Dense foliage around Deulajhari hot spring contributes to the high total organic carbon content (TOC). In Received in revised form 2 January 2016 our experiment we took sediment samples from the two Deulajhari hot springs (S1 and S2) out of the cluster Accepted 4 January 2016 having temperature of 43 °C and 55 °C and pH of 7.83 and 7.14 respectively. Sediment samples were analysed Available online 7 January 2016 using 16S rRNA of V3‐V4 region by amplicon metagenome sequencing. Over 34 phyla were detected in cluster Keywords: S1 and 32 phyla in cluster S2 at the existing physiochemical parameters temperature 43 °C, pH 7.83, −1 Deulajhari electroconductivity 0.019 dSm , and total organic carbon (TOC) 3.80% for S1 and temperature 55 °C, pH 7.14, −1 16S rRNA electroconductivity 0.019 dSm , and total organic carbon (TOC) 0.97% for S2.

This sector is a nursery of entrepreneurship, often driven by individual creativity and innovation. This sector contributes 8 per cent of the country’s GDP, 45 per cent of the manufactured output and 43 percent of its exports. The MSMEs provide employment to about 60 million persons through 26 million enterprises. The labour capital ratio in MSMEs and the overall growth in the MSME sector is much higher than in the large industries. In the present world scenario, there is an urgency to give a boost to industrial activity for a faster growth of economy for which, there is a need for getting relevant information to instill the confidence among entrepreneurs to plan for an appropriate investment strategy either to set up new industry or to enlarge the existing activity in the State. MSMEDI, Cuttack has brought out the new edition of Odisha State Profile (MSME related information) in the year 2017-18 as per the guide lines issued by the office of the Development Commissioner (MSME), Ministry of MSME, Government of India, New Delhi by incorporating all the relevant information including opportunities to set up and develop industries in the state, latest information on infrastructure development, present status of industries, availability of natural resources and other raw materials, human resources, support and assistance available from technical and financial institutions, new initiative undertaken by MSMEDO, etc to provide adequate exposure both prospective and existing entrepreneurs in the state.

Physico-chemical study points to the presence of sulphur, NaCl and other salts. The water is alkaline in nature (ph=8.8) and the ph decreases with decrease in temperature. Further, the crystal clear water of the Atri - sulfur spring is believed to have medical values that have curative powers, it can cure several heath related issues. This could be due to microorganisms, Sulphur and salt present in the water. The dissolved salts in the spring water have been derived from the water- rock interaction; sulphur is produced due to reaction of meteoritic water with pyrites and pyrrhotites of Eastern Ghats rocks. This review describes the origin of sulfur of thermal springs in Odisha and their medicinal importance to make a clear view of the relation between tectonics and source reactions. Key Words: Hotspring, Sulphur, Curative power, Pyrite, Eastern Ghats I. INTRODUCTION: There are three hot sulfur water spring in Odisha namely Atri, Tarabalo and Tapttapani.The significance of the springs of Odisha are characterized by sulfurs and very popular because of its touristic nature and curative powers of the spring water.
