? Complete transparency, accountability and fairness in LARR process would be achieved only if
the process is computerized and digital payments are made directly into the bank accounts of the
land losers and project affected persons.

Strategy Adopted

Project Level Committee (PLC) is made the single point of contact for all decision making in the interest
of the PAFs and the decisions are then explained in the Gram Sabhas with the pictorial representation
and field demonstrations of the technology adopted. Continuous stake holder consultations with
stakeholders were held to gain their confidence and to take on board all the sections of the society.

Detailed door-to-door survey was carried out for documenting the individual concerns of every Project
Affected Person (PAP). While this survey format was designed with RFCTLARR Act 2013, the tab
based SIA module was also used for profiling of all Project Displaced Families (PDFs) using their
Aadhaar as primary key. Family-wise assets being lost in the project and the individual entitlements are
computed using Compensation Modules.

? Cartosat-2 imagery and GIS mapped drone survey were used to identify individual holdings and
to freeze their values as on crucial date of the 11(1) notification.

? Aadhaar based biometric authentication is introduced to identify each beneficiary and to weed
out extraneous elements and middlemen.

? Bank accounts, ration cards were also seeded with Aadhaar to create individual based profile in
the project.

? Programmed logic was used to put the cap on the 5 acre holdings to each beneficiary with
respect to occupants on the government land as per the state act, land less poor is a family whose
total holding is less than or equal to 5 acres of dry land or 2.5 acres of wet land.

? Separate modules for trees and structures with „ground truthing?.
? NEFT based digital transactions are made part of the project to face the challenges like

availability of paper cash, middlemen in distribution, corruption and other vices in the society.
? Reports module helps in monitoring the status of payments and acts as a Real Time decision

support system.
