Q.481 – Shri Joseph Toppo. 29.04.2010 11 (Q. No. 481) SHRI JOSEPH TOPPO : In my area of Tezpur, we have 100 tea gardens. There are about fifty thousand most socially backward and illiterate tea garden and ex- tea garden workers in that area. I would like to know whether your Ministry has made some policy to establish Computer Training Centres for their children as you have done in coal field areas/localities. You have done so many good things like construction of bridges, roads, etc. in those areas. Can you do similar favour for this area also? SHRI JITIN PRASADA: As far as tea gardens in Assam are concerned, the Petroleum Ministry supply gas at APM rates which are very low and in fact, it is a loss to the petroleum companies. As far as this question relating to CSR activity is concerned, a lot of money has been spent by Oil India and ONGC in the North-East and in Assam. A lot of proposals are there with regard to education, with regard to health and with regard to hospitals. If he is talking about computer centres, there have been computer centres which have been set up in Nazira and Guwahati in Assam. So whatever companies can do with regard to CSR activities, they are doing it in that area. SHRI JOSEPH TOPPO : What is the percentage of State’s share given from the revenue earned from explorated-commercial crude oil? What is the total number of people displaced or shifted from their land during this exploration work in Assam? Had the affected people been given sufficient compensation or permanent jobs by the concerned companies? SHRI JITIN PRASADA: The policy of upstream companies is wherever there has been any sort of disruption to people, property and crops, adequate compensation from time to time in consultation with the State Governments is given. There is no such problem at the moment. In fact, the local sentiments in the North-East is that at times when there are rumours that ONGC is pulling out of that area, they do not want it. I want to put to rest that there is no programme of ONGC coming out of Assam. In fact, people do want our upstream companies to work in Assam 29.04.2010 12 because of the kind of CSR activities that they do and the kind of employment that they do generate in that area. So, I think it is for the benefit of that area and whatever problems that are being faced by any person will be handled separately and all issues will be sorted out. SHRI K.C. VENUGOPAL :I would like to know from the hon. Minister whether the exploration of oil in Cochin from the Arabian sea is over. If so, what was the outcome of exploration? SHRI JITIN PRASADA: Madam, we have got this question relating to North- East and exploration in North-East but this is specifically regarding Cochin.
