Dandakarana project

Main article: Dandakaranya Project

The Dandakaranya Development Authority was created by the union (central) government in 1958 to assist refugees from East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). It constructed the Bhaskel Dam and Pakhanjore reservoir (kherkatta Dam); woodworking centres at Jagdalpur, Boregaon, and Umerkote; and roads and railways in the refugee resettlement areas, including the Balangir-Kozilum railway project. A factory that mainly produces aircraft engines is located at Sunabeda. The National Mineral Development Corporation works iron ore at Bailadila. Important towns are Jagdalpur, Bhawanipatna, and Koraput. The project was known as the Dandakaranya Project.

A large number of refugees who were uprooted from their homeland in East Pakistan settled at 133 Bengali sectors and areas of Bande, Pakhanjore and Kapsi. Pakhanjore is only connected by the bus route from Durg, Raipur, Kanker, Dalli rajra, Jagdalpur, Chandrapur. Privatization has made Pakhanjore more popular among people.[8]
