Our Economists, sociologists, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialists work together to profile communities, map vulnerable groups, quantify asset losses, and design fair, transparent compensation frameworks that withstand statutory scrutiny and public challenge. The result is a community-backed and legally robust roadmap that lets projects proceed without social flashpoints.

Where our SIA adds value:

• Highways & Expressways – Green-field corridors bisecting farms, Settlements and tribal areas

• Rail & Metro – Depots, Yards and Station redevelopments in dense urban fabric

• Energy & Transmission Lines – Tower sites, ROW strips, Livelihood impacts on hill or forest communities

• Ports & Coastal Projects – Fisherfolk displacement, CRZ-zone      livelihood restoration

• Urban Redevelopment & Smart-City Works – Informal      settlements, Street-vendor relocation plans

How we deliver:

1. Baseline profiling – household surveys, focus-group discussions and asset inventories captured on tablet apps; geo-tagged to cadastral sheets.

2. Impact  quantification – overlay alignment options on population      data, land records and income sources; flag vulnerable groups and cultural sites.

3. Mitigation & R&R planning – draft entitlement matrix, costed      resettlement layout, skill-up programmes and grievance-redress mechanism.

4. Stakeholder engagement – bilingual brochures, village sabhas and      helplines log concerns and feed revisions.

5. Statutory submission – final SIA/R&R report with      compliance check-list for Section 4(2) public hearings or RFCTLARR 2013      clearance.

Why Monarch has the edge:

All socio-economic fieldwork, GIS mapping and legal drafting is done in-house, so a design shift instantly updates affected-person counts, entitlement costs and consultation plans. Our digital survey tools cut enumeration errors below 1 %, and dedicated grievance teams keep post-hearing objections to a minimum—yielding a > 95 % first-submission clearancerate from Collectors and Expert Groups across five states.

Representative projects:

• Nagpur  – Gondia Expressway (MSRDC) – village-level SIA covering 1 804 ha and 63 villages; entitlement matrix accepted without      modification.

• Versova  – Bandra Sea Link (MSRDC) – fisherfolk livelihood study and gender action plan integrated with the project’s EIA/CRZ      approval.
