Sagar, Madhya Pradesh

12 villages fully displaced already, more than 400 crores are received to the Forest department's account for further action and displacement of remaining Villages!!!!

Displacement has always been intensely coercive, intimidating, forceful and Chaos but now it has resulted in quite opposite to usual by the efficient functioning of forest department officials in the Nauradehi Sanctuary because people have started demanding displacement themselves for better livelihood outside the forest environment.

This change has come after the process of displacement has been simplified and the amount of compensation paid by the government as per the demand is satisfied.

This is the reason that in the last four-five months, about 30 villages in the sanctuary have applied for displacement by forest department after certifying the proposal in Village Panchayats.

In this, the people in the resident have given information and details of them to the department, now the process of displacement can be started by examining the eligibility criteria. Department officials say that those settled in the forests want to be displaced or relocated outside because they can easily get the benefit of the schemes of government and they can also be involved in Development and Education.

People of Village
The Forest Department will open two bank accounts of each person of these villages which was administered by the government which will have single savings account and will be joint with a savings account collector.

While preparing for the displacement, the amount of one lakh rupees will be credited to the account of the person, whereas an EC FD of Rs 3 lakh will be made, which will earn every month and it will be for three years. The remaining six lakhs will be in joint account with the collector, as soon as the person purchases the house or land after the displacement, the entire amount will be put in his single savings account.

Revenue for Village
Here the department has given two options. In which, if proposal of Rs. 10 lakh per unit is made by the Panchayat, then only once the full amount will be added to the person's account. Here every adult is considered a unit, but if a 21-year-old man is married then he and his wife will be considered as a unit.

In the second option, if a person evaluates his land, house, other assistant, then it will be determined by the collector and given the amount according to the valuation of the price.

District Administration has Rs. 433 crores
As per the information received from the department, so far the amount to be displaced from the 72 villages in the sanctuary has been reached in the District Collector's account. This amount has come in installments, it is being said that at present, the collector's account is about Rs. 433 crores.

So far, 12 villages have been completely displaced in the process of displacement, whereas the displacement amount has reached bank accounts of two more villages People.

Applications have been received from 30 villages
Earlier it was involved for extraction of the compensation money deposited in the displacement, people had to get the permission of the forest department to withdraw their own money  but  now what has been changed is this reason that now people are applying for self displacement by filling applications voluntarily, so applications have been received from all 30 villages.
