compile kern systems knowledge to the villagers and record the aspects of
knowledge get not recorded paying special attention to the means of
transmission of this system from generation to generation and individual to

have caused the deterioration of kern systems and their transmission systems.
Kern systems on Agriculture, Fauna indigenous, Medicine and house hold work

were discussed. A perfect study of existence development and transmission and
their effectiveness was conducted.
The study was primarily based on primary data. Interviews were the leading

sources.
Analysed data revealed that kern systems are still preserved on a small scale and
their transmission is at a very low level. Research reveals low level of
application of kern systems has resulted in the low level of transmission of the
said systems.
