The mining project entails large-scale deforestation and displacement of tribal families, disrupting their traditional way of life.

5Environmental Protectors and Civil Society:

2Vigilant demonstration of ecological sustainability

3Ensuring land degradation and forest loss is not detrimental to area

b) The dilemmas are:

1Profit vs People - Tribal alienation will harm them but secure critical resources

2De-difference vs efficient delivery - Central pressure to quickly permit mining but may increase tribal harm

3Tribal natural right vs National Interest - Tribals have ancestral rights over forest and its produce but this will hamper securing critical resources

4Legal vs fair compensation - Company upholding legal spirit of compensation BUT the delivery of this is lacking and not morally fair

5GDP vs citizen welfare - GDP will increase by mining BUT environment and quality of life of many people will go down

6Constitutional vs Moral Duty - Mr. Verma constitutionally required to execute orders of govt BUT morality of constitution → demands putting welfare above all

Mr. Verma should exercise care and utilize ethical principles like Gandhi's Talisman to decide on a mutually beneficial method
