India boasts a rich tapestry of ancient knowledge systems, encompassing diverse fields like mathematics, astronomy, medical science, yoga, and philosophy. However, historical and social structures have often created a gender gap, limiting women's access to and participation in this vast heritage. This paper delves into how education and technology can bridge this gap and empower women as active participants in preserving, reinterpreting, and transmitting this invaluable cultural legacy. The paper also highlights the transformative potential of education and technology within the Indian knowledge system to empower women and bridge the persistent gender gap. By exploring innovative approaches and initiatives, this paper examines how leveraging traditional wisdom alongside modern tools can create pathways for women's empowerment, social inclusion, and sustainable development in India. From the analysis of literature historical perspectives, socio-cultural dynamics, and policy perspectives on education for women empowerment are highlighted. Multifarious utilization of technology for gender equality, integration of indigenous knowledge systems into formal education to empower women as knowledge holders or change agents to address the root causes of gender inequality have also been analyzed in this paper. The paper concludes that bridging the gender gap and empowering women in the Indian context requires a holistic and multi-dimensional approach that combines education, technology, and indigenous knowledge systems. By investing in inclusive and equitable education systems, promoting digital inclusion and innovation, and harnessing the wisdom of India's diverse cultural heritage, we can create an enabling environment for women's empowerment and social transformation.
