To accelerate the pace of growth, infrastructure development projects have been taken up and expected to come up in a large scale in different sectors in coming years. But, instituting many of these mega projects require land and to meet the land requirement of these projects, displacement of people seems an unavoidable prerequisite. Displacement remains a reality in the current development scenario and more such events can be expected in coming days with the rising aspiration for higher economic growth. Since Independence, many of such infrastructure development initiatives have been taken up at the national level, like development of industrial corridors, hydro-power projects, irrigation projects etc. The socio-economic development of tribals and the rate of displacement in different projects shows that the tribals have been facing a disproportionate share of displacement in the overall process. In most of these mega project, tribals remain the major sufferer of development induced displacement whereas their share in the benefit of the project remain neglected. Different studies highlight how tribal families suffer due to such development projects because of poor implementation of safeguard policies to rehabilitate and resettle them. Their socio-cultural life and economic environment are very often neglected in the process. Displacement of tribals is not only their physically displacement from their homeland, but displacement from their environment, social belongingness, economic practices & cultural life which are immeasurable and difficult to compensate. Physical relocation of the displaced tribals normally considered primary, rather than restoration of their livelihoods and living conditions. But appropriate and feasible R & R policy could have minimized the plight of the people and could have been helpful to improve their condition in the post-displacement situation. Non- adoption of required measures for rehabilitation and resettlement made the life of the oustees measurable. The critical requisites that are important for the survival of the displaced tribals, i.e., employment, Land for production and access to other resources were not focused appropriately in the post-displacement periods. Thus, even decades after their displacement, they are not able to come out of the distress situation. The current study is innovative and exclusive in many respects to previous studies. The study examines the condition of the tribals, after decades of displacement, in two different project typologies, i.e., displacement caused due to hydro-power projects and displacement for the establishment of large scale industrial units. The study compares the socio-economic status of displaced tribal families with the non-displaced tribals, belonging to same village / location, ACER 2 3 Study on Development Projects, Displaced Tribals & Their Living Conditions before evacuation. The overall objective of the study is to understand the current living condition of the displaced (after years of resettlement) and affected tribals, contributions made by the project for which they were displaced were also taken in to account. So, the study is an attempt to understand the overall socio-economic growth of the tribals, in two different set- ups (displaced and non-displaced) and to examine how far the project, for which these tribals were displaced or affected, has contributed in their development. The study finds that it is not only displaced but condition of non-displaced families is also more or less same. Acquisition of productive land can be attributed as one of the reasons but it is not the prime reason. Had displacement been the sole factor of impoverishment, similar situation would not have prevailed in the non-displaced tribal villages. In industrial projects, resettled oustees observed comparatively in a better living condition in comparison to hydro-power or irrigation projects. One of the reasons has been development of market mechanisms around the industrial units and availability of different employment opportunities which are relatively remunerative than the agricultural labour. So, regional development scenario play an important role in the overall development of the displaced tribals rather than only displacement and related rehabilitation. It is inferred that had there been better economic growth in the region, the condition of the project oustees would have different from the present condition. I expect that this report will be of use for policy makers and implementing entities at the national and state level. The findings of this study may act points of reference for taking appropriate policy decisions and strengthening implementation mechanisms that can restore the livelihoods of the people, in cases of emergence of requirement for displacement. I take this opportunity to recommend to conduct similar studies in different parts of the country to understand the benefits that have accessed by the displaced tribals for which they were displaced and expected conditions if they would not have displaced from their homeland. This will help in devising appropriate policy for socio-cultural and economic rehabilitation of tribal. Prof. (Dr.) A. B.

    Middle Kolab Multipurpose Project Detailed Project Report CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL FEATURES 2.1 GENERAL There are few places on earth that are special and Odisha is one of them. It is a fascinating land filled with exquisite temples, monuments and possessing beaches, wild life, sanctuaries and natural landscape of enchanting beauty. The project area falls in Koraput and Malkangiri district of Odisha having its geographical area as 5294.5 Sq. Km. The district is bounded by Rayagada and Srikaklam district on its East side, Bastar district on the west, Malkangiri district on South-west side, Nabarangpur district on north and Vishakhapatnam on south. Malkangiri and Koraput districts are situated at 18°35’ Latitude and 82°72’ Longitude at an average elevation of 170 and 870 m respectively from mean sea level. The district’s demographic profile makes it clear that it is a predominantly tribal and backward district with 56% tribal and 78% of the rural families below poverty line (BPL). The region is characterised by high temperature and humidity in most parts of the year and medium to high annual rainfall. There is a considerable extent of natural vegetation in this region. The hydrographical features also reflect these effects. The chapter describes the general topographical and physical features of the Kolab basin and the project command area. 2.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY Odisha State lies within latitude 17° 48 to 23° 34 and longitude 81° 24 to 87°29 and is bounded on the north by Jharkhand, on the west by Chhattisgarh, on the south by Andhra Pradesh and on the north-east by West Bengal.

  • Odisha District Gazetteers Koraput
    ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS KORAPUT GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS KORAPUT 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.
