Abstract

This article provides a systematic analysis of the challenges perceived by pastoralists of hilly regions of Jammu and Kashmir in the utilization of Indigenous technical knowledge. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect primary data from 120 ITK users. The findings indicated that practitioners faced various challenges in managing their indigenous knowledge. Inability to identify the right plant, no scientific validation, modification and optimization of indigenous technical knowledge, perception about indigenous technical knowledge that it is out dated,  inconvenient and time consuming nature of indigenous technical knowledge were most serious constraints perceived by the indigenous technical knowledge practitioners.
