Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R) Policy - Ntpc

2.0 Job Opportunities with NTPC
As mentioned earlier, due to the state of the art technology direct job opportunities in NTPC
are severely restricted. However, NTPC shall give preference to the affected families-at
least one person per nuclear family-in providing employment in the project, subject to the
availability of vacancies and suitability of the affected person for the employment.
Recruitment will be governed by the HR policies in this regard and reservation policy of
GOI. All unskilled jobs will be generally reserved for PAPs subject to reservation policies of
GOI. Preference in other workmen categories would be also extended w.r.t employment to
PAPs.
2.1 ITI training at NTPC cost
Employment will generally be considered in the specific projects for which land is being
acquired. Since PAP candidates with requisite qualifications are not readily available,
specially in Hydro projects, NTPC may endeavour to select the best available candidates and
train them at ITI at NTPC cost before considering them for regular employment against
available vacancies.
3.0 Employment with contracting agencies
3.1 During the construction phase of the project, ample opportunities will be available with the
contracting agencies and other associates where the PAPs could seek employment. Further,
opportunities are also available during the operational phase of the project.
3.2 NTPC will make efforts for provisions kept in conditions of contract to meet upto 80%
requirement of the unskilled work force of the contracting agencies preferably from amongst
the PAPs / land oustees and local population based on the suitability as may be judged by the
contracting agencies. Preference will be given for PAP workforce in other categories.
3.3 Towards this, specific provision will be incorporated in the contracts being awarded by the
NTPC including those being awarded from Corporate Centre, Regions and Projects.
Effective system will be placed in place in the projects for making this clause effective. PIC
will be the focal point for such activity. NTPC will also make efforts for upgradation of skills
in the PAP workforce to maximize the number of PAPs and their dependants who can be
engaged in this opportunity. Though maximum such opportunities will be available during
construction period, but it is expected that a sizeable number of PAPs and their dependants
can be facilitated through such programme during project operation also.
4.0 Allotment of shops / Kiosks
4.1 NTPC develops shopping complexes and kiosks in its townships to cater to the needs of its
employees. These shops provide good opportunity for income generation. NTPC Project
will reserve 50% of the shops and 100% kiosks for allotment to PAPs / land oustees.
