Odisha has been traditionally associated with low Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Human Development Index (HDI) scores compared to most states of India. However, since 2005 there has a significant turnaround in the States' Domestic Product (SDP), due to private sector participation in industrial activity in a massive way and mining activities. The paper makes an analysis of impact of growth on equity and performance of industries and agricultural productivity. Drawing reference to the higher financial devolution to the states by the 14th Finance Commission, the paper brings out how major social inclusion schemes like the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) are getting a short shrift due to sharp reduction in the centre's share to Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS). It underscores the importance of providing quality primary education and health care funded by the government and improving agricultural productivity through increased public investment in irrigation projects. Odisha can realize the full potential of its rich mineral resources by making it a preferred destination for key technology transfer and durable partnership with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and design houses of the world.

Abstract


Odisha has been traditionally associated with low Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Human Development Index (HDI) scores compared to most states of India. However, since 2005 there has a significant turnaround in the States' Domestic Product (SDP), due to private sector participation in industrial activity in a massive way and mining activities. The paper makes an analysis of impact of growth on equity and performance of industries and agricultural productivity. Drawing reference to the higher financial devolution to the states by the 14th Finance Commission, the paper brings out how major social inclusion schemes like the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) are getting a short shrift due to sharp reduction in the centre's share to Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS). It underscores the importance of providing quality primary education and health care funded by the government and improving agricultural productivity through increased public investment in irrigation projects. Odisha can realize the full potential of its rich mineral resources by making it a preferred destination for key technology transfer and durable partnership with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and design houses of the world.
