Foreword 

Every district needs a vision which captures people’s aspirations and motivates all segments of 

the society to put their united effort to move in the desired direction. It is an essential step to bring 

in consensus on broad development strategies among all the players and sectors. It helps to 

identify potential risks and their possible solutions in order to mobilise efforts in a focussed 

manner. To meet the overall development objectives, the vision required to be adopted and 

accordingly operated at different levels. 

In order to address the district issues in a sustained manner, the Planning and Coordination 

Department, Government of Odisha along with the District Administration, Sundargarh took the 

initiative to formulate the Comprihensive district Annual plan for 2012-13. The Annual plan is to 

be in line with the development aspiration of the people of the district and contributing in 

realisation of the vision. This initiative of the government is supported by CTRAN Consulting in 

facilitating the planning process with the involvement of District Administration and coordination 

by the District Planning and Monitoring Unit [DPMU]. In the process of facilitation of planning 

process, utmost care was taken to involve different stakeholders from GP to ZP level and all line 

departments of Government. The manual for Decentralised Planning, prescribed by the Planning 

Commission, Government of India was adhered to. 

The district vision was again revisited and five year perspective and monitorable targets were 

framed in line with the district vision. In the process of planning facilitation, consultation 

meetings were organised with various stakeholders from time to time at the district, block and GP 

level to capture the key requirements of the area and people. The identified development 

requirements were prioritised by GP and PS to match the needs and resources and phasing of the 

plans. All the GP plans, framed and approved in the Gram Sabha were consolidated at the block 

level and further at the district level to finalise the plan taking along with the departmental plans. 

Different new schemes, in relevant areas of development were thought of to implement in the 

plan period to achieve the sector growth. Key areas of convergence were identified and also 

planned. Apart from that gender sub-plan and SC and ST sub-plans were also prepared based on 

the available resources.

Section I: 

Chapter I: District Background and Profile 

1.1 Introduction: 

The district of Sundargarh is endowed with rich natural resources including minerals, forests, 

fertile soils, surface and ground water resources with tourist potential. However, the district has 

remained in th focus for high incedence of poverty and poor human development indicators. This 

prompted the Government of Orissa to pay special attention to the district development process 

through decentralised planning and initiating measures whereby local needs can be met. As a part 

of the overall National and State perspective, the Government of Odisha has started decentralised 

planning process in the district to capture people’s aspirations and their priority needs and making 

it a part of the overall district development process. It is realised that people’s needs can 

effectively capture through decentralised planning involving all the stakeholders at different 

plannin unit level. It would help to address effectively the people’s concerns and it can accelerate 

the development process. Over and above, strengthen grassroots planning and implementation 

would contribute to the overall development of the district. 

1.2 Geographic Location: 

The district is surrounded by the State of Jharkhand in the north and Chhattisgarh on the North 

West. The other boundaries of the district are bounded by Jharsuguda, Sambalpur and Deogarh 

districts on the South and Keonjhar & Angul district on the east. The district is located between 

21 0 35 ’ N and 22 0 32 ’ N latitudes and 83 0 32 ’ E and 85 0 22 ’ E longitudes. The total geographical 

spread of the district is 9712 Sq. Km which is 6.23% of the total geographical area of the State 

and the second largest district in the state in terms of its geography. The total cultivable land of 

the district is 3.36 lakh hectares and the area used for non agriculture activity is 0.5 lakh hectares. 

The barren and pasture land of the district is 0.7 and 0.16 lakh hectares respectively. 

Geographically the district is not a compact unit and consists of widely dissimilar tracts of 

expansive and fairly open country dotted with tree-clad isolated peaks, vast inaccessible forests, 

extensive river valleys and mountainous terrain. It is an undulating tableland of different 

elevations broken up by rugged hill ranges and cut-off by torrential hill streams and the rivers. 

Because of this undulating, hilly and sloping nature of landscape, the area is subject to rapid 

runoff leading to soil erosion. 

Geographically, the district is not a compact unit and consists of widely, dissimilar tracts of 

expansive and fairly open country, dotted with isolated peaks, inaccessible forests, river valley 

and mountainous terrain. Broadly, it is an undulating table-land of different elevations broken up 

by rugged hill ranges and cut off by torrential hill streams and the river lb and Brahmani. The 

general slope of the district is from north to south. There is an open well-cultivated plain country 

along the valley of the lb river particularly in the south. The rest of the Sadar sub-division 

consists of undulating table-land about 700 ft. in average height, dotted here and there with hills 

and peaks rising to about 2000ft., in the western most tracts at Hemgir P.S. in the north there is a 



gradual rise to the table-land of Chhotanagpur. The portion occupied by Bonai sub-division to the 

south-east has rugged forest and hills intersected by gorges and passes and having a narrow valley 

of the Brahmani River and its tributaries. For a short spell of time during the rainy season the 

rapid current of the hill-streams cut off communication. 

The east and west of the Brahmani valley is filled with high range of mountains, Chheliatoka 

[3331 ft.] and Bichakani [2964 ft.] in the east. The last hill has acquired importance as it contains 

million of tonnes of iron-ore for use in Rourkela steel plant. The territory of Sundargah and 

Panposh sub-divisions comprise the ex-states of Ganagpur which is about 700 ft. above the sea 

level. Bonai sub-division comprising ex-State of Bonai is about 800 ft. above the sea level. The 

forest of the district is of northern tropical dry deciduous type, mainly containing Sal, Assan and 

Kurum. The eastern half of Bonai and Rajagangapur contain better quality of vegetation. The 

forest area is mostly studded with rich mineral deposits, like iron ore, manganese, limestone, lead; 

also forest products like bamboo, timber and kendu leaf which are export-oriented. The district 

was a very inaccessible tract having no proper communication. The tribal people living in the area 

used to subsist for the most part of shifting cultivation which resulted in denudation of forest The 

forest occupy an area of 3534.92 sq.kms which includes 2664.64 sq.kms under reserved forest 

and 612.07 sq.kms under protected forest. 

The forests are of northern tropical dry deciduous type. Sal is the dominant species among all 

other species. The eastern half of Bonai contains better quality of vegetation. The principal forest 

produce are timber, kendu-leaf and bamboo besides minor product like Sabai grass, Lac, Tassar, 

Myrabolan, Mahua, Kusuma seed, resin, tamarind, gum and sal seed. The export of forest 

produce is mainly done through road and railway. The forest produce alone provided revenue of 

Rs 161.55 lakh to the State Government during the year 1980-81. Consequent upon the State 

Government policy to increase the revenue from the kendu-leaf through Government trade, Orissa 

Forest Corporation, a State Government undertaking operates a trade in kendu-leaf and revenue 

of Rs 110.42 lakh was received during the year 1980-81. Simultaneously emphasis has been laid 

down on afforestation through different programmes like D.R.D.A. and N.R.E.P sponsored by the 

government in the recent past. 

1.3 Administrative set-up: 

Administratively, the district is divided into three Sub-Divisions namely Sundargarh, Panposh 

and Bonai covering 12 Tehasils and 17 Community Development [CD] Blocks. In the Urban 

Local Bodies [ULBs], the district is having four Municipalities namely Sundargarh, Rajgangpur, 

Biramitrapur and Rourkela. The municipality area of Rajgangpur is well known for Konark 

Cement whereas Rourkeal is known for the steel plan [Steel Authority of India Ltd.]. The district 

is having a total of 262 Gram Panchayats and 1744 villages i.e. on an average each block is 

having 15-16 numbers of GPs and 102-103 numbers of villages.

According to the 2001 census the total population of the district was 18, 30,673 which constitutes 

4.97% of the total population of the State. The population spread is across 1744 villages and 4 

urban areas. The ST and SC population of the district is 9, 18,903 [50.21%] and 1, 57,745 

[8.62%] respectively. Important tribes in this district are Munda, Kharia, Kisan, Bhuyan, Oram 

and Gond. The rural and urban population of this district is 12, 01,479 and 6, 29,194 (2001) 

respectively. The ratio of population of this district between rural and urban areas is 2:1. Urban 

settlements are fast increasing in this district and this district has a high percentage [34.4%] of 

people living in urban areas against a state average of 14.97%. The complete demographic profile 

including the scenario of the rural and urban population is given in the following tables.

According to census 2011, percentage of district population to state population has decreased 

from 4.97% to 4.96%. While in terms of geographical area, the district is ranked 2 nd at the state 

level with the geographical area of 9712 sq km [6.24% of the state geography 1 ], the district is 

ranked 6 th at the state level in population parameter retaining its position of 2001. The decadal 

growth rate of district population marked declining during 2011 [-2.68] in comparison to 2001 

status. From 1991 to 2001, the decadal population growth rate was 16.34 which declined to 13.66 

during the period 2001 to 2011. One of the attributes of declining rate of population growth is 

out-migration of a sizeable population from the district for various purposes like labour and 

employment, education etc. Further, the average annual exponential population growth rate in the 

district was 1.51 during1991 to 2001 which reduced to 1.29 during 2001 to 2011. 

1.5 District Development Indicators: 

Education, health and income are important indicators that decide the human development status. 

According to the first state Human Development Report, 2004, the value of the Human 

Development Index [HDI] of Sundargarh district was 0.683 as against Orissa’s overall HDI of 

0.579. The district had an HDI above the State average and was ranked among the top five 

districts of the state [4 th rank]. Of the three components of the district HDI, the education index 

was 0.740 [State: 0.723], the health index was 0.692 [State: 0.468] and the income index was 

0.618 [State; 545]. This suggests that though the district has done reasonably well in terms of 

education indicators, there is scope for bringing improvement in the health and income indicators 

at par with education indicators, though these indicators are above the state figures. The 

indicators are uniformly distributed across the district rather its distribution is more spatial in 

nature i.e. performance of some indicators are high in certain pockets and comparatively low in 

some other. The HDI values of the district are highly influenced by the development indicators of 

industrial and mining areas as normally the measurable indicators of these areas remain high 

above the non-industrial and mining areas. As indicators for industrial & mining area cannot be 

segregated from the other parts of the district, it cannot be said that the status of human 

development [indicators as per 2004 state human development report] is uniform across the 

district. 

1.6 Agro-Climatic: 

Topographically, the district exhibits widely diversified tracts of mountains, inaccessible forests 

and extensive river valleys with variegated flora and fauna and a rich bio-diversity. The areas 

covered by Sundargarh and Panposh Sub-divisions are long undulating tracts of about 700 ft. (213 

mt.) above the sea level, dotted with hill-ranges and isolated peaks of considerable height. 

Similarly, the Bonai Sub-division is largely an isolated hilly tract with an average elevation of 

about 800 ft. (244 mt.) above sea level. The soil of the district is largely infertile, except some 

tracts of alluvial soil on river line areas where cereals, pulses, oil seeds, vegetables etc. are grown. 

1 Total geographical area of the state is 155,707 sq. km 



The hot season begins in March and touches the highest in May with temperature ranging 

between 410C to 490C. The temperature of the district normally remains high in Mid May till the 

arrival of the monsoon. Sometimes, the different parts of the district receive pre-monsoon rain 

which regulates the rising temperature. The temperature begins to fall with the arrival of monsoon 

by mid-June [normally between 15th to 20th June]. The district receives maximum rainfall 

between June and September through south-west monsoon. Though the normal rainfall is 

1647.6MM, rainfall has mostly been erratic and during the last decade there is a wider deviation 

from normal rain fall ranging from -318.8MM to -656.80MM. The month of July gets the 

heaviest rainfall of the year, though rainfall is not very regular throughout the season but fairly 

uniform throughout the district. The relative humidity varies from 30% to 86%. The relative 

humidity remains high during monsoon and later it decreases. During winter, the air remains 

fairly dry. The driest part of the year is the summer season when the relative humidity remains 

low especially in the afternoon when it remains at 25% to 30%. The district faces occasional flash 

floods which, because of the terrain, cause heavy damage to roads and crops. Occurrence of 

drought of different degree [less than 50% crop loss, 50%-75% crop loss and more than 75% crop 

loss] is relatively frequent due to various reasons such as uneven and erratic rainfall, inadequate 

irrigation infrastructure and inadequate soil moisture to retain the crop etc. 

Actual rainfall data of the district from 1901 to 1950 reflects that the district was receiving a 

minimum of 1201 mm rainfall with a highest of 2300 over a period of 47 years. During this 

period, the district had never received less than 1200 mm rainfall in any of the 47 years. Looking 

at the amount of rainfall the district was receiving, it can be said that overall amount of rainfall 

received by the district was quite sufficient for agricultural activities and less amount of rainfall 

as an attribute to the occurrence of draught was quite insignificant. However, distribution of 

rainfall, its onset and ceasing time cannot be ascertained from the amount of rainfall the district 

was receiving. But looking at the present trend of rainfall, it shows a decreasing trend.

Note: Data of 47 Years 

During this period, the average annual rainfall in the district was 1647.6 mm and it was fairly 

uniform in the whole district. About 86% of the annual rainfall is received during the monsoon 

months extending over June to September and July is the month of heaviest rainfall. The variation 

in the rainfall from year to year is not large. During the period 1901 to 1948, the annual rainfall 



was the highest in 1943 when it amounted to 138% of the normal rainfall. The lowest annual 

rainfall of 73% of the normal occurred in 1924. During the same period of 48 years, annual 

rainfall less than 80% of the normal occurred in two years. In the recent years, the district 

witnesses’ significant difference in the normal and actual rainfall as presented in the matrix.

1.7 Land and Soil: 

Cultivable land of the district can be classified into four categories. Aatt lands are mainly unbounded 

uplands which are less fertile and rain-fed. Maal lands are bounded uplands and 

terraced to catch run-off. Berna lands are medium or mid-low lands with average fertility. Bahal 

lands are low lands, which are generally plain fertile lands suitable for paddy cultivation. Danger 

lands are located on hill slopes and are occasionally utilized for shifting cultivation while Bari 

lands are adjacent to homestead lands and are used generally as kitchen gardens for cultivation of 

fruits and vegetables. The area, along the banks of major rivers namely Brahmani, Sankha and 

Koel are generally alluvial sandy and sandy loam spills. 

Soils are mostly acidic to neutral in reaction with medium level of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) 

and Potash (K). Tables-5 and 6 summarize some characteristics of soils including their nutrient 

index. The major soil types of the district are: red soil (alfisol), laterite and lateritic soils (ultisol 

and exisol) and black soil (vertisol) with patches of forest soils (humults). The distribution of 

different soil types by block is given in the table.

1.8 River System: 

Brahmani and Ib are the two principal rivers of the district. The Ib originates from the Khudia 

plateau in the Ex-state of Jaspur in Chhatisgarh and enters the district from the North at Tilijora. 

It passes through Sundargarh and merges in the Hirakud reservoir on Mahanadi at Brajarajnagar 

of Jharsuguda district. The Tumga and the Ichha rivers along the western bank and the Safei on 

the Eastern bank are the principal tributaries of Ib. The confluence of the Koel and the Sankha 

rivers at Panposh is the beginning of river Brahmani, the second largest river of Odisa. Besides 

these two major rivers, a number of small natural streams flow throughout the district.

1.9 Literacy 


The literacy rate of the district remains at 65.22% (2001) can well be compared with the State 

percentage of 63.61% (2001). However, rural literacy percentage is much below the State 

average. The percentage of male and female literacy in rural areas is 67.73 and 43.37 

respectively.

Source: Census 2001 

Looking at the trend of literacy in the district, it is pertinent that in 1991, the literacy rate of the 

district was 52.97% which increased to 65.22% during 2001 and further to 74.13% during 2011 

i.e. growth of 12.25 percentage point from 1991 to 2001 and 8.91% from 2001 to 2011. Though 

rate of growth in literacy during the last decade i.e. 2001 to 2011 is comparatively less than the 

earlier decade i.e. 1991-2001, still the district has achieved a positive growth. Normally, it 

happens that once a level is attended, moving upward in the ladder from the achieved midpoint 

normally becomes tough and difficult. In-spite of that, the district achievement remains 

encouraging with 8.91% decadal literacy growth. 

Growth in literacy by gender shows that during 1991, male literacy was 65.41% against the state 

average of 63.09% which increased to 75.95% during 2001 i.e. by 10.54% and further to 82.13% 

i.e. by 6.18% by 2011. Similar growth trend is marked with regard to female literacy rate in the 

district. During 1991, the female literacy rate was 39.60 which increased by 14.65% reaching at 

54.25% during 2001. Female literacy rate further increased by 11.68% during 2011 and reached 

at 65.93%. The rate of growth in women literacy rate in the last two decades is comparatively 

higher than that of male literacy growth rate. Gender Disparity in education also shows a 

declining trend i.e. from 0.6518 during 1991 to 0.3952 during 2001 and further to 0.2771 during 

2011. Education Deprivation Index further reflects that the district was having index value of 

79.06 [based on census 2001] which is much higher than many other districts of the state. Overall 

achievement in women literacy is because of various educational initiatives by Central 

Government, State Government and many other individuals and agencies to promote women 

education in the district. 


1.10 Forest Resources: 


Forests, which cover about 51.07% of the total area of the district, play a very important role in 

the economy of this tribal district. The forests found here are of moist peninsular valley Sal forest, 

dry peninsular sal forest, Dry mixed deciduous forest and dry bamboo forest. Bamboo, timber 

(Bija, Asan, Sal) and Kendu leaves are the principal forest produce of the district. The minor 

forest products like siali leaves, myobalance, char, seeds, broomsticks, Kusum seeds, Sunari bark, 

honey, lac, sabai grass, mahua flowers, mahua seeds etc. are the main earning sources of the 

tribes. The management of the entire forest areas of the district is looked after by the Sundargarh, 

Panposh and Bonai forest divisions.

1.11 Mineral Resources 


Being rich in mineral resources, the district occupies a place of prominence in the mineral map of 

the state. Mining activities here date back to 1898 when lime stones were exploited in the Bisra 

region. Then a systematic and scientific exploitation of manganese ore at Gadiajore, dolomite at 

Panposh and limestone at Birmitrapur started during the year 1898, 1912 and 1917 respectively. 

Later, mining for iron ore, coal and bauxite were also started. The total output of minerals in the 

district during the year 2000-01 is 688.67 lakh MT and the total number of working mines is 355. 

Such mining activities have influenced employment generation in these sectors to the tune of 

9779. 

1.12 Occupational Structure: 

There is a large diversification in the occupational structure of the districts. The proportion of 

population engaged in different occupations in the district is given in the following table.

more than 50% of the total work force depending for their sustenance. Total cultivated area of the 

district is 3, 36,000 hectares which is 35% of the entire area of the district. Percentage of irrigated 

area under kharif and rabi crops are 11.4% and 4.48% respectively. Rice is the principal food crop 

of the district. The productivity of rice per hectare is 17.43 Qtl / hect. Average size of land 

holding in the district is 0.17 hectare. Around 13,000 hectare is coming under the fallow land; 

while the pasture land is traced around 16,000 hectares. The scenario of the agriculture

Chapter V: Resource Envelop of PS, GPs & ULBs 

Sundargarh district is having 17 blocks, and 4 Municipality. The block wise detail outlay status is 

placed on the availability of resources in the district. The district plan for the year 2012-13 has 

been formulated on the basis of the proposals received from the GPs, PS and ZPs along with line 

departments as per the requirement in different areas. As such the requirement of funds during the 

aforementioned period exceeds the proposed outlay for the district. An effort has been maid to 

bridge the gap between requirement and availability through other funding windows like BRGF, 

NREGA, WODC, Biju KBK, NRHM etc. The flow of funds and correpsondending schemes are 

presented in the matrix below. 

Sundargarh has 262 Gram Panchayats, 17 CD Blocks, Four municipalities. The block wise outlay 

is based on requirement as well as realistic assessment of the availability of resources, distributed 

over different blocks in the district. Total proposed outlay for the rural areas is estimated for the 

Annual Plan 2012-13 (Block wise proposed outlay is presented in Table). However, details of 

resource flow of each Block/ULB from all sources are given in Annexure.

Chapter VI: Sectoral District Plans/Schemes [Ongoing & New] 

6.1 Sectoral Districts Plans / Schemes 

Sundargarh is one of the most populous districts of Orissa having 17 Blocks and 4 ULBs. The districts 

has always had very high growth potential, however it still remains undeveloped in many areas in 

comparison to other districts. Although the district has abundance of high quality human and non-human 

resources, the various sectors have not been able to interlink, thus leaving many regions of the district 

poorly developed. We base our exercise on the premise that the annual plan for 2011-12 will achieve set 

targets and also converge with the objectives of the annual plan.

6.2 Agriculture and Allied Sector: 

6.2.1 Agriculture: 

The Agriculture sector is playing a vital role in the development of the rural economy of the Sundargarh 

district. In this context District Agriculture Planning Unit (DAPU) has categorically analyzed & 

consolidated the Gram Panchayat & Samitte level peoples’ Plans and emphasized the following major 



agricultural activities & innovative schemes for catering to the farmers needs with reference to 

enhancement of production and productivity in agriculture sector in a sustainable manner. The following 

chart envisages the detail activities and innovative schemes included in the district plan are: development 

of production & productivity rice, pulses, oilseeds, maize with cluster approach, diversification of 

cropping pattern, organic farming, management of Acid soils, seed village programme, farm 

mechanization, micro irrigation, farm field demonstration, training, exposure visit, development of 

infrastructure and farm extension programme. 

There are four major constraints to agriculture development in the district. They can be broadly 

categorized as reachout capacity of the institution, physical constraints, technological constraints and 

financial / investment constraints. With proper capacity building and organizational arrangements 

physical and technological constraints could be minimized to achieve vision goals. The Projected outlay 

for the Agriculture and allied sector of Annual plan is Rs. 9048.87 Lak

Total 9048.87 

Needs Assessment and priority setting are essential to the successful planning and achievement of targets 

in all sectors. This will have an immense impact on Allied sectors in the coming years. Horticulture, 

Animal Husbandry, Fisheries would play a vital role in the economy of Sundargarh. The Allied sectors 

must be taken into account while planning as they would result in the improvement of backward areas, 

efficient utilization of natural, financial and human resources, poverty reduction, hunger free society and 

increase in generation of income and employment. These sectors would be instrumental in the overall 

empowerment of farmers and rural and urban entrepreneurs and lead to holistic development of the 

district. Several steps would be undertaken for development in this sector. Opening up of new seed sales 

centers and timely supply of fertilizers and pesticides will facilitate higher productivity. 

Due to increase in pressure on land it is imperative to increase land productivity through the use of 

modernized methods and double cropping. In order to maintain employment levels or increase them, there 

would be use of labour intensive techniques incorporating tools. However, as the percentage of people 

engaged in agriculture is high in comparison to its contribution to the DDP, a substantial number of 

dependants on agriculture need to be absorbed in other sectors particularly allied activities through 

employment generation. 

6.2.2 Horticulture: 

Horticulture sector in Sundargarh district has created a special recognition for vegetable production. Apart 

from vegetables, some fruits like Mango, Lemon, Banana, Guava, Custard apple, Jack fruit and Papaya 

are also under cultivation in the district. In few pockets spices like Ginger and Turmeric and in 



Floriculture Rose, Marigold, Tube rose and Gladiolli are being grown by the farmers in the district. The 

present agro climatic condition, soil status, socio-economic and marketing scenario of the district are 

highly conducive for promotion of horticultural development in the district. As mentioned earlier the 

district has experienced an average rain fall of 1400 mm per annum and minimum annual temperature of 

10 degree celcius a maximum temperature of 48 degree celcius and relative humidity of 75%. The 

important vegetables grown by the farmers are tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, knoll khol, brinjal, chilly, 

Capsicum and Potato etc. Nuagaon block is the highest producer of vegetables in the district especially 

tomato, Brinjal, Cabbage and Cauliflower. In Bargaon and Kutra blocks capsicum and Chilly are the 

major vegetables crops, where as in Hemgir & Lephripara blocks Pointed Gguard are commercially 

grown by the farmers. Ginger is largely grown in some pockets of Hemgir block since last 10 years. There 

is huge scope for intensive vegetable cultivation in the district both in irrigated and rain fed situation. 

6.2.2.1 Strategy: 

• Basing on the Agro climatic and soil condition different Horticulture crops would be taken up 

for different areas 

• Fruit plants will be planted both in irrigated and non-irrigated conditions 

• Horticulture Nurseries in private sector would be encouraged including strengthening of 

government nurseries and farms 

• Protected cultivation like green house, shade net and mulching would be initiated and 

encouraged 

• Dissemination of latest technology through demonstration, training, workshops and 

exhibitions at Block and Sub-divisional level 

• Emphasis will be given on integrated pest management and Organic farming 

• For post harvest management, preservation activities of fruits and vegetables will be taken 

care of 

• Promotion of private entrepreneurs for sale of Horticultural inputs, garden tools and 

implements 

• Use of Vermicompost and bio-fertilizers with aim for organic farming will be encouraged 

• National Horticulture Mission (NHM): The National Horticulture Mission is in operation 

in the state since 2005-06 with the objective of increasing production of suitable fruits in the 

state. This enhances the status of farmers, promotion of export oriented agro based industries 

through provision of subsidy on supply of quality planting materials. This is a centrally 

sponsored Scheme with a perspective Plan Outlay for Sundargarh of Rs. 1453.36 lakh for 

annual plan 2012-13, with a funding pattern of 85:15 between Centre and State. 

6.2.3 Fisheries: 

The present level of fish production in Sundargarh district is 5158 MTs annually coming from extensive 

tank fishery and capture resources. The district bestowed with total inland water resources is about 7648 

Ha. which includes G.P.Tanks, Revnue tanks, Private tanks and reservoirs. About 2683.22 Ha. of water 

bodies are being stocked with seeds at present, which implies that half of the total available resources are 

still unutilized. More than 80% of the water bodies dry up after the month of January creating a barrier for 

pisciculture. The district has a total of 138 MIPs having MWSA of about 701.48 ha. .The district has 5 

reservoirs having MWSA of about 4264 ha. The demand of fry in the district is about 260 lakhs against 



which only 60 lakhs are produced from district farm and 93 lakhs from fry rearing unit of pvt. sector. The 

remaining 78 lakhs are being procured from the other district deptt. farm, OPDC, and from other provate 

entrepreneurs. Although the district registers a tank area of about 2683.22 ha, owned by GP and Revenue 

deptt, little efforts has been given for pisciculture in organised manner. 

Majority of tanks are in derelict, semi-derelict condition and dry up just after winter. Recently steps have 

been taken by the district administration to grant long term lease to GP tanks giving special preference to 

Self Help Groups. 289 nos. of SHGs have already adopted pisciculture. There is limited scope for 

development of pisciculture through Bank finance. However, of late the bankers are now gradually giving 

interest towards pisciculture as real and good area for investment. Mean while some educated youths are 

coming forward to take up pisciculture as their self employment enterprise that need to be properly 

trained. The scope of training to fish farmers is limited to the target fixed under FFDA which is about 25- 

50 beneficiaries per year. The block level awareness camps are being conducted on pre-stocking and poststocking 

management aspects every year under co-operative movement nos. of P.F.C.S. are functioning 

in the district enrolling about 1100 members. They mainly depend on capture fisheries resources. There is 

limited production of ice in exsisting factory and no cold storage facility for fish so far in the district. In 

view of doubling the fish production there is need for formulation of long term stratergic plan with 

integrated approach giving emphasis on integrated farming, infrastructure development both in govt. and 

pvt. Sectors, assured credit and marketing linkage, capacity building of the fish farmers through technical 

and 

6.2.4 Animal Husbandry: 

The animal husbandary sector is one of the most important allied sectors which actually creates a lot of 

income generation opportunities for all categories of farmers both in rural and urban areas. Even a land 

less farm holder can take an activity like dairy, goatery, poultry or piggery as an enterprise for income 

generation of his family.A slight change from traditional to commercial and integrated approach in 

rearing of live stock animals and birds can make a big change in family and district income. 

The Animal husbandry Department provides health coverage, round the year to 14,62,916 numbers of 

livestock of the district covering an average of 294699 numbers of animals under treatment, 1149450 

nos. under vaccination and 26691 nos. of cows under Artificial Insemination for breed upgradation. 

Besides, 112 nos. of Health camps are organized per year which largely contributes to maintain the 

existing livestock resources that supports the livelihood of 70% of the rural population. The service 

coverage has to be increased to cater to the veterinary needs of more than 80% of the total livestock 

population. 

6.2.5 Soil Conservation: 

The department of Soil Conservation is working in the district since 1953 covering 17 blocks. The major 

drainage system in the district covers Ib River, which is a tributary to Primary River “Mahanadi”. The 

primary River Brahmani formed at Vedvyas with joining of its two tributary Sankha and Koel. Major 

emphasis since was laid on Soil & Water conservation activities, focusing on rain water management, 

checking further deterioration of gullies in vulnerable areas thereby improving agricultural status by 

conserving the in-situ soil moisture status in the non- bunded up land and marginal lands. The field 

activities of the department was further highlighted and strengthened with the introduction of River 



Valley Project (RVP) during 1990 and N.W.D.P.R.A. in all the 17 blocks under Rainfed farming system 

during 1990 – 91 and subsequent watershed projects under I.W.D.P. during 2000 – 01. 

The working sub division in the district is Soil Conservation sub divisions, Sundargarh and Bargaon 

covers the revenue sub division, Sundargarh, the Soil Conservation sub division, Panposh covers Revenue 

sub division, Panposh and the S.C. sub division, Bonai and Lahunipara covers the Bonai revenue sub 

division. These five sub divisions are the executing agency and looking after all the soil and water 

conservation activities in the district covering all the departmental and non- departmental, both state and 

centrally sponsored schemes under the administrative control of Soil Conservation Division, Sundargarh 

and Panposh. 

6.3 Rural Development: 

Rural population constitutes nearly 80% of total population in Sundargarh. Rural sector suffers from 

multiple disadvantages like high incidence of poverty, poor access to health care facilities, disguised 

unemployment in primary sector etc. Despite several efforts, these parameters continue to remain at high 

level causing distress in growth. During the 11th Five Year Plan, it has been planned to adopt various 

strategies to create more gainful employment, improve economic condition, and better standard of living. 

This will result in improving social and economic infrastructure to the rural people and providing 

universal access to basic minimum facilities. 

Development Vision: Proper implementation of various schemes will generate huge employment 

opportunities for various categories of workers in rural and urban areas. In addition, direct employment 

opportunities will be provided under NREGA. At least 200 days of additional employment will be 

ensured to rural people by 2020. NREGA activities will be converged with other sectors like soil 

conservation, horticulture and fishery. Apart from NREGA, SGSY will be implemented efficiently. Over 

the years, attempts will be made to improve the quality and quantity of employment, productivity of 

workers and their income. 

Objectives: 

Strategy: 

• Ensure employment for about 1 lakh households during the 11 th Plan period 

• Provide employment to all job aspirants under NREGA by utilizing 90% NREGA fund 

• Ensure to provide 200 days of additional employment to rural people 

• Reduce poverty by 15% 

• Rural Infrastructure development 

• Supply of drinking water and total sanitation 

• Providing sustainable source of livelihood 

Outlay: To achieve these objectives through the above strategy a sum of Rs.10004.30 lakh has been 

proposed under various rural development related plans and schemes for the Annual Plan 2012-13. 


6.3.1 Rural Employment 


Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY): This scheme covers all aspects of self employment 

such as organization of BPL families into SHGs, skill up-gradation, training and development of 

infrastructure along with market link-up. The objective is to enable every targeted family to cross poverty 

line within 2 years (2010-11 & 2011-12) by providing income generating assets through bank credit and 

government subsidy. With the funding pattern of 75:25 ratio between Center and State, a sum of 

Rs.881.23 lakh has been provisioned for the Plan Year 2012-13

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS): The objective is to 

provide livelihood security to rural households by providing at least 100 days of wage employment 

(unskilled manual work). The details are presented below: 

1. To strengthen food security and to improve nutritional status of unemployed and underemployed 

households by providing 100 days of employment to each BPL family willing to work 

2. To optimize resources available under all the development programmes operational at the 

Panchayat level and to provide best possible and meaningful option for convergence/dovetailing 

of all such programmes 

3. To derive maximum benefit in favour of the rural poor specially with regard to generation of 

employment opportunities both in terms of wage and self employment, through creation of need 

based optimum infrastructure at the Panchayat level in the short term and develop self sustaining 

robust Panchayat economy in the long run 

4. To create necessary infrastructure in the following categories 

i. Water conservation and drought proofing including afforestation 

ii. Land development 

iii. Flood control and protection measures (including drainage in water logged areas) 

iv. Rural connectivity 

Achievement: Under MGNREGS about one lakh forty one thousand households have been provided 

employment till 29 th May 2010 and 23.53 lakh man-days of works have been created. So far 11689 no. of 

total works undertaken, out of these 3110 works have been completed and remaining 8588 works are in 

progress. For the annual action plan outlay under MGNREGS of the district the total estimated cost is for 

the year 2012-17 Rs.31493.13 lakh. 

Constraints: During sensitization programmes for the PRI members and discussion with them at Block 

levels and Gram Panchayats, PRI members raised the questions concerning the creation of permanent 

assets. According to them assets created under MGNREGS may not be lasting for a long period, as the 

ratio of labour component and materials is 80:20; hence the objective of assets creation through NREGS 



is in question and may not achieved. There has been a suggestion for increasing the share of the material 

component (the ratio would be 60:40) so that they can have durable assets in their vicinity under the 

MGNREGS. 

Integrated Wasteland Development Project (IWDP): The scheme is being implemented with a sharing 

pattern. The Central Share is released by Government of India, Ministry of Rural Development directly to 

DRDA’s. The Government in Agriculture Department releases the matching State Share to the DRDAs 

directly. DRDAs release the funds to the PIA and Watershed Committees. 

Objectives: The project aims at generating rural employment and people’s participation in the wastelands 

development programmes at all stages. The major activities included in this project are: 

• Soil and moisture conservation measures like terracing, bunding, trenching, vegetative barriers 

etc. 

• Planting and sowing of multi-purpose trees, shrubs, grasses, legumes and pasture land 

development. 

• Encouraging natural regeneration 

• Promotion of agro-forestry and horticulture 

• Wood substitution and fuel-wood conservation measures 

• Measures needed to disseminate technology 

• Training, extension and creation of greater degree of awareness among the participants 

• Encouraging people’s participation 

Mo Kudia: This is a new scheme aimed at providing dwelling houses to needy rural poor below poverty 

line. The Scheme shall supplement resources available under IAY and increase availability of housing for 

the rural poor. The Annual Plan Outlay for the district under this scheme is Rs. 313.70 lakh. 

6.3.2 Special Area Programme: 

Removal of regional disparities has been emphasized during various plan periods. In fact, intra-district 

disparity has become pronounced due to several factors such as differences in endowment of natural 

resources, creation of infrastructure, occurrence of natural calamities etc. To address these issues special 

area development programmes have been framed. In Sundargarh district, funds received under BRGF, 

three Intregrated Tribal Development Agency and the Article 275(1) of the constitution are being utilized 

to remove intra district disparities. The Perspective Plan Outlay for the district under this sector is 

Rs.53625.45 lack Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF). The Backward Regions Grant Fund is 

designed to redress regional imbalances in development. The fund will provide financial resources for 

supplementing and converging existing developmental inflows into 250 identified districts, so as to: 

1. Bridge critical gaps in local infrastructure and other development requirements that are not being 

adequately met through existing inflows 

2. Strengthen Panchayat and Municipality level governance with more appropriate capacity building 

3. Facilitate participatory planning, decision making, implementation and monitoring, to reflect 

local felt needs 

4. Provide professional support to local bodies for planning, implementation and monitoring of their 

plans 



5. Improve the performance and delivery of critical functions assigned to Panchayats 

6. Counter any possible deficiency and equity losses on account of inadequate local capacity 

The Annual Plan Outlay for the district under BRGF is Rs.31.14 Crores. 

Grants under Article 275(I) of the Constitution: These grants under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, 

Government of India, provide grants-in-aid as SCA to the State under 1 st provision of Article 275 (I) of 

the Constitution for creation of infrastructure in TSP areas and for setting up of Model Schools. The 

Annual Plan Outlay for the district under above programme is Rs.1011.40 lakh. 

Special Central Assistance for TSP Areas: This programme receives Special Central Assistance (SCA) 

from the Ministry of Tribal Affairs for implementation of program under Tumba Development Agency, 

etc. for the development of Scheduled Tribes. The Annual Plan Outlay for the district under above 

programme is Rs.1832.44 lakh. 

Western Orissa Development Council: These grant under the Planning & Coordination department of 

Government of Orissa, provide grant-in-aid for implementation of program in Sundargarh district. The 

Annual Plan Outlay for the district under above programme is Rs.600.00 lakh. 

6.4 Irrigation & Flood Control: 

Development of irrigation has been accorded prime importance during the 11 th Plan. However, recently, 

the approach towards irrigation has undergone a sea-change not only in the district but in the state as well. 

Emphasis is being given on sustainable water resource management through watershed development 

approach and water users’ association. This participatory approach will be taken to develop the sector in 

best possible manner. During this annual plan period, multiple approaches will be undertaken to increase 

both potential creation and utilization of irrigation areas. The propose plan outlay for the year 2012-13 is 

3303.82 lakh.

6.5 Energy: 

Among the prime inputs energy has always been a major thrust area as far as infrastructure is concerned. 

This is crucial for the economic development as well as overall well-being of the people. Increase in 

power generation has cascading effects on all sectors leading to increased growth in agriculture, industry 

et al. Generation and supply of energy at affordable prices has always remained a great challenge. Both 

conventional energy and non-conventional sources of energy have been of considerable importance to 

fulfill the growing demands in the district. Domestic as well as commercial consumption of energy has 

increased over the years. Several successive plans and schemes have been implemented since last few 



years. The proposed 12th five year plan for the Energy sector is proposed annual plan fortheyear 2012-13 

is Rs.4997.86 lakh.

Biju Gram Jyoti Yojana (BGJY): In Sundargarh, funds received under different schemes are being 

utilized to provide for electrification to all villages/habitations. This is being used to remove intra district 

disparities. Presently the Biju Gram Jyoti Yojana (BGJY) has been implemented. It is a state run program 

which has been formulated for electrification of villages/habitations which are not scheduled to be 

covered under the RGGVY. Through this scheme, by the end of 12 th Plan period, i.e. 2017 all the 

villages/habitations will be electrified. The Plan Outlay for 2012-17 under BGJY is Rs.4250.00 lakh. 

6.6 Industries and Minerals: 

The district is known for industry and minerals at the state and national level. With the initiatives of Govt. 

for the promotion of MSME, it is expected that small enterprises in shape of SSIs would come up in the 

district in the coming years. For different small scale industries as well as for the promotion of textiles 

and handloom, measures would be taken in the plan period with the proposed outlay of Rs.308.74 lakh.

by organizing exhibitions, festivals, workshops, exposure visits, technology demonstration, fairs, 

seminars and other such activities within and outside the district and state. The Perspective Plan Outlay 

for the district is Rs.35.49 lakh. 

6.7 Transport: 

Good infrastructure gives an area, zone or district an upper edge for attracting investment and 

mobilization of funds into the district. With the onset of liberalization an efficient transport infrastructure 

has become a necessity to enable the district to be a major player in the domestic and international 



markets through the transfer of goods produced specifically in the district to centers where they can be 

directed towards prospective national and international markets. The proposed Annual plan outlay for the 

year 2012-13 is Rs.32122.13 lakh.

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY): Continuous efforts have been carried out by the State 

and Central Government for rural road connectivity over the past years. However, only about 60% of the 

habitations have some road connectivity. The construction of these roads is not of high quality; hence 

they cannot be categorized as all-weather roads. Keeping this in view the Government launched the 

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) on 25th December, 2000 to provide all-weather road 

connectivity to unconnected habitations. It is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme. Fifty percent of the 

Cess on High Speed Diesel (HSD) is earmarked for this Programme. The primary objective of the 

PMGSY is to provide connectivity, by way of all-weather roads (with necessary culverts and crossdrainage 

structures, which is operable throughout the year); to all eligible unconnected habitations in rural 

areas with a population of thousand persons and five hundred persons and above in the Tribal (Scheduled 

V) areas.

6.10 Social Services: 

The objective of education is to empower people with skills, knowledge and positive attitude in order to 

have respectable sources of livelihood. It aims at reducing illiteracy rate and providing sound 

qualifications that can be put to use in practical field. Skill up-gradation and knowledge enhancement is 

possible through liberal and technical education. Elementary education has been the centre of focus since 

independence. The goal of universalization of elementary education has not so far been realized due to the 

inability to successfully handle local problems and identification of the issues and solutions in context to 

the situation of the district. To address various issues on quality education, multi-grade and multisituation 

activities need to be incorporated in the plan to deal with problems. The proposed Annual plan 

for Social Services is Rs.46174.07 lakh

Chapter VII: Tribal Sub-plan [TSP] 

7.1 Introduction 

The tribal population of the district is around 7,98,481 constituting 50.69% of the total population of the 

district 2 . The district is mainly dominated by khond, Gond and Sabar constituting 173542, 80701 and 

37798 respectively. As per census 2001, majority of the workers in tribal communities are associated in 

forest based livelihoods activities and also in the agricultural works. The literacy rate among the STs is 

the lowest among all the social categories i.e. 52.75% against the overall literacy rate of 65.22% of the 

district. The tribal male and female literacy rates estimated to be 64.66% and 40.90%. Comparing 1991 

with 2001, the overall growth rate in literacy rate of traibal is significant but a lot more need to be done in 

this regard. Majority of the tribal population in the district live in hilly and forest areas, which are mostly 

inaccessible and relatively less developed. Their economic status is generally below to other communities 

along with social and educational backwardness. The tribal sub-plan strategy has been adopted since the 

beginning of the Fifth Five Year plan (1974 -75) to secure overall development of the STs and to remove 

all socio-economic and educational disparities that has been a barrier for their development. The Tribal 

Sub-plan (TSP) approach envisages integrated development of the Tribal Areas, wherein all programmes 

irrespective of their sources of funding is to achieve the common goal of bringing the area at par with the 

rest of the state and to improve the quality of life of the tribals. The initial approach was oriented towards 

talking-up family oriented income generating schemes in the field of agriculture, horticulture, animal 

husbandry, elimination of exploitation, human resource development programmes through education and 

training programmes and infrastructure development programmes. This tribal development approach has 

now been re-oriented to cover employment-cum-income generation activities and development of 

infrastructure and allied welfare and development benefits. 

7.2 Objective of TSP: 

The objectives of the TSP are basically of two folds i.e. (i) socio-economic development of the Scheduled 

Tribes and (ii) protection of tribals against exploitation. Some of the broad objectives of the 12 th five year 

plan under TSP are access of the poor and assetless tribal people to livelihood, raising socio-economic 

condition of tribal, improving employable capacity, creation of productive assets at the tribal community 

level, improve survival, protection and development of the primitive Tribal Groups (PTGs) and bring 

them at par with the rest of the tribal and further mainstreaming them, provisioning land under FRA and 

securing their forest utilisation rights, bridging critical infrastructural gaps in tribal dominated areas 

[scheduled blocks and MADA blocks], special attention to their basic health and education and over and 

above improving their quality of life. 

7.3 Approach & Strategy: 

It is planned to adopt multi-pronged strategy to minimize the gap that exists between tribal and non-tribal 

mainstream them through welfaristic and development inputs. Some of the key propositions to realise the 

2 Census 2001 



objectives of tribal development are special education drive for tribals in tribal concentrated blocks 

focusing more on women education, preventive health care measures, nutritional inputs, food security 

through entitlement approach and linking them to PDS and other food security schemes is any family is 

out of the perview of such welfare measures, developing physical and social infrastructure and facilities in 

traibal dominated blocks etc. Micro enterprise promotion in a collective / individual approach based on 

the will & wish of people, skill development, agicultural inputs for optimising production etc. 

Basically the Schedule Tribes area is characterized by rich endowment of hilly forest and natural 

resources, which are mostly inaccessible and isolated. Majority of their food and livelihood security is 

dependent upon shifting cultivation, wage earning and collection of minor forest produce. Tribal 

population of the district is mostly affected by the process of rapid urbanization and forest denudation as a 

result they are deprived of their natural endowment and sustainable source of livelihood. They are 

generally in a state of social, educational and economic backwardness. 

Tribal Sub-Plan focuses on comprehensive and holistic views of tribal problems to bring down the gap of 

socio-economic development between tribal and non-tribals. This is oriented towards household income 

generating schemes in the field of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, fishery, goat keeping, 

poultry etc. Elimination of exploitation, development of human resources through education, health and 

training programme are the main focus of the plan. 

7.4 Demographic Profile 

In Sundargarh, Scheduled Tribes comprises 50.69% of the total population of the district. The total 

Schedule Tribe population of the district estimated to be 7,98,481.

Source: Census of India, 2001 

Out of total Schedule tribe population of Sundargarh district, 80% of above population are staying in 

Gurundia block & 51.6% of tribals are staying in Tangarpali block. Sundargarh district is consisting three 

ITDA as Sundargarh, Panposh & Bonai. The Scheduled tribes account for 50.19 percent population of the 

district and Oran (27.05 percent) Munda etc. (21.16 percent) and Kisan (14.56 percent) are the largest 

tribal groups in the district. 

7.5 Education: 

The rate of literacy among STs is 52.75% against the overall district literacy rate of 64.86% as per 2001 

Census. The overall tribal male and female literacy rates are 64.66% and 40.90% respectively (table 7.2). 

The tribal female literacy is comparatively lesser than the district female literacy of 53.88%, which needs 

attention. The overall gender disparity index for literacy is 1.43, in respect of rural areas it is 1.57. While 

compare with district as well as rural gender disparity among STs, the gender disparity in urban area is in 

better position (0.33). The district and the state administration have taken this into consideration and 

initiated actions reduce disparity by emphasizing more on girls’ education. 

7.6 Landholding Patterns: 

The land holding pattern among Scheduled Tribes (STs) in Sundargarh district is highly skewed. Among 

all categories the ST marginalized community has least share in land. Large numbers of household have 

small holdings. They are not in a position to heavily rely on farming as a principal livelihood option. 

7.7 Occupation Pattern and Livelihood Programme 

A number of livelihood support programmes have been implemented in various sectors and departments 

in convergence. Swarnajayanti Gramya Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY), Backward Regions Grant Fund 

(BRGF) and National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) are major flagship programmes 

implemented in the district to generate employment and income. Under agriculture and allied activities 

Rastriya Krishi Vikash Yojana (RKVY) and National Food Security Mission (NFSM) are two flagship 

programmes currently ongoing to accelerate production of foodgrains that would ensure better equity and 

reduce food insecurity and vulnerability. Social security measures to support the old age and distressed 

tribes, various provisions have been made in convergence with several programmes such as pensions to 

destitute, provision of supply of rice @ Rs.2/- per kg and strengthening the Public Distribution System 

(PDS) for the reduction of burden on the tribes. 

Under National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) Jobs have been provided to tribal 

households demanded for employment. Job cards have been provided to 23429 no. of households. 

572,674 no. of person-days was generated during 2008-09 among tribes which is 5.87% to total persondays 

generated in the district. Further, SC & ST households had higher shares in employment through 

NREGS as compared to their share in the population. 


7.8 Objectives of TSP: 


• Socio-economic development of ST and their inhabitation 

• Protection of tribes from exploitation. This can be achieved with: 

1. Secure forest right 

2. Proper land reform 

3. Improve and protect primitive tribal culture and tradition 

4. Regulate procurement of NTFP produces from the forest 

5. Reduce exploitation from money lenders promoting SHG & other small enterprises 

• To protect tribal rights on forest, land other natural resources. 

• To develop communication facilities and sustainable common infrastructure for tribal areas 

• To provide basic health service at rural tribal area 

• To reduce MMR/IMR promotion of institutional delivery 

• To achieve Universalization of Elementary Education, Compulsory education for all 

7.9 Strategy: 

• Education being the most effective tool of empowerment has been given high priority in tribal 

areas. 

1. Establishment of new residential schools and hostel for tribal children 

2. Provision for good quality food in MDM. Provision for writing and reading materials and 

extra classes for slow learners as well as bridge course for dropouts. Scholarships to 

increase enrollment and retention of the tribal children. Beside this special campaigns for 

enrollment in tribal pockets 

3. To reduce language (dialectical) barrier between teacher and students; can be achieved 

through special orientation course for teachers 

• Women development and empowerment is another instrument to achieve socio-economical 

development rapidly 

1. Formation of new SHGs and ensuring all tribal women being a member of any SHG 

2. Strengthening and capacity building of SHG through training on various handicrafts and 

other income generating activities considering the aptitude of local tribal and feasibility 

in respective areas 

• Adequate training and supervision to beneficiaries in all individual benefit oriented programme 

like SGSY, and other schemes 

• SHGs and PRIs are being strengthened under amended money lending regulation to enable the 

community to protect the individuals from exploitation by money lenders 

• Check and curb enforcement of land transfer from tribals to non-tribals and even from tribals 

having marginal and small land holdings to other tribals having larger land holdings 

• Provision for forest rights especially for forest dwellers and shifting cultivators 

• Strengthen SHGs, PRIs, and regulated markets to prevent distress sale of forest produce, and 

training for value addition for forest products 

• Rural connectivity for all tribal villages having more than 500 population 



• Integrated Awareness Campaign through IEC about various development programme, health, 

nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, importance of child care and education. Awareness about savings 

and reducing evil consequences of alcoholism and dogmatism have been given equal importance 

• Ensure proper implementation of employment generation scheme viz.; NREGS, BRGF, SGSY, 

IWDP, IAY and Cluster Micro Project 

7.10 Schemes under Tribal Sub-Plan: 

A number of schemes under TSP are currently running in the district. Employment generation schemes 

such as NREGS, BRGF, SGSY, IWDP, IAY, and Cluster Micro Project are being implemented in the 

district. For the agricultural development schemes like RKVY and AIBP are going on. For social security 

measures, SNP, AY, NOAP, NFBS, and MBPY schemes are being implemented. Priority has been given 

to tribal hamlets and villages in PMGSY for rural connectivity. Separate development agency for the PTG 

community is set up in three ITDA areas of Sundargarh District. 

7.11 Tribal Sub-Plan for 2012-13 

The Annual Plan TSP for the year 2012-13, has main emphasis for the socio-economic development of 

the ST communities of the district. An estimated budget plan of Rs. 52,819.9 lakh has been proposed for 

TSP. The sector wise outlay for the year 2012-13 is summarized below:

Chapter VIII: Schedule Caste Sub-Plan 


The Scheduled caste population of the district is 157745 constituting 8.3% of the total population of the 

district 3 . Majority of the workers in Scheduled caste communities are engaged in agricultural activities 

and most of them are having small agricultural holdings. Other occupational groups are weavers, sweeper 

and cobblers. The literacy among the SCs is 61.54% against the overall literacy rate of 64.86% as per 

2001 Census. Poor exposure, weak educational backbone and prevailing ignorance among the people of 

the Scheduled Castes make them vulnerable. A Central Act namely, the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled 

Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. 1989 has been enacted for prevention of atrocities on Scheduled 

Caste and Scheduled Tribes. The people of this community suffer from several economic disadvantages. 

Increasing spread of literacy and education among the scheduled caste people is a positive indication of 

their development. Besides the regulatory measures, welfare oriented measures are being taken up for 

people of this category for their socio-economic development. The special plan for SCs, known as 

Scheduled Caste Sub-plan is not area specific and crosscuts the whole district. 

8.2 Objective & Perspective: 

The broad objectives of the Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan [SCSP] are; 

1. Raising Socio-economic condition of the SCs and reducing poverty; 

2. Increasing employable capacity of SCs for enagement & livelihoods; 

3. Up gradation of traditional skills of occupational groups; 

4. Developing / improving social & physical infrastructure; 

5. Improving the status Human Development Parameters among SCs; 

6. Providing basic minimum services to improve the quality of their lives. 

7. Empowerment through legislative and regulatory measures. 

8. Elimination of scavenging & their rehabilitaiton. 

8.3 Plan Approach & Strategy: 

The people of Scheduled caste communities are relatively poor and have been discriminated socially. It is 

important that with the inactment of available law, the persisting social discrimination could be adoided 

and scope need to be provided for their mainstreaming. While the broad areas of planning looks at 

improving their socio-economic status with enforcement of available legal framework, the broad 

strategies for the plan period focus on specific areas like provision of self employment schemes for SCs 

with subsidised credit support, development of employable skill, infrastructural support for the SC 

inhabitated areas, composite programmes for traditional occupational groups like weavers and fisherman 

with emphasis on the supply of raw materials, developing market linkages for products, skill upgradation 

and introduction of modern technology etc, provision of basic amenities in SC habitations and household 

level, focused intervention for their health, education and livelihoods. 

3 Census 2001 



8.4 Perspective & Annual Plan: 

Schedule Caste Sub-Plan focuses on comprehensive and holistic views of problems of SCs to bring down 

the gap in pace of socio-economical development between SC community and others. This is oriented 

towards household income generating schemes in the field of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, 

fishery, goat keeping, poultry etc. and elimination of exploitation, human resource development through 

education and training programme and special emphasis to women empowerment. Unlike Tribal Sub- 

Plan, the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan is not area specific. The SC population is scattered all over the 

district. A comprehensive SCSP is formulated by coordinating plans of different sectors and ensuring 

adequate flow of funds for the benefits of the SC population. 

8.5 Demographic Profile: 

Sundargarh has 8.3% of Schedule Caste population with 157745 persons. Out of the total Schedule Caste 

population of the district, 102823 reside in rural areas and 54922 reside in urban areas.

8.6 Education: 

The Scheduled Castes have overall literacy rate is 61.54% as against the overall district literacy rate of 

64.86% as per 2001 Census. The SC male and female literacy rates are 74.14% and 48.70% respectively. 

Gender disparity is lower where literacy rate of female is high. Overall gender disparity index for literacy 

in rural areas is 1.38 and in respect of urban area it is 0.64. For the district as a whole (rural+urban), the 



disparity is 1.24. The district and the state administration have taken this into consideration and initiated 

actions to reduce disparity by emphasizing more on girls’ education. 

8.7 Landholding Patterns: 

The land holding pattern among Scheduled Castes (SCs) in Sundargarh district is highly skewed. Among 

all categories the SC marginalized community has least share in land. Large numbers of household have 

small holdings of land. They are not in a position to heavily rely on farming as a principal livelihood 

option. They have slowly but steadily shifted to the category of other workers. In Scheduled Caste group 

more than 74% belong to marginal category with average holding size of 0.40 ha. 

8.8 Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) Approach: 

Schedule Caste Sub-Plan approach for the development of the Schedule Caste has been adopted in the 

district from the beginning of the Sixth Five Year Plan. It is a strategic policy to secure overall 

development of SCs and to remove socio-economic disparities between the people belonging to this 

community and others in the society. The SCSP is formulated by coordinating the different sectoral plans; 

ensure adequate flow of funds directly for the benefit of SC people. This is oriented towards household 

income generating schemes in the field of agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, fishery, goat 

rearing, poultry, etc. Elimination of exploitation, human resource development through education, health 

and training programme and special emphasis to women empowerment are aims of the plan. 

8.9 Thrust Areas of Planning: 

The people of the Schedule Caste community are relatively poor and substantial part of this community is 

engaged in scavenging and un-clean occupations. This community has a low female literacy rate and 

dropout rate among the girl children is very high. The major thrust under SCSP is to provide these poor 

people access to resources and enhance their employment opportunities through need based composite 

programs like weaving, leather work, fishery, and wage employment etc. with emphasis on the supply of 

raw materials, developing market linkages for their products, skill up-gradation in vocations and 

introduction of modern technology. 

8.10 Objectives of SCSP: 

• Socio-economic development of SC and their inhabitation 

• Protection of SC from exploitation of higher caste 

• Encouraging the SC community to integrate them in mainstream of society 

• Providing free education, health, housing and livelihood promotion 

• Providing basic minimum services to enhance the quality of life 

• Empowerment through effective legislative and regulatory measures 

• Develop communication and sustainable common infrastructure development for SC 


8.11 Strategy: 


• Education being the most effective tool for empowering SC has been given high priority. This can 

be achieved through: 

1. Establishment of new residential schools and hostels for tribals 

2. Provision for good quality food in MDM, provision for writing and reading materials 

and extra classes for slow learners. Bridge courses for dropouts. Provide scholarship to 

increase enrollment and retention of the SC children. Beside this special campaign for 

enrollment in tribal pockets 

• Women development and empowerment is another instrument to achieve socio-economical 

development rapidly 

1. Formation of new SHGs and ensuring all SC women to become a member of a SHG 

2. Strengthening and capacity building of SHG through training on various micro enterprises 

such as weaving, leather work, sericulture and other income generating activities 

considering the aptitude of local SC and feasibility in respective area 

• Adequate training and supervision to beneficiaries in all individual benefit oriented programme 

like SGSY and its industrial promotion opportunities 

• SHGs and PRIs are being strengthened under amended money lending regulations to enable the 

community to protect the individual from exploitation by money lenders. Special campaigns are 

being set up for saving schemes 

• Check and curb enforcement of land transfer from SC to non SC and even from SC having 

marginal and small land holdings to other SC having larger land holdings 

• Awareness and rehabilitation programme for SC alcoholics. Establishment of Alcohol Addict 

Rehab centers and Counseling Centers at block level 

• Strengthen capacity building of SHGs, PRIs, and regulated markets to prevent distress sale of 

their products. Training for value addition to products 

• Integrated Awareness Campaign through IEC about various development programme, health, 

nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, importance of child care and education. Awareness about savings 

and reducing evil consequences of alcoholism and dogmatism have been given equal importance 

• Ensure proper implementation of employment generation schemes viz.; NREGS, BRGF, SGSY, 

IWDP, IAY and Cluster Micro Project 

8.12 Schemes for Scheduled Castes: 

A number of schemes under SCSP are currently running in the district. Employment generation schemes 

such as NREGS, BRGF, SGSY, IWDP, IAY and Cluster Micro Project are being implemented in the 

district. For the agricultural development schemes like RKVY and AIBP are going on. For social security 

measures, SNP, AY, NOAP, NFBS, and MBPY schemes are being implemented. Priority has been given 

to SC dominated hamlets and villages in PMGSY for rural connectivity. 



8.13 Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan for 2012-13 

The Annual plan SCSP for the year 2012-13, has main emphasis for the rural development, social services 

and special area programme of the SC communities of the district. An estimated budget plan of Rs. 

9679.6 lakh has been proposed for SCSP. The sector wise outlay for the year 2012-13 is summarized 

below:

Chapter IX: Backward Region Grant Fund [BRGF]: 


The Backward Region Grant Fund is designed to redress regional imbalances in development. The fund 

provides financial resources for supplementing and converging existing development inflows in to the 

district so as to 


adequately met through existing inflows. 

2. Strengthening panchayat and municipality level governance with more appropriate capacity 

building, to facilitate participatory planning, decision making, implementation and monitoring to 

reflect local felt needs 

3. Provide professional support to local bodies for planning, implementation and monitoring their 

plans 

4. Improve the performance and delivery of critical functions assigned to panchayats and counter 

possible efficiency and equity losses on account of inadequate local capacity. 

This plan integrates multiple programmes that are in operation in the concerned district and therefore 

address backwardness through a combination of resources that flows to the district. This is done without 

giving any schematic overlay to BRGF that would be subversive of the principal of local prioritisation in 

planning. Programmes identified for implementation under the fund is selected through people’s 

participation, particularly through Gram and ward sabhas in the rural areas and area sabhas and ward 

committees in the urban areas. Participatory plans prepared in each panchayat and municipality taking in 

to account all resources being spent in the area of the panchayat which covers; 

1. Sector and district segment of the state plan 

2. Centrally sponsored schemes [particularly flagship programmes] 

3. Fund inflows on account of the National employment guarantee programme 

4. Tied and untied grants from central and state finance commissions 

5. Fund inflows on account of the Bharat Nirman Programme 

The participatory plans prepared in each panchayat and municipality is consolidated in to the district plan. 

This reflects all the financial resources available in the district and ensures their optimal use. BRGF has 

two funding windows i.e. capacity building fund and untied grant fund. As per the guideline, each BRGF 

district receives a fixed minimum amount per annum. It is expected that the initiatives under BRGF will 

help to reduce the imbalance in development, contribute towards poverty alleviation in the backward 

district and promote better governance with accountability at panchayat and municipality level. 



The district has proposed RS. 3269.7 Lakh under BRGF the year 2012-13. The district entitlement for the 

plan year (2012-17) is Rs. 20908.45 Lakhs. The planning proposal has been inflated 150% to cover the 

previous year’s spillover projects and proposed plan budget is Rs. 209.08 crores. 

9.2 BRGF Allocation and Implementation: 

The BRGF fund is designed to redress regional imbalance in regional development. The fund provides 

financial resources to supplement and converging existing development inflows in 250 identified districts 

with the objectives: 


adequately met through existing inflows. 

2. Strengthen, to this end panchayat and municipality level governance with more appropriate 

capacity building, to facilitate participatory planning, decision making, implementation and 

monitoring to provide local felt needs 

3. Provide professional support to local bodies for planning, implementing and monitoring their 

plans. 

Improve the performance and delivery of critical functions assigned to panchayats and counter possible 

efficiency and equity losses on account of inadequate local capacity. 

9.3 Implementation of BRGF: 

9.3.1 Urban areas:

Total BRGF fund is allocated to rural and urban bodies in ratio of 60:40. The 60 percent share of the 

funds of rural local bodies is further distributed in ratio of 50:30:20 percent to GPs, PSs and ZP 

respectively. 

9.5 Methodology: 

With adherence to the Guidelines, the BRGF plan for year 2012-17 has been made in participatory and 

consultative manner. The projects both under rural and urban sectors have been identified considering the 

needs and priorities of the people. Projects to be taken up under GP fund were identified in the pallisabhas 

and the same were compiled and approved at GP level on the merit. Consultative process has been 

followed at Panchayat samiti levels too. The projects taken up by ULBs are also approved by the 

concerned ward sabhas by the ward members. 

9.6 Identification of Critical Gaps: 

Existing schemes/ Programmes sponsored by central and state government; and being implemented in 

rural and urban areas hardly cater to the critical needs and priorities of the people. Absence of untied 

funds with the rural and urban local bodies makes no difference in the situation of the people. 

Introduction and implementation of BRGF in backward areas of the state have helped to identify the 

critical gaps and bridge up the same with adequate resources. This Fund is untied in nature and being used 

for the most resource crunch sectors, as specified in the guidelines, and addressing critical needs of the 

people. 



9.7 Planned Activities by Sector: 

The Perspective five year BRGF Plan 2012-17 mostly focuses on connectivity, health, education, 

infrastructure development, drinking water, women and child development, electrification, sanitation, etc. 

in rural and urban areas. Sector-wise key activities proposed in the plan are given in the table as under.

Chapter X: Women component 


Women constitute 49% of the total population of the district and the sex ratio is 957 females for 1000 

males. The successive annual and five-year plan periods consistently and incessantly attempted to 

emphasize to bring women on par with men in socio-economic and political arenas. Therefore, the 

objective behind the series of schemes is to empower women and their children to become self-reliant and 

independent. The Integrated plan envisages a position of empowered women in the district along with a 

high quality of life for their children. 

10.2 Existing Situation: 

10.2.1 Demogaphic Composition: 

Women have historically outnumbered men in Sundargarh. The sex ratio has remained favourable. 

However, the proportion of females per 1000 males has been declining over the years. The sex ratio 

declined sharply from the highest 1,035 in 1931-41 to 999 in 1991 and 1,001 in 2001. Like other parts of 

the State, urban areas have still lower sex ratios than rural areas. A major concern, however, is that the 

population of girls in the 0-6 year age group has fallen sharply as compared to that of boys in the same 

age group as per the 2001 census. The proportion of women to the total population in the 2001 census has 

been 50.02% whereas the proportion of girls in the 0-6 year age group is only 49.60%. This yields a sex 

ratio of only 984 girls for 1000 boys in the 0-6 year age group in 2001 as against 1001 females per 1000 

males. This implies that the sex ratio is likely to worsen in Sundargarh in times to come. Current trends 

lead one to hypothesise that as development proceeds, and as urbanisation increases, the sex ratio 

worsens. Therefore, efforts are needed to reverse current trends so that favourable sex ratio is maintained 

at all times. 

10.2.2 Literacy Status: 

While, the district is having the rank of 16 at the state level in literacy with literacy rate of 74.13 %, 

literacy level in male is still higher [82.13%] than that of female [65.93%] by 16.2 percentage points. 

Though female literacy marked a significant improvement during 2011, in comparison to 2001 i.e. from 

53.88 % to 65.93%, still the gap persists and need to be bridged through appropriate policy and action. 

The gap in literacy between male and female in the district was 21.46 % during 2001. With increasing 

rate of literacy in both male and female categories, the gap reduced to 16.20% i.e. reduction of 5.26% 

over a period of 10 years and at the rate of 0.5% per year. The decadal difference in female literacy rate is 

much higher than the male literacy i.e. a difference of 12.05 % in case of female and 6.79% in case of 

male. It is evident that specific measures being taken by the Government for women education has started 

yielding the result. Apart from growth in the rate of literacy, the district also recorded significant decrease 

in illiteracy [all age group], irrespective of sex composition. The male illiteracy decreased by 0.97% over 

a period of 10 years whereas female illiteracy decreased by 0.68% during the same period. 



10.2.3 Women Empowerment Initiatives: 

Some specific measures that have been taken by the State for promoting gender equity and made a part of 

the gender sub-plan include: (1) ensuring equal wages for equal work for all without gender bias, (2) 

creating awareness and making efforts to promote female education, (3) creating additional infrastructure 

like ladies toilets and common rooms in educational institutions and public places, (4) reserving seats for 

girl students in technical institutions, (5) providing an enabling work environment where both men and 

women enjoy and actively participate in work, (6) reserving one-third seats for women in local 

decentralised governance systems which recently increased to 50%, (7) prohibiting illegal sex 

determination tests, (8) taking health measures to reduce female infant mortality and maternal mortality 

rates, (9) creating fast track special courts to deal with violence against women, (10) implementing the 

dowry prohibition act, (12) implementing appropriate women welfare programmes, and (14) 

implementing the law on sexual harassment at the workplace. The State has also taken several steps to 

improve gender equity and women’s welfare. For example, a number of educational programmes have 

been specifically directed to promote girls’ education. These include the National Programme for 

Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL), District Primary Education Programme (DPEP), and 

the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV). These programmes have been implemented in 

Sundargarh with a view to improving levels of female literacy in the district. 

Mission Shakti is a self help mission which aims at empowering women through formation and 

promotion of one lakh SHGs over a period of four years from 8 th March 2001. The target was further 

revised to 2 lakh Women SHGs and the time was extended to March 2008. Mission Shakti has made 

efforts to train SHGs in many non-traditional crafts for women, like Masonry, Pisciculture, Phenyle 

making, Agarbati making as well as Bookbinding and Badi and Papad making. 

10.3 Plan Approach: 

It may be argued that since gender is a social construct, gender disparities also result from social and 

economic processes. The typical roles, work profiles, power relations, differential access and control to 

resources and opportunities, and entitlements for men and women have resulted from deep rooted social 

orientations. Mainstreaming gender is both a technical and a political process, and requires shifts in 

organizational cultures and ways of thinking, as well as in the goals, structures and resource allocations. 

Mainstreaming requires changes at different levels within institutions, in agenda setting, policy making, 

planning, implementation and evaluation. Instruments for the mainstreaming effort include new staffing 

and budgeting practices, training programmes, policy procedures and guidelines. 

Addressing gender disparities requires actions at civil society level as well as at Government level. The 

efforts of civil society are needed to re-shape the deep rooted social orientations so that bias and 

discriminations against women are reduced. The State is mandated to enact appropriate laws, enunciate 

right polices and implement needed programmes for affirmative action in favour of women. It is 

heartening to note that gender disparities are being addressed at both civil society level and at the State 

level. A number of civil society organization have directed their efforts to generate awareness among all 

stakeholders, to lobby for appropriate policies, laws and programmes that may positively impact gender 

equality and equity. 



Though women were in the majority, with a 50.02% share in population of the district, in 2001, only 

about 36% women were returned as employed as against 57% men. Participation of women in productive 

activities [work participation] is also less than that of male due to domestic care. Women face a number 

of disadvantages in terms of employability. First, fewer women are employed than men. Second, they 

are paid lower wage rates than their male counterparts in farm and non-farm activities. Third, 

participation of women in non-farm activities is relatively less while their participation is more in farm 

related activities. These gender-related disparities need be addressed expeditiously and in a fair manner 

during the plan period. As the District Human Development Report of Sundargarh is under finalisation, 

the gender sub-planning would be further supported based on the computed GDI and GEM. 

10.4 Plan Proposition: 

10.4.1 Overall Perspective: 

• Better participation in decision making process at all level; 

• Improving the women literacy rate by focusing on girl child education, minimise their 

dropout from the upper primary level and introducing innovating learning method at school 

level. Once the education level and earning of the women folk is developed, they can better 

participate in the decision making not only in their households but in the society at large. 

Total literacy along with direct financial support for their education promotion can go a long 

way; 

• Effective functioning of Women SHGs and income generation. To make SHGs more 

efficient, the members of the WSHGs should be given trainings on vocational skills for 

encouraging self employment. The capacity building of the SHGs can be achieved by 

exposure visit to other successful SHGs of the state as well as national NGOs; 

• Increased participation in non-farm sector employment and to realize that vocational skill 

trainings can be organised for women; 

• Special health focus on women at different stages starting from adolescent which also 

includes health insurance coverage; 

• Strengthening women EWRs [elected women representatives] at all the levels by special 

training and exposure. Government of India in its Ministry of Panchayati Raj is having a 

special training scheme called RGSY which can contribute substantially. Handholding 

support to EWRs in their initial periods in the office can further help to strengthen them and 

making them more effective operationally. 

• Overall, the perspective looks at enhancing the work participation of women, specially in 

non-farm sector, increase their literacy and educational status, health care of women in a life 

cycle approach, vocational training of women, women based enterprise promotion, 

strengthening the EWRs, strengthening their participation and decision making at community 



and local governance level etc. based on this perspective the fund allocation is proposed by 

different sectors.

CHAPTER-XI 



Left Wing Extremism [LWE] 

Left wing extremism has been one of the potential threats to development with its increasing spread of 

tentacles. By sharing a common border with Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, the incidences of insurgency of 

people associated with such extremism has increased significantly in the district. As per the available 

information, around 400 villages are already affected in the district. 

11.2 LWE its Causes: 

Several reasons are responsible for growth and expansion of LWE activities in Sundargarh and most 

important of them has been poverty and alienation from main stream of development process. The district 

has not been the source of LWE rather a destination for expansion, a land to breed and expand the LWE 

operation by motivating and involving local people. LWE in the district is basically a product of the 

continuous process of underdevelopment not in the district or in the state rather at the national level. The 

area with larger population under BPL and the areas under greater influence of the LWE activities 

corroborate with each other. Some of the reasons of expansion of LWE activities in the district are as 

follows. 

Land Alienation: In an agrarian economy, alienation from land has got a direct impact on family 

livelihoods and thereby food security and survival of the family. Alienation from own land remained a 

fact till Government passed special act to minimise such land based exploitation. But by that time, many 

families were operationally landless and working as labourer in the land which was belonging to them. 

With increased industrial growth, quest for exploitation of natural resources including mines for the 

economic growth of the nation, development of infrastructure acquiring tribal land etc. aggravated the 

situation further. Moreover, the operational transfer of tribal land to the non-tribal people, despite several 

legal strictures, continues unabated. 

Social Iniquity and Exploitation: Social inequality contributes to economic discrimination in the 

context where both have a symbiotic relation. This has remained a reality at the national level and still 

continues to a greater degree in rural India, including Odisha. The oppressed classes were not only 

exploited as sharecroppers and landless labourers by the landlords, they also fall prey to money lenders. 

The groups constituting the sharecroppers and the landless labourers wanted a new social order with 

greater equity. On the other hand, the landed classes wanted to retain the status what they have been 

enjoying since ages. Also, the distinction between class and caste relationships remains very narrow and 

interrelated. Because both social and economic factors influenced the social standing and upper caste 

people with better economic situation, always took the advantage of the societal norms by fixing it for 

others. By this, the divide among haves and have not became wider day by day and contributed to LWE. 

Alienation of Forest Land: Alienation of Tribal land was a major issue that crippled their economic 

welfare. Alienation happened largely in tribal areas because of the ineffective policy and poor 

implementation of available law. Loss of access to forest produce which had constituted a significant part 



of their income and was also an integral part of their way of life, led to deep discontentment among the 

tribal and local people. The people who were most affected by such activities, fuel the fire and supported 

the expansion of LWE. 

Government has taken several tribal development programmes aimed at overall progress of the people 

and the region. But, it seems that all these programmes collectively have created an elite among the tribal 

population itself, leading to increased resentment among the tribal. 

11.3 Situation Analysis: 

In-spite of several initiatives of Government, the situation did not change much due to poor willingness 

and ownership of the policy at implementation level. Like everywhere else, the LWE movement has 

survived and sustained itself in Sundargarh because it revolves around the life of marginalized people. 

The extremist succeeded to motivate such oppressed section, supported them at the time of need and 

helped them to dream of a society that is more equity driven and just to live. Taking advantage of the 

acute poverty and system ineffectiveness, extremism flourished at the national level and expanded its 

tentacles to the state and district. 

11.4 Present Status and Degree of Hazard: 

The intrusion of extremists in the district has spread in different interior regions and as per the data 

available, there is differential degree of impact on the local development process and people. The number 

of blocks likely to get affected or having potential to be affected is 14 blocks with correspondingly 88 

GPs and 418 villages.

11.5 Strategies for Strengthening Security Measures: 

The state government has emphasized on the modernization of State Police force and accordingly funds 

are given to the district under the Police Modernization Scheme to modernize the police forces in terms of 

modern weaponry, latest communication equipment, mobility and other infrastructure. The LWE affected 

blocks have also been asked to identify vulnerable police stations and outposts in the LWE areas and take 

up their fortification under the Scheme. 

The Security Related Expenditure (SRE) Scheme of February 2005 has been revised. The level of 

reimbursement under the Scheme has been raised from 50% to 100% and new items like insurance 

scheme for police personnel, community policing, rehabilitation of surrendered extremist, expenditure 

incurred on publicity to counter propaganda of extremists, other security related items not covered under 

the Police Modernization Scheme etc., have been covered. The Scheme also allows release of funds to the 

LWE affected districts in advance. In order to supplement the efforts of the district in providing an 

effective response to the LWE violence, Central Para Military Forces have been deployed on a long-term 

basis. The Govt. has also started operation green hunt to contain the LWE at the state level. 

Further, to strengthen the security system, certain additional measures are highly essential such as 

follows. 

1. Preventive and curative measures 

2. Taking community in to confidence rather than individual 

3. Motivational campaign through appropriate means 

4. Community policing system 

5. Effective community based information strategy 

6. Arial surveillance system and spot tracking 

7. Livelihood support to identified potential families 

8. Employable skill building among the rural youths 

9. Enhancement in economic and physical infrastructure investment 

10. Rural enterprise promotion 

11.6 Combating LWE through Components Specific Approach: 

The government has revised the recruitment guidelines to divert the youth from the extremists affected 

areas to get into government jobs. Now, it has been permitted that 40% of the total recruitment in the 

Central Para Military Force (CRPF) can be taken up from the extremist or militancy affected areas. 

Another important measure of the government is related to the backward district development. The 

Central Government has been providing financial assistance to the district for infrastructure development. 

The government has requested the Planning Commission to include other extremist affected areas under 

their proposed Scheme of Backward Regions Grant Funds (BRGF). The extremist problem has a very 

deep connection with the tribal and forest areas as even today the main base of the extremist movement 

comes from these places only. In order to address the areas of disaffection among the tribal, the 

government is making efforts on the legislation front. Recognizing the right of the forest dwellers on the 

forest produces is an attempt to win over the tribal against the extremists.

Since the beginning of the movement, the extremist groups have been raising land and livelihood related 

issues. The central government now is pushing the states to carry the land reforms as fast as possible. But 

land reform in India has not been a political issue only rather a social and economic issue. It has always 

been difficult for the state governments to carry out any such legislative measures for the fear of losing 

vital middle class' support. The States have also been asked to put greater attention on creating 

employment opportunities in the extremist affected areas with special focus on creation of physical 

infrastructure in terms of roads, communication, power as also social infrastructure such as schools, 

hospitals etc. To do all these, government has been emphasising on following points. 

• To strengthen intelligence set-up at the state level; 

• To pursue effective and sustained intelligence driven police action against extremists and their 

infrastructure individually and jointly by the states 

• To accelerate development in the extremist affected areas. 

11.7 Social protection, Good governance and convergence: 

The government has introduced a bill in the parliament for safeguarding the land rights of the locals in the 

tribal areas is a good move. Similarly the extension of the Panchayati Raj programmes to tribal areas by 

giving greater power to the tribal village assembly is a modest measure in the right direction, but unless 

structural deformities are addressed in proper manner and the measures are undertaken to restore rights 

over land and forest, there is every possibility that the Panchayati Raj structures would continue to be 

manipulated by local elites. And, with this there remains every single chance of disaffection among the 

rural and tribal populace, which would keep extremism alive. Proper and successful implementation of 

welfare schemes would be able to build a new relation between the government and tribal people.

Chapter XII: Convergence Plan 

Convergence is understood as Optimum use of available resources for common outcome, 

minimise the resource gap and reduce the duplication of activity. In order to align the demand and 

supply situation, it would be obvious that many departments will be interested for convergence 

for a higher output. This will enable them to realise significant benefits and enhance the 

development impact. For this to happen, it is essential that the policy and convergence 

frameworks allow different schemes to function in a collaborative manner rather than competing 

with each other or with a standalone approach. So, an enabling policy environment for 

convergence is highly essential like that of MGNREGA. Some of the areas of convergence 

specifically with reference to MGNREGA and other schemes would be a shift from mere wage 

employment to sustainable rural livelihoods; from unskilled to skilled labour through knowledge 

& technology input, training & capacity building of the job card holder, water-use efficiency in 

the excavated / renovated tanks, backward–forward linkages around the created productive asset 

base like tanks/ponds & other feasible productive infrastructure, land development of small and 

marginal farmers in rain-fed areas etc. Different schemes being implemented by different 

departments having convergence potential with other schemes. Expected areas of convergence 

with other schemes are presented in the matrix.

to non-availability of any such resource dovetailing policy among schemes / programmes / 

Departments. Looking at allocation side, MGNREGA, BRGF and 13 th Finance Commission 

funds are already made available to different schemes / programmes / departments as a part of 

convergence. But the models of convergence for remaining schemes are presented here for 

appropriate action at the policy and implementation level. Convergence Planning Meeting at the 

district level during monthly planning would be of immense help in this regard.


Annexure I: District Planning Process 

A. Introduction: 

Government of Orissa through its Planning and Coordination department has initiated district 

Perspective and Annual planning process for the 12 th plan period in all the 30 districts of the state. 

To facilitate the planning process, different Technical Support Institutions have been identified by 

the department and assigned with the responsibility for facilitating district planning process. In 

this regard, CTRAN Consulting is assigned with the responsibility for facilitating the perspective 

and annual planning process in the district of Sundargarh. 

B. Planning Objectives: 

The overall objective of facilitating the perspective and annual district planning process is to 

strengthen the district planning process involving all the major stakeholders of the district in a 

participatory and bottom-up approach. The specific objectives of the district planning process are; 

1. To re-examine the district vision 2020 in a participatory manner 

2. To strengthen bottom-up planning process in a participatory manner 

3. Strengthening stakeholder participation in the planning process 

4. To facilitate preparation of perspective plan for the 12 th plan period i.e. 2012-17 

5. To facilitate preparation of annual district plan for the period 2012-2013 

C. Approach to District Planning: 

The approach adopted for planning is participatory and holistic in nature where all the 

stakeholders from different sectors contribute to the process through interview, consultation, 

feedback and sharing. At GP level, PRI members are the major planners and the Gram Sabha 

approaved plans were discussed with the PRI members along with plan prioritisation. The plans 

were consolidated at the block and district level. Secondly, plans for Government departments 

were reviewed and alignment with the consolidated GP & PS plans. At the planning unit level, 

mixed approach was adopted taking both government officials and PRI members in to the fold of 

plan preparation. Opinions of all the stakeholders were taken in to the account for preparing the 

district plan. The perspective for the plan period was derived based on the existing situation and 

level of achievement made in the district over a period. The approach remaind to be consultative 

and participatory in nature, where emphasis was laid upon facilitating preparation of a plan which 

is reflective of the people’s requirement and also contribute to the growth prospect of the district. 

D. District Planning Process: 

D1. Preparation of Structured Planning Formats: 

To capture required information related to status and preference of people as well as of different 

executing departments, structured formats were developed with reference to the planning 

guideline of Planning Commission, Government of India and Planning and Coordination 



Department, Government of Odisha. The formats were to map the existing status, future 

perspective, strategy for perspective realisation and key prioritised plans for the plan period by 

plan years. Each sector / area format has five major sections i.e. 

1. Present district situation / status by sector 

2. Present Vs Expected status by the end of 12 th plan period 

3. Key issues of the sector / sub-sector 

4. Planning by identified issues and its phasing by plan period. 

5. Financial requirement by sector / sub-sector to address the issues 

D2. Consultative Meetings: 

To understand the key issues of the district, constraints associated in the way of greater output 

realisation and to capture the need based and prioritised requirements, initially a consultative 

meeting was organised at the district level [involving government officials from different 

departments, NGO representatives, academicians and people’s representatives, PRI members etc.] 

A brief presentation was made before the members on the context of the district planning, key 

information requirements for planning; overall strategy to facilitate the process and discussion on 

the planning formats. Members discussed on the present district situation from different 

development contexts. Various issues of the district were discussed and presented by members 

during the open house session. Their suggestions were taken in to consideration and incorporated 

in the overall design for preparing the district plan. In the similar manner, consultation meetings 

for planning were conducted with all the ULBs, PS and GP level with the involvement of same 

set of people. The priority issues were discussed in detail and plan was prepared taking the 

suggestion of the planning unit members. 

D3. GP, PS and District Planning Process: 

At all the planning unit level, regular and frequent interaction was help with PRI members, Govt. 

officials and local NGOs/CBOs. No Gram Sabha was organised for village or GP planning [as per 

the instruction of the Government to the TSIs] rather the prepared plans at the Gram Sabha level was 

discussed in detail with the PRI members and priority activities for each GP were finalised. Based 

on the inputs of PRIs with active involvement, the GP level plans were finalised. After the 

completion of each GP level plans, it was consolidated at the PS level and additional activities 

suggested by PS / line departments were incorporated. All the block plans were consolidated at 

the district level by differen sectors with additional activities of line departments and ZP. The 

consolidated plan was validated with the DPMU and finalised for discussion at the DPC level. 

Departmental plans were also merged to the overall plan and accordingly resource envelop of the 

district was finalised keeping in mind the expected availability of resources and actual resource 

requirement of the district as per the consolidated plan.
