Ministry of Coal, Govt. of India in the year 2006 has allotted two lignite blocks to Rajasthan State Mines & Minerals Limited (RSMML) for mining of lignite on the condition that mining shall be carried out by RSMML or a separate company to be created with participation of RSMML provided that the separate created company is a Govt. Company eligible to do lignite mining in line with the provisions of Coal (Nationalization) Act, 1973. RSMML formed a Joint Venture company with RajWest Power Limited named Barmer Lignite Mining Company Limited (BLMCL) for carrying out mining operations in Kapurdi & Jalipa lignite blocks. Land for these blocks has been acquired by RSMML through Land Acquisition Act, 1894. R&R though a state subject, was linked to land acquisition through Govt. of Rajasthan (NRRP 2007 also permits such settlement of R&R vide its point no. 7.20 which reads as following The affected families may be given the option to take a lump sum amount in lieu of one or more of the benefits specified in paragraphs 7.2 to 7.19, the amount being determined by the appropriate Government after consultation with the requiring body). In the year 2009, Govt. of Rajasthan in consultation with representatives of local population and RSMML fixed a rate of Rs. 1.50 Lacs per Bigha of land for Kapurdi Lignite Block which included price for land, solatium, interest on delayed payment, standing trees etc. but did not include the compensation for permanent structures over such land. The payment towards the above said permanent structures was separately assessed and paid in addition to the above. Acquisition was made through 272 Land Acquisition Prakarans (Cases) spread over the 7 villages in Barmer district of Rajasthan. In Kapurdi block, mine development was started in 2010 and almost all khatedari land owners have vacated their establishments and shifted almost within a range of 10 Kms radius. In the year 2011, Govt. of Rajasthan in consultation with representative of local population of Khatedars and RSMML fixed a rate of Rs. 3.00 Lacs per bigha of land for Jalipa lignite block which included price for land, solatium, interest on delayed payment, standing trees etc. but did not include the compensation for permanent structures over such land. The payment towards the above said permanent structures was separately assessed and paid in addition to the above. This acquisition was made through the 417 Land Acquisition Prakarans (Cases) spread over the 7 villages in Barmer district of Rajasthan. In case of Jalipa acquisitions, Khatedars of 92% of the total khatedari land have accepted the award money at the rate of Rs. 3 Lacs per bigha. Some of the khatedari land owners have migrated but majority of them is still within the Jalipa lignite block area. Page 4 of 10
