  • Other
 Yes Project will result in further growth of the surrounding areas by increased direct & indirect employment opportunities in the region including ancillary development. Based on the special skilled and academic profile available the local people will be preferred for employment. This will contribute in raising the socio- economic status & standard of living of the nearby villagers.
9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which could have an impact on the environment Yes The after use of site planned would be helpful to the society, owing to better greenery and development of water reservoir supporting the surrounding localities.
9.3 Set a precedent for later developments Yes A better after use scenario, which is likely to increase aesthetic beauty of the area in addition to benefit of greenery and water reservoir, would set precedence for subsequent entrepreneurs who venture such projects.
9.4 Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects Yes The project will have positive effects due to better infrastructure and direct employment of local persons and generation of indirect employment due to the project.
