The Indians will kick off their five-Test series against hosts England in Nottingham on Wednesday, looking to break their Test drought on away soil that stretches back to June 2011.
Fletcher, coaching against the side he led from 1999 to 2007, said Dravid's inclusion to the India camp as a consultant was not simply to advise their batting line-up.
"People would think I have called him (Dravid) to help the batsmen. But actually it's as much for the bowlers," Fletcher told the BCCI's official website.
"What people don't understand is that the bowlers think like bowlers. I want Rahul to talk to them and make them think like batsmen.
"That way they will know what areas a batsman likes and doesn't like, which will help them a great deal in forming their strategies."
Dravid amassed 13,288 runs in 164 Tests, and it is this experience Fletcher wants his bowlers to tap into, especially in the absence of veteran paceman Zaheer Khan.
"The bowlers are pretty inexperienced. We haven't really got anyone to lead the group and we haven't taken 20 wickets in a Test since quite a while now," Fletcher said.
"But for once we have a good variety in our pace attack. They are still pretty inexperienced but experience can also come from learning quickly, and we hope they have done that.
"It will be so very crucial for them as a unit to stay disciplined and not try too much. It's just about ensuring that we get these young men's minds (are) right."
India's winless streak in away Test matches has reached 14 matches - including 10 losses - and Fletcher credited their most recent failures on tour in South Africa (December) and New Zealand (February) to over-confidence.
"With these young boys I felt they could have been a little over-confident when they went to South Africa and New Zealand because they had done so well in India," Fletcher said.
"As the series went, it made them realise that playing away from home is very difficult. They believe that they have learnt from those tours and so there is positivity in the camp but the overconfidence has gone.
"But again, until you actually go out there and play a game, you will never know if you actually have learnt."
