A detailed inventory was made of all plant resources of the bari-biti of Dakhsin Chamuria village. A "plant book" was edited and published in cooperation with the villagers, who have a thorough working knowledge of local plant resources. The authors learned, through a "home garden development program" advocated by an agricultural extension worker in the Thana, that the only kind of program likely to succeed would be one which enhances the indigenous "style and contrivance" developed by villagers through time-tested interaction with the environment. Some closely-woven territorial societies of women were identified on the basis of living space, radius of daily life, daily interaction, and kinship and social relations. These territorial societies were used as the unit of communicating and disseminating information on rural development activities being undertaken by the JSRDE Project team.
