Overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cuttack</strong>:<br />
<strong>Cuttack</strong> district is a narrow strip <strong>of</strong> land spreading from east to west. Topographically, <strong>Cuttack</strong> has two prominent<br />
divisions i.e hilly terrain on the west and Mahanadi delta 0plain on the east. The highly fertile and densely populated land<br />
is criss-crossed by hundreds <strong>of</strong> rivers and rivulets. These water bodies function both as tributaries and as distributaries <strong>of</strong><br />
the Mahanadi river system. Large portion <strong>of</strong> the land mass is low lying and gets submerged during flood. People <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Cuttack</strong> largely depend upon agriculture as the primary means <strong>of</strong> livelihood. The vast network <strong>of</strong> irrigation canals<br />
established by the Britishers after the great famine <strong>of</strong> 1866 is the backbone <strong>of</strong> agriculture. <strong>Cuttack</strong> city is still the<br />
commercial capital <strong>of</strong> Orissa with the Malgodown controlling the trade throughout the state.<br />
<strong>Cuttack</strong> district is highly prone to natural disasters like flood and cyclone due to its geographical location. An<br />
unprecedented super cyclone affected this district during 1999 and flood in major rivers in the year 1972,<br />
1973,1975,1978,1980, 1982, 1984, 1991, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2008 causing heavy loss to lives and<br />
property.<br />
