These counts are taken from the application forms of the 151 of 151 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 53 of those forms at least one question was left blank, and a blank answer is counted as unknown. 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: 151
Category A proposals: 3
Families declared displaced: 942
Families declared affected: 942

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. 1 of the proposals listed below declare displacement and are sited primarily in another district, so their figures are counted in that district’s total.

Fifth Schedule status

Within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

The Order fixes the area by reference to territorial divisions as existing at 11 April 2007. It names this district as a whole.

OrderThe Scheduled Areas (State of Jharkhand) Order, 2007 · C.O. 229, notified 2007-04-11

What the record shows

The Scheduled Tribe share here, 35.8%, is at least double the national figure of 8.55%.
This district is a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area. Under section 41(3) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR), land here can be acquired only with the prior consent of the Gram Sabha, and the requirement holds even when an acquisition is urgent.
Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 942 families to be displaced. The figure comes from their applications, and we have not verified it.

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.

How households live

Land, income and work among rural households, from the Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011, which recorded these where the population census did not. Only the survey's rural part is used here, so urban households do not appear.

When these were filed

Each proposal is dated by the first step in its appraisal history, the dated record of steps the portal keeps for it.

2024-Q12026-Q4

The timeline counts 94 of the 151 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 57, so they are left out. Most of them are older proposals, so the early part of the timeline undercounts what was filed then. The register itself records a date for each of them; the gap is in our copy of the histories.

Hatched columns undercount, so they cannot be compared with solid ones. 2026-Q4 was still running when the register was read, so its column counts only the filings made up to that date.
