The vegetable crops, which are neither grown commercially on large scale nor traded widely, may be termed as underutilized. Tripura is the second smallest state among the eight north-eastern states of India. There are 19 ethnic groups viz. Tripuri, Jamatia, Reang, Noatia, Chakma, Bhil, Bhutia, Chaimal, Garo, Halam, Khasia, Kuki, Lepcha, Lushai, Mog, Munda, Orang, Santhal and Uchoi residing in this state. Each group has its own unique language, culture, and food habit. Tripura has a diversity of underutilized vegetables embedded with rich nutrient potentials and medicinal properties along with the ability to stand against adverse climatic conditions. However, these underutilized vegetables are still neglected due to the lack of complete knowledge about their performance and input requirements, lack of planting materials, lack of information on how they can fit into production systems and non-viability of indigenous vegetable production like the major cultivated species of vegetables. In this context, it is necessary to take up programme on genetic resources exploration, management, utilization and improvement of these underutilized vegetable crops to ensure food and nutritional security for the future. This review article emphasizes the diversity of underutilized vegetables found in Tripura, their nutritional and medicinal value which could ensure food as well as nutritional security in India. Keywords: Underutilized vegetables, Tripura, North -East India. INTRODUCTION range of underutilized vegetable crops. Some The vegetable crops, which are neither grown of these names are Orphan, abandoned, commercially on large scale nor traded widely, neglected, lost, underused, local, minor, may be termed as underutilized. Different traditional, forgotten, alternative, niche, names are used interchangeably to describe the promising and underdeveloped. Cite this article: Debbarma, S., Jamatia, J., & Singh, T.C. (2020).

Raja Reddi and Urmila Pingle in memory of our journeys in tribal country Preface ― xi ― This book tells of observations among Indian tribal populations spanning the period from 1940 to 1980. Ever since 1936, when a study of the Konyak Nagas marked the beginning of my career as an anthropological field-worker, I have maintained contacts with Indian tribesmen. True, there were years when I concentrated on the study of the mountain peoples of Nepal, but even then I paid periodic visits to some of the tribal areas of India, and this enabled me to keep abreast of current developments. When in 1976 I retired from the Chair of Asian Anthropology at the University of London and could devote more time to fieldwork, I decided to undertake a systematic investigation of social and economic changes affecting the tribal societies which I had studied in the 1940s. A grant from the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, as well as subsidiary awards from the Leverhulme Trust Fund and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, provided the material basis for this project, which included also the funding of parallel research by my young colleague Dr.

    International Journal of Linguistics and Literature (IJLL) ISSN(P): 2319-3956; ISSN(E): 2319-3964 Vol. 4, Issue 5, Aug - Sep 2015, 33-42 © IASET CLASSIFIERS IN KOKBOROK S. GANESH BASKARAN Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics, Rabindranath Tagore School of Indian Languages and Cultural Studies, Assam University, Silchar, Dorgakona, Silchar, Assam, India ABSTRACT Classifiers are defined as morphemes which occur ‘in surface structures under specific conditions’; denote ‘some salient perceived or imputed characteristics of the entity to which an associated noun refers’ (Allan 1977: 285). The classifiers are primarily divided into sortal and mensural subtypes. Sortal classifiers typically individuate referents in terms of the kind of entity it is, particularly with respect to inherent properties such as shape and animacy while the mensural one distinguishes the referents in terms of quantum or amount (Lyons 1977: 463). Thepresent paper is a humble attempt to describe morphosemantic aspects of Kokborok classifiers in the light of synchronic approaches. The study is confined to the West Tripura district of Tripura State. KEYWORDS: Kokborok, Classifier, Numeral Classifiers, Sortal and Mensural Classifiers INTRODUCTION The word ‘kokborok’ is a compound word. ‘ kok ’ means ‘ language ’ and ‘ borok ’ means ‘ people ’. According to 2001 Census of India, the total population of Kokborok speakers in the State of Tripura was 761964. Robert Shafer (1966-74) has made totally different classification of Sino-Tibetan languages than from other authors. He divides Tibeto- Burman into four main groups: Bodic, Baric, Burmic and Karenic. According to Shafer, Kokborok belongs to the Western Units of the Barish Section within the Baric Subdivision of Sino-Tibetan.
