The paper attempts to study the impact of MGNREGA on women empowerment through their participation in Odisha. It will highlight some facts about level of participation of women in MGNREGA in Odisha. Further an attempt has been made to have an analysis of impact of such participation on women empowerment in Nelia village of Tangi-Choudwar block of Cuttack district in Odisha. It has been found out that the level of participation of women in MGNREGA in Odisha has been between 35-40 percent over a period of five years (2008-09 to 2012-13). Further it was found out that overall impact of MGNREGA on women's lives has been quite positive in many ways, whether it is by enhancing their economic independence and self-confidence or by helping them to have greater role in decision making in household. An integrated approach that links equality-based rights to manage productive assets and gender inclusive is the need of the hour for addressing risks arising from MGNREGA fatigue.Keywords

Objectives: Within India, KBK regions in Odisha are considered to be the most backward regions. MGNREGA, by providing guarantee employment to the rural households, empowers the marginalized through decentralized planning and ensures the livelihood security. Hence the present study attempts to analyze the employability performance of MGNREGA in KBK and Non-KBK regions of Odisha.
Method: To analyze the performance of the scheme in KBK region and Non-KBK of Odisha, a comparative analysis has been done over a period of five years from 2013-14 to 2017-18. The study is mostly based on secondary sources. Most of the data were collected from Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. For analysis, data collected has been summarized and portrayed in tables and figures. Beside this, mathematical and statistical techniques such as averages, percentages have also been used in the present study.
Findings: The study found that the performance of MGNREGA in terms of 100 days of wage employment, person-days generated, and Schedule Tribe (ST) and women person-days is better in KBK regions than in Non-KBK regions of Odisha. Further total expenditure, total wages, average cost and average wage rate per day person in KBK district is better than Non-KBK district of Odisha. But these regions are lagging behind their Non-KBK counterparts in case of average days of employment provided per household and job cards issued. Thus, though the difference of MGNREGA performance in terms of rural employment generation in KBK and non-KBK is not substantial, but still MGNREGA can serve an important means for eradicating poverty and enhancing the socio-economic condition of the tribal in these regions.
Application: Effective measures should be taken by the Government machinery for more opportunities for work and better implementation of the scheme so that the poor and marginalized especially in the tribal backward regions can join the main stream of the society.

The present paper attempts to assess and analyse the situation of food security in the context of its accessibility and utilisation among rural households in iron-ore mining region of Odisha, India. A comparative approach with statistical techniques like t-test, Z-test and F-test has been used in the present study. It has been found out that despite of higher average income and expenditure on food, the average calorie intake of households in mining region is significantly lower than the households in non-mining region. Even the proportion of households suffering from calorie deficiency is significantly higher in mining areas than in non-mining areas. The reason behind is the heavy dependence of household on market for consumption of rice. This shows that mining activities do not ensure food security to its rural households and have a significant negative impact on it. Hence, suitable policy measures should be undertaken by the administrative machinery so that mining could not only contribute the economic development of the region but would also ensure food security to the households in the region.Keywords

Mining through the extraction of minerals provides an important structure for the development of countries that are endowed with rich minerals. Odisha occupies a prominent position in the mineral map of India. The state enjoys the distinction of being the principal producer of chromite in India. More than 96% of the resources of chromite are located in Odisha. But mineral extraction cannot be done without unduly interfering and damaging the environment, thereby negatively contributing to the livelihood assets like agricultural land. Hence an attempt has been made in the present study to analyse the impact of chromite mining activities on agriculture in the Jajpur district, the premier chromite-producing region of Odisha. A comparative approach with and without mining has been used in the present study. It is based on a primary survey of 100 households i.e. 50 from mining and 50 from non-mining villages respectively. It has been found that mining has affected farming as a source of livelihood. It is seen that people in mining villages have given up farming and have mostly shifted towards mining-related work. Further, those few people who are doing cultivation are cultivating for their home consumption only and not for selling. The production and productivity of different crops in the region have been affected and are comparatively less than in the non-mining region. This implies that mining activities are also degrading the quality of the soil. Thus, it can be concluded that the extraction of minerals has led to negative spillover effects on agriculture in the region, thereby raising the issue of sustainable development. Therefore it is highly required that some policy measures should be taken by the government and mining companies to address the negative impact of mineral extraction on agriculture in the mining region.Keywords
