1. Terrorism in Odisa by Ahalya Kaibarta

2. Introduction Terrorism means the use violence and Faire to achieve Political and social goal . Odisha has faced terrorism from Maoist (Naxalite) groups in tribal and forest areas. These groups use violence against the government and stop development. Recently, the situation has improved due to police action and development work. However, some areas still face threats, and efforts to stop terrorism continue.

3. Causes of in Odisha Terrorism in Odisha is mainly caused by poverty, lack of education, unemployment, and poor development in tribal areas. Maoist groups take advantage of these problems. They convince local people to join them by promising justice and fighting against the government, which they believe has ignored their rights and needs.
For example, in areas like Malkangiri and Koraput, Maoists recruit villagers by promising justice and protection against land loss or government neglect.

4. EffEcts Of terrorism Terrorism in Odisha affects people’s safety and slows down development. Roads, schools, and hospitals are often delayed or damaged. Fear stops tourists and businesses from coming. People in affected villages live in stress and poverty. For example, malakangiri district in areas, Maoists have destroyed government buildings in Chitrakoot village and stopped road work, keeping villages cut off and underdeveloped. This affects daily life and progress badly.

5. Government Steps Control in terrorism The government is taking strong steps to control terrorism in Odisha. Police and CRPF are doing regular anti-Maoist operations. Development projects like roads, schools, and mobile towers are being built in affected areas. For example, in Kandhamal district, security camps were set up and roads improved to stop Maoist movement and help local people.

6. Recent situation and challenges Despite major progress, Odisha still faces problems like few leftover insurgent groups moving into border areas from neighboring states, difficult access to remote forest terrain, and gaps in police resources. For example, there is fear of infiltration from Chhattisgarh into Odisha’s districts.

7. Role of Social Workers Social workers play an important role in fighting terrorism by helping people in poor and affected areas. They spread awareness, support education, create job opportunities, and build trust between villagers and the government. For example, in Maoist-hit areas like Koraput, social workers guide youth away from violence and help them join skill training or government welfare programs.

8. Conclusions Terrorism in Odisha is reducing but not completely gone. The government, police, and social workers are working together to stop it. Development, education, and jobs are key to peace. With continued efforts, affected areas like Malkangiri and Koraput can become safe. Ending terrorism needs both strong action and support for local people.
