3.3 Social Management CGPL had initiated development activities, specific and broad, during the construction period. Some of these activities such as fodder distribution, infrastructure creation and renovation, amenities at fishing settlements, etc were initiated as part of the commitments made to the communities which were affected by the land procurement for the project including procurement of gauchar land, ease of accessibility to village and or settlement, livelihood areas etc. Activities were later expanded on the demand and need of the identified villages. Some of the activities were identified as flagship programmes for CGPL and were taken up for long term implementation. Various studies were also conducted based on the communities, lenders and government’s requirement and to examine CGPL’s own development initiatives impact of the communities. These studies have contributed and led to the development and refining of CGPL’s own CSR initiatives and sustainability vision.

The thematic areas and communities that were the focus of the development initiatives, mitigation of impacts and rehabilitation measures for the majority of the construction period and during operation phase are very varied given the nature of livelihood practices, resources ownership and nature of intervention planned. The activities have also progressed from mitigation and compliance to evolving towards a sustainable and integrated approach with more activities implemented to address issues of sustainable resource use and management.

Areas for intervention for CGPL for the project area impacted and non-impacted villages are mainly themed in three major areas:

Livelihood Linked Biodiversity/Ecology - It covers CGPL's work on Agriculture, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, Water Harvesting and conservation, Mangrove plantation, Biodiversity Conservation;

Basic Needs - Health and Nutrition, Education, Public Health ( Drinking Water and Sanitation), Livelihood Promotion through SHG; and Building Social Capital and Infrastructure; Work towards Model Village, Rural Energy, Skill Development, Creation of Community Need based proper

resources. The sub activities under livelihood linked ecosystem include addressing fishermen’s overall development, water harvesting conservation, participatory groundwater management and agricultural promotion, fodder distribution through gaushala in two villages as well as providing fodder for drought mitigation to livestock and Brucellosis Control Project. Under the Livelihood Linked Biodiversity/Ecology, gamut of activities have been increased to include a larger footprint to address livelihood related concerns and other activities with the identified communities. Innovative activities have been undertaken for livestock and fodder related activities such as fodder development by using hybrid varieties such as NB 21, improved varieties of millets, encouraging farmers towards fodder cultivation by distribution of slips, etc. These will be discussed briefly in the section below.

Other innovative schemes for addressing village requirement are currently in progress such as solid waste management in two panchayats providing clean drinking water to villages and schools through installation of ROs in Panchayats and schools, inculcating science learning in children, mobile health units is catering to 14 villages regularly for providing health care to the people.

1 Fodder distribution

There has been a shift from compliance and mitigation to improving the overall sustainability in relation to fodder production in the area and region and its management and distribution. The key areas for improvement are cost optimization, cost sharing and co sharing of revenue. In Tunda Vandh and Mota Kandagra villages are provided with fodder for livestock. Fodder is also provided for 7 other villages as drought support. CGPL has initiated the monitoring of fodder in terms of moisture content and weight and reducing wastage/expenditure by controlling the amount based on total number of cattle in the Gaushalas.

Gaushala trust has been established for implementing and deciding on related issues. An intermediate plan for ensuring withdrawal of CGPL from day to day functioning of the Gaushalas and handing over responsibility to the Gaushala trust formed for the same should be worked out.

Water harvesting/Participatory Ground water Management

As part of the water harvesting and management related activities implemented by CGPL, include upgradation of existing water harvesting structures in the villages in the vicinity of CGPL, geo hydrology study, cluster level groundwater monitoring and to develop security for drinking and agriculture uses. Groundwater monitoring is being carried out too observe and record changes. Renovations, excavations and deepening of the ponds and structures were observed during site visit at Nana Bhadia, Faradi dam and Tragadi villages.

The range of activities taken up related to water harvesting and management needs to be seen in a long term perspective (not less than 5 years) for measuring the impact on the groundwater and participatory management of the resource. As a good practice activities should be documented as a case history and the process documentation for the participatory management with the communities involved which would be key to duplicating similar activity in arid regions.

II. Basic Needs (Health & Nutrition, Education, Public Heath – Drinking Water and Sanitation)

1 Livelihood Promotion Through SHG

There are wide-ranging differences between women in various communities in terms of social, cultural, economic, skill and livelihood. Therefore the solution for the WSHGs and the activities will be dictated by the WSHGs members and their available skill sets and livelihood practised.

A diversified approach which offers numerous options will be accepted more readily by women. A long term vision and activity should be planned with WSHG members with well-planned out strategies for short term and long term activities.
