Rehabilitation of Jhum Cultivators
through Rubber Plantation
“Shifting cultivation is the custom of
cultivating clearings scattered in the
reservoir of natural vegetation(forest or
grass-woodland) and of abandoning
them as soon as the soil is exhausted;
And this includes the custom of shifting
the homesteads in order to follow the
cultivator’s search for new fertile land.”
