Abstract

Farmers still observe the intensity of wind direction, colour of the clouds and plant traits for rainfall predictions in addition, they also rely on the agro-meteorological information disseminated by the IAAS units of RVSKVV, Gwalior. Low mastery of indigenous knowledge practices by young generations and persistently changing weather patterns have challenged community reliance on indigenous knowledge for climate change adaptations.
