6.2. Rural Development
Balasore is a densely populated district. A`s per 2001 census, population density in
Balasore district is 532 persons/sq. km, which is almost double that of state figure (236
persons/sq.km). Further, the percentage of rural population to total population is 89.11%
as against 85.01% in Orissa state. Because of huge rural population and high population
density, there is requirement of good number of civic amenities and infrastructure in rural
areas of the district.
In addition, 73.72% of the total families are Below Poverty Line (BPL) (1997). These BPL
families requires intervention in the shape of livelihood, housing, basic amenities etc.
Development of the district can’t be possible unless there is an improvement in the
standard of living of this rural population, mostly people below poverty line.
In this sector priority is on livelihood security for rural poor either through creation of wage
employment opportunities or self employment and creation of infrastructures in deficient
areas. These infrastructures not only include basic amenities but also infrastructures
required for development of productive sectors, disaster management etc.

Gopabandhu Gramin Yojana (GGY): Government of Orissa launched this new programme
called "The Gopabandhu Gramin Yojana (GGY)" on October 9, 2006 with a view to providing
additional developmental assistance to the targeted 11 (Eleven) districts which are not
covered under the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF). The scheme has been
implemented from the year 2006-07 and will continue to be implemented during the 11th

Balasore, Bargarh, Bhadrak, Cuttack, Jajpur, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Khurda,
Nayagarh and Puri.
The principal objective of the scheme is to provide additional development funds to the
targeted districts to develop infrastructure in every revenue village. Some of the specific
projects which could be taken under the Yojana would be in the nature of construction of
concrete roads within the village, construction of black top/concrete roads to connect a
village with a nearest PMGSY or ODR road, installation of street lights within the village, for
which the maintenance is to be borne by the concerned Gram Panchayat (GP), provision of
drinking water supply and creation of irrigation sources.

assistance to the extent of Rs. 10 crores per annum for a period of 6 years from 2006-07 to
