North East India is one of the culturally diverse regions in the world inhabited by more than 200 tribes in eight states. Also, the region is one of the biodiversity hot spots of the world. The region is endowed with rich floral, faunal and sociocultural diversity. These tribes have originated from the ethnic groups of Tibeto-Burmese and Indo-Mongoloids1. The tribal communities of this region live in hilly areas and depend on forest resources for their livelihood. Shifting cultivation is the major agricultural land use system in undulating hilly terrains of this region.

North East India is one of the culturally diverse regions in the world inhabited by more than 200 tribes in eight states. Also, the region is one of the biodiversity hot spots of the world. The region is endowed with rich floral, faunal and sociocultural diversity. These tribes have originated from the ethnic groups of Tibeto-Burmese and Indo-Mongoloids1. The tribal communities of this region live in hilly areas and depend on forest resources for their livelihood. Shifting cultivation is the major agricultural land use system in undulating hilly terrains of this region.
