasingly recognised. Such knowledge has been used for centuries by indigenous and local communities under local laws customs and traditions. This knowledge which is the result of communities’ cooperative effort is built on the foundation of past experiences and observations. The products based on traditional knowledge are important sources of income, food and health care for large parts of the population in developing countries in particular and in turn, for their sustainable, socio-economic developments. Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights Act, 2001(PPVFRA) and Biological Diversity Act of India, 2002, is an attempt by the Indian Government to recognize and protect the rights of both indigenous people and traditional medical practitioners in respect of their contribution made in conserving, improving and making available plant generic resources for development of new plants varieties. But due to illiteracy, socio economic backwardness, the said law is beneficial to only commercial plant breeders and not to tribal communities and traditional practitioners but there are some provisions for protection of traditional knowledge under Indian intellectual property laws. It is required to strengthen the PPVFRA and Biological Diversity Act of India, 2002, by strict implementation which shall create legal awareness in the indigenous people regarding their rights which are available to them under intellectual property laws and also protect the traditional knowledge of indigenous people in conservation of plant genetic resources.
