ABOUT WORLP

          The Western Orissa Rural Livelihoods Project (WORLP) is being implemented by Orissa Watershed Development Mission (OWDM), Government of Orissa (GoO) and funded by DFID (Department for International Development, UK Government). OWDM of GoO is the state nodal agency for the implementation of the project as per watershed guidelines of Government of India (GoI). The Project aims to improve livelihoods, building capacities of primary and secondary stakeholders and encouraging an enabling environment of rural poor in 290 watersheds located in 4 districts, Viz., Bolangir, Bargarh, Kalahandi & Nuapada of Western Orissa. WORLP aims at assisting people to improve their livelihoods on a sustainable basis by best use of available resources. It adopts a livelihoods approach, focusing clearly on the priorities of the poorest of the poor, in sustainable and replicable ways. The approach starts from people’s own lives and their everyday struggle for survival. It is about informing, enabling, initiating and empowering appropriate choices for long-term well being. It involves all sections of society across caste, class, gender and other divides. It understands that sustainable rural livelihoods must start with local strength and build upon locally available resources and capabilities. It takes a holistic view of the assets and resources on which rural people base their livelihoods. It empowers them to prioritize activities and access government services. DFID assisted Western Orissa Rural Livelihoods Project (WORLP) has been extended to Bargarh District from the year 2005-06. 40 watersheds, 10 in each block of Padampur, Sohela, Gaisilet and Jharbandh have been taken up in a phased manner.

In Dec 2007, the WORLP Plus activities were extended to other 50 watershed of 6 DPAP and one IWDP blocks which are called as WORLP-II Projects.

ABOUT THE PROJECT AREA- BARGARH DISTRICT

     The Bargarh district lies between 20° 43’ to 21° 41’ North latitude and 82° 39’ to 83° 58’ East longitude. It is one of the western districts of the State of Orissa and came in-to existence as a district from 1st April 1993. Bargarh District has two distinctly different kinds of scenario in the field of economic development. The area under the Command Area of Hirakud Dam Project has a fairly developed agricultural sector, which contributes for the development of other sectors also. The rainfed area of Padampur Sub-Division and Bhatli & Ambabhona Blocks of Bargarh Sub-Division are backward with traditional agriculture and lack of development of other sectors as well. The main river that flows through the district is Ong (Ang) which originates from Nuapada district and enters Rajborasambar (Padampur) at its extreme south-west corner. It flows through in a wide-semi-circular path from west to east and leaves the district a few miles to the east of Gaisilat eventually joining the Mahanadi in the Subarnapur district. Total Population of the district is about 1.3 million, out of that 0.68 millions are male and 0.66 millions are female.
