This book certainly specifies the SC & ST demographic status of Odisha, India and their potential skill. It is a fact that, nobody in this earth can survive in life with the government support through the different schemes and subsidies, rather the citizen’s own inherent potential skills have major role for their survival. In this book two SC communities and two ST communities have been selected from north and south Odisha, who have enormous craft and horticulture skill for their survival.
The PVTG Dongria from Niyamgiri have excellent horticulture skill in producing pineapple, jack fruits, turmeric, mango and banana, which not only consumed in Odisha market but also sale in different part of India, particularly at Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The Ghantra community people at Rayagada and Mayurbhanja are producing excellent brass metal craft through loss-wax-casting method, even if without understanding the theoretical knowledge behind this, which can be an area of research for technical people.
