Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme

As per chapter VI, Procedure and manner of Rehabilitation and Resettlement-Section 43 of

RFCTLARR Act 2013, the undersigned has been appointed as the Administrator for drafting

Rehabilitation and Resettlement scheme. This Rehabilitation and Resettlement scheme (R&R scheme)

is being drafted in consonance with section 16, 17, 18, 19, 31, 41 & 42 (if applicable), 43, Second

Schedule of RFCTLARR Act 2013 and Rules 7, 8, 9 (if applicable) 16, Form IV (if applicable) and

Form VII of RFCTLARR (Compensation, Rehabilitation and Resettlement and Development Plan)

Rules 2015.

As per the Section 3(k) of RFCTLARR Act 2013, "Displaced Family" means any family who on the

account of acquisition of land has to be relocated and resettled from the affected area to the resettlement

area. In the present case the land being acquired is Agriculture / Non-Agriculture land for which

compensation shall be paid as and when the Collector, Dadra and Nagar Haveli announces the Award.

However, I am of the opinion no case for Resettlement is made out for the project displaced families. I

am of the opinion that the displaced families may be considered for Rehabilitation only.

The Rehabilitation & Resettlement Scheme is prepared based on the Second Schedule (ELEMENTS

OF REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT ENTITLEMENTS FORALL THE AFFECTED
