People at times willingly suffer the hardship and are forced to bear such issues. It needs trans-political, sociological and psychological perspectives to know that people also can endure sufferings in the larger interest of the nation even in normal times not just in war times. In Odisha, Hon'ble Chief Minister has always taken a stand on zero tolerance towards systemic corruption. Hence, demonetization was supported because of its proclaimed objectives. Steps were taken on a constant basis to inform the Central Government and the Hon'ble Prime Minister himself regarding the hardships suffered by people at large. Our Chief Minister was more concerned for facilitating the people in the rural areas, enabling the co-operatives and lessening the burden of common man. However, on completion of one year we have realized that the ill conceived demonetization has shattered the economy, increased joblessness and broken the backbone of the poor people. The utopian objectives of eliminating black money, stopping currency flow for terror funding and facilitating a cashless economy has gone with the wind. What pains me is I do not see an iota of compassion by the Central Government for the pains caused to the common man because any decision should be evaluated by its effectiveness not by its intention. The Government is not the nation. Government works for the nation. Hon'ble Supreme Court heard the Polavaram issue and imposed a fine of Rs.20, 000 on the Central Government. It has castigated the Central Government for its lethargic approach. The Hon'ble Court opined "we find no reply has been filed for more than a year. There is absolutely no justification for this lethargy on part of Union of India particularly in a matter between two states. Rightly said, Odisha as a State has been a victim of central bias not only in case of Polavaram but also in case of our lifeline the Mahanadi as well. Violating all federal norms the Chhattisgarh Government is going ahead with construction of barrages on the river Mahanadi. Odisha Government has urged the Centre to expedite the process of formation of a tribunal to resolve the inter-state dispute on water sharing. In spite of chronic Central negligence towards Odisha our GDP has been growing at a remarkable faster rate and at present higher than the national GDP rate. Odisha's economy has increased by about 5 times in real terms in the last 17 years. Author, activist and Director of Centre for Equity Studies, Harsh Mander said "India has third largest population of dollar billionaires in the world also every third mal-nourished child. Still two million people in the country die due to preventable causes." However, poverty in Odisha has declined by 24.06 percentage points from 57.02 per cent in 2004-05 to 32.06 per cent in 2011 as per Tendulkar Committee methodology which is the highest reduction amongst the major states in India. The focus issue of IITF this year is "Start up India". Start up Policy 2016 has been introduced by Government of Odisha to place our state amongst the top three Start up hubs in India by 2020 through strategic partnership, conducive eco-system and investment and policy interventions. To make Odisha one of the most preferred investment destinations globally, the Government has diversified its industrial base with value added sectors and an industrial Land Bank of one lakh acres has been created. Last but not the least, all of us realize that the farmers of our country face huge cultivating loss. The Minimum Support Price is below the cost of production. The people of Odisha would like to remind Hon'ble Prime Minister regarding the promise he had made before he assumed the office. The promise of hiking the MSP by one and a half time is yet to be fulfilled. It is surprising that while writing off corporate loans it is treated as a measure for aiding economic growth, but, in case of farmers it is felt as a drain on national exchequer. However we in Odisha under the leadership of our dynamic Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik have been able to not only double the income of our farmers but also enhance the agricultural productivity like never before. As a word of caution I am reminded of the statement made by former President Shri Pranab Mukherjee "the multiplicity in culture, faith and language is what makes India special. We derive our strength from tolerance. We may argue, we may agree or we may not agree but we cannot deny the essential prevalence of multiplicity of opinion. Otherwise, the fundamental character of our thought process will wither away." Editor, Odisha Review Odisha Review ISSN 0970-8669 IN THIS NEW MILLENNIUM, ODISHA’S GROWTH IS A STORY OF RESURGENCE AND RESILIENCE Odisha, a vibrant State, the land of myriad wonders, beauty, Culture and Heritage, has journeyed in the present millennium to make its presence felt. The Konark wheel is a metaphor for our spirit, transformative energy and relentless quest for the welfare of our people. Odisha takes pride in its diversity, where aircraft engines and traditional handicrafts are made side by side. Odisha’s march towards progress is an inclusive one. The motto stands for not just winning but winning together. The State Government, under the visionary leadership of our present Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik, who has been honoured with the “Best Administrator “ Award, has been following the development model of inclusive growth. The guiding principles of 3 Ts Team, Transparency and Technology is prioritised to bring about transformation in the lives of the people of Odisha. After receiving accolades and laurels globally for successful hosting of the Asian Athletics Championships -2017 within a record short time duration of 90 days, at the Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar. Odisha has been internationally recognised and has set global standards for hosting of similar sports events in future. Bhubaneswar Smart city has emerged as the Sports capital of India. Odisha, the land of Lord Jagannath is a gifted land endowed with abundant natural resources, flora and fauna, exquisite temples and historic monuments, mighty waterfalls, forest-clad blue hills with rich wild life, graceful and stunning Odissi dance, the masterpiece of Odishan sculpture, tradition of painting, infinite varieties of Odishan handicrafts, artists villages at Pipili and Raghurajpur bring alive old tradition into a colourful and flamboyantly rich fusion. Odisha was once considered as the commercial hub of the whole south-east Asia. Odia Sadhabas, in ancient age not only sailed to Java, Sumatra, Bali, Borneo and other countries for maritime trade, but also left there the vestiges of the great Odishan culture.

  • Odisha District Gazetteers Nabarangpur
    ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR DR. TARADATT, IAS CHIEF EDITOR, GAZETTEERS & DIRECTOR GENERAL, TRAINING COORDINATION GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ii iii PREFACE The Gazetteer is an authoritative document that describes a District in all its hues–the economy, society, political and administrative setup, its history, geography, climate and natural phenomena, biodiversity and natural resource endowments. It highlights key developments over time in all such facets, whilst serving as a placeholder for the timelessness of its unique culture and ethos. It permits viewing a District beyond the prismatic image of a geographical or administrative unit, since the Gazetteer holistically captures its socio-cultural diversity, traditions, and practices, the creative contributions and industriousness of its people and luminaries, and builds on the economic, commercial and social interplay with the rest of the State and the country at large. The document which is a centrepiece of the District, is developed and brought out by the State administration with the cooperation and contributions of all concerned. Its purpose is to generate awareness, public consciousness, spirit of cooperation, pride in contribution to the development of a District, and to serve multifarious interests and address concerns of the people of a District and others in any way concerned. Historically, the ―Imperial Gazetteers‖ were prepared by Colonial administrators for the six Districts of the then Orissa, namely, Angul, Balasore, Cuttack, Koraput, Puri, and Sambalpur. After Independence, the Scheme for compilation of District Gazetteers devolved from the Central Sector to the State Sector in 1957.

  • Coastal Tourism in Odisha and Its Impact on Beach Degradation
    Article can be accessed online at http://www.publishingindia.com COASTAL TOURISM IN ODISHA AND ITS IMPACT ON BEACH DEGRADATION Soumendra Nath Biswas* Keywords: Abstract: Coastal resources throughout the Odisha Coast are the famous attraction for the tourists. At the same time mass tourism in this region is a major contributor to sewage and solid waste pollution, deforestation, coastal erosion and sedimentation from construction activities. Beach degradation from tourism depends on the number of tourists inflow, the rate of growth of the tourism industry, improper planning and lack of control. Tourism-related physical changes are also widespread for expanding tourism infrastructure projects. The present study is an effort to examine the role of Coastal tourism in Odisha, especially in Puri, Konark, Gopalpur and Chandipur which affect the socio-economic life of the local communities and environmental degradation of the quality of beaches. In the study area, development was based on a rapid growth of tourist demand and chaotic development of tourist facilities. Erosion is very common in Odisha coast. Solutions like sand re-nourishment have not stopped the erosion process. The rising number of tourists exerts a strong pressure on these beaches. Key objective of this paper is to find out how to maintain balance between positive and negative impacts of beach tourism to get optimum benefits and maintain sustainability by protecting it from the environmental catastrophe, manmade hazards followed by beach degradation. Keywords: Coastal Tourism, Recreation, Beach-Dune System, Ecotourism, Snorkeling, Environmental Degradation, Catastrophe, Sustainability, Erosion the successful development and well being of other activities INTRODUCTION and processes” (Butler, 1993, p.
