Rudrajit Sarkar

In the context of globalization, there are lot of folk communities in India, still sustaining their livelihood by utilizing natural resources on sustainable basis. The means of their survival is not the goods and services produced by the ‘civilised’ counterparts but the knowledge they have gathered orally from their forefathers. Most development programmes ignored the importance of that eco-literate people in framing sustainable livelihood policies, and hence resulted into non-sustainable outcome. Therefore, indigenous people holding indigenous, local or traditional resource based knowledge are now being put immense importance. In this background this research has been carried out in a remote Sauriya Pahariya village of Pakur district of Jharkhand as a case study to understand the contextual reality of existing pattern of livelihood sustainability.
