How Odisha could register faster and equitable development?



                                                         Bikash Choudhury


1. Water conservation and management on a war footing; with the new bill Institutional arrangement would be complete, which in itself a very progressive measure. However, it may need the sponsorship of ‘bureaucracy, technocrats, civil society and public at large in equal measure’ to bring the real and durable changes. It will surely need a mass movement and state Govt. could initiate such a movement with the help of all Political parties. The immediate impact would be in the Agricultural production in Quantity & Quality also.

2. Sanitation & Hygiene plays a very vital role in general public health and therefore need to be addressed with military precision and with a multi prong strategy. This also needs the sponsorship of all stake holders to be successful in a time frame of 3 years. It also will have its impact by improving the GPH by at least 50%.

3. Rural Development can be harnessed faster by deploying qualified economist at the Revenue Block level to plan and execute the economic revival of each block by ‘Micro Managing the Macro Economy’ of the area under a block. This bottom up strategy would bring in an equitable development in a short period of time.

4. Rural Clusters can be created out of MLALAD/MPLAD fund in each block to fast track the growth of villages by using the PPP model and modern management with full participation of local people. This should also unleash the power of people and work as a tremendous demonstration effect in its vicinity. The Economic impact could be very substantial.

5. Sports and Culture could inspire the rural masses; and, therefore, Govt. could deploy experienced sports person and exponents of arts and culture (music & dance) at the block level schools to create an inspiring environment in far flung rural areas and to connect with the mainstream. Govt. could also run programs like “Talent Hunts” in rural areas in PPP mode and make arrangement for their further and faster growth in the State HQ at Bhubaneswar.
