    Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy of Coal India Ltd. 2012

    Preamble:

    ·    Coal reserve location and quality influence mine selection.

    ·    Opencast mining is efficient but requires large land areas.

    ·    Population growth, especially in eastern India, makes land acquisition difficult.

    ·    Policy updates align with amendments to the Land Acquisition Act.

    Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R) Package:

    ·    Provides compensation for house sites, houses, trees, cow sheds, and shifting costs.

    ·    Employment opportunities are offered to displaced individuals.

    ·    Rehabilitation includes housing, roads, schools, and water facilities.

    Challenges & Future Considerations:

    ·    Growing demand for better compensation and R&R packages from affected persons.

    ·    Agitations and resistance from displaced landowners can obstruct mining operations.

    ·    Companies historically acquired land by offering jobs, creating an unskilled labor surplus.

    ·    Future strategies must focus on alternative compensation methods and essential community infrastructure (e.g., schools, hospitals).

    ·    Effective resettlement requires local cooperation to maintain social harmony and project viability.

    Purpose

    ·    Revises and provides flexibility in resettlement & rehabilitation (R&R) for project-affected people (PAPs).

    ·    Aims to unify different R&R practices followed by subsidiaries.

    ·    Aligns with National R&R Policy 2007 and Land Acquisition, R&R Bill 2011.

    Key Principles

    ·    Compensation & Relations: Ensures fair compensation while maintaining good relations with land-losers and affected communities.

    ·    Early RAPs: Subsidiaries must prepare detailed Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) to clearly outline entitlements.

    ·    Avoiding Unjustified Claims: Focus on preventing unjustified claims, redundant manpower, and high wage bills.

    ·    Annuity Concept: Introduces annuity as compensation to reduce reliance on CIL for jobs.

    Policy Background

    ·    Based on deliberations of the Ministry of Coal (O.M. 49019/2011-PRIW-I, dated 01-07-2011).

    ·    Approved by CIL Board in its 279th meeting (12-13 March 2012).

    Objectives

    A. Revise CIL’s R&R Policy 2008 to be more PAP-friendly, incorporating relevant provisions of the Land Acquisition, R&R Bill 2011.
    B. Minimize local population disturbance by prioritizing rehabilitation before project execution and exploring alternative sites.
    C. Ensure a fair and transparent process for land acquisition, protecting landowners’ and affected people's interests.
    D. Provide just and fair compensation for families whose land is acquired, ensuring their welfare.

    E. Development-Oriented Acquisition

    ·    Ensure affected persons become partners in development.

    ·    Improve post-acquisition social and economic status.

    F. Restoration of Living Standards

    ·    Subsidiaries to help affected people regain/former living standards.

    ·    Minimize the transition period.

    ·    Continue support until all rehabilitation actions are complete.

    G. Involuntary Resettlement as Development

    ·    Provide adequate resources and benefits to affected people.

    ·    Align efforts with government rural development schemes.

    H. Collaboration with NGOs

    ·    Work with reputed, legally recognized NGOs.

    ·    Ensure NGOs have the confidence of affected people.

    I. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

    ·    Strengthen CSR activities in and around affected villages.

    J. Implementation through Surveys & NGOs

    ·    Conduct detailed surveys on affected persons and income loss.

    ·    Engage reputed NGOs for transparent implementation.
