India: Overseas Aid
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if he will assess the effects of his Department's promotion of mineral-based industries in Orissa on the agricultural economy of the state; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The activities supported by DFID in Orissa do not include promotion of mineral-based industries. We are considering providing technical support to help Orissa diversify its industrial base, so that poor people will benefit from jobs and higher incomes. We have supported agricultural development in Orissa, including through the recently-concluded Western Orissa Rural Livelihoods Programme.
