Description
Odisha recorded an average growth rate of 7.7% between the years of 2005 and 2011, according to its last Economic Survey report. But much of this has been jobless growth, with employment in the organized sector falling in this period from 745,000 to 722,000 jobs. According to informal estimates, over one million migrants from the state work outside Odisha, travelling along well-developed networks which follow community and village lines, and end in specific destinations: those from coastal districts, such as chief minister Patnaik’s home constituency in Ganjam, head to Surat to work in the Gujarat city’s diamond-cutting houses, power looms and other factories. Lack of labour intensive projects has led to continued migration. Investments in power, steel and ports has led to only 108,654 jobs or 1.2 jobs for every crore of investment.
