The Proponent's submission lists reconciliation and engagement as a thematic category but does not define the framework for communities without municipal structures. In Melgund, the lack of a local government means residents require a specialized engagement model to ensure their well-being and safety concerns are weighted fairly against technical priorities. Defining these standards early will prevent community distrust and ensure that the project's social license is built on transparent, enforceable commitments rather than vague aspirational statements. This approach will improve the project's social sustainability by creating a clear pathway for unorganized residents to influence project outcomes and monitor the Proponent's accountability over time.
