In addition, institutional credit support of up to ₹3 lakh will be made available through a formal credit pipeline to facilitate income generation. Comprehensive infrastructure development at the new resettlement sites will include roads, electricity, water supply, sewerage, schools, hospitals, skill development centres, and community halls. These provisions will be implemented in line with recommendations from the Committee for Implementation of the Revised Jharia Master Plan. To promote self-reliance among relocated communities, a dedicated Jharia Alternative Livelihoods Rehabilitation Fund will be created. Skill development programmes in collaboration with Multi Skill Development Institutes will also be rolled out across the region. The approval marks a renewed effort to address the challenges in the Jharia coal belt and ensure long-term resettlement and economic support for families impacted by decades of underground fires and land instability.
