The cyclone caused very heavy rainfall over Odisha leading to floods, and strong gale wind leading to large scale damage to gopalpur port under construction. The damage had occurred to Breakwater, Groynes, Berths, Dredger, Barges, Survey Boats, Electrical Lines, Boundary Walls, Admin Building and Site offices etc. Heavy siltation was found in the channel and harbour basin and washed out rock from breakwater was scattered in the harbour area. Various sunken objects both ferrous and non-ferrous are found above and below seabed. The berm breakwater without the primary armour has flattened with a width of about 120 m. The top level which was about 5 m above water level has been lowered by 8 m to 10 m i.e, 3 m to 5 m below water level. The major restoration work is to build the berm breakwater from 900 m to 1730 m on top of the flattened portion.

  • 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.

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.

Accepted 12 November, 2010 The olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea ) is known for its spectacular mass nesting behavior. The Rushikulya river mouth has emerged as one of the major mass nesting site in the world. To study the status of hydrological characteristics viz. depth, air and water temperature, salinity, conductivity, pH, total suspended solid, turbidity, dissolve oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, nutrients (NO 2-N, NO 3- N, (NH 3+NH 4)-N, SiO 3 and PO 4-P), petroleum hydrocarbon and dissolved trace metals such as Pb, Cd and Hg are evaluated in mass nesting period of olive ridley turtles at Rushikulya mass nesting site. In order to evaluate the status level of the pollutants and ultimately to protect the precious marine environment, an intensive monitoring has been carried out near Rushikulya, Gopalpur, Chatrapur and Haripur Creek of mass nesting site. The basic scientific objective of the present study is to determine the concentration, migration pattern and dynamics of the pollutants in the estuary and coastal environment.

  • A Note from WIO on the Rengali Dam and Flood Management
    Special Note – II on ‘Odisha Floods 2011’ from Water Initiatives Odisha (WIO) 24th September, 2011 Different Designs, Same Management ‘Did we manage the Rengali dam the way we managed Hirakud?’ asks Water Initiatives Odisha, as it brings a special note on this issue in response to the latest spell of the flood disaster in northern Odisha Rivers. The latest spectre of floods over Brahmani and Baitarani has once again brought the Dam Operations and Management systems of the state into question. This time the focus goes to the Rengali dam. Before going further to the discussion, we would like to bring to your notice the water storage level that was maintained in the Rengali dam on select dates as against the recommended Rule Curve for that dam. Select Date Recommended Maximum Level at which the Reservoir Reservoir and Minimum was kept Limits (by Rule Curve) 1st July 109.72 M / 109.72 M 114.84 M 1st August 115.85 M/ 115.85 M 114.91 M 1st September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 122.36 M 7th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 122.87 M 14th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.54 M 20th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.66 M 21st September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.55 M 22nd September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.56 M 23rd September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.56 M 24th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 124.39 M As can be observed from the above, even as warnings of depression/low pressure were coming in (and in fact that has historically brought rain at this time of the year over Brahmani and Baitarani river basins), the Reservoir was kept consistently at a higher level.
