North East (NE) India, commonly known as the 'land of seven sisters', is a territory of diverse ethnic groups, tribes and culture. Shifting cultivation, locally known as 'jhum' or 'jhumming', is a way of life for many of these tribes since time immemorial. The percentage utilization of cultivable area in this region (62.04) is less than the national average (73.05).

Abstract


North East (NE) India, commonly known as the 'land of seven sisters', is a territory of diverse ethnic groups, tribes and culture. Shifting cultivation, locally known as 'jhum' or 'jhumming', is a way of life for many of these tribes since time immemorial. The percentage utilization of cultivable area in this region (62.04) is less than the national average (73.05).
