Other clearances these proposals declare

Forest land diversion declared: 0
Forest land sought for diversion: None declared
Wildlife board recommendation declared: 0
In or near a protected area: 0
In an eco-sensitive zone: 1

These counts are taken from the application forms of the 3 of 3 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. The forest area is the area stated for forest clearance, with each forest proposal counted once, in the district where its project is primarily sited.

Proposals naming this district: 3
Category A proposals: 2
Families declared displaced: None declared
Families declared affected: None declared

Displacement figures are the proponents’ own declarations. A project sited across several districts declares one figure for the whole project, and that figure is counted once, in the district where the project is primarily sited.

Fifth Schedule status

Not within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

No Presidential Order under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule declares any Scheduled Area in Nagaland, so no part of this district is one and PESA does not apply. A different protection does apply here: Article 371A, which bars an Act of Parliament touching Naga customary law, land and its resources from applying unless the Legislative Assembly so resolves.

What the record shows

Half or more of the people counted here in 2011 were Scheduled Tribe: 95.2%, against 8.55% nationally.
Cultivators and agricultural labourers make up 84% of workers here, against 55% nationally, so at least three in four people who work here do so on the land.
Literacy was 57.0% in 2011 against 72.98% nationally, so notices and documents issued in writing during a consultation may reach fewer people here.
3 clearance proposals name this district, where 95% of people are Scheduled Tribe and 84% of workers depend on the land. 2 of those proposals are Category A, the class the central government appraises.

Each of these observations appears when a fixed rule is met by the figures on this page, so the same figures always give the same sentences. None of them is a view on whether a project should go ahead.
