engagement with CSR that ties in with their philosophy, values and business. There is a move towards
sustainable development involving both social and ecological impacts, which in turn result in positive
impacts into a corporates’ business models. The ability to show that organization gains resulting from
investment in sustainability initiatives are in real incredibly appealing and this provides fresh impetus for
organizations to address the missing gaps. There is also a focus on:
 Balancing the creating of economic value with that of societal value
 How to manage their stakeholder relationships (especially those with competing values)
 Identifying and responding to threats and opportunities facing their stakeholders
 Developing sustainable business practices

The study captured quantitative information from this location through household survey using CAPI
technique. In addition, qualitative data was also collected through 36 Key Informant interviews, 12 focus
group discussions with separate male and female groups and village level observations through transect
walks in each of the twelve villages.
Study Tools and Research Instruments Used:
7
The study tools in the form of structured pre-coded questionnaires, the Key Informant Interview (KII) and
In-depth Interview (IDI) questionnaire and FGD guide were designed and developed for the study1 (both
quantitative and qualitative) to collect primary data. The tools were translated to Hindi language and
were digitizedin ODK software and pre-tested before conducting the main survey.
Training of Field Team:

Training modules were prepared separately for Field Coordinators, Supervisors and Investigators. A
one-day training session was conducted for the investigative team by the core team members to
familiarize the field team with field protocols and research tools. The field team was also instructed about
the importance of maintaining confidentiality of the respondent’s answers and any other comments
made by them during their interview.A plant-wise field movement plan was prepared such that each
Supervisor and Investigator was mapped during the field work.
Data Collection:
The research tools were administered to the different stakeholders as per the sampling framework
adopted to garner information on various aspects of the assessment.A CAPI-based data collection on
Tablet PCs was used to collect data from householdsusing survey questionnaires. Structured pre-coded
questionnaires were loaded on each tablet using an application that allowed geo-tagging, time stamping,
collation and analysis in excel, R, and SPSS. Collected data was uploaded or transferred from the tablet
to a cloud server every day on availability of internet services. When such services were not available at
the collection site, the data was loaded after returning from the field on that day. Advanced systems
were used for collection of data including ODK software, Tablet PCs, Android OS, in-house IT teams to
ensure seamless design and interface, including data collection, analysis, viewing etc.
Qualitative data wasgathered in the form of IDIs, KIIs, FGDs and interactions with key stakeholders. An
assessment of physical infrastructure in the villages was done through observation surveys/transect
walks. Interaction and discussion checklists were developed to guide the discussions and ensure that it
is managed effectively to gather maximum quality information.
Analysis of Data:
The quantitative data collected was analyzed plant-wise using SPSS software. The information gathered
through the KIIs, IDIs, FGDs, interactions and observations were cleaned analyzed and corroborated to
the findings of the quantitative analysis.
3. Analysis and Key Findings

The quantitative and qualitative data collected from the villages were analysed to assess the needs of
the community.
3.1 Basic Household Characteristics

Of the total 600 households surveyed in 12 villages of Chanderiya plant area, at least half of the
households, about 53% belonged to the OBC category. The Scheduled Castes constituted 21.5% and
16% from the General category. Hinduism was the predominant religion as 90.8% of the households in
the sample households followed it. Close to 9% of the households followed Islam.
About the distribution of income groups in the surveyed households, 40% of them had an income
between INR 1 lakh and 2.5 lakh per annum. 34% households had income levels between INR 50K and
1 lakh and 17% households had less than INR 50000. The lower income of the households draws
attention to the need for additional development support in the plant area.

Structured pre-coded questionnaires and detailed Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), In
Depth Interviews (IDIs), survey questionnaires and guides were developed to gather relevant information and primary data
from HHs, community members, project implementing partner, government/village for the baseline/needs assessment study.
8
The households surveyed had 64% male respondents and 36% female respondents. About 63% of the
respondents were the main wage earners and their median age was 35 years. The age distribution of
the population shows 45% of them being in the economically active age group 26-40 years and another
30% population in 41-59 years. The households surveyed also have 18% dynamic and young
population.The age structure of population in the plant area indicates their differential needs.

There were 2911 members in the 600 households that were surveyed which constituted 52% males and
48% females (Table 7). The surveyed households had a balanced sex ratio. There was an equal
distribution of men and women, about 45% in the economically productive age group in the surveyed
households.
The next highest was the 35-59-year age group that constituted close to 22%. The plant area also has
14% adolescent population and 12% child population below the age of six. It also has about 7.5% elderly
population above 60 years of age.

3.2 Socio-economic Status of Households

Educational Status
The literacy levels of members in the survey households in the plant location are given in table 8.
According to the Census data, the literacy rate of Chittorgarh district was 61.7% in 2011. The surveyed
households had about 37% literates, 28% illiterates, and 31% drop-outs members. Of the total illiterate
household members 70% were the females.Similarly, of the 37% literates, 56% were males and 44%
females. Apparently, there were more male drop-outs (68%) than female drop-outs (32%) in the
surveyed households.

No. of persons 1,514 1,397 2,911
Note: * - Drop-outs include those dropped out before and after class 8.
The education profile of children in the surveyed households reveals that most of them (13%) were in
the primary school followed by children studying in middle school (6.3%) and 5.2% children in high
school(Table 9). There appears to be a regressive trend with progression in the levels of education.
There were no gender differentials in terms of children completing under-graduate, post graduate and
vocational training. The proportion of members completed under-graduation in the households was 2.7%
and those who competed post-graduation was 1.4%. The proportion studying or completed vocational
training was 0.3% and those studying or completed technical training was 0.8%.

Discontinuation of education was an issue in the households covered in the study with more children
dropping out after Class 8. The total drop-out was 31% of which 16.8% dropped out after Class 8 and
14.3% dropped out before Class 8 (Table 9). More males (23%) dropped out before Class 8 when
compared with those who dropped out after Class 8 (17.4%). The need to look after household work was
the predominant reason for 36.5% children who dropped out of school (Table 10). The next important
reason for 33% dropping out was to engage themselves in farm and household business. Drop-out rates
were higher in households that had income levels between INR 50,000 and above INR above 2.5 lakh.

Dropped Out of School
An age-group analysis of the number of drop-outs and illiterates was done to understand the distribution
of drop-outs and illiterates among children in the surveyed households. Overall, there was higher
proportion of drop-outs in the higher age groups.
Among the children who were in the school-going age group of 5-19 years, it was found that 9.8% drop-
outs were in the age group of 15-19 years (Figure 1) with comparatively more female drop-outs (12.7%)
than the male counterpart (8.5%). About 2.6% of illiterates were also found in the 15-19 age groups
(Figure 2). These findings indicate a need for initiatives on improving retention adolescents especially of
girls in the schools

Income Status
In the survey households, about 68% of them had only one earning member, 23% had two earning
members, 8% had three earning members and only 2% had four earning members (Table 11). It was
also observed that the proportion of households with single earning member was higher across the first
three low income categories. In households with an income level above INR 2.5 lakh, there was an
equal distribution of 30.4% households having one, two and three earning members.
In terms of the social groups, there were only one earning member in about 72% of the Scheduled
Caste and Scheduled Tribe households. Similar trend is witnessed in other (incl. OBC) households. The
General category households were slightly better off in comparison to the other categories in terms of
wage earnings and its distribution across household members. These findings reflect on the need to
enhance the skill base of socially vulnerable groups and create employability for them.

the category of INR 50,000 – 1 lakh (Table 12).Larger numbers of poor households werein the others
(incl. OBC) and Scheduled Castes.The Scheduled Castes and Others (incl. OBCs) had 36% and 45%
poorer households respectively with an annual income less than INR 50,000. This scenario holds true
even for households with an annual income in the range of Rs. INR 50,000 – INR 1 lakh.

In terms of the source of income of the households, people were engaged in multiple economic activities
to earn their livelihood. As evident from Table 13, Chanderiya is an agro-economic landscape as the
major source of income for the surveyed households was from agriculture with 56.5% of them
dependent on this sector for their livelihood.
It was also important to note that 47% households engaged in their own independent /skilled work to
support their livelihood. About 12% of the households get their income from Vedanta and its ancillary
units. An equal proportion of households have their income from salaried jobs.

It was observed that 93% of the households in the plant area had a house of their own and lived in them
and only 7% lived in rented house (Table 14). It is also important to note that those who lived in rented
houses had poor economic status having income levels between INR 50,000 and INR 2.5 lakhs.It was
also surprising to note that in the households surveyed, close to 9.5% in the General category and
Scheduled Tribes lived in rented houses.

Land Ownership among Farming Households

The land ownership status of the households in the plant area was assessed by examining the size of
cultivated land owned by households engaged in farming activity. About 56.5% of the households
depended on agriculture as the prime source of income (Table 16).Close to half of the households (49%)
in the area were small farmers who owned less than an acre of land. These small land holdings
belonged to the low-income groupswhose annual incomes were less than INR 50,000 and not more than
INR 1 lakh and by Scheduled Castes. Marginal size land of 1-2-acre land was owned by 32% of farming
households. These were owned mostly by the General category and Scheduled Tribe
households.Medium size agriculture land of 2-5 acres were owned by 17.7% of households and by the
higher income groups whose income exceeded 2.5 lakhs and belonged to the others (incl. OBC)
community. Similar land ownership trend was observed for 1.5% households with large land holdings
more than 5 acres in size.

Financial Burden of Households

All surveyed households in Chanderiya had access to banking facilities as they had bank accounts.
About 85% of the accounts were accessed by both male and female members of the household (Table
18). The remaining 15% of the accounts were operated by single members. Of the total households in
9% HHs the banking facilities accessed by female members and in 6% by males. The households where
single member accessed bank accounts were mostly in the lower income groups and across the
scheduled castes and scheduled tribe community.

In the base line evaluation,it was found that 31% of the surveyed households had taken loans and of
these 80.7% still were under debt burden as they were not able to repay their loans (Table 19). Banks
were the major source (54%) for availing loans followed by Self Help Groups (46%).Among those who
had availed loan, it was observed that at least 60% of the groups which had an annual income of INR 1
lakh and INR 2.5 lakh had approached banks and 40% the Self-Help Groups (SHGs). The lower income
groups and the socially vulnerable groups (SCs and STs) had borrowed loans from SHGs as primary
source followed by banks.

Analysis of the data on loans availed by households against their occupational background showed that
the maximum number of loans were availed by households engaged in agriculture (122 households)
followed by those engaged in skilled/independent work (108 households) (Table 20). About 57% of the
loans for agriculture related expenses were from banks. Self Help Groups financed (56.5%)
skilled/independent works.From Table 21, it is evident that the prominent reasons stated by households
for availing loans were for household (46.5%)and farming related expenses (21%). Another 16% loans
were sought for buying or improving property and 6% separately for marriage related expenses and
business-related expenses.

3.3 Infrastructure and Sanitation Facilities

A transect walk was conducted as part of the study in each of the sampled villages, the aim of transact
walk was to understand the availability of basic facilities and amenities in the villages and identify the
basic infrastructure needs in these villages. The 12 surveyed villages in Chanderiyahad in all 8primary,
6middle and 6high schools. Among these schools, all (100%) of primary and middle schools and 5
(84%) of high schools haddrinking water facilities.
Sanitation facilities were available in all (100%) of the schools.Virtual classrooms were available in 2
(25%)high schools in the surveyed villages. About 17% of middle and 60 % of high schools in the area
had laboratory facilities.Libraries were available in in 84% and 100% ofmiddle and high schools
respectively. Primary schools did not have any library.There was dearth of playgrounds in schools
especially primary schools with only 75% of primary and 84% middle schools had it. However, all the
high schools had playgrounds.

There were various schemes and programmes in the agriculture sector run by various agencies such as
government, NGOs, corporates etc. Some of this included distribution of high yielding seeds, better
saplings, provision of information and trainings on modern agricultural practices and micro irrigation
methods. Analysis of the data on utilization of the benefits of these schemes in the study area showed
that 53% of the households engaged in agriculture did not access any of the schemes made available to
them (Table 27). Among households that engaged in agriculture and accessed these schemes, 34.8% of
householdsaccessed schemes related to high yielding seeds (34.8%) and information on modern
agricultural practices (28.6%). Few had accessed other schemes such as distribution of good saplings
(15.9%), trainings on modern agricultural practices (17.4%), micro irrigation methods (7.4%) and
watershed assistance (3.8% HHs).

The households in the region expressed that they encountered various challenges in undertaking
farming activities. With majority of the households in the region dependent on agriculture measures, it
becomes important to mitigate such challenges faced by the farmers. Keeping this in view, the baseline
study assessed the extent of the various challenges faced by households in undertaking farming activity.
The prominent challenges raised by 41.6% of households in undertaking cultivation in Chanderiya region
was the availability of surface water for crop irrigation (Table 28). Other important challenges faced by
households included lower agricultural yield (20.1% HHs), availability of agricultural tools (20.4% HHs)
and selling their agricultural produce at correct prices (17.4% HHs). Few of the households also faced
challenges with knowledge on new technology for farming, access to market, electricity availability,
availability of agricultural inputs and availability of weather forecast information.

Livestock
Animal husbandry or livestock/cattle rearing is an allied activity to agriculture. In rural areas, cattle
rearing is one of the means of livelihood. Among the surveyed households in the Chanderiya region, it
was found that more than 60% households (412 out of 600) owned one or other livestock species
including cow, buffalo, goat and hen. However, only about 11.3% of the households (as per Table 13)
earned income from the livestock owned.
Regarding the species of livestock owned by the households, cow, buffalo and goat were the most
preferred species. Hens were also owned by a few households. There was no difference among the
different income groups in the ownership of livestock.About 50% of the households in the region produce
own fodder for their cattle and about 39.3% of the households bought some and produced some fodder
(Table 29). There were few households (14.3%) that procured fodder as well. However, 28.2% of
households stated that they faced the issue of availability of fodder for managing their livestock (Table
30).

Different challenges were encountered by households in rearing and management of their livestock at
the household level. The analysis of the survey data revealed that among the households that owned
livestock, most of the households (51.5%) faced challenges with non-availability of Paravet for treatment
of their livestock(Table 30). Vaccination of their livestock was also a challenge for 41% of households in
managing their livestock. About 31.8% of them faced issues with diseases treatment. 28.2% households
faced challenges with knowledge on management of livestock and 23.8% with availability of fodder

Mining
The Chittorgarh district, being rich in various mineral resources, considerable mining activities takes
place around the Chanderiya plant region. Engagement in mining activity and working within a mining
zone was one of the occupational choices of the households in the region.
It can be observed in Table 31that members in about 4.7% of the respondent households were engaged
in mining activity. Another 12.5% of households had household members working within a mining zone.

Employment and Skill Development Opportunities

The awareness of the skill development opportunities among the community in the region was assessed
in the baseline study. It was found that only 38.8% of households had any one family member being a
part of SHGs(Table 32). This was a common phenomenon observed across all income groups in the
study. SHGs are a medium for skill development of the members and a means for bringing women
inclusive development in the rural areas. Therefore, CSR initiative should focus on bringing more
households, especially women of the households, under SHGs and thereby increasing the number of
earning members in the households and promote inclusive development.

Probing into the awareness levels of the villagers on the employment opportunities available in the plant
area, it was observed that the households had low awareness levels of the employment opportunities
available in the plant area. Overall, only 43.3% of the households were aware of the employment
opportunities available in the area (Table 33). Households that were aware of the employment
23
opportunities largely stated their knowledge of daily wage agricultural and non-agricultural labor
opportunities available in the area. Salaried job opportunities available in the private sector in the region
were known to 29.2% of the households and knowledge of government jobs available in the area were
known to only 10% of the households.

Issues in thematic area of education that emerged through KIIs & FGDs:
 Lack of proper skill development centres

 No or lack of recreational facilities
 Poor infrastructure in the schools and AWCs
 Shortage of school teachers
 Lack of library, study materials in schools
Community and key stakeholders in some of the survey villages expressed the need for deployment of more teachers in the
schools. Community suggested that more scholarships to be provided under the CSR initiatives. They also expressed that
provisioning of free shoes, uniforms and study material to children from poor families will help in improving the enrolment
and retention of children in schools. The infrastructure in schools and AWCs also needed improvements. Skill development
centers and computer training institutes should be opened in or near the villages so that employment skills of youths can be
increased, the community in some villages stressed on provisioning of parks and more cultural and sports activities in their
village
3.4.3 Health and Nutrition
Health status of the population is one of the prime indicators of their well-being. A healthy population is
more productive, efficient and contributes to the economic development of the region and nation. In the
present baseline study, an enquiry was made on the disease burden of populations, their health seeking
behaviors, the costs of treatments and access to maternal and child health services to assess the needs
of the community on health-related parameters.
Looking at the accessibility of health facilities in the villages surveyed, it was observed that only 11.5%
households had access to a health facility within 1 km radius. Nearly74% of the households had to travel
more than 5 kilometers to a health facility to access health services. About 8.2% households had to
travel 3-5 kilometers to a health facility to access health services and about 6.6% households had to
travel 1-3 kilometers to a health facility.

In the plant region, the utilization of medical services was goodexcept for 13.3% of households not
having accessed any health facilities to treat their illness (Table 39). The remaining 86% of them have
27
accessed the health services at a health facility in the region. Households majorly approached health
facilities for immunization services (60.8%) and the medical counseling services (42%).
Utilization of family planning services was about 37% in the locality. These services were primarily
utilized by 64.6% of the Scheduled Tribe community. The households from other castes such as the
General, OBC and Scheduled castes utilized family planning services to the extent of 39.6%, 34.7% and
33.3% respectively. Utilization of FP services was very poor(20%) in the low-income category. The ante-
natal and post-natal services were accessed by 30.2% of the households. However, only 26.2%
households have utilized the nutrition counseling and feeding programmes in the region. The mental
health services were accessed by 14.2% of the households.
Among the income groups, the health services utilization by the households with income levels above
INR 2.5 lakhs was better as compared to other income categories. This also raises the issue of
affordability among the populations. The trend was similar among the different social groups with the
Scheduled castes and OBC slightly lagging in accessing the health services.

Disease incidence among population in Chanderiya was slightly on the higher side. Among the surveyed
households, 10.3% reportedhaving episodes of illness in the last 1 year which made them unable to go
for work or attend school for more than a week (Table 40). They were commonly afflicted with diseases
like Dengue/Malaria (35.5%) and Typhoid (14.5%). The poor sanitation and hygiene practices in the
region were a main factor contributing to this disease burden among the population.
Besides this, there were about 9.7% of households that had members suffering from respiratory
diseases, 6.5% of them suffered diabetes and 4.8% had blood pressure. Injury and traffic accidents
were considerably low in the region.
28
Of the total households that had health problems that in the past 1 year, almost 98.4% households
reported to have sought treatment for their illness (Table 41). Households availed treatment for their
ailments from both private health facility (47.5%) and public health facility (49.2%). It is important to note
that the lowest income group exclusively accessed private health facilities for treatment. Further, it is
also important to note that the remaining income groups had higher proportions of households seeking
treatment in public health facilities.

About medical expenses for treatment undergone, it was observed that about 52.5% of the households
incurred up to INR 2K per episode of illness (Table 42). Amounts in range of INR 2K-5K was incurred by
21.3% of households for treatment, INR 5K-10K was incurred by 8.2% of households and about 8.2%
households incurred INR 10K-50K per episode of illness. Nearly, 9.8% of them incurred above INR 50K
for treatment.
The analysis implied that the cost of treatment was high in the region. It was evident from the survey that
36% of households paid direct out-of-pocket payments through cash in hand, savings and selling assets.
A significant proportion of households (26.2%) took loan for treatment and about 16.4% households
borrowed from friends and relatives. None of the households who underwent treatment got treated with
support of health insurance although 8% of the population reported having medical insurance (see Table

In the study villages, there were about 8% of households that had members who were physically
challenged. The most common type of disability was leg impairment (59.2%) followed by hand
impairment (20.4%). Speech impairment was seen among 4.1% of households and visual and hearing
impairment among 14.3% and 6.1% of households respectively. There were also 6.1% of households
having members with mental disability.

The access for maternal healthcare services by the households was good in the area. There were about
7.8% households that had pregnant women in the last year. About 98% of the households reported that
pregnant women received ANC check-up (Table 44).
Pregnancy outcomes showed 98% deliveries were live births and 2% were still births. Home deliveries
were low in the area accounting as low as 2.1%. The remaining deliveries were institutional, with all of
them to have taken place at government health facilities. A major revamping of the maternal health
services in these facilities is essential. It was noted that after delivery, only 70.2% of the mother and
child have undergone health check-up after 2 months of delivery. The after-delivery care of mother and
child appeared lesser in the Scheduled Tribe community and in the low-income category whose annual
income was less than INR 50K.

Among the total households surveyed in the plant area, there were about 32.8% of households that had
children below 5 years of age (Table 45). In these households, about 13.7% of children had Diarrhoea in
the month prior to the survey and all these households (100%) sought medical treatment or advice.
Majority of them (51.9%) had sought treatment from private health facility and about 44.4% of them from
public health facilities. There were also 3.7% of households who sought treatment from the regional
medical practitioner or Zhola Chap doctors.

The adoption of family planning methods in the study area was poor. Only about 20% of households
surveyed were currently using at least one method of contraception (Table 46). Poor utilization of family
planning services in the area is a matter of concern and thus creating awareness and dissemination of
the benefits of family planning need to be focused.
Though the households had an expanded basket of choice for contraceptives, female sterilization was
the most commonly used method of contraception (58.3%) followed by condoms (29.2%). Daily pills
were being used by 8.3% of the total users and about 2.5% households have adopted male sterilization
(Vasectomy). Injection, IUDs, implants and the traditional methods of withdrawals and calendar method
were rarely being used by the users.

It can be observed from Table 47 that in 61.2% of households the head of the family was the prime
decision maker with regards to taking decisions on healthcare. Joint decisions were taken by 27.5% of
the households while in 11.3% households; the spouse of the household head took decision to access
health care.

As a means of assessing the nutritional requirements and its inadequacy in the households, the status of
food sufficiency of the households was assessed in the study. Instances of food insufficiency rarely
persisted in the villages studied. Among the total households surveyed, about 96.5% of the households
had enough food. However, close to about 3.5% of households had to worry about enough food in the
past 30 days. Food insufficiency was observed in households with a low annual income of less than INR
50K and in the OBC and Scheduled Caste community.

Issues in thematic area of Health and Nutrition that emerged through KIIs & FGDs:
 Lack of awareness about nutritional issues

 Poor facility of accessing of medicines
 Lack of health check-up/health centres
 Maternal and child health also emerged as an issue
As per the discussion with the community and stakeholders;the interventions on increasing awareness on the nutrition
related aspects, establishing more healthcare centers in the villages oralternatively organizing periodic health checkup
camps and provisioning of free supplies of medicine were highlighted and reflected as the priority needs in health and
nutrition domain.
3.4.4 Energy Use, Environment, Water and Sanitation
Issues of water and sanitation continue to be a serious threat to the environment and health of the rural
population in many villages in India. The analysis of the data on energy use, water and sanitation
indicators in the Chanderiya plant area showed that this location was no exception to such issues as it
had only average indicators relating to water and sanitation.
About the source of drinking water in the villages of Chanderiya plant area, piped water supply seemed
to be the main source of water as 61% of household’s accessed water from this source (Figure 9).In the
remaining 39% of households, nearly 18.3% accessed drinking water from hand pump or public stand
post and about 12.8% of households used water from unprotected well or spring for drinking. It was
found that only a small proportion of households (2.3%) used drinking water supplied through tankers.
It is also evident from Table 49 that collection of drinking water was a major problem in the villages
surveyed. Among the households, only 36.3% of them mentioned that water was available at home and
they did not have to spend time for collection of water from source. The remaining households in the
location had to travel long distances for collection of water from the source. Majority of them (31.7%)
spent about less than 30 minutes per day for collection of water from source. Another 5.3% had to spend
about 30 minutes to 1 hour per day for water collection. There were also households (1.2%) that spent
more than 2.5 hours for water collection.

It was evident from the households that community water filters were available in the study villages. Of
the households surveyed, 27.5% of them reported that community water filters were available in the
villages. About 18.7% households reported that there were no user charges for the use of community
filter (Table 50). Among the remaining 9% of households, 5.3% stated there was a user charge of INR 5
for 20 litres of water, 2% stated INR 1 user charge for 20 litres, 1.3% stated INR 3 for accessing the
same 20 litres of water from community filter. However, the villagers were not sure whether the drinking
water was safe for drinking as only 72.7% of the households stated that the water in community filter
was safe for drinking.

With the villages surveyed being primarily agrarian, the water availability for agricultural purposes is of
utmost importance. In the Chanderiya region, agriculture was majorly dependent on the rains as about
73.5% of the households stated that their agriculture was rainfed(Table 51). The second major source
for agricultural irrigation was wells (64.6%) and a third source was tube wells (23.6%). About 8.8%
households said that they depended on river or canal irrigation and minor proportions of 2.9% and 2.1%
of households reported using piped water supply and community water ponds respectively for this
purpose. About 2.7% of cultivation was non-irrigated in the villages.

The hand washing practices were good among the households surveyed. Close to 98.7% of the
households stated that they washed hands at all five critical times – after using the toilet, after cleaning a
child's bottom, before feeding a child, before eating and before preparing food (Table 52).
However, the materials used for washing hands were not very impressive. Of the households that stated
washing hands at all critical times, about 84% used soap to wash hands and about 12.5% used mud for
washing hands. Few households used detergent (2.5%) and few others used only water (0.7%) for hand
washing. About 0.2% households used ash for washing hands.

As an assessment of the sanitation practices adopted, the baseline study examined the place of
defecation by the individual households. It was found that open defecation was practiced in the
Chanderiya locality as 40.7% of the households reported that they defecated in open. The remaining
59% of the households used the toilet at home for defecation.

Analysing the waste disposal mechanisms and practices followed in the study area, it is evident that
there is need to create more awareness and BCC activities on this aspect in the plant area in future. It’s
also important to create a system for waste collection on a day-to-day basis in the study area. This is
because nearly 42% of the households said that they threw their household’s waste in open. Hardly
7.3% households disposed it to the waste collectors and about 49.2% disposed it in the compost pit.
Waste from toilet was disposed by majority of households in septic tanks (59.2%) and a few of them
disposed toilet waste in leach pits (1.7%). However, 33.5% of households disposed toilet waste by
letting it flow out in open ground, drain or road which poses a serious health concern in the villages.
Bathroom and kitchen waste water was also disposed majorly in open drain (71.8%) and open areas
(14.3%). A minor proportion of households disposed this water in soak pit (2.8%) and covered drain
(10.5%).

Energy Use Pattern
In the Chanderiya plant area, electricity was the major source of energy used for lighting in the villages.
A look into the data on energy use pattern in the villages reveals that about 92% households use
electricity for lighting. Among other sources, few households (5.3%) used batteries for lighting, few used
kerosene lamps (1.5%) and few of them (0.2%) used solar energy for lighting.
For cooking purposes multiple sources of fuel were used by households. Fire wood was the most
commonly used fuel (83.2%) for cooking in the villages. About 69% of households also used LPG for
cooking. Cow dung was used by about 27.2% of households for cooking. Measures for replacing the use
of firewood and cow dung that generate smoke with smokeless chulhas is important in the study area.

 Lack of clean and safe water and sanitation system
 No proper garbage carrying or dumping facility
 Lack of proper drinking water facility
The needs of the community during the discussion came up for better drinking water facility, water pipe lines
or RO, water tanker as alternative also emerged as a requirement.
In terms of sanitation facilities, the community expressed the need to provide proper drainage systems and
36
provisioning of carrying garbage from collection to disposal point/ place Provisioning of solar street lights along
with uninterrupted electricity and free electricity to BPL families also came up a priority needs during FGDs
and IDIs in the villages

4. Conclusions
Domain 1 – Sustainable Livelihood
The household assessment of the sustainable livelihood scenario in Chanderiya villages highlighted that
the plant area had 68% households having a single earning member. This phenomenon was observed
across income groups that ranged below INR 50K and up to INR 2.5lakhs.The plant area had young and
vibrant population with 45% being in the economically active age group 26-40 years.
Agriculture was the prime source of income for at least half of the population of the villages. Half of all
households practicing farming were small farmers who owned less than an acre of land.More than half
of the population (53%) was not aware of the different schemes and programmes in the agriculture
sector run by various agencies such as government, NGOs and corporates and hence did not access
them.Availability of surface water for crop irrigation, lower agricultural yield, availability of agricultural
tools, lack of knowledge on selling price for products and knowledge on new technology for farming were
important farming activity related challenges.Availability of fodder for management of livestock was an
issue for close to 30% households.
There was a low awareness level of the employment opportunities available in the plant area.Skill
development opportunities available in the area including PMKVY skill centreswere almost negligible.
Only 7.7% households were aware of skill centres run by HZL.
Domain 2 - Education
The study had identified the concerns on educational requirements in the surveyed villages.
Discontinuation of education was an issue in the surveyed householdswith more children dropping out in
the 15-19 age group. Female drop-out was comparatively higher against their counterparts.Students
who completed/pursuing vocational education/training, under-graduation and post-graduation courses
were negligible in the villages owing to longer distances to these educational institutions.
Major concerns of households regarding schools were on the quality of teaching, improved student-
teacher ratios, improved toilet facilities; develop sports facilities and improvements in food and water
quality if provided by school.Similar concerns were raised by households to improve the quality of
teaching and child care in Anganwadis. They also expressed theneed for health facilities within
Anganwadis, improved toilet facilities and improving their overall infrastructure.
Domain 3 – Health and Nutrition

The study observed that close to three-fourth of the households (74%) in the plant area had to travel
more than 5 kilometers to access a health facility.Overall utilization of family planning services was very
low (37%) and even more concerning was the poor utilization levels of these services by low income
groups. The utilization of ante-natal and post-natal services were also very low (30.2%) in the plant area.
This highlights the need to improve accessibility of maternal health care services in the region. Utilization
of maternal and child health check-up services including immunization services were also low as close
to 40% population in this group did not under-go health checkup 2 months post-delivery or avail
immunization services.
Poor sanitation and hygiene conditions were observed in many surveyed villages which seem to be one
major reason for whigher incidence of dengue/malaria (35.5%) and typhoid (14.5%) reported in HH
survey.Health insurance was not available to any households that sought treatment for their illness.
People spent either Out-of-Pocket or borrowed loans to pay for medical care.
Domain 4 – Energy, Environment, Water and Sanitation

Access to safe drinking water was a major problem for at least 35% of the households in the villages as
they spent considerable time in collecting water from source.Hand washing practices required
improvement as about 12.5% of households used mud and other materials like detergent.Sanitation was
a major concern in the villages in Chanderiya. Open defecation was practiced in 41% households in the
plant area.
Disposal of solid waste was an issue in almost all the surveyed villages as also evident in HH survey
42% HHs were throwing the garbage in open land.The proper liquid waste disposal was also not
available in majority HHs and 33% of surveyed households let the toilet waste to flow out in open
ground/drain/road.
This could lead to serious public health problems for people living in these villages. Absence of covered
drain to dispose waste water from bathroom and kitchen was found in 85% of the households.Indoor air
38
pollution due to increased use of firewood (83.2%) and cow dung (27.2) was an area of health concern
as it canincrease the incidence of respiratory diseases.
Domain 5 – Women related issues

 Lack of skill based vocational trainings
 Lack of employment opportunity for women
 Lack of appropriate education
 Lack of proper health facility
Women empowerment is indispensable for development of any society. Women requires more enabling
environment to make their life better. It has been seen in many occasions that they are undermined and
are not involved in decision making. There is much need for women empowerment programs. The
requirements as emerged during the discussions were for skill based vocational trainings on tailoring,
livelihoods etc. Special emphasis was also given to increase the quality of education. Employment
generation was also discussed as a requirement. Better women health facilities emerged as a special
need.

5. Recommendations
Based the study findings the key recommendations in various thematic areas are described below:
Sustainable Livelihood
 Considering the large proportion (51%) of households with annual income levels less than INR
50K and up to INR 1 lakhand 68% of households having only one earning member, there is a
felt need for additional support for sustainable livelihood in the plant area. It is also imperative to
enhance the skill base of socially vulnerable groups and create employability for them. The
suggested measures are:
→ Women empowerment program becomes very important to make the women members sharing
the financial burden of the household.
→ Skill development trainings will play a pivotal role in increasing the revenue. Awareness level of
the community must increase about the Vedanta skill development centres as only 7.7% of the
HH knew about the centres
 Agriculture forms the basis of food security globally. For developing agrarian economies,
agriculture productivity is central to poverty alleviation and a key driver of growth. Hence, its
enhancement and promotion with allied activities like livestock & livelihood development is key
to the area of study
 Identification of progressive farmers and formation of their groups and linking this group with the
existing agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry institutions run by govt., or other
agencies for training on aspects like low cost technology and appropriate sources for procuring
equipment, high quality seeds and other things
 Awareness about various schemes and technology is required as only 47% of the agricultural
household accessed programs and schemes. This could be due to lack of awareness of the
various schemes available. Planned interventions for proper channelization of the various
schemes such that they are beneficial to the households are essential by possibly creating
single window information system. In addition, capacity building exercise should also be
planned for improving the use of new farming techniques
 The government provides for several schemes specially to promote progressive farming. The
farmers can be facilitated to access the schemes and further register and link with the low-cost
loans of the banks and enrolment with online market portals
 Organization of camps to address breed-able bovines’ fertility and gynecology issues, treat such
animals and create awareness among farmer about best practices of dairying could be taken up
 Considering the needs, it is suggested that periodic awareness and service camps to be
organized on agriculture as well as animal husbandry themes. These camps may provide one to
one and mass awareness in community on agriculture and livestock related aspects. The camp
should also provide services like demo and provisioning of good quality seeds, low cost
agriculture technology, on-site veterinary services to address the livestock related problems.
Education
 The drop-outs (9.8%) and proportion of female illiterates (9.6%) in the 15-19 age group the
need for initiatives that are critical to keep girls in schoolsand to create alternate mechanisms to
streamline drop outs back into the education system.Accessing high school education was an
issue in many of the villages. To address this and to motivate the drop-outs to complete education,
the CSR team may investigate the following options:
→ Explore possibility of setting up of high schools in areas in collaboration with government as well as
increasing the quality of existing primary schools
→ Scholarships to poor and meritorious students for various higher education including vocational and
professional courses
→ Explore possibility of providing free bus passes or subsidized transport costs for students who wish
to pursue graduate, post graduate, vocational training courses in neighboring towns
 Work along with School Management Committee for improvement the student-teacher ratio and
the quality of teaching. Improvements in the sports, infrastructure and toilet facilities, and
improvements in quality of food and water available in schools. There is also requirement of
better library and sports facilities, paid tuition classes, free remedial classes, computer classes,
school transport, availability of sanitary napkins, PwD-friendly infrastructure etc. in the schools
 To improve the quality of education in schools, enthusiastic teachers from government
institutions should be identified and sent for short-term training courses. These trainings can be
40
availed in course run by government and private/NGO institutions in nearby areas and can be
sponsored by the company. These teachers should be sent for exposure visit to some model
schools imparting quality education. These teachers can serve as resource persons and train
other teachers in their schools and serve as change agents
 Short crash courses based on NTT (Nursery Teachers Training) be introduced for
Anganwadicentre workers to address the issue of quality of teaching and care.
Health and Nutrition
 Accessibility to health facilities is a major issue for 75% of households in the plant area.The
company could facilitate with private practitioners in the plant vicinity and arrange for medical
camps in the villages. Mobile Medical Vans can serve as a feasible solution to reach those who
do not have access to facilities and to reach out to large sections in the villages who might
require medical services.
 Given the low utilization of family planning services across all social groups, it is critical to
generate demand for these servicesthrough effective behavior change communication
strategies. These messages should convey effectively the importance of family planning and its
benefits on their health and well-being and its impact on their overall productivity and increased
income levels.
 The plant area also had 14% adolescent population and 12% child population below the age of
six. The company may plan and strategies mechanisms to integrate adolescents in the region
with the Rashtriya Kishore SwasthyaKaryakram (RKSK) of the National Health Mission.
Similarly, children below the age of five may also be mapped and integrated into the Rashtriya
Bal SwasthyaKaryakram (RBSK) to enjoy the benefits of this program.
 Poor sanitation facilities have impacted the health of the region. High rate of Dengue/Malaria
and Typhoid have been reported. Improving the sanitation conditions is critical to improve the
overall health of the population in the plant are. Awareness on various individual level sanitation
behaviorsand facilitating the community to implement in their surroundings should be a focus
area for the company. Advocating with the public health department of the local self-government
for fogging/spraying to keep away mosquitoes and for frequent inspection of state of sanitation
in the villages will benefit the community.
 As there is no health insurance available to the people in the villages around the plant area,
people pay huge amount out of pocket for medical care. The plant could seriously work out a
strategy to register households into the National Health Protection Scheme under the
Ayushman Bharat Initiative. Integrating more people into the SHGs and exploring the possibility
of implementing a community health insurance scheme that can take care of the health needs
of the community can be explored by the company.
Energy, Environment, Water and Sanitation
 Awareness camps/campaigns should be organized on water, sanitation, hygiene aspects. Such

camps should have demonstration material including audio-visuals to make community aware
on importance of safe drinking water and sanitation, low cost water treatment options, low cost
toilet models etc.
 Construction and usage of toilets is a huge requirement in the region. Depending on the
availability of toilets in the household, the CSR team should assess the requirement and
engage in provision for toilet construction at households.
→ Under Swachh Bharat Mission, the government is widely promoting open defecation free
villages/blocks/districts as well as solid liquid waste management under ODF plus initiative. It
would be ideal if one or more villages may be adopted by HZL in the area and can be
developed as model village(s) on water, sanitation and hygiene aspects.
→ HZL team may discuss and offer the district/block administration to be partner and support in
selective components of SBM based on the local needs. This may be related to construction of
toilets or sponsoring/supporting low cost community based solid waste management plants or
awareness building on toilet usage and solid liquid waste management along with measures for
behavioral changes
Women Needs
41
 Skill based vocational trainings on tailoring and embroidery work. Providing basic orientation on
entrepreneurship, including identification of business opportunities, basics of marketing,
handholding in identification of local business opportunities, creating a business plan and
mobilizing credit without seeking collaterals
 Keeping in view the need reflected in the study, in-depth profiling may be carried out as a
separate small study for mapping and profiling of women seeking livelihood. Based on profiling
they can be linked with the existing vocational training centres/skill development centre
(accredited to NSDC) running in nearby areas to the villages.
