Terrace Farming - On hilly slopes, terraces act as bunds and prevent the soil from being washed away by running water. Terrace farming is practiced with successful results in Japan, South-East Asia and the USA.
Shelter Belts - Peasants plant trees in several rows to reduce wind erosion. They are called ‘wind breaks’.
Contour Ploughing - Ploughing along contours on a slope prevents soil being washed away by rains or by surface run off. Contours act like bunds. Terraces are leveled into step-like small fields with even slopes. Contour ploughing is common in countries like Japan, China and some of the South-East Asian countries.
Strip Cropping - In this system, crops are grown in alternate strips of land in order to check the effect of the winds.
Construction of Dams - Rivers are known to cause soil erosion. Dams are built in the upper course of the rivers in order to control the erosion of soil.

- The lives of the tribal people depended on free movement within forest and on being able to use the land and forests for growing their crops.
- But when British brought changes in forest laws, their life was badly affected.
- The British extended their control over all forests and declared that forests were state property.
- Some forests were classified as reserved forest where these people were not allowed.
- As a result, many jhum cultivators were forced to move to other areas in search of work and livelihood.

2) The cycle of loans never ended.
3) The planters insisted that indigo should be grown on the best soils.

In NIJ cultivation, the planter themselves produce indigo while under Ryot system, planter get indigo produced by ryot.
In NIJ cultivation planter directly employ hired labour to produce indigo while in ryot system, planter force the ryot to sign an agreement to produce indigo.
In NIJ cultivation less than 25 percent of land should be under indigo cultivation while in ryot system, at least 25 percent of land should be under indigo cultivation.
Under NIJ cultivation it is very difficult to find labour while in ryot system, planter sometimes forces the village head on behalf of ryot to sign the agreement to produce indigo.
Under ryot system planter give loan to ryot to produce indigo, this is not applied in case of NIJ cultivation.

Nepal is on the northern borders of India. It has witnessed several people’s struggles for democracy. The previous Constitution of Nepal, which was adopted in 1990, had the final authority rested with the King. Thus, people’s struggle in 1990 established democracy that lasted for 12 years until 2002. However, in October 2002, King Gyanendra cited the Maoist uprising in the countryside and started taking over different aspects of the government with the army’s assistance. The King then finally took control as the head of government in February 2005.
In 2006, people’s movement for democracy began gaining immense force and it repeatedly refused the small concessions that the King made. In April 2006, the King restored the Third Parliament and asked the political parties to form a government. Finally, in 2007, Nepal adopted an Interim Constitution.

The tribes were considered to be “People of the forest" whose special habitat in the hilly of and forest regions made their economic, social and political attributes. At present, except the North-Eastern states, there are no areas of the country which are inhabited exclusively by tribal people.
The regions where the tribal population is concentrated, their economic and social conditions are much more than those of non-tribals.
However, after independence Adivasi lands were acquired for new river and dam projects. Consequently, millions of Adivasis were displayed without any adequate compensation or rehabilitation.
The resources of Adivasis are being taken away in the name of '03110031 development’ and ‘Economic growth’.
For example projects such as Sardar Sarovar Dam on the river Narmada and the Polavaram Dam on river Godavari would displace hundred of thousands of Adivasis. The policy of economic liberalisation is leaving Adivasis to greater destitution.
