Knowledge Management Practices in Higher Educational Institutions of Jabalpur MP

Knowledge Management (KM) has become an essential strategy for improving academic effectiveness and organizational learning in higher educational institutions. This study examines the awareness and adoption of knowledge management practices among faculty members in selected higher educational institutions of Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh. Primary data were collected from 120 faculty members using a structured questionnaire. Percentage analysis and chi-square tests were applied for data analysis. The study reveals that although faculty members demonstrate reasonable awareness of KM practices (38.3% high awareness, 32.5% moderate awareness), structured institutional adoption remains limited. Significant associations were found between gender and KM awareness (p = 0.045) and between teaching experience and KM adoption (p = 0.006).
