Description :
A series of changes in the production techniques transformed the primitive food gathering and hunting economy into settled agricultural economy; departure from the colonial approach to tribal development would involve proper undertaking of proto-science based production system of tribal communities and protecting them from the onslaught of tribal and non-tribal rich. A large number of anthropologists have studied shifting cultivation. But most of them do not enable us to understand us its scientific base. Tribal production techniques and their social systems were in harmony with nature. Thus, It is obvious and necessary to analyze and understand the determinants of tribal’s knowledge about recommended agricultural practices and the level of adoption of these practices made by them.
