both of the Crown dumps top will reduce from 85 m (ASL) to 52 m (ASL).The revised conceptual plan and sections are enclosed as Enclosure I & IIrespectively.
Q.3. The Committee also desired that the two quarries be mined insequence to reduce the extent of OB to be stored externally andincrease concurrent backfilling
Ans. An exercise was taken up to find out whether the outside dump (surfacedump) OB quantity requirement can be reduced by dividing the quarriablearea into two quarries and mining them in sequence rather thansimultaneously as adopted in the approved Mining plan. It was found thatthe volume required to be dumped does not reduce in the suggestedalternative. However – in the spirit of the query / suggestion – an exercisewas done to accommodate all the material in the backfill after the end of 4th
year in approved Mining plan alternative and it was found that the said OBcan be accommodated in the crown dumps of 85 m height above surfacelevel (ASL) which was previously kept at 60m and 70 m (ASL) in East andWest backfill crown dumps respectively. Now in the post mine closure stage(end of 28th year) the void will be filled with the 22.4 mm3 (L) and 24.23 mm3
(L) of OB from East and West Crown dumps respectively of the backfilledarea so that the depth of the terminal void reduces to 40 m below surfacelevel. As a result the crown dumps top levels of both the dumps will reduceto 52 m from the 85 m RL (ASL).
Thus, the requirement of land for outside dump get reduced to 32.66 Ha toaccommodate first four years OB (26.31 mcum (B) only. RevisedConceptual Plan & Sections are at Enclosure I & II respectively.
Q.4. The Committee sought a copy of the recent Order issued by Govt. ofOdisha
Ans. Copy of the order issued by Govt. of Odisha is enclosed as Enclosure III
Q.5. The Committee desired that the design of the embankment should begot approved by the State Water Resources Department.

Socio-Economic Survey & Rehabilitation Action Plan
Project Title: “Socio-Economic Survey, Socio-Cultural Property Survey, Resource
Mapping, General Infrastructure Survey of the Project Displaced/Affected Families at
Radhikapur (W) Coal Block in Chhendipada Tehsil of Angul District, Odisha”.
1.1 Introduction
The State of Orissa is endowed with rich mineral resource in terms of deposit and production.
The mineral deposit of the state is not only vast but also equally diverse. Orissa's rich mineral
reserves constitute 28% Iron ore, 24% coal, 59% Bauxite and 98% Chromite of India's total
deposits. Thus, mining is an integral part of the economic activities of Orissa.
It is an established fact that the acquisition of private land for a development project cause social ,
economic, cultural and environmental problems which affect the productive assets and sources of
income, the habitat, families and kinship, community structure, social relations, etc. As a result, it may
lead towards impoverishment risks of families such as, landlessness, joblessness, homelessness,
marginalization, food insecurity, loss of common lands and resources, increased health risks and social
disarticulation (Impoverishment Risks and Reconstruction (IRR) Model by Prof. Michael Cernea, 1996). In
order to mitigate the risks, measures for rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced and affected
families is warranted to maintain the status quo and improve the socio-economic conditions.
As a response to the issue of displacement, the Orissa Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) Policy,
2006 came into operative as a comprehensive policy to provide “people, who are displaced or otherwise
affected by the projects, mean to improve or at least restore their former living standards. Displacement
and project-related hazards are now minimized, both as an ethical responsibility and a cost-effective
strategy for all development programmes. Models for minimising risks, both people-centric and
community-centric, are built-in necessities for policy formulations for such projects. Developing R&R
packages and formulating new methodological tools to restore people’s pre-displaced livelihood have
been much more systematised in recent times. Orissa is one of the first states to have formulated a
progressive R&R policy in 2006 to address the hazards of displacement. The R&R Policy, 2006 and SES
guidelines of Revenue and Disaster Management Department of Govt. of Orissa are the major
instruments to conduct the proposed socio-economic study.
1.2 Rationale of the Study
It has been seen that displacement and resettlement due to infrastructural projects
increase the risks of impoverishing local populations, threatening their livelihoods and
truncating their chances for sustainable development or even survival (Cernea 1999, 2000,
2001; Pandey 1998; Fernandez 1994; Downing 1996 and 2002; Government of India 1993).
Societies that have endured for hundreds, if not thousands, of years can quickly disintegrate
under the pressures of displacement. Avoidance of this outcome demands detailed planning
and allocation of adequate financial and human resources. Integral to any successful
resettlement is the use of skilled development-induced resettlement specialists. Extensive
development knowledge and scientific research show that rehabilitation and restoration
(R&R) of livelihoods is more likely when all potential impoverishment risks are identified early
and arrangements are made to mitigate or avoid them. Informed, timely, widespread and
active participation of the project-affected people is an essential prerequisite of an effective
R&R policy. Involuntary resettlement is a socio-economic, not an engineering issue. The
chances of risk mitigation and restoration are greater when stand-alone financing is provided
for displacement, since this removes the conflict of interest that makes the authorities view
resettlement and rehabilitation as an unnecessary social service rather than a necessary cost.
To ensure an improved living condition for the impacted people, the authorities should take
appropriate steps in consultation with the impacted community, identify the possible
impoverishment risks from a very early stage of the project and take risk mitigation
measures for sustainable R&R.
Radhikapur (W) Coal Project and its initiatives
Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining Private Limited , joint venture enterprise of Rungta Mines Ltd., OCL India
Ltd. and ocean Ispat (Pvt.) Ltd., intends to establish a coal project at Chhendipada of Angul District,
Orissa which requires 1824.894 acres of Private land and 764.712 acres of Govt. Land for acquisition
totaling to 2589.606 acres of land.
Radhikapur (West)Coal Mining Pvt. Ltd. (RWCMPL) initiated the process for carrying out the Socio-
Economic Survey and preparation of Rehabilitation Action plan by identifying DAWN, an independent
agency who has experience in similar studies and empanelled by the Government Orissa
DAWN accepted the letter of award of (RWCMPL) to conduct the Socio-Economic Survey in accordance
with Orissa R&R Policy, 2006 and SES guidelines, Govt. of Orissa, 2008.

Chapter-II
Methodology of the Study
2. Survey Methodology
The broad objective of the present socio-economic survey is to generate the necessary data to form a
baseline and information, so as to prepare an appropriate Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of affected
people. The study involved collection of the socio-economic conditions of the PAFs and their attitude
towards the proposed project. On the basis of such information, a rehabilitation action plan is prepared
for the people whose livelihood systems have been affected. Therefore, a socio-economic survey and
the preparation of an effective Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) is the two direct outcomes of this
report. The socio-economic study will act as a benchmark to monitor the progress of the standard of
living of the affected persons after the implementation of the rehabilitation measures.
2.1 Study Approach
The approach we have undertaken for the Socio Economic Survey is to ensure active participation of the
affected families rather than externally imposed requirement. To perform this task, we have made an
effective communication with the affected families and their leaders regarding the R&R benefits
enshrined in Orissa R&R Policy, 2006. We also spelt out that the study provides an opportunity for the
affected families to ventilate their grievances and choices for a viable Rehabilitation and Resettlement
plan. When they were convinced about the about the objective of the study, it became easier to collect
data and cross verify it.
2.3 Coverage and Scope of the Study:
The SES is limited to the study of affected families of 8 villages of Chhendipada Tahasil of Anugul District.
The work was undertaken as per Orissa R &R Policy, 2006 and guidelines issued by Revenue and Disaster
Management Department, Govt. of Orissa vide Notification. No.18680 dt. 24.04.08.
2.4 Survey Planning:
Before undertaking the survey, the survey team of DAWN and concerned Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining
Pvt. Ltd. personnel jointly planned the time schedule for undertaking the survey in the project area in
Chhendipada Tehsil of Angul district. It was decided to have informed communication between the field
personnel of DAWN and Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining Pvt. Ltd. Personnel based at Angul.
2.5 Survey Design, Tools and Technique
The survey team of DAWN gets acquainted with the Survey methodology, tools and techniques
of data collection.
• Family interview through Household Interview Schedule following the questionnaire of
SES guidelines, 2008, Govt. of Orissa
• Village Infrastructure, Socio-Cultural and Village Resource through village meeting,
Transect Walk, and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)
2.6 Skill and Qualification of the Study Team:
In order to perform the following tasks, Mr.R. K. Parida, Sociologist acted as Team Leader and
provided overall supervision of the Socio-Economic Survey and Mr.Subrat Ku. Indrasingh has co-
ordinated the whole survey. Mr. R.K. Parida had conducted several R&R studies in the State of
Orissa and outside.
1.6.1 Selection of Research Investigators: The Research Investigators are being recruited with
social science background who are proficient in the local language. The team members are
well versed with the local traditions, customs, culture and economic conditions of the PAPs
as some members belong to the local area of undivided Dhenkanal District, presently Angul
and Dhenkanal district and others are selected from the neighbouring district
1.6.2 Training to Research Investigators and Supervisors: The Research Investigators and
Supervisors are trained in the National R&R Policy, LA Act, 1984, Orissa R & R Policy, 2006,
data collection procedure, contents of the questionnaires, Intensive Training were provided
regarding the collection of data, scruninizing, coding, data processing, interpreting and
report writing..
1.6.3 Technical Knowledge: The team had computer professionals and used computerized
format of Ms Excel for data entry and process it for the report. The team possesses the
knowledge how to transfer the coded data from Ms Excel to SPSS for statistical testing.
1.6.4 Procedure of the Socio-Economic Study:
The National R&R Policy, 2007, R&R policy, 2006 of Govt. of Orissa was studied and the
legal requirements under Land Acquisition Act 1894 amended in 1984 for the acquisition of
Private land, Govt. land, Forest land and Gochhar land etc. were analysed. The Land
Encroachment Act (1972) was also studied to understand the terms and conditions to
provide Record of Rights to the landless families.
2.7 Data Collection:
The study primarily involved the collection of both primary and secondary data and other information,
which are both qualitative and quantitative in nature.
The relevant secondary data was also collected and reported include:
• Land Schedule ( data on the area of land acquired) from the office of JR Power Gen Limited
• Records of Rights & Bhulekh
• Voters list
• Census data
• BPL list of the Affected Villages
2.7.1 Field Investigation for Primary data Collection:
To start with, a pilot visit with a tentative broad frame of reference was made to the affected
villages, sitting at common places, grocery shops and tea stalls with an objective of primarily getting
a FEEL of the problem on hand. This involved a few short duration meetings with the leaders and
people of different age group that made opinions there (influencing people)
The study was extensively depended on primary data that are affected by the project. The land
schedule and ROR was the base to find out the affected families. It was found that the land records
were not updated and jointly owned by family members. The primary task before collecting data at
family level, the family genealogy of each Khatiyan and ROR was delineated with each household so
that it became clear to identify the titleholders.
2.7.2 A typical Example of Family Geneology of Gobinda Ch Roul , Village Barapada: Khata No.61 is
presented below.
Thereafter, the households survey was undertaken to collect information at family level
following the SES guidelines of Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Govt. of Orissa,
published on Dated the 24th April, 2008.
2.7.3 Tools of Data Collection:
Quantitative and Qualitative tools were carried out while conducting the socio-economic
survey. For quantitative data, the method of Interview Schedule (Interview scheduled attached
in SES guidelines of Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Govt. of Orissa) having
opened and closed ended questions were followed.
2.7.4 Household Interview Schedule: The data for the socio-economic survey were collected at
the family level on the following aspects.
a) General information about the Affected Household
b) Identification of the Household ,
c) Household composition
d) House particulars
e) Land particulars
f) The cost of cultivation
g) Wage particulars of wage labourers
h) Particulars about business/enterprise

2.7.5 Contacts with key informants in the community and PRI representatives
The survey team apart from the household survey also interacted with the key informants of the
community and PRI representatives to collect data about the community.
In addition, discussion with the community leaders, Anganwadi worker, government officials
concern with R & R, was also part of the study. The important aspect of the study was
participatory appraisal with the involvement of the community to enable them to understand
the process of R & R. Some form of photography were taken to record the existing area for
identification.
2.7.6 The following tools of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methodology were applied for
obtaining qualitative data for the study.
2.7.6.1 Walk over Survey/Transact walk
The transact walk was conducted with the help of some affected persons to get insight on the
field situation related to topography, agricultural crops, and irrigation facilities of the acquired
land.
2.7.6.2 Resource Mapping
A resource mapping of every village was done in order to understand the natural and physical
resources existing in the area. The natural resources such as land, water, forest and physical
resources such as road, electricity, and transport facilities are identified in the walk over
surveys. It helped to identify the infrastructure need of the village for a village resource planning
and development.
2.7.6.3 Focused group discussions
The focused group discussions were conducted in the affected villages. The discussions were
held with groups of about 15-20 respondents by using an unstructured direct approach to
ensure flexibility, open handedness and freedom in expressing ideas and feelings. The objective
was to stimulate and generate new ideas relating to land acquisition, the rehabilitation package
and other development aspects.
2.8 Data Processing Data Scrutiny, Validation, Coding and Entry:
After the completion of data collection, the survey team of DAWN scrutinized and validated each and
every filled-up schedule. All the qualitative and open ended questions in the schedules were coded prior
to the data entry.
2.9 Creation of Computerized Data base
The data related to survey and profiling were computerized for retrieval and management
information to take actions according to the need of the people. It also served as a bench mark for
monitoring the impact of different activities on people’s standard of living and quality of life.
2.10 IT Enabling of Data
The analysis of field data collected through different tools was analyzed using computer software. The
steps used particularly for undertaking the quantitative analysis are presented in the box.
Particularly package like MS Excel was used for data computerization and cleaning; and the SPSS
package was
applied for analysis
and generation of
data tables. Data
outputs for each
variable was
presented in the
report in charts
and tabular forms with frequencies, percentages and averages. Besides, multi-vitiate tables was
generated and presented in the report based on the study requirements. Unlike quantitative analysis,
the qualitative analysis of information was carried out and presented in the form of qualitative data
tables / matrixes.
2.11 Community Development works:
2.11.1 General, Socio-Cultural Infrastructure Survey:
The general, Socio-cultural infrastructure survey of the affected villages was conducted to make
an inventory of public utilities, village common property and natural resources.
2.12 The Initial Hurdle
The survey at Kuskila village was commenced as per the Action Plan but the resistance of the
people delayed the process of data collection. They have the understanding that the socio
economic Survey may pave the way to force them to lose their lands and their native place itself.
It took time to motivate them regarding the objective of the Socio-Economic survey which
provides an opportunity to participate and ventilate their grievances. The communication was
made to different party leaders separately which became effective and the data collection
continued.
CHAPTER III
SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
In order to assess the extent of social impacts, it is necessary to assess the socio-economic
profile of the project area and socio-economic conditions of the affected people. The Socio-
economic is essentially involves the social and cultural impacts of development, and economic
of the term is generally seen as including not only economics, but also demography and
planning, again with input from other fields, as needed.
The demographic profile gives an idea about the social fabric of the affected families on the
basis of their ethnic group, family type, caste, age group, sex and education and other variables,
whereas the economic profile helps in ascertaining their living standard through various
indicators like occupation, income, expenditure pattern, land holdings etc. The survey provides
an understanding of the nature and magnitude of the problems of the Project Affected Families
(PAFs) after the acquisition of land.
3.1 BRIEF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE PROJECT AREA
3.1.1 Demography of the Project area
A total of 08 villages are affected due to proposed Radhikapur (W) Coal mine project. Total human
population of affected villages is 15389 , comes from 3162 households. Of the total population, males
constitute to about 50.7% and females to 49.3% of the total population. Age group 0-6 year accounts for
14.5% of the total population. Scheduled Caste (SC) population is 19.9 % of the total population, while
Scheduled Tribe population is 7.8 % of the total population. It is worthy to mention that in the Village
Putagadia, ST population constitute 65.5% of the total population of the village. Average literacy rate in
the affected villages is 60.3 % with high percentage in male population. Around 46.5 % of the total
population is engaged in the various types of works like cultivation, agricultural, household industries,
small scale business, etc

3.1.2 Economic Condition:
The BPL list is an indicator of the Socio-Economic condition of people which portrays the poverty
situation of the area. It is taken as baseline information before initiation of any development project.
The BPL Survey by the Department of Panchayatraj of Govt. of Orissa indicates that there are 3598 BPL
families in the villages coming under the project area. The village wise list of BPL families alongwith the
concerned Panchayat BPL families are narrated below.

3.2 Socio-Economic Condition of Project Affected Persons
The socio-economic condition of the Project Displaced Families (PDFs)/Project Affected Families
(PAFs) has become imperative to understand the baseline information of the life style and life
chances of the family members as the land acquisition process would suddenly alternate their
land holdings status. It would form help in planning for Rehabilitation and Resettlement process
of the affected families. So, the family profile was studies which narrate the socio-economic
condition and their opinion and choice for rehabilitation measures.
The identification of Project Displaced Families (PDF) and Project Affected Families(PAF) was done as
per the Family Definition as per Orissa R&R Policy, 2006.
• Family” means the person and his or her spouse, minor sons, unmarried daughters, minor
brothers or unmarried sisters, father, mother and other members residing with him or her and
dependent on him or her for his / her livelihoods.
• Note:- Each of the following categories will be treated as a separate family for the purpose of
extending rehabilitation benefits under this policy.
(i) A major son irrespective of his marital status.
(ii) Unmarried daughter / sister more than 30 years of age.
(iii) Physically and mentally challenged person irrespective of age and sex;(duly certified by the
authorized Medical Board). For this purpose, the blind / the deaf/ the orthopedically
handicapped / mentally challenged person suffering from more than 40% permanent disability
will only be considered as separate family.
(iv) Minor orphan, who has lost both his/her parents.
(v) A widow or a woman divorcee.
3.2. Identification of affected families:
Identification of affected families is one of the key outputs expected from the socio-economic survey.
According to the R&R Policy, 2006 of Government of Orissa, the survey is also required to classify
families as ‘Original’ and ‘Separate’ among the affected families identified in the survey.
Table-3.2.1
Number of affected (Original and Separate) Families
Total number of Affected families (Original) identified: 1664
Total number of Affected families (Separated) identified: 3714
Based on the survey results, 1664 families have been identified as ‘Original Affected Family’ and 3714
families as ‘Separate Family’.

Child 0.4
Education is one of the major social development indicators apart from the caste, religion and marital
status of family members. Excluding the 0.4% children who do not go to school (mainly 5yrs or below
children), the survey result shows that 16.7% Affected Family members are completely illiterates who
can neither read nor write anything. Near about 17.9% families members can only able read and write
but they cannot be considered as functionally literates. Adding together the percentage of illiterates and
read &write, near about 34.6% affected family members are educationally backward.
The survey findings also show that 34.9% affected family members have completed education upto UP,
11.1% have completed M.E., 14.7% are upto the level of higher secondary, 2.3% are upto undergraduate
and 1.5% are graduate and above only. 0.4% family members have Technical which is very negligible.
Thus, adequate effort must be made by the project proponent to technically equip the affected family
members so that they get employed and earn better income for restoration of their livelihood.

income from the Agriculture and followed by 6.9% earn major income from labour work in agriculture
and non-agriculture sector, 1.8% each earn from Service and Private job.
Subsistence agriculture, non-farm based wage and agriculture have been pursued by almost all
affected family members to eke out a living for their families.

CHAPTER V
Rehabilitation Action Plan
Introduction
In order to develop the standard of living of the project affected families through the provision of
adequate Compensation & Rehabilitation measures in the project area, Orissa Government has
formulated a comprehensive Rehabilitation and Resettlement policy in 2006. The policy is the up soot of
the past lessons learnt from project specific Resettlement and Rehabilitation policies.
The main objectives of Orissa R & R policy, 2006 are to avoid displacement wherever possible and
minimize it exercising available options, to recognize voices of displaced communities emphasizing the
needs of the indigenous communities and vulnerable sections, to ensure environmental sustainability
through participatory and transparent process, and to help guiding the process of developing
institutional mechanism for implementation, monitoring, conflict resolution and grievance redressal.
The policy also emphasizes to conduct a socio-economic survey for identification of displaced families
and for preparing their socio- economic baseline.
The Orissa R & R policy, 2006 is proposed for the project affected families of the Coal Mine project of
RADHIKAPUR (W) COAL MINING PVT. LTD. at Chhendipada in ANGUL DISTRICT. The plan has been
prepared in accordance with the Orissa R&R Policy, 2006 and SES guidelines for conduct of Socio-
Economic Survey and Socio-Cultural, Resource Mapping and Infrastructural Survey in the Project Area
formulated by Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Government of Orissa (2008).
Consulting both policy and SES guidelines, the best options have been suggested in favour of the villages
and communities
Objectives of R& R Plan:
The primary objective of the R&R Plan is to identify impacts and to plan measures to mitigate various
losses of the Project while the specific objectives are as follows:
· To prepare an action plan for the project affected people for improving or at least retaining the living
standards in the post resettlement period.
· To outline the entitlements for the affected persons for payment of compensation and assistance for
establishing the livelihoods
METHODOLOGY Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan has been emphasized that the project shall play a positive
role in their socio-economic upliftment and also for betterment of quality of life of the Project
Displaced Families and Project Affected Families.
In addition to the rightful compensation, the provisions of Rehabilitation Assistance and activities for
periphery development have been proposed for the project affected families affected through
RADHIKAPUR (W) COAL MINING PVT. LTD. at Chhendipada in Angul District.
The survey was carried out for the Project displaced households and Project Affected Families
of both land Titleholders and Non Titleholders. A detailed Household Interview Schedule,
General Infrastructure Survey, Social and Cultural Infrastructure Survey questionnaire was
prepared for this purpose. The surveys and preparation of the plan included the following
procedure:
– The private land for the acquisition was collected from the project authority to identify the
titleholders,
- Due to the non availability of revenue records of the Non-titleholders (Encroachers), the land
for the acquisition was identified with panchayat members and elderly persons of the
concerned village along with physical verification of non-titleholders’ possession of land on site
– Door to door socio-economic survey of the project-affected families/owner was conducted to
collect the base line data. Data was collected on various parameters of Quality of life, Income
patterns, Land holdings, Amount of land loss due to this project, etc.
– The existing socio-economic profile of the project-affected area has been collected for the
purpose.
– Discussions and Consultations were held with all project affected families/persons of the
Project Area
ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS
The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 amended in 1984 is the core legal instrument for the private land
acquisition by the Government for public purpose. The immovable properties including land, house,
tree, irrigation channel, pipelines etc. falling within affected area will be acquired in accordance with the
provision of section 23 of Land Acquisition Act.
The LAA provides a framework for facilitating land acquisition in India. LAA enables the State
Government to acquire private land for public purposes. LAA ensures that no person is deprived of land
except under LAA and entitles APs to a hearing before acquisition. The main elements of LAA are:
(i) Land identified for the purpose of a project is placed under Section 4 of the LAA. This
constitutes notification. Objections must be made within 50 days to the District
Collector (DC, the highest administrative officer of the concerned District).
(ii) The land is then placed under Section 6 of the LAA. This is a declaration that the
Government intends to acquire the land. The DC is directed to take steps for the
acquisition, and the land is placed under Section 9. Interested parties are then invited to
state their interest in the land and the price. Under Section 11, the DC will make an
award within one year of the date of publication of the declarations. Otherwise, the
acquisition proceedings shall lapse.
(iii) In case of disagreement on the price awarded, within 6 weeks of the award, the parties
(under Section 18) can request the DC to refer the matter to the Courts to make a final
ruling on the amount of compensation.
(iv) Once the land has been placed under Section 4, no further sale or transfer is allowed.
(v) Compensation for land and improvements (such as houses, wells, trees, etc.) is paid in
cash by the project authorities to the State Government, which in turn compensates
landowners.
(vi) The price to be paid for the acquisition of agricultural land is based on sale prices
recorded in the District Registrar's office averaged over the three years preceding
notification under Section 4. The compensation is paid after the area is acquired, with
actual payment by the State taking about two or three years. An additional 30 percent is
added to the award as well as an escalation of 12 percent per year from the date of
notification to the final placement under Section 9. For delayed payments, after
placement under Section 9, an additional 9 percent per annum is paid for the first year
and 15 percent for subsequent years.
Resettlement Policy and Entitlement Matrix
i. R&R POLICY AND ENTITLEMENT FRAMEWORK
The Resettlement and Rehabilitation policy is based on the basic principle that the project
affected persons should improve their living standards in the post resettlement period and
share the benefits of the project. The RAP has been prepared as per the provisions laid down in

The core involuntary resettlement principles for the Program to be followed for the power project (i)
land acquisition, and other involuntary resettlement impacts will be avoided or minimized exploring all
viable alternative designs; (ii) where unavoidable, time-bound resettlement plans (RPs) will be prepared
and PDF/PAFs will be assisted in improving or at least regaining their pre-program standard of living; (iii)
consultation with APs on compensation, disclosure of resettlement information to APs, and participation
of APs in planning and implementing the project will be ensured; (iv) vulnerable groups will be provided
special assistance; (v) payment of compensation to APs including non-titled persons (e.g., informal
dwellers/squatters, and encroachers) for acquired assets at replacement rates; (vi) payment of
compensation and resettlement assistance prior to the contractor taking physical acquisition of the land
and prior to the commencement of any construction activities; (vii) provision of income restoration and
rehabilitation; and (viii) establishment of appropriate grievance redress mechanisms.

J. Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance
i. Consultation: Stakeholders’ consultations have been in progress from the inception stage of
the project and the same will be continued during the entire project cycle, i.e., preparation,
implementation and post implementation. During the preparatory stages, consultations have
been carried out with various concerned government officials and local communities as part of
the social and resettlement study in order to gather their views on the proposed program.
Formal and informal consultative process will be carried out during the project cycle
including, but not limited to: focus group discussions (FGDs), public meetings, community
discussions, and in-depth and key informant interviews; in addition to the censuses and socio-
economic surveys. Consultations will be held with special emphasis on vulnerable groups.
Encouraging public participation in consultations informs the public of the Program and serves
as a venue for the public to express their opinion on priorities which the Program should
address. The PMU will ensure that affected families and other stakeholders are informed and
consulted about the project, its impact, their entitlements and options, and allowed to
participate actively in the development of the project.
The key stakeholders to be consulted during RAP implementation, and program
implementation includes:
(i) all project affected families, including vulnerable households;

organizations;
(v) local NGOs;
(vi) local government and relevant government agency representatives; and
(vii) Program staff, PMU and consultants.
ii. Disclosure: The project RP will be made available at relevant government offices and
project areas. The information will be disseminated to affected families at various stages of the

K. Implementation Schedule, Monitoring and Evaluation
i. Implementation Schedule
All land acquisition, resettlement, and compensation will be completed before the start of civil
works All land required will be provided free of encumbrances to the contractor prior to handing
over of project sites and the start of civil works. The implementation of the Rehabilitation Action
Plan (RAP) will include: (i) identification of cut-off date and notification, (ii) verification of losses and
extent of impacts, (iii) finalization of entitlements and distribution of identity cards, (iv)
consultations with affected families on their needs and priorities, and (v) resettlement, provision of
compensation and assistance, and income restoration for affected families.
L. Monitoring and Evaluation
i. Internal Monitoring
Internal monitoring will be the responsibility of the Project Management Unit (PMU). The PMU
internal monitoring will include: (i) administrative monitoring: daily planning, implementation,
feedback and problem identification, individual AP file maintenance, and progress reports; (ii)
socio-economic monitoring: baseline information for comparing AP’s socio-economic
conditions, evacuation, demolition, salvaging materials, , community relationships, dates for
consultations, and number of appeals placed; and (iii) impact evaluation monitoring: Income
standards restored/improved, and socioeconomic conditions of the affected persons.
Monitoring and evaluation reports documenting progress on resettlement implementation and
RP completion reports will be provided by the PMU for review by the management.
ii. External Monitoring
RWCMPL will engage the services of an independent agency or civil society not associated with
project implementation to undertake external monitoring and evaluation. The external agency, with
previous experience in resettlement activities and familiarity with Government R& R policy, will be
engaged. The external monitor will monitor and verify RP implementation to determine whether
resettlement goals have been achieved, livelihood and living standards have been restored, and
provide recommendations for improvement. The external monitoring will undertake monthly
monitoring and impact evaluation on a sample basis during mid-term and project completion.
Monitoring will also ensure recording AP views on resettlement issues; AP understanding of
entitlement policies, options, and alternatives; site conditions; compensation valuation and
disbursement; grievance redress procedures; and staff competencies. The external monitor will also
evaluate the performance of the PMU related to resettlement issues. The external agency will
report its findings simultaneously to the RWCMPL twice a year. Provisions would be made in the
resettlement budget component for engaging an external monitor. The internal monitoring report
will be submitted quarterly for review where as the external monitoring report will be submitted
half yearly for review.
Recommendations
RWCMPL may develop a communication plan regarding the employment (both direct and
indirect) of the people in the RWCMPL project, plan of technical education for self employment,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement benefits for the Project Displaced Families/Project Affected
Families, awareness about the infrastructure facilities to be provided in the Resettlement
Colony, and guide the villagers to have alternative income generating activities.
The expectation of the affected families on rehabilitation assistance is heavily tilted towards job and
contract work in the Company. This requires lot of discussion, consultation and counseling by the project
authorities to convince the families regarding the benefits of other remunerative economic
rehabilitation options.
Along with the technical training, training on entrepreneurship along with behavioural inputs such as
achievement-motivation should be imparted to enhance self-employment opportunities.
Awareness regarding the utilization of Compensation to all the land losers may be given at the
earliest so that the affected families can use their compensation in productive way and find
their alternate livelihood options with the compensation amount.
The following genuine gender concerns are addressed in the R & R Plan which needs to be implemented
with gender sensitized personnel:
• Health and ICDS facilities for women and children
• Vocational and Income generating activities for women through women self-help groups
• Education and skill based training of girl children
Implementation, Concurrent Monitoring of R&R may be done by RWCMPL with the team of
experts in R&R and Community Development works.

He suggested that a coordinationcommittee should be formed to carryout all the developmental works ofthe area. A thick green belt has to becreated in the locality. Theunderground water should not beused for any industrial purpose. Thewaste water from the coal washeryshould be treated before dischargingto Singhara Jhor. The mined out areashould be re-habilitated. The newR&R Policy, 2011 should be followedby the industry. The mine authorityshould take all precautionarymeasures to control pollution. Thedrinking water should be supplied tothe affected villagers. The solidwaste of the coal washery should beproperly managed.

5. PradeepKumar Sahu,Kosala
He pointed out that the Talcher,Kaniha and Chhendipada areas havealready been affected by the Talchercoal belt. The Singhada Jhor, AunliJhor and Brahmani River have beenaffected by the coal mine activities inthe areas. This will subsequentlyaffect the civilization along the waterbodies. Hence he suggested that amaster plan for all the proposed coalmines should be prepared and theaffected people should be re-habilitated accordingly. He furthersuggested that instead of conductingindividual public hearing for eachproject, one public hearing should beconducted for the entire area as perthe master plan.
