Western Orissa Development Council (WODC) is an administrative set-up established by the government of Orissa. This council was particularly established to bring development in the backward western orissa region.[1] This organization is highly criticized by politicians,and members of the civil society as it has failed to live up to the expectations.[2] Many says that formation of the Western Orissa Development Council is an acknowledgement of regional imbalance,[3] and term it as "rehabilitation platform" for the ruling party.[4] The Orissa State Legislative Assembly on Wednesday was adjourned many times as Opposition members created ruckus on the floor of the State Assembly demanding removal of the chairperson of the Western Orissa Development Council (WODC) and its expert members.[5]
