        abstract = {Vanilla can be grown in the forest areas of Jharkhand where trees are sparsely present. It can also be grown under artificial shade provided with firm shade nets. Agro-climatic condition of Jharkhand is almost similar to the agro-climatic condition required for vanilla cultivation. Vanilla does not require much water. It requires well drained soil having pH ranging between 6.0- 6.5, which should be rich in humus and organic matter. Fortunately, Santhal Pargana Jharkhand has suitable soil for cultivation of vanilla. Reported ideal time for its cultivation is May-June. The vine normally starts yielding from the third year after planting and the yield stabilize by the fifth year. It yields optimum for next 8-10 years. Initially pilot level intervention and adaptation can be helpful to understand the ecology, economics and management of this crop. Once it gets established, both large and small scale adoption of this crop for the cultivation can be convinced and achieved amongst the farmers.  Thus, it can be concluded that vanilla cultivation can provide a diversified cultivation practices amongst the farmer and once get established properly can improve the socioeconomic condition of the people of Santhal Pargana, Jharkhand.},
