    Presentation Topic:

    “The Conflict process about Rampal Power


    Plant”
    Introduction
    To meet electricity demand, the Government of Bangladesh has taken the initiative to install a
    new coal based thermal power plant, known as the Rampal Power Plant.
    It is also known as the Maitree Super Thermal Power Project, which is one of eleven coal-fired
    power stations the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) plans for commissioning by
    2021. Under the Companies Act 1994, a joint venture company called the Bangladesh-India
    Friendship Power Company Limited (BIFPCL) was formed in January 2012 by BPDB and
    India’s state-owned National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC).
    There are so many conflict issue between state and society which surrounds the potential social
    and environmental impacts of the coal-based Rampal Power Plant in Bangladesh.
    Conflict Conflict process
    A process that begins when one party A process that has five stages: potential
    perceives that another party has opposition or incompatibility, cognition and
    negatively affected, or is about to personalization, intentions, behavior, and
    negatively affect, something that the outcomes.
    first party cares about.

    Fig: Conflict process


    Stage 1: Potential Opposition or Incompatibility:

    Communications: Structure:
    • Different words connotations, jargon • include variables such as size, degree of
    insufficient exchange of information and noise specialization in the tasks assigned to group
    in communication channel are all antecedent members, jurisdictional clarity, members/ goal
    conditions to conflict. compatibility, leadership styles, reward
    systems and the degree of dependence
    • Too much communication as well as too little between groups.
    communication can rely foundation for
    conflict.
    Personal Variables:
    Certain personality types- for example individuals who are highly authoritarian and dogmatic-
    lead to potential conflict. Another reason for conflict is difference in value systems.

    In Rampal Power Plant have a huge communication gap between the government and the mass of people
    who love nature(The government say it's not harmful to nature but environmental activist say it's very
    harmful) and also some structure problem. So we can say this conflict arises from a communication gap
    and structure problem .
    Stage 2: Cognition and Personalization:
    conflict must be perceived by the parties to it whether or not conflict exists is a perception
    issue. If no one is aware of a conflict, then it is generally agreed that no conflict exists.

    perceived conflict felt conflict


    Awareness by one or more parties of the Emotional involvement in a conflict
    existence of conditions that create that creates anxiety, tenseness,
    opportunities for conflict to arise. frustration, or hostility.

    Rampal Power Plant is a felt conflict because of Emotional involvement in a conflict that creates
    anxiety, tenseness, frustration, or hostility. Here environmental activists create some protests, write
    some columns and also create some awareness to people about Rampal Power Plant negative effect.
    Stage 3: Intentions
    ❖ Competing: A desire to satisfy one’s interests, regardless of
    the impact on the other party to the conflict.

    ❖ Collaborating: A situation in which the parties to a conflict


    each desire to satisfy fully the concerns of all the parties.
    ❖ Avoiding: included trying to just ignore a conflict and
    avoiding others with whom you disagree.
    ❖ Accommodating: The willingness of one party in a
    conflict to place the opponent’s interests above his or her
    own. Fig: Dimensions of Conflict-Handling Intentions

    ❖ Compromising: A situation in which each party to a


    conflict is wiling to give up something.

    In Rampal Power Plant Government only satisfy need regardless of the impact on the other party to the conflict, Also
    avoid other parties opinion and finally both party willing to give up something. That’s why we can say here we follow
    Competing, Avoiding, Compromising.
    Stage 4: Behavior
    This is a stage where conflict becomes visible.
    The behavior stage includes the statements,
    actions and reactions made by the conflicting
    parties.
    conflict management: The use of resolution
    and stimulation techniques to achieve the
    desired level of conflict.

    Fig: Conflict-Intensity Continuum

    In Rampal Power Plant conflict Government and environment activist cover Minor disagreements or
    misunderstanding, Overt questioning or challenging of other, Assertive verbal attacks, threats and
    ultimatums Conflict-intensity continuum.
    Stage 5: Outcomes
    The action reaction interplay between the conflicting parties result in consequences.

    • functional in that the conflict results


    in an improvement in the group’s
    performance

    • dysfunctional in that it hinders group


    performance.

    Fig: Functional and dysfunctional Conflict

    In Rampal Power Plant conflict outcome is functional Because overall it improves our electric power that
    means the performance is very much helpful rather than environmental damage.
    Conclusion
    It is beyond debates that we should desperately look for newer and content sources of energy to
    support the pace of the country’s progressive and sustainable growth. But the Sunderbans is too a
    high price to pay for it, both environmentally and economically. So we can say that considering the
    pollution of environment, coal-based power production should be stopped gradually. Emphasis
    should be given to solar or wind based renewable power production.
