Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 55
Abstract
The term "Scheduled Tribes" refers to specific indigenous peoples whose status is acknowledged to by the Constitution of India. The term Adivasi also applies to indigenous peoples of this area. Tribal women play an important and significant role in watershed management programme. The study revealed that the total respondents of complete participation category, 43.75 per cent were having complete participation in contour bunding and majority of respondents showed a trend of partial involvement in underground water resource development (56.25%). Out of 11 independent variables education, extension contact, size of land holding, material possession, occupation, annual income, social participation and knowledge of watershed practices were significant with extent of participation in watershed practices while age, family size and farm power were non-significant association.
