Dan Church Aid (DCA) supported Right to Food Project is implemented in the districts of Balangir, Nuapada, Kalahandi and Subarnapur in the state of Odisha. These districts have become synonymous with poverty and underdevelopment. Although average annual rainfall in this area is higher than in most of the country, drought like situation prevails due to erratic rainfall and undulating topography which results in recurrent crop failure. This situation compels people to migrate to other districts or sometimes other states in search of livelihood. People borrow money from moneylenders on high interest rate. Due to inequitable social structures most people do not have access to arable land. They farm on the un-irrigated slopes and depend purely on the erratic rainfall. Their land holdings are small, with low productivity. Agriculture practices are basic and lack adequate inputs. Appropriate information and technology are required to improve agriculture produce.
