A study on socio-political harmony among displaced women of Odisha through R& R Policy

The present study has been carried out in TATA Steel of Kalinga Nagar of Jajpur district of Odisha. In this study attempt has been made to collect the information from displaced women of three villages of Kalinga Nagar. As the study intended to make a cross class study of resettlement and rehabilitation of displaced women, it has been decided to give coverage to the women from pre-displacement and post displacement period. Socio political harmony plays an important role for maintaining cordial relationship with each other in the society. The post displacement scenarios have shown a very distressing picture of socio-political harmony. Collectivism is an essential part of socio-political harmony. The displacement has disturbed the collective involvement of women in village development activities, but by forming the SHGs and by providing training for skill development in post displacement TATA steel has tried to make the displaced women self reliant and they can able to establish their socio-political harmony. Social bonding plays a very important role in strengthening the social relationship. The ultimate aim of the study was to recommend mitigating strategies to combat the issue of displaced women.
