1.2 Location
Government of Kerala had accorded administrative sanction vide to acquire a total
area of 313.81 Acres of land from Koodali, Pattannur and Keezhallur Villages of
Thalassery Taluk in Kannur District for establishing an Industrial Park by
KINFRA.
1.3. Size and attributes of land acquisition
An extent of 313.81 acres of land under survey Nos. 84, 85, 86pt, 1pt, 2pt from
Keezhallur Village, survey Nos. 73pt, 72pt, 167, 175, 176pt, 177/1, 3pt, 178pt,

Kannur district is required for the implementation the proposed project. The
proposed are is situated 7 kms away from Pazhassi Dam.
The land identified for the project of establishing the Industrial Park belongs to
around 78 families, within which around 10 residential structures are identified.
The area mainly include cashew plantation and left over land after laterite stone
mining. The number of houses to be acquired may change once the final plan is
prepared.
1.4 Alternatives considered
The project is intended for developing various infrastructural and business ventures
near to the Kannur International Airport. The implementation of the Industrial park
can cater the development of the area. As the project is intended to improve
infrastructure facilities near to the airport, no other alternatives are considered.
1.5 Social impacts
around 78families, within which around 10 residential structures are identified. The
lion’s share of the area is rich with Cashew farms. A good portion of the area is the
land remaining after mining of Laterite stones. The project area is around 28km
away from District Collectorate and is bordered by the Pazhassi Dam constructed
on the Irrikkur River to the south. The number of houses to be acquired may change
once the final plan is prepared.
1.6 Mitigation measures
prepared.
However, by considering the following measures the authorities can mitigate and
compensate the possible negative impacts of the land acquisition.
Compensation for the land owners as per the Right to Fair Compensation
and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act
2013.
Resettlement and Rehabilitation procedure as per the Policy issued by
Revenue(B) Department, Government of Kerala vide

resettlement package for land acquisition in the state in lieu of RFCTLARR
Act 2013.
Reconstruction of livelihood of people is an important factor in this project.
Majority of the directly affected families are relying on the project area for
their livelihood through cashew farm and rubber plantations. The loss of
these assets will cause them a significant impact.

that will be created by the establishment of the proposed project. Through
this, the impact of losing livelihood as a result of land acquisition can be
minimised.
The successful rehabilitation of the directly affected families are the other
major concern in this land acquisition. The authorities should make sure that
the displaced families will get proper rehabilitation.

EVALUATION
10.1 Key monitoring and evaluative indicators
Monitoring is a long-term process, which should begin from the starting of the
project and should continue throughout the life of the project. Its purpose is to
establish benchmarks so that the nature and magnitude of anticipated social impacts
can be continually assessed. Monitoring involves the continuous or periodic review
to determine the effectiveness of recommended mitigation measures. The types of
parameters that can be monitored may include mitigation measures or design
features, or actual impacts. All the mitigation measures stated in Chapter 7 should
be considered as the indicators for evaluation.
10.2 Reporting mechanisms and monitoring roles

ON ACQUISITION
11.1 Final conclusions on:Assessment of public purpose, less displacing
alternatives, minimum requirements of land, the nature and intensity of social
impacts, and viable mitigation measures and the extent to which mitigation
measures will address costs
The Government of Kerala has initiated the construction of Industrial Park by
KINFRA under the IDZ scheme in Koodali, Pattannur and Keezhallur Villages of
Thalassery Taluk in Kannur District. The project aims at improving the industrial
facilities of the District thereby increasing the overall development of the State.
This will in turn increase the employment opportunities to the populace.
Establishment of industrial park can attract more investments in the state thus
strengthening the economy as well.
proposed are is situated 7 kms away from Pazhassi Dam.
prepared.
The alignment of the proposed project was designed with an effort to reduce the
number of people who will be affected with the land acquisition. However, through
the proper measures as per RFCTLARR Act 2013 the negative impacts of land
acquisition should be mitigated.
11.2 The above analysis will use the equity principle as a framework of analysis for
presenting a final recommendation on whether the acquisition should go
through or not.
Comparing/weighing the positive against the negative impacts, it can be observed
that even though rehabilitation of displaced families and the recreation of livelihood
are needs to be provided to the directly affected people, the implementation of the
project will result in improving the overall development of Kannur district. The
project will attract business ventures and other developments all around the world
and further it will create more livelihood opportunities for the local people in the
area. The owners of the land are supporting the project and they stated that they have
no issues to handover the land if they get proper compensation and rehabilitation.
Thus, it can be concluded that the former outweighs the latter reaffirming the
identified site as the most suitable and apt one for the project of establishing the
Industrial Park. The families that are affected would require adequate and fair
compensation and proper rehabilitation. The area which is considered for acquisition
is mainly used for cashew plantation as well as for mining laterite stones. So, the
authorities should make proper action plan to reconstruct the livelihood opportunities
for the people who solely relied on the project area for livelihood activities. It is
observed that many of the negative impacts highlighted can be minimized or reduced
with effective and relevant mitigation measures and strategies mentioned. Thus the
study recommends the acquisition of land by providing proper compensation to the
affected people.
