Abstract
Abstract The large-scale construction of developmental projects such as hydropower projects, mines, national highways, industries, etc in the tribal area has put an ambiguous position in the social inclusion and social exclusion of tribal communities across India. Although the development projects are meant to improve the infrastructure along with the standard of living of the people, it leads to massive displacement many times. Development projects are crucial in creating job opportunities, building new skills, and increasing income and consumption levels, but sometimes they can have more adverse effects that need to be addressed(Gautam, 2017). The development may sometimes bring disparity between the people and places. Development activities may be socially inclusive for the affected populations if handled properly. These projects have also brought about many socio-economic changes related to family type, income, housing patterns, social ties, mores, and culture in the lifestyle of the people affected by the project. The present study is an attempt to study the demographic profile of the projects affected families viz -a viz positive impact of hydropower projects on the livelihoods of project-affected people. Hydropower projects have marginally increased job opportunities for people affected by the project. Unemployment was not a major problem in the area affected by the project as agriculture and horticulture are the two main sources of income. Since the projects were installed and put into operation, the livelihoods and marketing opportunities for the agricultural products in the project area have increased. The results of the study show that in order to get the maximum benefit from the hydropower projects, many joint families have broken into small families, which has weakened the social support systems. Even, after hydropower projects are built, access to educational facilities in project-affected areas is difficult due to heavy snowfall and road closures in winter. The living environment in the region is changing. From this it can be concluded that the installation and commissioning of hydroelectric power projects have improved the road infrastructure, which indirectly affected the housing conditions of the people affected by the projects.
