The PHDMA has been created as an autonomous organisation under the administrative control of the Planning & Convergence Department. It has been constituted under the ‘Fiscal and Administrative Reform Programme’ with a view to monitor and strengthen human development and poverty indicators in Odisha.

In this programme, PHDMA has introduced Odisha Development Fellow (ODeV Fellow), and provides a platform for the students and academics to substantially contribute in impact analysis and documentation of poverty reduction measures, innovative initiatives in securing livelihood and overall economic empowerment of people. The fellows will be partners in scripting the transformation story of Odisha. Sectors like agriculture and allied activities, skill training, livelihood, water harvesting, irrigation, penetration of health facilities are to be taken up for evidence-based analysis, the release further said.

The faculty members and research scholars of the CUO will benefit from the ODeV Fellow of PHDMA and submit study reports on the area of agriculture and allied activities, skill training, livelihood, water harvesting, irrigation, penetration of health facilities. The report of such studies would evaluate the output of the multifarious schemes taken up by the Odisha government. This will contribute largely on the development of the state, it added.
