It invariably brings about a gradual transformation of the society in all spheres enriching the lives of the individuals. It is in this context that every nation in the world now lays much stress on education, specially on Primary education in as much as primary education is the very foundation of the educational system on which the edifice of the higher education rests. Now with the development of modern civilisation, a worldwide perception has been in evidence in which education for all is gradually gaining ground. In fact, Article 26(1) of the universal declaration of Human Rights, endows everybody in the world with the right to education.

  • Poverty and Economic Change in Kalahandi, Orissa: the Unfinished Agenda and New Challenges Sunil Kumar Mishra * Abstract
    Poverty and Economic Change in Kalahandi, Orissa: The Unfinished Agenda and New Challenges Sunil Kumar Mishra * Abstract Poverty rips the very social fabric of a society. Its victims are apparently divested of some universally accepted human quality of life. This paper analyses the incidence of poverty in the backward district of Kalahandi, Orissa. It focuses on the economic structure and socio-economic conditions of the people to identify the probable reasons for chronic poverty in the district. The paper argues that to reap the benefits of large deposits of raw material and human resources, development of the non-agricultural sector through proper planning is a prerequisite. Collectivity among the members of the co-operative societies and other decentralized institutions would help in harnessing the benefits. The possibilities of such collective actions for rural development are explored. Introduction Poverty in Kalahandi1 is paradoxical in nature. The district is rich in natural resources like forests and minerals, and has a large labour force. The landholding size is larger than the average size of landholdings in Punjab; it receives more rain than Punjab, and the cropped area in the district is the highest in Orissa (Mahapatra et al. 2001). Yet, people here are trapped in a vicious circle of poverty. Kalahandi is well known for its backwardness, hunger, starvation deaths and all other social maladies. The district came into prominence in the national and international developmental discourse in the 1980s when the people of the lower strata faced serious economic and social deprivation and were driven to eat inedible roots and grasses. Kalahandi has a high concentration of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) populations.
