Introduction Social impact analysis is a process of assessing or estimating in advance the social consequences that are likely to follow from a specific policy action or project development. A development project may be beneficial to a larger group of the society but may cause harm to the potential households displaced by the project. The externalities are both positive as well as negative. Therefore, it is essential that the interests of the affected groups should be protected adequately to provide social justice. Many of the development projects involve land acquisition and the families dependent on that land are directly affected due to the loss of a major source of livelihood. The Land Acquisition Act 2013 ensures a comprehensive, participatory and meaningful process of land acquisition. To implement it effectively, the Central Government issued the Right to Fair compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Social Impact Assessment and Consent) rules on 8th August 2014. The three basic guiding principles here are: Conducting a comprehensive analysis of the social impact of the land acquisition along with the consent of the land Households. To put in place adequate safeguards as well as checks and balances to ensure that the social impact assessment is free and fair and that the consent is not acquired by any coercive method. Clear delineation of the time period within which the acquisition has to be completed. In a Social Impact Analysis, a base line survey is designed to examine the current status of the families, the nature of economic activities- main and subsidiary carried out by the families, the impact of the project on the livelihood of the families, -agriculture, trade, business, and education of the children, migration, and other issues. The major objective here is to minimise the loss to the affected families and to maximise the gains –private as well as social from the project.

Therefore, agriculture is the main contributor to the district income and other sectors contribute 45 percent of the total district income. The analysis or occupational structures of the district indicate that the district is still economically backward with a large proportion of population engaged in agriculture. The percentage of agriculture labourers has increased in recent years. The Occupational Structure presented in Table 5.17 shows that the district economy is mainly an agricultural economy since it constitute 31.7 percent of district income and provides employment to 67 percent of the population. A large part of the land is under dry land cultivation as the area under irrigation is only 18.8 percent of the net area sown.
