Abstract: The present 15 days evaluation study exclusively addresses the impact of the project 'Jeevika Samriddhi' in Village Srilipali of Jharsudga District, Odisha directed and funded by CSR, Vedanta and implemented by local NGO, SEWA. Specifically it tries to document the responses of exiting 107 households (primary respondents), the CSR team of Vedanta and other active stakeholders (secondary respondents) implementing interview schedules, case study, FGD and voice recording methods. The empirical data evidently indicated that project 'Jeevika Samridhhi' was competent enough to convey some alterations in the agricultural life of the populace and continued intervention towards a successful outcome could deliver better results in the future.
