Dated by the portal's own appraisal history, converted to India Standard Time; a proposal with no recorded history appears on its register submission date.

Other clearances these proposals declare

Forest land diversion declared: 3
Forest land sought for diversion: Area not stated
Wildlife board recommendation declared: 0
In or near a protected area: 0
In an eco-sensitive zone: 0

These counts are taken from the application forms of the 89 of 89 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 55 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: 89
Category A proposals: 5
Families declared displaced: 106
Families declared affected: 2,349

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 20 February 2003. It names this district as a whole.

OrderThe Scheduled Areas (States of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh) Order, 2003 · C.O. 192, notified 2003-02-20

What the record shows

Half or more of the people counted here in 2011 were Scheduled Tribe: 62.3%, against 8.55% nationally.
Cultivators and agricultural labourers make up 87% of workers here, against 55% nationally, so at least three in four people who work here do so on the land.
Agricultural labourers, who work other people's land for wages, make up 41% of workers here. Compensation for acquired land is paid to those who hold title to it, so it does not reach them. They can still claim the rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR), because its section 3(c) counts a family whose livelihood depends on the land as an affected family, wherever that Act governs how the land is obtained.
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.
89 clearance proposals name this district, where 62% of people are Scheduled Tribe and 87% of workers depend on the land. 5 of those proposals are Category A, the class the central government appraises.
Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 106 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.

What they live on

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.

2023-Q22026-Q3

The timeline counts 69 of the 89 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 20, 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. 3 of them cover periods for which we have read few filing dates so far, and they count only the proposals whose date we have.

What kind of projects these are

The proposals naming this district, grouped by the sector each was filed under.

Non-Coal Mining 94.4%
River Valley and Hydroelectric Projects 3.4%
INFRA-1 2.2%

The four largest sectors are shown by name and the rest are grouped as Other.
