determining, by a governance processing module, a governance effectiveness index score of the knowledge management system based on the at least one of the IP effectiveness index score, the audit rights index score, the collaboration index score, and the quality index score.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the IP effectiveness index (IPI) score is determined based on one or more parameters including Process Ownership Index (POI) score, sourcing flexibility index (SFI) score, and knowledge risk index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the audit rights index (ARI) score is determined based on one or more parameters including Trade Secrets (TrS) existence score, Innovative Process (InP) existence score, Rights (RT) acquire score, Knowledge Artifact Completeness (Com) score, and Tradable Value of Knowledge Artifact (TvA) score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the collaboration index (CoI) score is determined based on one or more parameters including an Individual Collaboration index (ICI) score, Team Collaboration index (TCI) score, Networked Collaboration index (NCI) score, and Real time Collaboration index (RCI) score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the quality index (QuI) score is determined based on one or more parameters including Author groups existence index (AgI) score, Title existence index (TiI) score, Suggested usage index (SuI) score, Tag score (Tag), Modifications score (Mod) of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein upon determining the IP effectiveness index score (IPI), the audit rights index (ARI) score, the collaboration index (CoI) score, and the quality index (QuI) score, the method performed by the rules engine, comprising the steps of:
determining a gap between one or more predetermined rules related to at least one of content, ownership and IP associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
analyzing at least one of the content, ownership and IP associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts based on the gap determining; and
calculating at least one of the IP effectiveness index score (IPI), the audit rights index (ARI) score, the collaboration index (CoI) score, and the quality index (QuI) score based on the analyzing.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein accessing the knowledge repository through the user interface module comprising:
receiving user information from a user;
determining validity of the received user information by comparing the received user information with user information previously stored in the knowledge repository; and
providing one or more access control rights to the user for accessing the knowledge repository based on the validity determining.

8. A computer-implemented system for determining governance effectiveness of knowledge management system, said system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to:
determine at least one of an IP effectiveness index (IPI) score, an audit rights index (ARI) score, a collaboration index score, and quality index score using the at least one metadata of the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determine a governance effectiveness index score of the knowledge management system based on the at least one of the IP effectiveness index score, the audit rights index score, the collaboration index score, and the quality index score.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the IP effectiveness index (IPI) score based on one or more parameters including Process Ownership Index (POI) score, sourcing flexibility index (SFI) score, and knowledge risk index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

10. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the audit rights index (ARI) score based on one or more parameters including Trade Secrets (TrS) existence score, Innovative Process (InP) existence score, Rights (RT) acquire score, Knowledge Artifact Completeness (Com) score, and Tradable Value of Knowledge Artifact (TvA) score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

11. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the collaboration index (CoI) score based on one or more parameters including an Individual Collaboration index (ICI) score, Team Collaboration index (TCI) score, Networked Collaboration index (NCI) score, and Real time Collaboration index (RCI) score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

12. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the quality index (QuI) score based on one or more parameters including Author groups existence index (AgI) score, Title existence index (TiI) score, Suggested usage index (SuI) score, Tag score (Tag), Modifications score (Mod) of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

13. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the instructions to determine the IP effectiveness index score (IPI), the audit rights index (ARI) score, the collaboration index (CoI) score, and the quality index (QuI) score, on execution, further cause the processor to:
determine a gap between one or more predetermined rules related to at least one of content, ownership and IP associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
analyze at least one of the content, ownership and IP associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts based on the gap determining; and
calculate at least one of the IP effectiveness index score (IPI), the audit rights index (ARI) score, the collaboration index (CoI) score, and the quality index (QuI) score based on the analyzing.

14. The system as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:
a knowledge repository for storing the one or more knowledge artifacts and metadata associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
a user interface module coupled with the knowledge repository and configured to access the metadata associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts from the knowledge repository.

15. The system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the instructions, on execution, cause the user interface module to access the knowledge repository by:
receiving user information from a user;
determining validity of the received user information by comparing the received user information with user information previously stored in the knowledge repository; and
providing one or more access control rights to the user for accessing the knowledge repository upon validity determining.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium including operations stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor cause a system to perform the acts of:
accessing at least one metadata associated with one or more knowledge artifacts;
determining at least one of an IP effectiveness index (IPI) score, an audit rights index (ARI) score, a collaboration index score, and quality index score using the at least one metadata of the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determining a governance effectiveness index score of a knowledge management system based on the at least one of the IP effectiveness index score, the audit rights index score, the collaboration index score, and the quality index score.
