Abstract

Introduction: Khandesh is a part of the erstwhile region of Bombay Presidency and the present state of Maharashtra (India). It is an upland basin of Tapi Valley and one of the most northerly section of the Deccan plateau. It extents between 20°8' and 22°7' north latitude and 73°42' and 76°28' east longitude (Anonymous, 1880). It is bordered in the North-West by the state of Madya Pradesh and Gujarat and on East and South by Buldhana district of Vidarbha region, Aurangabad district of Marathwada region and Nasik district of Maharashtra. Khandesh has predominantly Hindu population. The other people belong to the religions viz., Mohamedon (Muslim), Buddha, Christen, etc. This region of Maharashtra state is predominantly agrarian and also rear domestic animals for the purposes of agriculture, milk and flesh. Agriculture is although a mainstay of livelihood, some communities, especially tribals, partially depend upon bioresources from wild vegetation in the hilly parts of Khandesh.
