Abstract
The notion of traditional knowledge that emerges from the case studies shows that the hierarchic division is rooted in existing power structure of the society. Knowledge exclusion may happen again and again, though it may appear with some different names. The task of bridging the gap will remain there in all differentiated societies. The case studies not only establish the importance of current set of programs but also show certain limitations that need attention.
