These counts are taken from the application forms of the 12 of 12 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 4 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.

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

No Presidential Order under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule declares any Scheduled Area in Kerala, so no part of this district is one and PESA does not apply.

OrderMinistry of Tribal Affairs, Scheduled Areas declared under paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution

What the record shows

  • The Scheduled Tribe share here, 18.5%, is at least double the national figure of 8.55%.

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.

How households live

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.

2024-Q12026-Q2

The timeline counts 9 of the 12 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 3, 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.
