Report No. 16518: Implementation Completion Report India Coal Mining And Coal Quality Improvement Project, (LOAN 2796-IN).

This is the Implementation Completion Report (ICR) for the Coal Mining and Coal Quality Improvement Project in India (Loan 2796-IN) for the amount of US$340 million equivalent. The report suggests that persuading project-affected people that they can benefit in a well-planned and mutually agreed resettlement scheme will make land acquisition far easier. The success of the 'model' Tapanpur resettlement village has yet to be fully proven, but present indications are that it represents a major step in the right direction.
