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: 9
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: 1

These counts are taken from the application forms of the 213 of 213 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 127 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: 213
Category A proposals: 35
Families declared displaced: 484
Families declared affected: 1,074

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

Two Presidential Orders declare the Scheduled Areas in what was Andhra Pradesh in 2011 - The Scheduled Areas (Part A States) Order, 1950 and The Scheduled Areas (Part B States) Order, 1950. The districts they reach - as the first Order's text names them, as the Andhra Pradesh High Court recited them in Gundla Venkateswara Rao (1983), and as the Ministry of Panchayati Raj lists notified Fifth Schedule Areas - do not include this one, so no part of it is a Scheduled Area under them. A later Order could add one; this reference states the position as transcribed and reviewed on 2026-09-25.

OrderThe Scheduled Areas (Part A States) Order, 1950; The Scheduled Areas (Part B States) Order, 1950

What the record shows

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.
Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 484 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: 28,82,469
Households: 7,06,204
Average household size: 4.08; 0.77 below India's 4.85India
Scheduled Tribe share of population: 2.6%; 5.9 points below IndiaIndia

Literacy rate: 67.3%; 5.7 points below IndiaIndia
Sex ratio: 986; 42.9 above 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: 13,20,404
Work participation rate: 45.8%; 6.0 points above IndiaIndia
Workers dependent on land: 59.5%; 5.0 points above IndiaIndia

Agricultural labourers: 41.1%; 11.2 points above IndiaIndia
Marginal workers: 18.2%; 6.5 points below IndiaIndia
Household industry workers: 4.2%; 0.4 points above 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: 27.6%; 18.6 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 whose highest earner makes over ₹5,000 a month: 20.3%; 4.0 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: 39.4%; 12.4 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 with a salaried member: 2.4%; 5.9 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-Q22026-Q4

The timeline counts 150 of the 213 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 63, 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. 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

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

Non-Coal Mining 80.8%
