In a rapidly developing nation like India, infrastructure and industrial projects often clash with the rights of vulnerable populations. Social Impact Assessments (SIAs) serve as critical tools to ensure that progress does not come at the cost of social justice and human dignity.

🔍 Why SIAs Matter:

  • They identify how land acquisition affects livelihoods, culture, and environment.

  • They ensure transparency and informed consent in affected communities.

  • They help design effective resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) plans under the RFCTLAR&R Act, 2013.

🧭 CDECS Expertise:

With deep experience in conducting SIAs across Rajasthan and other states, CDECS supports policy-compliant, people-centric development. We integrate community voices, spatial data, and legal frameworks to present holistic, actionable findings.

Responsible development begins with understanding its impact.
