## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF COAL AND MINES (SHRI G. KISHAN REDDY)

(a):  Coal Land Acquisition and Management Portal (CLAMP) is a digital, unified platform created by  the  Ministry  of  Coal  for  land  acquisition  under  Coal  Bearing  Areas  (Acquisition  and Development) Act, 1957 (CBA Act). It acts as a central repository in digitised form for land records with respect to the land acquired under the CBA Act and contributes to citizen-centric governance. Affected persons can verify the uploaded information, check the status of their claims or see how their grievance is being handled.

Koyla  Shakti  Dashboard  is  a  centralized  platform  to  provide  real-time  insights  into  coal production, logistics and consumption. Key features of this portal are improved visibility across coal supply chain, effective monitoring of coal logistics, planning & action for decision making, identifying bottlenecks & delays for faster resolution and enable integration among systems.

(b): CLAMP is designed to streamline and digitize the entire process of land acquisition under the CBA Act,  starting  from  submission  of  application,  uploading  of  land  details,  processing  and approval of application, tracking various steps of acquisition progress, possession and compensation  etc.,  monitoring  and  tracking  of  payment  of  compensation  to  landowners,  and monitoring of Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) of affected families.

(c): No complaint has been received regarding the operation of the CLAMP portal.

(d): Koyla Shakti Dashboard has integrated data of coal production and supply chain from coal PSUs  and  private  mines,  Railways,  ports,  power  plants  (CEA),  customs,  MoRTH  (V AHAN, FASTag) and State Governments (e-Khanij portal). The Koyla Shakti Dashboard integrates key operational  parameters  such  as  real  time  coal  production,  dispatch,  mine-end  stocks,  rake allocation and loading performance, rail movement status, port stock and vessel schedules, and power plant  coal  consumption  and  critical  stock  levels. These  datasets  provide  an  end-to  end view of the coal supply chain for coordinated decision-making.

(e): Coal Land Acquisition and Management Portal (CLAMP) is designed to enhance coordination among coal companies and various agencies and provide data integration and monitoring so as to contribute to improved transparency and accountability, and reduced delays.

Koyla  Shakti  Dashboard  has  been  designed  to  enhance  real-time  coordination  among  coal companies, Railways, ports and power utilities. It integrates production, dispatch, rake movement and  stock  data  on  a  single  digital  platform,  enabling  faster  and  more  efficient  inter-agency decision-making.
