Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for the overwhelming majority of the tribal population in India. Agricultural modernization has since long been introduced in the tribal areas of West Bengal, primarily with a view to raise the level of income, standard of living and lifestyle of the tribal people. The present book meant for elucidating the impact as well as adoption of modernization on tribal agriculture. The author has made a critical review of the agricultural modernization and mechanization and also the tradition of tribal agriculture. The author studied empirically the extent and nature of adoption of modern agricultural technology by the Santals and subsequently its impact on the lifestyle of the people in the locality. The obstacles or social-cultural constraints of the Santals towards the adoption of the modern agricultural technology have also been taken into consideration. Social, cultural and economic problems of the Santals have also been studied in connection with the agricultural modernization. The author estimated the maximum return over variable cost from existing cropping pattern followed by the Santals and suggested some appropriate measures to maximize net return by adopting alternative systems of cropping pattern. A close probe has also been made to evaluate the extent and nature of socio-cultural and socio-economic changes among the Santal cultivators due to agricultural modernization. The book would be of much use to the social scientists, researchers, students, planners and policy makers in the field of rural development.

Download or read book Status of Modernisation of Tribal Agriculture written by Dharam Das Vishwakarma and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernization is a process of transformation of societal structure with the target of raising production. In context of agriculture, modernization means acceptance of new and enhanced inputs, improved cultural practices and methods and techniques, farm management and marketing system. Analysis of the adoption behavior in the way of agricultural modernization of farmers in perspective of their characteristics has been made the problem of investigation in the present work. A variety of adopter's characteristics have been preferred for the present study, viz., size and ownership of operational holdings, caste, size of family, and dependency on farming, literacy and education, distance from block headquarters, sources of information and availability of irrigation facilities. Size of holdings and caste-structure are pivotal which control the modernization behavior of the farmers and their innovativeness, therefore, attention on these attributes has been given. Tribal people hardly have come forward to modernize themselves in real sense. It is evident from the comparison of tribal and non-tribal farmers of the Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh (India).

Download or read book Agriculture and a Changing Environment in Northeastern India written by Sumi Krishna and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India’s northeastern region, forged by a unique geological history and peopled by several waves of migration, is extraordinarily complex. Farming systems in the hills and the riverine plains are embedded in a heterogeneous environment, comprising forests, wetlands and fields, shaped over centuries by nature and people. Today, the environment and economy are undergoing rapid transformation, affecting peoples’ lives, livelihoods and methods of food production. The essays in this volume bring a multi-disciplinary perspective to critical aspects of the process of agricultural change, examine the gender dimensions of agriculture, and explore initiatives for sustainable livelihood and ecological conservation. Part I analyses the impact of policies and people’s own aspirations on the closely-intertwined ecology and economy of the region. Part II discusses the gender dynamics of farming, forestry and biodiversity in a socio-cultural context where women are primarily responsible for food production. Part III highlights some alternative farming interventions and community-based efforts for environmental conservation, sustainable resource management and improved livelihoods. This book will be useful to scholars and students of agriculture, economics, development, environment and gender studies, and to those involved in policy analysis, natural resource management and community organisation, as also general readers interested in India’s northeastern region.

Download or read book Personality Of Tribal And Non Tribal School Children written by Ranjit Prasad Singh and published by Discovery Publishing House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tribals are industrious, hardy, peaceful and simple-minded people and have to be admired for the uniqueness of their culture. The socio-economic, educational and political development after independence have provided a new impetus to the forces of dynamism in the tribal India. Contact with urban people, spread of education, rising aspirations of the tribal youth, growth of social and political leaders all have combined to give rise to, what we may call, tribal elites. The study deals with various problems concerning the development of personality. It is found that some students are good in their studies, while others inspite of their hard labour do not do well in their studies and are frustrated. This has led psychologists as well as researchers to investigate into the different dimensions of personality.
