Abstract

Distinct segments of society respond differently to displacement brought on by development, and it also has a different influence on people’s lives. Development initiatives supporting health, education, and income might be seen as participatory if they do not leave most of their people in a poorer situation. However, the bulk of development projects work in the exact opposite way, leaving the majority of project-affected households to fend for themselves with shoddy rehabilitation programmes that are unsuitable, poorly implemented, and poorly planned. Due to rising land demand brought on by trade liberalisation and globalisation, displaced people have been evicted from their homes and forced to give up their possessions and means of subsistence, adding to their misery. The aim of this work is to study the impact of industrial displacement on the people of Odisha.
