The two body Cabibbo favored hadronic decays of charmed baryons into a
n octet baryon and a pseudoscalar meson are examined in the SU(3) symm
etry scheme and those of b-baryons in pole model. The numerical estima
tes for decay widths and branching ratios of some of the modes are obt
ained and are in good agreement with experiment. We also study b- cons
erving strangeness changing mode of b- baryon decays.
