Rarely, Sir, has so much and communications, and so on. It is a vast of tall talk been matched by so little of problem, and I think that it is wrong to view performance, and if it were only a question this only from the point of view of the of bad performance, we would have perhaps Rehabilitation Ministry. If we are to develop excused the authorities responsible for it.

One is the bigger aspect of the the operations, and then many Ministries and development of an undeveloped area. As far States have to co-ordinate their activities. as that aspect is concerned, namely the deve- That is not at all being done. On the lopment of an undeveloped area, there contrary we find that this Dandakaranya cannot be two opinions that in a developing Development project authority is being economy when we are making the nation, steadily, if surreptitiously, transformed into such ventures should be undertaken, and we an appendage of the Rehabilitation Ministry, a want such areas to be developed. Then, Sir, kind of branch of the Rehabilitation Ministry there is another aspect, a somewhat narrower and that rules out the consideration that they aspect, and that is that we are trying to should bring about an all-sided development of rehabilitate the displaced persons from East the whole area. I take it therefore that they Pakistan whose resettlement in life are more concerned with the rehabilitation according to the Government has become of the displaced persons there. Sir, here I difficult within the State of West Bengal, but would like only to add before I pass on to the which is not so according to us. I shall come narrower aspect that nobody believed it when to that aspect later. Therefore, roughly there the Government said that they were going to are two aspects: one is the broad and.general develop these 80,000 square miles under that aspect, and the other is more in the focus, the project by spending Rs. 100 crores. It was all immediate aspect of the project. I would like moonshine, because we know that it is not a the House not to confuse the two issues. small job.

But people did take development of a vast area of 80,000 square seriously their proposal in respect of the miles, 30,000 square miles to begin with, or smaller aspect of the matter, that is to say the we look at it from the point of view of the project for the rehabilitation of the rehabilitation of the displaced persons in that displaced persons. area. It is also understandable that we view it from both the angles, namely that we rehabilitate these persons to develop this Now, Sir, as I said, Rs. 30 crores had been area, and also in the process of development sanctioned for a period of ten years, Rs. 10 of that particular area we rehabilitate the crores for a period of the first three years.

    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.

  • Remoteness and Chronic Poverty in a Forest Region of Southern Orissa: a Tale of Entitlement Failure and State’S Apathy
    Remoteness and Chronic Poverty in a forest region of Southern Orissa: A Tale of Entitlement Failure and State’s Apathy Amita Shah Saroj Kumar Nayak Bipin Das Working Paper 34 WORKINGPAPER -IIPA Chronic Poverty Indian Institute of Research Centre Public Administration CPRC Abstract The recent round of poverty estimates, placing Orissa as the poorest state in India, has pressed an alarm bell among planners, practitioners and also international donors. This, in turn, has triggered a sense of urgency for salvaging the situation of chronic poverty, where the central thrust is on expediting growth. Agricultural growth occupies a special significance in this approach since the sector, of late, has demonstrated direct and significant impact on poverty reduction across states, including some of the high-poverty states in the country. While the need to foster growth, particularly, agricultural growth can hardly be over emphasized, what appears to be missing in the emerging perspective on linkages between growth and poverty reduction is integration with one of the most critical segments, i.e. the forest based economy, in the state. The segment has special significance not only in terms of its contribution to the states, revenue but also in terms of supporting poors’ livelihood besides rendering environmental services that are often realized beyond the state boundaries. Generating a better understanding of dynamics of forest and development thus, is important for facilitating a shift in the policy perspective within the state. This paper seeks to examine the extent, nature and structural factors (social, physical and legal) leading to poverty in southern region of Orissa, which has a dubious distinction of having the highest incidence of poverty among rural regions in India.

  • Undoing the Historical Injustice? Drawing Implications of Forest Rights Act (2006) on Resource Governance
    Undoing the Historical Injustice? Drawing Implications of Forest Rights Act (2006) on Resource Governance Smriti Das ABSTRACT The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act was passed in December 2006 and notified in January 2008. After over two decades of debate on principles of participatory management and its execution in the form ‘joint management’, this ‘delayed justice’ has posed questions in the realm of forest resource governance. There are now concerns and apprehensions about the implementation of the Act and its implications for resource and the resource dependent communities. Some of the apprehensions/fallout in implementation may actualize on the resource sites considering the local political and administrative structures. Whether such fallout is characteristic of decision- making within ‘multi-stakeholder’ context is a question that would need thorough review of such decisions. This paper tries to assess the implications of the recent Act in light of the historical performance of the policies in managing forestland and protection of tribal rights, with special reference to Nabarangpur district of Orissa. Nabarangpur is predominantly a tribal inhabited district with highest encroachment over forestland among the forest divisions of Orissa. The stated causes for encroachment restrict the understanding of encroachment to incident(s) of physical infringement into the boundary of the state (land owned by the State Government), mostly by the tribals. However, there have been ample instances of ‘proxy’ encroachment that are unaddressed despite the existing institutional arrangements. The paper critiques the traditional understanding of encroachment, examines the institutional changes with regard to encroachment on forestland and draws implications of these changes on resource governance.

  • Poverty in Remote Rural Areas in India; a Review of Evidence and Issues’, Working Paper 21, CPRC–IIPA, New Delhi
    Patterns, processes of reproduction, and Policy Imperatives for Poverty in Remote Rural Areas: A Case Study Southern Orissa in India A paper prepared for the international workshop “Understanding and addressing spatial poverty traps: an international workshop” 29 March 2007, Spier Estate, Stellenbosch, South Africa. Hosted by the Chronic Poverty Research Centre and the Overseas Development Institute1. Amita Shah Gujarat Institute of Development Research 1. Introduction Given the vast geographical area, ecological-cultural diversity, and deep-rooted social stratification, spatial inequality is one of the important features of poverty scenario in India. Not only that there are significant inter-regional variations, but there exist a large number of spatial poverty traps characterised by the four major categories of regions: remote, low potential or marginal, less favoured, and weakly integrated. In fact, there is often a significant overlap among these categories of spatial poverty traps. The multiple and mutually reinforcing disadvantages or deprivation faced by most of the spatial poverty traps has lead to reproduction of poverty as manifested by the fact that incidence of poverty in these regions continue to remain significantly high in terms of absolute levels as well as comparative ranking. Since a large proportion of India’s poor live in rural areas, poor natural resource endowment or access thereof is among the most important driving forces that sustain and drive initial poverty into long duration and multi-dimensional poverty conditions. Notwithstanding the marginal improvements, poor people in these regions find it particularly more difficult to exit poverty owing unholy alliance between poor agronomic potential and limited scope for diversification within rural economies; weak infrastructure and remoteness; and social or political marginalisation.
