The study employed Participatory Rural Appraisal and survey methods. Stakeholders’ consultations were carried out at community, district, and regional levels. The study shows that livestock mobility would continue to ensure high productivity due to changing environment, change water and feed sources, better pasture supply, etc. The livelihood of the pastoralists diversified into crop production, petty trades, wage. The study revealed that the agro-pastoralists are poorer than the pure pastoral communities indicating that farming has been adopted to cope with food insecurity caused by declining livestock herd. The study shows that pastoral is the base of Bharwad in Sadhi . The standard of life is still lacking in Bharwad communities in Padra .after independence of 67 years still they are facing the lack of basic needs in their life.they are having no pakka home for their families, they do not have fertile land for cultivation and permanent selter.Even they do not have basic education for their children so they are forced to adopt the pastoral life they do not have scope for qualitative slandered life or to adopt another source of livelihood .Finally research recommended some suggestions that government should make arrangement to increase standard of their life in the field of acricultural ,irrigation facilities,more subsidies to such communities ,arrangement of better education,helth and alternative employment facilities to their children.. | | Keywords : | | - pastoral
