The Economy of Odisha: A Profile presents a comprehensive account of different sectors (for example, agriculture, industries, mining, transportation and power, education, and health) of the economy of Odisha and also several specific problems (for example, poverty and malnutrition) which continue to beset the state despite its recent progress. The book also provides a discussion of the recent growth experience of Odisha and the impact of fiscal adjustments, as well as a critique of the strategy of development that has been pursued in the state in recent years. The purpose of the volume is to provide detailed factual information about the state’s economy as well as to provide insight into its various economic problems. The book consists of 17 chapters and involves 26 authors. Though the authors are all academic researchers and the volume is expected to be useful for academics and graduate students working on specific issues relating to Odisha’s economy, the book is not intended exclusively for academic use. It is also intended to be useful for administrators, policy makers, and general readers with serious interest in the economy of Odisha.
