    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.

  • The Story of the Cat Form of the Lord Marjara Kesari at Nrusinghnath
    Nrusinghanath Temple - BARGARH- The Story of the Cat Form of the Lord Marjara Kesari at Nrusinghnath http://www.gopaljiu.org/phocadownload/bindu201.pdf In the Bargarh district of extreme western Orissa is the ancient temple of Lord Nrusinghnath, also known as Bidala Nrusingha, Marjara Kesari, and Marjara Nrusingha. (In Oriya language, biòäla and märjära mean “cat”, and kesari means “lion”. Also, Orissans pronounce “narsimha” with a distinct “u” sound, hence the different spelling.) Situated about 300 kilometers from the famous temple of Lord Jagannath in Puri, the Nrusinghnath temple is on top of the famous Gandhamadan Hill, where ancient rishis are said to have come to meditate. Some literatures say that Gigantic Gandhamadan Hill was originally in the Himalayas, but a piece of it fell down in this place when Hanuman was carrying it to Lanka with the herbs required to heal Lakshman. Gandhamadan Hill is also said to be one of the places where the Pandavas visited during their exile. The local tradition about this deity was compiled in the middle of the 18th century by the poet Yuga Das Kondh in his Nrsimha-carita. It is said that in Tretä-yuga there was a rishi named Udanga who was performing austerities on the bank of the Godavari River. He had an attractive young daughter named Malati. One day, Ravan happened by that place and saw the beauty of the young girl. Ravan raped her and threw her into the Godavari River. The Godavari took compassion on her and brought her to the shore. When Malati came to her senses, she began searching for her father and crying.

  • Odisha Tourism
    ODISHA TOURISM A Journey in Enticing Odisha India is a country simply brimming with amazing places to discover, but amongst the most incredible destinations is Odisha in the country’s east near the Bay of Bengal. For adventurous tourists, Odisha – known as Orissa until 2011 – offers an enticing blend of activities including wildlife safaris, stunning hikes, and beautiful historical temples. Odisha, located to the south of the West Bengali province, has a long and intriguing history as well as a rich and vibrant modern culture. It is mentioned in history books that are well over two thousand years old, meaning it is a place with a long and fascinating back story, yet today is a vibrant and exciting destination that is developing rapidly. Each year, Odisha tourism becomes more popular as more and more visitors arrive to soak in the incredible sights of the region, from the stunning countryside landscapes to the bustling cities. Today, there are many incredible sights where visitors can learn about Odisha’s fascinating history. Some of the very oldest sights in the region include the rock paintings of Gudahandi, which are thought to be more than 20,000 years old. To walk within these caves is to truly walk in the footsteps of our most distant ancestors. This is because the site is evidence of some of the oldest origins of mankind, and to visit them as tourists to Odisha is to truly get a feel for the thousands of years of history that cloak the region. Other incredible historic sites are somewhat more recent but no less impressive – such as the stunning Konark Sun Temple, which is famous worldwide for its stunning architecture.

  • A Case Study on “Beach-Tourism Potential of Odisha
    Journal of Kashmir for Tourism and Catering Technology Vol. 1, No. 2, December 2014 ISSN 2348 1986 A Case Study On “Beach-Tourism Potential Of Odisha Debasis Sahoo Assistant Professor, (SOTTHM) Central University of Himachal Pradesh Dharamshala, HP-176215 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Beaches have always been the key to the development since time ages and its varied potential has always given birth to various industries whether at its vicinity or at a distant place. The tourism industry is no way different and has utilised this potential many folds in substantial ways across the globe. Beach tourism tends to generate and cater to the tourist traffic that looks for avenues which will give a completely new experience to the tourists (SIT-Special Interest Tourism). Perpetually washed by the blue waters of the Bay of Bengal, Odisha lies on the eastern coast of India & endowed with exquisite & relatively virgin unexplored beaches each having a unique feature of its own. Identifying the major sea beaches across the state & analysing the statistical data in order to find out the potential of beach tourism in Odisha was the primary objective of the research. As the majority of the tourist (75%) travel for the purpose of business or holidaying & the higher duration of stay during the lean season by the foreigners clearly indicates the state’s Beach tourism potential. Hence the tourist infrastructure has to be revamped in the identified beach destinations to witness a higher foreign as well as domestic tourist inflow in the coming years. Finally the implication of the six 'S' in Odisha tourism policy that has been implemented successfully by Kerala would certainly rejuvenate the potential of Beach Tourism in Odisha.

Even though there is high demand for internet access and allied resources, there are certain user categories like traditional resources and demand for the physical space in the library. In such conditions, libraries may reconsider their current spaces and future renovations to reflect these usage trends to meet the changing requirements of the user community.

  • An Analysis of Development of Bhubaneswar As a Smart City
    © 2019 IJRAR March 2019, Volume 6, Issue 1 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) Smart City and Tourism: An Analysis of Development of Bhubaneswar as a Smart City Dr. Shwetasaibal Samanta Sahoo 1 Mr. Mukunda B G 2 Mr. Debasish Kanungo 3 1, 3 Assistant Professor, Department of Business Administration, Ravenshaw University, College Square, Cuttack, Odisha, India 2 Assistant Professor, Department of Tourism Studies, Indian Academy Degree College - Autonomous, Hennur Cross, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Abstract The rapid development of information technology has created numerous opportunities for the tourism sector. Smart tourism is one of the latest trends in tourism based on smart technologies. Smart tourism requires bringing together the various stakeholders in the tourism industry through a common platform of technology. Over the past decade, the advent of new technology has brought about the emergence of smart cities aiming to provide their stakeholders with technology-based solutions that are effective and efficient. Insofar as the objective of smart cities is to improve outcomes that are connected to people, systems and processes of businesses, government and other public- and private-sector entities, its main goal is to improve the quality of life of all residents. Accordingly, smart tourism has emerged over the past few years as a subset of the smart city concept, aiming to provide tourists with solutions that address specific travel related needs. Bhubaneswar is an emerging tourism destination that has implemented smart city platform to engage various stakeholders. The objective of this study is to identify the smart tourism practices of smart city Bhubaneswar that could enhance tourism experience through offering products/services that are more personalised to meet each of visitor’s unique needs and preferences.
