The paper studies the impacts of development projects and their CSR activities on the Project Affected People (PAP) of Kalinganagar Industrial Estate of the state of Odisha.
Primary data has been collected using Focused Group Discussion (FGDs) and secondary data from relevant literature. Data obtained have been processed through sentiment analysis.
It was found that the companies operating in the region have performed well in economic dimension where as underperformed in social and environmental dimensions.
The present research recommends that development projects should work on social and environmental dimensions of CSR and sustainability, instead of taking these as trade-off for economic development. Further research may be conducted on the social and environmental dimensions in the context, specific of tribal displacement.
