Abstract: The way of life in Bastar continues to be dictated by ritual. Even today, agricultural practices are traditional. Use of wooden ploughs is massive while the number of iron ploughs is stumpy. The same is true of improved rice cultivation. The number of rice varieties and hybrids are truncated while the local landraces and germplasm are privileges. The usage of traditional agricultural implements has lowered the production of agriculture but the sustainability is maintained and crop biodiversity protected. The kharif crops grown here are paddy, millets, urad, arhar, jowar and maize. Sustainable agriculture, in terms of food security, rural occupation, and environmentally sustainable technologies such as soil conservation, sustainable natural resource management and biodiversity protection, are essential for holistic rural development. The research was carried out S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. The materials was used ninety four local landraces of rice and three standard checks during Kharif 2016 in RBD Design, 16 qualitative and 20 quantitative characters observations was recorded. Analysis of variance showed significantly differences for all characters; out of 20, only seven principal components (PCs) exhibited more than 1.00 eigen value, and showed 77.42% variability among the traits studied. The PC1 was related to quality characters while PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5, PC6 and PC7 associated with quantitative traits.
