| Abstract: | Indigenous knowledge is the accumulated knowledge, skills and
technology of the local people, derived from the direct interaction of human
beings and their environment. The study was conducted at Coimbatore and Erode
districts, in the western zone of Tamil Nadu with an objective of documenting
the indigenous technologies adopted by the dry land farmers. Documentation of
indigenous technologies was done adopting both individual and group approach.
The paper describes five indigenous technologies involving cow-based products
used by farmers for various purposes and an analysis on its impact. It is hoped
to help the farmers to understand and exchange the cheaper, viable and reliable
technologies in their areas. |
