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: 5
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 379 of 379 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 196 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. 1 proposals declare activity in a coastal regulation zone.

Proposals naming this district: 379
Category A proposals: 144
Families declared displaced: 15
Families declared affected: 15

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

Partly within a Fifth Schedule Scheduled Area

The Order fixes the area by reference to territorial divisions as existing at 31 December 1977. It names only part of this district, so district-level status cannot settle whether a particular site is inside it.

OrderThe Scheduled Areas (States of Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa) Order, 1977 · C.O. 109, notified 1977-12-31

What the record shows

Half or more of the people counted here in 2011 were Scheduled Tribe: 52.9%, against 8.55% nationally.
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.
Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 15 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: 17,05,678

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.

Rural households owning land: 46.4%; 0.3 points above 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-Q12026-Q4

The timeline counts 335 of the 379 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 44, 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. 4 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.
