| |
| 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]].
