 About SSPA

R&D Cell
   
 


This Cell was constituted with the intention of raising the standard of living of the resettled families by providing them subsidies for productive assets for agriculture and animal husbandry. It facilitates the rehabilitation of the people by supporting them in income generation. It provides various farm implements at subsidized rates and helps the PAFs in getting used to the new farming environment by liaising with the Agricultural Cell. It also counsels the PAFs on employment opportunities.
 

Some of the rehabilitation and development activities it engages in include: 

Ø       Helping the PAFs in acquiring ration cards

Ø       Helping the PAFs in getting financial assistance in the form of loans and subsidies

Ø       Coordinating with various NGOs

Ø       Taking care of the medical requirements at the R&R sites

Ø       Taking care of the education-related issues in the R&R sites

The productive assets that are provided include bullocks, bullock carts, agricultural equipments, electric motors, etc. SSPA also bears the cost of cattle insurance with premium of one year to the tune of 2.25% of the price of the cattle.   

The Rehabilitation Cell also engages in planning activities and makes action plans for various levels. The Cell liaises with other related state departments such as the Tribal Area Sub Plan (TASP), District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), and the District Industries Centre (DIC) for providing income generating assets to the PAFs. Additionally, the industries are also approached for providing wage labour to the Project Affected Persons. Wherever necessary, the commercial and cooperative banks are persuaded to finance the income generating activities undertaken by PAFs
