IIT Guwahati Jnana Ranjan Prusty December 2013 ii TH-1231_08614107 Abstract Indigenous knowledge systems have been produced by local people to get in touch with environment by living in a particular area across generations and helps people in decision-making about their fundamental activities. The Western knowledge systems, depicted as widespread and reliable, have marginalized and dominated indigenous knowledge systems and have an unfavorable impact on all forms of performances of indigenous knowledge system which has resulted in marginalization or in some cases loss of practices of indigenous knowledge systems. Legal, government and academic channels transmit such ethnocentric knowledge to promote capitalist and often ecologically destructive policies and practices. The current system of erosion of indigenous knowledge system is in progress because of rapid growth of population, global markets, learning system and growth process related to rapid transformation and cultural homogenization. The intercontinental market-oriented fabric production focused on only mounting the manufacture and undervaluing the nearby custom-made handloom technologies in this manner responsible for the attrition of indigenous expertise namely handloom. Even the government- sponsored strategies and proposals do not have any realistic practicability at the proletariat level. With increasing poverty powerlooms are selected over environmentally- sound local practices such as handlooms. With escalating paucity, the weavers for instance may also have very less time and very fewer resources to uphold the exciting character of indigenous knowledge through their local researches and innovations in that way contributing to the predicament of the handloom industry.

There is a parallel study of a similar sample in Bolangir District (NRI Report No. 2715), and this summary is common to both. These all help to illustrate both the personal struggles of many of the people in the District, and also some of the more general issues affecting the potential of non-farm activities and income-generating activities (IGAs). The report is part of a study of the factors that can contribute to the expansion of the non-farm rural economy in India, which also includes a case study in Madhya Pradesh. The purpose is to identify policy interventions that can expand non-farm activities through the understanding of how to promote peoples’ access to them, and how to provide the governance framework that is most conducive to their promotion.

  • Odisha As a Multicultural State: from Multiculturalism to Politics of Sub-Regionalism
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VII, No II. Quarter II 2016 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 ODISHA AS A MULTICULTURAL STATE: FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM Artatrana Gochhayat Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, under West Bengal State University, Barasat, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The state of Odisha has been shaped by a unique geography, different cultural patterns from neighboring states, and a predominant Jagannath culture along with a number of castes, tribes, religions, languages and regional disparity which shows the multicultural nature of the state. But the regional disparities in terms of economic and political development pose a grave challenge to the state politics in Odisha. Thus, multiculturalism in Odisha can be defined as the territorial division of the state into different sub-regions and in terms of regionalism and sub- regional identity. The paper attempts to assess Odisha as a multicultural state by highlighting its cultural diversity and tries to establish the idea that multiculturalism is manifested in sub- regionalism. Bringing out the major areas of sub-regional disparity that lead to secessionist movement and the response of state government to it, the paper concludes with some suggestive measures. INTRODUCTION The concept of multiculturalism has attracted immense attention of the academicians as well as researchers in present times for the fact that it not only involves the question of citizenship, justice, recognition, identities and group differentiated rights of cultural disadvantaged minorities, it also offers solutions to the challenges arising from the diverse cultural groups. It endorses the idea of difference and heterogeneity which is manifested in the cultural diversity.
