Question
Odisha has benefitted greatly from the Hirakud project.
Solution
Orissa farmers make it clear that water from the Hirakud dam is for irrigation, not industry ... It irrigates 24,280 hectares (ha), benefiting 60,000 households solely from the dam authorities even though the area is a highly restricted point part of a proposed World Bank loan for the OrissaWater Sector Improvement project.
