The natural environment of Chalsa has left a visible impact on the settlement pattern, house types, economic activities, gender relations, family and kinship structure, standard of living and religious beliefs and practices. The present paper seeks to establish the sustainable nature of relations that existed between man and the physical environment in Mangalbari and Mathachulka Villages of Chalsa region.
