Baksa district of Assam is bestowed with rich soil and suitable climate that favours the growth of paddy cultivation. Although a sizeable portion of rural community is engaged in paddy farming, yet the production is not satisfactory which might be due to traditional method of cultivation. As the district is tribal dominated, therefore, the study strives to explore the adoption behaviour of both tribal and non- tribal paddy growers. A total of 101 respondents (59 non-tribal and 42 tribal farmers) were considered as the final sample by proportionate random sampling method. The findings revealed that above sixty five percent of total farmers had overall medium adoption level. However, (52.54%) of non- tribal and 69.04 per cent tribal farmers exhibited medium level of adoption. The “t value” was found to be significant. Factors such as annual income and occupational status of the farmers had a positive and significant association with the extent of adoption. Further, these significant and nearly significant variables were taken for Tobit analysis to find the influence of these factors on extent of adoption, where none of the factors showed a positive and significant contribution towards adoption process.

Assam occupies a special place in the rice production and a home to many indigenous varieties of rice. The production and productivity of the Indigenous varieties are much less than the HYVs but some farmers still prefer growing indigenous rice along with HYVs. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to study the distribution pattern of Indigenous and High Yielding varieties of rice and to enumerate the farmer’s preferences to Indigenous and High Yielding varieties of rice in Baksa district of Assam. A total of 160 numbers of both Tribal and Non-tribal farmers were selected for the study. The data were collected by means of personal interview schedule. Statistical tools employed to analyze the data included frequency, percentage, Mean and Standard Deviation. To know the distribution pattern of both Indigenous and High Yielding varieties of rice, two major areas viz. Area distribution and Varietal distribution were identifi ed. The fi ndings revealed that non-tribal farmers cultivated HYVs in 68.13 per cent area and tribal farmers cultivated in 31.87 per cent area. But in case of Indigenous varieties non-tribal farmers cultivated in 44.93 per cent and tribal farmers cultivated in 55.07 per cent area. The major HYV varieties grown by the non-tribal farmers were Masuri, Ranjit, Moniram and varieties grown by tribal are Ranjit, Bahadur and Masuri. The indigenous varieties grown by the non-tribal farmers mostly Nolbonni, Ballam Joha, Moinagiri and varieties grown by tribal are Phulpakhri, Tanagaguri, Parochokua bonni. Further, A comparative assessment of the preferences of both Indigenous and High yielding variety rice growers was performed and it was observed that tribal farmers preferred indigenous rice varieties because of their taste, cooking quality etc, and preferred HYVs because of yield, market demand etc. But nontribal farmers preferred indigenous varieties because of their traditional delicacies, taste etc, and showed preference to HYVs because of cooking quality, market demand etc.

This article examines and compares the status of land rights and their impacts on agricultural productivity, food security and well-being in a set of tribal and non-tribal villages in Telangana. Based on an intensive field survey, the research confirms that tribals without formal land rights remain largely unable to benefit from government support and access to private institutions in terms of getting credit and farm extension, whereas in non-tribal villages, government organisations are pro-active in providing such support. These findings confirm the need to increase the effectiveness of land rights and title documentation in India’s tribal villages to protect local people’s investments in land, enhance agricultural productivity and strengthen the long-term effectiveness of government programmes, which include avoidance of migration to the big cities.

The present study was conducted to fi nd out the diff erence in extent of adoption of improved production technology of Ajwain between the tribal and non-tribal farmers of Rajasthan. Pratapgarh and Chittorgarh districts of Rajasthan were selected among tribal and non-tribal districts of Rajasthan, respectively as they have the highest area and production of Ajwain. One tehsil from each of the selected districts were selected purposively due to highest area and production of Ajwain. From each of the selected tehsils 5 villages were selected randomly. 13 farmers were selected from each selected villages in this way a sample of 130 respondents (65 tribal and 65 no tribal farmers) was selected randomly. Data was collected using interview schedules in year 2022. From the study it was concluded that majority 51 (78.46 %) of tribal framers were in medium adoption category followed by low 10 (15.38%) and 04 (6.16%) high extent of adoption categories. Further, majority 52 (80.00%) of non-tribal farmers were having medium extent of adoption followed by 08 (12.31 %) farmers having high and 05 (07.69 %) farmers having low extent of adoption. It was found that the tribal farmers had maximum adoption of “Harvesting” (76.92 MPS) and least adoption of “Fertilizer application” (51.23 MPS). While, in case of non-tribal farmers “Time of sowing” (87.69 MPS) was maximum adopted and “Plant protection measures” (59.23 MPS) was least adopted.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the principal diet of majority of the population. A large portion of rural community of Assam depends on rice farming for their livelihood. Baksa district of Assam has enormous potentiality in rice production. Although the district is being blessed with favourable agro climatic conditions, yet the advantages could not be harnessed in terms of yield. To meet the growing demands of rice, one best possible route is to adopt improved technology in HYV rice. As a good number of tribal farmers are prevalent in the district, therefore the study attempts to explore the adoption behaviour of tribal and nontribal rice farmers along with the associated factors in the adoption process. A total of 160 respondents (104 non-tribal and 56 tribal farmers) were selected as the fi nal sample by proportionate random sampling method. The fi ndings showed that above seventy percent of farmers had overall medium adoption level. However, a total of (73.13%) of non- tribal and only 51.78 per cent tribal farmers exhibited medium level of adoption. The “t value” was found to be non-signifi cant. Overall age, family size, operational land holding. training exposure, social participation, economic motivation and scientifi c orientation of the farmers had a positive and signifi cant association with the extent of adoption in case of HYVs. Further, these signifi cant and nearly signifi cant variables were taken for Tobit analysis to see the infl uence of these factors on extent of adoption of HYVs, where only training exposure showed a positive and signifi cant contribution towards adoption of HYVs.

Dairy farming is a secondary occupation for millions of farmers in the Central Indian State of Chhattisgarh. This study used the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to determine how tribal and non-tribal dairy farmers in Chhattisgarh perceive about dairy farming and what makes them feel that way. In this study, the data was gathered from dairy farmers during 2020–21. The results of the paired sample t-test showed that both tribal and non-tribal farmers are performing significantly. In the Principal Component Analysis, KMO’s sample adequacy test result was 0.724, which means there were enough signs in each element to study. Twelve items of dairy farmers’ perceptions were conglomerated into three factors: rational perception, opportunistic perception, and scientific perception. The results of the SEM showed that the absolute fit indices match the sample data and that the proposed model is a good fit because it matches the values of the perception items.

The study entitled “Knowledge Level of Tribal Farmers on Processing of Non-Timber Forest Products in Meghalaya” aimed to explore the knowledge level of tribal farmers regarding the processing of NTFPs, to find out the relationship between knowledge and profile characteristics of tribal farmers and to enlist the constraints faced by the tribal farmers in two districts of Meghalaya i.e., East Khasi Hills and Ri Bhoi district, with respondents from eight villages. An ex-post facto research design was followed and based on the availability of NTFPs in the villages and dependency, a total of 160 participants belonging to Khasi tribes were purposively selected for data collection using pre-tested interview scheduled. The study revealed a mean knowledge score of 28.17 with a half-standard deviation of 1.48. Among the respondents, more than two third i.e., 68.75 per cent had low to medium knowledge and 31.25 per cent demonstrated high knowledge levels. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationship between knowledge level and educational status, material possession, annual income, extension contacts and scientific orientation at the 0.01 level of significance. Marketing pattern and market orientation showed significance at the 0.05 level, while fatalism exhibited a negative correlation at the same level. The top three constraints faced by tribal farmers were insufficient infrastructure for processing and storage, lack of adequate knowledge and difficulties in accessing markets due to remote locations and poor transportation networks which need policy interventions by the concerned governmental bodies or agencies including departments or ministries of agriculture, rural development, food processing and transportation.

This paper aims to measure crop diversification for a uniform data set of 21 year in tribal and non-tribal area which includes eight districts of Chhsttisgarh state of India namely Bastar, Kondagaon, Balrampur and Surguja (In tribal region) and Raipur, Rajnandgaon, Durg and Dhamtari (in Non-tribal region). At the same time it focuses on status and changing pattern of crop diversification in the districts with a comparative outlook of both. Data used for the study were collected from year 2001 to 2022 and whole study was divided in to seven periods and separate analysis was done for all period. Simpson index were used to measure the crop diversification in the districts for comparative study. Results of the study shows complete diversification was found in the tribal area in all period through all index and likewise in Surguja and Balrampur district crop specialization was found more than Durg and Raipur districts of non-tribal area. During the study I was found that higher indices observed in the tribal area than non-tribal area. The results have revealed that in almost all crops group very low diversification indices were observed. The study has suggested that despite plenty of natural resources available in the state, the economic improvement of farmers is in infancy. Pre-requisite infrastructural facilities like cheap sources of irrigation water (assured irrigation as the monsoon in the present decade had been erratic and scanty rainfall) and extension of technological know-how (quality seeds and fertilizers), may acts as catalyst in diversification of agriculture towards high-valued crops. These developmental efforts may be helpful in fetching good incomes by the cultivators.

Tribal farmers belong to indigenous communities and engage in agricultural activities, agroforestry or even non-timber forest product harvesting as their primary livelihood. These farmers are part of ethnic groups with distinct traditions, languages and social structures. Therefore, studying the profile characteristics of these farmers is essential for understanding their unique socio-economic and cultural contexts. This study was conducted on 160 tribal farmers from East Khasi Hills and Ri Bhoi district of Meghalaya, primarily engaged in the collection and management of non-timber forest products. The research, utilized an ex post facto design. Findings revealed that most respondents were young or middle aged, with diverse educational backgrounds. Housing was mainly wooden or concrete with asbestos sheets. Material possession ranged from low to medium, and family sizes were typically medium to large, with nuclear families prevailing. Social and political participation varied, while income distribution skewed towards the low to medium range. Local and regional markets were preferred by over two-thirds of respondents. Livestock ownership, landholding sizes and indebtedness patterns demonstrated diversity. Engagement with mass media, cosmopoliteness, extension contact, participation and opinion leadership varied, with many falling into low to medium categories. Awareness of development schemes was significant, indicating a connection to broader societal initiatives. Tribal farmers displayed diverse levels of scientific orientation, risk and economic motivation, market orientation, and fatalistic attitudes. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers and development practitioners, facilitating tailored interventions to address the unique needs and aspirations of this farming community.

Niger crop is being cultivated in agency areas of ASR district, Andhra Pradesh for millennia with 4000 ha area during the year 2020-2021. The package of practices for cultivation of Niger crop is validated and proven the best as per ANGRAU recommendations. The present study reveals the information on major adopted recommended cultivation practices of Niger crops besides constraints faced by the tribal farmers. A set of 15 recommended practices were prepared as a schedule for personal interview to 60 randomly selected tribal farmers in agency areas and their responses were recorded. The results inferred that among all the schedules, majority farmers had adopted the recommended practices like sowing in time, harvesting within time, application of FYM and drying the harvested produce before bagging with 96.67, 96.67, 95.00 and 93.33 per cent responses. The major constraints include cuscuta weed management, non availability of Niger seed/improved varieties of Niger crop and difficulty in sowing due to dreadful weather conditions like continuous rains. Development of contingency crop plans or suggestive alternate crops are needed during the weather disasters. Through training programmes, method and result demonstrations information on weed, pest and disease management in Niger crop are to be disseminated to the tribal farmers. Village level seed multiplication/production technologies are to be popularised among tribal farmers to encompass the sufficient seed material with vigour and viability to sustain the Niger crop cultivation in agency areas of ASR district, Andhra Pradesh.

A study was conducted on the impact of KVK interventions on transferring knowledge to tribal farmers on improved animal husbandry practices in Panchmahal district of central Gujarat, to creating awareness regarding the efficient technologies through various efficient extension tools under the banner of ICAR- KVK, Panchmahal. A random sampling technique was applied to draw the samples of 120 farmers from eight villages of Kalol and Jambughoda Tehsil of Panchmahal district. Accordingly, strategies of technological intervention were made regularly during the period of study. In adopted villages, KVK, Panchmahal organized several activities like animal health camps, training programs, advisory services, and FLDs on different aspects of animal husbandry. The results of the study revealed that the means knowledge index and mean adoption index were recorded 39.24 and 93.81 and 77.24 and 25.43 percent, respectively for pre and after interventions. The impact of KVK interventions was found to be 53.19 percent over the existing knowledge and adoption by the trained farmers which were found to be substantial over the non-benefited tribal farmers on various aspects of animal husbandry after the intervention of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Panchmahal. Based on the study it may be concluded that the overall improvement in the knowledge of the tribal farmers with respect to the adoption of animal husbandry technologies would be possible through the demonstration of efficient technologies needed for healthy livestock rearing which had not only created awareness but also improved the knowledge and attitude of tribal farmers in relation to scientific animal husbandry practices.

Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (PATA) of Punjab-Pakistan are comprised of hilly mountains with small ruminants as a sole source of income. In this study, farming practices, productivity, health and the economic value of sheep were evaluated in PATA through a survey of farmers (n = 138) holding 11,558 heads of sheep. Out of a total population, 87% were non-descriptive flocks, and 9% and 4% were purebred flocks belonging to the Kajli and Thali populations, respectively. Sheep flocks were mainly (86%) reared under the traditional production system and had a delayed onset of puberty. There was low influence of season on the reproduction, and the majority of flocks (78%) were bred throughout the year. The lack of proper vaccination and poor management exposed the flocks to bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, which lead to high mortality in lambs (~22%) and adults (~32%). The share of sheep in farmers livelihood was 42%, and only 20% of producers’ living standard was improved with sheep farming, but the rise in rearing more sheep was quite low (20%). Although the livestock department arranged farmers’ training, the majority of farmers (83%) never participated in training and had no knowledge of modern technologies. Collectively, the traditional sheep production systems, poor management, lack of vaccination, marketing channels and farmers training hampered the sheep rearing and producers’ livelihood in the PATA of Punjab-Pakistan. However, developing model livestock farms, conducting farmer training, establishing a viable market for dairy products, and introducing subsidy policy interventions can improve the sheep farming in these areas.

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs), also known as non-wood forest products (NWFPs) and secondary forest products are useful substances obtained from forests. The key feature of NTFP’s is the continuous flow of returns against timber returns that are available intermittently at an interval of rotation period. An estimated 80% of the population of the developing world uses NWFP to meet some of their health and nutritional needs. NTFPs provide greater opportunities to the people by providing employment in the lean agriculture season. Most of the activities pertaining to NTFPs like collection, processing, transportation, marketing etc. are labour intensive and provide employment. India holds monopoly in world trade over some of the natural resins and gums such as lac, gum karaya and guar gum. Tribals derive 20-40% of their annual income from minor forest produce on which they spend major portion of their time. It has been established that a number of tribal, rural and forest department communities derive a significant part of their needs, income food and nutrition. The edible NTFPs play an important role in food & nutritional security of rural people. However, due to number of factors like destruction of natural habitat, fluctuating prices, population growth is hindering the development of NTFPs.

Organic farming aims to produce healthy and non-toxic food for consumers using natural inputs to eliminate anysubstance from farming system which is harmful to human as well as soil health. Organic farming is not a new concept but a traditional farming system with modern scientific techniques. Realizing the long-term positive impact of organic farming, Government of India is also promoting the organic farming on a large scale. In line with this, three villages of Angara block of Ranchi District have been developed as fully organic villages. To assess the general, attitudinal and control belief among tribal farmers towards organic farming, a study was conducted in two Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) certified villages namely Dhurleta and Budhakocha of Ranchi district in Jharkhand state during the year 2019–20. Data for the study was collected through personal interview of the tribal farmers practicing organic farming using structured interview schedule developed for the purpose. A total of 50 farmers (25 farmers from each village) selected through systematic random sampling method formed the sample of the study. Findings of the study showed that about 76.80% farmers believed that organic farming is good while 61% of the respondents had favourable attitudinal belief towards organic farming. Majority of the population agreed that disease, pest control, marketing and complexity in certification are the major setbacks in large scale adoption of organic farming.

East Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh in the North Eastern Region has tremendous potentiality for commercial cultivation of Khasi Mandarin. Despite of rich soil and favourable agro-climatic conditions, full potentialities in terms of production and productivity could not be realised by the growers. The study highlights correlates of adoption of improved practices of Khasi Mandarin and the associated problems of adoption of improved practices by the farmers. The overall level of adoption from the fi ndings revealed that majority (64.17%) of the respondents had medium level of adoption which was followed by low adoption level (25.00%). However, only 10.83 per cent were found to be in high level of adoption category. Total land holding, area under mandarin orchard, total annual income, extension contact, training exposure, management orientation and risk bearing ability had positive and signifi cant correlation with the level of adoption. Age, family size, occupation of the family, farming experience and farm labour availability exhibited a non-signifi cant relationship with the level of adoption. All the variables were found to contribute 42.9 per cent of total variation in adoption (R2=0.429) with extension contact, management orientation and risk bearing ability having signifi cant contribution to this variation.

National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) is a network project of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) aiming to enhance resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change and climate vulnerability through strategic research and technology demonstration. Various climate smart technologies has been diffused amongst tribal farmers to mitigate climate changes in terms of very heavy rainfall, frequent and long dry spells, high humidity etc. The present study was thus, undertaken to assess the impact of the interventions of the climate resilient technologies introduced under the NICRA Project on farm productivity and income of the farmers. The total sample size consists of 160 farmers comprising of 80 participants farmers and 80 non-participants farmers from non-project area. The mean rice productivity of participant farmers (3315.56 kg/ha) was higher than that of the non-participant farmers (2395.32 kg/ha). The difference between the mean level of farm income of participant and non-participant farmers was Rs.37419.80. Findings, therefore, indicated that the project interventions had a significant positive impact on the farm income of the participant farmers.

Agriculture, with its allied sectors, is the largest source of livelihoods in India where 70% of its rural households still depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihood, with 82 percent of farmers being small and marginal (FAO). The majority of small and marginal farmers as well as the landless peasants depend on the other livelihood activity such as livestock and non-timber forest products for sustenance in states like Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, etc. Some of the non-timber forest products are a catalyst for their income, and custard apple (also called Sitafal/Sarifa in some regions) is one of them. Many communities are involved in the cultivation of custard apple in different states. One such community called Banjara is significantly engaged in cultivating custard apples in Maharashtra's Beed district. In this paper, the readers can get a holistic view of the value chain of the custard apple. The case study demonstrates how a small tribal community-driven enterprise turns profitable by processing custard apples in the Beed district of Maharashtra. Taking cue from the case, the government can promote cultivation and processing of custard apples among the tribal community as an alternative means of livelihood and income augmentation.

Wayanad district of Kerala State of India, situated in the Western Ghat region has a tribal population of about twenty percent. Kurichyas, Mullukurumas, Paniyas, Kattunaikas, etc. are the most important tribes inhabiting the area. Rice is their staple source of carbohydrate and they cultivate several native rice cultivars from ancient days. Kurichyas and Mullukurumas are traditional rice farmers. The rice cultivars grown by them are phenotypically and genotypically diverse and can be categorized according to ecological and geographical variations. Rice is grown both under wetland and upland conditions by them. Some of the rice cultivars are adapted to upland conditions and others to wetland conditions. However, no efforts have been made in the area to scientifically evaluate the adaptability of the rice cultivars to these conditions. Upland rice farming is very important in peasantry agriculture including tribal farming since this method demands lesser inputs. Moreover, upland rice farming can be carried out in non-conventional areas thus making the crop to spread to new agricultural areas. The present study validates the usability of twelve native rice cultivars cultivated by the tribal farmers of Wayanad both under wetland and upland conditions. These cultivars form an integral part of the native rice germplasm of the area and their conservation and use are the only valid steps that can be adapted to prevent the loss of the unique genes associated with them. The rice cultivars screened successfully for efficient performance both under wetland and upland conditions in the present experiment are Adukkan, Chennelthondi, Jeerakasala, Karimbalan, Kaima, Kothandan, Mahamaya, Marathondi, Thavalakkannan, Thondi, Urunikaima and Vellimuthu. Recently a devastating flood occurred in Kerala State of India including the Wayanad area in the month of August 2018 and the entire rice crop has been devastated. More curiously, after the flood, the surface water level has receded tremendously leaving the entire rice farms dry, which is completely unusual in the area. The only alternative for rice farming in the area in the second crop season is irrigated upland cultivation and invariably the farmers have to resort to it since at least a small crop to keep the seeds viable until the next year’s crop season is to be raised.

The agro-ecological conditions of the Eastern Ghats region of Andhra Pradesh with the modest temperatures, high rainfall, and rich soil organic carbon provide immense opportunity for the farming of non-traditional high-value crops like broccoli. By considering the favorable climatic conditions available in the Eastern Ghats region of Andhra Pradesh, an experiment on evaluation of different broccoli varieties was taken up to introduce the high-value broccoli crop as well as to suggest a suitable variety for doubling the farmer's income of tribal zone. The present experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Dr. YSR Horticultural University, Chintapalle during 2017- 18 to 2019-20 with nine genotypes in Randomized Block Design in three replications to assess the performance of growth and yield parameters of broccoli genotypes. Among the different genotypes, Palam Vichitra recorded more plant height (63.94 cm) followed by Palam Kanchan (63.29 cm). The leaf length was found to be maximum in Palam Kanchan (51.09 cm) whereas the maximum leaf width was recorded in F1 Festival (16.48 cm). The maximum head diameter was observed in Pusa Samridhi (18.11 cm). The maximum head weight per plant (422.68 g) and yield per hectare (191.72 q) was recorded in the var. Saki. So, Saki variety can be recommended for cultivation at high altitudes and tribal areas of the Eastern Ghat region of Andhra Pradesh to double the tribal farmer’s income.

Agriculture is the cornerstone of many rural communities worldwide. Tribal farmers play a vital role in preserving agricultural customs and ensuring regional food security. The efficient management of agricultural information is critical in modern farming operations, as it allows farmers to enhance production, make informed decisions, and adapt to changing environmental conditions. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in agriculture include networks, mobile devices, services, and applications that aid in the processing, management, and exchange of data, information, or knowledge within the farming ecosystem. ICTs assist farmers through educational procedures in improving farming methods and techniques, increasing production efficiency and income, bettering their levels of living, and lifting the social and educational standards of rural life. The study was conducted in the Keonjhar district of Odisha. An ex-post facto research design was followed for carrying out the study. The research study was followed by both purposive and non-probability random sampling methods for the selection of district, block, gram panchayat, village, and respondents. 120 respondents were selected through disproportionate random sampling. The study revealed the relationship between some socio—economic and psychological variables and Agricultural information management behavior. From this correlation, it was observed that age is negatively correlated and other variables such as gender, education, income, family size, outward orientation, training program, and social participation are positively correlated with information-seeking sources. These variables are directly proportional to the information-seeking sources.

Lac, a natural resin of insect origin, yields basically three useful materials i.e.resin, wax and dye and is an important source of livelihood for poor and tribal farmers in the lac growing regions. Lac growers harvest lac in form of lac stick and lac encrustations attached with sticks are then scraped which is known as sticklac. Sticklac contains impurities which need to be removed by converting sticklac in to seedlac through different unit operations under primary lac processing so that seedlac, a semi-refined product, can be further used in making lac based value added products i.e.shellac, button lac, bleached lac, aleuritic acid etc. Sticklac converted into seedlac can be stored like grain in jute/gunny bag or metal bin for longer period. Hence, lac grower can sell stored seedlac whenever they get remunerative price. Lac resin being natural, biodegradable and non-toxic, finds application in food, textile, furniture, electrical and pharmaceutical industries and provides immense employment opportunities. Regular demand for the materials derived from lac exists in the market due to global trend for use of natural products. Small scale lac processing unit can be established for conversion of sticklac in to seedlac in production catchment area at grower's level itself. Similarly, integrated small scale lac processing unit can also be utilized for conversion of sticklac in to seedlac with reduced man-power requirement and minimum drudgery. Equipments/machineries developed for manufacturing value added lac-based products may be encouraged in the country to reduce time of operation, drudgery and manpower requirement with enhanced capacity of value addition in lac and to promote entrepreneurship development which may further enhance employment generation. To ensure the quality of produce, traditional equipments/machineries needs replacement with new equipments/machineries made of food grade materials coupled with advanced automation system to the maximum possible extent. Value addition in lac could be promoted and migration of rural and tribal people to other states in search of employment could be minimized with adoption of improved equipment and machineries for value addition of lac at village level so that rural and tribal people may get remunerative price of their product. Hence, increase in sustainable livelihood of rural and tribal people might be possible with adoption of lac value addition sector

Learning outcomes This case will help students to analyse and develop insights into the concepts of servant leadership; to analyse and develop insights into women’s empowerment and a process to achieve such empowerment; and to explore the social business models for scaling up. Case overview/synopsis The Lakhpati Kisan programme under the aegis of Tata Trusts focussed on empowering women marginal farmers in the tribal belts in India to significantly increase their income from 2015. Ganesh Neelam, Executive Director, Collectives for Integrated Livelihood Initiatives (CInI), a nodal agency of Tata Trusts, advocated various livelihood options in agriculture, livestock, non-timber forest resources and water conversation. Initially, CInI faced the challenge of getting the farmers to sign up for the programme due to lack of trust. CInI facilitators educated the farmers about the purpose of the initiative and the benefits they would accrue and built trust. CInI created awareness through knowledge-sharing sessions on best practices in agriculture. They formed self-help groups of farmers for decision-making and for easy access to capital. CInI established farmer producer organisations (FPOs) to bring in a business perspective among farmers. The farmers as Board members and executives ran the FPOs like commercial organisations. CInI built capabilities to create a sustainable and autonomous ecosystem that looked impressive. But still the programme was falling short of the desired target. The farmers were so far reluctant to move forward independently. Ganesh felt that the social business model that CInI had evolved needed a re-look to achieve a significant and lasting impact on the majority of the marginal farmers in India. Complexity academic level The case can be used in the organisation behaviour, human resource management courses and courses on social enterprises as part of the MBA or post-graduate management programme or in executive education programmes.

Food security exists when all people, at all times, have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to maintain healthy and productive lives. This study was carried out to investigate the household food security status of dairy farmer at three villages of Shahjadpur Upazila of Sirajganj District. This study was based on primary data and a semi-structured interview schedule was used for collecting data during January to March 2018. Data were collected from a random sample of 60 where the total dairy farmers were 240. Food security status of household of dairy farmer was measured on the basis of their per capita calorie consumption per day. Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient Correlation (r) was computed to explore the relationship of the respondents selected characteristics and their food security status. It is 40% percent moderately food secured per year, 25% household had food secured per year and 35% households were low food secured per year. Dairy farmer’s Annual income, training, experience, credit received had a significant positive relationship with their household food security status. The Findings of the study would be helpful for policy makers. Government and non-government organizations work for development of tribal people; this study may help them achieve their goal. It will be helpful for the government to ensure their food security in the sense that they may be aware of the food insecure situation if the findings of the study are revealed to them

The mean time for 50% germination at 20 °C of 12 Indian wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars was nearly halved, from 51 h to 27 h, by soaking seed in water for 8 h prior to sowing. A delay of 24 h without further soaking, intended to simulate postponement of sowing, reduced the time saved by priming to 16%. Priming had no effect on final germination percentage. These results were used in the design of 275 on-farm, farmer-managed, participatory trials of seed priming in wheat during the 1997–98 and 1998–99 rabi (post-monsoon) seasons. In forty-one trials in tribal areas of Bihar and West Bengal states of India, seed priming gave a 13% grain yield advantage for farmers growing wheat in marginal areas with low levels of agricultural inputs. Mean benefits from seed priming of wheat in nine trials in Chitwan, Nepal were 17%. In high potential areas of Gujarat, India, 205 trials had higher rates of input use. Yield benefit from priming in these trials averaged only 5% but constituted an extra 200 kg ha−1 grain at little or no cost. In 20 trials on marginal land, with slightly saline irrigation water in Ahmadwala, Pakistan, an average yield increase of 36% was obtained using seed primed with a 0.2% gypsum solution. Collaborating farmers reported that priming wheat seed overnight resulted in faster, more complete emergence, more vigorous early growth, better tillering, earlier flowering, larger ears, earlier maturity and higher yields. In addition, many farmers also reported that foliage in primed plots was a darker shade of green than that in non-primed plots, suggesting that primed plants may have been using nitrogen more efficiently. Seed priming was popular with farmers, most of whom reported that they would prime wheat seed the following year. A survey in Gujarat in 1998–99 of 63 farmers who had tested priming in 1997–98 showed that, while 65% had primed some of their own seed, none had primed more than 50 kg, suggesting that there were practical difficulties in priming larger volumes of seed.

The role of Agricultural financing is critical, as are the instruments utilized in agricultural production. The stress relatedto the main structural structure for agricultural-based loans was placed on the roots of understanding the significant importance of agricultural loans to sustain the core roots of agriculture production even after the start of the expected economic growth cycle in India. This paper intends to identify and discusses the scenarios of past and wishes of Indian farm finance area, origins and scale of farm-finance, and reviews the expansion of farming finance. The paper is concentrated on secondary information gathered from various sources and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods (if applicable). Farmers would always in of needing capital for both agricultural needs pertaining to productivity and unproductive use. Farmers need money. Centralized and non-institutional financing sources are the key sources of finance in agriculture. In recent years, the percentage share of agriculture financed backed by non-institutionalized platforms like traditional money lenders fell drastically at a point rate from 90,9% to 20,9%. For scheduled commercial banks with CGR 32.05, the very best lending rate was 32.05, while for co-operatives with CGR short-term loans rock bottom was 13,57%. For long-term loans, for Planned Commercial Banks with CGR 22,74 the typical outstanding debt was 22,74, while for Co-operatives it had been 2.81% CGR rock bottom . The percentile share of agricultural credits slowly increased in time within the agricultural GDP after the 1950s than as a part of GDP as entire until the 1980s. Advice for lenders on the interior formalities of monetary institutions should improve access to institutional loans further. Microfinance and Kisan Credit Cards (KCC) should be adopted and simplified so as to alleviate the suffering of low, poor, and simply linked tribal farmers within the Self Help Group (SHG).

As definitions of “family” have evolved in the US over the past several decades, so too has child welfare agencies’ need to provide appropriate and meaningful services. This article discusses the findings and conclusions drawn from a case study involving two different types of social work agencies: Native American child welfare and not- for-profit family services. Within this discussion, the authors use their findings from case study vignette focus groups to explore how the definitions of family impact the provision of services.At each agency, participants addressed issues surrounding domestic violence, teen pregnancy, child welfare involvement and the inclusion of extended families as part of client’s support network. By focusing on the changing social concept of “family,” the study’s respondents discussed the need for direct practice using broader, more inclusive approaches to family and child welfare. Through the comparison of two agencies which serve different demographics, the article makes clear that further study is needed, and a wider scope must be considered, in order to adequately serve America’s expanding population in need of family services, direct practice and extended support.

Abstract Native Americans and white ranchers/farmers in eastern Montana and western South Dakota have often been in conflict over natural resources, such as water and grazing lands. But in the 1970s, the two groups began to develop a common interest in protecting the rural environment from large-scale development. Since the 1980s, they developed a series of interethnic environmental alliances that successfully opposed coal and uranium mines, bombing ranges, and other "outside" threats to their lands and cultures. A common defense of the local place provided a path out of historic natural resources conflicts. Alliances tended to be initiated by traditionalist and activist Native Americans who strongly asserted their tribal identity at the same time as they built bridges to white neighbors around common environmental concerns. This approach simultaneously strengthened a recognition of difference and similarities between Native and non-Native communities. The grassroots alliances promoted a territorially based, multiethnic "place membership" to build cooperation across racial lines, rather than state-sponsored "reconciliation" programs. Continuing cultural and economic differences made individual alliances difficult to sustain, although the series of alliances progressively improved relations between certain local communities.

Tasar culture is being practiced in Maharashtra since last 200 years by the tribal folks of four eastern districts of the state. However, the productivity of tasar cocoons in the state is hovering around average of 2000-4000 cocoons/100 Dfls (Disease Free layings) throughout the year against the norm of 6000 cocoons which might be due to the non-adoption or low adoption of improved tasar rearing technologies by the tasar silkworm rearers. Thus, present study was conducted to investigate the impact of adoption of improved tasar silkworm rearing technologies as a strategy for improving tasar cocoon production in the state. For the study, an “Ex Post Facto” research designed was used and 50 adopted seed cocoon rearers and 50 non-adopted seed cocoon rearers were selected through random sampling method. The results of the study showed that, during the Ist Crop of Daba TV rearing, the average cocoon yield of the farmers who have adopted the tasar silkworm rearing technologies ranged from 2907 to 3612 cocoons per 100 dfls while in case of non-adopter it ranged from 2316 to 2616 cocoons per 100 dfls. The overall improvement in cocoon yield in the technology adopted lots over that of control lot was ranged from 26.58 to 32.08 per cent. Similarly, during IInd crop rearing of Daba TV, the cocoon yield of the farmers who adopted the technology ranged from 3126 to 4123 cocoons per 100 dfls while in the control, it ranged from 2639 to 3493 cocoons per 100 dfls with the overall improvement ranged from 11.80 to 20.29 per cent. Moreover, during IIIrd crop rearing of Daba TV, the cocoon yield of the farmers who adopted the technology ranged from 5322 to 6487 cocoons per 100 dfls compared to non- adopted of technologies which ranged from 4006 to 5213 per 100 dfls. The paired t test showed that there was a significant improvement in cocoon yield due to the adoption of the improved tasar silkworm rearing technology by the adopted seed cocoon rearers in all three crops of Daba TV eco-race. Also, a significant improvement was noticed in the cocoon and shell weight in all the three crops of Daba TV. The study suggests that the effective technology transfer strategies should be developed and implemented in the state coupled with the suitable training programs so as to convince farmers about the benefits of adoption improved tasar silkworm rearing technologies.

Livestock is an important integral part to the sustainability of economy of this nation and livelihood improvement of farmers, especially resource poor tribal farmers. Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) programme is a developmental programme of Government of India meant solely for the development of tribal area throughout India. So a pilot study was made at Gawandh tribal village of Peint taluka, Nashik, Maharashtra for the economic upliftment and livelihood improvement of tribal people with the object of overall development of tribal area. It was revealed that implementation of goat farming by 20 women tribal farmers at Gawandh tribal village, located at Nashik district of Maharashtra has benefitted tribal beneficiary immensefully. Survey report revealed that the average total income of the farmers at the beginning of the programme was ` 15,180 from all sources like agriculture, daily wage, but after four years of continuing this programme, tribal woman farmer on an average earned ` 50,565 from goat farming, besides 12 goats were remaining in their heard. So, income of tribal farmers has become more than triple in a period of four years through rearing of goat. Performance of Osmanabadi goat in the agro-climatic condition of Nashik was also good with high growth and twinning per cent (53.40%).

Forests inhabit a large number of trees, shrubs, climbers, non-timber forest products and a number of wild edible fruits. These wild edible fruits are an indispensable constituent of human life and rich in vitamins, minerals, fibres, antioxidants, alkaloids, and phenolics. Many of them are good source of medicines. The present study was undertaken to document wild edible fruits of Arunachal Pradesh, India, and their socioeconomic importance in the sustainable rural economy. The study revealed that altogether 50 wild edible fruits belonging to 31 families are used against a number of ailments. They have a number of uses in the socioeconomic life of rural people such as constructional timbers, firewood, charcoal, fodder, fish poisoning, dyes, oils, etc. Although these fruits play an important role in the life of tribal people, these valuable species have been vanishing at a very fast rate. Therefore, promoting their sustainable use and increasing their abundance in different landscapes through the agroforestry system must immediately be undertaken. The claimed therapeutic values are to be critically studied and dynamic conservation of associated indigenous knowledge among local tribal communities should be carried out through policy interventions, implementation of farmer’s rights, and generation of awareness among the local people. Policy makers should immediately undertake strategic plans for both in situ and ex situ conservation of wild edible fruits that have ethno-medicinal values. In addition, the orally transmitted therapeutic values of wild edible fruits should be urgently documented to safeguard these valuable species from further extinction.

This study was carried out during the year 2014-15 to explore the perceived constraints encountered by the tribal dairy farmers in the successful adoption of Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFPs). Out of 27 districts in Chhattisgarh, three tribal populated districts were selected for this study from northern hills zone of the state and totally 300 respondents were selected for constraints analysis. The study revealed that 55.33 % of the tribal farmers realised that insufficient knowledge and awareness towards good dairy farming practices is the major constraints in the adoption process, majority (70.00 %) of the tribal farmers perceived that lack of progeny tested superior bulls for AI and natural service are the main constraint in the adoption of good breeding practices, about (75.70 %) of the tribal farmers expressed the higher cost of concentrates, mineral mixtures and vitamin supplements are the main constraints in the adoption of good feeding practices, majority (70.70 %) of the tribal farmers responded that less number of veterinary hospitals in their locality is the main constraints and its ranks first in the healthcare constraints list, little less than three-fourths (67.67 %) of the tribal farmers articulated that lack of advanced farm machineries (portable milking unit) for small dairy holders is the main constraints in the adoption of good management practices and about three-fourths (75.30 %) of the tribal farmers conveyed that the lack of insurance for longer period is the main constraints and tops in the socio-economic constraints.

Agriculture is playing a vital role in Indian economy. Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for the 58 per cent of the Indian peoples. In the country, 44.2 per cent workforce is employed in this sector for sustain their livelihood. It is life line of majority of the peoples. The present study entitled ‘Extent of Adoption of Diversified Farming Practices by Tribal Farmers of Madhya Pradesh’ was conducted in the Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh. The Khargone district comprises of total number of nine community development blocks (CDBs). Out of these, only one block i.e. Bhagwanpura was selected purposively from the district because this block was having maximum tribal population among other blocks of the district. The study was conducted with two types of tribal farmers i.e., specialized farming and diversified farming practicing tribal farmers. A total 200 tribal farmers, in which 100 specialized farming and 100 diversified farming practicing tribal farmers were selected through the snow ball random sampling method from the ten selected village Panchyats. The results revealed that all the variables i.e., age, educational, type of family, size of family, occupation, annual income, housing pattern, social participation, size of land holding, material possession, source of information utilization pattern, contact with extension personnel, scientific orientation, achievement motivation and risk orientation are found significant positively associated with adoption level of the tribal farmers who are involved in the diversified farming practices.

Goat rearing is one of the important supplementary activities in tribal areas of our country. It provides emergency income security to the vulnerable tribal farmers besides social status in the community. However, this occupation is associated with many problems at present and the tribal goat farmers are mostly affected. The present study was undertaken to find out the problems encountered by the tribal farmers in goat rearing which affect their livelihood. Kandhamal district of Odisha was purposively selected for the study as this district is highly concentrated with local goats. From randomly selected four blocks of the district, four villages were also selected randomly from each block. Thereafter, seven goat farmers from each village were selected randomly which constitute the sample size of 112 goat farmers for the study. The data for the study was collected personally by the researcher with the help of pre-tested interview schedule. The study employed ex-post facto research design to capture field data. The constraints were ranked by using Garrett's ranking technique. The study revealed that insufficient subsidy and support from government, unavailability of good quality kids to start a farm, tribal farmers lack of exposure to successful goat farms in the nearby area, goat farming as a low caste activity and facing difficulty to sell the goats at door step as major constraints perceived by the tribal goat farmers in rearing goats for their livelihood. The State Animal Husbandry Department may take up the awareness programme to address these issues related to the financial, operational, extension and marketing constraints faced by the tribal goat farmers to support their livelihood as they are most vulnerable section of the society.

A descriptive cross sectional study named "Anthropometric status between tribal and non tribal school children" was conducted on Guimara primary school, Matiranga, Kharagrachari and Thana primary school, Sitakund, Chittagong to assess the difference in nutritional status between tribal and non tribal school children aged 6 to 10 years in terms of selected indicators. The indicators were height for age Z score, weight for height Z score, and weight for age Z score. Data were collected by interview from mother of the child through semi-structured questionnaire and measuring height and weight of 128 children. Among them 63 were selected from tribal community and 65 from non tribal area. The study revealed that 9.2% non tribal and 7.9% tribal children were severely stunted, 12.3% non tribal and 1.6% tribal were moderately wasted and 9.2% non tribal and 1.6% tribal children were moderately underweight. In relation to sex among tribal children 12.9% tribal boys and 3.1% tribal girls were severely stunted, only 3.2% tribal boys were both moderately wasted and underweight. In case of non tribal children 17.9% boys and 2.7% girls were severely stunted, 17.9% boys and 8.1% girls were moderately wasted and 17.9% boys and 2.7% girls were moderately underweight. According to the age group of 6 to 7 years it was found that, only 4.2% non tribal children were severely stunted and 29.2% were moderately stunted where as 12% tribal children were moderately stunted. In both case of moderately wasting and underweight non tribal were 8.5% more than tribal children and among 8 to 10 years age group it was 12.2% and 7.3% more respectively and in case of severely stunted tribal children were 1% more than non tribal. Improper dietary practice was also found among the two group of study population. Information and health education should be provided to the parents of the children by community participation regarding proper use of sanitary latrine, provision of safe drinking water and proper dietary practice.Faridpur Med.

Background: Preoxygenation during anesthesia can be done by 3 min tidal volume breath and eight vital capacity breath in 1 min, conventionally. Population of our country is not homogenous. Aims and Objectives: The present study was conducted to validate preoxygenation processes in people of eastern India. Materials and Methods: Total 140 patients of ASA grade I and II, age group 20–50 posted for surgeries under GA were allotted in TV and VC group. Every odd number and even number patient was tested for TV method and VC method, respectively, with a Magill circuit and airtight face mask with 100% oxygen flow at a rate of 10 L/min. Time and number of breaths were noted when end tidal oxygen concentration ≥90% in TV and VC group, respectively. Results: In TV method, the mean time (in minute) was 3.10±0.27 and 3.13±0.24 for tribal and non-tribal sub-group (P=0.80); 3.02±0.37 and 3.10±0.27 for tribal and non-tribal male (P=0.57); and 3.18±0.05 and 3.16±0.21 for tribal and non-tribal female (P=0.57). In VC method, mean number of VC breaths was 8.32±0.60 and 8.43±0.74 for tribal and non-tribal sub-group (P=0.76); 8.75±0.49 and 8.23±0.70 for tribal and non-tribal male (P=0.42); and 8.20±0.60 and 8.60±0.72 for tribal and non-tribal female (P=0.16). Patients completing preoxygenation in TV and VC method – tribal: 22% and 53%, non-tribal: 4% and 62%, tribal male: 22% and 20%, non-tribal male: 8% and 68%, tribal female: 0% and 60%, and non-tribal female: 0 and 57%, respectively. Conclusion: No significant difference found between tribal and non-tribal groups of both sexes in each method. Completion of preoxygenation was higher in VC group, though not tested statistically.

Objectives: Our objective was to provide data contrasting commercial tobacco retailing in Tribal versus non-Tribal jurisdictions, in 3 states. These data may be relevant for US Food and Drug Administration regulation of Tribal retailing. Methods: With Tribal permission, observations were made on commercial tobacco advertising, product variety, pricing, and retail concept for stores within and just outside Tribal jurisdictions in areas of Arizona (AZ), California (CA), and Oklahoma (OK). Results: A total of 87 Tribal (20 AZ, 53 CA, 14 OK) and 67 (10, 43, 14) non-Tribal retailer visits were completed. There was substantial variation across tribes, with sales in AZ and most CA Tribal jurisdictions handled at convenience stores, whereas OK Tribal retailing was done mostly in specialized tobacco-specialty shops. Electronic cigarettes were ubiquitous across Tribal and non-Tribal outlets. Advertising and breadth of cigarette offerings was most extensive in the tobacco specialty retailers of Tribal OK. Surprisingly, Tribally manufactured cigarettes were found only at some CA Tribal retailers. Conclusions: Some Tribal commercial tobacco outlets actually price above their non-Tribal competitors and there is substantial variation in retailing strategy across Tribal jurisdictions. Tribal governments can continue to evaluate and reform commercial tobacco retailing so as to improve Tribal health.
