Seven years ago today, the new state of Jharkhand was carved out of southern Bihar. The creation of a ‘tribal state’ after years of struggle fulfilled the people’s long cherished aspirations. Amidst the celebrations, there was a new sense of hope: the state was endowed with an abundance of minerals and dense forests; it also had many good schools and universities, and a number of strong non-government organizations which could help improve lives at the grassroots. In the early years after the state’s creation, poverty declined rapidly and per capita growth increased, although somewhat erratically. More children were enrolled in primary schools, and some key health indicators improved significantly - especially the vaccination of children and the prevention of major diseases.
The challenges, of course, were also well known. The state had seen little development over the years, and there was a very high incidence of poverty. The large majority of the people were dependent on agriculture which remained almost uniformly at the mercy of the rains. The state’s economy was also polarized with a sharp rural-urban divide. Initial health and education indicators in the state were also markedly unfavorable when compared to major Indian states as well as the all-India average. These included the health of mothers and children, as well as literacy rates.
But, it remains a cause for concern that seven years after the state’s creation, Jharkhand continues to have one of the highest rates of poverty in India, despite its considerable economic potential. The state has not been able to take advantage of its vast mineral wealth, and continues to remain backward, with poor urban and rural infrastructure.
So, what needs to be done to develop a mineral-rich state like Jharkhand, where the vast majority of the people are poor and dependent on rain-fed agriculture? On this, there are two opposing views. One view holds that the development of the mining sector can usher in a new decade of development in the state. It believes that mining - which in Jharkhand contributes the largest share of mineral Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amongst all Indian states – can provide the natural launching pad for faster economic growth, and generate the resources needed for broad-based social development.
The opposing view holds that the potential risks associated with the mining sector are high. Instead, it suggests that agriculture-led growth can reduce poverty rapidly and contribute to human development. This line of thinking holds that there are high risks associated with the unregulated development of the mining sector in conditions of relatively poor governance. It also suggests that the development of mining can have adverse social and environmental fall-outs. It holds that without a separate capital development fund for mineral revenues that is exclusively earmarked for rural and social development, the prospect of funds being used for other purposes, as well as the chances of corruption, are high. This can have the opposite of the desired effect, and eventually lead to the destruction of livelihoods rather than their creation. Hence, in this view, mining is not the natural launch pad for growth after all; instead, given the adverse conditions of governance, agriculture provides a much safer option.
At the request of the state government, a recent World Bank report titled, “Jharkhand: Addressing the Challenges of Inclusive Development” explored the strengths and weaknesses of the two options. Based on its findings, the report suggested striking a balance between the two strategies and adopting a middle path. It suggested that while mining and broad-based industrial progress could generate resources and lead to growth over the medium to long-term, in the short to medium term it is the agricultural and rural sector that needs to be continuously addressed.
However, for any development strategy to be successful, several issues need to be tackled up front. First, there is a need to focus on institution building and putting systems in place that encourage investment, improve Jharkhand’s image, and reduce the risk of doing business in the state; these are central to promoting growth and reducing poverty. Second, there is a need to increase labor productivity in agriculture where most of the people are employed. There is also a need to increase off-farm economic opportunities in the rural areas, especially through the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as to enhance the people’s capabilities to take advantage of these opportunities. Third, each of the economic sectors should be able to grow to its long-term potential, including mining and mineral-based industries. However, efforts to ‘force’ development of a particular sector without addressing the issues of sector governance can backfire, especially in the context of a rather sharp rural/ urban divide, and Jharkhand’s polarized economy.
It is not the lack of knowledge of what needs to be done that is constraining the growth of the state. The challenges - of improving the state finances, addressing administrative shortcomings, and effectively managing the state’s large endowment of forests and mines - are all well known. However, political commitment is needed to make development happen in the shortest possible time. There is need to ensure that the political gains achieved through years of struggle are not lost and start yielding significant economic benefits. It is time that the voices of the left-out majority of the state are finally heard and their problems acted upon, and that a faster and inclusive growth strategy finally ushers in a new decade development for Jharkhand. Then only will the long cherished hopes of the people be fully realized.

Jharkhand project of Sinosteel
SINOSTEEL PROJECT TO START IN APRIL
SINOSTEEL, the $16-billion state-owned Chinese steel major, will start work on its proposed unit in West Bengal in April. The new unit due to come up in the port town of Haldia will be Sinosteel's first manufacturing presence in India. Sinosteel, which plans an investment of Rs 200 crore, will manufacture cold forged steel rolls used in cold rolling mills. "Construction work on our plant in West Bengal will start from April. We have got possession of 30 acres at Haldia on which the plant will come up. We have already placed orders for equipment which will be shipped from China." Sinosteel India MD Hangseng Wang said. He is in the city to attend a steel seminar. The meet will focus on bringing steel and allied sectors of China and India closer. The Haldia unit will have a capacity of 5,000 tonne and will meet one-third of the requirements in the Indian steel industry. The investment in West Bengal is a part of the $2-biIlion package being readied by Sinosteel for stepping up its manufacturing presence in India. As part of this project, Sinosteel had signed a MoU last year with the Jharkhand government for a 2-million tonne (ml) integrated steel plant. "All necessary approvals from external affairs, finance and steel ministry have come through. We would like to start work as soon as we get the land," Mr Wang said. Sinosteel, which is into mining, design and manufacturing of steel plant equipment, has been involved in construction of almost all major plants in China. The proposed project is likely to come up in Silli-Chandil area near Ranchi. Sinosteel is looking at 300 mt of iron ore reserves for which the company will apply for a mining lease. "However, we will not wait for getting a mining lease before we start our operations. Instead, we will stick to our schedule. If necessary, we would source iron ore from private mines in and around the area," Mr Wang added. China, which produced 489 mt of steel in 2007, is the largest steel producer in the world. "We can do a lot for the fast growing Indian steel industry," Mr Wang added.
China’s state owned Sinosteel has decided to infuse Rs 200 crore to set up a manufacturing plant for cold forged steel rolls at Haldia in West Bengal.

Land acquisition in trouble in Jharkhand
170,000 jobs and Rs 180,000 cr of projects are in danger of collapsing for want of around 30,000 acres of land.
Nine mega-projects in the mineral-rich Chhota Nagpur plateau, which could add substantially to India’s metal output and create a large number of jobs, are stuck over messy issues related to land acquisition, rehabilitation of displaced people, mining rights and plain politics.
The statistics on their current state are startling. Only about a quarter of the 40,000-odd acres required for the nine projects is in the possession of the promoters, just one of them has been recommended for grant of licence to prospect for iron ore mines and none is anywhere close to meeting their completion deadline (all nine projects had talked of going on stream in 2009 and 2010).
This is the state of affairs two to three years after leading Indian business houses like Tatas, Ruias and Jindals, as well as multinational corporations like Arcelor Mittal and Posco signed MoUs with Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand for these projects.
At stake is annual production of 48.10 million tonnes of steel, 2 million tonnes of alumina and 760,000 tonnes of aluminum. To put it in perspective, the country currently produces around 32 million tonnes of steel, three million tonnes of alumina and 1.3 million tonnes of aluminum.
The proposed investment in the nine projects is Rs 1,77,188 crore. It will create employment for close to 1,70,000 people, 60 to 70 per cent of which will be indirect, and result in an annual revenue of Rs 17,619 crore for the centre and Rs 81,624 crore for the three states.
However, the progress has been tardy. The land required for the nine projects is 39,909 acres. Of this, only 11,126 acres, or 27.87 per cent, has been acquired. The land sought for these projects includes private land, government land as well as forest land.
Companies implementing these projects said that land owners, as well as squatters on government-owned land, are asking for more than the prevailing rates. For example, at Paradip,where Posco and Essar are putting up their projects, the price of private land two years back, when the projects were announced, was between Rs 1 to 2 lakh per acre and this has now gone up to Rs 6 lakh per acre. But villagers are demanding Rs 40 lakh per acre.
Those who have encroached on government land are demanding Rs 25 lakh per acre, though the prevailing price is as low as Rs 25,000 per acre. They are also demanding rehabilitation including jobs in these projects, though the present resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) policy prescribes such benefits only to genuinely displaced persons and not to encroachers. Also, Orissa alone, of the three states, has an R&R policy in place, though thousands of families in the three states will be displaced.
The problem is not small. The extent of government land required for all the nine projects is not known as the land and socio-economic survey for none of the projects is complete so far. But, experts said, the acquisition of government land, which otherwise should have been smooth, has become cumbersome because of encroachment and presence of patches of forest land within it.
For Posco, out of the total 4,004 acres it requires, as much as 3,566 acres is government land which includes 3,090 acres of forest land. For the Arcelor Mittal project, 3,250 acres of the total 7,750 acres is government land. For Tata Steel’s Kalinga Nagar project, the entire 3,040 acres is government land but is encroached by locals who sold their land to the government in the mid-1990s.
Then there is forest land. The Arcelor Mittal project includes 431.55 acres, Jindal Steel and Power 400 acres and Essar 30 acres. These companies have all applied to the Centre for conversion of this land for industrial use, though no permission has so far been granted.
If this is the extent of problems, why, then, are the companies still interested in the projects? It is for the access to the rich mineral deposits in the region that these projects will get. Both Posco and Arcelor-Mittal have gone to the press saying that without mining leases they will not go ahead with their projects. The iron ore reserves sought for captive use by these mega-projects add up to 2.14 billion tonnes over a period of 30 years (the country’s recoverable reserves stand at 12.3 billion tonnes) and six million tonnes of bauxite annually.
However, only Posco’s name has been recommended for the grant of a licence for prospecting of iron ore deposits in Orissa. This, too has, been contested in the courts by the Kudermukh Iron Ore Company Ltd and other claimants for the same property, delaying the grant of the licence.
Orissa is sitting on about a third of the country’s recoverable iron ore deposits. But for each mine, there are at least 200 claimants. As and when a prospecting licence is handed out for any mine, more litigation is expected.
Queering the pitch further for the mega-projects are the anti-industry lobbies headed by NGOs, civil rights groups, ultra-left organisations as well as mainline political parties sitting in opposition in respective states. In the name of protecting the rights of local people and opposing their displacement on humanitarian grounds, they have built up mass movements at different places — often turning to violent clashes with the administration, as it happened in Kalinga Nagar and Nandigram — which have hindered the progress of these projects significantly.
At both the Posco site and Kalinga Nagar, more than a dozen ultra-left organisations and NGOs are actively working in tandem with the local anti-project groups to not only stall work on the projects but also hinder the process of rehabilitation of the affected people by the administration.
On the other hand, observers have said that had it not been for the ruckus raised over the Kalinga Nagar firing, which claimed the lives of 14 anti-industry tribal agitators, the Orissa government would not have come out with such a comprehensive R&R policy which is acclaimed as being one of the best in the country.
The Congress is driving the Posco project at the Centre, branding it the largest single-location FDI venture in the country. The same party, sitting in opposition in Orissa, is the opposing the project in the state because of political compulsions. “We have to oppose it, otherwise the ruling party will take all the mileage”, says a senior MLA of the party. “Of course, it is another matter that we ourselves would not like to let such huge investment shift out of the state if we are elected to power tomorrow,” he confided.
The fate of the nine projects, meanwhile, hangs in balance.

In the name of protecting the rights of local people and opposing their displacement on humanitarian grounds, they have built up mass movements at different places — often turning to violent clashes with the administration, as it happened in Kalinga Nagar and Nandigram — which have hindered the progress of these projects significantly.
At both the Posco site and Kalinga Nagar, more than a dozen ultra-left organisations and NGOs are actively working in tandem with the local anti-project groups to not only stall work on the projects but also hinder the process of rehabilitation of the affected people by the administration.
On the other hand, observers have said that had it not been for the ruckus raised over the Kalinga Nagar firing, which claimed the lives of 14 anti-industry tribal agitators, the Orissa government would not have come out with such a comprehensive R&R policy which is acclaimed as being one of the best in the country.
The Congress is driving the Posco project at the Centre, branding it the largest single-location FDI venture in the country. The same party, sitting in opposition in Orissa, is the opposing the project in the state because of political compulsions. “We have to oppose it, otherwise the ruling party will take all the mileage”, says a senior MLA of the party. “Of course, it is another matter that we ourselves would not like to let such huge investment shift out of the state if we are elected to power tomorrow,” he confided.
The fate of the nine projects, meanwhile, hangs in balance.
