Ken-Betwa Link Project: Age verification via X-rays for compensation

Ken-Betwa Link Project Madhya Pradesh compensation age verification tribal communities

Authorities in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, are implementing age verification measures to facilitate compensation for those affected by the Ken-Betwa Link Project. Because many individuals in tribal and local communities lack formal school or birth documentation, the administration is using bone density tests and X-rays to determine ages.

Namah Shivay Arjariya, CEO of Zila Panchayat, Chhatarpur, stated that the process aims to ensure all eligible beneficiaries receive their rehabilitation packages. To qualify for compensation, a family member must be at least 18 years old by a specific cut-off date. Compensation is categorized into two types based on whether the affected area is private or government land.

So far, approximately 180 people have undergone these medical tests at the district hospital under the Collector’s instructions. The project is a major undertaking by both the central and state governments.
