Odisha Government Revises Resettlement and Rehabilitation Rates for Displaced Families
The Odisha government has revised its Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy rates, effective from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2028, increasing financial assistance for project-affected families. Increases include self-relocation aid, housing construction, agricultural land grants, maintenance allowances, and transportation support. One-time employment compensation for displaced families by industrial and mining projects has also been updated. However, some landowners have expressed concerns that the revised compensation remains insufficient amid ongoing resistance to land acquisition.
