Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R)

    ESG & Governance

    Measures to move people displaced by a project and restore or improve their homes, livelihoods and living standards.

    India's 2013 land acquisition law sets rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements for affected families, alongside compensation. Poor R&R is a common cause of protests and project delays. The BRSR asks about projects requiring R&R and the families affected.
