Summary

• The socio-economic expectations of the villagers in the surrounding have minimalistic needs

as the sources of employment and earning are not significant. The expansion activity will

provide additional employment (round the year) to local people and contribute in the

economic status of the area.

• There are no bathrooms attached in the housing structures in the study area.

• Higher Education facilities for Girls are limited. Girl Child education is low.

• The villagers believe that, for economic growth and sustainable development it is important

to protect the environment and harmonize the business activities with it. Villagers view a

symbiosis between environment and business development.

• Various questions on the adequacy for safety precautions by the plant activity operations

were enquired. The incumbents replied that they were indifferent towards the plant

activity. Majority of the incumbents accepted that the plant activity has never harmed them.
