Indigenous technical knowledge regarding agriculture and livestock practiced by the farmers in Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir

Indigenous knowledge is the systematic body of knowledge acquired by local people through accumulation of experiences, informal experiments and intimate understanding of environment in a given culture. Indigenous knowledge is not only economically viable but also locally feasible. Indigenous technologies in agriculture are low cost, organic and eco-friendly in nature. They do not cause any damage to the air, water and soil; are safe to human beings and free from environmental pollution. But indigenous technology is diminishing day by day due to modern technology. In the present study the ITK of the farmers of Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir has been compiled.
