3.2 Social Management
Among the various community development programs undertaken which were initiated in compliance to commitments given to the people during
commencement of the project, a few of these activities such as those related to fodder distribution are considered for long term intervention as a mitigation
measure for livelihood restoration for animal rearers in lieu of acquisition of grazing land (as notified by Government) and livelihood enhancement
opportunities for fisher folk as a mitigation for cooling water outfall component of the project. For other government land acquisition social infrastructure
programs for restoration of access roads, enclosure of common or social/cultural infrastructure, NRM activities, education and health (including preventive)
were undertaken under CSR. The original CSR activities undertaken in compliance to commitments made have also undergone some changes from the
original planned intervention.
