Abstract– Odisha faced several natural calamities from which the Na-Anka Durviksha of 1866 was a famine, which occurred in the whole of Odisha for a huge number of reasons, and Puri, being a part of Odisha, was not alleviated from this event. The situation of the society was such that from August 1865, the food grains were not available in the whole district. The main aim of the present paper, which is based on Mortality, Crime, and Migration, is that there was a huge amount of death due to starvation and famine, the shortage of food forced people into different crimes, and many people had to migrate from Puri due to the search for food.
