ABOUT SINGRAULI

Singrauli is the 50th district of Madhya Pradesh State of Union Republic India. It was granted district status on 24th May 2008, with its headquarter at Waidhan to fullfill the aspirations of people of this place. It has been formed after dividing it from Sidhi district. Singrauli has three tehsils namely 1. Singrauli 2. Deosar 3. Chitarangi. It has three develovment blocks by the same name. Singrauli Town is a municipal corporation with a population of about 2 lakhs. The estimated population is about 11 lakhs. Singrauli is fast emerging as an energy hub of India , especially for electric power and coal and therefore locally it is also called Urjanchal ( a Hindi word which means land of energy ). The total installed capacity of all power plants at Singaruli is around 10% of total installed capacity of India. The area in the eastern part of the state of MP and the adjoining southern part of Sonebhadra Distt. in the state of UP is collectively known as Singrauli. Singrauli is emerging as India's Energy Capital, the place earlier known as Shringavali, named after the sage Shringi, was once upon a time covered with dense and unnavigable forests and inhabited by wild animals. The place was considered so treacherous that it was used by the Kings of Rewa State, who ruled the area till 1947, as an open air prison for detaining errant civilians and officers. Just two generations ago, small holders were tending their parcels of land here, and the original inhabitants were gathering honey and herbs in the forest. In the late fifties, a large scale dam banked up the water of the River Rihand. The dam known as Govind Vallabh Pant Sagar, was inaugurated by Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru in 1962. Later, rich coal deposits spread over an area of 2200 km in the state of M.P. and U.P. (southern part of Sonebhadra Distt.) were discovered close to the artificial lake that could be used to generate electricity. In this district, Northern Coal Fields (NCL) is spread over a vast area with a production of about 15-20 percent of total coal in the country. There are 11 Open cast mines of the NCL which supplies coal to around 8-9 Power Projects spread in and around Singrauli both in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Vindhya Nagar NTPC is the single largest Super Thermal Power Project of the country with a power production of 3260MW. NTPC Shaktinagar is adjoining this place with another 2000MW power capability. NTPC Rihand is nearby with another 2000MW capacity. Apart from these power projects there are at least 5 Power Projects of the State Government of UP with a combined capacity of about 4500MW. Singrauli is going to become the "Power capital" of the Country with new power projects being set up in near future. Apart from Power Projects 9 Open cast coal mines are also going to start production within 3 years. Land Acquisition for all these Power Projects are all most over and these power projects will get commissioned by 2011-12. Reliance, ESSAR, Hindalco, Jaypee and DB Power are establishing their power projects here. Hindalco is establishing its" Aluminium Smelter" Plant under the SEZ Act and this unit is going to be a total Export Oriented Unit. The Combined Investment of all these projects is going to be around 1 lakh Crores. Singrauli with its natural resourses and enabling environment by the State Government and District administration has become most suitable destination for investment. The Chief Minister of M.P. Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan dreams to develop Singrauli on the lines of Singapore

Singrauli Model of Land Acquisition and R&R


P.Narahari, IAS joined as Collector and District Magistrate on 2nd March 2009 and Anurag, IPS joined as SP around the same time in the month of January. The entire Land Acquisition and R&R were reviewed by the new team of administration and new methodologies were prepared to tackle the enormous amount of activity that is happening in the district. Land Acquisition cannot be done without effectively planning for the R&R and suitable packages need to be designed to cater to the demands of the Project Affected Peoples (PAPs). What rolled out in the next 2 years is a PAPs friendly administration which helped in the smoother eviction of people and R&R.

Mutually agreeable Time Line Schedule: Mutually agreeable Time Line Schedule (MATS) is a new concept that has been developed in Singrauli for Land Acquisition and R&R. Land acquisition officer (LAO) & Project Head of the Company prepare the MATS draft and it is approved in the weekly Projects' Review meeting after thorough discussion. Mutually agreeable Time Line Schedule (MATS) is the requirement of changing times. Generally the land acquisition takes its own time because a prescribed procedure has to be followed--- sec 4/6/9/Award! The companies for which Land acquisition takes place assert enormous pressure for quick land acquisition. Land acquisition follows eviction for which pressure is exerted. Our officers also need some time to resolve issues and do land acquisition following due procedure. Hence a mutually agreeable time line schedule takes care of both sides' time lines. Projects' Review Weekly meetings are organized for breaking schedule into smaller actionable units & execution and also to review the implementation of MATS. If any emergency crops up or new developing issues have to be resolved then these weekly meetings help to resolve them immediately. Entirely new method of Transition: About 100-125 Class-3/4 officers were selected from various departments of the district. They were grouped into teams, each team comprising of 4-5 persons. They were trained by the Collector himself. Each day they were picked up in vehicles at 7am from a fixed place and dropped back by 12pm. Again picked up at 4pm and dropped back by 7pm. Each group was given a sheet with a list of 20 PAFs (Project Affected Families). The team visits the house of PAFs and sits in their house and talks to them. The team explains to them about land acquisition, the need for eviction & shifting to R&R Colony. They write down all issues raised by the PAF and redress the issues there & then itself if possible. They visit the same PAFs several times till they are convinced. If the issues raised by PAFs are beyond their jurisdiction then they bring it to the notice of Tehsildar/SDM. Tehsildar/SDM would solve such issues immediately and if not possible then those issues reach ADM/DM who resolve them amicably using their descrition. During such team visits some of the oustees had problems pertaining to shifting to new places/R&R Colony. They wanted time to construct their own house. Such PAFs were provided with a) Temporary rental arrangement b) Transit accommodation. In 3 months all issues resolved and BTG/EW of Reliance & ESSAR cleared.

Pasting of redressed issues at the Admin building of the Dist Admin at the project sites. If necessary personally intimating the applicants about their applications. At least one officer of the Dist Admin sits daily at the Admin Building to listen to PAFs and redress their issues. This could be Tehsildar/SDM/ADM/DM. The Company people also sit at the Admin Building to resolve issues and problems on a dialy basis.

Revision of R&R Package:


R &R Package has been revised to suit to the needs of PAFs. A tripartite agreement is designed which is signed between district administration, company and the registered labour co-operatives to ensure that work is awarded to such societies without tendering. This agreement is first of its kind and is the most PAF friendly concept evolved in Singrauli district. Stamp Duty and Land Registry Exemption: As per the guidelines of MP R&R 2002 Section 29 (3) the Project Affected Families will be encouraged to buy agricultural land and the stamp duty and land registry charges for the quantum of land purchased will be exempted (equivalent to the quantum of land acquired).

implementing this provision. The objective is to encourage PAP's to fruitfully utilize the compensation paid under Land Acquisition process and also the restoration of livelihood for the farming community. A Standard Format was designed for easy application by the PAPs.

Employment action Plan:


1) The project authority submits a detailed employment action plan which entails a broader description of the skill and work wise man/women power deployment plan during construction phase as well as operation and maintenance phase. The dist administration is ensuring that mainly the PAPs get such work and only in case of non-availability of PAPs then outsiders to be allowed to work. The project authority ensures that each project affected family gets some source of livelihood in the long run either through direct employment in the company or as a member of the Labour Societies or shop allotment in the township and the R&R colony etc.
