Dohad, Gujarat

• Half or more of the people counted here in 2011 were Scheduled Tribe: 74.3%, against 8.55% nationally.

• Cultivators and agricultural labourers make up 83% 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 44% 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.

• Literacy was 58.8% in 2011 against 72.98% nationally, so notices and documents issued in writing during a consultation may reach fewer people here.

• Part of this district is a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area. Acquiring land for a project sited in that part needs the Gram Sabha's prior consent under section 41(3) of RFCTLARR, and the district-level record cannot settle whether a particular site lies there.

• 15 clearance proposals name this district, where 74% of people are Scheduled Tribe and 83% of workers depend on the land.

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.
