I myself was going to float a similar thread in an advisory mode but you have given me opportunity to express my suggestions in this regard here itself.
It is high time that we all try to update our old articles as much as possible by corrections, additions, enrichment, and reformatting the content.
This is very much required in view of the changing strategy of search engines in the internet.
An updated and enriched article has a scope of attracting traffic. The advantage of updating is that whenever we update an article then it emerges out in the first page of a feed as designed in that site and its chances of getting picked up by a genuine reader increase.
One important thing to be considered during updating is that we have to remove unwanted and junk material from it and bring fresh content. If we can do that we would be benefited in terms of traffic.
Knowledge is power.

Swati,
In case you have written on the same topic earlier, it is best not to submit another article with the same points, as then it becomes a duplication of content. An exception is for admissions and results, as these are for different academic years.
What you need to do is edit the earlier article, and add the additional information that you wish to convey. You can, in fact, republish the article so that it will then have the current date and year, and then edit it. It is also advisable to give a few internal links to keep readers within the pages of ISC. Authors/Editors are also permitted to change the title if they find that it did not fetch traffic and a change in the title may prove beneficial in terms of SEO.
You could give us the URL of the earlier article, and one of the editors will unlock it for you.

It is a need I think that we should update the articles that we submitted many years back. Many changes might have taken place and new developments might have come in. As such it is a need to republish our articles as suggested by Vandana. We should remove irrelevant data from the old article and we should add recent developments in the field.
We should get the latest information on the subject concerned and that should be added to our article. This will give a new look to our article and may attract many readers.

Nowadays, I don't write articles in ISC. Earlier, I used to write articles. However, the nature of my articles was such that most of them do not require any updation.

Partha,
You have the required writing skills. If you are not interested in writing articles, you should contribute more often to the Knowledge Centre instead of sporadically as you currently do.

As per my understanding updating a content generally brings additional traffic to it. If my understanding is correct then search engines will also assess it again. Only thing is we have to improve the quality of the content as well as time dependent data update.
Simply correcting the grammar and restructuring some sentences or paragraphs would not help.
If there are some old articles where quality updation is discernible, we can go for that to earn some traffic. In internet the crucial starting point for any earning is traffic.
Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

What I understand is the earlier posting already posted in any section and the author is interested to incorporate some valuable information to make the content more updated, it needs to be judged by the editor concerned. Moreover that would depend upon how extent it would attract the readers.
Any incorporation contain value of the content would certainly be a welcome step.
