Traditional knowledge (TK) plays a very important role in the lives of millions of people around the world. There is an immense need for documentation of traditional knowledge especially in countries rich in biodiversity, such as India. Bargi is one of the major dams constructed on the river Narmada in Madhya Pradesh. Local communities have used various fishing methods since time immemorial.

This study shows that Multi-cob baring murlimakai is used for various purposes such as mouthwatering delicious foods preparation such as popcorn, chapati, roti, chyakdung. Makkaiko chamal, makkaiko pitho, makkaiko laddu and makkaiko dalla.

Jhum cultivation is considered highly destructive to environment as it involves burning and clearing vast areas of forest so that cultivation can be done for a few years. It does not only destroy forest but has a chain of effects and after-effects leading to multifarious adverse conditions of soil and climate.

The paper explore the preparation of traditional food called "Numsing", a fish product developed by the Mising community of Assam. The product is the outcome of a wonderful traditional technology which combines three well established food processing techniques –drying, smoking and fermentation and also a compatible means of preserving fish for scares-fish seasons as a partial solution to protein malnutrition.

The present study is an attempt to isolate and optimize the fermentation conditions of three fungus, namely Trichoderma virens, Alternaria alternata and Curvularia lunata to get pigments for the purpose of textile dyeing.

The present study showed that dyed samples were tested for antimicrobial activity and found to possess antibacterial activity. The flowers of Plumeria rubra offer a potential source of natural dye for cottage dyeing industry.

This study illustrates that the colour values of plain woven cotton fabrics made from ring- and compact-spun warp and weft yarns have been compared with respect to their mass and hairiness of fabrics.

The study is based on the colour component in the roots of the plant Morinda angustifolia which has been isolated and its chemical structure established on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic studies.

The study is based on the dye extracted from palas flower petals has been used on cotton fabric and a comparative study is carried out for conventional exhaust dyeing against the pad dyeing.

The preliminary phytochemical tests reveal the presence of tannins in the bark extract of the plant, which is responsible for imparting brown colour shades to the silk and cotton fabrics.
