Executive Summary

1. The report on “Basket of Project for various agro-climatic zones of Odisha” is a ready

reckoner for the District and Block Administration to identify the projects to be taken

up under MGNREGS. These projects have been classified based on the ten agro-

climatic zones of Odisha and the New Operational Guidelines issued under MGNREGA

in February 2013.

2. Odisha with a complex profile of rich natural resource and low socio-economic profile

presents a potential territory for implementation of MGNREGS. The State has 85% of

its population living in rural areas, majorly dependent on agriculture and allied

activities for their livelihood and 60% of its rural population living below the poverty

line. In this context, Odisha, owing to its poverty, backwardness, high concentration of

SC, ST & BPL population and abundant Natural Resource base, makes the scope of

MGNREGS High in Odisha.

MGNREGA in Odisha

3. The MGNREGA is being implemented in all 30 districts of the state. It guarantees 100

days of unskilled jobs per rural household and 150 days in Migration prone areas of

Balangir and Nuapada districts. More importantly, the Act aims at eradication of

extreme poverty and making villages self-sustaining through productive assets

creation in line with Natural Resources Management.

4. More than 50 % of cultivated areas are Rain-fed in 60 % of the districts of the state.

Eighteen districts of the state namely Dhenkanal, Gajapati, Nayagarh, Bargarh , Angul,

Kalahandi, Koraput, Keonjhar, Nabarangpur, Sambalpur, Deogarh, Rayagada, Bolangir,

Nuapada, Kandhamal, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh & Mayurbhanj having more than 60 %

Rain-fed area are primarily potential areas for implementation of MGNREGS.

5. Out of the total area, the area designated under Barren/Uncultivable, mostly Govt.

Lands are primarily suitable for MGNREGS, which accounts for about 8.40 lakh

hectares i.e., 6 % of the total Geographical area of the State. Apart from that, areas

indicated under Current Fallow and Cultivable Waste (about 5.5 %) could be taken

under MGNREGS. In addition, works in individual Lands not suitable for Agriculture

may be taken up under MGNREGS.

6. Out of the cultivated area, about 8 lakh ha of un-irrigated high lands situated in 18

districts can be covered under Land Development for growing pulses (Green gram,

Black gram, and Arhar), oilseeds (groundnut, sesame) & seasonal vegetables by

substituting upland paddy. About 20 lakh ha needs treatment for soil and water

conservation following the principles of Integrated Watershed Development.



7. About 74% of the potential created under Irrigation is utilized. In Odisha, overall 36 %

of the gross cultivated area is irrigated against the national average of 45 %. The State

intends to provide irrigation to at least 35% of the cultivated area in each of the 314

Blocks. There is a need of enhancing irrigation facility particularly through water

harvesting structures in interior districts. Efforts need be made for enhancing

utilization of potential already created. Enhancement of water

productivity/conservation should be the focus under MGNREGS in Rain-fed Area.

8. On the basis of homogeneity, continuity and physiographical characteristics, Odisha

has been broadly divided into four major topographical regions: the coastal plain in

the east, the middle mountainous and highlands region in the central part, the central

plateaus and the western rolling uplands in the west. Further, Odisha has been divided

into 10 Agro-Climatic Zones based on the basis of soil structure, humidity, elevation,

topography, vegetation, rainfall and other Agro- Climatic factors. The state can be

broadly divided into two Agro-Climatic zones (ACZ), i.e. Coastal Region and Highland

Region.

9. Agro- Climatic Zones 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 comprising about 80 % of the area of

Odisha are known as Highland regions where as ACZ- 3 & 4 are considered as

Lowland/Coastal regions. As high as 21 Districts fall under Highland region and the

remaining 9 Districts fall under Lowland region. Though Baragarh, Sambalpur &

Sonepur fall in ACZ-9, the potential for MGNREGS is comparatively less in these three

districts due to high irrigation potential. Similarly, districts such as Angul, Dhenkanal

and Jharsuguda have high concentration of industries, which somewhat restricts it to

be potential under MGNREGS.

10. The scope of MGNREGS in Highland region is High to very High as there is huge labour

force having hard working and physically able-bodied persons are available for

creation of various productive assets. Therefore, this huge mass can be utilised for

various labour intensive works in the local area to build productive assets for water

conservation, land management, plantation and horticulture in addition to creation of

community infrastructures under MGNREGS. This in return will enhance livelihood

options for the rural poor and with time gradually reduce rural poverty and arrest

distress migration to a great extent.

11. Both cultivable & uncultivable wastelands are available in potential districts, which is

about 7.5 % of the total geographical area of the state. This wasteland with the help of

land and water conservation measures can be turned into productive assets for

livelihood of the distressed community. Hence efforts are required to initiate Agri-

Horti-Pisiculture practices along with Micro-Watershed projects through massive

labour intensive operations to transform the available huge wasteland into productive

territories. Community based work for water conservation and land development for



making the land suitable for Agriculture and Vegetable Cultivation is the need of the

hour in these types of lands. This will immensely help the burgeoning landless and BPL

families immensely to enhance their livelihood options. In addition to that,

Horticulture development and Plantation of timber and fuel-wood species in land not

suitable for Agriculture can be taken up.

12. Scope of MGNREGS is Moderate in ACZ- 3 & 4 of Lowland region as most of the

Workforce is engaged in Agriculture & Availability of Common Property Resource (CPR)

is less. Hence, there is enough scope for works under Agriculture & Allied Activities to

enhance Productivity and Flood Control through MGNREGS. A part of the low land

(about 10%) can be converted to pond based Integrated Farming System situated in 8

Coastal districts. In coastal districts the untapped ground water potential (82%) can be

exploited through Dug-well under MGNREGA. Recharging groundwater also needs

attention.

13. About 60 % of the districts are potential out of which 33 % districts have very high

potential for implementing MGNREGS in Odisha. As regards to potentiality of Sub-

Divisions & Blocks, 69 % Sub-Divisions are highly potential where as 67 % Blocks are

potential for MGNREGS implementation in the state.

14. There are 10 districts in the state that fall under very high potential category. These

districts are Balangir, Gajapati, Kandhamal, Keonjhar, Koraput, Mayurbhanj,

Nabarangpur, Nuapada, Rayagada and Sundargarh. Similarly, the districts which have

high potential include Angul, Boudh, Deogarh, Dhenkanal, Ganjam, Kalahandi,

Malkangiri and Sambalpur. The remaining 12 districts namely Balasore, Bargarh,

Bhadrak, Cuttack, Jagatsinghpur, Jajpur, Jharsuguda, Kendrapara, Khurda, Nayagarh,

Puri and Sonepur are moderately potential as regards to MGNREGS.

15. Suitable Basket of Projects Proposed for Highland Region on priority basis is as follows.

Water Conservation & Water Harvesting

17. The gap between Potential and Performance of MGNREGS varies from district to

district. However, this gap is high in the districts such as Rayagada, Malkangiri,

Gajapati, Angul, Dhenkanal, Malkangiri, Kalahandi, Sambalpur, Deogarh and

Nabarangpur. Therefore, these ten districts need special attention.

18. There are 10 districts in the state that fall under very high potential category. These

Nabarangpur. Therefore,

these ten potential districts

need special attention to

enhance the off-take as

there is huge scope for

MGNREGS.

Figure 1: Potential of MGNREGS in Odisha



Chapter 1. Introduction & Background

1.1. Background

The State of Odisha is

located between the

parallels of 17.49’N and

22.34’N lat itudes and

meridians of 81.27’E and

87.29’E longitudes. It is

bounded by the Bay of

Bengal on the east; Madhya

Pradesh on the west and

Andhra Pradesh on the

south. It has a coast l ine of

about 450 ki lometres. It

extends over an area of

155,707 square ki lometres

account ing for about 4.87% of the total area of India. Odisha is the eleventh most

populous state in India as per the 2011 Census with about 42 million people contributing 3.47

% to the total population of India. Over the last decade, the state has witnessed a 14 % growth

in its population. Most of this population is concentrated in the rural areas with the urban

population constituting only 17 %. According to the Planning Commission’s Tendulkar

Committee Report- 2009, the poverty headcount ratio of Odisha at 57.2 % is the worst among

all Indian states and way above the national average of 37.2 %. If factors beyond income are

considered, then about 63.2 % of the people in Odisha live below the poverty line. Rural

poverty, at 60.8 %, is also significantly higher than the urban poverty, which is 37.6 %, and the

worst in India. Further, the extent of poverty is not evenly distributed in all the regions and

among all social groups of Odisha. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes of the state

also have a high incidence of poverty as compared to the SCs and STs in the country as a

whole.

The performance of the state in terms of literacy remains a point of concern. Although the

literacy rate of Odisha (73.45 %) is only slightly lower than the national average (74.04 %), the

gap between male and female literacy, at 82 and 64 % respectively, is huge. According to the

Odisha Human Development Report, although public expenditure on education has been

rising in nominal terms, the real increase has been very limited. Administratively, Odisha is

divided into 30 Districts comprising of 58 Sub- Divisions, 314 Blocks and 316 Tehasils. There

are 51,349 Revenue Villages spread over 6,232 Grampanchayats (GP) under 314 Community

Development Blocks in the State.

Out of the total rural poor families in Odisha, 87.36% families are agricultural labour, marginal

and small farmers. Since only 35% of the cultivated area of 6.4 million hectares in the state

has irrigation facilities, Agriculture in Odisha is mainly rain-fed and also the rivers are not

perennial, they receive their runoff mainly from the monsoon rainfall.



1.2. Climate of Odisha

The climate of Odisha, an East Indian state that hugs the coast of the Bay of Bengal is

represented by tropical monsoon weather. Searing hot summers with considerably high

monsoon downpours and cool and pleasant winters mark the Odisha climate.

The climate of Odisha is distinctly related to the geography of Odisha. The weather of Odisha

can be classified under three heads namely, summer, monsoon and winter. The state is also

endowed with relatively short stints of the refreshing spring and the mellow autumn.

The scorching heat of the Odisha summer makes the mercury soars to unbearable heights.

However, Monsoon soon creeps in to offer a welcome break. During monsoon, the

cumulonimbus clouds unfold with driving rains that wash the terrains and unfold a rich blue

sky. By early June, the southwest monsoon announces its arrival in the state and departs by

the middle of October. Rainfall is the main source of water in Odisha that varies from 1200

millimetres to 1700 millimetres across the state. The average rainfall in Odisha is measured as

1482 millimetres. Odisha receives about 78% of rainfall between the months of June and

September. Odisha receives the remaining 22% of the rainfall throughout the year. The rains

also play a pivotal role in agriculture, the principal source of livelihood of the populace of

Odisha.

As regards to implementation of MGNREGS is concerned, Summer season is preferred most for

taking up various projects as Agricultural works ceases during that period. Winter season

comes next on priority due to mild weather condition, which is conducive for earth work. Rainy

Season is least preferred for MGNREGS works as major workforce of the state are engaged in

Agricultural Works during that period. It is also due to the fact that earth work cannot be

measured during the rainy season.

1.3. Topography of Odisha

On the basis of homogeneity, continuity and physiographical characteristics, Odisha has been

broadly divided into four major topographical regions: the coastal plain in the east, the

middle mountainous and highlands region in the central part, the central plateaus and the

western rolling uplands in the west.

1.3.1. The Coastal Plains

Odisha being a coastal state is also subjected to the strong cyclonic gales and winds that hail

from the Bay of Bengal. Consequently, voluminous rains drench the coastal terrains every

year during the peak months of July-August followed by another spell in October-November.

Winters are pleasant and more or less dry, save a little rainfall of about 2.5 cm to 5 cm in the

northern fringes of Odisha. In recent years, the Rainfall in Odisha has been erratic.

The Odisha Coastal Plains are the depositional landforms of recent origin and geologically

belong to the Post-Tertiary Period. The 75 metre contour line delimits their western boundary

and differentiates them from the Middle Mountainous Region. This region stretches from the

West Bengal border, i.e. from the River Subarnarekha in the north to the River Rushikulya in

the south. This region is the combination of several deltas of varied sizes and shapes formed



by the major rivers of Orissa, such as the Subarnarekha, the Budhabalanga, the Baitarani, the

Brahmani, the Mahanadi, and the Rushikulya. Therefore, the coastal plain of Orissa is called

the “Hex deltaic region” or the “Gift of Six Rivers”. It stretches along the coast of the Bay of

Bengal having the maximum width in the Middle Coastal Plain (the Mahanadi Delta), narrow

in the Northern Coastal Plain (Balasore Plain) and narrowest in the Southern Coastal Plain.

The North Coastal Plain comprises the deltas of the Subarnarekha and the Budhabalanga

rivers and bears evidences of marine transgressions. The Middle Coastal Plain comprises the

compound deltas of the Baitarani, Brahmani and Mahanadi rivers and bears evidences of past

back bays and present lakes. The South Coastal Plain comprises the lacustrine plain of Chilika

lake and the smaller delta of the Rushikulya River. Major parts of Agro-Climatic Zones 3 & 4

comprising 10 % of the total area of the state fall under this Topographic Zone.

1.3.2. The Middle Mountainous and Highlands Region

The region covers about three-

fourth of the entire State.

Geologically, it is a part of the

Indian Peninsula which is also a

part of the ancient landmass of the

Gondwanaland. The major rivers of

Orissa with their tributaries have

cut deep and narrow valleys. This

region mostly comprises the hills

and mountains of the Eastern

Ghats which rise abruptly and

steeply in the east and slope gently

to a dissected plateau in the west

running from north-east (Mayurbhanj) to north-west (Malkangiri). This region is well marked

by a number of interfluves or watersheds. The Eastern Ghats is interrupted by a number of

broad and narrow river valleys and flood plains. The average height of this region is about 900

metres above the mean seal level. Agro-Climatic Zones 1, 2 (part), 5, 6 (part), 7 & 10

comprising of about 70 % area of the state fall under this Topographic Zone.

1.3.3. The Central Plateaus

The plateaus are mostly eroded plateaus forming the western slopes of the Eastern Ghats

with elevation varying from 305-610 metres. There are two broad plateaus in Odisha: (i) the

Panposh – Keonjhar –Pallahara plateau comprises the Upper Baitarani catchment basin, and

(ii) the Nabarangpur – Jeypore plateau comprises the Sabari basin. Small parts of Agro-

Climatic Zones 2 and 6 having 5% area of the state fall under this Topographic Zone.

1.3.4. The Western Rolling Uplands

These are lower in elevation than the plateaus having heights varying from 153 metres to 305

meters. This portion covers little less than one-fourth of the geographical area. Major parts of

Agro-Climatic Zones 8 & 9 covering an area of 15 % of the state falls under this Topographic

Region.



1.3.5. The Physiographic Divisions of Odisha

Physiographically, Odisha is of a heterogeneous character. It's geological formations vary

from the oldest rocks of the earth's crust in the stable land mass of the Indian Peninsula to

Deltaic alluvium or littoral deposits and ridges of windblown sand on the Seaboard.

Broadly, the State can be divided in to 4 natural Divisions: (1) Northern Plateau. (2) Eastern

Ghats (3) Central Tract and (4) Coastal Plains. The Northern Plateau is an extension of the

Chhotanagapur Plateau covering Mayurbhanj, Keonjhar and Eastern Sundargarh districts. The

upper reaches of the rivers Subernarekha, Baitarani and Brahmani lie in the area. Its central

portion contains many small hills and forests. The Eastern Ghats form an undulating plateau

that extends over undivided Koraput, parts of Kalahandi, Phulbani and Ganjam districts. The

Central Tract covers the undivided districts of Sambalpur, Bolangir and Dhenkanal and parts

of Kalahandi, Sundergarh and Phulabani districts. The rivers Mahanadi, Brahmani, and

Baitarani and their tributaries flow through the area. The landscape consists of a succession

of plateaus, hills, uplands and valleys. The Coastal Plains cover undivided Balasore, Cuttack

and Puri districts and parts of Ganjam district. This fertile area runs parallel to the coast and

contains the river deltas; it is formed of alluvium and silt.

Further, the territory may be divided into four distinct geographical regions- the Eastern

Plateau, the Central River Basin, the Eastern Hill Region and the Coastal Region Belt. The

state is drained by six important rivers, namely, the Subarnarekha, the Budhabalanga, the

Baitarani, the Brahmani, the Mahanadi and the Rusikulya.

1.4. Major Challenges of the State

Orissa is the tenth largest state in area and eleventh in population in the country, accounting

for 5% of the geographical area and 4% of the population of the country. Cultivators and

Agricultural labourers constitute 65% of the total workforce. Agriculture provides direct or

indirect employment to 65% of the total work force and contributes 26% of the net state

domestic product. Kharif is the main cropping season and rice is the principal crop during

kharif season. Cropping during Rabi season is mainly confined to irrigated areas and areas

with residual moisture. Other important crops produced in the state are Pulses (Arhar, Mung,

Biri, Kulthi), Oil seeds (Groundnut, Til, Mustard and Niger), Fibers (Jute, Mesta, Cotton),

Sugarcane, Vegetables and Spices. Mango, Banana, Coconut & Cashew Nut are the main

Horticultural crops of the state.

The state has a cultivated area of 62 lakh hectares out of which 27 lakh hectares is high land,

19 lakh hectares medium and 16 lakh hectares low land. The paddy area during kharif is

about 42 lakh & during Rabi is about 2.5 lakh hectares. Most of the high and medium lands

are located in 18 rain-fed districts, which are mentioned below. Some of the major

challenges faced by Odisha are as follows.

A. Small & Slow Growing Economy

B. Acute Regional & Social Disparities

1. Southern Orissa: One of the poorest regions



2. High ST & SC population with adverse human development indicators

C. High Incidence of Poverty

1. BPL population (2004-05): 39.9% based on MRP Consumption

D. Need for Improved Infrastructure

1. Quality roads, ports, rail network & irrigation facility

E. Frequent Natural Shocks

1. Recurrent floods, droughts and cyclones

F. Left Wing Extremism in 6 out of 30 Districts of the State

1.5. The Challenges of Diversity in Odisha

As often underestimated challenge in the

analysis of policies in Odisha is that of the

impact of the diversity of the state.

Different parts of Odisha also have varying

agro-climatic conditions. The agrarian

systems also vary quite significantly across

the state. This diversity itself is widely

acknowledged. But the impact it has on an

assessment of the state as a whole has not

always been given its due. Ignoring this

diversity would be particularly dangerous

while implementing the MGNREGS as

several elements identified in the scheme

have been known to vary quite substantially. The proportion of landless labour has been

known to vary significantly across regions of the state. This could have an impact on the size

of the labour force that is in need of the MGNREGS. Again, the divergence in agrarian

systems had led to a varying impact of land reform legislation. Since the beneficiaries of land

reforms are entitled to some special treatment under the MGNREGS, this variation too

cannot be ignored. It may be prudent then not to confine ourselves to averages for the state

as a whole, but to also carry out an analysis of regions.

Keeping the above diversity in mind, Odisha is no doubt a potential State for MGNREGS.

More than three-fourth of the Odisha i.e., about 80 % area covering 18 out of 30 Districts of

the State have all the ingredients in store for effective implantation of MGNREGS. Eight out

of Ten Agro-Climatic Zones of the state are known as Highland Region and hence

considered as potential area for MGNREGS. The remaining 20 % area of the state are

Lowland Region and are less potential for MGNREGS in comparison to Highland Region.

1.6. Overview of MGNREGS

The notion that public works programs can provide a strong social safety net through

redistribution of wealth and generation of meaningful employment has been integral to the

Indian policy-making agenda. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee



Act (MGNREGA) 2005 is currently a major part of this agenda. The Act was enacted at a point

in time when more than a decade of sustained high growth in GDP experienced in the 1980s

and the 1990s was perceived not to have made a sufficient dent in poverty in the rural India.

The Act was notified on 5 September 2005 and was implemented in rural districts in 3

phases. Each state is required to design an employment guarantee scheme based on a set of

national guidelines. Public work programmes or employment generation programmes like

the Maharashtra Employment Guarantee Scheme (MEGS), Food for Work Programme (FWP),

Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) and National Food for Work Programme

(NFFWP) have been used to address the issue of unemployment and generate employment

through the creation of labour- intensive productive assets and have thus provided the

foundation for the MGNREGA.

A common feature of all the schemes mentioned above was that they were formulated and

executed by implementing agencies and their termination was at the will of the executive.

The theoretical rationale behind employing these programmes is fourfold: i) mitigation of

unexpected and seasonal shocks ii) mitigation of idiosyncratic shocks iii) anti- poverty

measures; and iv) provision of public goods and services. The Act mandates enhancing

livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage

employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do

unskilled manual work. The primary objective of the Act is augmenting wage employment for

the poorest of the poor while the secondary objective is to strengthen natural resource

management through works that address causes of chronic poverty, like drought, and thus

encourage sustainable development. (MoRD 2012).The Act is an attempt to provide a legal

guarantee of employment to anyone in rural areas willing to do casual manual labour at

a statutory minimum wage. What makes the MGNREGA distinct from any other public

employment programme is that it is a universal and enforceable legal right concurrent with

some of the provisions.

MGNREGA is an ecological Act. The NREGA is being implemented in all 30 districts of the state.

It guarantees 100 days of unskilled jobs per rural household and 150 days in Migration prone

areas of Balangir and Nuapada districts. More importantly, the Act aims at eradication of

extreme poverty and making villages self-sustaining through productive assets creation in line

with Natural Resources Management.

In view of the above context, Odisha owing to its poverty, backwardness, concentration of

SC/ST population and abundant Natural Resource Base, is no doubt a potential territory for

implementation of MGNREGS in a true spirit. Therefore, the scope of MGNREGS can be

rated as High in Odisha.

Source: Odisha Economic Survey

Out of the total area, the area designated under Barren/Uncultivable, mostly Govt. Lands are primarily suitable for MGNREGS, which accounts for about 6 % of the total Geographical area of the State. Apart from that, areas indicated under Current Fallow and Cultivable Waste (about 5.5 %) may be taken under MGNREGS. In addition, works in individual Lands not suitable for Agriculture may be taken up under MGNREGS.



2.3. Cultivated Land Types

About 15.00 lakh ha calls for massive investment

for making it suitable for intensive cultivation. To

start with about 6 lakh ha can be taken up for

suitable plantation at an approximate cost of Rs.

25, 000/ha.

Out of the cultivated area, about 8 lakh ha of un-

irrigated high lands situated in 18 districts can be covered under Land Development for

growing pulses (Greengram, Blackgram and Arhar), oilseeds (groundnut, sesame) & seasonal

vegetables by substituting upland paddy. A part of the low land (about 10%) can be

converted to pond based Integrated Farming System situated in 8 Coastal districts at an

approximate cost of Rs.50, 000/ha. About 20 lakh ha needs treatment for soil and water

conservation following the principles of Integrated Watershed Development. All these

initiatives can be implemented under MGNREGS based on the New Permissible Works.

It is evident from the above mentioned Table that 74% of the potential created is utilized. In

Odisha, overall 36 % of the gross cultivated area is irrigated against the national average of

45 %. As all of us know, Rice is the major consumer of irrigation water. Irrigation facility can

be extended to another 16.24 lakh ha for which potentiality exists. The cost norm is about

Rs.2 lakhs/ha. The State intends to provide irrigation to at least 35% of the cultivated area in

each of the 314 Blocks. There is a need of enhancing irrigation facility particularly through

water harvesting structures in interior districts. In coastal districts the untapped ground

water potential (82%) can be exploited through Dug-well construction. Recharging

groundwater also needs attention through MGNREGS. Efforts need be made for enhancing

utilization of potential already created. Enhancement of water productivity/conservation

should be the focus under MGNREGS in Rain-fed Area.

It is evident from the above mentioned table that more than 50 % of cultivated areas are

Rain-fed in 60 % of the districts. Eighteen districts of the state namely Dhenkanal, Gajapati,

3 Source: Odisha University of Agriculture& Technology



Nayagarh, Bargarh , Angul, Kalahandi, Koraput, Keonjhar, Nabarangpur, Sambalpur, Deogarh,

Rayagada, Bolangir, Nuapada, Kandhamal, Jharsuguda, Sundargarh & Mayurbhanj having

more than 60 % Rain-fed area are the potential areas for implementation of MGNREGS.

These districts are potential areas for MGNREGS owing to availability of labour force,

availability of community land and undulating terrain for earth work. Though Baragarh &

Sonepur fall in ACZ-9, the potential for MGNREGS is moderate in these two districts due to

high irrigation potential. Similarly, districts such as Angul, Dhenkanal and Jharsuguda have

high concentration of industries, which somewhat restricts it to be potential under

MGNREGS.

2.7. Potential for Watershed Initiatives under MGNREGS

Watershed projects are primarily implemented to improve the socio-economic condition of

poorest farmers and to improve agriculture in regions of Odisha that lack irrigation. As more

than 60 % of Odisha’s lands are rain-fed, scope of Watershed Management is enormous in 18

out of 30 districts of the State. An estimate by Watershed Mission indicates that the state has

about 20,000 Micro Watersheds. As of today, about 7,000 Watersheds have been treated by

Watershed Mission and about 2,500 through other Implementing Agencies. Therefore, there

is ample scope for taking of Watershed Activities under MGNREGS in balance 10,500 Micro

Watersheds. For treating 10,500 left over micro watersheds of 500 Ha. each, Rs. 6,300 crores

will be required at the existing cost norm of Rs.12, 000/ha. About 8.15 lakh hectares of

Wasteland can be brought under MGNREGS for productive use. Similarly about 61,000

hectares of gullied land can be treated under Watershed Management. In addition to that,

7.50 lakh hectares of degraded forest land can be covered under Plantation.



Chapter 3. Introduction to Agro-Climatic Zones & Scope of

MGNREGS

3.1. Agro-Climatic Zones of Odisha

Agro-Ecological Zoning (AEZ) refers to the division of an area of land into smaller units, which

have similar characteristics related to land suitability, potential production and

environmental impact. Alternatively, an Agro-ecological Zone is a land resource mapping

unit, defined in terms of climate, landform and soils, and/or land cover, and having a specific

range of potentials and constraints for land use. India is divided into 15 major Agro Climatic

Regions/Zones. Odisha falls under Agro-Climatic Zone VII. Further, the state of Odisha has

been divided into 10 Agro-Climatic Zones based on the basis of soil structure, humidity,

elevation, topography, vegetation, rainfall and other Agro- Climatic factors.

Out of the 10 ACZs, ACZ -9 encompass maximum area, i.e., 16% of the total area of the

state, followed by ACZ-5, which covers 15 % of the total area. ACZ- 7 covers only 4.50 % of

the area of the state. ACZ – 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 Comprising about 81 % of the Area of the

State are known as Highland regions and are potential for MGNREGS. ACZ- 3 & 4 is mostly

lowland regions and is moderately feasible for MGNREGS.

ACZ – 1,2, 5, 6,7,8, 9 & 10 comprising about 81 % of the area of Odisha

ACZ – 3 & 4 comprising about 19 % of the area of Odisha

Districts labelled in Red are less Feasible in comparison to other districts due to various

factors such as Irrigation facility, Industrial Activity and Left wing Extremism etc.

Scope of MGNREGS is Moderate in Lowland Regions i.e., ACZ- 3 & 4 as most of the

Workforce is engaged in Agriculture & Availability of Common Property Resource (CPR) is

less. Hence, there is enough scope for works under Agriculture & Allied Activities to enhance

Productivity and Flood Control. However, scope of MGNREGS is high in the Highland Region.

3.6. The Opportunity in Highland Area

3.6.1. Huge Labour Force

The potential districts have population having hard working and physically able-bodied

persons are available for creation of various productive assets. This huge labour force is an

asset if they can be involved for creation of physical assets for agriculture, which happens to



be the backbone of source of livelihood for a big chunk of them. Therefore, this huge mass

can be utilised for various labour intensive works in the local area to build productive assets

for water conservation and land management. This in return will yield results and with time

gradually arrest distress migration to a great extent and possibly making it negligible after a

few years when hopes in agricultural livelihood is regained. Various labour intensive works

can be undertaken for creation of farm and non-farm assets in the highland areas.

3.6.2. Massive Waste Land

Both cultivable & uncultivable wastelands are available in potential districts, which is about

7.5 % of the total geographical area of the state. This wasteland with the help of land and

water conservation measures can be turned into productive assets for livelihood of the

distressed community. Hence efforts are required to initiate Agri-Horti-Pisiculture practices

along with micro-watershed projects through massive labour intensive operations to

transform the available huge wasteland into productive territories. Community based work

for water conservation and land development for making the land suitable for Agriculture

and Vegetable Cultivation is the need of the hour in these types of lands. This will immensely

help the burgeoning landless and BPL families immensely to enhance their livelihood options.

In addition to that, Horticulture development and Plantation of timber and fuel-wood species

in land not suitable for Agriculture can be taken up.

3.6.3. Untapped Runoff and Ground Water

Though most part of the Highland Regions is deficit rainfall area in the state, it is still at an

advantageous position with considerable surface runoff from the rivers / streams / nallas and

ground water, which has not been tapped so far. This surface runoff can be tapped with

water conservation measures and is a potential source of irrigation for the rain-fed/ drought

prone districts. Similarly the ground water can be utilized through small irrigation methods to

cover a micro arable area suffering from water scarcity.

3.7. Basket of Projects for Highland & Coastal Regions
