Jha, Srirang. (2003). Displacement and Rehabilitation: A Study of Kahalgaon Power Plant. Bhagalpur: Sakshi.This monograph presents an incisive account of the deplorable socio-economic conditions of the people of more than 50 villages affected by KahalgaonPower Plant located in Bhagalpur district of Bihar. Due to inadequate compensation and absence of a holistic rehabilitation package, majority of the project affected people failed to reconstruct their livelihoods once their pieces of land -the ultimate source of their subsistence -were acquired by the district administration in 1986-87.
