  16. Indigenous knowledge Indigenous knowledge widely exists in the form of monitoring astrological calendar, stars, flowering, movement of animals and birds, winds and clouds, changes in comfort (body temperature,sweating) etc.. Indigenous knowledge is strong among the elders especially with farmers and fishermen. However they feel it is difficult to predict due to erratic weather and climate pattern Limited knowledge among business community In some communities the knowledge is passed on to younger generation while in others the younger generation rely only on DOM forecast
