Sukapaika River is a river that branches out from the Mahanadi River in the Indian state of Odisha.[1] It diverges from the Mahanadi in Ayatpur village, Cuttack district and flows through multiple villages before joining the main river downstream.[2] Sukapaika played an important role in irrigation and agriculture for the region in the past.[3] Over the years, the river has dried up, causing harm to both local ecosystems and livelihoods.[3]
