1 Imaluena. 1.1 BACKGROUND

The proposed Assam State Road Project (ASRP) is an initiative of the Government of Assam (GoA) to undertake road improvements and related asset management in the state. In order to achieve the set goals, the GoA has requested the World Bank (WS) for a funding of US $ 200 million for upgradation and periodic maintenance including replacement of timber bridges of Phase I roads.

The development of the state roads hold high level of importance as Assam is not only the gateway to the north eastern states but also provides regional interconnectivity. The National Highways, State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDRs) of Assam get traffic flows from the seven north eastern states. With limited rail connectivity due to the difficult terrain in the region, most of the traffic, both passenger and goods use the roads in Assam. The condition of the road network in Assam is poor and has suffered from years of neglect. The present condition is the result of under-funding in road development, inadequate maintenance and frequent damages due to recurrent floods. The total road network in the state is around 41,298 km, of which only 20% are paved as compared to the national average of 58%. About 94% of the roads are still single lane and about 40% of SH and MDRs have earth or gravel surface. Majority of the roads have poor riding quality, weak pavements, inadequate capacity and no over bridges.

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed ASRP includes two major components of 1) Road Improvements and 2) Asset Management. The SUb-components of these have been discussed below:

Component 1: Road Improvement (about 95% of the project cost) including civil works for a combination of road widening/upgrading and pavement rehabilitation/strengthening (within the existing Right of Way (ROW)) of about 1200 km high priority core network roads including bridges and road safety engineering measures).

The improvement works including pavement strengthening/rehabilitation and other improvements within the existing RoW will be implemented under two Phases: Phase I covering 800 km of road length and Phase \I containing the remaining 400km. Further, the Phase-I will be implemented in 2 stages, out of which the Stage - I will cover a road length of 310 km. The details of the project roads to be taken up in Stage - I is given in Table 1-1 and locations of the project corridors shown in Figure 1-1.

Component 2: Asset Management (about 5% of the project costs) to:

Develop and operationalize a simple Asset Management System (AMS). Implement Annual Maintenance Plans (AMPs) for a primary core network - prepared through the AMS and involving new/improved methods of execution of maintenance works. Develop and implement an action plan to improve road transport services and operations.

• Implement PWD's Institutional Development Action Plan to modernize and strengthen the PWD so that it can better manage its road assets. The Plan would include development of a road sector policy/strategy, development of a Road Management Act, revision of existing PWO code, strengthening of Road Board functions, and measures to increase PWO's staff capacity/productivity.

1.4 NEED FOR RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN (RAP)

The inadequacy of available RoW along the project corridor has triggered the need for fand acquisition (extent of land acquisition varies from 1.0 m to 5.0 m along the project corridor). To address the impacts due to fand acquisition and displacement, this RAP has been prepared. The entitlement matrix of the RAP for the ASRP has been prepared after duly incorporating the provisions of the state policy 1, the National R&R policy and the Operational Policies (OP) on Involuntary Resettlement of the World Bank. The RAP for SH-46 includes the following:

Measures towards IT!inimization of resettlement and land acquisition impacts;

• Assessment of impacts on land and assets; Details and findings of Stakeholders' consultations;

• Institutional arrangements for Implementation of RAP;

• Indigenous Peoples' Development Plan; Strategies for HIV/AIDS and road safety awareness;

Gender development plan; and Estimation of budget for implementation of the R&R provisions.

1.5 METHODOLOGY FOR RAP PREPARATION

The RAP for the project road has been prepared based on the baseline information of the project corridor, assessment of impacts due to land acquisition, minimiz8tion of impacts through alternative design options, continued consultation process, and identification of various social development issues like HIV/AIDS, gender development and tribal development. The methodology for impact assessment and RAP preparation is presented in Figure 1-7.

FINAL RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN (SH-4Z) NOVEMBER,2011

information collected provided a preliminary understanding about the issues to be addressed in the project.

1.5.2 Screening Process

Environmental and social screening was carried out during the initial design stage to identify environmental and social issues and critical location with respect to the project corridor. The outcome of the study was used in finalization of alignment and design options. The screening was carried out for direct and indirect impact zones. Direct impact zone varied between 6.5 mts. and 15mts. from the centerline on either side of the road. Indirect impact zone was assessed upto 10 Km from the project road. A sensitivity analysis was carried out for all the roads for the following selected parameters:

• Extent of RoW available; Extent of built up areas f settlements along road side;

• Cultural properties like temple, Shrine, mosque, Church, graveyards, and burial grounds,

• Community Assets; • Protected monuments;

Natural resources, ponds, rivers, forests, etc; and, Alternative Alignment Options.

1.5.3 Data Collection and Analysis

Table 1-3 presents the primary and secondary sources of information for the RAP preparation.

• Structured Census and Socio-Economic Survey of PAPs (Annexure 1-1 gives the questionnaire administered):

Census survey has been carried out for 100% of PAH present during the survey period for the project corridor. The last date of the census survey was the cut of date for the PAP/PAH to establish their presence within the project corridor of impact. The cut of date for the project corridor is 07.12.2010. The socio-economic baseline survey was carried out for 25 % of the project affected households. The census survey includes the details of the project affected HH, details of the property (land, structures, use of the structure, age, level of impacts, etc. The socio-economic baseline survey includes name of persons, gender, age, marital status, education, occupation and income details. The census survey was based on the final design duly approved by the ASRP. The PAPs along the proposed corridor of impact were verified with reference to the centreline of the proposed corridor. The distance and offset of the assets and properties from the new centre tine were measured. This helped to arrive at the updated and final list of PAPs.

Updating of Census Survey Data However, the implementing agenciesl RAP implementation NGO will carry out verification of PAPs during implementation of the project and update the list of PAPs. Consultations with PAPs, key informants and interview with important secondary stakeholders will also be undertaken. Database was collected from the following sources to substantiate analysis of baseline situation in the project area. • Directorate of Welfare of Plain Tribes and Backward Classes, Govt. of

Assam; • Assam Institute of Research for Tribal and Schedule Castes; • Dept. of Water Resources Management, Gov!. of Assam; • Assam State Aids Control Society(ASACS);

1.5.4 Alternative Options and Minimization of Impacts

To minimize land acquisition and its impacts on assets and livelihood of people, discussions on the land availability at various critical locations were carried out with the PWD, at an early stage of the design preparation. Accordingly, different cross sections were adopted and RoW options have been proposed for rural and urban areas. The following two options of RoW were considered during the design:

Option-1: 40 m RoW - i.e. 20m on either side as desired for State highways.

Option-2: RoW to construction limit - area required for construction and 2 m for the utility lines in rural areas and 15 m in urban areas.

Option-2 has been selected for the entire corridor as it reduces private land required for acquisition from 32.00 ha to 2.9 ha and number of affected structures from 110 to 72. The details of structure affected are presented in Table 1-5.

Currently, there are no bypasses along the settlements along the entire corridor, There are no new bypasses proposed. To minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts, concentric widening is adopted in all the built-up sections of urban areas, The proposed designs have been prepared without shifting the existing centerline and minor realignments proposed at places where geometric improvements are warranted and at locations for construction of new bridges,

1.5.5 Stakeholders' Consultation

Consultations with stakeholder groups have been an integral part of the project preparation process and in the preparation of RAP. The specific stages at which consultation were to be carried out were identified. This was followed by identification of key stakeholders and the mechanisms for conducting these consultations (FGDs. Group meetings and individual interviews). The purpose of these consultations was to:

Identify issues of PAPs related to the project and discussion of measures to address the same; Developing sense of ownership; and Planning for future consultation.

1.5.6 Magnitude of Impacts

The land acquisition and resettlement impacts due to the project include loss of assets, including land and house; loss of livelihood and income opportunities; collective impacts on groups, such as loss of common property resources and cultural properties. Due to land acquisition and clearing of existing RoW from encroachments, 73 structures are impacted along the project corridor (Refer Table 1-5), which includes residential, commercial, community assets, religious structures and government buildings, Among the affected structures 45 are partially impacted while the remaining is fully impacted. A total of 61 agriculture land parcels will be affected by the proposed development. The details of the impacted structures and the loss of assets and livelihood have been assessed and have formed basis for the preparation of RAP.

1.5.7 RAP implementation Arrangements

To address the Resettlement impacts, an action plan has been worked out which includes: institutional mechanisms, grievance redress mechanisms, procedures for disbursements of entitlements and livelihood restoration mechanisms, involvement of NGOs in implementation, monitoring of effectiveness of RAP implementation etc. Budget for implementation of RAP is prepared for the project.

To address the resettlement impacts, an action plan has been worked out which includes: institutional mechanisms, grievance redressal mechanisms, procedures for disbursements of entitlements, livelihood restoration mechanisms, involvement of NGOs in implementation, monitoring of effectiveness of RAP implementation etc. and estimated budget for implementation of the RAP.

1.5.8 Road Safety Awareness

One of the most important aspects of road improvement planning under the present project is to provide safer road to its users. Generally road accidents are related to (i) road user behaviour, including pedestriaps, drivers and passengers of motorized and non-motorized vehicles; (ii) the road condition, including physical condition of the road infrastructure, and (iii) traffic management including the traffic control devices, e.g., traffic signs and road markings; and law enforcement.. A strategy for road safety awareness has been prepared as part of RAP involving various institutional players and the community. The strategy involves the community and groups like SHGs and PRls, Road safety strategy for community awareness has been formulated based on

IIIIJ 1-11


FINAL RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN (5H-42) NOVEMBER, ZOl1

information collected from secondary sources. Major junctions and important curves have been identified as hot spots for road design. These locations will be considered to spread road safety awareness.

1.5.9 HIV/AIDS and Road Development

An assessment of the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS, spatial distribution of high-risk groups, hot pots, potential of spread of epidemic were the major aspects stUdied. Also, elaborate consultations with stakeholder groups were carried out to develop insight for developing an intervention strategy.

An HIV/STD awareness programme has been prepared as part of the RAP. The awareness programme will be implemented by the project by appointing an NGO, working within the project region.

A strategy for prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission has been prepared. This includes strategy for Information-Education-Communication (IEC), Behaviour Change Communication (BCC), free contraceptive distribution and care and support. The budget for operationalising the strategy is included in the R&Rbudget.

1.5.10 Indigenous Peoples Development Plan

With a ST population of 12% to the total population, Assam has several areas inhabited by tribal communities. To address the issues of tribal PAPs and communities in the settlements located along the project road an Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) has been prepared as part of the project in line with Indigenous Peoples Management Framework of ASRP. While the census survey was used to identify the PAPs belonging to the ST communities and aSsess the potential impacts, consultations were held with the tribal communities to secure their consent for the proposed road development. Strategies for addressing impacts on these PAHs were formulated based on secondary data, field observation and consultation. Based on consultations with the tribal groups, additional measures such as the development of community halls etc. in the villages along the corridor have been identified for inclusion in the project. The budget for the implementation of the measures for IPs is included in the RAP budget.

1.5.11 Gender Development Plan

To ensure the involvement of the women PAPs in the project. a Gender Development Plan has been prepared to streamline the involvement of women in the project. They would play an important role in ensuring that equal opportunities in economic activities are provided during rehabilitation. An analysiS of social and economic status of women in the project region and among the PAPs has been carried out through secondary sources of information and inferences from the census survey.

1.6 STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT

The chapter presents (i) the existing acts, rules and policies related to land acquisition and rehabilitation and resettlement of project affected persons/community/groups at the state and national level; and (ii) World Bank safeguard policies on involuntary resettlement, indigenous population, community assets, cultural properties and their relevance to the project.

2.2 R&R AND OTHER RELEVANT POLICIES FOR THE PROJECT

The legislations and policies relevant to the project are:

• Assam State Roads Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy (ASRRRP), 2004; • National Policy on Rehabilitation and Resettlement (2007);

Land Acquisition Act (1894) and further amendments; The constitution (73rd Amendment) Act Part IX of the constitution of India 1992;

• The National Tribal Policy, 2006; • The Scheduled Tribes (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act 2005;

World Bank Operational Policies relevant to Involuntary Resettlement; and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002.

2.2.1 Assam State Roads Resettlement & Rehabilitation Policy (ASRRRP), 2004

The GoA has enacted Assam State Roads Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy (2004). The policy has been prepared for the management and mitigation of impacts arising due to road improvement projects. The policy broadly covers the issues related to land acquisition, displacements, compensation, resettlement assistances to the project affected persons, institutional arrangement for implementation and grievance redressal mechanism. The broad principles of Assam State R&R Policy (2004) are as follows:

• To prevent State-induced impoverishment of people on account of compulsory acquisition of land and to specify the categories of affected person/families that should be covered under the specific packages for R&R; To specify the benefits available under the packages for universal application throughout the State of Assam, and to provide such minimum assistance. some of them being mandatory, to ensure that the most vulnerable group of citizens get reasonable protection to their loss of productive assets and livelihood; and the displaced families get dwelling houses as well as such financial assistance to ensure that displaced person/families do continue to have the standard of life as close to the one before their displacement as feasible;

• To start a regime of planned relocation & rehabilitation as may be necessary. for the displaced and adversely affected families; To ensure specific attention to address the special needs of the displaced and adversely affected personlfamilies;

• To provide a standing organizational set up for preparing. implementing and monitoring the relocation & rehabilitation schemes and grievance redressal so that. whenever necessary. the affected personlfamilies are resettled and rehabilitated quickly and justly; To provide minimum basic amenities in the villages and colonies where the displaced person/families are resettled in large number; and

• To get peaceful and quick physical possession of the acquired land for speedy implementation of public purpose schemes and developmental projects.

2.2.2 National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy (2007)

The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP) provides guidelines and execution instructions applicable to all projects. It provides that the basic minimum requirements of projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and resettlement issues comprehensively. The state Governments, public sector undertakings or agencies and other requiring bodies are at liberty to put in place greater benefit levels than those prescribed in the NRRP, 2007. The objectives of the NRRP are as follows:

• To minimise displacement and to promote, as far as possible, non-displacing or least-displacing alternatives; To ensure adequate rehabilitation package and expeditious implementation of the rehabilitation process with the active participation of the affected families; To ensure that special care is taken for protecting the rights of the weaker sections of society, especially members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and to create obligations on the State for their treatment with concern and sensitivity; To provide a better standard of living, making concerted efforts for providing sustainable income to the affected families; and To integrate rehabilitation concems into the development planning and implementation process; and where, displacement is on account of land acquisition, to facilitate harmonious relationship between the requiring body. and affected families through mutual cooperation.

NRRP 2007 distinguishes between projects requiring large extent of land and those involving linear acquisitions where the loss to an individual will be minimal. In projects relating to railway lines, highways, transmission lines, laying of pipelines and other such projects wherein only a narrow stretch of land is acquired for the purpose of the project or is utilised for right of way, the NRRP provides for an ex-gratia payment of not less that RS.25, 000/- in addition to the compensation or any other benefits due under the project. However. if as a result of such land acquisition. the land-holder becomes landless or is reduced to the status of a "small" or "marginal" farmer, other rehabilitation and resettlement benefits available under NRRP shall also be extended to such affected families. Further, the affected families will have the option to take a lump-sum amount in lieu of one or more of the benefits specified under NRRP. A comparison of the provision of the ASRRRP, the NRRP and the proposed entitlements under the ASRP has been carried out and presented in Annexure 2-1.

2.2.3 The Land Acquisition Act, 1894

The land acquisition in Assam is taken up as per Land Acquisition Act (LAA) 1894 and its further amendments and all acquisition of land under the ASRP would be under this Act. The LAA illustrates stepwise procedure of land acquisition and provides for compensation for the properties to be acquired. The LAA was amended in 1984 to extend the scope of public purpose to include land acquisition for the purpose of resettlement and rehabilitation of people affected by development projects for which land has been acquired. The procedure of LA under this act is summarized below:

Investigation

• When a local authority or a company requires a land, 'an application is required to be made by it to the revenue authority;

• The application should be accompanied with a copy of the plan showing survey nos., purpose of acquisition and the reason for the particular site to be chosen and the provision made for the cost of the acquisition;

• After the government has been fully satisfied about the purpose, the least area needed, and other relevant facts as provided under land acquisition rules, it will issue a notification under Section 4 (1) of the act that the particular land is required for public purpose;

EA & SA for Assam State Roads Project

PWD, Government af Assam FINAL RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN (SH-42)

NOVEMBER,2011

The collector (or any person authorised by the Collector in this behalf) will hold an inquiry under Section 5-A of the Act;

• After notification the owner is prohibited from selling his property or disposing it off and prevented from carrying out any works of improvements for which no compensation will be paid if executed without prior permission from the collector.

• The objections will be valid on one or more of the following grounds: L That the purpose for Which the land is proposed for acquisition is not a public purpose. ii. That the land is not or less suitable than another piece of land for the said purpose, iii. That the area under acquisition is excessive. iv, That the acquisition will destroy or impair historical or artistic monuments or will desecrate religious

buildings, graveyards and the like, The collector after hearing the objections will submit his report to the government, who will finally declare the land for acquisition under Section 6 of the Act. After notification the collector proceeds with the claim. He has the site marked out, measured and a plan of the same made vide Section 8.

Claim and Award

• The collector will issue notices under Section 9 to all persons interested in the acquisition to file their claim reports;

• The collector is not to be a party to the proceedings, is to possess an expert knowledge on valuation, and offers a fair price to an owner and checks that the public funds are not wasted;

• The claim filed should contain the names of the claimants and co-shares, if any rents or profits for last three years and a valuation report of the land from an architect or an engineer;

• The government can abandon the acquisition proceedings by simply canceling the notification. However, in that case compensation has to be paid under Section 48(2);

• In determining the compensation the market value of the land is determined at the date of notification. The rise and fall in the value during the period of transaction and notification is taken into consideration;

• Compensation is also payable when: i. Part of the property is proposed for acquisition in such a manner that the remainder depreCiates in

value, ii. When the land notified for acquiSition has standing crops or trees. iii. If the person interested has to change his place of residence or business then the excess rent

payable for the new premises is also considered for compensation. Matters which are not taken into consideration for the purpose of land acquisition are: i. The degree of urgency which has led to the acquiSition. ii. Any disinclination of the person interested to part with the land. iii.

2.2.6 The National Tribal Policy (2006)

The Policy has the following objectives:

Regulatory Protection

• Providing an environment conducive to the preservation of traditional and customary systems and regime of rights and concessions enjoyed by different ST communities, and reconciliation of modes of socio-economic development with these,

• Preventing alienation of land owned by STs and restoring possession of wrongfully alienated lands. Protection and vesting of rights of ST s on forestlands and other forest rights including ownership over minor forest produce (MFP), minerals and water bodies through appropriate legislations and conversion of all forest villages into revenue villages.

• Providing a legislative frame for rehabilitation and resettlement in order to minimize displacement, ensure that affected persons are partners in the growth in the zone of influence, provide for compensation of social and opportunity cost in addition to market value of the land and rights over common property (NPV).

• Empowerment of tribal communities to promote self-governance and self-rule as per the provisions and spirit of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996.

• Protection of political rights to ensure greater and active partiCipation of tribal peoples in political bodies at all levels.

Alienation of Tribal Land

• Alienation of tribal land is the single most important cause of pauperization of tribal peoples, rendering their vulnerable economic situation more precarious. Poor land record system in tribal areas coupled

2-4



NOVEMBER,2011

with the illiteracy, poverty and ignorance of tribal peoples and the greed of others have resulted in the continuous transfer of resources from Iribals to non-tribals for several decades. Competent legal aid will be made available timely to tribals at all stages of litigation.

• State Land laws will be in conformity with the PESA Act (The Provisions of the (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996". The Act is meant to enable tribal society to assume control over their own destiny to preserve and conserve their traditional rights over natural resources.

Displacement, Rehabilitation and Resettlement

The principle of least displacement would be mandatorily followed. • An exhaustive social impact assessment would be conducted before initiating a development project. • Displacement would be after mandatory consultation with the community as provided in the PESA Act. • The principle of 'land for land' in the command area or zone of influence would be followed

scrupulously. • There will be mandatory consultations with Tribes Advisory Councils in case of displacement of STs

from the Scheduled Areas. • STs displaced from Scheduled Areas shall be allotted alternative lands in Scheduled Areas only. • Compensation would be computed not merely on the basis of the replacement value of the individual

land rights lost, but on the market value of land, the concept of net present value, loss of opportunity cost, community rights, and livelihoods.

• The PAFs would have first right 10 get employment in the project. Training should be organized for the induction of PAFs even before the project is initiated.

• The implementation of R&R would be upfront to make the process of displacement more humane. • A ground level monitoring mechanism, involving representatives of the PAFs and post implementation

social audit will also be ensured. • In application to Scheduled Areas, the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the National Policy

on Resettlement and Rehabilitation- 2007, the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957 and the National mineral Policy, 1993 will be amended to harmonize with those of the PESA Act. 1996.

Empowerment

The Provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA) came into force on 24th December, 1996 with the objective of safeguarding and preserving the traditions and customs of the people living in the Schedule areas, their social, religious and cultural identities, and traditional management practices of community resources.

2.2.7 Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002

The Act provides for the inclusion in the lists of Scheduled Tribes (ST), of certain tribes or tribal communities or parts of or groups within tribes or tribal communities, equivalent names or synonyms of such tribes or communities, removal of area restrictions and bifurcation and clubbing of entries: imposition of area restriction in respect of certain castes in the lists of Scheduled Castes (SC) and the exclusion of certain castes and tribes from the lists of SCs and STs.

2.2.8 The Scheduled Tribes (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2005

To recognize and vest the forest rights and occupation in forest land in forest dwelling STs who have been residing in such forests for generations but whose rights could not be recorded: to provide for a framework for recording the forest rights so vested and the nature of evidence required for such recognition and vesting in respect of forest land.

This policy recognizes that a majority of STs continue to live below the poverty line, have poor literacy rates, suffer from malnutrition and diseases and are vulnerable to displacement and the

2.4 STEPS INVOLVED IN LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS

Land Acquisition Plan (LAP) will be prepared with the help of field maps of villages. The details of area to be acquired will be verified in the field and subsequently submitted to ASRP to take up the LA with the concerned District Administration. The institutional arrangements for land acquisition are presented in Chapter 10. Steps followed in preparation of LAP are:

• Submission of details of proposed RoW to the DC (District Commissioner) by ASRP; Deputation of a team for the LAP preparation headed by ADC; Superimposition of Designs on Revenue Maps; Verification of each plots under question in the field; Estimating the exact area to be acquired;

• Delineation of project boundary with coordinates of land map; Compilation of village wise land ownership details; and Preparation of LAP up to the requirement of 6(1) notification under LAA.

Proposed land acquisition will be done according to Land Acquisition Act 1894 (as amended up to 1984). Procedure of land acquisition under the LAA, 1894 is described in Table 2-2.

Section 22-24 This section delineates matter to be considered and neglected 60 days while determining compensation,

2.5 PROCEDURE FOR VALUATION

Compensation amount for the land and properties to be acquired or transferred under land transfer Rules shall be paid according to the provisions of the LA Act 1894.

Land: While determining the replacement value for the land, project authorities will take recourse to three methods described below:

Taking into consideration 20 times of the annual value of gross production of the concerned land, averaged over preceding three years.

• Taking into account such prescribed rates or the average of the actual transaction rates of similar lands for which sale deeds are registered. Fixing up market value of land, equal to the minimum land value prescribed by the State Government under the Indian Stamps Act for the purpose of registration of sale deeds under the Indian Registration Act of 1908. Fixing up market value of homestead land will be as provided in the Land Manual or other Revenue Laws,

The replacement value to be fixed up by the project shall be the higher of the three amounts arrived at by the aforesaid two alternate methods. In case replacement value is higher than the market value determined by competent authority the difference shall be paid in the form of assistance.

Buildings: The replacement value of the houses, buildings or other immovable assets will be determined at relevant Basic Schedule of Rates (BSR) of the PWO and deductions will not be made for depreciation.

Fruit bearing tree value: Compensation for trees will be determined as per the laws and pOlicies dealing with the matter in force based on the real market value for timber trees, non-timber, fruit bearing and other trees as per the rates decided by the competent authority in consultation with Departments of Agriculture, Forest & Environment, Sericulture etc. as the case may be.

Replacement Value shall be paid and efforts will be made to complete the R&R of PAPs/POPs before taking possession of the land/properties, The PAPs/POPs shall hand over the land and properties acquired to the GoA free from all encumbrances such as mortgage, debt etc. However, in case of any outstanding loans on such acquired lands and properties that remains unadjusted as per the information furnished by the PAPs/POPs or by the loaner agency, than such amount shall be deducted out of the compensation.

2.6 LIMITATIONS OF LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS AND STRATEGY TO AVOID UNNECESSARY DELAY

One of the preambles of present project planning is that No construction will be allowed under the project unless the land required for civil works is acquired, compensated and handed over to the contractor, It means entire land acquisition process up to section 11 of the LA Act should be completed before the initiation of construction activities. Steps mentioned in LA Act is a time consuming process. Experiences of past LA processes in the State indicate that it requires almost 6-9 month to complete LA process from 4( 1) notification of LA act 1894 to section 11 which denotes completion of LA process up to award and disbursement of compensation). Experiences of similar projects of in other states indicate that the time requirement can be reduced substantially if the land acquisition follows direct purchase in democratic procedure. For

IIII! 2-19

example, steps from section 4(1) to section (9) of LA Act normally take almost 4·8 months to complete. However, time period of these steps could be shortened if direct involvement of PAPs and District Administration is ensured. Findings of consultation suggested involvement of communities in LA process ensures more transparency but help land losers to get compensation at prevailing market rate. Therefore it is sought to form viI/age level committees to involve local communities and to make land acquisition procedure more transparent. This will help in not only minimizing the time in LA process but make the compensation norms more acceptable.

2.6.1 Determination of Compensation through Private NegotiationS

For speeding up the land acquisition process, private negotiations with the concerned land owners will be undertaken for fixing up the land price, and compensation paid. Towards determination of compensation through private negotiations, the fol/owing initiatives will be taken up by the PIU. The procedures outlined in the LA Act will be adopted in case of negotiation fails with the land owners.

Steps to be followed for Private Negotiations

• A time period of 45 days would be available for carrying out negotiations with the landowners. A maximum of 4 rounds of negotiations may be conducted with the landowners. After every round of negotiation, record (documentation) would be sent to the District Collectorf Deputy Commissioner (DC) and PWD for information.

• The negotiation shall be conducted village-wise, involving groups in order to maintain transparency.

Final List of PAPs

The PWD will hand over the final list along with land records map duly verified by the revenue department to the NGO appointed to assist the PIU in RAP implementation.

Role of Appointed NGO

Collect Circle Rates: The NGO with the help of PWD officials will collect the details of land rates (circle rate & registry rate) of the affected villages. On the basis of circle rate/registry rate calculate base rate / minimum offer rate to start negotiation, as given in R&R policy, will be fixed.

Arrange Meetings in the Village of PAPS: The PWD will arrange the venue, in consultation with land owner and DC. A convenient place within the village is preferable. In case of unavailability of venue, same could be arranged in office of the DC / executive engineer and make arrangements for travel of land owners from village to venue.

A written invitation will be given to each land owner and Kannangoan (village level revenue officer) of concerned villages with date, time and venue of negotiation. If any change takes place in the programme the NGO will inform the PAPS.

Before the start of negotiation, related documents i.e., R&R policy, circle rate, etc. will be made available to land owner by PWD/NGO.

During negotiation, the Kannangoan will bring the revenue record along with him, for clarification and reference.

5 The private negotiation process has been adopted in the Punjab State Road Project. The model helped in providing better compensation to the people losing agriculture land. The land acquisition was completed successfully in time with minimum disputes.

Negotiations of Land Rates

The negotiation shall begin by offering a minimum of basic land rate!value. According to R&R policy, a formulae was fixed to achieve basic rate!value i.e.,10% of circle rate (if the circle rate is more than one year old at the time of negotiation, an additional 10% per year will be added) +1.5 times + 30% (Table 2-3).

The revenue officials (any officer representing DC (LA) or ADC himself! herself), members of negotiation committee and CMU officials will be there during negotiation with land owners. For the first round, an introduction will be given by Executive Engineer. Once final negotiated rate is given to DC, the DC will forward the same to the government for approval. On receipt of approval from the Government to the DC, the NGO will prepare the micro plan! issue identity cards and help PAPs to open joint bank accounts so that compensation and assistance can be paid immediately.

Award of Compensation

Disbursement of compensation is primarily the responsibility of revenue department. After land rate have been fixed by the competent authority and has been approved by the GoA, the rate and the calculated amount (as per micro-plan. title-holder) will be sent to ASRP by DC for arrangement of funds. ASRP will deposit the required fund in the account of the Sub Divisional Magistrate-cum-Land Acquisition Competent Authority for announcement of award. The actual payment to each land owner will be made by the DC.

3 STUEHOLDERS CONSULTInGNS

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Consultation with stakeholders6 was an integral part of the project planning and design. The consultations were carried out to develop community Istakeholder's ownership and support for the project, and integrate and address their concerns through suitable measures in the project design and implementation. Continued consultation provides the basis to integrate concerns emerging during project implementation and also include potential good practices from previous projects.

3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS

At an early stage of the project, the team (consultants) identified key stakeholders for the project based on reconnaissance visits along the project corridor (Table 3-1).

3.3 STRUCTURED CONSLILTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS

Consultations with both the primary and secondary stakeholders were carried out along the project corridor. The primary stakeholders consulted include: (i) the roadside community having their temporary or permanent residences, (ii) road side shop owners/vendors, (iii) Road users, and (iv) project officials. The secondary stakeholders include the officials from the Forest department, NGOs and a few academicians. In deciding the target groups for consultations, care was taken to have a representation of a cross section of road side community and road users. These conSUltations provided inputs to the various environmental & social issues and in identification of the felt needs of the communities.

In the project preparation support team, local enumerators (Assamese speaking) were selected for field work, meeting with people. Local enumerators are selected to have similar dialect of language of PAP and enumerators. This also helped to make the participation of local people in the process of survey. Resource persons were identified in each corridor stretch to facilitate consultation. These resource persons informed local people about the project regularly and also appraised project related information to the people and to the project preparation team. As mentioned above, consultations were held with the people living along the corridors, who are likely to be affected. Individual consultations were also done with the PAPs during the socioeconomic surveys. The summary of the issues identified during the consultations are presented below:

• Demand for improvement of existing roads;

6 Stakeholders are defined as groups or categories of people who directly and demonstrably gain or lose rights and/or resources through development operations, and this includes government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and donor organizations.

R&R Issues and /Suggestions Received

During the monsoon season, floods are a common occurrence in lakhimpur District. Community is of the view that every year during the time of flood H.F.l. is higher than the road, so height of the proposed road should be raised to avoid flood problems during the time of flood and provision should be made to channelize flood water. So numbers of culverts and cross drainages structure should be provided to get relief from flood.

Water ways closed during the time of flood in Ghilamara area in 1968 should be reconstructed for better water flow.

Wooden bridges should be converted to RCC Bridges.

Provision of speed breaker/cautionary signboard at sensitive locations.

Sharp bend/turning should be straightened.

People expressed concern about the felling of valuable evergreen trees to retain greenery and wanted initiative of the forest officials to guide them in plantation of new trees.

Responses

All possible measures will be taken to minimize the flood problem. Culverts and cross drainages structure will be provided wherever required. .

The suggestion of the community will be conveyed to the design team.

The deSign team will take care how the suggestion of the community can be incorporated into the design.

Safety measures like speed breaker/cautionary signboard will be provided wherever required.

4 SOClAllSSESSrlEIIT This chapter presents the socio-economic profile of the project area and the PAPs. An analysis of the baseline socio-economic characteristics of the PAPs has been carried out.

4.1 DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIO·ECONOMIC PROFILE OF PROJECT DISTRICT

The project corridor lies in Lakhimpur district of Assam. It is land-locked with poor transport and communication facilities. The district is industrially backward. Table 4-1 presents the major socio economic characteristics of these districts. The density of population in Lakhimpur district is 390 persons/sq km. Lakhimpur has a higher population density than that of state, which averages at 340 persons per sq km. The proportion of urban population is only 7% of the district population. Gender ratio is high at 951 females per thousand.

More than 50% of the population in the project district is literate. However, educational attainments are very low. Nearly 30% of the population is educated only till primary levels. The proportion of population having higher and technical education is less than 2%.

Lakhimpur has a higher work participation rate of 56%. The proportion of marginal workers is also very high at 42. It shows the lack of diversified occupations. The district is primarily agrarian with nearly two-third of its population dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. The prinCipal agriculture produce are paddy, Jute, sugarcane and potato. The farmers generally have one crop in a year in most part of the state except for paddy. The yield per hectare for the major crops is given in Table 4-2. The productivity of the crops shall be considered for fixing of the land value by the competent authority.

4.2 KEY SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTIC OF PAPS

An assessment of the socio economic profile of PAPs has been done in the following sections. The analysis is based on data collected from sample socio economic survey of the PAPs.

4.2.1 Demographic Characteristics

134 families are likely to be impacted due to the project and the total number of PAPs is 221. The total male PAPs are 117 and female PAPs are 104.The age structure of the PAPs shows the largest proportion of population in the 24-45 years age group (Table 4-3). This is the working age group and their loss of livelihood needs to be compensated adequately. This implies that the livelihood restoration mechanisms have to be implemented with care and concern for local aspirations and needs.

The analysis of the land parcels affected due to the project shows that 137 land parcels are affected due to the land acquisition for project. 133 of the affected land parcels7 are marginal land holders, the details of land holdings are presented in (Table 4-8), This explains the high proportion of agricultural labour. Less land holding size also gives rise to seasonal unemployment, which is also why the unemployment levels are high amongst the PAPs.

The land acquisition for the proposed project will follow provisions of LA Act 1894 (amended in 1984). All the PAPs available on the date of joint verification will be eligible for entitlements in accordance with the R&R policy provisions. The list of entitled persons will be made available for verification in office of the Divisional Engineer (Highway), ASRP. Any further encroachment into the Corridor of Impact will be prevented through regular monitoring by Assistant Executive Engineer, Lakhimpur of the project in co-ordination with the Executive Engineer.

This chapter discusses the land acquisition required for the project and the extent and magnitude of impacts due to the acquisition.

5.2 LAND REQUIREMENT

The investigations and census surveys were conducted within 15,Om in the settlement areas and 24.0m to 30.0 in rural areas, i.e. area required for construction and additional 2.0m from toe line for utilities. The available RoW varies between 9 m to 18 m in the built up areas and 15 m - 24 m in the open areas. Km wise analysis was carried out to measure land availability along the corridor and land to be acquired for the project purposes (Table 5-1). The land acquisition is required only in few stretches, where the available land is inadequate to accommodate the proposed improvements, The base plan drawings given in Annexure 5-1 show the proposed alignment and impacted assets along it and extent of land to be acquired has been presented in Annexure 5-2.

6 HII/AiDS AND ROID IMPROVEMENTS 6.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter has been prepared based on information collected from the Assam State Aids Control Society (ASACS). Based on the information collected on prevalence of HIV/AIDS, appropriate measures to create awareness for the prevention of HIV/AIDS amongst the road users, the PAPs/PAHs and the communities living along the road side have been proposed. It is therefore, important to suggest strategies for checking the potential spread of the disease.

6.2 HIV I AIDS SCENARIO IN PROJECT AREA

Assam is regarded as one of the low prevalence HIV +ve states. As per ASACS report, December 2009, 0.02% (i.e. 4002) of the total population of Assam (i.e. 26.66 million) is HIV/AIDS positive. As per the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) reports, Assam is one of the 6 states with a declining HIV +ve prevalence. However, it has been categorized as a highly vulnerable state for the spread of the disease, necessitating the need for an appropriate prevention strategy for the control and spread of the disease.

6.2.1 HIV I AIDS in the Project District

As per ASACS data 22 HIV +ve cases have been registered till December 2009 in the project districts of Lakhimpur. An analysis of the data for HIV +ve cases for the last three years (I.e. 2007, 2008 and 2009) indicates an increase in the number of positive cases as shown in Table 6-1.

6.4 STRATEGY FOR THE PREVENTION OF HIV/AIDS TRANSMISSION

A four pronged strategy has been suggested for the prevention and spread of HIV/AIDS, This includes Information, Education, Communication (IEC), Behavior Change Communication (BCC) Strategy, Free contraceptive distribution strategy and Care and support strategy. Each of these strategies are described in the following sections.

6.4.1 Information Education Communication (IEC) Strategy

IEC is one of the most important strategies for the prevention of the spread of the disease. Lack of information/misinformation is one of the chief reasons for the spread of the disease. The major targets for such information dissemination are road side communities, truck parks, weekly markets, in brothels, etc. Additionally, awareness can be generated in schools, in exhibitions, etc so as to disseminate information in other population groups. Table 6-3 shows the target locations and groups and the strategy for dissemination. ASRP with assistance from NGO and ASACS would be the key institutional players for the implementation of this strategy.

6.4.2 Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) Strategy

While information dissemination is a must for further prevention, inducing behavior change amongst the high risk groups would also be a key strategy. Table 6-4 details out the strategy for the same.

persons or groups, such as PLWHAs, CSWs and MSM, who can work effectively for change as policy advocates and serve as caregivers~nd p~(jucators.

6.4.3 Free Contraceptive Distribution Strategy

Free Contraceptives (Nirodh) which are available in the Government Health Departments and all the local Health Service centers are provided to the community. As per NACO guidelines, free condoms is to be made available to the core groups like FSW. Injecting Drug Users (IOU) and Men having Sex with Men (MSM).Some of the NGOs and CBOs provide the free brand (Nirodh) during awareness camps I campaigns I health camps etc. In association with NACO, ASRP can take up distribution of free condoms to the road users, especially truck drivers, sex workers through locally identified NGOs. A draft ToR for the NGO with the activities to be performed has been provided in Annexure 6-1.

6.4.4 Care and Support Strategy


Societal acceptance of HIV/AIDS patients is very low. Due to this, they are often left uncared for. Such patients require social and psychological support from the society and from their family members. Care and support strategy aims to provide assistance to the infected persons and their families to deal with the illness.

6.4.5 Implementation Arrangement

The NGO appointed for the implementation of R&R will be responsible for implementation of HIV/AIDS awareness programme. The selection of the NGOs will be as per the qualification criteria given in the ToR (Refer Annexure 6*1).

6.5 COST AND BUDGET ESTIMATES FOR THE HIV AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

Though ASRP cannot provide continuous financial support for HIV/AIDS awareness campaign, a budget allocation has been made for the project implementation period. This amount would be used by the ASRP through the identified institutional players in the project region. The estimated budget for the HIV/AIDS awareness is Rs. 23.97 Lakh. The share of this package is Rs. 2.99 Lakh. Activity wise costs have been worked out in Chapter 11.

1 RDIDSARTY 7.1 INTRODUCTION

Road safety is a critical aspect that emerges in the light of increased speeds of traffic after road improvement. The community consultations held with the PAPs provided inputs in understanding the local issues and identification of critical sections and the locations that require geometric and junction improvements. High speed zones were also identified with the help of the community and road users. This chapter begins with a discussion on road and accident characteristics in Assam state and the particular concerns of road safety within the project area. Design improvements for increased road safety have been discussed. Lastly, a road safety campaign has been suggested as part of the project.

7.2 ROAD CHARACTERISTICS AND ACCIDENTS IN ASSAM

Table 7-1 provides statistics of roads in Lakhimpur district and its comparison with state figures. The road network is poorly developed in the district as compared to the total road length in the state.

The total number of road accidents has been constantly increasing in Assam. There were 6480 accidents in 2009, out of which 1274 were fatal. The accidents have seen an increase in annual growth from 12% to 18%. Some of the causes of road accidents observed during preliminary consultations and during the road surveys are as follows:

• Exceeding speed limits (over speeding); • Inattentive driving habits; • Overloading of heavy vehicles; • Lack of lane discipline; • Lack of traffic safety education; • Overtaking of vehicles.

7.3 ROAD SAFETY CONCERNS IN THE PROJECT AREA

7.3.1 Accident Prone Areas along SH-42

The proposed road improvements are being structured to enhance the capacity of roads, increase safety, and ensure free and smooth flow of goods and people from one place to another. The major concern of road safety for the project corridor SH-42 is to minimize the road accidents and to ease pedestrian movements. The accident prone locations are junctions where

7.3.2 Safety Issues Identified and Design Options

Advanced road safety planning is essential from the inception stage of the project itself. Road safety from social planning point of view mainly involves education, awareness and community participation. Appropriate strategies and design improvements have been suggested for critical road safety issues in Table 7-3. 58 locations have been identified for design measures to enhance the safety of the road users. The categories of such locations are water bodies (5), educational zones (35), built-up areas- residential and commercial-(17) and hill sections (5). Details of all identified locations are in Annexure 7-1. The identified location details were shared with the design team for including appropriate measures in the design report. The road safety measures will be incorporated in the designs based on the recommendations of the road safety study recommendations. The cost towards implementation of the road safety measures have been incorporated as part of the engineering costs.

7.4 STRATEGIES FOR ROAD SAFETY EDUCATION


OIl£IlTAXIN& ~OHlalT(O

The strategies adopted for road safety are to be implemented by three main institutional actors. These include the State PWO, NGOs involved in project implementation and the community. The role and activities of each of these actors is described below.

Assam State P.W.D: The PWD would undertake the following activities:

Designing roads with maximum road geometry, proper sign marking (preferably in local language); Providing proper buffer zones near educational institutions, hospitals and residential land uses;

• Taking Measures of immediate rescues at places where accidents occurs; Advocacy with media to create public awareness;

• Putting motivating slogans for road safety; • Conducting workshops for NGOs; and • Publishing recent achievements of the department in news papers.

NGOs: The key role of the NGOs would be to create awareness on road safety. The following activities can be undertaken by the NGOs:

• Distribution of booklets in Gov!. & Private offices; Conducting community consultations; Conducting traffic awareness camps;

• Educating drivers regarding obeying traffic rules; and • Educating community regarding meaning of traffic symbols, discourage drinking and driving, putting on

seat belts, etc.

Community Level: The impact of issues related to road accidents and management issues should be discussed with local people. Regular interaction between public and authorities would help in devising solutions for critical issues. Figure 7-1 shows the recommended road safety campaigns. The following are the recommended road safety campaigns:

• Road Safety Theatre near built-up areas; • Distribution of booklets and bookmarks among school children; • Public marches at main junctions; • Distribution of road safety instructions to the public; • Active participation of NCC cadets in road marches; • Forming human chains along the main roads;

• Cultural shows; and • Distribution of leaflets & posters.

8 ISSUES OF SCHEDULE CASTES AND SCHEDULE TRIBES ANDROIDIIPROVEIENT

8.1 INTRODUCTION

The chapter discusses about the measures to protect the interest of the socially weaker sections of the society including the Schedule Castes (SC) and the Schedule Tribes (ST) from the negative impacts of the proposed road improvements. The existing safeguard policies, socioeconomic profile of the SC and ST PAPs and the existing government schemes and programmes for them have been discussed in this chapter.

8.2 SAFEGUARD OF SC AND ST IN CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

The Constitution of India defines tribal groups and tribal areas under various Articles. Article 342 specifies tribes or tribal communities. Article 341 requires the President of India to specify the castes, races or tribes or parts of groups within castes, races, tribes etc and these tribes and castes so specified are referred as STs and SCs respectively. In pursuance of these provisions, the list of SCs and STs are notified for each State and Union Territory for whom a number of social, economic and political safeguards are provided by the constitution of India. The following section lists of the major constitutional safeguards available for SCs and STs in India.

8.2.1 Social Safeguards

Equality before Law (Article 14). • The State to make special provisions for the advancement of any socially and educationally backward

classes of citizens or for the SCs and the STs (Article 15(4». • Equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointments to any office

Livelihood and Economic Activities

More than 80% of the tribal people in the project area earn their livelihood through agriculture. They undertake cultivation of both Ahu and Sali rice along with some pulses, mustard seeds and jute. Unlike the Rabhas, the Bodos are prone to improved methods of production, Rice is their staple food with an inherent liking for dried and powdered fish, pork and rice beer. With strict enforcement of the excise law, rice beer is now brewed in a restricted manner occasionally on social and religious ceremonies. They also collect forest products like herbs, firewood, bamboo etc to fulfill their day to day requirement. Handloom & textile and small scale .cottage industries are their other source of income. The men are expert in cane and bamboo crafts and they make various household items. The women are experts in both spinning and weaving. These expertise are not only a secondary source of livelihood but also a part and parcel of their material culture.

With changing time, the tribal people are now engaging in non-agricultural activities like household industries, construction work, trade and commerce, transport and government services.

Tribal Area Local Body Administration

A part of Lakhimpur district comes under Missing Autonomous Council. The Mising Autonomous Council was constituted in June, 1995 to provide maximum autonomy under the framework of Constitution of India for social, economic, educative, ethnic and cultural development of the Mising people in the State.

Mising Autonomous Council has 1245 villages in its core areas and 366 vii/ages as satellite area. It is governed by Memorandum of Settlement and the Mising Autonomous Council Act, 1995. The general council has 40 members out of which 4 will be nominated by Government of Assam. The Executive Council consists of the Chief Executive Councilor and Executive Councilors. The

8.3.3 Profile of SC and ST PAHs along the Project Corridor

Amongst the project affected households (PAH), 9 belong to SC. There are no ST households affected along the corridor. All the 9 SC households in the project corridor belong to the Kaibartta community.

The 9 SC PAF has 40 members including 21 males and 19 females. Nuclear family type is more common among the STs with a nuclear to joint family ratio of 60:40% approximately.

Of the total SC PAPs, majority (21) belongs to the age group of 20-40 years, followed by 40-60 years (9) and 0-20 years (8). SC population along the project corridor has recorded 95% literacy.

Income

As per the definition of the Planning Commission, the families whose consumption expenditure cannot satisfy the minimum consumption level of 2400 kilo calories per capita per day in rural areas and 2100 kilo calories per capita per day in urban areas are below the poverty line. In the census survey carried out by the Consultants, the PAPs who holding a BPL ration card have been considered as BPl. 56% of the SC PAPs belong to the BPL category.

Among the SC households, 2 belong to the income group of less than RS.5000, 2 in the income group of Rs. 5000 to 10000 and one in the income group of >20000. Other 4 PAFs did not respond for the question.

livelihood and Economic Activities

The SC PAPs along the corridor mainly earn their livelihood through agriculture and business and trade. Table 8-5 shows that 20% are engaged in business and trade, 35% of them are engaged in agriculture and 5% in Government service.

8.5 ISSUES I CONCERNS OF TRIBAL COMMUNITIES

The issues / concerns of the tribal communities consulted, and directly related to the development of the project, were related to loss of land, livelihood and shelter. In addition, other concerns highlighted include:

Low level of Agricultural Productivity Lack of employment opportunities

• Low income levels • Poor Health; and

High levels of debt.

8.6 CONSULTATION STRATEGY IN TRIBAL AREAS

Consultations were specifically carried out with the ST families in order to understand their concerns and integrate them within the RAP apart from obtaining data related to extent of adverse impacts and loss of assets (through census survey). The ST households along the project corridor are not concentrated in a particular area/village i.e., they do not live in a specified territory. It was therefore, ensured that the village level consultations carried out included representatives from the tribal community, who could voice their concerns and issues. The tribal families were briefed about the R&R policy and the entitlement packages.

A conSUltation was also held with the Mising Autonomous Council located at Gogamukh in Lakhimpur District. The council forms part of Sonitpur, Lakhimpur and Dhemaji districts. The details of the consultation with the council are presented in Table 8-7. The council members expressed their complete support for the project and welcomed the improvement of the road.

9 GENDER OmLO.MEIIT .lAII

9.1 INTRODUCTION

Towards mainstreaming gender equality, the gender development plan prepared as part of the RAP proposes measures that promote and ensures participation of the women in the project. The sharing of project benefits, employment generation due to the project and livelihood support for women are the key areas of focus in this chapter,

9.2 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS IN THE STATE TO ADDRESS GENDER ISSUES

Department of Social Welfare

This Department has the mandate to ensure proper care of the uncared, protection of the most vulnerable sections of the society and creation of an environment which is conducive to the all round development of the Children, Women and Physically Challenged persons both by taking the caring and protective hands of the Government to them and by giving intensified fillip to the non- government initiatives aimed at reaching out to them,

Assam State Commission for Women

The Assam State commission for women came into existence in 1994. It has a wide ranging mandate and has been empowered with powers to have a say on any matters related to the women especially in the fields of education, health, socio-economic aspects, legal justice and so on aiming at economic and social upliftment of women setting the goal of raising the status of women.

Some of the mandates under the State Commission for Women's Act, 1994 are as follows:-

9.3 OVERVIEW OF THE GENDER PROFILE IN ASSAM9

9.3.1 Status of Women in Assam

The sex ratio is 935 females per 1000 males in Assam. Although during 1991-2001, annual average growth rate of female literacy (1.3 per cent) was more than that of male literacy rate (0.997 per cent), the enrolment rate of women in higher education segment was less than 33 per cent. The female work participation rate which was 4.66 per cent in 1971 increased to 21.61 per cent in 1991 and declined to 20.71 per cent in 2001. When the Gender Equality Index (GEl) for India was 0.620 in early 80s it was below 0.499 in Assam. During 1990s the GEl for India was increased to 0.676 as against 0.575 in Assam. Thus the position of the state of Assam and India as a whole improved marginally in terms of GEl in the above mentioned period. However, close examination of figures reveal that both in 80s and 90s the position of Assam was far below the national average. Assam was in 29th position among 32 States and Union Territories according to GEl measure and was ranked below Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland (Assam Human Development Report, 2003). This showed that women of Assam were more deprived than that of any other State in North Eastern Region and India as a whole.

As per National Family Health Survey (NFHS}-3, though three fifth of the total currently married women surveyed usually participate in household decisions (which is substantially higher than national figure of 37%), nearly 40% of the ever married women have experienced spousal violence. However, the situation does not vary much with age or household structure but decline sharply with education levels. Women's experience of domestic violence shows that violence is not lessened by age. Rural women are more prone to domestic violence than urban women. Regarding women's political participation it was found that large gender gap exists in voting and less than 10% of total member in Lok Sabha are Women. This is because most of the women lack the desired level of financial autonomy, literacy, strong personality, own decision making capacity, family support etc. A large gender gap in literacy exists and participation of girls at all stages of education is below 50%. Similarly, less than 50% of women are employed and a Significant portion of them are not paid for their work. However, having access to employment does not mean that women have full control over their earnings. Fewer women have final say on how to spend their earnings. Control over cash earnings increases with age and with place of residence in urban areas and education, but not vary significantly with household structure. Women's exposure to media is also less relative to men.

The NFHS data shows that nearly two fifth of the women in the age group of 20 to 24 years get married by the age of 18 years as compared to just 16% men in the age group of 25 to 29 getting married by the age of 21 years. About 17% of the women in the age group of 15 to 19 years attained the motherhood and the fertility rate in Assam is 2.4. Though over 50% women have heard of HIVIAIDS, less than one fourth know that use of condom can reduce chances of getting HIVIAIDS. In contrast, over 75% men have heard of HIVIAIDS, and nearly half know that use of condom can reduce chances of getting HIVIAIDS.

Women apart from being anemic and bearing the strain of maternity and childcare, the additional burden of contraception also falls overwhelmingly on women. The adoption of contraceptive

measures among the women is higher. Male contraception is still poor, with very few men agreeing to vasectomy. It is as if to emphasize that since women conceive and bear children, it is their sale responsibility to control or protect themselves against further reproduction (Rustagi 2004). The percentage of women undergoing sterilization is 13% in the state as compared to just 0.2% among men. Nearly 70% of the ever married women in the age group of 15 to 49 are anemic as compared to just 45% of men in the same age group.

Population Ratio - As per the 2001 census, the total population of Assam is 26,655,528 out of which 12,878,491 are females that form 48% of the total population and sex ratio is 935 females per thousand males.

Literacy: As per 2001 census Assam has a literacy rate of 63.12% out of which the female literacy rate is 54.34%

Work Participation Rate

The WPR of women is around 21 % as against the total WPR of 36% and the male WPR of 50%. The. proportion of marginal workers is high amongst women workers at around 53%. The corresponding figure for male workers is only 15%. This shows the temporary nature of jobs that women perform.

ANNEXURE 2-2 SUMMARY OF THE LAND ACQUISITION (AMENDMENT) BILL,

2007

,.,

ANNEXURE 2-2: SUMMARY OF THE LAND ACQUISITION (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2007

1. The Standing Committee on Rural Development submitted its 39th report on the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill, 2007.

2. The Bill seeks to amend the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Committee suggests that the 1894 Act be repealed and a new comprehensive legislation be brought in Parliament. It states that the legislation should be enacted expeditiously.

3. The Committee notes that the use of the word 'may' dilutes specific provisions and provides undue discretion to the implementing agency. It recommends that 'may' should be replaced by 'shall' in all clauses except ones where the intent is to provide flexibility.

4. In order to protect agricultural land from getting acquired, the Committee states that the Bill should include a provision that makes it mandatory for the Collector to submit a report stating that wasteland or barren land was not available for a particular project. Also, the government should make a list of unutilised land.

5. The Committee also makes several suggestions for development of wasteland. It also recommends that the government should do long term planning regarding the total area of agricultural land required to meet food grain requirements. Also, a strong law is required to protect prime agricultural land in similar manner as forest land. There should also be measures to guard against excessive acquisition of land which is at time more than the land required for the project.

6. The Committee recommends that in cases where award of compensation is pending, solatium and the rehabilitation and resettlement package should be provided retrospectively.

7. The Committee recommends that all the benefits provided under the Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement legislation should be doubled at every stage in case of second and subsequent displacement of a family/person.

8. The Bill would apply to Nagaland only when decided by a resolution of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. This should be provided for in the Bill.

9. As per the Act, 30 days time period from the date of publication of the notification has been provided for the affected person to object to the acquisition of land. The Committee feels that the period is not sufficient and recommends that it be increased to 60 days.

10. The Committee is of the opinion that fixing some percentage of the land to be acquired by the appropriate government and private body for a particular project of public purpose is very contradictory and impractical. Also, the definition of "public purpose" as per the 1894 Act should be retained.

11. There should be discretion in deciding whether a Social Impact Study is necessary if the number of families is below the threshold level.

12. The Committee recommends that the highest price of sale deed as indicated in the sale deeds of the last three years plus 50 per cent of the highest price should be the criteria for assessing and determining the market value of the land. For tribal areas, the Committee recommends that the highest price of a sale deed of the adjoining non-tribal blocks/village for the last three years plus 50 per cent should be the criteria.

13. The Committee is against the provision that allows the Collector, before determining the market value of the land, to ascertain the intended land use category.

14. The Committee states that issue of shares and debentures as part of the compensation is not practical. Therefore, issue of shares and debentures should be over and above the admissible compensation. Further, it should be left to the acquiring body to issue shares and debentures over and above the admiSSible compensation to the affected person/family whose land is acquired.

15. The Committee pointed out certain contradictions in the Land Acquisition Bill and the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill with regard to compensation with shares and debentures.

16. The Committee recommends that emergency powers of the government may be restricted to acquisition of minimum area of land for the purpose of defence or national security or in case of natural calamities.

17. The Committee suggests that the Acquisition Compensation Disputes Settlement Authority should consist of at least three members, including the Chairperson. Also, the retirement age should be reduced to 65 years from 67 years.

18. The Committee proposes that the rate of interest should be increased from nine per cent to 15 per cent per annum and compound interest should be paid wherever applicable.

ANNEXURE 6-1: HIRING OF NGO'S SERVICES FOR ASSAM STATE ROADS PROJECT

TERMS OF REFERENCE

1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

The Government of India has requested the assistance of the World Bank for the improvement of State Highways and Major District Roads in the State of Assam. The aim of the Assam State Roads Project is to improve the performance of the State's road transport sector. The project will improve road conditions and capacity of the state road network along with development of in house capabilities of the Public Works Department (PWD) to plan, develop and maintain the Assam road network.

The roads to be developed have been selected from those identified for improvemenUheavy periodic maintenance under a strategic option study (SOS) for state highways. Civil works for a combination of road widening/upgrading and pavement rehabilitation/strengthening (within the existing Right of Way (RoW)) of about 1200 km high priority core network roads including bridges and road safety engineering measures. The project will be taken up in phases, and the first phase covers about 300km. Map of the Project roads (Phase I) is given in Appendix-1.

Most of the road improvements will be confined to public land i.e. the existing Right of Way (ROW) which is controlled by the PWD. However, road improvements include realignment of the road at some locations, which will involve expropriation of land from the current owners/users. The project improvement will also necessitate the eviction of squatters and removal for agricultural encroachments from within the RoW. Expropriation of land, eviction of squatters and removal of agricultural encroachments may cause social disruption and economic loss for project affected persons (PAPs) and their families. It is therefore important that disturbances and losses of PAPs due to project are minimized through proper planning.

It is against this background that PWD has carried out a social assessment of Project Affected persons (PAPs) on 500 kms of project roads under Phase-1 and prepared a ResettiementAction Plan (RAP). The encroachers and title holders of various types of properties were identified in the social assessment and a detailed Action Plans prepared for the resettlement and rehabilitation of displaced persons. The R&R policy containing entitlement packages for various categories of PAPs was prepared and approved by the GoA. To keep the negative impact to a minimum various measures were undertaken such as redesigning of project roads where large numbers of people are likely to be affected and avoidance of common properties from possible impact These measures have considerably reduced the number of affected families. An overview of the potential impacts along the Project Roads is in Appendix 2. The RAP prepared fully complies with the requirements of the Government of India and World Bank. Successful implementation of the RAP is an important part of the overall project

Assam PWD now invites the services of eligible NGOs under quality and cost based contracts to assist with implementation of the RAP. 3 NGOs will be contracted to implement the RAP, for the upper Assam, Lower Assam and Central Assam corridors.
