Nabakrushna Choudhury Centre for Development Studies, Orissa, Bhubaneswar –751013 2006 Making JFM Work Towards Forest Conservation in Orissa: Some Conceptual, Institutional and Participatory Issues R. M. Mallik Sponsored By Government of India, Planning Commission, New Delhi Nabakrushna Choudhury Centre For Development Studies, Orissa, Bhubaneswar –751013 2006 RESEARCH TEAM PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR Prof. R. M. Mallik RESEARCH SUPERVISOR Sri Chita Ranjan Das FIELD STAFF Sri Prafulla Kumar Sahoo Sri Arakhita Patra Sri Ashok Kumar Nayak COMPUTER ASSISTANCE Mrs. Sujata Manjari Pani Ms. Minati Dey Sri Prafulla Kumar Sahoo FOREWORD The New Forest Policy 1988, that recognized the symbiotic relationship (unlike the preceding forest policies) between the forest and the tribals in late 1980s persuaded the policy makers and planners to bring spectacular policy changes in forest management through the idea of Joint Forest Management (JFM) all over the country. In the light of such new policy initiatives, JFM was thought to be the right intervention for ensuring livelihood improvement of the forest dependant poor due to involvement of local communities through regeneration of forests and their rehabilitation, who are primarily the very poor stakeholders under the JFM regime. They are unrecognized and underprivileged due to their poverty, ignorance and impoverishment – thus, are increasingly vulnerable. These people in fact are principally focused on JFM concept, bringing into play the principle of equity and empowerment. This is how JFM distinctly distinguishes itself from other participatory management practices, and has now become the central focus of future forest development programme in the state of Orissa. However, the emerging JFM programme, a three way partnership between the Community, Forest Department and the NGO, was effected in Orissa in 1993 to protect, conserve and regenerate degraded forestland. In such a situation, a critical examination/ evaluation of its performance and the conceptual, institutional and participatory issues emerged there from needs careful consideration and systematic enquiry. In pursuance of his discussion with Dr. N. C. Saxena, Prof R. M. Mallik submitted a research proposal entitled “Making JFM Work Towards Forest Conservation in Orissa: Some Conceptual, Institutional and Participatory Issues”, to the Planning Commission, New Delhi in 2003, which was finally approved for funding in February 2005. It is a matter of great pleasure to note that Prof. Mallik completed the draft report within the prescribed time limit, despite a lot of problems and inconveniences caused to the research staff at the field level, besides his pressing unavoidable personal preoccupations. I believe and sincerely hope that the research findings and action-oriented policy options prescribed in the research report will be useful to the government in further formulating/revising some of the policy strategies not only for the socio-economic upliftment of forest dependent poor and tribals in particular, but also in initiating fresh strategies for an effective, scientific and people-centred management of the precious forest resource for ensuring inter-generational equity and sustainability. This work, I am sure, will inform policy reforms in this key area and I congratulate Professor Mallik for undertaking such a useful and painstaking study. Professor Sakti Padhi Director I/C ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Planning Commission, New Delhi for commissioning the Research Study and providing financial support. Dr. N. C. Saxena, Ex-Secretary, Planning Commission, New Delhi for mooting the idea of a critical evaluation of JFM for the State of Orissa, for appreciating the research proposal in the beginning, and also, for consenting to read the draft report in the end.

  • Odisha District Gazetteers Nabarangpur
    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.

  • Some Phytotherapeutic Claims by Tribals of Rayagada District, Orissa, India
    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 10: 189-197. 2006. Some Phytotherapeutic Claims by Tribals of Rayagada District, Orissa, India Chiranjibi Pattanaik*, Ch. Sudhakar Reddy, N. K. Dhal¹ and Rashmita Das² *Forestry and Ecology Division, National Remote Sensing Agency Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India ¹Natural Products Division, Regional Research Laboratory, CSIR, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India ²Department of Botany, Berhampur University, Berhampur, Orissa, India *Corresponding author Email: [email protected] Issued 11 August 2006 Abstract The present paper reports with 30 plant species belonging to 23 families, mostly used by the tribal people of Rayagada district, Orissa. The tribal population of the region primarily depends upon these plants for curing various diseases. They are enumerated with binomial, family, habit, local name, parts used and ethnomedicinal uses. Further studies on chemical and pharmacological actions are suggested to validate the claims. Key Words: Phytotherapeutic claim, Ethnomedicine, Tribes, Herbal healer, Orissa. Introduction Use of plant based drugs and chemicals for curing various ailments and personal adornment is as old as human civilization. In India, the sacred Vedas dating back between 3500 B.C and 800 B.C give many references of medicinal plants. One of the remotest works in traditional herbal medicine is “Virikshayurveda”, compiled even before the beginning of Christian era and formed the basis of medicinal studies in ancient India. “Rig Veda”, one of the oldest Indian literatures written around 2000 B.C. mentions the use of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum Prel.), Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rose.), Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) etc. not only in religious ceremonies but also in medical preparation (Bentley and Trimen, 1980). Plants and plant-based medicaments are the basis of many of the modern pharmaceuticals we used today for our various ailments (Abraham, 1981; Atal & Kapur, 1982).

D. Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com South Orissa comprises of the undivided districts of Ganjam, Phulbani and Koraput (presently South Orissa divided into eight districts viz., Ganjam, Gajapati, Boudh, Kandhamal, Rayagada, Malkangiri, Nawrangapur and Koraput) was a part of the ancient kingdo m of Kalinga, which finds mention in the Mahabharat, a great epic of India. The district of Ganjam originally formed a part of ancient kingdom of Kalinga which was supposed to have been found in the 19 th century B.C. and which extended from the Bengal frontiers of Orissa to the river Godavari, a distance of about 500 miles. The territory comprising a part of the ancient Atavika land referred to in the special rock inscriptions of Ashoka. Ashoka occupied Kalinga in 261 B.C. but the land of the Atavikas, whic h could not be conquered, remained outside his empire. The formation of the linguistic Province of Orissa in 1936 may be regarded as one of the landmarks in the history of the evolution of the Indian Union. The demand for linguistic States, which became s o conspicuous in India after independence, had its genesis in the movement of the Oriya - speaking people for a separate Province in the basis of language during the later half of the British rule.

Prior as well as posterior to the formation of ministries along the principles of Government of India Act, 1935, the leaders of the Utkal Pradesh Congress Committee and the Utkal Pradeshik Shamyavadi Karmi Sangathan had promised the poor peasantry to redress different peasant issues provided they would form government.
