Item Open Access Current Rehabilitation Status over the Issues of Displacement at Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai: Some Observations(University of North Bengal, 2013-10) Pattanaik, Sarmistha; Sen, AmritaThe Present Status Report published by the Forest Department, Maharashtra in June, 2011 reveals the stages of resettlement to be provided to the slum dwellers settled within Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) Mumbai in two different phases and also reveals the number of pending rehabilitations to be made, in addition to the park conservation measures taken therein. The present study, on the basis of a survey conducted during March-May 2013 in SGNP, is a comment on the Report published, which intends to state that the proposed stages of rehabilitation are truly derisory and insufficient. The final comments represent the overall picture of the current issues of acute marginalization, alienation of livelihood and future uncertainty of the migrant population settled therein resulting from the fictitious rehabilitation measures and depleting livelihood opportunities of which they are doomed victims.Item Open Access Development induced displacement and rehabilitation with reference to three states – Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal(University of North Bengal, 2013-03) Rajak, Pankaj; Yasin, M.The essay contends that the economic liberalization in India is virtually depriving the tribal and other agricultural dependent people of their traditional means of livelihood by promoting all sorts of ‘so called’ developmental projects. Such development serves the interests of the elites while it impoverishes the tribal and poor people who are dependent on the life sustaining resources of the ecosystems in which they live. The very nature of the present development paradigm does not provide for the absorption of these poor people by either developing their skills or by providing them with technical education. In light of the above statement, to understand the problem of development-induced displacement and rehabilitation in India due to several developmental projects, a study of three states has been made.
