Revitalizing Traditional Crops of Lepcha
My Mom(Azee) is very curious to teach Finger Millet farming to my better half(Dechen) & Niece(Amimsha) |
We the Lepcha called these crops as Kamdak(scientific name
is Pennisetum glaucum) and Naho(scientific name is Sorghum bicolor). These
crops are cultivated a lot by our grand parents & parents a very long long
ago for different use for human and animals but now a day these crops are
rarely cultivated and one can hardly see now a day so this is kind of waking up
alarm and revitalizing the traditional crops. Bringing back a vanishing crops
of vanishing tribes.
