• Emphasis will be given on integrated pest management and Organic farming. • For post harvest management, preservation activities of fruits and vegetables will be taken care of. • Promotion of private entrepreneur for sale of Horticultural inputs, garden tools and implements etc. • Use of vermi compost and bio-fertilizer with aim for organic farming will be encouraged. Programme Activities: The various activities chosen under Horticulture are 1. Production and productivity improvement 2. Vegetable seed production.. 3. Area expansion of fruit crops like Mango, Banana. 4. Development of private nursery and construction of Market yard. 5. Demonstration of root and tuber crops. 6. Organization of training. 7. Rubber Plantation in tribal area (Rubber Board). 8. Plasticulture like drip, sprinkler and micro irrigation in Horticulture crops. The funding for the above activities is being sourced through the National Horticulture Mission. 3.5 SOIL CONSERVATION It is being said that every inch of soil is either present resource or future resource. Huge quantities of most valuable soils are being eroded making the land unproductive and sterile day by day due to biotic pressure, ignorance and unscientific farming. To overcome these lapses, holistic approach on soil and water conservation is highly essential for sustainable production. The district has 11,000 hectors of culturable waste land, 5,000 hectors of current fellow and 8000 hectors of other fellow. The watershed development programe under NWDPRA was being implemented in 14 micro watershed areas covering treatable area of 8.072 hectors. So far 406 number of Water Harvesting structures/ Diversion Weirs have been constructed of which 252 are functioning and 154 are defunct. The department has also had also undertaken the shelterbelt plantation along the sea baech of Bay Of Bengal over 18.5 km starting from Golabandh to Rameyapatana within the range of 1km width from the tide formation zone. The aim of the plantation was to stabilize the nacked coastal sand dunes by reducing drifting of sand grains and also to minimize the evil effects of cyclone. 42

It is proposed to construct W.H.S, farm ponds, percolation tanks and improvement of W.H.S, Diversion weir and Cross bunds in the non-irrigated rain-fed patches under BRGF scheme which will solve the following problems. • Provide life saving irrigation to the nearby crop field • Check the soil erosive velocity of water and erosion of soil • Recharge the ground water and thus improve the ground water level • Generate employment opportunity These projects would be implemented in identified watershed area. The user groups would be formed and their involvement in operation of the scheme would be ensured so that the projects after their completion would be handed over to them for their future proper maintenance. The Soil conservation department is actively involved in taking up soil and water conservation projects in watershed approach. The funds are being sourced from the Orissa Watershed Mission. Under NREGA, priority has been given to create water harvesting structures and farm ponds on a large scale. 3.6 INDUSTRIES The District Industries Centre, Ganjam has come into existence in the year 1978. Prior to that, there were only 2 (two) medium ,& large-scale industries and 620 number of SSI units. After establishment of D.I.C various support and services are being provided to prospective entrepreneurs for establishment of small scale/village and cottage industries in the district. Further, the industrial policy resolutions such as of 1980, 1986, 1992 and 1996 declared by the state government has provided various incentives to SSI for their sustained growth. Till date there are 8580 number of SSI units have been established in the district providing employment to 36227 persons in the district. In Ganjam district there are 3 (three) no. of industrial estates located at Berhampur, Bhanjnagar and Chatrapur. Developed plots and sheds along with other infrastructural facilities like Road, Drainage, water supply, electricity are being provided by IDCO in those areas. The project of Autonagar Complex was also conceived during the year 1987 with the over all objective of shifting of existing Automobile units from Aska Road, reducing congestion inside Berhampur City and creating huge employment potential in Automobile sector by establishing Repairing/ Servicing centres, Engineering work shops, Spare parts shops etc/. 43
