  • Managing Distress Migration and Enhancing Resilience Through Climate Appropriate Interventions Under MGNREGS in Odisha Centurion University, Bhubaneswar January 2019
    Managing Distress Migration and Enhancing Resilience through climate appropriate interventions under MGNREGS in Odisha Centurion University, Bhubaneswar January 2019 Infrastructure for Climate Resilient Growth in India (ICRG) Programme Submitted By: IPE GLOBAL LIMITED IPE Global House, B - 84, Defence Colony, New Delhi - 110 024, India www.ipeglobal.com In association with 1 Evidence Papers Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha January 2019 – March 2019 Infrastructure for Climate Resilient Growth in India (ICRG) Programme Submitted By: IPE GLOBAL LIMITED IPE Global House, B - 84, Defence Colony, New Delhi - 110 024, India www.ipeglobal.com In association with 1 The Context The ICRG project has commissioned three separate studies in the project states to explore specific critical issues that have a direct/indirect link to benefits accruing from MGNREGA. The purpose is to generate evidence through primary survey and contribute to improved targeting of benefits under MGNREGA. The topics for the studies were identified in discussion with the State Governments. The study in Bihar titled “Business Modelling for Livelihoods Value Chain of Beneficiaries under ICRG programme” seeks to develop at least two value chains for livelihood strengthening of beneficiaries of the ICRG programme. These beneficiaries are those linked to the climate resilient work planning that ICRG has completed and to be implemented with funding from MGNERGA. The current study will actively explore links with the JEEVIKA (Bihar Rural Livelihoods Programme) and has been undertaken following discussions with them. JEEVIKA is supporting the study through their networks in the field. The study in Chhattisgarh titled “Impact of MGNERGA assets on Livelihoods of Vulnerable Groups – Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG); Women Headed Households; Disabled; Landless and Forest Right Act Beneficiaries (FRA); in the ICRG districts” seeks to define the impact and reach of MGNREGA to the vulnerable groups.

  • Fluorosis and Socio-Economic Conditions of People In
    FLUOROSIS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF PEOPLE IN NUAPADA DISTRICT OF ODISHA, INDIA SUBHASHREE PRADHAN MAY 2013 A MASTER’S RESEARCH PAPER Submitted to the faculty of Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of International Development, Community and Environment And accepted on the recommendation of Barbara Goldoftas, Chief Instructor ABSTRACT FLUOROSIS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF PEOPLE IN NUAPADA DISTRICT OF ODISHA, INDIA SUBHASHREE PRADHAN The current study was conducted to figure out the relationship between the socio- economic conditions of respondents and fluorosis in nine fluorosis-identified villages of Nuapada district in Odisha. It was observed that 100 percent of the respondents were affected with various degree of skeletal fluorosis. Fluorosis has deteriorated the respondents’ health, thereby affecting their work productivity, income and quality of life. However, there are variations in the severity of fluorosis according to sex, age, weight, education and income and nutritional status of the respondents. It was observed that the number of fluorosis cases increased steeply with increase in age. The vulnerable age group of fluorosis was 41-50 years. Fluoride impact severity, however, negatively affected the body weight of the respondents. Similarly, in the lower income group and non-educated respondents, fluorosis was more vividly seen. It was interesting to note that educated and aware people were willing to pay for obtaining clean water. According to the respondents, fluorosis prevented them for performing strenuous physical activities such as farming and working as wage laborers. There is an urgency of provision of safe drinking water in the study area.

  • Pada in Odisha
    1 ! ! ! ! 2 ! ! Nfttbhf!gspn!uif!Fyfdvujwf!Ejsfdups! ! In the year 2019-20 we decided to focus on forest rights and its utilization. Having individual and community rights over the resources provides motivation and induces security. In this year we have facilitated 250 CR and CFR rights, and in the coming year we are working towards scaling the process up in 3000 villages. We have begun facilitating CFR management plans to enhance land use and promote livelihoods. This will help in conserving and maintaining the forests. The conservation of RET species, and watershed development initiatives are an indication. We have also renewed our focus on NTFP collection and trade, and seek to have community rights in this regard in all the tribal districts of Odisha. We initiated and created history with deregulation of Kendu leaves in Kalahandi district that has renewed interest and enhanced income of the villagers. On the sustainable livelihoods front we have demonstrated the power of agro-forestry in Rayagada, Kalahandi, Balangir and Nabarangpur districts. The tribal populations have realized the potential of their ancestral knowledge and are engaged in reviving their traditional organic methods. They have diversified their approach and produce and have started moving away from mono cropping and cash crops. Working with the Odisha Millets Mission, OTELP and the FADP has immensely helped RCDC fulfill its objectives at 3 promoting agricultural livelihoods and ensuring nutrition to the communities it serves. RCDC has since long been combating the fluoride menace in the fluoride affected district of Nuapada in Odisha. Advocacy in this regard has paid off and the State Government has introduced mega pipe water schemes in most of the affected villages.
