Abstract

Orissa has a varied physiography on account of a wide range of physical features and agro-ecological conditions. These determine to a large extent the human geography on the basis of ‘carrying capacity’ of land. The state is usually divided into four agro-climatic zones: Northern Plateau; Central Table Land; Eastern Ghats and the Coastal Plains.

Keywords: rural, environment, south-north
