The study's objective was to
support the socio-economic development program of the
Government of Orissa by helping to analyze and formulate
practical strategies for strengthening an institutional and
regulatory framework with respect to managing the
environmental and social impacts of investments in the
mining and industry sectors. This study, conducted for about
a year, focused on two sets of issues: (i) the need to
create mechanisms to share the concentrated benefits of
mineral-intensive investments across the community, and (ii)
the need to address the externalities of accelerated
mineral-intensive through improved enforcement and
compliance of environmental and mining regulations.
Significant attention was given to the capacity needs of the
Orissa Pollution Control Board (OPCB), as the main agency to
monitor and enforce compliance with environmental
regulations and standards. This analytical work was
undertaken with strong support from the Department of
Environment (DOE), the Orissa Pollution Control Board
(OPCB), Department of Steel and Mines (DoS&M), and the
Department of Industry (DoI).
