Within the selected two blocks, personal contacts were done. With thorough discussion with the help of Discussion, interviews and through field observations were done to collect data, and to take the a local contact person. Collected data was entered into Excel spreadsheet and summarized. The informations regarding Indegenous Technical Knowledge (I. T.

All the data are summarized plant wise, plant parts and their uses in diseases. Under enumeration, the recent botanical names, family and vernacular names , habit, plant parts used in diseases, method of herbal formulation as used by traditional healers, are documented. Asparagus racemosus (Sataver), Mimosa pudica (Lajwanti), Madhuca indica (Mahua), Milletta pinnata (Karanj), Zingiber officinale (Adharakh), Heritiera fomes (Sundhari plant), Cajanus cajan (Arhar), Justicia adhatoda (Basak), Nyctantus arbortristis (Harsingar), Opuntia dillenii (Nagphani), Butea monosperma (Plash) were given. The people of the study areas and surroundings areas visit the traditional healers for various health problems, and the local healer treat their ailments by preparing medicine (formulations) from medicinal plants present in any around of their habitat and they charge very nominal fee. During field visit, it was observed that some healers hesitate to reveal the formulation or even not ready to divulge the name of particular plants and wants some many for sharing their I.T.K. Their reservation is also due to that if outside people will know this, they will eradicate them for their economical gain, and the plant will lose its effectiveness. They transfer the knowledge only to the main juni or family members, who will continue this practice after him. They dout want to transfer their knowledge to other seet or east or other veligion and consider this knowledge as gift of their family datei kuldevta. Transfer of knowledge among the community in the study areas has mainly been taking place from the father to the trusted eldest son or selected well behaved son through long time exposure and experience learned and gained from his father. Yet this knowledge could not be transferred freely outside blood relationship of traditional healers. | en_US |
