5 Background Displacement due to various development projects has been taking place in India since the preindependence period but hardly any Resettlement and Rehabilitation policy was followed by the British Government then. After independence, as Government of India began with construction of various huge dams and hydro-electricity projects huge masses of people were displaced from their homes involuntarily. In the mineral rich states like Orissa and Jharkhand many villages have been and are still getting displaced due to open cast mining by big corporations. The infrastructure development activities of the government such as construction of roads and railway lines also caused displacement due to linear acquisition of land. Thus millions of people and their families have been getting affected due to the development projects in various ways either due to loss of homestead land, partial or complete loss of agricultural land, loss of livelihood, loss of common property resources, loss of access to forests and other natural resources, the psychological trauma faced while being made to evacuate the home land where people had been living for generations etc. Many a times, the people were also made to evacuate their forcefully and their protest were curbed by using coercive powers. As India did not have any Resettlement and Rehabilitation policy in place many of the displaced persons could not get the benefits of resettlement and rehabilitation. The only Act under which they were entitled to compensation for the land acquired for a public purpose project was the Land Acquisition Act A study for completed in six states and other research shows that the real number people who were excluded from getting the benefits of R&R which they were entitled to for the displacements that happened between the years is probably around 60 million 1 Also, According to an estimate of the Indian Social Institute published in 1995 (Lokayan Bulletin, March-April) about 213 lakh people have been displaced from their sites of livelihood for dams, mines, industries, and wildlife sanctuaries in India from independence until Finally, after a long time, India came up with the National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation which was formulated by the Ministry of Rural Development in the year 2003 and it came into force w.e.f. February, Within two years time, the government of India was issued a Draft National Rehabilitation Policy Before even the national R&R policy came into existence some of the states had their own R&R policies and Acts. In the year1985, Madhya Pradesh enacted a law for resettlement and rehabilitation that did not apply to central government projects but to irrigation and power projects of the state. Karnataka also enacted a rehabilitation law in (Fernandes, 2004) ( 2 Globalisation and Land battles by Abhijit Guha

6 The Maharashtra government enacted a Rehabilitation Act in Public sector companies like National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and Coal India Limited (CIL) also came out with their policies in 1993 and 1994 respectively. 4 The Orissa state, though a very large number of displacement has taken place in it and many incidences of protest by affected communities and of violence against those protesting against displacement, came up with a draft policy in the year 2005 which was gazetted in the year Government of Andhra Pradesh came out with a Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R & R) for the Project Affected Families on 8th April Jharkhand, yet another state besides Orissa where in a lot of displacement has been taking place due to mining and other industrial projects came up with an R&R policy very late i.e. on July 16 in the year Chhattisgarh came up with an R&R policy in the year 2007 i.e. 7 years after its bifurcation from Madhya Pradesh in Some of the states do have R&R policies but which are very sector specific and hardly comprehensive. The state of Himachal Pradesh has an R&R policy for its World Bank funded road sector project. 6 Haryana has a SEZ policy which came into force in the year This policy deals only with acquisition of land for private development and in public private partnership for setting up of Special Economic Zones, Technology Cities, Industrial Parks and Industrial Model Townships. Punjab has an R&R policy particularly for the Punjab state road sector project. 7 The state of Tamil nadu also has a policy only for R&R for state road sector projects and the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Bill was expected to be tabled in the parliament in the year The state of Uttarakhand has an R&R policy for the Tehri Dam and HPP Corporation Ltd s hydro projects. The state of Kerala has an R&R policy for its fast track projects in the transport sector. The others states seem to be still reluctant about the formulating an R&R policy though development projects are coming up at a faster rate than before. Some of the states like Tamil Nadu are following the guidelines of the National resettlement and rehabilitation policy for it R&R of the project but the need for a 3 Legal notings on involuntary displacement, rehabilitation and large dams - M.K.

7 separate R&R policy for each state cannot be denied considering vastly different geographic, demographic and social situation in different states of India. Need for the comparative analysis of R&R Policies in India With the background given in the beginning of the paper above, it becomes quite evident that our overall progress in terms of developing R&R policies for development projects is still in its initial phase. With the national Resettlement and Rehabilitation policy coming into place quite recently and with the great amount of critique being done by the social activists, sociologists, citizen sector representatives and the affected community representatives themselves, we can see that there is lots of scope for the R&R policies to improve. Some of the states and corporations have come up with their R&R policies even before the Central Government came up with the National R&R policy and some states formulated their policies in line with the National R&R policy recently. Thus it would be very interesting to study how the states have formulated policies giving priorities to the problems and issues very specific to their own situation and whether some states have tried to customise the National Policy to the situations specific to their own state while formulating their separate policy based on the National R&R Policy. Such a study would be an exercise to learn some of the very important lessons about R&R Policies which could be useful while for providing inputs for formulation of R&R policies for the other states which do not have one yet. It will also be useful for making some improvements in the policies which exist at present. Some of the states having some key similarities can definitely learn from the R&R Policies of each other. Also the existing R&R policies are ultimately going to be the basis for formulating a Law regarding Resettlement and Rehabilitation due to development projects thus the flaws in the policies will get incorporated into the Act as well whenever it comes into place. Thus, it becomes necessary to carry our studies on the R&R policies in order that we have all the necessary provisions and improvements made in the policy before formation of an Act based on it is proposed. If the necessary changes are not made in the R & R policies, the shortcomings of the policy will get translated into the Rehabilitation Act that may come into place in future. Thus it should be a matter of concern for all to make sure that the states can learn from the experience of the policies in other states, the National Policy should incorporate the learning from the state policies so that the national legislation on rehabilitation does not have the same shortcomings as the policy.

8 Scope of the study The project involves a comparative analysis of the Resettlement and Rehabilitation policies in India. The National Resettlement & Rehabilitation Policy of India, the Resettlement & Rehabilitation policies of the states and specific project R&R policies or R&R policies followed by companies in India are compared and analysed. The study will involve a comparison of the policies based on various parameters of the provisions in the policies and an attempt is be made to critically analyse the policies. For the purpose of this research project, I have not considered the policies for a particular sector project such road sector project are not considered. The rehabilitation policies only for the displacement caused due to development projects are considered and not the ones for displacement due to disasters. Also, the R&R Acts of the states Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh were not taken into account. Among the sample of policies chosen for comparison, I have tried to include 3 policies of the states and 2 policies formed by the corporations. Specifically I will be comparing the following policies, 1. National Rehabilitation Policy Government Of Andhra Pradesh Resettlement And Rehabilitation Policy 2005 For Project Affected Families 3. Orissa Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, Jharkhand Rehabilitation And Resettlement Policy (JRRP- 08) 5. Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy of Coal India Limited (May 2008) 6. National Thermal Power Corporation's Policy on Resettlement & Rehabilitation (June 2005) In the beginning, I have presented the findings of the comparison of the above R&R Policies based on various parameters. The parameters used are basically the various issues regarding resettlement, rehabilitation benefits and compensations which the project affected people are entitled to. I have presented whether there are any provisions in the policies that address the selected issues and what provisions in the policies address them. The broad headings of the parameters used for compare the policies are as follows, A) Survey and identification of affected people B) R&R planning C) Resettlement

9 D) Rehabilitation E) Gender sensitivity F) Benefits for those affected by the project due to loss of livelihood G) Provisions for those affected by linear acquisitions H) Special provisions for STs, indigenous tribes I) Provision for landless/homestead less encroachers J) Updating the land records K) Mechanism for monitoring of the R&R project In the next part of the paper, I have done the critical analysis of some of the important issues based on which the provisions in the policy are compared in the first part. I have also tried to identify some of the things which are lacking in all the policies in general. Methodology For the above study the methodology followed will be mainly to study the various R&R policy documents published on the internet and policy review articles by experts on R&R policies in India.
