“MASK DISTRICT OF ODISHA” tells the story of three northern most districts of Odisha such as Mayurbhanj, Sundergarh and Keonjhar, inhabited mostly by tribals in lush green forest, hills and mountain ranges where rich mineral deposits lay hidden. These districts constitute a pocket of prosperity compared to other districts of Odisha, a state which by itself is poor and backward. The study of productive structure and support system of these district that define the living conditions of the people exhibited massive poverty and unprecedented unemployment supported by a small sized modern sector, thus unveiling the mask/cover of so-called prosperity of these districts. There is not much correspondence between the resource endowment and the emerging productive structure, dented by structural rigidities originating from the peculiar socio-economic behaviour of tribal inhabitants and the vast chunk of forest, hills and mountain ranges. These forces called for effective and efficient State intervention possibly by creating a Separate Development Board.

This book provides comprehensive information on enlargement of methodological and empirical choices in a multidisciplinary perspective by breaking down the monopoly of possessing tribal studies in the confinement of conventional disciplinary boundaries. Focusing on anyone of the core themes of history, archaeology or anthropology, the chapters are suggestive of grand theories of tribal interaction over time and space within a frame of composite understanding of human civilization. With distinct cross-disciplinary analytical frames, the chapters maximize reader insights into the emerging trend of perspective shifts in tribal studies, thus mapping multi-dimensional growth of knowledge in the field and providing a road-map of empirical and theoretical understanding of tribal issues in contemporary academics. This book will be useful for researchers and scholars of anthropology, ethnohistory ethnoarchaeology and of allied subjects like sociology, social work, geography who are interested in tribal studies. Finally, the book can also prove useful to policy makers to better understand the historical context of tribal societies for whom new policies are being created and implemented.

This book is the first-ever volume which provides comprehensive information on demographic, health and development at the level of 640 districts in India. Central and state governments, developmental organizations, national and international NGOs and researchers require disaggregated data at the district level for many practical purposes. However, such information is not readily available for use. The editors, with a close-knit group of collaborators, have compiled data from reliable sources for each district of India and present the results in the form of composite indexes. The chapters rank districts within the state and vis-à-vis all districts of India to help readers understand intra-district and inter-district developmental disparities. They present spatial analyses that depict clustering of development. It is a ready reference for planners, researchers and students and provides scientific analyses that depict the clustering of development parameters at the district level. This volume is meant for a wide readership interested in development in India, across population studies, sociology, economics, statistics, to regional development, and from academics, researchers, and planners to policy makers.
