Keeping in mind the general outline of the studies as mentioned, the structure of the pilot projects in the section are given here. All the projects will be studied through six modules. The first four modules will be common to all the projects, while the next two, though same in structure, will be specific to each project. Acquisition of books, articles, newspaper cuttings, etc., and any other written material on the subject concerning the project. Indigenous administrative terms to be listed in the context of the above.
Various government reports on population to be acquired and scrutinized.
The time frame for modules I, II and III will be six months. In the case of module III the time limit may be increased if necessary. The vocabulary will be compiled by asking questions in relation to the body, physical environment, climate, plants and animals. Secondary sources will be scanned if available and list prepared of the indigenous terms. This module is project-specific.
