Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Shifting cultivation (known locally by terms like Jhum or Podu) is an ancestral slash-and-burn farming style restricted mainly to hilly, forested terrain in states like Assam, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. West Bengal is primarily characterized by flat alluvial plains dominated by intensive sedentary wet-paddy farming, meaning shifting cultivation is not practiced there.
