Niyamgiri–Sijimali–Lanjigarh: Development, Resources & the MMDR Debate Odisha’s mineral-rich regions are once again at the centre of a larger debate over development, natural resources, tribal rights and the MMDR Act. Recently, Sidharth Routray visited Niyamgiri, Sijimali and the Lanjigarh area to understand the ground reality of development in regions blessed with enormous natural resources. What has changed on the ground? Who has benefited from the resource wealth? And what does development actually mean for the people living in these mineral-rich areas? At a time when the MMDR debate has intensified in Odisha, Odisha Patrika Editor Chidananda Jena speaks with Sidharth Routray about the realities of development, mining, local communities, natural resources and Odisha’s larger interests. Is Odisha getting the right share from its natural resources? Can mining and development go hand in hand with tribal rights and environmental protection? And what does the ongoing MMDR debate mean for Odisha? Watch this detailed conversation from the ground perspective. #Odisha #Niyamgiri #Sijimali #Lanjigarh #MMDR #Mining #Development #TribalRights #NaturalResources #OdishaPatrika #SidharthRoutray #ChidanandaJena
