Preface The Nabakrushna Choudhury Centre for Development Studies (NCDS), in its more than 31 years of existence, has been taking up socio-economic research and has served as a policy think-tank. In recent times, NCDS has played a pivotal role in being part of a unique institutional architecture where Government, Civil Society and Academia have come together by complementing and supplementing each other to take forward the Odisha Millets Mission (OMM), which has won two SKOCH awards for transformational innovation in December 2017. It is not a mere coincidence that the efforts in Odisha and elsewhere have led to Government of India declaring 2018 as the year of millets. NCDS also prepared a document on Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) for National Institution for Tranforming India (NITI Aayog) through Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). It is heartening to note that the Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog considers ZBNF and other similar agroecological approaches as important policy to address the larger crisis in Indian agriculture. In line with its interdisciplinary research focus, the Utkal University has accorded NCDS to be a nodal centre for offering PhD in Development Studies. Some scholars have already registered for their PhD and some others are working on their proposal after completing their coursework. Some of the conferences that NCDS organised in 2017-18 are as follows: the 22nd biennial conference of the Association of Indian Economic and Financial Studies (AIEFS, a constituent of the American Social Science Association with scholars based in North America and Europe working on India as its members) during 31 July-1 August 2017, the 5th annual conference of the Network of Rural and Agrarian Studies (NRAS, a multidisciplinary academic forum) during 27-30 October 2017, the 12th annual conference of the Forum of Global Knowledge Sharing (an interface between Economics, Science and Technology) during 10-12 November 2017, the 31st annual Conference of the Indian Society of Agricultural Marketing during 23-25 November 2017, the silver jubilee annual conference of Odisha Gabesana Chakra during 27-28 January 2018, and the golden jubilee annual conference of Odisha Economic Association during 10-11 February 2018. NCDS has also been forging research collaboration with scholars abroad. Its scholars are part of a team being led by University of Cambridge that has been awarded a Research Council United Kingdom funding to study "Transforming India's Green Revolution by Research and Empowerment for Sustainable Food Policy" (TIGR2ESS), a three year project 2018-21. NCDS has been contributing to academia and policy of which the details are in the report. It is at a critical stage that needs your help and support in her journey.

Centre for Census Studies and Application

Eastern India's first and only census data workstation (named as, Centre for Census Studies and Application) was opened at the Nabakrushna Choudhury Centre for Development Studies (NCDS), Bhubaneswar on 31st May 2014, which will now enable students and researchers from Odisha and its neighboring regions to analyze the extensive census data and derive their own conclusions.

The Centre for Census Studies and Application at the Nabakrushna Choudhury Centre for Development Studies is a collaborative effort by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India and the Nabakrushna Choudhury Centre for Development Studies. While the census organization does publish important summary indicators and tables from the data collected, the massive data at the unit level have huge potential for in-depth analysis of social-economic-demographic conditions of India’s population. In order to allow the use of this valuable data, it was proposed by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner to permit access to researchers to the micro-data at designated centres in a manner that would not reveal the identities of individuals on whom the information is collected. The fifth such centre has been established at the NCDS with a grant from the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner.

The centre is located on the first floor of the NCDS administrative building. This has one server and four terminals for use of researchers. Appropriate software for analysis has also been provided. The 1991, 2001 and 2011 census data have been loaded on the computers. A Steering Committee consisting of members of the NCDS faculty and officers from the Office of the Director, Census Operations, Odisha oversees the functioning of the centre. Dr. Shibalal Meher is now acting as its Coordinator.

AISHE State Unit

Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India initiated an All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) in the year 2011 under a new plan Scheme Higher Education Statistics and Public Information System (HESPIS) across the States to build a robust database and to assess the correct picture of Higher Education in the country.

The main objectives of the survey are to (i) identify and capture all the institutions of higher learning in the country (ii) collect the data from all the higher education institutions on various aspects of higher education. The survey is an ambitious step towards gathering relevant statistics that could guide governments in States and Centres in devising future policies.

The AISHE 2017-18 was launched by Hon’ble Minister HRD at New Delhi on 05.01.2018. The Survey highlighted the overall enrolment in higher education has increased from 27.5 million in 2010-2011 to 35.7 million in 2016-17. During the period of 2016-17 the Gross Enrolment Ratio which is the ratio of enrolment of higher education to population in the eligible age group (18-23) years increased from 25.2 % to 25.8%. In the State of Odisha the GER increased from 21.0% to 22.0%.

There are 25 Universities/Institution of National Importance, 1042 Colleges and 366 Stand Alone Institutions (DTET, SCERT, Nursing, Institutes under Ministries and PGDM Institutes) imparting knowledge in the State covered in the survey. Data are being collected on several parameters such as teachers, student enrolment, programmes, examination results, education finance, infrastructure etc. Indicators of educational development such as Institution Density, Gross Enrolment Ratio, Pupil Teacher Ratio, Gender Parity Index etc. are calculated from the data collected through AISHE. Dr. Rashmi Mishra is acting as the State Nodal officer. She has been awarded as Best State Nodal Officer for outstanding performance and 100% data uploading for AISHE 2017-18.

Summer Internship Programme-2018 The Government of Odisha is rolling out a programme on revival of millets in seven districts of southern Odisha. The culmination of this has been a collaborative endeavour by the government, civil society and academia. One of the major objectives of the programme is to increase household consumption, including development of strategies to improve consumption of millets in both urban and rural areas. In this context, the state secretariat (NCDS & WASSAN) launched a millet internship programme in urban areas as well as in rural areas. The primary objective of this is an outreach activity that will initiate students to get a first-hand experience of working with the civil society and academia. This could be the relevance to public policy.

(Group Photo of the summer internship programme 2018)

This internship programme was carried out jointly by NCDS and Watershed Support Services and Activities Network (WASSAN), Hyderabad in two groups namely Urban-Intens group and Rural-Interns group. A total number of 29 interns from different institutions and universities from both inside and outside of the state have successfully participated in this programme and prepared both individual and group report and presented it. The notable institutions/universities from where scholars have come are TISS Hyderabad; Khalikote Cluster University; Utkal University and Fakir Mohan University. Dr. Biswabas Patra coordinated this programme. Dr. C.R. Das of NCDS and Mr. Dinesh Balam, of WASSAN also helped in this endeavour.
