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: 1
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 72 of 72 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 19 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: 72
Category A proposals: 1
Families declared displaced: 1,084
Families declared affected: 1,285

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

The Presidential Order for Madhya Pradesh declares which areas in the State are Scheduled Areas. It does not name this district, in whole or in part, so no part of it is a Scheduled Area under that Order. A later Order could add one; this reference states the position as transcribed and reviewed on 2026-08-21.

OrderThe Scheduled Areas (States of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh) Order, 2003

What the record shows

Cultivators and agricultural labourers make up 76% of workers here, against 55% nationally, so at least three in four people who work here do so on the land.
Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 1,084 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.

Who lives there

Figures from Census 2011, each compared with the all-India value computed on the same definition.

Total population: 8,45,071
Households: 1,72,680
Average household size: 4.89; level with IndiaIndia
Scheduled Tribe share of population: 9.7%; 1.2 points above IndiaIndia
Scheduled Caste share of population: 20.8%; 4.2 points above IndiaIndia
Children aged 0-6: 16.4%; 2.8 points above IndiaIndia
Literacy rate: 66.4%; 6.6 points below IndiaIndia
Sex ratio: 904; 38.6 below India's 942.6India

What they live on

How the district's workers earn a living, from Census 2011. The land-dependent share counts cultivators and agricultural labourers as a share of all workers, and it is the group most directly affected when land is acquired.

Total workers: 3,15,270
Work participation rate: 37.3%; 2.5 points below IndiaIndia
Workers dependent on land: 75.9%; 21.3 points above IndiaIndia
Cultivators: 37.1%; 12.5 points above IndiaIndia
Agricultural labourers: 38.8%; 8.9 points above IndiaIndia
Marginal workers: 23.5%; 1.3 points below IndiaIndia
Household industry workers: 3.4%; 0.5 points below IndiaIndia

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.

Rural households owning land: 50.2%; 4.1 points above IndiaIndia
The India figure is computed from 614 of 640 districts, because the source table has no value for the others.
Rural households whose highest earner makes over ₹5,000 a month: 14.6%; 9.8 points below IndiaIndia
The India figure is computed from 614 of 640 districts, because the source table has no value for the others.
Rural households living mainly on manual casual labour: 52.9%; 1.1 points above IndiaIndia
The India figure is computed from 614 of 640 districts, because the source table has no value for the others.
Rural households with a salaried member: 3.6%; 4.7 points below IndiaIndia
The India figure is computed from 614 of 640 districts, because the source table has no value for the others.

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-Q42026-Q4

The timeline counts 34 of the 72 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 38, 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. 2 of them cover periods for which we have read few filing dates so far, and they count only the proposals whose date we have. 2026-Q4 was still running when the register was read, so its column counts only the filings made up to that date.

What kind of projects these are
