Subsequently, coal is employed widely as a fuel or thermal energy source for thermal power plants in the generation of the electricity.TPC Dadri power plant, also known as National Capital Power Station (NCPS), is a coal and gas-fired thermal power plant located near the town of Dadri in the district of GautamBudh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is located 9km from Dadri town and 48km from Delhi, the capital city of India. National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is the project owner. Considering some of the social and environmental issues, this study reveals the social impact of thermal power plants, particularly its fly-ash, in the project surrounding region based on the opinion of PAFs and SRs. It discloses that the cultivated land of major PAFs has been acquired by the plant authority. Again most of them have not yet been rehabilitated, compensated or employed in the project. It is also advocated for the proper arrangement of rehabilitation for the dispossessed people on a priority basis and it should be executed eventually by consulting with the government. It should be obligatory for the project authority to implement the forestation program within the plantareas along with its adjoining areas. The plant authority should instigate various activities to improve the economic condition in the nearby part of TPS. The plant authority should strictly put into practice various legal provisions like a compulsion for the allocation of funds (2 percent of profit) as per CSR Rules uD.der Companies Act, 2013, etc. to maintain a social and environmental balance in the locality.” Keywords NTPC Ash, Natural resources, Water Quality, Environmental degradation, Industrial waste, Air pollution, Agricultural land, Thermal power plant.
