The second batch of army men expects the companies to queue up when their course ends in September. For many of the participants, who are between 27 and 55 years old, the course is an opportunity to break out of a mould.

“There is a notion that former armymen are best suited to jobs in administration or security. But army officers are capable of much more,” said brigadier Atul Mishra, a part of the second batch.

The 55-year-old wants to put into practice in the corporate world what he has learnt during his 34 years in the army. “Management is what we have been doing all our lives though we did not have formal education in the field.”

Major Biju, a member of the first batch, felt that it helped him get acquainted with the “terminology and technicalities” of the corporate world.

MUMBAI: In all the excitement about SEZ and the acquisition of agricultural land, something that perhaps is not quite thought the socio-economic impact on human beings. A study by Mumbai-Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), attempted to do so, and pointed out that the discrepancy is not only the inhabitants of a village, but for all maintenance creditors on the system .

“All are also affected, and it flies directly or indirectly, for their livelihood means. Relief and rehabilitation of these groups should be in terms of man” can be read in the report. The relief and rehabilitation for the package must be acceptable to all concerned, the project (PAP), but the fact.

The study focused on Maha Mumbai SEZ, but there are lots of Reliance group came on the screen, and was completed in December 2005. The SEZ has been encouraged by the Sea King group, but it was later taken over by Reliance.

The study group visited 15 villages, spoke with villagers largely at regular intervals studied their lifestyle and to compile a 80-page report, a copy of which is compatible with ET.

“Eviction of the rule of the breeze socio-economic, cultural and physical needs of human beings. These upheavals and the disintegration of municipalities will be conducted in effect to the problems of resettlement and adaptation, “reads the report.

But the projects are not entirely understood, there are problems. He wants all parties concerned to “recognize and acknowledge the right to information of the local population”, as the majority of villagers, including members of panchayats, which had no knowledge of the nature and the nature of the project.

Part of the Maha Mumbai SEZ is located on the coast of Man and the deprivation of their livelihood, fishing. The study states: “Since most households depend on fishing and fish stocks are an important part of their diet, be sure to have access to the sea, during and after the development of the project.”

Another problem relates to compensation. Given that many of PAPs in May did not large amounts of cash, the report states that the villagers should be the “funds management training and invest their money in order to find reliable manner” .

In addition, developers SEZ not too serious villagers links. “We must ensure that their welfare and physical access to different resources is not stopped by the project,” suggests there. According to the study, the loss of traditional occupation, the worst effects on men over the age of 40 in general and women in particular. “It is necessary to establish a concrete plan for the weaker parties, so that they can stay in business and not depend on others with feeling, “reads the report.

The most decisive part of the study, but deals with the structure of the family. “A household may consist of more than one family and family life together under one roof. In such cases, it is necessary that each family as a mechanism for rehabilitation,” he says. It is quite possible that several families of employees, migrant workers and workers landlose, agriculture is indirectly affected. These families should also R & R.

The study also seems a note of caution that we can PAPs flooding in the abundance of real estate agents and merchants. “It is noteworthy that most of the real estate agents by purchasing poor countries at prices cheaper. Latter would then be sold on the project on a larger scale. If they remain free, the PAPs,” he warns
