To understand the temporal variation of forest based on typology, cover, canopy density etc. and prepare a Eco sensitivity zoning map to identify the sensitive areas in the district. To understand the existing biodiversity of the district and assess the eco sensitivity of the Chilika lake and Turtle Nesting Site To develop an analytical framework for identifying the developable and conservable land in the district in order to maintain the balance between development and nature.

Agriculture
and
Forest
covering
almost 80% of the district. It indicates the district economy is mostly dependent on the primary activity,
getting
its
income
from
Agricultural and Forest produce. Over the decade, it is evident that there is increase in forest land by 2.5%. There is decrease observed in barren land indicating use of land for various
other purpose. The Built-up Area(2011) – 649 sq.km
