3.1.8 Social responsibility studies
The main aim of the small and medium project in social context is employment to the nearby
people, a detailed study should be incorporated in the EIA process to find out the social
benefit of the project such as employment, revenue generation, social upliftment, land value
modification, impact on environmental ethics and remedial measures should also be
suggested if there are any issues in the findings. If the project supports people in the nearby
locality to the maximum and with less resource consumption immediate approval should be
given in environmental impact statement (EIS). Unlike generic EIA process in modified EIA
more importance is to be given to find out the social impact analysis. The detailed flow chart
of the various activities to be done in the modified Environmental impact assessment is given
in figure 2 which shows the areas where the modifications are to be done to make the EIA
process friendly to small and medium level projects also.
