FYI ---------Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is an important tool to inform decision makers, regulators and stakeholders, about the possible social and economic impacts of a proposed project. To be effective, it requires the active involvement of all concerned stakeholders.
Centre for Science and Environment recognises this need and has developed hands-on five-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on SIA with specific reference to windpower projects from January 12-16, 2015.
The objective of this programme is to build capacity and create awareness among regulators, developers, NGOs and academicians to understand SIA process by sensitising the stakeholders on the ecological perception of human habitat in India, the political economy of natural resources, governance and emerging land conflicts and the local and environmental impacts of development projects.
The course would also cover in detail the applicable Central/State laws and policies related to land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation, Key provisions of the Right to fair compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and resettlement Act 2013, Benefit Sharing with communities, Reconnaissance and Baseline Survey, Land Acquisition Survey and Plan (LAP) and Preparation of Entitlement Matrix based on new Act and Preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
