ANALYTICAL NOTE

Jharsuguda District

Physical Features

(i) Location & Size – Jharsuguda District is situated at the north-west portion of the state, Odisha. It
is lying between 21031’N to 22003’N latitudes and 83027’E to 84023’ East Longitudes. It is bounded
by Sundargarh district in the north, Sambalpur district in the east, Bargarh district in the south and
Chhattisgarh state in the west. As per 2011 Census, a population of 5,79,505 ranking at 27, the district
covers an area of 2114 sq km bearing 29th rank in the state.

The MESCO regions of the State i.e. Odisha high lands and Eastern coastal region can be
divided into 3 micro regions based on various physio-geographical factors. Jharsuguda district comes
under the Northern Odisha high lands.

(ii)Physiography–The Northern Odisha high lands cover 9 districts. It is sub divided into 6 sub micro
regions on the basis of geology, soil, topography, climate and natural vegetation. Jharsuguda district
comes under Sambalpur forested hills and Rairakhol - Debagarh plateau. Only 3 villages of Laikera
P.S. come under Rairakhol – Debagarh plateau. The major Sambalpur forested hills region covers
Lakhanpur P.S., Rengali P.S, Brajarajnagar (M), Jharsuguda (M) and Belpahar (M).The average
height of the region is around 300 meters above the main sea level. A few small reserve forests
composed of Sal and ordinary wood are found scattered in the region.

The main railway line from Mumbai to Howrah passes through the northern periphery of the
region. At Jharsuguda junction a branch of this railway line comes out and passes towards south. A
broad-gauge railway line from Jharsuguda to Titilagarh passes through the district.

Lakhanpur is an important place in the district, having a wide valley surrounded by forest clad
hills and closely cultivated plain. The greater portion is an open plain of fertile land drained by Ib
River. The region is benefited of having the famous Hirakud Reservoir constructed across the river,
Mahanadi. The Ib, Bheden and a few other rivers from north join the reservoir.The region is
moderately populated and main occupation of the people is agriculture. Also this region is well
communicated.

(iii) Geology-The geological formation represented in this district can be arranged in the following
order of increasing antiquity i.e. Unclassified gneisses including Singhbhum granites (Archaen),
upper carboniferous, lower Triassic of lower Gondwana system, Gangpur group of middle
proterozoic and small patches of recent alluvium. Jharsuguda district comes under northern Odisha
Highland micro division.

There are irregular deposits of laterites and lateritic iron ore at various altitudes. These
laterites are bauxite bearing. Soil forms are seen of different thicknesses which are derived by
alteration of rocks and their nature depends on the rocks from which they have been derived.

A large variety of minerals and ores occur in this district. These include bauxite, beryl, clay,
Coal, Dolomite, Graphite, Limonite, Iron ore, Galena, Lime stone, Mica and Quartz. Also the district
has abundant quantities of building stones and kankar.

Some portion of the district is composed of Archaean basement rocks which are suitable for
use as building materials. For use of roofing or flooring, the quartz sillimarite schists and black slates
are obtained from Mahanadi bed. Superficial kankar, locally known as Asurahada occurs wide spread
as concretionary matter in the alluvium rocks of different composition. It is used locally for lime
making. The dolerites, epidiorites and other intrusives are used as road metal. Huge deposits of

1
quartzite pebbles and conglomeratic sand stones are used as railway ballasts. Some vein quartz around
Jharsuguda is used as road metals.

Though Jharsuguda district is small in area, it is industrially developed with a number of

industries and mines like coal mines both open cast and underground at Brajarajnagar and Belpahar
area .This district has got a vast potential for industrial growth being rich in minerals like coal,
fireclay, quartz etc.

(iv) Soil –The most usual classification of the soil of the district is based on its composition or level.
The soil, which covers greater portion of the district, is apparently derived from the underlying
metamorphic rocks and the differences in it are mainly due to the elimination and transportation
affected by surface erosion. The finer particles are carried into the low lying areas along drainage
lines giving the soil a clayey texture and leaving the uplands light and sandy.

The sub-order associations of soil are Aqualfs-Aquepts, Ustalfs-Ochrepts and Ustalfs-

Rockouts. These soil associations are generally classified as follows in this district.

(i) Red Forest Soil - It is rich in organic matter, is porous and is suitable for forest growth as well as
for citrus and mango orchards.

(ii) Brown Forest soil – Pulses, millets and scrub jungle grow well in it.

(iii)Sandy Soil – This soil is coarse and contains low organic matter. The soil is best for ground nuts
and pulses. On the bank of the river, the silt deposited on mal lands is suitable for growing paddy and
the lower mal land i.e. pitamal gets excellent drainage growing good varieties of rice.

(iv) Black Cotton Soil - It contains liberal amount of organic matter.

(v) Kharipani –It is the most valuable type of land in the district. The water flowing through the
village carries all manure which is deposited in the village by the people and cattle. Due to undulating
plain of the areas, people built their houses on the highlands, cultivated land slopes away from the
house site allowing drainage directly to their paddy fields.

(vi) Clay loam and Clay Soil -This soil contains various percentages of organic matters from different
types of parent rock. This soil is a mixture of sand, gravel and clay. Being less fertile, the soil helps to
grow light rice and few weeds.

(v) Drainage-The Mahanadi traverses form the northwest of Sambalpur subdivision to the southeast
for a distance of about 122kms. It flows into the Hirakud Reservoir, situated in Jharsuguda district.
Hirakud reservoir covers an area of 774.41sq km when the depth of the storage water stands at 192
meters. The principal tributary of Mahanadi, Ib river forms a border line between the police station of
Brajarajnagar and Jharsuguda and falls into the Hirakud reservoir.

There are some other Nalas like Hitianala, Betcharanala etc, which are utilised for irrigation
purpose.

(vi) Climate–The climate of this district is characterised by a very hot-dry summer and there is a well
distributed rain in the southwest monsoon season. The cold season starts from November and lasts till
end of February. The hot season follows thereafter and continues till 2 ndweek of June. The southwest
monsoon season is from mid of June to the end of September. About 70-80 percent of the annual rain
fall is received during the monsoon, July being the rainiest month of the year.

2
 On an average there are 66.2 rainy days during the year 2020.The normal annual rainfall in
the district is 1362.8mm,but the actual annual rain fall varies year wise i.e. percentage of deviation
being +21.3%, -16.4% and -28.2% for the year 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively.

As per meteorological observation, the temperature begins to rise steadily from about the
beginning of March till May which is usually the hottest month of the year with the mean daily
maximum temperature 45.60c.But in the year 2019,the maximum temperature reached in the month of
April was 45.70 C. A statement showing rainfall, temperature and humidity during 2018 to 2020 is
given below in Table-1 & 2

vii) Flora and Fauna- Varieties of wild animals such as Indian wolf, striped hyena, jackal, fox are
found all over the district. Tigers, panthers are found in forest clad hills but their numbers have
greatly decreased. Deer, chital, spotted dear, Sambar is common in the forest. Other animals i.e.

3
brown flying squirrel, red faced monkey, gray ape or Langur is found in the district. Besides, different
types of birds such as Stork, Peacock, Fowl, Patridge, Parrot, Pigeons etc. are seen in the district. The
domestic animals, which are economically helpful such as Cows, Buffalos, Paultry, Piggery, and
Bullock are plentily found in the district.

Forest occupies an important place in the economy. It yields a variety of product and earn a
good revenue and also influence agriculture.

The forest is of three main types 1) Sal (Shorea Robusta) which is the principal species 2) Dry
mixed forests and 3) The Bamboo forests.

Sal is found in the deeper, damper and better drained soils. The usual associates of sal are
Asan or Sahal, Dhaurabija, kendu, Gambhar, Jamun, Halland or Kurum and mango. In mixed forest,
sal is usually seen less than 70% of the crops. This type of forest is mostly seen where the soil is very
dry and shallow containing quartz. The Dry mixed forest covers a small area,. The common species
found in this type of forest are karla, Anla, Kendu, Char, Mahul, Kuren, Gambhar etc. Bamboos
(Dendrocalamusstricts) are quite common and grows everywhere even in Sal forests and mixed
forests. A perennial vegetative cover is maintained by forest which checks soil erosion, prevents
greater run-off water and helps in raising water level.

The principal forest produce are Timber, Firewood, Bamboo and Kendu Leaf. Availability of
raw materials in the forest makes it possible for installation of forest based industries. The district is
notable for trade of kedu leaf. The orient paper mills at Brajarajnagar is famous as the bamboos are
plentily available. The principal minor forest produce are gum, Mahua Flower, Chirangi, Myrobalan,
Sabai grass and Wax.

viii) Forestry with break up - The total geographical area of the district is 2114 sq km. Only 202.46 sq
km comes under forest area, out of which a very negligible portion is covered under farm forestry. In
view of the existence of Orient Paper Mills at Brajarajnagar a vast tract can be brought under
forestry. Short fall in the supply of forest product is noticed, particularly timber wood and raw
material for industry. Most of these requirements are met from the existing forests and such
persistent dependence on the forest will lead to their depletion and ecological imbalance. Hence
there is an urge to promote farm forestry.

The social forestry department is the nodal agency for propagation of forestry schemes. The
department provides seedlings technical guidance to the farmers and identifies the market for farm
forestry produce. Owing to far reaching developments having taken place in the economic and
political life of the country, the National forest policy was re-oriented in 1952 keeping the
fundamental concepts underlying the existing forest policy intact. It suggested 4 classifications of
forest on a functional basis i.e. Protection of forests (Reserved and protected forests) , National
forests ( to be maintained and managed to meet national needs like defence, communication &
industry etc), village forests ( to meet local needs) and Tree lands (Private owned).

(ix) Tenancy - Since India is an agricultural Country, most people depend on land for their livelihood
and as such there is a close affinity between the land and the people. Even today in spite of
industrial development and various measures of taxation, land revenue has held the pride place
since early British Period.

Land revenue is supposed to bear definite relation with the productive capacity or income
from land. As land revenue is in increasing rate, its proper assessment is dependent on accurate
measurement or survey of land to give actual area under cultivation or in possession of individual
tenants.

Collection of land revenue has been regarded as the most important aspect of revenue
administration in a district. The British Government did not like to collect land revenue directly. They
appointed the host of intermediaries allowing certain commissions and concessions. In this district,
land revenue was collected through collection agents like the Lambardars, Malguzars and Patels etc.

After abolition of intermediary rights in the land in the state, a direct relationship between
the Government and the tenants has been introduced and the Government has assumed full
responsibility for collecting their land revenue directly from tenants.

The Board of revenue has introduced the Tahasil pattern of administration in the year 1961.
The responsibility of collection of land revenue rests on the Tahasildar who is the revenue officer.

The district has been divided into five Tahasils, each under the charge of a Tahasildar who is
assisted by a number of Revenue Inspectors, Amins and other auxiliary staffs. Land revenue is
collected with reference to land patterns.

(x) - Area Under different classification of Land uses - The Ministry of Agriculture has recommended
the maintenance of records of land use pattern under five categories.

These are as follows.

1. Forests.
2. Not available for cultivation.
a) Lands put to non-agricultural uses.
b) Barren and unculturable lands.
3. Other uncultivated lands excluding fallow lands.
a) Permanent pastures and other grazing lands.
b) Lands under miscellaneous tree crops and groves not included in the net area sown.
4. Fallow lands.

5
 a) Fallow lands other than current fallows.
b) Current fallows.
5. Net area sown.

The land use data in village Directory are in accordance with the above mentioned
classification Forest is the same as category 1 above. Irrigated (by source) and unirrigated give break
up of agriculture land which are a combination of categories 4 (a&b) and 5 above. Culturable waste
corresponds to category 3 (a+b+c) above. Area not available for cultivation corresponds to category
2 (a+b) above.
The statement in Table-4 below gives the area under different classification of land uses in
Jharsuguda district.

(xi) Agriculture - Cropping Pattern - Agriculture is the primary occupation in the district. The
principal crops of the district are paddy, pulses (Mung, Biri, Kulthy), Oil seeds (Groundnut, Til,
Mustard, Caster), sugarcane, millets and wheat. Almost 80% of the total population is engaged in
this activity. Paddy is the main crop. During 2020-21 paddy occupied about 60% area of total
cultivated area. Out of 69 thousand hectares of net sown area, paddy was produced in 52,720
hectares with 48.93 thousand MT which shows the yield rate 928 kg per hectare. The district gets
fairly good rainfall during the monsoon. Area covered under irrigation constitutes 14% only of total
cultivable area. Hence most of the cultivable area is rain fed.

The consumption of chemical fertilizer in the district was 10,542 MT at an average of 85kg
per hectare during 2018-19 and 7987MT at an average of 84.30kg/hectare during 2020-2021. A
statement is given in Table 5A in the next page.

Agriculture implements are generally antiquated. Traditional implements still persists,

though improved ones are becoming popular. The cultivators are showing interest in modern
implements now for economy and efficiency. The cultivators were raising single crops till only the
Hirakud canals carried water to their fields. After the completion of Hatia Nala M.I.P and creation of
irrigation potential, the farmers became engaged in multiple cropping. Also high yielding varieties of
short duration and improved agricultural practices have provided opportunities for multiple
cropping.

6
 Usually all fields are ploughed at least once before sowing time prior to rain break in June.
Harvesting finishes by end of December. But the pulses like Biri is grown in Kharif season i.e. May to
August while other pulses are grown in Rabi season i.e. winter. Mung is largely grown in Rabi season.
The district grows sugarcane of high quality on the irrigated land. The seedlings are planted in March
to April and harvested in December to February. Total pulses covered 18.6 thousand hectares,
oilseeds covered 13.46 thousand hectares and vegetable covered 5.87 thousand hectares during
2020-21.

The important vegetables are potato, cabbage, cauliflower, tomato, brinjal, radish, and
lady’s finger. After harvesting of Kharif crops, the land is prepared for its cultivation. Potato is grown
in winter. During 2020-21, vegetable yielding was 12,593 kg/ hectare while sugarcane yielded 86,869
kg/ hectare in the district.

The light sandy soil is most favourable for the growth of fruit trees of which Mahua (Basia
Latifolia) is most important. Fine mango groves are seen in every part of the district. The fruits like
guava, orange, lemon, pineapple etc. are grown well which were covered in 5.24 thousand hectares
during 2021-22 in the district.

The horticulture department provides necessary assistance and guidance, adequate quality
of Fertilizers, Seeds and Pesticides etc. to farmers and also help in marketing.

During the year 2020-21, Kharif and Rabi crops which include Rice, other cereals, pulses,
oilseeds, vegetables, fibre, spices and sugarcane covering the an area of 77.63 thousand hectare and
17.12 thousand hectares respectively are shown in Table 5. A statement showing the yield rate area
& production of above crops for the year 2020-21 is presented in Table 6.

(xii)) Irrigation - Water is an important factor than soil. A ample and well distributed rainfall is a
matter of vital important to cultivators. In most of the years the amount of rainfall is sufficient, the
average being about 58 inch per annum. But it is unevenly distributed causing deficiency in critical
months to crops. Artificial irrigation is an absolute necessity. Before completion of Hirakud Dam, the
tank was the main source of irrigation.

Now-a-days the country has started implementing bold economic reforms in the agricultural
sector. The Orissa Lift Irrigation Corporation (OLIC) hydrologist posted at Sambalpur assesses the
water potential in the district. All the 5 CD blocks have been categorized as white and are suitable
for ground water exploration. The Orissa Agro Industries Corporation (OAIC) also undertakes the
work of digging bore well by private enterprises. Pump sets both electric & diesel is marketed by
OAIC and by some private dealers. Nearly 98 percent villages have been electrified and diesel is also
available for running pump sets.

Under watershed development project for rain fed agriculture, mini watersheds are
identified. Under this scheme, cultivators are motivated to switch over to the cropping pattern by
providing inputs under crop demonstration programme.

The government of Odisha has initiated separate programme for taking up development of
watersheds each covering 1000 hectares for integrated treatment, which include low cost soil
conservation measures and dry land horticulture. The rain fed areas are the ultimate potential for
dry land farming. Recently government has introduced Pani Panchayat as management body to
regulate irrigation facilities.

During the year 2020-21 total irrigation potential created in the district was 16905 hectares
during khariff and 9036 hectares during Rabi. But actual irrigated area for different crops in khariff
and Rabi season covered 12310 hectare and 7740 hectares respectively.

Out of total geographical area 2114 thousand ha, the net area sown during 2020-21 was 69
thousand hectare in Jharsuguda district. Out of this cultivable area, 20.05 thousand hectares was
covered by irrigation from source like rivers, Hirakud Dam project, Nallas like Hatianala, lift irrigation

(xix) Panchayati Raj System - The three tier Panchayati Raj system was introduced in the State with
the enforcement of the Orissa Panchayat Samiti and Zilla Parishad Act, 1959, w.e.f. 26th January
1961 which was further strengthened with the implementation of Orissa Zilla Parishad Act, 1991
w.e.f. 1st November 1993. The major objective of the Panchayati Raj System is to entrust the people
with the management of local affairs and develop their capacity for self-governance. In the three
tier system of Panchayati Raj, the Panchayat Samiti functions as the intermediary between Zilla
Parishad at district level and the Gram Panchayat at village level and each of them functions within
its own jurisdiction for the development of rural areas of the districts for a normal tenure of five
years.
Zilla Parishad, the apex body in the district is constituted of the following members. Each
Panchayat Samiti in the district elects two members to the Zilla Parishad. Elected Members of
Legislative Assembly and Members of Parliament from the district become the members of the Zilla
Parishad. The Chairman of all Panchayat Samities of the district, Chairman of the Municipalities/
NACs and Cooperative banks of the district, the district officers of Health, Education, Public Health,
Agriculture, Forest, Works and Cooperative development become the ex-officio members of Zilla
Parishad. There is reservation of seats for SC and ST members on the basis of proportion of their
population while 1/3rd of the seat is reserved for women members including SC and ST woman. The
members of the Zilla Parishad elect one amongst them as President and another as Vice President.
The Collector of the district acts as the Chief Executive Officer. The Zilla Parishad, besides
formulating policies for the key areas of rural development in the district, monitors and evaluates
the various developmental programmes of the government, which are implemented by the Pnchayat
Samities in their respective areas of the district.

The Panchayat Samities, which act as the inter-mediary between Zilla Parishad and Gram
Panchayats were established throughout the State in accordance with the provisions of the Orissa
Panchayat Samiti Act, 1959 and its jurisdiction is coterminous with the area of the Community

18
Development Block. The Block Development Officer is the Executive head of the Samiti. Other Block
level officers are the official members. The Sarpanch of all Gram Panchayats within the C.D. Block
become non-official members of the Panchyat Samiti. The elected members of the Panchayat Samiti
elect one amongst them as the chairman and another as vice chairman, of whom one must be a
woman. Panchayat Samities are not only responsible for the planning, execution and supervision of
all types of governmental development programmes in their areas but also look after the spread of
primary education, management of trust and endowments, etc., and all other developmental
matters in their respective localities.
The Gram Panchayat at the primary level is constituted of a group of villages, which are
divided into wards. The voters of each ward directly elect Ward members. The voters of all the
wards under the Gram Panchayat elect the Sarpanch of the Panchayat and one Naib Sarpanch is
elected from amongst the ward members to look after the work of the Panchayat.

This primary unit of democratic de-centralisation is the main agency to mobilize the rural
manpower. Functions of the Gram Panchayat include sanitation, supply of drinking water,
maintenance of Ferry Ghats and wells, construction and maintenance of Panchayat roads, cattle
pounds, providing streetlight and implementing different agricultural schemes in the villages under
its jurisdiction.
