The research examines the level of compatibility of indigenous knowledge and practices in agricultural processes in a harsh situation of climate change. The study was conducted on Ajodhya hill, a tribal dominated area, which comes under the Purulia district is the western most district of West Bengal as well as the part of Chhotonagpur plateau. The whole research was executed based on empirical study. The data was collected through personal interview, focused group discussion (FGD), open-ended questionnaire, and observation. Here, five tribal villages were selected, namely, Shilingda, Chhattrajara, Usuldungri, Rugurughutu, and Puniashason. Men and women are playing different role in agricultural practices. Different age group have also involved in different stages of crop cultivation. Elders often play an important role in preserving traditional crop varieties and seeds. The Santals here have adapted their agricultural practices differently based on the topography, soil type, and water availability in each of these regions. They even establish community seed banks among themselves where seeds are collectively stored and managed. The Santal tribe of the Ajodhya hills traditionally cultivate hardy and drought-resistant crops like maize and millet. Efforts to respectfully incorporate this knowledge into today’s modern agricultural systems will no doubt be highly relevant to addressing the global climate crisis.
