Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Tuesday said Maharatna public sector undertaking Coal India Ltd (CIL) has agreed to offer work contracts up to Rs 1 crore to those who will be affected by its projects in the state to provide livelihood support to them. The CM said the decision was taken after he met with Union Coal Minister Pralhad Joshi in November 2021.
“Coal India will award work contracts up to Rs 1 crore to support the livelihood of people who will be displaced due to land acquisition for mining projects. It will also promote entrepreneurship among them,” Hemant said.
