About the district

Hazaribagh District at a Glance

Hazaribag district is situated in the northern Jharkhand and is the headquarters of North Chotanagpur division. It is surrounded by the districts of Gaya (Bihar) and Koderma in north, Giridih and Bokaro in the east, Ramgarh in the south and Chatra in the west. Hazaribag district ranks 7th in terms of population (17.34 lakhs) in Jharkhand. It has two sub-divisions namely Hazaribag Sadar and Barhi. The district has been divided into 16 blocks, and 257 panchayats. The district is predominantly rural (84.12% population), and the economy is mainly agrarian. The district also has several mining areas, and has the presence of corporates like NTPC India Ltd, Central Coalfields Ltd, Usha Martin, Ramky, etc. Hazaribag boasts of a rich cultural heritage, dating all the way back from the meso- chalcolithic period (10,000 to 4,000 BC) to the Indian Freedom struggle. The district is home to pre-historic rock, religious sites of different faiths, and megalithic sites. This district also played a role in the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, during which the Ramgarh Battalion revolted against the English rule. Further, Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi himself paid a visit to Hazaribag in 1925. The word 'Hazaribag' is made of two Persian words: Hazar meaning 'one thousand' and bag meaning 'garden'. Hence the meaning of Hazaribagh is 'city of a thousand gardens'. According to Sir John Houlton, however, the town takes its name from the small villages of Okni and Hazari – shown on old maps as Ocunhazry. As per census 2011 the district is home to about 17.3 lakh people, among them about 8.9 lakh (51%) are male and about 8.4 lakh (49%) are female. 75% of the whole population are from general caste, 17.49% are from schedule caste and 7.02% are schedule tribes. Hazaribag is also one of the 35 worst Left- Wing Extremism-affected districts. Eighteen villages, with over 17,000 population, are affected by extremism in the district.

Mines & Minerals in the district

Situated in the North Chotanagpur region, Hazaribag district is endowed with rich mineral deposits, occupies a prominent place in the mineral resource map of Jharkhand that contributes significantly to the state’s Gross Domestic Product. The district fulfils the domestic and overseas demand with huge reserves of high-grade Coal along with other minerals such as limestone, dolomite, granite, construction material, Quartz, Felspar, stone, sand, ordinary earth etc. Churchu, Dadi, Keredari and Barkagaon blocks are home to significant reserves of coal in the district. Coal mines in the district are the primary source of livelihood for majority of the district’s population. The entire forest range of Hazaribagh is dotted with several mines of varying production capacities. Some of major mining agencies operating in the district are Central Coalfields Limited, NTPC. Apart from above mentioned companies, Private and State PSU Companies like Hindalco, Essar M.P. Ltd, JSW ltd, Usha Martin Ltd JSMDC, BSPDC Ltd. etc. are likely to open their coal mines allocated under Coal Mines Auction Rules in the district. The district’s mining sector contributes significantly to the state economy, however, there exists a discrepancy between the natural abundance of minerals found in the district and a corresponding development of the local communities. Despite being a mineral rich district and having mining related benefits to the economy, Hazaribagh is performing poorly on most of the human development indicators. Although more than 3.4 Million tons of coal has been produced from Hazaribagh, in the last financial year. Hazaribagh’s population still lives below the poverty line, with the worst sufferers being the marginalized groups of rural communities. Hazaribagh is home to a sizeable tribal population, including, Birhors, a particularly vulnerable Tribal Group who are totally dependent on forests and agriculture for their livelihoods and survival. As per the Census 2011, Scheduled Tribes constitutes 7.02 % of district’s population with 17.50 % as Scheduled Castes.

Annual Report 2019-20

Geographical Coverage

Location: Mining of coal is currently operational in 4 blocks of Hazaribag district namely- Barkagaon, Churchu, Dadi & Keredari. Seven coal mining projects are operated in these 4 blocks - Urimari o/c, Urimari u/g, Birsa (Badka Sayal), Giddi-A, Giddi-C, Religarha (Argada area) and NTPC (Barkagaon). Apart from coal; mining of minor minerals like sand, stone are majorly done in almost all parts of the district. Annual Report 2019-20

Mining affected areas:

DMFT Hazaribag in consultation with different stakeholders has identified around 362 villages (103- directly affected & 259-indirectly affected) across the district both affected by coal mining as well as sand and stone mining activities. With the increase in mining related activities it is obvious that the area under affected areas will increase in the days to come.

Criteria for directly/indirectly affected areas:

Directly affected: where direct mining-related operations such as excavation, mining, blasting, beneficiation and waste disposal (overburdened dumps, tailing ponds, transport corridors etc.), etc. are located. a) Villages and gram panchayats within which the mines are situated and are operational. Such mining areas may extend to neighboring village, block or district on even state. b) An area within such radius from a mine or cluster of mines as may be specified by the State Government, irrespective of whether this falls within the district concerned or adjacent district. c) Villages in which families displaced by mines have resettled/rehabilitated by the project authorities. d) Villages that significantly depend on the mining areas for meeting their economic needs and have usufruct and traditional rights over the project areas, for instance, for grazing, collection of minor forest produce etc. should be considered as directly affected areas.

Indirectly affected: Those areas where local population is adversely affected on account of economic, social and environmental consequences due to mining-related operations. The major negative impacts of mining could be by way of deterioration of water, soil and air quality, reduction in stream flows and depletion of ground water, congestion and pollution due to mining operations, transportation of minerals, increased burden on existing infrastructure and resources.

Process for selecting the villages under these categories:

Since, Hazaribag has 1300 (approx.) villages it was difficult to shortlist the number of villages coming under directly and indirectly affected areas. To get it conveniently done and have authenticity of the data the below mentioned method was followed: a) Discussion meeting with the Executive committee members. b) Development of a format to cater all the necessary information. c) Orientation cum consultation Meeting with the available COs and Assistant Collector d) Issuing letter to all the CO’s (Circle officers) with the specific format. e) Regular follow-ups for addressing the queries if any and meeting the timelines. Once the list was received from all the CO’s the PMU bi-furcated the list in category wise and after its approval from Governing council’s meeting and Chairman, the list was uploaded in the website for public view.

District Mineral Foundation Trust- An Overview

The Mines and Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (MMDR Act, 1957) was amended through the MMDR Amendment Act, 2015. One of the amendment provisions relates to introduction of section 9B which provides for the establishment of District Mineral Foundation (DMF) in any district affected by mining related operations. The object of the DMF is to work for the interest and benefit of persons, and areas affected by mining related operations.

Vision of the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) Trust is to “alleviate the adverse impacts of mining on Annual Report 2019-20

communities and environment and create sustainable development opportunities for current and future generations”. Mission of the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) Trust is to “work for the welfare and development of mining affected communities”.

Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY)

The Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY) will be implemented by the District Mineral Foundations (DMFs) of the respective districts using the funds accruing to the DMF. The overall objective of PMKKKY scheme will be (a) to implement various developmental and welfare projects/programs in mining affected areas, and these projects/ programs will be complementing the existing ongoing schemes/projects of State and Central Government; (b) to minimize/mitigate the adverse impacts, during and after mining, on the environment, health and socio-economics of people in mining districts; and (c) to ensure long-term sustainable livelihoods for the affected people in mining areas. It undertakes the following activities for this purpose: a) Receive, maintain, manage, release and utilize the funds accrued. b) Plan, identify, design and undertake suitable welfare and developmental projects, following due procedure. c) Monitor and coordinate with various executing agencies at field level for successful implementation of projects taken up. d) Ensure convergence with ongoing/existing schemes/projects of State and Central Government. e) Identify and promote innovative solutions. f) Ensure regular and swift redressal of grievances. g) Coordinate with Planning and Convergence Department (GoJ)) and Steel and Mines Department (GoJ).

The Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY) has been launched by the Government which will be implemented through funds collected under DMF. At least 60% of PMKKKY funds will be utilized for high priority areas like: (i) Drinking water supply (ii) Environment preservation and pollution control measures (iii) Health care (iv) Education (v) Welfare of women and children (vi) Welfare of aged and disabled people (vii) Skill development (viii) Sanitation

The rest of the funds i.e. 40% will be utilized for undertaking works like: (i) Physical infrastructure (ii) Irrigation (iii) Energy and watershed development (iv) Any other measures for enhancing environmental quality in mining district.

Sectors of Intervention

The District Mineral Foundation (DMF) has been setup by the state government to benefit people in India’s mining affecting areas. It was created in 2015 by the central government through an amendment Annual Report 2019-20

in the mines and minerals (development and regulation) Act, 1957. To balance between the role of minerals in industrialization and degrading lifestyle of mining areas, the government of Jharkhand has set up several policy decisions to utilize the royalty received for environmental and livelihood development. The Central Government has issued a directive to the State Governments, under Section 20A of the MMDR Act, 1957, laying down the guidelines for implementation of PMKKKY and directing the States to incorporate the same in the Rules framed by them for the DMFs. Adhering to the Spirit of equality and safeguarding the fundamental rights Hazaribagh District Mineral Foundation (Trust) has been formed under the provisions laid in section 9(B) of The Mine and Minerals Development and Regulation (Amendment) Act, 2015 for sharing the mineral wealth with communities in the mining areas. The formation of the trust is in synchronization with the landmark Supreme Court judgment in Samantha Vs State of Andhra Pradesh in 1997 (Popularly known as Samantha Judgement). This judgement has given a balance between the right of the state to exploit its mineral wealth and duty to safeguard the interest of people who reside in mineral rich areas.

Governance and Management of DMFT Trust

The Hazaribag District Mineral Foundation Trust came into existence on 3rd May 2016 as a registered non-profit body (Trust) with the objective of benefiting the mining affected people. The governance and management of the trust is governed by the trust rules and with utmost transparency.

PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN UNDER PMKKKY

An Overview With the objective of benefitting the people of mining affected areas, DMF Hazaribag has taken up several initiatives in areas of Health care, drinking water supply, education, welfare of women and children etc. Consultation with PRIs, stakeholders and block officials and officials of line departments was key to development of innovative projects in mining areas. Without identification of gaps and need analysis it was difficult to derive the major issues/areas of interventions in the district. With the support of DMFT-PMU it was possible to make out and come up with solutions to address the issues of the people directly and indirectly affected by mining related activities. On the basis of secondary data and consultation with stakeholders, areas for intervention were identified on priority basis. The same were in line with PMKKKY guidelines and areas of intervention under DMF rules. Setting up of PMU was a major task done during the period for strengthening the overall processes of the Trust. Through PMU it became easier for the district administration to plan and implement PMKKKY schemes especially in the mining affected areas of the district. The PMU focused on the following processes before implementation of schemes and projects. A. Need Assessment was done for the following thematic areas • Health • Education • Nutrition • Water Resource • Agriculture • Fisheries • Animal Husbandry B. Consultation regarding PMKKKY schemes. C. Identification of affected areas/beneficiaries.

The major activities/schemes undertaken during the period were focused in areas of: 1. Drinking Water 2. Education 3. Health 4. Welfare of Women and Child

Need Assessment

Need/Gap assessment is one of the foremost tasks before implementation of the project. Before allocation of fund it is necessary to check the viability and feasibility of the identified project. It helps in identifying the core areas of development sectors and priority areas for addressing the issues. A set of priority areas has already been defined in the PMKKKY guidelines for mining affected areas. In line with the guidelines set, DMFT Hazaribag undertook several activities for identifying the gaps before implementation of different projects.

Consultation regarding PMKKKY Schemes The team members of the DMFT (PMU) organized and facilitated multiple meetings with the stakeholders at district, block and cluster level. The major objective of this approach was to orient them about the know-how, scope, process and guidelines under DMFT. Majorly, meetings/consultation was done with Govt. officials, line departments, PRIs, Mining companies like NTPC, CCL etc. The consultation helped in identification of gaps, affected villages and schemes already been undertaken by different stakeholders in order to avoid duplicity of schemes/projects.

Identification of Affected Areas:

Hazaribag comprises 16 blocks, out of which mining activities are being carried out in 4 blocks Churchu, Barkagaon, Dadi& Keredari. Prior to setting up of PMU for DMFT related activities all the 4 blocks were taken under directly affected area and this the reason why most of the projects were implemented in these blocks. With the increase in mining related activities it was obvious that the quantum of villages affected by mining activities increased. The district administration in consultation with district, block level officials and stakeholders has identified around 362 villages (103- directly affected & 259-indirectly affected) across the district both affected by coal mining as well as sand and stone mining activities. With the increase in mining activities in the days to come more villages will be taken up under DMFT. Identification of villages was done on the basis of PMKKKY guidelines.

Establishment of DMFT-PMU

The District Administrative body i.e. the Managing Committee of the District Mineral Foundation Trust, Hazaribagh had invited Technical and Financial Proposals from organizations of national and international repute for the establishment and running of Planning and Monitoring Unit (PMU) for increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of District Mineral Foundation (DMF), Hazaribagh. The RFP was floated on May 2017.

Objective of establishing a PMU: The aim of establishing a PMU is to help the line departments in planning and making strategies to improve natural resource management, better health outreach facilities, provide quality education, skill development, livelihood opportunities, good infrastructure, irrigation facilities, watershed development, safe drinking water & sanitation in the mining affected areas. It aims to formulate and execute the contextualized needs of the affected communities and areas and implement and monitor the same through structural approach which will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the District Mineral Foundation (DMF), in the larger interest of people affected by mining in Hazaribagh district.

Scope of Work: The Planning and Monitoring Unit (PMU) is established on March 2018, runs under the District Mineral Foundation (DMF). It is manned by a team of experts with developmental background including specialization in critical areas such as livelihood, education, skill development, drinking water & sanitation, health, roads and buildings, environment etc. The PMU serves as a ‘Secretariat’ of the District Mineral Foundation and works under the overall guidance of the Deputy Commissioner and technical direction of the Deputy Development Commissioner cum Member Secretary DMFT, Hazaribagh. Further, the PMU also facilitates the functioning of the General Body and Executive Committee of the DMF along with: • Identification of critical gaps in the mining affected areas for prioritized action. • Evaluation of proposals submitted to DMF for support.

Annual Report 2019-20

• Planning, implementation and monitoring of projects under DMF. • Convergence with various line DMF(T) administrations for coordinated and concerted action. • Identification and promotion of innovative solutions through field level pilot interventions. • Demonstrate the effectiveness of DMF activities on the lives of targeted communities through communication medium. • Preparation of policy briefs, documentation of lessons learnt and impact. • Capacity building activities and knowledge management. • Technical and facilitation assistance to the Governing Body and Executive Committee.

About the agency deployed for running the PMU:

Ernst and Young LLP (‘Consultant’) a business consultancy firm entered into MoA with the DMF, Hazaribag, Government of Jharkhand through Deputy Development Commissioner cum Member Secretary DMFT, Hazaribag (‘Client’) on 12th September 2017 for managing the PMU. This MoA is for a period of 3 years from the date of signing the agreement, which can be extended by a maximum period of 2 years, based on satisfactory performance as determined by the Deputy Commissioner, Hazaribagh and advice of State Government Time to time.

Ongoing Projects under PMKKKY Scheme-

1. Health Care i. Recruitment of Health Personnel ‘Change Agents for Health’ an initiative to bridge the HR gap in healthcare services by DMF, Hazaribagh Coal mines are a major source of air-pollution emitting various poisonous gases to the environment. This enhances the risk of chronic morbidity and premature mortality, particularly from respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The heterogeneity in the population residing in mining affected areas of Hazaribagh include primitive tribes, homeless, displaced populations, immigrants, migrants etc. who historically are very often disconnected from traditional healthcare settings and require additional support from the government in accessing the health services.

The population in and around the coal mines in Hazaribagh were found to be suffering from several health- related problems and absence of skilled health personnel was an add-on these problems. As a result, the people had to either rely on local health practitioners or had to travel to faraway places for treatment of ailments. Analyzing this situation, a pilot project was initiated in Hazaribagh to recruit specialized Doctors and health staffs (initially for a period of 3 months) in the month of August 2018, to improve the health index of the Project Affected Persons in 10 blocks (Keredari, Padma, Barhi, Churchu, Barkagaon, Chauparan, Dari, Katkamsandi, Bishnugarh and Ichak) covering several

i. Development of Model Anganwadis ‘Child Friendly Environment for Holistic Development’ With the objective of providing child-friendly environment with quality services for nutritional and educational outcomes DMFT Hazaribag came up with the idea of developing the existing anganwadi centres into ‘Model Anganwadis’. The Model Anganwadis are having all the basic facilities like functional toilet with water supply, handwash unit, adequate toys to play, proper seating arrangement for the children and the workers, study material for informal education, clean and safe drinking water, uniform, nutritional food and other amenities. The Model Anganwadi centers are having better monitoring and evaluation framework to assure quality check and accountability. Initially, those Anganwadi centers were upgraded which are running in the government buildings and the condition of which is at par. It was being done in two parts i.e. Civil and Procurement. The civil work of repairing the building was done by the line departments whereas the procurement of the materials to be installed was done by vendors through tendering process. The Phase I of the project for upgrading 126 Anganwadis was implemented in the financial year 2018-19 with an estimated cost of INR 1.92 Cr. (includes the repairing and painting of the

building) and INR 80.86 lacs for procurement of materials in 40 centres. Continuous monitoring have been done throughout this year with some minor additions in collaboration with special division and zila parishad. Photographs (For illustration only)

ii. Providing Food Supplement “Atirikt Poshahaar” an effort to reduce malnutrition through Anganwadi centres Majority of children in India have underprivileged childhood starting from birth. The infant mortality rate of Indian children is 44 and under five mortality rates is 93 which is substantially worse than the country’s average. The IMR and under five mortality rate for Hazaribag district it is 29 and 33 respectively which is compatibly lower than nations average rate but it needs to be overcome. The existing ICDS program have shown several positive benefits of providing additional food items to the Anganwadi children like eggs, khichdi, rice, vegetables etc. these have been documented and reported but the shortfalls and the challenges cannot be overlooked as: • Irregular attendance (more attendance on the day when egg is provided) • Lack of transparency in supply of the food items to the beneficiaries. • Unhealthy and unhygienic food preparation • Insanitary environment • Lack of use of all the food items as per the Govt. norms. • Weak monitoring and evaluation In order to address the above issues as per data received for malnutrition children amongst 2- 6 years of age, the District Administration and DMFT Hazaribag and with support of the concerned line department a pilot project was initiated in the mining blocks of the district. The project aims to provide a conducive environment for the overall development of a child through nutrition program. The project also intends to address the issue with respect to health & nutrition and education by attracting the children towards these centers. Also, to have stronger community participation and ownership towards these centers. The decision for choosing the correct food supplement and its procurement was a major task for Annual Report 2019-20

the committee keeping the requirement of the community and the children. After a rigorous brainstorming, supplements like Chyawanprash, Peanut and Jaggery Chikki and Milk were finalized by the committee members. The phase I of the project was sanctioned for 330 Anganwadi centers of Dari, Keredari and Barkagaon block with an estimated annual cost of INR 2.79 Cr. in the current financial year. The project started implementing in the year i.e. 2019-20.

3. Drinking Water & Sanitation i. Providing door to door supply of Safe Drinking Water Food and clean drinking water are essential requirement for an individual to survive. About 18% of the world’s population which resides in the rural India has access to only 4 % of usable water sources. The problem of accessing safe drinking becomes more acute when the situation in mining affected areas is considered. Although coal mining is the primary driver of the district’s economy, it is also responsible for the deteriorating environment in Hazaribagh. Widespread excavation of coal by both opencast and underground mining methods has taken a toll on the environment, especially water resources, by discharging huge amounts of pollutants and discharges to nearby sources of water. Mining, processing, burning, and waste storage of coal, including acid mine drainage, thermal pollution from coal plants has caused considerable damage to natural aquifers, lowering water table, contaminated surface water, streams and siltation of rivers leading to various health related problems. Further the water discharged by the coal mines contain lead beyond permissible limits along with trace of metals like arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, etc. which can cause neurological by inflicting severe damages to the nervous system. To combat the problem of water pollution and resulting health problems, District Mineral Foundation, Hazaribagh has started the initiative of providing safe and clean drinking water through “Door to door Piped Drinking Water Supply Project” to rural households in mining affected villages of Barkagaon, Dari and Churchu blocks.
