Evolution and Efficacy of Drought Management Policies and Programmes: The Case of Western Odisha, India
Abstract
The paper analyses the major role played by the institutional support system such as government safety nets, non-governmental and community based insurance mechanism in strengthening the coping capacity of rural households facing recurrent drought in Bolangir district of western Odisha. The gradual refinement of drought management policies and the role played by centre-state relationship and power equations in implementation of programmes for effective drought management have been critically examined. In addition to analysis of secondary data and literature, the primary survey data on 139 households have been analyzed to assess the role of institutional support system in building up their resilience. The institutional support system was found to be weak to withstand drought in effective manner in the study region. A gradual improvement to the drought management policies was observed and every major drought resulted in some qualitative improvement to the relief approach. However, the implementation of the development schemes was affected by the power politics.
