This study analyses the impact of Multi Product SEZs on
employment, and export performance .The study focus on the problems faced by
the Displaced Families due to the establishment of Multi Product SEZ, at Atchutapuram,
with reference to their economic status before and after their displacement.
The study examines the utilization pattern of compensation owing to displaced
families of Multi Product SEZ, Atchutapuram. The study estimates the
determinants of affected person's satisfactory levels of the Resettlement and
Rehabilitation Policy benefits among the selected sample households.
In this study, the adverse effects of SEZ displaced families
are identified and arranged in the descending order of endorsement which
include loss of land, public purpose of private commercial ventures is
questionable, people without nonfarm skills suffered a lot, grave inadequacy of
package of compensation, replacement of farming with private industrial
enclaves, disruption to traditional rural life, fragmentation of holdings,
growth of real estate business, resettlement and rehabilitation are far from
satisfaction, vulnerable sections are further marginalized, loss of livelihood
opportunities, diversion of huge amount of water to SEZ threatened food
security, forced acquisition of land, women are forced to work more, loss of
non-land assets, unemployment for a long period led to severe poverty, the
promise of job is the most disappointment, employment is short lived, distress
sale of movable assets, speculation in property markets, land reforms in
reverse, low work participation rate, purchasing power has gone down due to
increase in land prices, out migration, loss of livelihood due to loss of
pastures, rate of compensation was uneven across different social categories
and occupational shift.
Ultimately
the study suggests that SEZ displaced families must be treated as stakeholders
rather than as beneficiaries of the program. Social tensions in SEZ areas must
be minimized by well attending the interests of SEZ displaced families. The
Financial development of the SEZ displaced families must be aimed at through
the means of compensation packages offered by the SEZs and Priority should be
given for employment of SEZ displaced families with the contractors, as they
have lost their land, the principal source of their livelihood.
More sincere
efforts are required to save the agricultural land of the periphery villages
from contamination due to deposition of fly ash or spread of polluted water of
the factory into their land. Immediate compensation may be given to people who
suffer from loss of crops due to ecological hazards caused by the factory and
death of animals by drinking polluted water. In order to promote skill among
the SEZ displaced families Government as well as the SEZ Authorities should
make provision of institutional training facilities with the provision of
credit facility on easy terms for the same. The Government should come forward
with programmes like employment guarantee Scheme or any other wage-employment
or self-employment schemes to enable the poor SEZ displaced families at least
few days of employment for their sustenance. 'In order to provide gender
justice with respect to rehabilitation, proper steps should be taken, so that
it could strengthen the right to livelihood and survival of women folk. For
this purpose, the gender sensitive data of impacts of displacement and
resettlement should be analyzed and corrective measures should be adopted.
