Consultancy Services for Preparation of Feasibility Report of Two-laning of Km 0.000 to Km 38.750 of SH-22 comprising the section from Mandrayal-Karauli (the “Highway-I”) Package 13

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ES.1 INRODUCTION

1. The Social Impact Assessment survey for the project road Karauli-Mandrayal stretch has

been conducted to determine the magnitude of actual and potential impact to ensure that

social considerations has been given adequate weight age in the selection and design of

proposed Road. Basic idea is to minimize adverse social impacts with best possible

engineering solutions at the optimal cost.

ES.2 METHODOLOGY

2. Both primary and secondary data has been collected on the basis of rapid social survey

and public consultation has been conducted. The socio-economic and census survey were

conducted, on standard questionnaire by enumerator and compiled on excel sheet for

further analysis.

ES.3 PROJECT INFLUENCE AREA

3. The Project Road starts at km 00.000 in Mandrayal and terminate on Karauli at km

38+750.The project road is a part of SH-22. The Project Road passes through Mandrayal,

Langra, Gadi, Sankra, Bichpuri and Karauli built up sections under Karauli districts of

Rajasthan. The Right of way varies from 15.0m to 20.0m. There is no additional new

bypass is proposed. The project Road shall be strengthened and upgraded to 2-lane with

earthen shoulder.

ES.4 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY

4. Socio-economic survey is the main base of the Social Impact Assessment and Resettle

Action Plan. The survey for the proposed project was conducted in Two phases.

The survey for the proposed project was conducted in three phases.

1. Phase-I (08.08.2015 to 12.08.2015): Reconnaissance survey, social strip mapping;

2. Phase-II (12.08.2015 to 14.08.2015): 25% census survey & SIA for Proposed section.

The additional survey has been conducted to updating Karauli-Mandrayal section for squatters,

structure losers and 25% details of the total Agricultural land losers.

ES.5 PROJECT IMPACTS

5. Finding of the baseline socio-economic survey give the following profile of the project corridor:



Major sources of livelihood are agriculture followed by trade and commerce.

The Right of way (ROW) is proposed 16 for open areas and 12m for habitation and

Keladevi Wildlife Sanctuary. It may be minimized in the dense habituated areas as per

need and availability of areas.

Around 60-70% of the PAPs are literate.

Major Social groups are Hindus with OBCs as the most dominant group.

Average family size is 6.0

In the project context, the vulnerable group consists of scheduled caste (SC), scheduled

tribes (STs), women- headed households (WHH), and those below the poverty line (BPL).

Major community development needs expressed by the villagers are village approach

roads, bus stands, toilets, drinking water facilities, Emergency First aid Response; grade

separated pedestrian for path and employment facilities.

ES.6 Land Requirement Impacts

1. The proposed road alignment has been adjusted in the available ROW except curve

improvement locations where major part is govt. land and some part is private. Approx.

11.37 ha private land will be acquired. In the market areas some encroachers will be

remove to develop the safety measures like drain, footpath utility shifting etc. One Toll

Plaza is proposed in the available land at km 31.

ES.7 RESETTLEMENT PRINCIPLES

2. As per RTF CLARR ordinance 2014, Compensation matrix has been prepared in RAP

for project. The Entitlement policy recognizes all types of affected persons such as

squatters, encroachers, vulnerable, titleholders, kiosks, etc. Squatters who are presenting

prior to cut off date are considered for R&R Assistance. They will be paid replacement

cost of structures, shifting & transition allowances. Training would be given to EPs

loosing commercial activities. The titleholder structure losers will be paid replacement

cost of structure including homestead land & cost of trees, shifting & transition

allowances. The land losers will be paid replacement costs of land lost & transitional

allowance as per the entitlement matrix. The tenants will receive shifting allowance,

rental allowance, deposits & compensation for erected structures if any. All incidental

costs will be borne by the project. The project will rebuild the community utilities &

infrastructures if any, which is to be dismantled. The policy also asserts an integrated



income restoration strategy for PAFs losing their source of income and income

opportunity. The vulnerable EPs will get one time Economic Rehabilitation Grant to

establish their businesses, livelihood etc.

ES.8 CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURES

3. Consultation during project preparation, as an integral part of the social assessment

process not only minimizes the risks and unwanted political propaganda against the

project but also terminate the gap between the community and the project formulators,

which leads to timely completion of the project and making the project people’s

friendly.

4. Public consultations were held with various sections of the project-affected population

such as traders, women, village elders, Panchayats members and other inhabitants etc.

During consultations the people of the affected area were told about the proposed project

and its need. Also the R&R and land acquisition were discussed with the affected

persons. The process of information was highly appreciated by the local inhabitants.

During public consultation issues related to safety, compensation, income restoration,

employment generation, trafficking of women, grievance reprisal, role of administration

information flow etc were discussed as well. Issues were also raised about the

transparency in the project implementation process. Most of the affected persons showed

their consent for the proposed project.

ES.9 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK AND GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

5. The RAP for project strongly recommends that all efforts shall be made to settle

grievances of the PAPs as amicably as possible. Out of court settlement shall be

preferred since it expedites dispute settlement on one hand & help timely project

implementation on the other. Grievance Redress Committees will be set up at district

level to resolve the concerns of the PAPs. Thorough investigations shall be done so that

PAPs are satisfied.

6. PWD will establish an R&R Cell under the Project Implementation Unit (PIU). The

Project Director will head the R&R Cell (PIU), who will be supported by two/three

Resettlement and Rehabilitation officers (Technical Manager). The PWD will engage

experienced NGOs for implementation of RAP activities & to coordinate with other

departments, which are stakeholders in the project. The NGOs will also be involved to



organize & conduct training programs, awareness campaigns, verification of PAFs &

their assets, help in settling the disputes etc. The PIU-R&R Cell will be assisted by

committees at district levels in resolving issues of disputes & in implementing the

Resettlement Action Plan (RAP for project).

ES.10 INCOME RESTORATION STRATEGIES

7. When preparing the RAP for project, other studies on income restoration were

considered. Attempts have been made in this RAP to improve upon the past experiences

on income restoration measures. NGOs will be identified for smooth RAP

implementation, providing livelihood solutions, training and up gradation of skills.

NGOs will be responsible for ensuring improved quality of life of PAPs, along with

PWD. The Training program has been suggested based on rapid market surveys

(conducted by the R&R Consultants) and interests shown by the PAPs; its aim is up

gradation of skills linked to employment opportunities & income generation/restoration.

The duration of training will depend upon the training program chosen by the EPs.

ES.11 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

8. The RAP for project implementation period is 18 months. Planning, surveying,

assessing, policy development, institution identification, PAPs participation, income

restoration & implementation and typical RAP related activities, which have been

considered. However, sequence may change as delays witnessed due to circumstances

beyond the control of the project. Monitoring will be continuous throughout the

implementation of the RAP. An external M&E agency will be hired by PWD to monitor

the implementation of RAP. The PIU will submit periodic monthly progress reports to

the PWD HQ. The monitoring will be carried on for a period of three years from the date

of the implementation of the RAP. The project will be evaluated from time to time from

both internal and external mechanism.

INTRODUCTION & PROJECT BACK GROUND

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

10. As on December 2014, state has a total road length of 2,05,003 km, out of these 7,310

km are National Highways, 11,881 km are State Highways, 9,540 km are major District

roads, 29,216 km are other district roads and 147,056 km are village roads. The road

density in the state is 59.90 km per 100 sq. km against the national average of 148 km.

4,459 km Black Top roads have been constructed under various programmes / projects

like National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Pradhan Mantri

Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), Rajasthan Road Sector Modernization Projects

(RRSMP) etc.

11. The Government of Rajasthan has taken the task of road development as 2-lane with

paved/unpaved/earthen shoulder, by the help of Rajasthan Public Work Department. The

improvement works shall primarily consist of raising the formation level, widening to a

full two lanes from the existing single and intermediate lane widths, and/or pavement

rehabilitation/strengthening. Road sections with high volumes of non-motorized traffic

will be widened to 30 m with 1.5m full paved/earthen shoulders. Roads in urban areas

may also require further widening for provision for drains, sidewalks, accommodate

local traffic and parking where required.

12. With a view to improve the transport network system, Rajasthan PWD has divided the

roads requiring improvement in number of packages. Package 13 is one of the part of

package. Package 13 having 5 nos. of roads which are described in Table 1.1. PWD has

appointed M/s. CEMOSA AVANZA, SHP consortium as Consultant to assist all aspects

of project preparation in accordance with the objectives as detailed in the scope of work.

These tasks are linked to the engineering, environment and social aspects of the project

preparation that will be undertaken throughout the period of consultancy agreement.

13. Out of four highways Mandrayal to Karauli road (SH-22) is selected for present study.

This report describes the designing attributes of proposed road project, predict possible

environment impacts and their suitable mitigation measures as per site and legal

requirement. The proposed road project includes widening and strength of existing

intermediate/2-lane section of Mandrayal to Karauli road (SH-22). The report confirms

to the legal framework of Govt. of Rajasthan and Govt. of India.

. The index map showing project road is presented in Figure 1.1.

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

14. The project road passes through Ajmer district of Rajasthan and the major settlements

along the project Karauli-Mandrayal corridors are Mandral, Langra, Rangawa Lake,

Larauli etc. The existing SH-22 is /two lane comprising of flexible & rigid pavement

with moderate conditions except at few distress locations. The width of road varies from

3.8m to 7.0m with 1.5 to 2.0m wide shoulder. There is no existing bypass on the project

road. The project passes through plain, rolling and hilly terrain. The project road starts at

Mandaral Pond Mandrayal and ends at Y-Junction with NH-11.

15. The project road passes near the protected areas of Keladevi Wildlife Sanctuary so hence

there is requirement of prier wild life clearance from NBWL and environment clearance

from MoEFCC..

16. The proposed project traverses through 19 major villages as shown in Table 1.1. The

available Right of Way (ROW) as per the revenue records varies from 15.0 m to 20.0 m

from Mandrayal to Karauli in the different sections of the corridors (Shown in

Annexure 10.1 for chainage wise details for available ROW). There are many locations

where alignment needs geometric improvements to maintain riding quality of State

highway and safe movement of vehicles. Improvement of road geometrics is proposed in

the entire stretch.

PPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

18. Experience indicates that involuntary resettlement generally gives rise to severe

problems for the affected population. Proper dissemination of project related

information will help to reduce the insecurity and opposition towards the project which

may otherwise be likely to occur. The project will therefore ensure that the affected

population and other stakeholders are timely informed consulted and actively participate

in the development process. This consultation is continued at each and every stage of the

project.

1.4.1 Public Consultations

19. Focused mainly on the mapping of the social issues related to the project stretch and

were targeted to understand the concerns and aspirations of the people from the up

gradation work. The second round of public consultations primarily centered on sharing

of the proposed development plan and R&R policy framework with the PAPs for their

views on the development The public consultations is an ongoing process, at the

feasibility stage public consultations proposals and the issues related to resettlement and

rehabilitation. In addition to the consultations with the PAPs, interactions and

consultations were held with other Stakeholders especially the Gram Panchayat

Sarpanch, PWD Officials and district administration to elicit their views and mobilize

support for the implementation phase.

1.4.2 Census Surveys and Structure Marking

20. Questionnaire were used for census survey included all necessary data/input for

preparing the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP). Successful implementation of the RAP

depends on appropriate and accurate census and socio-economic surveys of PAFs/

PAPs. The surveys were carried out for the non-titleholders and titleholders, keeping in

view the requirements for the assessment of the category and quantum of losses, so that

the entitlements can be evolved in a logical and scientific manner. The survey ensured

that each and every affected and displaced person is identified and his/her entitlements

are worked out as per the Land Acquisition Act 2013 and the expenditure estimates are

determined on the basis of the entitlements.

2.3 PROJECT IMPACT

23. The road users and population benefited / affected by the project road are mainly those

who use the existing road/ proposed alignment for their daily needs. The impact analysis

was carried out in detail for the households falling within proposed ROW and indirect

impact was also assessed within 1 kilometer buffer zone on either side of proposed road.

SIA- RAP REPORT 10


2.4 SOCIO ECONOMIC & CENSUS SURVEYS

24. The baseline and census survey collected a wide range of data including demography,

ethnicity, religion, social stratification, loss of assets, present usage of structures,

education, occupation, income, expenditure patterns, tenure/ownership, access to public

amenities, preference for compensation etc. The database provides a detailed picture of

the social and economic conditions and the likely impact that the people may have to

sustain due to the project.

2.5 Survey Cut off Dates

25. The survey for the proposed project was conducted in three phases.

Phase-I (08.08.2015 to 10.08.2015): Reconnaissance survey, social strip mapping;

Phase-II (11.08.2015 to 14.08.2015): 25% census survey & SIA for Proposed section.

26. The additional survey has been conducted to updating Karauli-Mandrayal section for squatters,

structure losers and 25% details of the total Agricultural land losers.

27. However, the survey numbers of all agricultural land losers along with extent of land loss is

already available in the LA Plan. The data of PAPs are given in Annexure 2.1.

SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION

A. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILING

28. The majority of the potentially affected/ benefited persons living in the project influence

zone frequently travels down the existing roads or proposed alignment of the project.

Their purpose of visit brings them generally to the prominent market places by the

roadside or transport boarding points. Other beneficiaries also pass through the

important junctions of the feeder roads connecting the project road / proposed

alignment. These junction points were selected for consultation and FGDs. Besides,

administrative offices, places of worship, community structures, in the major settlements

within the project impact zone were also taken into considerations for holding

consultations. Direct impact will involve the habitations along the existing project road

and indirect impact habitations will involve those within 1.0 km of the project road on

either side. GOI and GOR regulations require impact assessment during the design stage

to avoid reduce or mitigate potential negative impacts of project and enhance positive

impacts, sustainability and development benefits.

B. Intensity of Impact on Land Owners

29. Due to the land acquisition 55 nos, structures will be affected. The analysis of intensity of

impacts on their productive assets i.e. land shows that out of 32 Structure. The intensity of

impact shows that upto 50% impacted numbers are 14, 50% to 75% impacted structures numbers

are 5 and 75% to 100% impacted structures numbers are 36. The scale of impact on land is

CHAPTER-4

PUBLIC CONSULTATION & ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES ALIGNMENT

A. INTRODUCTION

37. Public participation was undertaken to make explicit the social factors that will affect the

development impacts of planned State highway improvements and mediate project results.

Through public participation, stakeholders and key social issues were identified and strategy was

formulated. It included socio-cultural analysis and design of social strategy, institutional analysis

and specifically addressed the issue of how poor and vulnerable groups may benefit from the

project. Experience indicates that involuntary resettlement generally gives rise to severe

problems for the affected population. These problems may be reduced if, as a part of RAP

implementation, people are properly informed and consulted about the project, about their

situation and preferences, and are allowed to make meaningful choices. This serves to reduce the

insecurity and opposition to the project which otherwise are likely to occur.

38. The project will therefore ensure that the affected population and other stakeholders are

informed, consulted, and allowed to participate actively in the development process. This will be

done throughout the project, both during preparation, implementation, and monitoring of project

results and impacts.

39. During implementation and monitoring stage, information will be disseminated to project

affected persons and other key stakeholders in appropriate ways. This information will be

prepared in Hindi and local languages as required, describing the main project features including

the entitlement framework. Consultation will be carried out in ways appropriate for cultural,

gender-based, and other differences among the stakeholders. Where groups or individuals have

different views/opinions, particular emphasis will be laid on the views and needs of the

vulnerable groups.

B. METHOD OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION

40. Public consultations in the project area were held at village and Panchayat level. The following

methodology has been adopted for carrying out public consultations in this project:-

Disseminating information and requesting villagers to attend the public consulting meetings.

Sharing the opinions and preferences of the PAPs.

Involving the PAPs in decision-making including RAP implementation.

The different techniques of consultation with stakeholders were used during project preparation,

viz., in-depth interviews, public meetings, group discussions etc. To understand the socio-

economic profile of the society, questionnaires were designed and information was collected from

SIA- RAP REPORT 17


the individuals on one-to-one basis. The consultations have also been carried out with special

emphasis on the vulnerable and women groups. The key informants during the project preparation

phase included both individuals and groups namely:

Head and members of the Households likely to be affected.

Groups/clusters of PAPs.

Village Panchayat, Sarpanch and members.

Local voluntary organizations and NGOs.

Government agencies and departments.

Other project stakeholders with special focus on women and PAPs belonging to the

vulnerable group.

The various levels at which the consultation were held is shown in Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1: Various Level of Consultation

C. CONSULTATION PRIOR TO RESETTLEMENT

41. Preliminary discussions were conducted by the consultant in first week of August 2015 through

Group Discussions (GDs) and mass meetings with the APs as well as the general public in the

villages and towns.

Methods used for local level consultations:

Individual household level consultation as part of census and socio-economic survey.

Group discussions with men and women group separately.

Formal public consultations involving all the sections of the society at strategic location,

which includes group discussions with shopkeepers/traders, squatters, residential affected

persons, land affected persons etc.

At the village / block level, PAPs and local public representatives had been consulted.

SIA- RAP REPORT 18


During the consultations, efforts were made to:

Understand the views of the people affected, with reference to acquisition of land and

selection of alignment.

Understand views of people on Resettlement options and Rehabilitation, R&R issues and

Land Acquisition Act / Procedure.

Identify and assess all major economic and sociological characteristics of the villages to

enable effective planning and implementation;

Resolve issues related to the impacts on community property and relocation of the same.

Examine PAP’s opinion on road safety issues and selection of locations of pedestrian

crossings, underpasses / overpasses.

Identify people's expectations regarding public conveniences and roadside amenities such as

segregated median along the bypass.

Perception of community on environmental issues/ environmental enhancements and State

highway related diseases.

Identify levels and extent of community participation in project implementation and

monitoring.

Finally, to establish an understanding for identification of overall developmental goals and

benefits of the project.

42. Group discussions (GDs) were conducted primarily in settlements with problems of traffic

congestion, intense squatting, and multiple intersections closely located, major road intersections

and with high concentration of PAPs. Public consultations were held with large number of

people in every affected village during the survey and suggestions and comments of PAPs have

been incorporated in the project design as far as possible keeping in view the technical

feasibility. All issues raised during public consultation has been dealt with and incorporated in

relevant chapters.

43. To ensure peoples’ participation in the planning phase of this project and to treat public

consultation and participation as a continuous two way process, The Census/Survey

Team carried out preliminary consultation, through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)

and meetings with the PAPs as well as the general public in the project area through

individual interviews. The main objective of the public consultation are the promotion of

public understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental problems, primarily in

settlements with problems of traffic congestion, dense informal/squatter settlement,

close junctions, road intersections, and concentration of PAPs. During the survey,

SIA- RAP REPORT 19


intensive discussion and consultation meetings were conducted with large number of

PAPs in nearly every affected village wherein policy related issues; displacements and

other related issues were discussed. Suggestions and comments by PAPs were

incorporated in the feasibility studies of the proposed project as well as the policy

measures for resettlement management, such as local needs of road users and problem

and prospects of resettlement. The option of alternative design was also discussed to

meet their local transport needs and to achieve speedy implementation of the project

with peoples’ involvement.

44. The project will therefore ensure that the affected population and other stakeholders are

Informed, consulted, and allowed to participate actively in the development process.

This has been done throughout the project, during preparation of project results and

impacts. During informal consultation information has been disseminated to project

affected persons and other key stakeholders in appropriate ways. Consultation will be

carried out in ways appropriate for cultural, gender-based, and other differences among

the stakeholders. Where groups or individuals have different views/opinions, particular

emphasis will be laid on the views and needs of the vulnerable groups.

D. CONSULTATION FOR FINALIZATION OF ALIGNMENT PLAN

45. Consultations were carried at three locations namely Mandrayal, Langra and Karauli along

the project road Location to create awareness about the project among the people.

Consultation locations were selected in such a way that all considerable habitations and

also probable impacts from the project are covered adequately to ensure maximum possible

public participation. Based on the above factors, the following Cross Sections have been

adopted:

1. Safety provisions will be provided in the Ghat Section.

2. Land will be after taking consent and giving compensation.

3. Structure will Shifting of temple and other CPRs through proper method and on the place

suggested by public consultation.

4. Trees will be cut within formation width only.

5. As far as possible the widening is accommodated within the existing ROW and additional

land acquisition is kept to absolutely minimum.

E. ANALYSIS OF ALIGNMENTS

46. Mandrayal, Langra and Karauli are habitation area falls between km 0.000 to 38.750 with

commercial cum residential activities along the project road. The available width between

SIA- RAP REPORT 20


building line to building line is varies from 15 m to 20 m. Public consultations at Habitation

locations were conducted on the existing alignment in Mandrayal, Langra and Karauli on

12.8.15. Summary of public consultation conducted along the road is presented in the Table 4.1,

Figure 4.2 and written suggestion given by the local public representatives and local public are

given in Annexure 4.1.

F. KEY FINDINGS OF THE CONSULTATION

47. Major findings related to key issues such as: general perception about the project, suggestions to

mitigate hardships resulting from dislocation and loss of livelihood are presented below:

Most of the people were aware about the project.

People were convinced about the importance of state highway in their region since it will

enhance economic opportunities.

People consented to cooperate if adequate compensation is given.

Most people preferred to resettle near their previous place of business and residence.

Cultivators prefer cash compensation at market rate. Land for land option was least

preferred.

Requests for facilities and amenities like underpasses and safer accessibility at points of

congestion and intersections.

PAPs suggested local representation in the Grievance Redressal Committee.

Panchayat officials came forward to provide information about government schemes such as

NREGA, etc.

PAPs wanted to know about the exact period when the work will start.

People requested about creation of employment opportunities during road construction and

later phases of the project.

G. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS

48. The effectiveness of the R&R program is directly related to the degree of continuing

involvement of those affected by the project. During the preparatory stage, consultations were

held at local level as documented above. Several additional rounds of consultations with PAPs

have been planned in the action plan through partner NGO during RAP implementation.

Consultations during RAP implementation will involve agreements on compensation, assistance

options, and entitlement package and income restoration. The other round of consultations will

occur when compensation and assistance are provided and actual resettlement begins.

SIA- RAP REPORT 21


49. Information Disclosure is pursued for effective implementation and timely execution of RAP.

For the benefit of the community in general and PAPs in particular, RAP and R&R policy will

be translated in local language (Hindi) to be kept at:

Panchayat level

Block Development Office

Tehsil Office

District Magistrate Office

PIU Office

50. The PIU offices will provide information on R&R policies and features of the rehabilitation

action plan to the people in continuous manner. For continued consultations, following steps

have been envisaged in the project:

The NGOs to be involved in implementation of the RAP will organize public meetings and

will appraise the communities about the progress in the implementation of R&R works.

There will be Grievance Reprisal Committees (GRCs) for each district. The PAPs will be

associated with such committees (each of the committees will include representative of the

PAPs).

The resettlement sites, and other amenities and facilities to be made available to the PAPs

will be decided in consultation with the communities.

The NGOs will organize public meetings to inform the community about the compensation

and assistance to be paid. Regular update of the progress of resettlement component of the

project will be placed for public display at the PIU office.

All monitoring and evaluation reports of the R&R components of the project will be

disclosed in the same manner as that of the RAP report suggested above.

Together with the NGO, PIU will conduct information dissemination sessions in major

intersections and solicit the help of the local community/business leaders to encourage the

participation of the PAPs in RAP implementation.

Attempt to ensure that vulnerable groups understand the process and their needs are

specifically taken into consideration.

51. For effective implementation of RAP it is essential to involve communities and PAPs in the

process. The mechanism of involving PAPs, NGOs, Host population, Project and local officials

is suggested in Table 4.2.

CHAPTER-6

INCOME RESTORATION MEASURES & GENDER PLAN

A. INTRODUCTION

58. The Development projects have an adverse impact on the income of project-affected

persons. They also have a negative impact on the socio-cultural systems of affected

communities. Restoration of pre-project levels of income is an important part of

rehabilitating socio-economic and cultural systems in affected communities.

59. As indicated by the Income Restoration Study in road sector projects, income restoration

interventions are much more complex due to occupational diversity of PAPs. There may be

a mix of a large number of land title holders (big, small and marginal farmers) and share

croppers and non-title holders engaged in small business enterprises (vehicle repairing

shops, small hotels, other rural/semi urban small activity based shops, commercial squatters

etc.) as displaced people. This complex nature of occupational diversity poses a problem for

mitigation measures in the context of economic rehabilitation. The task becomes even more

challenging due to the inherent pressure of completion of road construction work in a time

bound manner.

60. However, the R&R framework proposed for the project has adequate provisions for

restoration of livelihood of the affected communities. Attempts have been made towards

improving the Income restoration strategies. The focus of restoration of livelihood is to

ensure that the Affected Persons (PAPs) are able to at least "regain their previous living

standards". To restore and enhance the economic conditions of the PAPs, certain income

generation and income restoration programs are incorporated in the RAP. To begin with

providing employment to the local people during construction phase will enable them to

participate in the benefits of the project, reduce the size of intrusive work forces & keep

more of the resources spent on the project in the local economy. It will also give the local

communities a greater stake & sense of ownership in the project.

61. The R&R framework of the project provides that the loss of livelihood which would mainly

result from the loss of land will be compensated by way of:

Alternate economic rehabilitation support and training for up-gradation of skills and

various R&R assistances such as Transitional Allowance.

Preference of providing employment through the contractors for road works specially

to those belonging to vulnerable groups.

Income restoration (IR) schemes will be designed in consultation with affected

persons so as to benefit them. Based on the information collected on IR activities through

SIA- RAP REPORT 39


the census socio-economic surveys, the implementing NGO will identify suitable IR

programme for the affected persons. Steps to be followed for income restoration include:

Verification of PAPs and choosing respective income restoration activities – NGO

needs to verify the affected persons and prepare a list of feasible income restoration options.

While identifying IR options, the following factors shall also be considered:

education level of affected persons, skill possession,

likely economic activities in the post-displacement period,

suitability of economic activity to supplement the income, and

Market potential and marketing facilities.

62. The NGO will assist in identifying appropriate alternative economic rehabilitation schemes

from the list of government schemes. It shall counsel and consult the PAPs on their

preferred options. NGO in consultation with the PAPs, other stakeholders prepare IR

proposal for PAPs. The proposal will be submitted to project authority for approval. Upon

approval, the IR activities will be started by the NGO. The scope of work of the NGO to be

engaged for the implementation of RAP includes all the above aspects related income

generation/restoration activities for PAPs. The project affected families eligible for Income

Restoration is shown in Table 6.1.

63. The project will assist the PAFs in liaison with NGO, to encourage the PAFs to work in the

road construction services. The project will:-

Assist to establish contact with the construction contractors for road works;

Encourage to enlist labors for work to handle road related contract services;

Skill improvement, training & employment opportunities to compensate them for the

loss of livelihood and income resulting from land acquisition;

Identify training needs & modules;

Assist access to poverty alleviation programs of the govt. such as NREEGA

especially for those below poverty line.

Also assist to identify self-employment options.

B. OPTIONS IN INCOME GENERATION & RESTORATION

64. The labor force required for the construction activities will be mostly of high-skill nature

since a lot of machine work is envisaged for the construction of highway. As a result the

construction contractors are expected to bring along their labor force. Thus, in most cases

the laborers, both male and female, will be migratory laborers. But, the involvement of local

labour force, especially for unskilled activities, cannot be fully ruled out.

To ensure participation of local population as labor, PWD shall have to take following steps:

I. DRRO and NGO shall ensure that the list contains name of both male and female APs. At the

same time care shall be taken that PAPs less than the age of 14 years are not included in the list;

in accordance with the Child labour (abolition and regulation) Act, 1986.

II. DRRO and NGO through continuous monitoring shall ensure that equal wages are given to both

male and female workers

III. The contractor will give preference in jobs for the people affected due to the project

SIA- RAP REPORT 41


C. SELF-EMPLOYMENT GENERATION SCHEME

65. PAPs will be encouraged to take up training for income generating activities, with active

support from the project through the NGO, in self-employment schemes.

66. The NGOs will take the initiative to make necessary arrangements for providing

infrastructure and other institutional support that will be required, to assist the PAP to get

financial support through local bank and government program. The said activities will be

facilitated in collaboration with the PIU. The NGO would generate awareness among the

PAPs about the different income earning opportunities and facilitate and training among

EPs. The PIU-R&R cell will not only take the initiative for self employment generating

schemes and also arrange for appropriate training programmers so that the trained PAPs

will be eligible for others jobs. Table 6.2 shows the loss of livelihood.

Table 6.2: Loss of Livelihood

Source: Social Survey of CEMOSA, AVANZA, SHP Jaipur

D. OPTION OF SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND PWD’S ASSISTANCE

67. It is perceived that the PWD will be unable to provide direct employment to the PAPs;

hence, alternative programs are proposed as outlined in the above sections. Training for

self-employment and assistance in setting up micro-enterprises is the primary vehicle of

rehabilitation.

The following order of priority would be considered for the EPs entitled for self-employment:

Have the requisite educational qualification;

Have taken training in some micro-enterprise scheme and appeals to the PWD for assistance;

and

Possess previous experience in running micro-enterprises;

However, relaxation will be made for women, those below poverty line, and minorities and

vulnerable PAPs who have taken training, but may not have requisite educational

qualifications and experience. In both cases, the R&R cell in consultation with the NGO and

the DLCs will vet appeals.

The key parameters of the PWD level of assistance in setting up of micro-enterprises are as

follows:

Survey of marketing opportunities by the NGO and information on EPs under the supervision

SIA- RAP REPORT 42


of R&R Cell;

Identification of training needs and modules that matches market opportunities. This will be

done by the NGO;

NGO to assist the EPs to form groups/cooperatives that can bid for contracts tendered by the

construction contractors or its sub-contractors; Activity to be supervised by R&R Cell.

R&R cell through the NGO will assist the EPs to get access to capital by facilitating formation

of a credit window affordable to the EPs as individuals or groups in the local bank.

PWD will co-ordinate with the local bank to extend credit to the EPs. PWD will extend a letter

of introduction to the bank;

Encourage the EPs to service loans and through awareness generation and training programs

by the NGO;

R&R cell in collaboration with the NGO will also facilitate the EPs access to poverty

alleviation programs of the Government; and R&R cell will monitor the ventures established

and incomes derived from these programs; the information will be fed into the R&R database.

The ventures and incomes derived will again be monitored by an independent agency and the

leading institute vides the reports submitted by the PIU-R&R cell.

E. MARKET FEASIBILITY STUDY

68. No business enterprise or income restoration program will sustain until and unless it is

based on the market need and demand. Hence PWD through it’s PIU and contracted NGO

who will undertake the detailed market feasibility study to clearly prepare the list of all

viable and feasible enterprises. The scope of this study covers service and non-service based

enterprises, the raw material availability and assured consumer market. The findings of the

study will also be matched with the profile of the PAPs and accordingly the options will be

offered to the PAPs. However R&R consultants in the local district and village markets to

make reconnaissance of the existing demand and supply situation conducted rapid market

survey. The survey reveals that more than 75% of the products available in all districts and

State level. The local district markets comprise of all types of shops; hardware,

construction materials, general store, vegetable markets, cloth stores, auto repair shops etc.

The development of the project is expected to increase urbanization and commercialization

of the society in particular along the project corridor. Demand for consumer goods in the

area would consequently increase. Initiation of road construction activities will also result

in a heavy spree of construction activities in and around the project area. This would

consequently increase cash flow in the area.

SIA- RAP REPORT 43


F. TRAINING NEEDS OF PAPs

69. Very few PAPs posses any professional skills in the project area, Hence a large scale and

intensive training program need to be undertaken. The PAPs eligible for training will either

be trained in the training institutes identified by NGOs or by individual trainers. Training

will be provided to vulnerable EPs as per the entitlement matrix. It is expected that such

training will be organized within 12 months of property acquisition. NGO shall carry out

the detail exercise of skill mapping and training need assessment before finalization of any

training schemes.

70. Provision of Training: Option for training on skill enhancement for those losing their

livelihood has been provided in the Entitlement Matrix. Training needs assessment shall be

carried out and that shall form the basis of identification of the further training needs. The

beneficiary group includes member of the identified ST household. Training programs will

be conducted by PIU with assistance from NGO. Support shall be provided through the

training agency/department to PAP in seeking employment. Periodic review meeting will be

carried out by the PIU to assess the efficacy of training programs and corrective measures,

if required, will be suggested for coordination with various training institutes/departments.

G. COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING POLICY

71. Training is an important part of RAP. Following training modules will be developed.

H. Training for NGO Personnel

72. The NGO will be trained to upgrade their skills so as to deliver the R&R components more

effectively. Since reporting and documentation is an essential component of NGO activity,

NGO will be provided with PWD Guidelines to prepare the formats etc. during orientation,

which will be conducted just after signing of the contract.

I. Training of PAPs

The training imparted will be essentially of two types: a technical training relevant for jobs and

the other for non-land and land based self-employment and skill development schemes. The

policy is devised under the following parameters:

Eligible PAPs will get training assistance,

Provision for training has already been made in the RP budget. This amount is not redeemable

in cash. It is based on an estimate of a minimum of 6 weeks of training per person, which may

be stretch to a maximum of one year, which could allow daily allowance to EP, cost of experts,

trainers and other incidental expenses. In case where the type of training requested by the EPs

exceeds the budgeted amount, the PWD will review the request on a Case-by-case basis

through the R&R cell or the shortfall will be met from ERG incase EP is eligible for that.

SIA- RAP REPORT 44


EPs will have the right to participate in institutional form of training at existing institutions

facilitated by NGO.

EPs will have the right to transfer his/her training entitlement to his/her immediate family

member if the EP desires to do so. The nodal NGO will coordinate the process,

EPs shall request the PWD for participation in a particular training in consultation with the

NGO. The PWD will approve and pay the training institution directly and the cost will be

deducted from the EPs training entitlement,

Eligibility criteria for training will feature on the ID card.

On completion of training EPs will receive an introductory letter/certificate from the PWD.

This will assist the PAPs in approaching the bank for loans to start micro enterprises.

J. TRAINING MECHANISM

The implementation of the training procedure would involve the following steps:

R&R cell in consultation with the Rehabilitation officers will prepare TOR for the NGO vis-à-

vis its role in the training program. Facilitation training for EPs will be in the TOR of NGOs;

Once the NGO is selected it will map all relevant existing institutions/programs in the area that

would impart training;

Regular survey of perceived training needs of EPs by NGO in collaboration with the R&R cell

and Panchayat level committees will lead to prioritizing and selection of schemes for training;

Identification of training institutes/individuals/experts by the NGO can be subcontracted to

conducted relevant training demanded by EPs within the financial means of the entitlement

and preparation of TOR for the same by the NGO;

Preparation of list of trainees (phase wise) by the NGO in collaboration with the DLCs and

R&R Cell;

Awareness generation and information dissemination on the schemes by the NGO to the

selected trainees to ensure transparency about the training schemes and the entitles amounts;

and

The PIU, PWD will co-ordinate with the different recognized training organization, the PAPs

either in the project area or any other place fixed by the institutes. Care shall be taken by the

R&R cell and NGO that the funds for training are utilized in best possible ways.

K. WOMEN’S NEEDS & PARTICIPATION

73. In the process of R&R, women require special attention. Change caused by relocation does

not have equal implications for members of both the sexes and may result in greater

SIA- RAP REPORT 45


inconvenience to women. Due to disturbance in production system, reduction in assets like

land and livestock, women may have to face the challenge of running a large household in

limited income and resources. This in turn may force woman as well as children to

participate in work for supplementing the household income. In contrast to this, due to

changes that are likely to take places for any development project, especially changes in

environment and land labour ratio, those women who at present are engaged in activities

like agriculture labour, or collection and sale of forest produce may find themselves

unemployed and dependent.

74. PWD would, therefore, make efforts to maintain the social support network for women

headed households as far as possible so that they remain closer to their locations and /or

provide special services at the new sites. Special assistance would consist of the following:

Allowing them priority in site selection

Relocating them near site wherever possible

Arranging with the contractor to construct their houses

Providing assistance with dismantling salvageable materials from their original home

Providing them priority access to all other mitigation and development assistance, and

Monitoring their nutritional & health status

Some examples of meeting practical needs of women that will be implemented by PWD

through NGO:

Reduced women’s workloads by providing standpipes, toilet facilities, and the like

Improve health services by providing safe drinking water, family planning and HIV/AIDS

counseling, sanitation training, immunization, etc.

Assist in childcare services for wage earning mothers, primary schools, inputs in kitchen

gardening etc.

Increase access to productive resources

Promote equal opportunities for women’s employment

Encouraging women’s participation in development projects is a policy being followed by

GOI. There are several ways in which women will be able to participate in the implementation

programmed.

At least 50 percent of the NGO personnel involved must be women and recruited from the

local area specifically from among the PAPs.

The independent agency for monitoring and evaluation will have representation of women key

SIA- RAP REPORT 46


professionals and technical support team.

L. MEASURES TOWARDS INCOME RESTORATION AND UPLIFT OF

VULNERABLE PEOPLE

75. PWD has evolved a number of measures towards resettlement and rehabilitation of the

vulnerable families including the women headed households, SC/ST below poverty line and

the poor (BPL in general) getting affected by its projects. The considerations therein have

been compiled as follows:

All the affected families falling under the vulnerable category including the BPL are going to

be assisted to uplift their economic status irrespective of their ownership status. Thus it implies

that, whether they do or do not possess legal title of the lands/assets, whether they are tenants

or encroachers or squatters, they will be assisted in restoring their livelihood.

If the type of loss is agricultural land and assets for an entitled person (EP) from the vulnerable

group, he/she can claim the compensation for the entire land by means of land-for-land instead

of accepting pecuniary compensation to the loss at replacement value, provided land of equal

quality or more productive value is available. All the other assistance remain the same as

those for others including transitional allowances, additional grant for severance of land,

residual plots, expenses on fees, taxes, etc. and alternative economic rehabilitation support and

training for up-gradation of the skills.

In case of loss of non-agricultural private property, option for residential/commercial plot at

resettlement site will be provided free of cost to vulnerable families if so opted by a group of

them apart from all other considerations like compensation at replacement value, transitional

allowance, shifting allowance, rental allowance for disruption caused to BPL tenants,

compensation for advance rental deposits, right to salvage materials for the demolished site,

etc.

A vulnerable person in this case is eligible to receive assistance for structures at replacement

cost. He/she will also have the right to salvage materials for the demolished structure.

There is a provision for additional support to the vulnerable people who have been affected by

the loss of livelihood / primary source of income. The assistance will be the economic

rehabilitation grant supported with vocational training of EPs choice. The training will include

starting of a suitable production or service activity. In case the money is not spent on the

training program, the equivalent amount is to be paid as per EPs choice.

Inter agency linkages for income restoration.

Income generation schemes will be developed in consultation with the project

SIA- RAP REPORT 47


affected/displaced families. The grants received for such purpose for the project, will be used

for the skill development training to upgrade their existing skill, purchase of small scales

capital assets etc. While developing the enterprise development or the income generation

activities, the NGOs will contact the NABARD, SIDBI and other local financial institutions

for financing the economic ventures. The marketing and milk federations will also be

contacted for planning sustainable economic development opportunities.

Short-Term Income Restoration Activities

A short term activity means restoring PAP’s income during periods immediately before and

after relocation. Such activities will focus on the following:

Ensuring that adequate compensation is paid before relocation.

Transit allowances.

Providing short term, welfare based grants and allowances such as: One time relocation

allowance or free transport to resettlement areas or assistance for transport.

Free or subsidized items.

Special allowance for vulnerable groups as per entitlement framework.

Monitoring: After training, the contracted M&E agency shall carry out the monitoring.

Internal monitoring is the responsibility of PIU with support from PMC.

GENDER PLAN

76. There are two important aspects of project where gender issues require to be addressed:

impacts due to acquisition of land for the project and during the construction/

implementation phase.

77. Impacts on women due to land acquisition have been addressed in the following section.

Women as a vulnerable group, woman-headed households, livelihood and training for

women, etc., are mentioned in other sections of the Report also.

Impact on Women

78. Out of 50 households eight woman headed households are affected by the project. They

constitute around 16.00 % of the total affected and displaced population in the project area.

Socio-economic parameters like literacy, work force participation rate and general health

conditions etc. reveals that social status of women is low respectively, thereby brought

forward the scope of considering the households headed by women as vulnerable.

SIA- RAP REPORT 48


79. Low awareness level coupled with insignificant role in decision making at household and

community level further poses constraints for women and other vulnerable groups to access

the opportunities created by the project equitably.

80. The changes caused by relocation tend not to have equal implications for members

of both sexes and may result in greater inconvenience to women. Due to disturbance

in production systems, reduction in assets like land and livestock, women and

marginalized vulnerable groups may have to face additional challenge of running a

household on limited income and resources. This may force women as well as

children to participate in involuntary work to supplement household income, which

may also lead to deteriorate social capital/network of women and men alike hence

making them more vulnerable to both social and environmental hazards. It is

therefore important to assess status of project affected women and other vulnerable

groups, their potential impacts, and accordingly, design an appropriate strategy/plan.

Women Headed Household

81. Women headed households constitute 0.0 .00% of the total PAHs. Table 6.3

shows that no women headed households are getting affected.

Table- 6.3: Number of Women Headed Households

Tehsil Women Headed Households

Mandrayal 0

Total 0

82. The proposed road development is expected to open up new economic opportunities

for women to upgrade their skills and also better accessibility to educational and health

facilities. During consultations, women suggested to provide adequate safety measures

especially at school locations. To ensure that women are secure in receiving payments

all benefits will be provided in joint account where woman will be first beneficiary.

83. Women laborers in the construction work force: there will be requirement of

unskilled laborer where women may likely to involve in such work. Women as

household members of the skilled and semi-skilled laborers will also stay in the

construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the construction phase. The

construction contractors are expected to bring along their laborer force. Thus, in most

cases the laborers, both male and female, will be migratory laborers and there will be

SIA- RAP REPORT 49


involvement of local laborer force, especially for unskilled activities. There will be

involvement of local women also in the local laborer force. Foreseeing the

involvement of women both directly and indirectly in the construction activities,

certain measures are required to be taken towards welfare and wellbeing of

women and children in-particular during the construction phase.

Facilities for Women in Construction Camps

For women working at the construction site and staying in the labour camps, the following

facilities will be ensured:

Temporary housing

84. During the construction the families of laborers/workers will be provided with the suitable

accommodation and facilities for other civic requirements, particularly health and

sanitation;

temporarily set up for the construction camp. These will provide medicines and minimum

medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases will be provided.

Additional child care facilities /crèche will be ensured.

86. A strong vigilance mechanism will have to be developed by the contractor to ensure ceasing

abuses at work places. RAP implementing NGO will provide necessary support to check

such exploitation. Scheduling of working hours for women also needs to be regulated.

Women, especially the mothers with infants will be exempted from the night shifts and

from prolonged working hours.

for mitigation of identified issues along with budget are also incorporated in HPP.

CHAPTER-7

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. INTRODUCTION

91. Suitable institutional arrangements will be made to manage and implement Resettlement

Action Plan. The institutional arrangements will be set up at two levels viz., State and

Project Level.

1. Environmental and Social Management Unit (ESMU)

92. ESMU will be headed by an officer of the rank of Executive Engineer (EE), and will be

responsible for all activities related to resettlement and rehabilitation as shown in Figure

7.1. Chief Engineer (Funding Agency) will have overall responsibility of the project, who

will be assisted by Superintending Engineer (SE). The EE will be assisted by an

Environmental Specialist and a Social Specialist. ESMU will be housed in PWD

headquarters Jaipur. One each Executive Engineers at field divisions will be responsible for

E&S activities.

93. Effective RAP implementation will require institutional relationships & responsibilities,

rapid organizational development & by PWD state govt. & partnering NGO. The ESDU

will establish operational links within PWD (for e.g. finance for release of money on

approval of micro plan) & with other agencies of govt. involved in project induced

settlement. It will provide means & mechanism for coordinating the delivery of the

compensation & assistance entitled to those who will suffer loss. On behalf of PWD,

ESDU will assure the responsibility for representing the social impact & resettlement

component of the project. The ESDU will also be responsible for disseminating the

information to the public & providing additional opportunities for public comment.

94. The ESDU at the apex level will have overall responsibility for policy guidance,

coordination, and contingency planning, monitoring and overall reporting during RAP

implementation.

B. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Ensure that vulnerable families get equal opportunity to participate during

implementation and become overall beneficiaries in the project.

D. RAP IMPLEMENTING SUPPORT AGENCY AT PROJECT LEVEL

District Level Committee (DLC)

97. RAP will be implemented through District Level Committee .The committee would include

District Magistrate or his representative, District Land Acquisition Officer, Pardhan of

Panchayat Sámities, representative of affected villages including women, representative of

revenue department, line departments, people’s representatives, NGO and representatives of

affected population. The formation of DLCs would be facilitated by NGOs. The functions

of the DLC as follows:

i. To meet regularly for reviewing the progress of land acquisition/ R&R;

ii. Approval of the micro-plan on the basis of methodology defined in the RAP;

iii. Facilitate the implementation of the RAP programs in the project-affected area.

The DLC (District Level Committee) would also:

i. Meet regularly at the pre-decided date specifically for grievance redressing purpose;

ii. Help in amicable settlement of disputes at community level;

iii. Carry forward the ones which are not reconciled to the Grievance Redress

Committee;

iv. Co-ordination with local govt. authorities & field offices.

E. COORDINATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

98. R&R Cell will establish networking relationships with in-line departments and other govt.

& non-govt. organizations. The Revenue Department has an influencing role in Land

Acquisition proceedings, and initiation of resettlement process. Unless the compensation

SIA- RAP REPORT 54


process is prompt and efficient, implementation process will get delayed. R&R Cell will

coordinate with the Project Land Acquisition Officer to expedite the land acquisition

process.

99. NGO will facilitate linkages to be established with the agencies implementing centrally

sponsored poverty alleviation programs to restore the income of PAPs. Restoration of

community assets such as hand pumps bore wells which will require help from PHED.

PWD will extensively work on developing lateral linkages for mobilization of resources to

benefit the PAPs and to achieve the desired results expected from implementation of RAP.

100. The Revenue Department is responsible for providing land records, acquiring land and

other properties and handing them over to the proper authorities. The District Rural

Development Agency (DRDA) will extend the IRDP and other developmental schemes to

include the PAPs. The representative of these departments/agencies will be in contact with

the R&R Cell, which will facilitate the integration of the various agencies, involved in the

R&R process.

F. NGO PARTICIPATION

101. Need for NGO: Involuntary resettlement is a sensitive issue and experience in R&R

matters will be required by the PIU, R&R Cell. A good rapport with the affected

community will facilitate a satisfactory R&R of the PAPs and minimize disturbance

particularly physical and economic. To overcome this deficiency, experience and well-

qualified NGO in this field will be engaged to assist the PWD in the implementation of the

RAP. Three NGOs will be hired, two for RAP implementation and one for HIV/AIDS,

women trafficking etc. The third NGO should have core competence in addressing social

issues such as HIV/AIDS; child labor, women empowerment, anti- trafficking and other

right based issues.

102. The NGO, in this sense, will have to ensure that the due entitlements flow to the PAPs in

the most effective and transparent manner. The success of the NGO inputs will largely

depend on their liaison with the PAPs and other concerned government agencies. Other

involved agencies are expected to collaborate with Project, based on instructions from the

PWD, in accordance with the policy framework and the RAP. These arrangements have to

be made during the first month of Project implementation in order to set up the various

committees and implementation mechanisms required for the project.

103. Role of NGO: The role of NGO would be of a facilitator. The NGO will work as a link

between the PIU - R&R Cell and the affected community. They will educate the PAPs on

the need to implement the Project, on aspects relating to LA and R&R measures and

ensures proper utilization of various compensations extended to the PAPs under the R&R

SIA- RAP REPORT 55


entitlement package. After the approval of the micro plans, the NGO will issue identity

cards to the entitled persons.

NGO Consultancy will facilitate the resettlement process. Its broad objectives will be to:

Develop rapport between the PAPs and the PWD;

Develop project level plans for R&R in consultation with the PAPs and communicate

same to PWD;

Explain to the PAPs about the options available for their land and properties acquired

for the Project;

Assist the PAPs to identify suitable land for agricultural purposes;

Assist PWD in making arrangements for the smooth relocation of the PAPs;

Ensure proper utilization by the PAPs of various compensations available under the

R&R package;

Assist the PAPs in getting benefits from various government development programs;

Help the PAPs in the Redressal of their grievances at the Grievance Reprisal

Committee;

Trained the PAPs, if necessary, in acquiring literacy and income-generation related

schemes;

Provide appropriate field staff; and

Any other responsibility that may be assigned by the PWD for the welfare of the

affected communities.

104. In assisting the PAPs to choose among different options available to them, analysis must

first be made of likely benefits and potential risks for each of the options. Conducting this

analysis is the responsibility of the PWD, in collaboration with the agencies (government or

NGO) engaged in implementing the various activities. Following such an analysis, the risks

and benefits shall be explained to the PAPs and sufficient time given to them to make an

informed choice.

105. In choosing between different options, whether it is cash compensation or various

rehabilitation schemes, the PWD shall make use of the baseline socio-economic survey

data, and ensure that those PAPs considered vulnerable are encouraged to choose the

options entailing the lowest risk.

106. As a general principle for the RAP, individual PAPs will be monitored to ensure that are

able to regain or improve their former socio-economic status and quality of life. If it

becomes clear that the assistance given under the Project is insufficient to obtain this goal

SIA- RAP REPORT 56


within the life of the resettlement program, then consideration should be given to whether

additional assistance or support towards different activities need be given.

107. In order to carry out such tasks, the employees of the NGO are to be stationed in the project

area. Besides contacting the PAPs on an individual basis to regularly update the baseline

information group meetings and village-level meetings will be conducted by the NGO on a

regular basis. The frequencies of such meetings will depend on the requirements of the

PAPs but should occur at least once a month. The NGO will have to encourage participation

of individual PAPs in such meeting by discussing their problems regarding LA, R&R and

other aspects relating to their socio-economic lives. Such participation will make it easier to

find a solution acceptable to all involved.

a. Compensation and Assistance Procedures

ESMU will facilitate for joint verification of land by LAO. Valuation of assets within

affected land will be carried out by respective Departments. Implementing NGO will

facilitate and assist in the valuation of assets.

Micro-Plan will be prepared for each affected person. Micro-Plan will have details of

affected area of land and the compensation for the same (including compensation for

various assets located within the affected land) along with entitlements as per the

Resettlement Policy Framework for respective members of households. NGO will

prepare the Micro-Plan.

The compensation for land and other assets for titleholders (assets alone in the case of

non- titleholders) will be disbursed through Revenue Department.

Assistance as per entitlement provisions for both titleholders and non-titleholders will

be disbursed through PIU.

Any grievances arise during valuation of land or other assets and estimation of

entitlements will be referred to the Grievance Redress Committee. This will also be

facilitated by NGO.

b. Complaint Handling Mechanism

108. Being a project involving large scale of civil works along with implementation of RAP, the

project is likely to receive suggestions, complaints, inquiries, etc. PWD recognizes the

importance of this and hence intends to address such issues through the Complaints

Handling Procedures, under which a centralized monitoring of all the complaints received

from and through various mechanisms / individuals can efficiently take place.

SIA- RAP REPORT 57


109. Complaints Handling Procedure ensures that any citizen can lodge complaints with (i) any

officer not below the rank of executive engineer in charge of the work, and (ii) any officer

in charge of the redress systems in vogue in the state. Complaints related to (i) project

services (new proposal/alteration in the scope of project, ongoing /completed project

services in the areas of quality, procurement, R&R, environment and inaction/delayed

action) and (ii) personnel (misbehavior, corruption, service matter).

110. Complaints Handling Procedures assigns SE, PIU as the Chief Complaint Handling Officer

with set roles and responsibilities. He is mainly responsible for complaints not related to

personnel. Complaints related to personnel require to be dealt with as per the existing

system. Training to the employees working under the present project, needs to be given for

clear understanding of the procedures involved and to treat the complaints as an opportunity

for improvement and not to discriminate / antagonize the complainant in future dealings.

c. GRIEVANCE REDRESS CELL

111. There is a need for an efficient grievance redress mechanism, which will assist the PAPs in

resolving queries and complaints. Any disputes will be addressed through the grievance

reprisal mechanism.

112. Formation of Grievance Redress Cell (GRC) is most important for grievance redress and it

is anticipated that most, if not all grievance, are settled by the GRC. Detailed investigation

will be undertaken which may involve field investigation with the concerned PAPs. The

GRCs are expected to resolve the grievances of the eligible persons within a stipulated time.

The decision of the GRCs is binding, unless vacated by court of law.

113. The GRCs will continue to function, for the benefit of the PAPs, during the entire life of the

project including the defects liability periods. The response time prescribed for the GRCs is

15 days. The GRC will meet once in a fortnight to expedite Redressal of grievances.

114. People are not debarred from moving to the court for issues including those related to R&R

Entitlement. However, it is expected that the GRCs will play a very crucial role in

redressing grievances of the PAPs, and will help the implementation of the project as

scheduled.

i. Constitution of Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)

115. The committee will comprise of representatives of local NGOs; public representatives (viz.,

Member of Parliament, Member of Legislative Assembly, etc) from respective district;

representative of women group, squatters and vulnerable PAFs; line department and

affected persons especially women as well as the representative of respective district

SIA- RAP REPORT 58


administration. Minimum participation of women in GRC will be 33%. At least two persons

from each group will be there in the GRC. The functions of the GRC will be:

To provide support for the PAPs on problems arising out of Land / Property acquisition;

To record the grievances of the PAPs, categorizes and prioritize and solve them within

a month;

To inform PIU of serious cases within an appropriate time frame; and

To report to the aggrieved parties about the development regarding their grievance and

decision of PIU.

ii. Operational Mechanism

116. It is proposed that GRC will meet regularly (at least once in 15 days) on a pre-fixed date

(preferably on first 7th day of the month). The committee will look into the grievances of

the people and will assign the responsibilities to implement the decisions of the committee.

The committee will deliver its decision within a month of the case registration.

Figure 7.2: Grievance Redressal Mechanism

SIA- RAP REPORT 59


117. The mechanism will be based on existing laws; Figure 7.2 gives the GRC mechanism. The

Grievance Redressal Cell (GRC) will be set up at each district. Grievance not resolved

amicably at the district level will be routed through NGO to the GRC. Arbitrator may also

be appointed for unresolved cases. Arbitrator will be selected by PIU. Minimum litigation

will be the prime effort and going to judiciary will be avoided as far as possible.

118. The various queries, complaints and problems that are likely to be generated among the

PAPs will primarily relate to disputes of ownership of assets, identification of legal heirs of

deceased property owner and other non-land related issues.

119. The PIU and office of PWD will act as Public Information Centers, which will be in

possession of all documents relating to the Project including compensation packages and

grievance Redressal procedures, and will provide any information regarding compensation

and grievance Redressal.

120. Through public consultations, the PAPs will be informed that they have a right to grievance

redress. The PAPs can call upon the support of NGO to assist them in presenting their

grievances or queries to the GRC. The NGO will act as an in-built grievance reprisal body.

iii. Grievance Redress Steps

121. The successive grievance redress stages are illustrated in the flow chart Figure 3 District

Level Committees: The first stage will be District level Committees (DLCs) and the NGOs.

The PAPs will be encouraged to be part of DLCs composed of:

Representatives of affected persons;

Panchayat members of the affected villages; and

NGO field worker

122. 33% participation of women from affected families and full participation of women from

the women headed households will also be encouraged.

123. The DLCs and the NGOs will meet at regular intervals as decided by the community,

specifically for grievance redressing purposes at a pre-decided date, time and place. The

PAPs can be formally present in these meetings and discuss their queries and grievances. At

the community level, the committee will have the power to resolve matters either by

providing information or agreeing on a follow-up action. It may also reject some grievances

for not being legitimate. However, it will have to explain to the PAP the premise for not

recording the grievance. Legitimate grievances, which the DLC is unable to resolve, will be

taken to the GRC, which will then take the necessary action after reviewing the findings of

SIA- RAP REPORT 60


a thorough investigation. The DLC will maintain a register of all queries and grievances,

and the subsequent action taken.

124. The PAPs will present their grievance, concerning compensation for structures / land and

R&R assistance to the DLC/NGO. The DLC and NGO will examine the grievance, and

where required will review with DRO/CA and will do utmost to reach an amicable

settlement to the satisfaction of the PAPs.

iv. Role of PWD/PIU Headquarters

125. The PAPs, who would not be satisfied with the decision of the GRC, will have the right to

take the grievance to the PWD/PIU Head Office for its reprisal. Failing the reprisal of

grievance at PWD/PIU, the PAPs will take the case to Arbitration. The Arbitrator(s) will be

independent but appointed by PWD. Taking grievances to arbitration and Judiciary will be

avoided as far possible and the NGO will make utmost efforts at reconciliation at the GRC

level.

Figure 7.3: Levels of Grievance Redressal

SIA- RAP REPORT 61


d. MECHANISM FOR TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING

126. Training and development of project staff is an integral part for implementation. Training

needs identification shall be carried out at State level (PIU), Regional level and at Field

level, based on which focused training modules shall be developed. This is with the

objective of (i) strengthening in-house capacity to implement the RPF/RAP; (ii) creating

awareness, providing the tools for implementation and accompanying set of management

procedures to all departments; and (iii) developing competence within key officials to

provide training in their respective level.

The topics for training and capacity building include:

Introduction to social & R&R issues (R&R policies at state/national/international

level, social issues pertaining to R&R ( participation of women, poverty assessment,

anti -poverty programs, highway related diseases, road safety, transparency, right to

information);

Land acquisition (Acts, policies, valuation of land, concept of replacement value, /

market value, institutional mechanism etc.);

Social Impact Assessment and RAP/HIV/AIDS Awareness, prevention plan (social

screening, census survey, socioeconomic survey, methodology, focus group

discussions, institutional survey, free, prior informed consultation, data analysis

report preparation);

Resettlement Policy Framework (category of PAPs, category of impacts, valuation of

assets (land, structure, crops, trees, community assets, etc.), entitlements, women and

vulnerable groups, temporary impacts, disruption/damage during construction and

respective mitigation measures);

RAP implementation (updating PAP database, joint verification of affected

structures/land and affected population, preparation of Micro Plan, grievance redress

procedures, conflict resolution packages, assistance and training for income

restoration, monitoring and evaluation of social safeguards implementation.

The training programs are to be conducted with the help of local, state and national

level training institutions and experts in various aspects of social management and

safeguard issues. PIU will also identify courses offered by the premier institutions in

India on social management and safeguard issues and enable participation of project

staff. Towards enhancing the capacity of the PWD engineers on social safeguards

management.

activities, which have been considered. However, sometimes sequence may change

or delays witnessed due to circumstances beyond the control of the Project.

SIA- RAP REPORT 66


CHAPTER-9

MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING

A. NEED FOR MONITORING

131. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are critical activities in involuntary resettlement in order

to ameliorate problems faced by the PAPs and develop solutions immediately. Monitoring

is a periodic assessment of planned activities providing midway inputs facilitates changes

and gives necessary feedback of activities and the directions on which they are going,

whereas Evaluation is a summing up activity at the end of the project assessing whether the

activities have actually achieved their intended goals and purposes. The M&E mechanism

will measure project performance and fulfillment of the project objectives.

132. Internal monitoring of the implementation of social safeguards will be carried out by the

PIU with support of Project Management Consultant/Supervision Consultant. Towards

enhancing the quality of RAP implementation, in addition to the internal monitoring by the

PIU, external monitoring will be done by a third-party agency or Project Management

Consultant (PMC) for technical as well as environmental/social aspects. The role of third-

party agency/PMC towards external monitoring of social safeguards will include the

following:

Conduct periodic monitoring of RAP implementation on quarterly basis to provide

early alert to redress any potential problems;

Conduct mid-term, and end term evaluation to assess target achievements and

slippages with respect to implementation of RAP; and

Grievance redressal mechanisms – it’s functioning and processes along with

complaints received and resolved will be monitored.

133. The RAP will contain indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives under

the resettlement programme. These indicators and benchmarks will be of (i): proposed

indicators, indicating project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment, etc; (ii) output

indicators, indicating results in terms of numbers of affected People compensated and

assisted, training held, details of disbursements, etc; and (iii) impact indicators, related to

the longer-term effect of the project on communities.

134. The benchmarks and indicators will be limited in number, and combine quantitative and

qualitative types of data. The first two types of indicators, related to process and immediate

outputs and results, will be monitored to inform project management about progress and

results, and to adjust the work programme where necessary if delays or problems arise. The

results of this monitoring will be summarized in reports which will be submitted to the PIU

SIA- RAP REPORT 67


on a regular basis. Provision will be made for participatory monitoring involving the PAPs.

Illustrative set of monitoring indicators for physical progress, financial progress and

grievance redress have been presented in Table 9.1, Table 9.2 and Table 9.3.

persons for payment of compensation and assistance for restoring livelihoods, and

improving or at least retaining the living standards in the post resettlement period. In order

to assess achievement of the overall objective of the RAP, the project shall carry out mid

and End-Term evaluation exercise to review the project implementation and progress

against the pre-project baseline information. The parameters shall include: Economic i.e.

households below poverty level, household income, occupational status (including changes

if any), changes in ownership of other economic (productive or non- productive) assets. It

shall form the basis for carrying out any mid-course corrections, if required and as
