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: 3
In or near a protected area: 0
In an eco-sensitive zone: 7

These counts are taken from the application forms of the 69 of 69 proposals naming this district whose forms have been read for these questions. In 26 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: 69
Category A proposals: 3
Families declared displaced: 1,120
Families declared affected: 1,120

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. 1 of the proposals listed below declare displacement and are sited primarily in another district, so their figures are counted in that district’s total.

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

Applicants for projects sited mainly in this district have declared 1,120 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: 19,74,551
Households: 4,87,296
Average household size: 4.05; 0.80 below India's 4.85India
Scheduled Tribe share of population: 1.1%; 7.4 points below IndiaIndia
Scheduled Caste share of population: 7.8%; 8.9 points below IndiaIndia
Children aged 0-6: 8.8%; 4.7 points below IndiaIndia
Literacy rate: 97.2%; 24.2 points above IndiaIndia
Sex ratio: 1,039; 96.6 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: 7,35,735
Work participation rate: 37.3%; 2.5 points below IndiaIndia
Workers dependent on land: 15.4%; 39.2 points below IndiaIndia
Cultivators: 6.8%; 17.8 points below IndiaIndia
Agricultural labourers: 8.6%; 21.4 points below IndiaIndia
Marginal workers: 17.8%; 6.9 points below IndiaIndia
Household industry workers: 2.5%; 1.3 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: not recorded
Rural households whose highest earner makes over ₹5,000 a month: not recorded
Rural households living mainly on manual casual labour: not recorded
Rural households with a salaried member: not recorded

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 59 of the 69 proposals here. The first filing date comes from each proposal's appraisal history, and we have not yet read it for the other 10, 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.
