Indigenous technical knowledge practiced by the bodo farmers of Darrang district of Assam

2021 
Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) is a part and parcel of communities across the world. From time immemorial people have learnt to cope up with their trials and tribulations through the ITKs which are readily available and sustainable. The Bodo tribe of Assam has their own set of traditional knowledge which is in vogue till the present date. The present investigation was conducted to document the ITKs practiced by the Bodo people of two villages of Darrang district of Assam. Altogether 30 ITKs were identified by using PRA, group discussion and interview method. These ITKs may serve as a base for blending with modern technologies thereby keeping intact the ethnic authenticity of the tribal people who are otherwise reluctant to modern technologies.
