Transformative Odisha @ 2036: Demography and Development
Odisha has undergone a transformational journey in the fields of food production, food security, livelihoods, and disaster management. However, the state is also passing through a phase of rapid demographic transition not only determined by the size of the population and growth rate, but by the composition and distribution of the population accompanied by changes in behaviours and aspirations of the people. The sustained decline in fertility coupled with rapid economic and socio-cultural transition is shaping up a different trajectory for the state.
This changing demographic transition of Odisha will have implications on education, labour force, aging and social security provision, maternal and child health and many other dimensions. This will be all the more important for Odisha, which is set to celebrate 100 years of its formation in 2036.
Objectives
The Odisha Vikash Conclave (OVC) 2023 has been planned to be organised on 7th December 2023 with the following objectives.
- To analyse the challenges faced by Odisha in light of the current demographic transition
- To prepare an action agenda to enhance the well-being and welfare of diverse segments of the population.
- To identify the roles and responsibilities of CSOs/CSRs/Academia and other agents of development in driving positive change and sustainable development in the state.
Some of the critical areas that have been identified for deliberation in the conclave include: Aging population; Migration and Urbanization; School Education; Youth, Skilling and Employment; Health and nutrition; and Social Responsibility (CSR).
Participants
A total of around 400 participants including civil society, corporates, academia and researchers and PRI representatives, besides the invitees from the Government will participate in the event.
Collaboration
We are partnering with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and NITI Aayog (National Institute for Transforming India)Govt. of India.
Way Forward
The conclave will be an agenda setting event leading to the development of a futuristic action plan. The programmatic action plan can guide the implementation of the strategies and initiatives for a transformative Odisha @ 2036.
