We can't leave our land & traditional shifting cultivation, says Baiga adivasi...

Mohan Yadav is visiting Garjan Bija village in Pushparajgarh tahsil of Anuppur district in Madhya Pradesh where he meets a adivasi farmer Chhagru Baiga who tells him that Bewar ( shifting) farming where they mix 6-7 seeds together is more suitable to them. They have not got rights under forest rights act and Govt wants them to move but they dont want to go anywhere else and continue with traditional way of farming which they learnt from their ancestors.
