Analysis of land acquisitions: Some lessons
Raghu Ram Tata & Ram Kumar Kakani
XLRI Jamshedpur
India: Land availability
Geographical area: 329 million ha


Population: 1.17 billion (2009)

Population density: 355 persons / km
2

Year 1951 2001 2051

Per capita land availability: 0.89 ha 0.3 ha 0.2 ha

Per capita agriculture land: 0.48 ha 0.14 ha ???
15
Impact of land use changes
Environmental: Major reductions in ecosystem
service flows:
Water scarcity / water quality depletion
Accelerated soil erosion + Agri. productivity loss
Accelerated biodiversity loss etc.
Social
Involuntary displacement of people
Loss of livelihoods
Social deprivation
Economic
Pareto Optimality condition compromised
Highly skewed benefit sharing model
Displaced people end up worse off than before





16
Widespread Social Uprising Against Land Acquisitions
Reasons for resistance have broadened over years
Early 1970s: Environmental concerns
Silent Valley dam project threats to
biodiversity in rainforests project abandoned
Mid 80s into 1990s: Social concerns and social
impacts with strong environmental underpinnings
Narmada Valley dam projects environmental
refugees, poorly implemented R&R policies
Implications to the project: Support withdrawn
by international financial institutions
1990s - ongoing: Demand for equitable benefit
sharing opportunities


17
Business implications
Community resistance to land use changes / acquisitions is
on the rise
Land acquisition delays account for 70% of 190 delayed
infrastructure projects; Stalled project value Rs 25 trillion
18
Indigenous communities
Significant Influence
Free, Prior, Informed consent a must
Must be involved prior to project
development

Transient community
Less Influence
Consultation, not consent
Can be approached simultaneously
with project development

Local Lobbies
Can have strong influence
Can influence media
Consent not required but consultation
suggested

Non-Indigenous local communities
Can have significant Influence
Consent preferred
Consultation must before project development

High influence Low influence
Social
Consent
Required
Consultation
preferred




Stakeholder Engagement Framework
(Refer: Ethical Funds Company, 2008)
19
Integrating Sustainable Development concepts into land
acquisitions will facilitate Free, Prior, Informed Consent
Environmental sustainability
Social wellbeing
Equitable benefit flows
to communities
Businesses gain social
consent to operate
Path to project implementation and
economic viability / sustainability of projects

Illegal mining Global context
Small scale, artisanal mining is a wide-spread
phenomenon in mineral rich developing world
At least 13 million people in over 30 countries
engage in small-scale mining
A further 80-100 million people depend on this
sector for their livelihood
Employment in the formal mining sector has
declined peoples dependence on informal
mining has increased manifold International Labour Organisation
32 Dr. Raghu Tata, XLRI Jamshedpur
Background
Concerned by the increasing incidence of
small scale, illegal coal mining activity in
Jharkhand, Department of Mines & Geology,
Government of Jharkhand has delegated this
study to XLRI Jamshedpur and Indian School
of Mines, Dhanbad
XLRI is the coordinating partner
CIL sponsored the study

Drivers of Illegal
coal supply chain
-Landlessness
-Marginal landholding
-Dependence on illegal
coal for sustenance
-Illiteracy
-Low literacy levels
Debt burden
Lack of alternate
employment
opportunities
-Poor enforcement of legal
provisions by coal companies /
Police
-Bribe seeking
Coercion by middlemen /
coal mafia
-Market demand for illegal
coal
oHouseholds in towns/cities
oHotels / dhabas
oIndustry / brick kilns etc.
Easy availability of coal
for exploitation
Better economic returns
from illegal coal than
from other opportunities
Small-scale coal supply chain
economics
Magnitude: 1.37 million tons of illegal coal / year
The minimum cost to CIL and its subsidiaries on account of
small scale coal supply chains to Rs.106 crore
Rs.73.8 crore/year on account of coal extraction
Rs.32.5 crore / year profit foregone
Jharkhand State loses about Rs.34 crore per year on royalty

Village cooperatives
Co-operatives as coal cooperatives:
Co-operatives as service providers
Co-operatives as shareholders
Co-operatives as mining companies
Acknowledge communities as important
stakeholders

Gain Social license to operate through proactive
initiatives

Dr. Raghu Tata, XLRI Jamshedpur 58
Create alternate employment opportunities
Encourage and support Micro enterprises
Land reclamation, afforestation,
Revive natural resource base (CPRs - village ponds, grazing lands,
forests) to enhance income generation / livelihood opportunities for
village communities.
Encourage pisiculture, dairy based industries; poultry farms etc.
through village cooperatives and provide necessary training and

Demand side management
Households
Increase access to cleaner fuels
Awareness campaigns
Partner with MNES
Hotels and dhabas
punishable offence with progressive fines and quick legal action
Provide access to alternative energy sources
Brick-kilns, factories etc
Energy audits
Easy coal linkages
Cancel license to operate if using illegal coal
Collaborate with PCB, Inspector of factories etc
Create public pressure

Dr. Raghu Tata, XLRI Jamshedpur 60
Law enforcement and other measures
Primary target groups should be the large
demand drivers like factories, brick kilns etc.
Provide alternative energy to small
hotels/dhabas and households
Strengthen and reinforce internal security
systems to control coal pilferage
Deal with communities with caution
strong measures could only lead to social unrest
Dr. Raghu Tata, XLRI Jamshedpur 61
Ensure community participation
Mineral development can bring benefits to the local
level. However, the relationship between mining
companies and local communities has a legacy of abuse
and mistrust.
The High Powered Committee of Planning Commission on
National Mineral Policy, 2006
CIL and subsidiaries have an exciting challenge on their
hands.
The challenge is to provide coal for nation building
and also to fully integrate sustainable community
development into its operational goals.
For this to happen, coal companies will have to engage
local communities in each of the decision making,
implementation and benefit sharing steps.
Dr. Raghu Tata, XLRI Jamshedpur 62
Conclusion
Illegal coal supply chain is deeply embedded into
the social fabric of coal bearing tracts.
Governments view this as illegal
Communities view it as an assertion of their rights
over natural resources.
As the problem has broad based socio-economics as
primary drivers, only a broad spectrum of bold
initiatives can comprehensively address it.
Strong political will, social commitment on part of
CIL and sincere implementation of suggested
strategies is required
Dr. Raghu Tata, XLRI Jamshedpur 63
