Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Executive Summary

December 2020 Page xvii

Executive Summary

1.1 The Project

Surat is a city located on the western part of India in the state of Gujarat. The city is

located 284 Kms south of Gandhi Nagar, 265Kms of Ahmedabad and 289 Kms of

Mumbai. The economy of the entire city is based mainly on two industries, the textile industries of manmade fibers/fabrics and the diamond cutting and polishing

industry. It is one of the most dynamic cities of India with one of the fastest growth

rate due to immigration from various parts of Gujarat and other states of India. Surat is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and densely populated with an

average 13680 persons/sq.km accommodating about 44.67 lakhs people as per

Census 2011. Surat’s high population growth rate coupled with high economic growth rate has resulted in an ever increasing demand for transport creating

excessive pressure on the existent transport system. With high growth in transport

demand over the years, congestion on roads has been increasing due to phenomenal rise in private transport. Absence of an efficient full-fledged public transport system

coupled with rapid growth in the use of personalized vehicle has led to high

consumption of fossil fuel and increase in environment pollution. The existing

network of public transport systems including dedicated BRTS needs to be

strengthened further in order to cope-up with rising demand of transport system.

The inter-city traffic volumes in Surat necessitated a full-fledged integrated multi

model mass rapid passenger system. In this view, Government of Gujarat (GoG)

desires to build the Metro Rail System by adopting adequate environmental

standards to provide for the protection of the people and the environment. It is

proposed that the Metro project will be taken up in Phases. Under Phase I, the

length of the alignment considered is 40.35 Km and there would be 38 stations.

There are two corridors-Corridor-I is from Sarthana to Dream city and Corridor-II is

from Bheshan to Saroli.


December 2020 Page xviii

1.2 Project Description The Surat Metro Rail project having two metro rail corridors with a combined length

of 40.35 km. Total 38 stations are proposed consisting of elevated and underground

stations. First corridor is proposed from Sarthana to Dream city Line. The length of

this corridor will be 21.61 km of which 6.47 km would be underground and the rest

15.14 km will be elevated. Second corridor is from Bheshan to Saroli. The length of

this corridor will be 18.74 km, would be completely elevated. The alignment map of

Surat metro project (Phase-1) is presented in Figure 0.1.

1.3 Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement From DPR,2018, it is noted that the proposed metro rail project will involve

acquisition of 543044.86sqm. Out of the total land requirement, 526477.86 sqm

(96.9%) is government land and only 16567 sqm (3.1%) is under private acquisition. The project impacts assessed through project census survey includes loss of private

land, loss of non-land assets, and loss of livelihoods. As per survey findings, 421

structures and 79 open plots/empty land, 676 households consisting of 3464 persons will be affected. The affected households include 351 titleholders and 325 non-

titleholders i.e tenants, squatters and kiosks.

1.4 Objective of SIA and RAP The objective of Social Impact Assessment is (i)to prepare a complete inventory of structures, affected families and persons,(ii) to identify social impacts and (iii)to prepare Resettlement Action Plan(RAP). The SIA includes RAP is based on an integrated and holistic approach to deal with project impacts and aims at rebuilding lives and livelihoods of those affected as quickly as possible.

1.5 Study Approach and Methodology Census socio-economic survey was conducted in the corridor of impact zone to identify the affected structures, households/persons and list out the adverse impacts of the project. The SIA which includes RAP has been prepared in accordance with the AFD policy on Environmental and Social Risk Management Policy,Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in land acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 and Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Gujarat Amendment) Act,2016 and World Bank’s


December 2020 Page xix

Environmental and Social Framework,2017.The methodology adopted to prepare SIA report was desk research, site visits and information dissemination, enumeration of structure, socio-economic survey, compilation, verification and analysis of data, public and stakeholder consultation at local and city level.

1.6 Land Assessment

The project will require acquisition of 543044.86sqm of land for construction of different components. 526477.86 sqm of land is under government possession and remaining 16567 sqm of land is under private ownership.

1.7 Enumeration of Affected Properties and Families As per the findings of census survey, total 421 structureswill be affected out of which 105 are residential, 196 commercial and 22 residential cum commercial.About 98 other structures will beaffected which are government structures, religious structures, educational institutions and community (trust) properties. Total 676 households consisting 3464 persons will be affected. Out of the total households, 351 households are titleholders and 325 households are non-titleholders. Total number of economically and physically displaced households is 403 and 130 respectively. Out of total affected households, 118 households are vulnerable households.

1.8 Socio-Economic Profile The socio-economic survey results indicate that sex ratio is 912 female per 1000 males.Majority of the surveyed families are Hindu.Majority of families speak Gujarati as mother tongue. Majority of surveyed family members are married. Majority of families are found as Joint. About 12.4% of surveyed peopleare illiterate and majority of them have studied up to upper primary school. Average family income is Rs.23,806/-per month.Majority of surveyedpersons are shop keepers.

1.9 Public Consultation and Information Disclosure Public consultations were organised at 12 project affected areas during August-September 2019. About 180 persons who represented different community, govt. and private department, educational, religious, political institutions along with NGO’s have participated in the consultation process. The major social issues raised by the people were land acquisition, demolition of structures, displacement, compensation, job opportunities, working women, infrastructure facilities like drinking water, health, school, and relocation of religious places and social amenities at R&R sites. In order to make the documents easily accessible, once the entire EIA and SIA report is completed and finalized, it will be translated in the local language ‘Gujarati’ and will be uploaded on GMRCL website.

1.10 Resettlement Policy and Legal Framework The legal framework and principles adopted for addressing resettlement issues in the Project have been guided by the existing legislation and policies of the GoI, the GoG and World Bank. Prior to the preparation of the RAP, a detailed analysis of the existing national and state policies was undertaken and an entitlement matrix has been prepared for the project. This RAP is prepared based on the review and analysis of all applicable legal and policy frameworks of the country, State and World Bank policy requirements. The gaps between the policies have been identified and addressed to ensure that the RAP adheres to the World Bank’s ESF (ESS5) requirements. Implementing Agency on behalf of Government will use the Project


December 2020 Page xxiii

Resettlement Policy (the Project Policy) for the Proposed Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I). The Project Policy is aimed at filling-in any gaps in what local laws and regulations cannot provide in order to help and ensure that PAPs are able to rehabilitate themselves to at least their pre-project condition.

All compensation and other assistances will be paid to all PAPs prior to commencement of civil works. After payment of compensation, DPs would be allowed to take away the materials salvaged from their dismantled houses and shops and no charges will be levied upon them for the same. The value of salvaged materials will not be deducted from the overall compensation amount due to the DPs. A notice to that effect will be issued intimating that DPs can take away the materials.

The cut-off date for titleholder will be the date of notification under Section 11 of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. For non-titleholders, the cut-off date will be the completion of final census survey. The information regarding the Cut-off date will be well documented and will be well disseminated throughout the project area at regular intervals in written and non-written forms and in local language (Gujarati). DPs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. They, however, will be given sufficient advance notice, requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation.

1.11 Institutional Arrangement Implementing Agency (IA) is overall responsible for implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation component of the project. IA will coordinate with all implementing agencies like PMC, NGO,R&R and Implementation Support Consultant and supervise their work and monitor the progress of the project. Social Management Unit (SMU) of IA shall look after land acquisition and rehabilitation activities of the project.The responsibility of NGO will be assisting SMU of IA in implementation of R&R activities. The implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation activities will be monitored through Quarterly Progress Reports (QPR) which will be prepared by SMU of IA with the assistance of NGO. A consultant will be appointed by IAto assist in the R&R implementation process.Grievances of PAPs will be first brought to the attention of field level staffs of IA. Grievances not redressed by the staffs (field level) will be brought to the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC). The composition of the proposed GRC will have representatives from PAPs, women representative, Project Director (IA), Sr.SDO,SMU of IA, NGO representative, representative of local body, and Land Acquisition Officer. The main responsibilities of the GRC are to: (i) provide support to PAPs on problems arising from land/property acquisition; (ii) record PAPs grievances,

categorize, and prioritize grievances and resolve them; (iii) immediately inform the SMU of serious cases; and (iv)report to PAPs on developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the GRC.

1.12 Relocation and Resettlement Site Surat Muncipal Corporation (SMC) has indicated probable sites for relocations of affected households at 4 locations namely Althan-Bhatar, Bhimrad, Variav, and Bhedwad under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yajana (PMAY) scheme and 5 locations namely Vadod, Bhestan, Bhestan Township, Kosad and Godadara-Dindoli under JnNURM-BSUP scheme. The PAHs losing residential units shall be offered tenements of 36 to 36.5 sqm under PMAY scheme and 20 to 25.6 sqm under JnNURM-BSUP scheme. The PAHs losing commercial units shall be offered by GMRCL.

1.13 Implementation Schedule The R&R activities of the proposed project are divided in to three broad categories based on the stages of work and process of implementation. In the project preparation stage, identification of required land for acquisition, census & socio-economic survey, public consultation, preparation and review/approval of draft RAP, disclosure of RAP, establishment of GRC and preparation of resettlement site shall be carried out. Activities like notification of land acquisition, valuation of structure, payment by competent authority, shifting of PAPs shall be taken up during RAP implementation. During monitoring and evaluation stage internal monitoring will be carried out by PIU of GMRCL and mid and end term evaluation will be carried out by an independent evaluation agency.

1.14 Income Restoration Restoration of pre-project levels of income is an important part of rehabilitating in affected communities. The project policy has many provisions in it for restoration of income of affected persons with an aim of improving the socioeconomic conditions of PAPs. In addition to this, the project will facilitate in taking full advantage of existing government schemes by the affected persons. The NGO, which would implement the RAP, will coordinate with various departments to integrate with overall project scenarios.

The project has provision of training to upgrade the skill level and one time economic rehabilitation grant to vulnerable families in re-establishing themselves economically.

The NGO will conduct an assessment of the training needs. This would include a survey among the PAPs with options of various skills related to the resource base of the area and available replacement (with proper forward and backward linkages) and


December 2020 Page xxv

accordingly select trades for training. Based on the training, NGO will identify income-generating activities for sustainable economic opportunities.

1.15 Cost Estimate The budget is indicative and cost will be updated and adjusted to the inflation rate as the project continues and during implementation. The total cost of proposed metro rail project for resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected households would be INR 4718.20 lakh.

1 Introduction 1.1 Background

Surat is a city located on the western part of India in the state of Gujarat. The city is

located 284 Kms south of Gandhi Nagar, 265Kms of Ahmedabad and 289 Kms of Mumbai. The economy of the entire city is based mainly on two industries, the textile industries of manmade fibers/fabrics and the diamond cutting and polishing industry. It is one of the most dynamic city of India with one of the fastest growth rate due to immigration from various part of Gujarat and other states of India. Surat is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and densely populated with an average 13680 persons/sq.km accommodating about 44.67 lakhs people as per Census 2011.Average decadal growth of population of Surat since 2001 to 2011 was about 55.29%. Surat’s high population growth rate coupled with high economic growth rate has resulted in an ever increasing demand for transport creating excessive pressure on the existent transport system. With high growth in transport demand over the years, congestion on roads has been increasing due to phenomenal rise in private transport. Absence of an efficient full-fledged public transport system coupled with rapid growth in the use of personalised vehicle has led to high consumption of fossil fuel and increase in environment pollution. Surat has also been selected as one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a “Smart City”. The existing network of public transport systems including dedicated BRTS needs to be strengthened further in order to cope-up with rising demand of transport system. The inter-city traffic volumes in Surat necessitated a full-fledged integrated multi model mass rapid passenger system. In this view, Government of Gujarat (GoG) desires to build the Metro Rail System by adopting adequate environmental standards to provide for the protection of the people and the environment. It is proposed that the Metro project will be taken up in Phases. Under Phase I, the length of the alignment considered is 40.35 Km and there would be 38 stations. There are two corridors-Corridor-I is from Sarthana to Dream city and Corridor-II is from Bhesan to Saroli. The alignment map of Surat metro rail project (Phase I) is shown in Figure 1.1.

1.5 Public Purpose of the Project Section 2 (1) of RFCTLARR Act 2013 states that the land may be acquired only for the

public purpose. The public purpose mentioned in the Act includes defence and

national security; roads, railways, highways, and ports built by government and

public sector enterprises etc. Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation Limited (GMRCL) was



established to build the metro rail system by adopting adequate environmental

standards to provide for the protection of the people and the environment. Being a

Government of India and Government of Gujarat undertaking,GMRCL falls into the

category of public sector enterprises mentioned above. Also, the primary objective

of the proposed metro rail projectis to meet the local transport requirement of

Suratcity.The land acquisition is to support the operation of the proposed metro rail

project, thus serving the public purpose.

1.6 Land Acquisition and Resettlement

The proposed metro project requires land. The acquisition of land for the project

shall displace people from their home, livelihood base, and business base. The

efforts have been made to keep land requirement to the barest minimum by so

choosing the alignments that the acquisition of private property is minimal. From

DPR, 2018, it is noted that the proposed metro rail project will involve acquisition of

543044.86sqm. Out of the total land requirement, 526477.86 sqm (96.9%) is government land and only 16567 sqm (3.1%) is under private acquisition. The project

impacts assessed through project census survey includes loss of private land, loss of

non-land assets, and loss of livelihoods. As per survey findings, 421 structures and 79 open plots/empty land, 676 households consisting of 3464 persons will be affected.

The affected households include 351 titleholders and 325 non-titleholders i.e

tenants, squatters, and kiosks.

Land is mainly required for MRTS Structure (including Route Alignment), Station

Building, Platforms, Entry/Exit Structures, Traffic Integration Facilities, Depots,

Receiving/Traction Sub-stations, Radio Towers, Temporary Construction Depots and

work sites, staff quarters, office complex and operation control centre(OCC). The

land for acquisition is unavoidable, if project has to be completed. The acquisition of

land for the proposed project involves relocation of shops and hutments along the

corridor. Compensation for land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation shall be

considered as per Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in land acquisition,

Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013(RTFCTLARR Act),Right to Fair

Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and

Resettlement (Gujarat Amendment) Act,2016(RFCTLARR (Gujarat Amendment) Act)

and World Bank (WB) Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 5 "Land Acquisition,

Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement".



1.7 Minimising Resettlement Attempts have been made during the detailed design of the project preparation to

minimize the land acquisition, resettlement and adverse impacts on people in the

project area through suitable engineering design. Steps have been made to confine

the project area in the government land and in available Right of Way (ROW) where

feasible. This has been done with proper consultation with the local people and

affected communities. Their suggestions have been incorporated in the design

whenever technically feasible. However, there will be some unavoidable land

acquisition for which adequate compensation has been considered as per RFCTLARR

Act, 2013 and RFCTLARR(Gujarat Amendment) Act, 2016 and World Bank (WB)

Environmental and Social Standard (ESS)5 "Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land

Use and Involuntary Resettlement". For the proposed work the following specific

measures are taken to minimize resettlement in this project.

• Selection of the project sites and its various components in the government land;

• Proper engineering design to avoid and minimize displacement and hence resettlement; and

• Prefer open land instead of habitation and building structures.

1.8 Objective of Resettlement Action Plan The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study includes Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)

which is based on the principle that the population affected by the proposed metro

rail project will be assisted to improve their living standards. The RAP is project

specific and it has been prepared in accordance with the RTFCTLARR Act

2013,RFCTLARR (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 2016 and World Bank (WB)

Environmental and Social Standard (ESS)5 "Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land

Use and Involuntary Resettlement".The RAP is based on the general findings of the

census socio-economic survey, field visits, and meetings with various project affected

persons in the project area. The primary objective of the RAP is to identify social

impacts and risks and to develop measures to mitigate various losses of the project

while the specific objectives are as follows:

• To prepare an action plan for the project affected people for improving or at least retaining the living standards in the post resettlement period;

• To outline the entitlements for the affected persons for payment of

compensation and assistance for establishing the livelihoods;



• To develop communication mechanism to establish harmonious relationship

between GMRCL and Project Affected Persons (PAPs);

• To ensure adequate mechanism for expeditious implementation of R&R plan.

1.9 AFD and KFW Requirement AFD and KFW require environmental and social assessment of projects in accordance

with World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards(ESSs). AFD and World Bank

analyse and classify all potential projects into High(A)-Substantial (B+)-Moderate

(B)-Low (C) environmental and social risks, depending on the extent of the potential

risks borne by the operation. The classification considers the nature and scale of

operation, the location and sensitivity of the affected area, the severity of potential

environmental and social risks and impacts, and the client’s capacity to manage

them.

According to AFD’s Environmental and Social Risk Management Policy and World

Bank’ ESF,the proposed metro rail project in Surat is categorised as High Risk-Aproject.The Project E&S management must therefore comply with both national

legislation as well as WB ESSs. It includes projects in sensitive sectors or with

sensitive characteristics and projects located in or near sensitive areas. The proposed project is considered to have significant impacts on sensitive areas, which requires

detailed impact assessment of social settings of the project area and social

management document (e.g. RAP).In order to comply with ESS 10, stakeholders engagement is demanded throughout the project lifeand consultation for high and

substantial risk projects, the analyses conducted (SIA and RAP) must be subject to

free, prior and informed consultation of the people potentially affected by the

project.



1.10 Alternative Analysis

1.10.1 Alignment Planning The principal objectives which were considered while selecting the metro-alignment

are minimization of the impact on the environment and social, optimization of the

functionality of the alignment, minimization of construction time, minimization of

construction and operational cost and maximization of the results of the economic

investment. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India

announced the ‘Appraisal Guidelines for Metro Rail Project Proposals’ in September

2017. Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) – 2017 of Surat City related toMRTS

Project as provided by Centre of Excellence in Urban

Transport,(CEPT),Ahmedabadfollowing approach for this study was developed:

• Delineation of Study Area, • Growth Dynamics, • Demand assessment along the corridor, • Characteristics of the corridor • Integration with other mass transit corridors, • Transportation Characteristics, • Construction feasibility, and • Environment and social aspects.

A Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) aims to retain the compact structure of the city of Surat and proposes intensification of development along the rapid transit

corridors. The report recommends the following corridors as potential metro

network:

1. Dream city – Kamrej (28.9 km) 2. Bhesan – Umbhel (26.3 km) 3. Majuragate to Karamala (15.8 km)

This section of the chapter presents demand analysis and network characteristics, in

order to assess suitability of a rapid transit mode for these three corridors.

1.10.2 Demand Assessmentalong the Corridor An assessment of potential ridership on the three CMP metro corridors for the future

years of 2026and 2046 has been undertaken. An analysis of future Public Transport

(PT)important to assess suitability ofa metro or another rapid transit mode.Below Figure 1.2shows model output of assigned passenger flows for year 2046 and

ridership by mode.

This network was analysed and the demand outputs in terms of peak passenger

flows or peak hour peak direction traffic (PHPDT) for the year 2026 and horizon year 2046 has been presented in the Table 1.2. It can be seen that Dream City to Kamrej

has the highest passenger flow of 16000 PHPDT in 2026 going up to 46000 PHPDT

in2046. The other two corridors - Bhesan – Umbhel and Majuragate to Karamalahas a demand of around 24000 PHPDT and 19500 PHPDT in 2046 respectively.

1.10.3 Corridor Characteristics A description of the corridors in terms of the road widths and adjacent land uses has been presentedbelow:

RTC 1 (Rapid Transit Corridor): Dream City to Kamrej/ Vav (29 km)

Dream city to Kamrej/ Vav corridor is about 29 km long cutting across the city centre and alsoconnecting two far ends of the city. This corridor can be divided into three parts, i.e. Dream City toMajura Gate, Majura Gate to Surat railway station, Railway station to Sarthana and Sarthana toKamrej/ Vav based on the adjacent land use characteristics.The section from proposed Dream city to Majura Gate is about 8km, of which Majura Gate to Althanis fairly densely developed with mixed uses- industries, educational institutions, commercial and lowerand middle income residential land uses. The section from Althan to Dream City is currently developingwith residential and commercial land uses coming up in this area. Recently, the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry(SGCCI) has developed ahuge Exhibition Centre on this corridor towards proposed Dream City, which is likely to be a majorattraction node in near future. Dream city is the one of



the prestigious projects of Surat for whichmaster planning is completed and the construction is underway. Envisaged as the diamond hub ofIndia, it is expected to generate huge employment in future.Majura Gate to Railway station corridor passes through the city centre area which is very densely built-up. The development consists of commercial, retail local markets, government buildings etc. The innercity is the major employment and attraction area in the city. The area around Railway station is also a major node. Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation(GSRTC) and the existing city busterminals are also located in close proximity to the station, owing to which this node is already beenplanned and developed as the multimodal transit hub. There is already an operational BRT from Railway station to Kamrej via Sarthana and Valak. The sectionfrom Railway station to Sarthana is highly dense with mostly commercial and retail markets. It alsoprovides direct access to Hirabaug and surrounding area which is the existing diamond hub of the city.There are many power loom clusters situated along the corridor which operate 24x7. The section from Sarthana to Kamrej is currently developing; Kamrej is already connected to therailway station directly through BRT. There is an alternative node -Vav, 3 kms south of Kamrej on thenational highway, which can also be considered for connecting through a rapid transit corridor infuture.

RTC 2: Bhesan to Umbhel (28 km) Bhesan to Umbhel corridor of around 28km length passing through city centre via Adajan, MajuraGate, KamelaDarwaja and Saroli. This corridor can be divided into three parts; i.e.Bhesan to Adajan,Adajan to Saroli and Saroli to Umbhel. Bhesan to Adajan is the main street of the western part of the city with existing RoW ranging from24m to 36m. A very small segment of around 3km from Bhesan to L P Savani has 24m RoW which isproposed to be widened to 30m in CMP proposal. Roads with 30m and above are appropriate fordevelopment of any kind of rapid transit system.Bhesan to Adajan is the section with predominant upper and middle income group residentialdevelopment. Along the corridor, mixed land use with retail shops and market on the road abuttingproperties can be seen. Many schools, hospitals and recreational activities are also located along thiscorridor. This corridor provides direct connectivity with city centre area. The corridor from Adajan to Saroli via Athwa gate, Majura gate, KamelaDarwaja, is predominantlycommercial. There are many government offices, colleges and major hospitals in the section fromAdajan to Majura Gate. Civil Hospital and B D Mahavir



Heart Hospital are the two big hospitals locatedalong this section. Majura Gate and Udhana are major destinations because of textile and ancillaryindustries lying on this corridor. Udhana junction is on the BRT corridor connecting Sachin. Udhna toKamelaDarwaja is a high employment zone because of location of textile markets and industries alongthis section. KamelaDarwaja to ParvatPatiya through Mithikhadi is again predominantly lined withtextile markets and industries on both side. From ParvatPatiya to Saroli, a lot of new textile marketsare coming up on both sides.The existing RoW on Ring Road is 60m; KamelaDarwaja to Canal corridor, it is 24m and again fromCanal corridor to Saroli, it is 60m. There is a proposal of widening from 24m to 30m the section fromKamelaDarwaja to Canal corridor in CMP. As per initial discussions with SMC, there is also a proposal of station for High Speed Rail (HSR) nearUmbhel, owing to which major external demand is expected at this node in future. Saroli to Umbhelcorridor via Chedcha and Ladvi is about 8km long. It passes through the vacant area currently but thereis a proposal of continuous road from Saroli to Umbhel with 45m of RoW. In future, this corridor wouldprovide connectivity to HSR station and vacant land along this corridor may have an opportunity to bedeveloped as high density commercial and residential land use. RTC 3: Majura Gate to Karmala (15 km) The corridor from Majura Gate to Karmala via Ved has a length of about 15 km. currently the city doesnot have direct connection across the river, and there is no development on the other side of the river.There is a proposal of connection across the river from Ved to Karmala with 45m of RoW that will alsoattract development to happen across the river and will also provide direct connection to city centrefrom other side of the river. The Majura Gate to Ved via Chowk and Katargam has length of about 8km. A lot of government offices, local and informal markets are located along this corridor.The Katargam area has existing textile industries on one side and the other side of the corridor has predominantly residential land use with middle and upper middle income group of societies. Ved is anexisting gamtal having predominantly residential development. There are also many educationalinstitutes are located along the corridor.



1.10.4 Capacity of existing transport system (With and without project Assessment An analysis of vehicular traffic along the corridor with and without the rapid transit corridor has been undertaken, in order to ascertain the importance of the transit corridor. This would help assess the need for the project - what will be the status if the alternative is not implemented. Two indicators have been looked at:

1. Congestion relief because of metro: % corridor congested with VCR more than 0.9 in with metro and without metro scenario.

2. Travel time benefits: Travel time along the corridor and time savings in with metro and without metro scenario.



The results of this analysis have been presented in the summary Table 1.3.

1.10.5 Observations Rapid Transit Corridor 1: Dream City to Vav Rapid Transit Corridor 1 section from Majura Gate to Sarthana section has the maximum PHPDT about34000 in year 2046 which is considerably high. In the year 2026 also, the demand is 15000 PHPDT. In orderto accommodate passenger flow of this magnitude, a metro system is more appropriate. The section fromDream City to Majura Gate is not fully developed as yet and has the proposed diamond hub ‘Dream City’coming up in the future. The demand along this section is therefore expected to increase from 7300 PHPDTin 2026 to 19500 PHPDT in 2046. The rapid transit corridor in this section would support the proposedDream City development and hence can be considered for metro along with Majura Gate to Sarthanasection.

The demand build up from Sarthana-Kamrej/Vav is comparatively slower as this section is currently vacantand the development of the area is expected to happen post 2026. This section can therefore be consideredfor metro in Phase II.With and without project analysis shows that this corridor if planned as a metro, would reduce thecongested network length to 30% in comparison to 44% in the ‘Without metro’ scenario. The travel timesaving along this corridor would be around 10% in with metro scenario. Rapid Transit Corridor 2: Bhesan to Umbhel Bhesan –Umbhel rapid transit corridor connects western part of the city to the city centre and commercialarea coming up along Saroli corridor. As presented in the summary above, the section from Bhesan to Saroli(i.e. A & B) has 16500-24000 PHPDT in 2046 according to demand assessment. In the year 2026, thepassenger demand is around 5800-6500 PHPDT. Saroli-Umbhel section demand in 2026 is 3000 PHPDTincreasing to 10000 PHPDT. However, as and when the High Speed Rail corridor and station comes up,external passenger demand would also get added to this corridor. With and without project scenario showsan overall 10% benefit in terms of private vehicular travel time along the corridor. Since the passenger flow from Bhesan-Saroli section is more than 15000 PHPDT in 2046, it is proposed toconsider metro as the mode for Bhesan-Saroli section. Extension of this corridor to Umbhel may beconsidered in Phase II based on HSR project implementation and demand analysis. Rapid Transit Corridor 3: Majura Gate to Karmala This corridor has a passenger demand of around 19000 PHPDT in year 2046. Majura Gate to Ved section isabout 7km, which is predominantly residential in the Ved area and has textile industries and power loomstowardsKatargam. Looking at the demand, this corridor can be recommended for metro system, howeverowing to road width constraints in the Majura Gate to Katargam section, underground metro may have



tobeconsidered. The section from Ved to Karmala is completely vacant and currently there is no connectionacross the river. This proposed growth towards north of the city may take time to build up. The 2026demand for both the sections is not very high (around 4400 PHPDT). This corridor may hence be consideredin Phase II. In terms of travel time, significant savings to the tune of 25% is observed.

1.10.6 Economic Effects (Social Cost Benefit analysis) Economic analysis have been undertaken to assess economic effects of alternative transit system options for identified corridors. Consideringthe ridership potential of the identified two corridors, two different transport system alternatives namely(i) Metro and (ii) BRT have been analysed through costs and benefits perspectives as given in Table 1.4.

This section attempts to estimate the incremental benefits of metro project over BRT Project for twoidentified corridors. The incremental social benefits can be divided into direct and indirect benefits as given in Table1.5.

Indirect benefits due to decongestion on other modes/routes

owing to Metro Project 1 Lower Vehicle

Operating Cost (VOC) (including Capex in Vehicle, Maintenance cost and Fuel Saving)

The Metro Project is likely to contribute to a diversion of a larger number of passengers from private and other public modes to the metro as compared to the BRT alternative. This will lead to more pronounced savings in vehicle operating

t (VOC)

VOC would also get reduced for vehicles plying on the mixed traffic zone due to decongested roads. The effect would be more pronounced in case of a metro alternative.



2 Passengertime saving Speed of metro is higher in case of a metro leading to higher savings in terms of Vehicle Operating Time (VOT) as compared to BRTS alternative. The diversion of passengers is higher in case ofmetro as compared to BRT. Thus, aggregateVOT benefits would be higher, Reduction of waiting time for trips diverted to Metro from Intermediate Para Transit, two wheelers, cars as compared to BRT owing to higher

Time savings to mixed lane vehicles due to decongestion. Decongestion benefits likely to be higher in case of metro hence enhancing the VOT per vehicle plying on mixed lane VOT benefits will be enhanced at the aggregate level due to higher metro ridership v/s in a BRT.

3 Reduction in Pollution

Decreased carbon emissions from highernumber of diverted vehicles on Metro as compared to BRT alternative. Also, BRT Buses would also generate emissions. All such emissions would not happen in case of Metro.

Number of total vehicleswould be reduced due to Public Transport. This reduction would be higher in case of metro, leading to higher speed and high fuel efficiency in mixed lane and hence Lower Carbon emissions.

Based on the demand analysis, it can be concluded that all three corridors may be considered for metro.However, in the first phase following corridor /corridor sections are recommended: • Dream City- Sarthana (21.61 km) • Bhesan-Saroli (18.74 km) For Phase II, Majura Gate- Ved can be considered. The extension to Karamala based on road networkdevelopment and demand build can be considered after demand assessment. Similarly, extensions fromSarthana-Kamrej/Vav and Saroli-Umbhel can be taken up in the subsequentphase.

1.10.7 Environmental and Social Considerations for Alternative Analysis As per provisions of the EIA Notification, 14th September 2006 and its amendments, any person who desires to undertake any new project in any part of India or the expansion or modernization of any existing industry or project listed in Schedule-I of the said notification shall submit an application to the MOEFCC, Government of India in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Central Government in the MoEFCC from time to time. Metro Rail project is not included in the Schedule-I of the EIA Notification, 2006. Thus, the project does not require an environmental clearance certificate from the MoEFCC. However, Appraisal Guidelines for Metro Rail Project Proposals, issued by Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India (September 2017); recommends a preliminary environmental analysis of the project, to identify environmentally sensitive areas early on, so that these areas can be avoided if possible during design. For the potential metro corridors, a preliminary environmental analysis of the project has been done. This is to identify environmentally sensitive areas early on, so that these areas can be avoided if possible during design. During the DPR preparation the section finalized based various design considerations and alternative construction techniques to reduce the impact on environmental and social aspects. These details are described as under:

Design Considerations

I. Corridor-I: Sarthana to Dream City

Underground Section: This corridor runs from North-Eastern parts of Surat to Central to Southern parts of Surat. From chainage 3805.00m to chainage10270m, section has been envisaged as Underground section due to inadequate space available on road in the areas like Kapodra, LabheshwarChowk, Central Warehouse, Surat Railway Station, Muskati Hospital and Gandhi Baug and Row is less than 20m through which alignment is passing and planning elevated metro alignment on such narrow road will involve demolition of large number of structures. It is also required to provide metro stations at



interval of approximately 1.00 Km, in this stretch to serve inhabitants, which further requires more width and resulting in more demolitions. The alignment is critical from alignment point of view near to LabheshwarChowk Station and Moskati Hospital Station due to space constraints and heavy congestion on road areas and to save dismantling of large number of structures. These two underground stations have been planned on side platform pattern for UP line and Down line at different levels i.e. one-over other. To accommodate these two level stations up line and down line tunnels have been planned one above other by tapering the inter tunnel distance on both sides of the stations. Elevated Section: In order to minimize land acquisitions and to provide good accessibility from either direction, the metro alignments are located mostly along the centre of the roads with single pier supporting the viaduct so that the existing roads remain in use as usual. But, at some locations the geometrics of the roads especially at road turnings may not match with geometric parameters required for metro rail systems. In such cases, either the alignment will be off the road or some properties abutting the road would get affected.

II. Corridor 2: Bhesan to Saroli

This Corridor runs from North-Western parts of Surat to Central area and finally terminates towards Eastern parts of Surat. The entire corridor is elevated corridor. As per Surat DPR- 2018, Saroli Station’s entry/exit S-1 (Area -595.90 sq.m) is proposed in area of ShyamSangini Textile Market, which is G+6 with basement Parking. During the Site visit by GMRCL team from 05/12/2019 to 07/12/2019 with RITES & SMC representatives for SIA survey, it is found that Entry/exit of the station is partially affecting ShyamSangini Textile Market and it may be needed to partially demolish the building which may affect 48 shops. The location of Entry/Exit of Saroli Station is shown in Figure 1.4. In order to reduce the demolition of building and to reduce R&R issues, it is being proposed to relocate the exit as there is enough open land available and road width is sufficient to build Entry/exit structures.



Figure 1:4 Entry/Exit of Saroli Station

III. Depot Planning

Design Interventions carried out at Dream City Depot and along the alignment in roder to reduce the impact on ecology, PAFs and land acquisition. The depot proposed in the DPR was approximately 3 km away from Dream City Metro stations and is located in low laying marshy land. The new depot proposed is approximately 700 mts away from the Metro Station and easy to approach from the main road. The drawing showing the proposed new depot location is given at Figure 1.5. The new depot location is identified at a location, where there is minimal marshy land and no land acquisition is involved.

Structure Affected due to Entry/Exit



Figure 1:5 Dream City Depot Location

A. Alternative Construction Techniques

Underground Alignment: For this stretch, cut and cover method of the underground construction can be employed for the construction of the underground sections. However keeping in view the inconvenience to the traffic movement and land acquisition, it is proposed to use Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) or New Austrian

New Depot Location

Old Depot Location



Tunnelling Method (NATM) in the overburden soil mass. Tunnel excavation for a major length of underground section is expected to be carried out by Tunnel Boring Machines. During tunnelling, the use of precast concrete tunnel segments has been widely used due to its efficient and economical installation process compared to that of normal cast in-situ lining practice and also reduces the construction time at site and less exposed the pollution during construction.

Underground Stations: No land at surface is required permanently for underground section, except for small areas for entry/exit structures, traffic integration, chilling plant and ventilation shafts at stations. To the extent possible these will be located either on footpath edge or in front marginal open setback of the building along the road. All the 06 underground stations have been proposed to be constructed by cut and cover with top-down or bottom up methods. The diaphragm walls for such station constructions would be 80 to 120 cm. thick and will function as a permanent side wall of the station. By resorting to top-down method the surface could be restored quicklyand further excavations and construction of the station will not hamper the surface activities which provide the early traffic restoration and less exposed the pollution during construction.

Elevated Section: The choice of superstructure has to be made keeping in view the ease of Constructability and the maximum standardization of the formwork for a wide span ranges in order to reduce the traffic congestion at work sites, to reduce air and noise pollutions. The segmental construction technology is proposed for construction of the corridors due to the following advantages:

• Segmental construction is an efficient and economical method for a large range of

span lengths and types of structures. Structures with sharp curves and variable super elevation can be easily accommodated.

• Segmental construction permits a reduction of construction time as segments may be manufactured while substructure work proceeds and assembled rapidly thereafter.

• The area required is very less for this technology in compared to cast in situ technology. The superstructure is manufactured at a place away from busy areas and placement of superstructure is done with the system erected from piers at heights.

• It is easier to transport smaller segments by road trailers on city roads. • It is easy to incorporate last minute changes in span configuration if the site

situation so warrants. • Interference to the traffic during construction is significantly reduced. • Segmental construction contributes towards aesthetically pleasing structures and

good finishes. • The overall labor requirement is less than that for conventional methods. • Better quality control is possible in the casting yard • During construction, the technique shows an exceptionally high record of safety. • The method is environment friendly as no concreting work is carried at site for

the superstructure. Elevated Stations: Elevated station is generally proposed with elevated concourse so that land is required only for locating the entry/exit structures. To the extent possible



the Entry and Exit points of stations (underground and elevated) were planned on the foot paths.Traffic integration facilities are provided wherever required and, but no land is proposed for acquisition. In view of the constraints on space on ground floor, it is proposed to provide the concourse area exactly below the Station Building at mezzanine level. All the stations in elevated stretch including terminal station are planned with side platforms. The staircase giving access to concourse area from ground will be located at the edge of footpaths or in front marginal open setback of the buildings in the as far as possible in the open space. Nevertheless it is not possible to find open space at all the locations therefore acquisition of certain private structures is inevitable. In the cross section of station structure, viaduct column will be located on the median/footpath and other supporting columns/piers shall be provided on other sides of the road within ROW. In some the cases where space is major constraint, the cross section is supported by a single viaduct column and cantilever arms to eliminate the columns in the right of way.

1.11 COVID19 Lockdown and Its Impact on SIA/RAP Process

COVID-19 has become a global issue and declared as pandemic by World Health

Organization (WHO). Over the last few months, the whole world is collectively fighting against this pandemic to keep people safe. In India, the first case was officially identified

on 30 January 2020 in Kerala. With this identified case in India, the COVID 19 outbreak created a kind of threat to general public and alerted the Government to monitor closely the 2019-nCoV situation and to intensify preparedness and response efforts. With the

intent to contain the spread of Covid-19, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India had announced a nationwide complete lockdown of 21 days on 25th March, 2020. But, as

spike in corona cases continued, the Prime Minister again, announced that the

lockdown to be continued till 17th May, 2020. However, even today the situation is not normal in Surat.

By end of September 2019 the survey team has completed survey of 358 project affected households. After submission of draft report, a joint site verification visit was

conducted from 6th to 7th November, 2019 by GMRCL, RITES and survey team (DQF).

During the visit GMRCL officials suggested to add some structures for social survey in

proposed station locations.The structures as instructed by GMRCL to add were covered

under census socio-economic survey. By the end of December, the survey team have

completed the survey of project affected households in both the corridors but the

survey of 451 Textile Market in kamelaDarwaja could not be completed due to the

unavailability of the owner of the building. The 451 textile market is located near

https://taxguru.in/goods-and-service-tax/extended-dates-filing-gst-return-due-covid-19-pandemic.html�



proposed kamelaDarwaja station in Bheshan to Saroli corridor. There are approximately

150 PAHs were identified during site visit. The survey of 451 textile market could not be

completed due to non-availability of all the owners and reluctance of the tenants for

the survey. After several meetings with the available owners and tenants, the survey of

textile market was initiated by the survey team in the presence of GMRCL and SMC

officials on 19/03/2020.But due to declaration of lockdown in the country on 24th

March, 2020 the social survey of 451 Textile Market was again stopped. As a result it

was not possible to visit the site and contact PAPs of the building.

As recommended by AFD, GMRCL has made efforts to collect the contact numbers of

owners and tenants of 451 textile market during this COVID-19 lock-down period.

GMRCL contacted few PAPs whose telephone numbers were available. However, they

refused to share informationover telephone.Telephone numbers for the majority were

not available as the PAPs refused to share information of any kind. GMRCL again tried to

convince the owners and tenants to conduct survey through telephone but due to

current pandemic situation they were not ready for survey.

However, GMRCL has communicated RITES over telephone in the month of November,

2020 to drop the survey of 451 Textile Market as GMRCL is planning to redesign the alignment to save the 451 textile market building. The social survey of 451 Textile

Market was not conducted and the same has not been covered in SIA Report.

In the mean time the social survey of refused PAHs was conducted for both the

corridors with the help of local investigators, local administrations and GMRCL

considering the current pandemic situation and community protest at Surat Railway Station in corridor-1.The survey of refused PAHs was conducted in the month of

November, 2020.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 2: Approach and Methodology


2 Approach and Methodology 2.1 Background

The objective of SIA is to prepare a complete inventory of structures, affected

households and persons, to identify social impacts, and to prepare RAP. In order to capture data for the present exercise, both primary as well as secondary sources were systematically tapped. As a part of SIA, census socio-economic survey has been conducted in the Corridor of Impact (CoI) zone to identify the affected structures, households/persons and list out the adverse impacts of the project. The approach and methodology for undertaking the SIA and developing the RAP is discussed in this chapter.

2.2 Scope of the SIA Study

• SIA and RAP is to be prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Government of India, Government of Gujarat and World Bank (WB)

Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 5 "Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement" To prepare area specific social assessment to

support development of a locally relevant approach to resettlement, which

provides benefits to people in the project area. SIA to be carried out by conducting primary and secondary surveys and site visits in order to know the

overall social, economic, cultural and religious aspects of the project.

• The socio-economic survey is to be conducted for all affected households located within area under right of way (RoW) of line, stations and depot/facilities of the

project.

• The social assessment will include gender and poverty issues and local aspects.

The term "local aspects" includes land acquisition, livelihood restoration plan etc.

• To determine the PAP and the scope and magnitude of resettlement landand land

acquisition/project effects, and list likely losses of households, lands, business and

income opportunities as well as affected community assets and public buildings;

• To prepare compliance procedures for implementation of the project. These

include safety concerns, child labour, compliance of labour laws in India, women

in construction activities, basic wages for skilled/unskilled workers, wage equality,

child care facilities of workers around the sites.



• To ensure participation of people in the planning phase, various sections of PAPs

and other stakeholders to be consulted through workshops, focus group

discussions and individual interviews.

• To prepare Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) with participatory approach for the

project to mitigate, compensate, resettle and rehabilitate the adverse social

impacts caused by the proposed project.

• The RAP will include project description, summary of census survey and socio-

economic survey, legal framework, entitlement matrix, institutional framework,

grievance mechanisms, implementation schedule, R&R cost estimate and

monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.

2.3 Objective of the SIA The main objectives of Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study is to

• Provide inputs of social concerns to fit together in project design and to avoid or minimize the adverse social impacts with the best possible engineering solution at minimal cost. The output of social impact assessment exercise would constitute

the inputs of RAP.

• Prepare socio-economic profile of the project affected households/persons based on information collected during census and socio-economic survey.

• Assess the negative impacts (direct and indirect) and to suggest mitigating measures to avoid or at least minimize the adverse impacts on nearby

communities and natural environment, peoples and properties falling along the

proposed metro rail alignment, people indirectly affected by the way of disruption

of livelihood, breakage of community linkages, impacts arising from land

acquisition and resettlement, impacts on indigenous people if any, impacts on

human safety etc.

• Minimize and /or avoid the adverse impacts, necessary modifications are to be made at design stage. But in cases of unavoidable negative impacts these would

be mitigated through suggested appropriate measures.

• Finally to prepare RAP as a part of SIA study to mitigate negative impacts of the

proposed corridors of Surat metro rail project.

2.4 Approach and Methodology The study has been prepared in accordance with the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013,Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and



Resettlement (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 2016and World Bank (WB) Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 5 "Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement".The objective of the SIA study is to have a complete understanding of socio-economic conditions of the affected and displaced households, inventory of public assets, to identify social costs involved and to prepare RAP. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were followed in the study. Various tools of data collection like interview schedule, focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and transect walks were used during the survey. The study was conducted in three phases. The process flow chart indicating the sequential flow of activities is given in Figure 2.1.

2.4.1 Phase – I: Pre Survey Activities

2.4.1.1.1 Collection and review of project literature Upon received of metro alignment from GMRCL, the RITES reviewed the alignment drawing and maps. A verification exercise was carried out with GMRCL officials to identify the project areas in general and affected areas in particular based on alignment drawing. The information verified during this exercise formed the base for carrying out the census and socio-economic survey. Based on relevant documents the consultant carried out social screening of the project. The relevant documents include alignment drawing, DPR prepared by DMRC, 2011 census of India data, RFCTLARR Act, 2013, RFCTLARR (Gujarat Amendment Act) 2016, Alternative analysis report prepared by CEPT, World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (WBESF) 2018. The same documents have been reviewed for preparation of SIA report.

2.4.1.1.2 Rapid reconnaissance survey to familiarize field activities Following to the review and consultations, rapid reconnaissance visits were conducted as part of ground truthing exercise. Rapid reconnaissance visits usually involves short period of visit in the field to familiar with the project area,to identify major social impacts/risks and to understand social issues, problems, organisations through site visit, interview with local people and observation.Team comprising of social scientists, engineers and environmental planners of RITES undertook rapid reconnaissancevisits of proposed corridors of metro rail, Phase-I. Women were also part of the social survey team to facilitate interaction with women in project area(s). The purpose of the reconnaissance was to have an overview of the likely extent of impact on people because of the impending development of the metro rail. This has enabled to cross verify the issues identified through the review of DPR and alignment drawings and also provided the basis for field research preparation and helped in developing and testing survey questionnaires and checklists.

2.4.1.1.3 Scoping and other Pre survey activities Both the review and rapid reconnaissance survey helped in finalizing the study tools and techniques and inception report detailing the final methodology and work plan.



2.4.2 Phase II: Survey Activities

2.4.2.1.1 Enumeration of Structures Before the actual household socio-economic survey, all the structures (i.e. residential, commercial and common properties) that were likely to be affected by the project were identified and were enumerated considering the ROW and its alignment drawing. The private assets were marked with distinct numbers, and type and use of structure was recorded.

2.4.2.1.2 Census and Socio-economic Survey Based on currently available alignments and route map details, a census and inventory

of loss survey of all physical structures falling within the RoW was carried out. This

survey documented the type of structures (size, area) and the nature of use. Along with

the census survey of all the structures, socio-economic survey of affected households

has been carried out to collect details of affected persons/households. Tools/methods

employed for data collection included (Survey and other Tools attached as Annexure 2.1, and Annexure 2.2. Following tools were used for data collation:

a. Collection of information through household questionnaires b. Observations/ physical verifications and capturing images of the structures likely

to be affected.

c. Stakeholders Consultations/Meeting and Individual Interview/Discussionswithdepartments directly involved in land acquisition and R&R activities of the project like District Administration, Revenue Department.Various stakeholders including NGOs have been identified for consultation in different stages of project and the details have been given in Stakeholder Engagement Plan as separate document.

The census survey of the structures and the socio-economic survey of affected

households would be helpful/ used in establishing the Cut- Off date.

The household social survey was carried out with the help of a pre-tested “Household

Questionnaire”. Prior to commence of social survey at household level, Social

Development and Safeguard Specialists of RITES provided two days training to the local

investigators of Development Quest Foundation (DQF) including male and female to

educate them about conducting social survey and group discussion, addressing gender

issues and maintaining field data.The aspects covered in the Questionnaire were

identification particulars of PAHs/PAPs, social profile, family details, occupation, source

of income, family expenditure, household assets, information on affected structure,

commercial/self employment activities, employment pattern, opinion and views of PAPs

on project and resettlement and rehabilitation. Most part of the questionnaire has been



pre-coded except those reflecting the opinion and views of PAP, which have been left

open-ended. The socio-economic data was collected during August-September 2019.



2.4.3 Qualitative Survey Quantitative surveys may not always reveal the facts. This is particularly true when

assessed for poor and vulnerable sections and their dependence on community

resources. Qualitative surveys were conducted for evaluation of both affected

population and implementation capacities. The qualitative survey included public

consultation at project level, group discussions, and in depth interviews with various

sections of people such as small business entrepreneurs (SBEs), kiosks, squatters,

knowledgeable persons and community leaders to elicit their expectations and

suggestions, which will support and provide additional information collected through

quantitative survey.The knowledgeable person refers to theKey informant person who

has specialized knowledge on the subject.During social survey focused group

discussions were organized to discuss with women on various gender issues like child

education, health, livelihood, decision making, women representation, safety while

travelling etc.The social field work was started on 26th July, 2019 and it went up to

September, 2019. The second phase of field work took place from November, 2019 to January, 2020. In between joint site visits were conducted by GMRC officials, RITES

expert and DQF team in the months of November, December, 2019 and January, 2020.

2.4.3.1.1 Review of legal policy provisions and implementation capacity Relevant national and funding agencies guidelines pertinent to the land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement were reviewed. To study implementation arrangements

and its capacity in delivering the R&R services, preliminary verification of these

arrangements and discussions with officers of GMRCLhas been done.

2.4.4 Phase III: Post Survey Activities – Analysis and Reports

2.4.4.1.1 Data Analysis and Reporting Both qualitative and quantitative data analyzing methods were used to analyze the data

collected/gathered from the primary as well as secondary survey. Statistical techniques

along with qualitative data analysis methods were used to obtain required results.

These have been analyzed and presented in this report. The RAP outlines the details of

the project, description of the project location, the magnitude of impacts based on the

census, and spells out the necessary implementation procedures for resettlement and

rehabilitation of the entire project affected persons including the entitlement matrix as well as the legal framework and policies.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 3: Land Assessment


3 Land Assessment 3.1 Land Requirement

In order to minimise land acquisition and to provide good accessibility from either

directions, the metro alignments are located mostly along the centre of the roads,

which lie on the corridor.But, at some locations the geometrics of the roads especially

at road turnings may not match with geometric parameters required for metro rail

systems. In such cases, either the alignment will be off the road or some properties

abutting the road would get affected. The design has been made to keep land

requirements to the barest minimum possible by realigning the design away from

private property and human habitation.

The proposed metro rail project will involve acquisition of 543044.86sqm. Out of the total land requirement, 526477.86sqm(96.9%) is government land and only 16567sqm

(3.1%) is under private acquisition. However, the project will require very less private

land. Corridor wise land requirement is given in Table 3.1.

category. Out of these 18 PAHs are women headed households, 19 PAHs are below

poverty line, 25 PAHs having disability and old age persons. Apart from that, 38 and

18 PAHs belong to Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes respectively (Table

4.19).Both Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are considered as vulnerable group

because the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) falls under the

provisions of Constitution of India and get preferential treatment in the government benefits because these people are traditionally vulnerable.The vulnerable

households do not include the PAHs whose both house and commercial activities are

impacted due to the proposed metro rail project.

5 SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL PROFILE OF AFFECTED POPULATION

5.1 Profile of Project Affected Households

The alignment drawing and information provided by engineering team was the basis

for identification of affected structures, project affected households (PAHs) and project affected persons (PAPs). The study covers affected households, which includes titleholders and non-titleholders. The group of non-titleholders included tenants, squatters and kiosk. There are 676 PAHs. Socio-economic survey was conducted for 608 PAHs. 68 PAHs have refused to provide information out of which 48 PAHs are from corridor-I and 20 PAHs are from Corridor-II. Few PAPs were contacted over telephone. But they refused to provide information. Telephone numbers for the majority were still not available as they refused to provide information of any kind. However, later the PAPs were convinced by GMRCL to participate in social survey. The analysis is based on the responses from the surveyed households. Data revealed that due to development of proposed metro rail project 676 PAHs would be affected either because of loss of residence, commercial or other structures. It is important to be mentioned that all the 608 PAHs have been covered through socio-economic survey. The data collected through socio-economic survey generated demographic and socio-economic profile of project affected households. The data has been compiled and presented in tabular forms.

5.2 Demographic Characteristics Table 5.1 shows demographic characteristics (i.e. sex,age and marital status) of the household members.

5.2.1 Gender and Sex Ratio The data on gender and sex ratio is very helpful indicator to know the participatory share of male and female in the society, which is also an important indicator for human development index. Among the surveyed household members, it is observed that 52.2% are male and remaining 47.7% are female. It is observed that males dominate in both the corridors. The sex ratio is 912 female per 1000 male. Sex ratio in corridor-1 is 898 and 948 in corridor-2 per 1000 males. The sex ratio is relatively high in Bheshand to Saroli corridor.

5.2.2 Age Group The persons of surveyed households have been categorized into five age groups. The distribution of member’s age in various group shows that 22% of the total surveyed members belong to below 14 years. 8.3% of members belong to the age group of 15-



18 years. About 31% belong to the age group of 19 to 35 years who are potentially productive group. 28% of members belong to 36-59 years. About 10.6% of total members belong to 60 years and above, who are dependent population. It is observed that majority of members belong to 19 to 35 years age group.

5.2.3 Marital Status The marital status of the surveyed household members is indicated under four categories – married, unmarried, divorced and widow. It is observed that out of total surveyed household members, majority of them (80%) are married whereas 14.3% are unmarried. Remaining 4.5% of them are widow and 1.2% are divorced.

5.3 Social Characteristics Table 5.2 shows social characteristics like religious and social groups, family pattern and its size of PAFs and educational level of household members.

5.3.1 Religious and Social Groups Data on religious groups was collected in order to identify people with the specific religious belief among the surveyed households. The religious beliefs and social affiliation of the people are indicators that help to understand cultural behaviour of



the groups. The social and cultural behaviour will help to understand the desires and preferences of surveyed households, which is a prerequisite to rehabilitate the surveyed members and their households. Table 5.2 shows that four religions are practised in the study area viz., Hindu, Muslim, Christina and Jain. The study result shows that about 79.2% of the surveyed households are Hindu followed by Muslim (17.5%) and Jain (3%). Only one Christian household is identified in corridor-I. Majority of households are Hindu in both the corridors.

The social affiliation of the group differentiates them for benefits under government schemes. Social groups indicate status within the society, preferences and vulnerability. The households belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) falls under the provisions of Constitution of India and get preferential treatment in the government benefits because the group includes the people who are traditionally vulnerable. Except general category, all other groups need attention and to be addressed for their backward socio-economic conditions. The survey results show that about 53.6% belong to General Caste followed by Other Backward



Class (37.1%).About 6.2% are Scheduled Caste and 3% are Scheduled Tribes. Both Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes households are found in both the corridors.

5.3.2 Family Pattern and Family Size Family Pattern and Family Size indicate the fabric of sentimental attachment among the family members, social value, economic structures and financial burden. It is observed from the Table 5.2 that majority of surveyed households are joint (55.5%) followed by nuclear (42.5%) and individual (1.8%). It is also observed that majority of surveyed households belong to joint family in both the corridors.

Family size has been classified into three categories i.e. small (2-4), medium (5-7) and large (7 & above). Table 5.2 shows that majority of households (39.6%) are medium in size followed by 36.8% households are small type and remaining 23.5% households have their members more than seven. Majority of medium size households are found small in corridor-I and medium in corridor-II.

5.3.3 Educational Attainment Education is a tool for vertical mobility in the society. It provides an opportunity to participate in the process of growth and development. However, it also creates differences among people and introduces a new kind of inequality between those who have it and those who do not. In all the cases, education is a basic need and the best indicator of socio-economic development of a region. Table 5.3 shows that out of the total surveyed PAPs, about 12.4% are illiterate (male 8.2% and female 17%). Female are found more illiterate than male in project area. So far as educational attainment is concerned 20.5% are educated up to primary class whereas 33.3% members have studied upper primary. It is observed that majority of male and females have studied up to upper primary class in both the corridors. About17.5% of them has studied up to high school. 12.5% surveyed persons have graduated whereas 2.8% have done post-graduation. Remaining 1.2% has under gone technical and vocational courses. More illiterate are found in Sarthana to Dream City corridor because large number of squatter and kiosks are identified in this corridor.

5.4 Economic Conditions The economic condition of surveyed households describes occupational pattern, total household income, and number of earning and dependent members along with employment opportunity. The occupational pattern includes work in which the surveyed head of the households are involved. The household income includes the income of all the earning members in each households. The earning members include the people who work and earn to contribute to the family; however dependents include housewife, children, elderly people and others who cannot work and earn.

5.4.1 Main occupation of surveyed PAPs Occupational pattern of the surveyed PAPs is recorded to assess their skill so that income generation plan can be prepared accordingly for alternative income generating scheme. Secondly, occupational pattern helps in identifying dominating economic activity in the area. The survey results in Table 5.4 show that 33.7% of surveyed PAPs are shop keepers. The shop keepers are self-employed. Out of the



total surveyed PAPs, 6.1% of them are working as daily wage earner whereas 8.7% are salaried. 39.7% house wives are identified who are unemployed. 0.9% is cultivators. About 9.7% surveyed PAPs are not working but the other earning members of the family are taking care of the family expenses. The non working PAPs includes below 18 years of age and above 60 years/retired persons and aged who are unemployed. Only one PAP is identified who is pension seeker. 0.9% surveyed PAPs did not respond. It is observed in both the corridors that majority of PAPs are involved in shop keeping activities.

5.4.2 Employment opportunity of Households Table 5.4 shows the employment opportunity of surveyed PAHs. Only 1.1% PAHs reported that they get seasonal employment opportunity. They are not migrants. Migrants PAHs are not found during survey. A total of 79.6% of PAHs get employment opportunity throughout the year in both the corridors. About 19.2% of households are found who do not have employment opportunities on a regular basis. It is observed that majority of households in both the corridors have got employment opportunity throughout the year.

5.4.3 Household monthly income Table 5.4 shows corridor wise monthly income of head of the household and other earning members in the household. The table shows that majority of households (28.8%) have monthly income in between Rs.5001 to Rs.10000. The average income of a household in corridor-1 is Rs.18,100/- and in corridor-2 is 29,512per month. Average monthly income in both the corridor is Rs.23,806. This is to be noted that 10.3% households did not respond when they are asked about their income.

5.4.4 Household earning and dependent members Table 5.4 shows total number of earning and dependent members in the surveyed households. Majorly 39.6% households have 1 to 2 earning members in both the corridors. The average number of earning members is 1.7 in corridor-I and 1.6 in corridor-II. Talking about dependents, majorly 62% households have 1 to 2 dependent members.

5.4.5 Households Consumption pattern Table 5.5 shows corridor wise average monthly expenditure of PAHs. This table indicates the consumption pattern. It is observed that majorly people are spending



on food, agriculture, education, clothing, transport, health and social function. This reflects the basic necessity of the surveyed households.According to Cost of Living in India-A 2018 Guide, monthly food (groceries) would cost around Rs.1500-4000 a month per person. Food consumption in Surat city is slightly higher than the national average due to existing of joint families,the introduction of mall culture and dining out weekly.The housing expenses include electricity bill,municipal corporation tax (water bill) and repairing & maintenance cost. The PAPs would spend on an average Rs.1500-2000 per month if they find a flat today.Talking about transport, People in Surat city prefer to use their own vehicle rather than public transport to reach their work station, market,college and other places.On an average a person travels 15-25 km per day. Therefore, transport cost is more expensive.It is observed that the consumption pattern in Bheshan to Sarolicorridor is relatively high.

5.4.6 Possession of Household Assets The possession of household assets has been identified of the project affected households during the census socio-economic survey. The following assets have been identified in the surveyed households as mentioned in the Table 5.6. It can be observed from the table that majority of them have television (44.4%), fan (74.3%), mobile phone (90%), motor cycle (59.7%), Car (16%) and refrigerator (30%). Some of them have tape recorder or radio (8.9%), washing machine (12.2%), cycle (14.5%), air conditioner (18.3%), and other assets (3.8%). Few of surveyed households have bus/truck (1.5%).

5.5 Gender Issues Table 5.7 shows corridor wise property ownership by women. This is to be noted that 437 households were surveyed in corridor-1 whereas 171 households were surveyed in corridor-2.Out of the total surveyed households in corridor-1, 47 households were identified where women have title for land and house. Similarly in corridor-2, out of the total surveyed (171) households, 29 households were identified where women have title for land and house.

Out of the total surveyed households only 30 households were identified where women have joint ownership in corridor-1. Similarly out of the total surveyed households in corridor-2 21 households were identified where women have joint ownership. It is observed from survey data that in majority of cases husbands have titles for the ownership of land and house. Although the husbands hold the ownership of land and house but they have informed and discussed with women before purchasing the property.

5.9 Rehabilitation and Resettlement options Table 5.13 shows that about majority of surveyed households (72.3%) are willing to shift due to the proposed project. This implies that the surveyed households are willing to shift to a new structure. This question was asked to both residential and commercial PAPs. Commercial PAPs are more willing to shift than residential PAPs if they are relocated to a new built up market complex nearby area.23% of surveyed households do not want to shift to a new structure. These households responded that shifting to a new place or structure might cost them losing their livelihood along with access to other basic facilities such as market, school, college, hospital, neighbourhood etc. About 4.6% households did not respond because they were reluctant to answer this question. Talking



about mode of compensation majority of surveyed households (41.2%) has preferred structure for structure loss. The preference for structure for structure loss applies for both residential and commercial structures. This option will be available for all PAPs. Apart from that 20% households have opted land for land loss, cash for structure loss (9.2%) and Cash for land loss (7.4%) project assistance (3%). Only one PAH in corridor-I responded that they do not want for relocation. This question was asked to both residential and commercial PAHs. It is to be noted that 19% surveyed households did not respond when asked about compensation. The respondents were asked if alternative house/shop get constructed by the project proponent then what would be their preferred location. Responding to this majority of them reported that they would prefer the same settlement (54.2%). About 10.8% households preferred anywhere in Surat city whereas 12.1% households would like to explore other options. 22.8% households did not respond when asked for preferred location. Talking about income restoration assistance, majority of surveyed households (33.4%) have preferred for employment opportunity followed by vocational training (23%). 14.3% households reported that they would need financial loan assistance.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project(Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 6: Potential Social Impacts


6 Potential Social Impacts 6.1 Approach to identify impacts

The key objective of the exercise is to make an assessment of impacts of proposed

land acquisition on social, economic and cultural life of the directly impacted land

losers as well as other indirectly impacted population residing within the area of

impact. Accordingly, primary survey covering door to door survey of entire directly

impacted population was conducted. This was supplemented by focus group

discussion and community meetings, interview of community members, community

leaders of project area and secondary research of project documents and interview

of project officials, revenue officials and officials of different line departments of

government.

Affected community’s perception, views recorded either during face to face

individual interviews or in groups during community meetings/FGDs is the key input

for assessment of impacts. Authenticity of the community perceptions/views was validated, wherever possible, through secondary data and interview of

project/revenue/other government officials.

6.2 Negative Impacts

6.2.1 Loss of Land The proposed metro project shall require land for different purposes. Land is mainly

required for stations, running section, depot, and receiving substation (RSS) Land required for temporary office accommodation, segment casting yard shall be

required temporarily. Acquisition of land shall make affected families landless,

houseless, and jobless in most of the cases. Therefore, every effort has been made to keep land requirements to the barest minimum by realigning the alignments away

from private property / human habitation. After planning, the land requirement is

kept at minimum and particularly, acquisition of private land was avoided.

The project will involve acquisition of 543044.86sqm. Out of the total land

requirement, 526477.86sqm(97%)is government land and only 16567sqm (3%) is

under private acquisition. However, the project will acquire very less private land of

total permanent land acquisition.

6.2.2 Impact on Structures There are total 422 structures are affected. Out of the total structures, 105 are

residential, 196 are commercial structures, 22 are residential cum commercial, 99 are

other structures which include government buildings, community and religious

structures. Out of the total structures, 51structures are found in government land

whereas 371 structures are found in private land. Of the total structures294 are fully

affected and 128 are partially affected.

6.2.3 Impact on Households and Persons There are 676 households consisting 3464 persons affected due to the proposed

metro rail project. The number of PAPs does not include the PAHs who refused to

give information and not available during the survey.Out of total affected

households, 533 households shall be displaced in which 130 households physically

and 403 households economically. There are 351 titleholders and 325 non-

titleholders (115 tenants, 57 squatters, 153 kiosks).

6.2.4 Impact on Vulnerable Groups As regards vulnerability among PAHs, there are 118 households who belong to

vulnerable category. Out of these 18 households are women headed households, 38



households are scheduled caste, 18 households are scheduled tribes, 19 households

are below the line of poverty including women headed households, and 25

households having disability people and old age.

6.2.5 Impact on Business and Livelihood Activities Out of 676 PAHs, 403 PAHs have business or commercial establishments falling under

the direct project impact and they shall be economically displaced. Majority of them

are involved in shop keeping, business, small mobile kiosk, household items,

restaurant, etc. Mobile merchants are already included in the category of Kiosks.

Business loss to these establishments may be inferred from the income earned from

these sources. Nearly 28.8% of the surveyed households earn up to Rs.10,000 per

month, as reported during the census survey. Another 27.1% PAHs earns between

Rs.10000 to Rs.20000 per month. 9.2 % households have reported earning between

Rs.20001 to Rs. 30000. About 4.8% households reported earning between Rs. 30001

to Rs. 40000. Another 5.4% households reported earning between Rs. 40001 to Rs. 50000. 4.7% households have monthly income more than Rs. 50000. It is observed

from the data that about 403 PAHs will be losing quoted income accruing from the

affected business or commercial structures. These households will get compensation

and other assistance for loss of their business/trade as per provisions in the

RFCTLARR Act.

6.2.6 Impact on Women The SIA results showed that due to development of proposed metro rail project in

Surat city, about 676 households consisting 3464 persons would be affected. Among

the affected persons nearly 47.7 percent were women members. A total of 18 female headed households, 1653 women members were affected. Women in the project

area mostly involved in, house work, private jobs, labour work and managing small

shops. It is observed that women are working hard in bringing in income to the

family. There is predictability of negative impacts as a result of relocation or loss of

livelihood and that may affect the women social relationships, adjustments in

running a household in a different setting with lesser earnings. All this can result in the women opting for voluntary work to supplement income, which could lead to

vulnerabilities that may affect her social, economic, physical and emotional health. It

is, thus, imperative that women are required to be involved as full-fledged

participants taking part at all the stages of the project starting from planning through

implementation and even at the post project stages



6.2.7 Impact on Community Assets and Cultural Resources Survey for the identification of structures related to community property resources

was conducted along the proposed alignment with an objective of identifying

structures of common property resources such as temple, educational institution,

trust, and other structures such as roads, government buildings, and boundary walls

expected to be affected by the proposed alignment. Common property resources are

divided into government structures and community owned structures associated

with public use.The community properties will be replaced in consultation with the

community people and concerned authorities before commencement of civil work.

Boundary wall of school and college premises in project area are partially affected

and this will not lead to closing of any school and colleges. Compensation will be

provided by project proponent (GMRCL) for construction of partially affected

boundary walls. Moreover, noise barrier has been proposed to be installed near to

these educational institutions for reduction of noise pollution.Corridor wise details of other structures are given in Table 4.21 and Table 4.22 in chapter-4.The details of

government and other structures are given in Annexure-4.2. No heritage building is

affected due to development of Surat metro rail project.The project shall impact total

50 community structuresand48 government structures.

6.2.8 Employment Loss of Wage Earner About 167 persons including 155 male 12 female working in various

shops/commercial units in both the corridors will lose their job due to acquisition of

land for the proposed project. This includes only employees of shops/commercial units. Persons who will lose their job due to effect of business establishments/ shops

will get compensation for loss of their job.

6.2.9 Displacement Those households who are fully affected due to land acquisition for the project and

they are considered for relocation can be referred as Project Displaced

Households(PDHs).Out of the total 533 displaced PAHs 407 PAHs are in Corridor-1

and 126 PAHs are in Corridor-2. 130 PAHs would be displaced physically and 403

PAHs would be displaced economically due to proposed metro rail project.

6.2.10 Positive Impact The metro project shall contribute to reduce in road traffic and road stress, fuel

consumption, air pollution, travel time, vehicle operating cost, accidents and road



maintenance. The metro project shall increase mobility, better accessibility to

facilitates the influence area, increase economic stimulation in the micro region of

infrastructure, increase social wellbeing, increase business opportunities, improve

aesthetics and image of the city. Overall the metro rail project shall change the

transportation face of Surat city.

Views of the respondents revealed that there are some positive benefits of the metro

project. About 32.2 percent of respondents agreed that there will be a better

transport facility in the city and 15 percent feel that he proposed project will lead to

the development of city whereas 6 percent respondents reported that the metro

train facility will be helpful for women to have a safe and convenient means of travel.

They believe that the metro development may decrease traffic, accidents and

pollution in terms of greenhouse gas emission.During community consultation people

also perceived following positive impacts:

Livelihood opportunity:During public consultation at project level, the respondents reported that the proposed metro rail project will lead to diverse ways of livelihood

opportunities for the people in the city. Surat is known for its vibrant textile markets

across the country and the proposed metro project will enlarge the growth of the local as well as textile market which in turn will benefit to all kinds shop keepers,

merchant as well as business class. They further added that the daily wage labourers

shall get job opportunity during the construction of the project. It is also reported that the qualified persons will get employment opportunities during operation of the

metro project. Furthermore, it will also create an opportunity for the poor people to

open a shop and small businesses near to the metro stations.

Value appreciation of land and other immovable property: The affected community admits that rate of land and other immovable property will hike because of the

proposed metro project.

Transportation facility: FGDs conducted in affected areas reveals that the major

outcome of the proposed metro rail project would be more convenient and

integrated transport facility in Surat city. Irrespective of places majority of the

respondents accepted that after the introduction of the metro train facility there

would be an efficient and effective transport facility in the city. The metro train will

save fuel, reduce traffic on the road, reduce pollution and road accidents. Benefit of women: During field discussion, the women respondents reported that the

metro train facility will be very helpful for the working women. While travelling in



metro they will be able to save lot of time and can go back home soon and take care

of their children and the family. They also said that they can work till late in the

evening without worrying for the last bus to catch. They further said the availability

of metro train facility will enlarge their scope of getting jobs. The poor women from

the slum communities are looking into this metro project as a source of their

livelihood. They said that they would like to sell flowers, water bottles and other

packaged food at the metro stations if allowed.

Improvement in Quality of life: FGDs conducted in affected areas reveals that several

earning opportunities would become available for the local people. Once the

infrastructure facilities are developed marketing facilities are likely to come up in the

region leading to general prosperity and economic upliftment of the people of the

project area.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 7: Public Consultation, Participation & Information Disclosure


7 CONSULTATION, PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

7.1 Background

Public consultation is a continuous process throughout the project period-project

preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation stages. The sustainability of

any infrastructure development project depends on the participatory planning in

which public consultation plays major role. To ensure peoples ‘participation in the

planning phase of this project and to treat public consultation and participation as a

continuous two way process, numerous events were arranged at various stages of

project preparation i.e., Detailed Project Report(DPR). Aiming at promotion of public

understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental problems such as local needs, problem and prospects of resettlement, various stakeholders i.e., displaced persons,

government officials, local community leaders, people and elected representatives of

the people are consulted through community meetings, focus group discussions,

individual interviews and formal consultations. The project will therefore ensure that the displaced 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 and evaluation of project results and impacts.

Keeping in mind the significance of consultation and participation of the peoplewho arelikely to be affected due to the proposed project, public consultation has been

taken up as an integral part of social and environmental assessment process.

Consultation was used as a tool to inform and educate stakeholders about the proposed action both before and after the development decisions were made. It

assisted in identification of the problems associated with the project as well as the

needs of the population who arelikely to be affected. This participatory process

helped in reducing the public resistance to change and enabled the participation of

the local people in the decision making process. Initial public consultation has been

carried out in the project areas with the objectives of minimizing probable adverse

impacts of the project and to achieve speedy implementation of the project through

generating awareness among the community about the benefits of the project.



7.2 Consultation and Participation Consultation with PAPs is the starting point to address involuntary resettlement

issues concerning land acquisition and resettlement. People affected by resettlement

may be apprehensive that they will lose their livelihoods and communities.

Participation in planningand managing resettlement helps to reduce their fears and

gives PAP's an opportunity to participate in key decisions that affect their lives. The

initial step for consultation and participation is to identify the primary and secondary

stakeholders and sharing information about the proposed metro rail project with the

local and affected people.

Public information and consultation was carried out during the project preparation

stage in the form of public meeting, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), in-depth

interviews and individual consultations. The consultation process ensured that the

likely project affected persons (PAPs), local community and other stakeholders were informed in advance to participate and consult actively. This serves to reduce the

insecurity among local community and likely PAPs opposition for the project because

of transparency in the consultation process. The purpose of consultations was to inform people about the project, their issues, concerns and preferences, and allow

them to make meaningful choices. Consultations will also be carried out during the

implementation, monitoring and evaluation stage. Concerns, views and suggestions expressed by the participants during these consultations have been presented in the

following sections. The outcomes of consultations have been shared with design

team to incorporate in design wherever possible.

7.3 Objectives of the Consultation The main objective of the consultation process is to inform the PAPs about the

anticipated benefits, negative impacts and mitigation measures of the project. The

objectives of public consultation as part of this proposed Surat metro rail project are:

• Disseminate information to the people about the project in terms of its

activities and scope of work; and understand the views and perceptions of the

people affected and local communities with reference to land acquisition or

loss of structure and its due compensation.

• Understand views of affected people on land acquisition and resettlement

options and generate idea regarding the expected demand of the affected

people;

• Identify contentious local issues which might jeopardize the implementation

of the project;



• Identify and assess major economic and social information and characteristics

of the project area to enable effective social and resettlement planning and its

implementation.

• Resolve issues related to impacts on community property and their relocation.

• Establish transparent procedures for carrying out proposed works;

• Create accountability and sense of local ownership during project

implementation;

• Establish an understanding for identification of overall developmental goals

and benefits of the project.

7.4 Tools for Consultation During preparation of SIA preliminary public consultations and discussions were

conducted by RITES study team with the help of SMC and IA through community

meetings with PAPs as well as general public and group discussions at particularly Project Affected Areas (PAAs).

The following methods were adopted for conducting public consultation:

• Public meetings/consultations

• Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with different groups of affected people including residential groups, traders, and slum dwellers (squatters).

• Discussions and interviews with key informants

7.5 Approach and Methods of Consultation Preliminary public consultations and discussions were conducted by RITES study team

through community meetings with Project Affected Persons (PAPs) as well as general public and group discussions at identified station locations in Surat. The consultation

process involved various sections of affected persons such as traders, shop owners,

residents, squatters, kiosks, student group and other inhabitants. During public

consultations, issues related to trees transplantation, adaptation of public transport

from private transport, benefits of metro project, land acquisition, loss of customer

and income, compensation, traffic and pollution during construction, income

restoration, employment generation, information flow, grievance redressal, safety,

health and education facilities for children of PAHs etc. were discussed. The

Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) addresses all issues raised during public consultation

and recommends institutional strengthening measures as well. Walk-through

informal group consultation at station locations and other nearby locationswas

conducted involving different people including residents, traders,shop keepers and

slum dwellers who are likely to be affected as well as non-affected people.

7.7 Major Findings of Public Consultation It is important to mention that the public consultation has been conducted with both

types of respondents either directly or indirectly affected due the proposed metro

rail project in Surat city. Major social issue like relocation, livelihood opportunity,

shifting allowance, women empowerment, awareness about project and benefits of

the projectfor youths were discussed during consultation.

Relocation Option:While talking about relocation options, the respondents have

actively expressed their opinions about this issue of relocation. The respondents from

slum communities located near to Surat railway station reported that they do not like

to relocate. They are availing the other basic facilities along with source of income to

feed themselves in the present location. Under Smart City scheme they have received

notice from Surat Municipal Corporation to vacate the place. In places like

Figure 18: Public Consultation at UdhanaDarwaja



AlthanTenament, Roopali Canal, Majura Gate and AthwaChaupati the respondents

said that the families shall be relocated by the government if it requires for the

development of the metro rail project. They further added that the people should be

relocated to such places where they can be able to access the basic facilities like

school, hospital, local market along with source of income. They also added that the

business class people will not find it difficult to relocate themselves as they have lot

of resources. It was also discussed that the local government authorities should be

sensitive and have an integrated plan for relocation of the project affected

households.

Acommunityconsultation meeting was conducted on 16th August, 2019 by

Development Quest Foundation(DQF) team under the supervision of Ms.Hetal Shah

in Ambikanagar slum community. The slum is located on the land which belongs to

railway authority.During consultation people reported that they have been served a notice

by Surat Municipal Corporation in 2014 under

Smart City schemes to vacant the place.They further said that a court case was going on. It

is important to mention that the slum is

located about 100 meter away from the proposed metro rail alignment (see the

picture). Therefore it does not fall in the

proposed metro project site. So, the issue which was raised by the people in Ambikanagar slum is not relevant to the proposed metro rail project.

Livelihood Opportunity:During public consultation, both positive and negative

aspects of livelihood opportunity have been discussed. It was observed that livelihood opportunity is very much connected with relocation option. Majority of

respondents reported that due to land acquisition and loss of shops in market

locations like LabheshwarChowk, Maskati hospital, Majura Gate the people will lose their income opportunities. They further said that the auto rickshaw drivers, rickshaw

pullers will be affected due to loss of income after the introduction of metro train

service in the city.It will be difficult for poor people to survive themselves whose

shops are affected. In UdhanaDarwaja, the respondents reported that it would be

difficult for Surat Municipal Corporation(SMC) to relocate the shop keepers and other

business men.At the same time the other group of respondents reported that the

proposed metro rail project will lead to diverse ways of livelihood opportunities for

them.Surat is known for its vibrant textile markets across the country and the

Distance of Ambikanagarslum( marked in yellow) from proposed Metro alignment



proposed metro project will enlarge the growth of the local as well as textile market

which in turn will benefit to all kinds shop keepers, merchant as well as businessclass.

They further added that the daily wage labourers shall get job opportunity during the

construction of the project. It is also reported that the qualified persons will get

employment opportunities during operation of the metro project.Furthermore, it will

also create an opportunity for the poor people to open a shop and small businesses

near to the metro stations.

Shifting Allowance:During public consultations in slum areas the people reported

that they do not want shifting allowance as they do not want to relocate from the

present location. Majorly people reported that as a part of compensation they do not

want money, but they want land for loss of land, house for house and shop for shop.

They further said that money is not going to be a sustainable solution for loss of land,

house and shop. At the same time another group of respondents claimed that they

would opt for shifting allowance, but it shall be paid considering the local market or government price and the price should be on a higher side as well as satisfactory to

them.

Transportation Facility:It can be said that the major outcome of the proposed metro rail project would be more convenient and integrated transport facility in Surat city.

Irrespective of places majority of the respondents accepted that after the

introduction of the metro train facility there would be an efficient and effective transport facility in the city. The metro train will save fuel,reduce traffic, pollution

and road accidents. Some of the respondents said that presently the city is

experiencing lot of traffic in the city particularly in the local market and textile marketplaces though the city is having maximum number of over bridges. Some of

the respondents expressed a different angel about transport facility. They reported

that earlier the people in Surat have taken time to adopt BRTS (Bus Rapid Transit

System) facility therefore it may take time to adopt with metro train system. The

metro fare may be a concern for the people. The traffic problem during the

construction of the proposed project will be a major challenge for the whole city. The

auto drivers and other private vehicle owners reported that they might lose income

after the introduction of metro train facility.

Women Empowerment:The proposed metro rail project is going to add a lot of

scope, accessibility, safety, mobility and confidence for the development as well as

empowerment of women in a much broader perspective. The poor women from the

slum communities are looking into this metro project as a source of their livelihood.

They said that they would like to sell flowers, water bottles and other packaged food

at the metro stations if they get permission from the metro development authority.

The women respondents said that the metro train facility will be very helpful for the



working women.While travelling in metro they will be able to save lot of time and can

go back home soon and take care of their children and the family. They also said that

they can work till late in the evening without worrying for the last bus to catch. They

further said the availability of metro train facility will enlarge their scope of getting

jobs. They also shared that as a woman they face lot of difficulties while using public

transport facility and metro train will be a safe mode of transport for them.Women in

the city demanded a separate coach reserved for women in the train.

Awareness about the Project:In a different perspective it can be said that the public

consultation itself played an important role to make the people aware about the

proposed metro rail project. Majority of the people said that they have heard about

the project,but they do not have information about the two corridors.In the slum

communities the people said that they heard about Bullet train but not metro train.

Few people said that they came to know about the metro project from the

newspaper and other government officials. In AlthanTenament the respondents stated, “Faster the city, better it is”. Few respondents in Aquarium did not feel that

the project is viable in the city of Surat due to lack of public space.Moreover, the

people said that in future they should be informed, consulted and their opinions and suggestions shall be taken into consideration during the implementation of the metro

project.

Benefits of Youths:The proposed project will play a significant role for the development of youth groups in terms of education, better transport, employment

job opportunities. The youth respondents said that it will be easy for them to

commute to places for coaching, college, local market and workstations. During consultation in slum communities people responded that the uneducated youths

from their communities will find it difficult to get a job during operationbut they may

get engaged in labour workduring construction of the metro project. They also

believed that the contractors and local party may play a crucial role during the

construction of the project though they are hopeful to get the labour work. The local

labours and people from surrounding villages shall be hired during the construction

of the project. The workers from other states shall not be given work or other

employment opportunities. During the consultation, the youth groups found to be

very enthusiastic because they feel that the proposed project will bring a lot of

employment opportunities for them considering their qualification and skills. Some of

the respondents in Majura Gate reported that it would be easy for the diamond

workers to travel and reach to workstations. Finally, the proposed project will create

sustainable job opportunities for youths.



7.8 Information Disclosure and Consultation During social survey, meetings and focus group discussions were conducted to get

wider public input from the primary and secondary stakeholders. The roadside

communities, particularly the affected small business enterprises, took tremendous

interests in the meetings. This consultative approach led to identification of a range

of issues related to land acquisition, compensation, job opportunity for affected

people, women empowerment, transport facilities, road improvements before

construction of metro corridors, reducing disruption of livelihoods and improved

design for roadside amenities/services for the travelling public. Most importantly, the

affected communities strongly felt a sense of participation in the decision-making

process.

Information disclosure is persuaded for effective implementation and timely

execution of RAP. For benefits of PAPs and community in general SIA including RAP

report will be disclosed by implementing agency(IA) and will be available to the local

residents at all times for perusal and photocopying of the same will also be permitted. Disclosure of the SIA report will be informed to the public through

announcements on the local daily newspapers in Gujaratiand Hindi through

stakeholder consultations. During project implementation, Social Management Unit (SMU) of IA shall provide information related to entitlement policy and various

options to the PAPs and community through its Public Information Centre (PIC).SMU

will prepare an information brochure in local language, i.e., Gujarati and Hindi, explaining the RAP, the entitlements and the implementation schedule. The RAP is

required to be disclosed to the affected persons and other stakeholders.

7.9 Community Participation during Project Implementation The effectiveness of the RAP is directly related to the degree of continuing

involvement of those affected by the project. Several additional rounds of

consultations with PAPs will be required during RAP implementation. Consultations

during resettlement plan implementation shall involve disclosure of information,

offer and choice of options if any. Another round of consultation shall occur when

compensation and assistance are provided and actual resettlement start.

The following set of activities will be undertaken for effective implementation of the

plan:

a) SMU, IA will conduct information dissemination sessions in the project area

and solicit the help of the local community/ leaders and encourage the

participation of the PAP’s in RAP implementation. b) Consultation and focus group discussions will be conducted at the affected

areas with the vulnerable groups like women, families of BPL, Scheduled



Castes and Scheduled Tribes to ensure that the vulnerable groups understand

the process and their needs are specifically taken into consideration.

c) SMU, IA with the help of NGO will organize public meetings, and will appraise

the communities about the progress of RAP implementation. Regular update

of the program of resettlement component of the project will be placed for

public display at the project offices.

d) SMU and field offices will maintain an ongoing interaction with PAPs to identify

problems and undertake remedial measures.

A brief on the stages of Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013

STAGE TITLE DESCRIPTION

1 SIA study by Government

The process of land acquisition starts with the preparation of Social Impact Assessment Study. Whenever Government intends to acquire land for a public purpose, it shall consult the concerned Gram Sabha, Panchayat, Municipality or Municipal Corporation and then carry out a Social Impact Assessment study in consultation with them. When and how this consultation will take place, is defined by the Government via notification. Such notification will be brought out in local language and will be made available to the Panchayat, Municipality or Municipal Corporation and the offices of District Collector and SDM. It will be published in the local media and will be uploaded on relevant website of the government. The act mandates the Government to ensure that adequate representation has been given to the representatives of Panchayat, Gram Sabha, Municipality or Municipal Corporation while conducting such SIA study. This study has to be finished in 6 months’ time. After the SIA has been finished, the Government would prepare Social Impact Management Plan. This plan would list all that would be needed to ameliorate the impacts caused by the land acquisition. The SIA includes a public hearing in the affected area. The report of the SIA is made public and is made available to local Government offices.

2 Appraisal of SIA

Once the SIA study is over and its report is ready, the Government will refer this report to an independent multi-disciplinary Expert Group. This expert group has to



be constituted by the government. This expert group has representatives as follows:

• Two non-official social scientists. • Two representatives of the local self-Government

(i.e.) Panchayat, Gram Sabha, Municipality or Municipal Corporation.

• Two rehabilitation experts and • One technical expert.

The chairperson of this expert group will be the person nominated from any of the above members. This group will study the SIA report. If this group finds that the project does not serve any public purpose or the social costs and adverse social impacts of the project outweigh the potential benefits, they will recommend so within 2 months’ time. Once it is done, no acquisition can take place and the entire process is abandoned. However, irrespective of Expert Groups recommendations, the Government can acquire the land. The Government would need to record in writing that:

1. The economic benefits of the project as indicated in DPR.

2. Whether land acquisition is being proposed on a minimum requirement basis or not.

3. Whether there are no other less displacing options available.

3 Notification and Acquisition

After the above two stages are complete, the Government would put in place a preliminary notification in which it would publish the details of the land proposed to be acquired. This notification will be made accessible in local area via various media. The local governments are informed about this notification. Once the notification is published, no project affected person can sell any land or make any other land related transactions. The officers are empowered to enter upon and survey and take levels of any land in the area. The Collector, the Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement shall conduct a survey and undertake a census of the affected households.

World Bank Safeguard

Policies

Objective Applicability Safeguard Requirements

ESS5: Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement

The objective of this policy is to avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement. Where involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, it will be minimized and appropriate measures to mitigate adverse impacts on displaced persons (and on host communities receiving displaced persons) will be carefully planned and implemented.

There will be need for limited land acquisition for certain project corridors resulting in: relocation or loss of shelter; loss of assets or access to assets; loss of income sources or means of livelihood.

Resettlement Action Plan in consultation with the community and project authorities.

ESS7: Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Historically Underserved Traditional Local Communities

This policy aims to protect the dignity, right and cultural uniqueness of indigenous people; to ensure that they do not suffer due to development; that they receive social and economic benefits.

This policy may be triggered if there are indigenous people in the project area; when potential adverse impacts on indigenous people are anticipated; and if indigenous people are among the intended beneficiaries.

Indigenous people development Plan

ESS10:Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure

This policy aims to establish a systematic approach to stakeholder engagement; to assess the level of stakeholder interest and support for the project and to enable stakeholders’’ views to be taken into account in project design and environmental and social performance; to

and social sustainability, and make a significant contribution to successful project design and implementation.

8.2.6 World Bank Social Safeguard Policies and Deviations from the India Law if any and proposed measures for Bridging the Gaps The institutional framework for resettlement and rehabilitation in India is largely

attuned with the World Bank ESMF (ESS5) as its objective has the following:

• To avoid involuntary resettlement or, when unavoidable, minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project design alternatives.

• To avoid forced eviction.

• To mitigate unavoidable adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition

or restrictions on land use by: (a) providing timely compensation for loss of assets

at replacement cost and (b) assisting displaced persons in their efforts to improve, or at least restore, their livelihoods and living standards, in real terms, to pre-

displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project

implementation, whichever is higher.

• To improve living conditions of poor or vulnerable persons who are physically

displaced, through provision of adequate housing, access to services and facilities,

and security of tenure.

• To conceive and execute resettlement activities as sustainable development

programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable displaced persons to

benefit directly from the project, as the nature of the project may warrant.



• To ensure that resettlement activities are planned and implemented with

appropriate disclosure of information, meaningful consultation, and the informed

participation of those affected.

8.2.7 Gap between Indian Law and World Bank Requirements There are certain gaps between the prevailing Indian laws and World Bank’s ESMF(ESS5).

A comparative chart of World Bank’s ESMF (ESS5) and Indian laws is given in the

following table:

Table 8.1: GAP between World Bank Requirements and Indian Laws

Issues/Areas World Bank policy on ESS5 RFCTLARR Act 2013

Measures Application of LA

Applies to all components of the project that result in involuntary resettlement, regardless of the source of financing.

Section 2 Applicable to projects where government acquires land for its own use, hold and control, including PSU and for public purpose; for PPP where ownership of land continues to vest with govt. private companies where 80% of land ownershave given consent or 70% in case of PPP.

Principle of avoidance

Involuntary resettlement displacement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project design.

Social Impact assessment (SIA) should include: (i) whether the extent of land proposed for acquisition is the absolute bare minimum extent needed for the project; (ii) whether land acquisition at an alternate place has been considered and found not feasible [Ref: Section 4 sub-section 4(d) and 4(e)]

Aligns with Bank’s requirements to minimize impacts.

Mitigate adverse social impacts

Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the displaced persons to benefit directly from the project.

The cumulative outcome of compulsory acquisition should be that affected persons become partners in development leading [Ref: Preamble of the RFCTLARR ACT]



Application of R&R

Grievance Redressal Committee

Bank desire that mechanism shall be in place for redressal of grievances of PAPs

There is no such provision at project level in the Indian laws.

In order to meet the requirements of Bank, an efficient grievance redressal mechanism will be developed to assist the PAPs to resolve their queries and complaints

Monitoring and Evaluation

Indicators and monitoring system included in RAP and IPDP

Section 48-50: Set up National and State level Monitoring Committee to review and monitor progress.

Project Authority willbe responsible for internal monitoring. Evaluation Consultant will be hired by Project Authority for mid and end term evaluation of RAP implementation.



The policy framework for resettlement and rehabilitation in India is largely attuned with

the World Bank policies except in some areas where the Indian law does not explicitly

state the requirements. In order to comply with World Bank’s polices, the steps that will

be taken by the project authority are described below.

Grievance Redressal Committee: The current Act, does not clearly mention about

grievance redressal mechanism at the project level. In order to meet the requirements

of World Bank, an efficient grievance redressal mechanism will be developed to assist

the PAPs to resolve their queries and complaints. The GRC will address only

rehabilitation assistance issues both for title holders and non title holders. Grievances

related to ownership rights and land compensation as also R&R can be dealt in court as

per The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,

Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. More details on grievance redressal committee are given in subsequent section.

Establishment of RAP Implementation Team: As per the Act, the implementation of

rehabilitation and resettlement is the responsibility of project proponent and District

Magistrate. However, the Act does not clearly mention about the implementation of rehabilitation and resettlement process at the project level. In order to implement and

monitor RAP effectively, a Social and Environmental Management Unit (SEMU) will be

constituted in GMRCL. The roles, responsibilities and other details pertaining to RAP implementation team is explained in subsequent chapter.

Monitoring and Evaluation: A monitoring and evaluation (M&E) program will be

developed to provide feedback to project management which will help keep the

programs on schedule and make them successful. RAP implementation will be monitored both internally and externally. Project Authority will be responsible for

internal monitoring through their site offices and will prepare quarterly reports on the

progress of RAP implementation. Management Information System would be developed to monitor the resettlement and rehabilitation process. If required an Independent

Evaluation Consultant will be hired by Project Authority for mid and end term

evaluation of RAP implementation.

Other Measures:The Act does not provide special benefits to all categories of vulnerable

groups as defined in this policy; it has now been proposed to provide additional



rehabilitation and resettlement benefits to vulnerable groups to bridge the gap with

World Bank’s requirements.

8.2.8 Rehabilitation and Relocation (R&R) Policy in Respect of Project Affected Persons of all Categories due to Implementation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) of the Surat Metro Project ,Phase-I

Implementing Agency on behalf of Government will use the Project Resettlement Policy

(the Project Policy) for the Proposed Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I). This section

discusses the principles of the Project Policy and the entitlements of the PAPs based on

the type and degree of their losses. The Government of India and Government of

Gujarat’s legal framework for land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement and

World Bank’sESF(ESS5) practicable and their mutually agreeable approaches were

considered with Government practices and World Bank’s Policy.

The key principles of the project policy on Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and

Resettlement are summarised below:

In general, land acquisition will be undertaken in such a way that no project

affected person, with or without formal title, will be worse off after land

acquisition;

All activities and procedures will be formally documented; The property and inheritance rights of project affected persons will be respected;

If the livelihood of the project affected persons without formal title depends on

the public land that they are using, they will be assisted in their effort to improve their livelihoods and standard of living to restore them to pre-displacement

levels;

If project affected person, without legal title, is not satisfied with the above decisions, they can approach the grievance redressal committee;

In cases where there are persons working on the affected land or businesses, as

determined by the social impact assessment, where the project affected person

does not have formal title to the land (e.g. wage earners, workers, squatters,

encroachers, etc.), then compensation/ assistance should be provided to these

project affected persons to ensure no loss, to the extent as determined

appropriate by the social impact assessment;

In cases where land is needed on a temporary basis, project affected persons

who have formal title will be compensated to the assessed fair rental price for



the period during which the land is used and the land will be returned in the

same condition or better as before it was rented.PAPs who are without formal

title will get R&R assistance as given for non-titleholders in the entitlement

matrix;

If resettlement is unavoidable in addition to the payment of fair market value for

all land and immovable property, project affected persons will be provided

assistance in relocation and other related expenses (i.e. cost of moving,

transportation, administrative costs etc.);

These rights do not extend to PAPs(both title holders & non-titleholders who

settle in the affected area after the cut-off date will not be eligible for

compensation and R&R benefits;

The compensation and eligible resettlement and rehabilitation assistance will be

paid prior to taking over of land and other assets for construction purposes; All project affected persons (private and public, individual and businesses)

entitled to be compensated for land acquired; losses, structures or damages will

be offered compensation in accordance with the provisions of this RAP. Those

who accept the compensation amount will be paid prior to taking possession of their land or assets. Those who do not accept it will have their grievance

registered or referred to the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) / courts as

appropriate.Efforts to track those PAPs who are not found will be carried out by publishing notices in the local newspaper as well as taking assistance of the

engaged NGO to locate these PAPs. The amount of compensation for such people

will be deposited with the District Collector.

8.3 The Entitlement Matrix in Respect of Project Affected Persons of all Categories due to Implementation of the Surat Metro Project (Phase-I)

Based on the above analysis of government provisions and World Bank ESS5, the

following resettlement principles are adopted for this Project:

(i) those who have formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part; (ii) those who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part and have no formal

legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are recognized or recognizable under national/state laws; and

(iii) those who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part and have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land.



Cut-off Date: For titleholders, the date of SIA notification [Sec 11] of intended

acquisition as per the provisions of RFCTLARR Act, 2013 will be treated as the cut-off

date, and for non-titleholders the date of completion of final census survey for the

project will be the cut-off date. Non-titleholders available at the time of final census

survey are eligible for compensation and R&R assistance. The information regarding the

Cut-off date will be well documented and will be well disseminated throughout the

project area at regular intervals in written and non written forms and in local language

(Gujarati). PAPs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible

for compensation. They however will be given sufficient advance notice (60 days) to

vacate the premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation.

The project will recognize both licensed and non-licensed vendors, and titled and non-

titled households.

Eligibility conditions for being covered under R&R Policy

All the guidelines mentioned here are collectively and uniformly applicable to all the

PAPs respective to their Entitlements.

a. If the property is shared by more than one family with separate documents to

prove their distinct and independent ownership, then the compensation would

be given separately and if opted for a house, then it would be shared amongst such PAPs.

b. If the Project affected person owns the land from a landlord/actual owner

through non-judicial stamp paper, in such case, if the landlord/actual owner is available to claim the property then the landlord/actual owner would get the

compensation or in case if the landlord/actual owner no more exists then the

stamp papers would be considered and the compensation shall be given to the Project affected person and the ownership patta shall be given to him after 20

years from the date of issue if the landlord does not claim the ownership of the

property in these 20 years. Such PAP will be a title-holder claimant. c. If the property is registered only for one typical use (residential, commercial or

etc.,) and has been occupied by the users for a registered use along with one or

more unregistered use, then the Project affected person has to provide suitable

documents of proof of the unregistered use taking place. If the Project affected

person fails to provide the proof of the unregistered use then he shall be only

compensated for the registered use of the property.



• While performing the survey, the use of the land will be identified and recorded

and will be considered only if the project affected person submits the relevant

document proofs to avail the compensation for the type of the use.

An Entitlement Matrix has been developed on the agreeable approaches and in

compliance with RFCTLARR, Act 2013 and World Bank’s Environmental and Social

Framework.The entitlement matrix summarizes the types of losses and corresponding

nature and scope of entitlements.The entitlement matrix presents the entitlements of

the affected and displaced people in the following order.

a) Entitlement for titleholders consisting of

(i) loss of private land;

(ii) Loss of private residential structure;

(iii) Loss of private commercial structures; (iv) Impact to tenants(residential/commercial/residential cum commercial)

b) Entitlement to Non-Titleholders consisting of

(i) Impact to squatters; (ii) Impact to encroachers

(iii) Impact to Kiosks including mobile mechants

c) Loss of Employment to workers/employees d) Loss of Livelihood

e) Assistance to affected and displaced vulnerable people

f) Common infrastructure and Common Property Resources(CPRs)

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 9: Relocation, Resettlement &Income Restoration


9 Relocation, Resettlement and Income Restoration

9.1 Background

Land acquired for the project and its associated facilities3

9.2 Scope of Displacement and Relocation

will result in displacement

(both physical and economic) of people and structures falling with the Right of Way

(ROW) of the proposed metro corridor. The scope of displacement associated with the

project is closely linked to the impact resulting from this land acquisition and its current

usage by affected land/structure. The GMRC in coordination with Surat Muncipal

Corporation (SMC) will thus be required to take an appropriate strategy for relocation,

resettlement and income restoration as is discussed in this chapter.

The project will entail both physical and economical displacement. Numerical details of

project induced impact on structures and resultant displacement have been discussed

in chapter 4 of this report. Recapitulating these figures that also define the scope of displacement and relocation necessitated, it may be noted that project related

displacement will entail relocation of 533 households. Of these, 130 households would

be displaced physically and 403 would be displaced economically.

9.3 PAP Preference for Relocation

During preliminary public consultation it was noted that most of the residential and commercial PAHs prefer to resettle near their previous place of residence and business.

As per socio-economic survey, 72.3.6% (75.7% in Corridor-1 and 66.7% in Corridor-2)of

total PAHs are willing to shift. R&R implementation NGO will be playing the key

interface role between the project proponents and the PAFs for resettlement and

rehabilitation of PAHs. PAHs preferred the option of employment opportunities during

construction, assistance and loan from government agencies and vocational training.

Details are mentioned below in Table 9.1.

3According to AIIB’s ESP, associated facilities are activities that are not included in the description of the Project set out in the agreement governing the Project, but which, following consultation with the Client, the Bank determines are: (a) directly and materially related to the Project; (b) carried out, or planned to be carried out, contemporaneously with the Project; and (c) necessary for the Project to be viable and would not be constructed or expanded if the Project did not exist.



Table 9:1 INCOME RESTORATION OPTIONS AS PREFERRED BY PAFS

Preferred Option Income Restoration Assistance

1 Employment Opportunities in Construction Work

2 Assistance/Loan from government agencies

3 Vocational Training

9.4 Relocation Options The fundamental principle of resettlement and rehabilitation is that the PAPs should

improve their socio-economic conditions after implementation of the project. Based on

census survey, locations where large numbers of structures are impacted, have been

identified and the requirement of the people that will be subject to relocation has been

assessed. However, the actual number of structure that will be impacted will be verified

after joint measurement survey (JMS). SMC has indicated probable sites for relocations of residential PAHs at 4 locations namely Althan-Bhatar,Bhimrad, Variav, and Bhedwad

under Pradhan Mantri AwasYajana(PMAY) scheme and 5 locations namely Vadod,

Bhestan, Bhestantownship,Kosad and Godadara-Dindoli under JnNURM-BSUP scheme. PAHs (legal titleholders) losing residential units shall be offered tenements of 50sqm

built up area at residential building or cash in lieu of house if opted. The PAHs(Non-

titleholders) losing residential units shall be offered tenements of 36 to 36.5 sqm under

PMAY scheme and 20 to 25.6 sqm under JnNURM-BSUP scheme. GMRCL will construct commercial units for resettlement of PAPs who are economically displaced due to

impact on their business establishments but the ownership of land will remain with

GMRCL.

The detail of project affected area and proposed resettlement sites for non-titleholders

has been presented in Table 9.2. The commercial PAPs whose structures are not fully

affected shall be allowed to retain the remaining part of the structure and carry on with

their business with the concurrence of the AMC.

measures will be taken so as to ensure that that they will not face hardships after

resettlement.Suitable combinations of unit will be worked out to ensure that PAHs are given minimum 50 sq.mts and not less than their existing areas. Those PAPs who are not

willing to shift they will be provided adequate compensation and financial assistance as

per the provision of WB ESS5.

Figure9.1.

9.6 Training Need Assessment For income restoration it is important that available skills with the PAPs is identified and

further upgraded. The NGO which would implement the RAP, will have to firstly conduct an assessment of the training needs. This would include a survey among the PAPs with

options of various skills related to the resource base of the area and available

replacement (with proper forward and backward linkages) and accordingly select trades

for training. As mentioned in the GAP, specific actions will be undertaken to address the

specific training needs of affected women. Based on the training, NGO will identify

income-generating activities for sustainable economic opportunities. This would include

establishing forward and backward linkages for marketing and credit facility. NGO in

consultation with the PAPs, R&R Coordinator of SMU,IA, district administration and

other stakeholders in institutional financing and marketing federations will prepare

micro-plans for IR activities and would be in-charge of implementing the same.



Figure 9:1 RESETTLEMENT SITES



9.7 Inter-Agency Linkages for Income Restoration Majority of the eligible families for income restoration earn their livelihood through

daily labour, petty businesses and therefore, it is imperative to ensure that the PAPs are

able to reconstruct their livelihood. The NGO engaged in the implementation of the RAP

will ensure that the PAPs are facilitated to obtain commercial units near their existing

habitation to minimize disruption to their social network and normal work pattern.

Suitable alternative livelihood schemes will be chosen, where training on skill up-

gradation, capital assistance, and assistance in the form of backward-forward linkages

can be provided for making these pursuits sustainable for the beneficiaries or the target

groups.

A comprehensive support system to the PAPs will ensure income security. The system

will include establishing training need; identification of skills; hiring training staff; providing training to interested PAPs; ensuring that PAPs take up their new vocation;

mid-term evaluation and corrective measures if required; and concurrent monitoring.

The R&R coordinator of the project through the NGO will ensure that these steps are

followed. The results of concurrent monitoring and mid-term evaluation will be shared with the NGO to bring in corrective measures.

The PAPs are required to participate in developing feasible long- term income generating schemes. The long- term options are expected to be developed during the

implementation of the RAP and also supported by the government assistance.

Government of India along with the state governments runs various poverty alleviation programs. Government schemes can be dovetailed especially for those who are losing

source of income as temporary income restoration measure. Participation of PAPs in

those schemes will be helpful for short- term IR gains. Partnering NGO can facilitate PAPs to participate in poverty alleviation programs.

9.8 Steps in Income Restoration (IR) Information on Economic Activities of PAPs: Basic information on IR activities of PAPs

will be available from the census and socioeconomic surveys. Information from base

line surveys will be available on features of economic activities of PAPs under two

categories, viz.

• Land based economic activities

• Non-land economic activities



Based on this information IR activities can be planned. The PIU will consider the available skills, existing professions, resource base of PAPs and their socio-economic characteristics and preferences to tailor individual income restoration schemes.IR

activities are of two types:

• Short term; and

• Long term.

The ensuing section describes both IR schemes. Short Term IR activities

Short term IR activities mean restoring PAPs income during periods immediately before

and after relocation. Such activities will focus on the following:

• Ensuring that adequate compensation is paid before relocation

• Relocation and transit allowances

• Providing short term, welfare based grants and allowances such as: one time relocation allowance, free transport to resettlement areas or assistance for transport,

• Transitional allowances or grants until adequate income is generated, special allowances for vulnerable groups

• With consideration of PAPs skills and needs, promoting PAP access to project related employment opportunities such as:

o Work under the main investment project o Work on relocation teams (e.g., driver, food provision, etc.) o Work on resettlement sites, if any (e.g. construction on, transport,

maintenance, etc. o Women will also be involved as a researcher of survey team, as unskilled

labour and as manager during construction, as staff of NGO, SMU, relocation team(food supplier etc).

Long Term IR Activities

PAPs should participate in developing a range of feasible long-term IR options. Long-

term options are affected by the scale of resettlement which may affect the feasibility

of various non-land based and land based IR options. The long-term options are

government financed, therefore no separate budget is required. However, in R&R

budget provision has been made for the expenses to be incurred towards the

coordination between project and concerned departments for dove tailing of poverty

alleviation schemes. The project officials will coordinate with government (district



administration), including tribal development and social welfare departments, to assure

PAPs access to all schemes for improving IR services. Project financed programs should

include a specific time frame for handing over the project to local administration at the

end of a stipulated period. Availability and access to existing programs should be sought

for all PAPs.

Long term IR activities will be generated once the census surveys and consultation get

over. IR activities will be generated in consultation with the community. Mechanism to

dovetail existing government poverty alleviation programs will be developed in

consultation with the community and officials of district administration.

9.9 Monitoring of IR Schemes The monitoring of IR schemes will be carried out along with the monitoring of other

components of RAP by an outside agency contracted for the purpose. Data related IR

schemes shall be included in the RAP quarterly report as well. The contract will

specifically provide for regular (every six months) monitoring of income restoration of

PAPs. The monitoring will be carried out based on economic indicators. The first monitoring visit should be after the first month then every 6 months. This will help to

identify and possibly reduce PAPs who receive cash compensation from spending

resources immediately.

Vulnerable PAPs who lose their livelihood due to the project will be assisted in

alternative economic rehabilitation schemes and vocational training for skill upgradation as per the requirement of suggested economic scheme. Special emphasis

will be laid on both economic and socially vulnerable PAPs such as those who are below

poverty line; belong to scheduled caste community; and women headed households.

9.10 Plan for Income Restoration

• Identification of affected, vulnerable households through the census survey of PAPs will be undertaken by the PIU of GMRCL with the help of NGO.

• After completing the all necessary ground activities, the NGO will prepare income restoration plan for PAPs based on its field observations and survey

outcome. The income restoration plan shall be discussed with the respective

PAP, PIU officials and the concerned government departments prior to

execution.



• Identification of potential trainees and training needs assessment for vulnerable

households will require a detailed survey and assessment of literacy/educational

level and/or skill sets available with one member nominated by the household

for skill training. The needs assessment would also document income from

various sources, assets, resources and coping strategies currently used by the

household. The strategy would aim at improving/maximizing returns from the

present occupation of the principal earning member or taking up a

new/supplementary occupation aimed at achieving the right mix of activities in

order to enable the household to improve/maintain its living standards. Training

needs assessment would be undertaken by the NGO, supported by PIU. Baseline

details collected for individual households need to be carefully preserved in

order to enable a post-training impact assessment;

• Identification of Local Trainers/Resource Persons or Training Institutes by the PIU will depend on the type of skill training required (as identified through the

needs assessment survey);

• Livelihood Skill Training will be coordinated by the PIU. Training to suit the aptitude of identified trainees would be imparted. A time frame of a maximum

of three months is envisaged for training;

• Internal monitoring of training and submission of progress reports will be done by the PIU.

• Post-training impact assessment is proposed to be conducted by an independent agency, a year after project implementation. The household asset base and socio-economic status would be compared with the pre-project scenario.

Indicators would be developed during detailed design stage.

9.11 Cost Estimate and Source of Funding A tentative cost for implementation of income restoration plan is INR.40.30 lakh. However, detailed budget estimates for implementation of income restoration plan will be prepared by the PIU, assisted by the GMRCL. The budget shall include programs ranging from skill development, training programs, employment placements (in case PAPs meet requirements of available opportunities) etc. Government of Gujarat will

provide adequate budget for implementation of livelihood restoration plan.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final ReportChapter 11: Resettlement and Compensation Costs and Budget


11 Resettlement and Compensation Costs and Budget

11.1 Background

This chapter presents a consolidated overview of budget and the cost estimates. The

budget is indicative and costs will be updated and adjusted to the inflation rate as the

project continues and during implementation. However, the final compensation amount

for the land acquisition and structures will be determined by the Competent Authority.

11.2 Budgeting and Financial Plan The financial plan for the project will essentially include making budget provisions under

the following broad heads.

11.2.1 Compensation for Loss of Land and Structure Land Cost: Project will require acquisition of land for developing of MRTS structures

(including route alignment), station building, platforms, entry/exist structures, traffic

integration facilities, depots/stabling yard, receiving/traction sub-stations, radio towers, temporary construction depots and sites, staff quarters, office complex and operation

control system(OCC). Hence the project will need to provide compensation for land

acquired from legal titleholders, from other government departments. Major

proportion of land required for the proposed metro rail project is under government ownership. However, about 16567 sqm of land is to be acquired from private

ownership. Compensation for loss of private land will be given as per Schedule-I of

RTFCTLARR Act, 2013.

Structure Costs: On account of land acquisition, the project will cause loss of structures

(details provided under Chapter 4 of this report) for which compensation will need to be paid to affected families (both titleholders and non-title holders alike). Compensation

for loss of structure will be given as per Schedule-I of RTFCTLARR Act, 2013.



11.2.2 Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R) Cost Budget provisions under this head will meet direct expenses made on account of

various R&R benefits proposed to be provided to affected families and persons as per

Schedule-II of RTFCTLARR Act,2013.

11.2.3 R& R Implementation and M&E Costs: GMRCL will require to engage an external NGO/Consultant for implementation of R&R

activities. Similarly, an independent evaluation agency is proposed to be engaged for

monitoring and evaluation purposes. Related costs will be met from budget provisions

made under this head.

11.3 Assessment of Unit Value for Compensation and R&R Benefit Costs

11.3.1 Land and Structure Cost Compensation for loss of private land and structures has already been considered in capital cost of DPR prepared by SMC.

11.3.2 R&R Benefit Costs The budget for this project is based on data and information collected during census

and socio-economic surveys conducted in July, August, September 2019 and February

2020 and the unit rates are provisional sums. R&R benefits are proposed to be provided in addition to compensation (as per 11.3.1 above). The cost for

implementation of Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan is given in Table 11.1.The total

cost for R&R implementation plan is INR 4718.20 lakh.

11.4 Source of Funding and Fund Flow

Government of Gujarat, executing agency for SMRP, will provide adequate funds for

compensation for land and structure cost and for the cost of resettlement assistance

and RAP implementation including livelihood restoration plan, stakeholder engagement

plan, gender action plan. The executing agency will ensure timely availability of funds

for smooth implementation of the RAP.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 12: RAP Implementation Schedule


12 RAP Implementation Schedule 12.1 Background

Planning, surveying, assessing, policy development, institutional identification,

PAFs/PAPs participation, establishment of GRC, income restoration plan (IRP) and

implementation are typical activities of RAP. While these activities have discrete

components that can be put on a time line, there is a close inter relationship of each

activity to the whole implementation. The breakdown of each activity according to a

specific time frame has been provided in the Implementation Schedule. It is further

cautioned that specific situation may require an increase in time, allotted to a task. Such

situations may be caused due to many factors such as local opposition, seasonal factors,

social and economic concerns, training of support staff and financial constraints. Implementation schedule will require detailed coordination between the project

authorities and various line departments. Implementation plan has been spread over a

period of two and half years. A simplified summary of the operational aspects of the implementation plan will be prepared when the project starts. However, the sequence

may change as delays occur due to circumstances beyond the control of the project.

12.2 Implementation Procedure

The implementation of RAP will consist of four major stages:

1. Identification of Cut-off Date (CoD) and notification for land acquisition as per

Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation

and Resettlement Act, 2013(thereafter land will be purchased).For non-

titleholders the cut-off date for proposed project shall be from the completion of

Census and assets inventory of persons affected by the project.

2. Verification of properties of PAFs/PAPs and estimation of their type and level of

losses.

3. Preparation of list of PAFs/PAPs for relocation/rehabilitation.

4. Information on acquisition/relocation/assistance to PAPs and their rights

5. Relocation and rehabilitation of the PAPs.

6. Monitoring and Social assistance including readjustment



12.3 Timing of Resettlement The resettlement process must be completed by the start of civil works on the

particular corridor. Requisite procedure will be developed by the IA to carry out

resettlement of PAPs located within Corridor of Impact (CoI), before the civil work starts

on any section of the project. All activities related to the land acquisition and

resettlement shall be planned to ensure that 100% compensation is paid prior to

displacement and the affected people will be given at least four months of notice to

vacate their property before civil work begins. Stretches which are free of

encroachment and other encumbrances will be handed over first to the contractor.

12.4 Implementation Schedule The period for implementation of RAP has been taken as approximately two and half

years. However, monitoring and evaluation will continue beyond the period of implementation. The R&R activities of proposed project are divided in to three broad

categories based on the stages of work and process of implementation. The details of

activities involved in these three phases are project preparation phase, RAP implementation phase and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) phase.

12.4.1 Project Preparatory Stage (Pre-Implementation Stage) Setting up relevant institutions for the resettlement activities will be the major task

during the preparatory stage which is pre implementation phase. The major activities to be performed in this period include establishment of SMU and additionally, the GRC

needs to be appointed at this stage.

12.4.2 RAP Implementation Stage The RAP at this stage needs to be approved and will be disclosed to the PAPs. Upon the

approval of RAP, all the arrangements for fixing the compensation and the

disbursement needs to be done which includes payment of all eligible assistance;

relocation of PAPs; initiation of economic rehabilitation measures; site preparation for

delivering the site to contractors for construction and finally commencement of the civil

work. Internal monitoring will be the responsibility of IA which will start in early stage of

the project when implementation of RAP starts and will continue till the completion of the implementation of RAP. IA will be responsible for carrying out the monitoring on

half yearly basis.



12.4.3 RAP Implementation Schedule RAP implementation schedule for R&R activities in the proposed project including

various sub tasks and time line matching with civil work schedule is prepared and

presented in Table 12.1.

Social Impact Assessment for Surat Metro Rail Project (Phase-I) Final Report Chapter 13: Monitoring and Evaluation


13 Monitoring and Evaluation

13.1 Background

Monitoring & Evaluation are critical activities in involuntary resettlement. Monitoring

involves periodic checking to ascertain whether activities are progressing as per

schedule while evaluation is essentially to assess the performance of PAPs at the end of

the project. For this purpose, a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) program is required to

be developed to provide feedback to project management which will help keep the

programs on schedule and make them successful. Monitoring and Evaluation of R&R

gives an opportunity to the implementation and the funding agency to reflect broadly

on the success of the basic R&R objectives, strategies and approaches. However, the objective of conducting M&E is to assess the efficiency and efficacy in implementation

R&R activities, impact and sustainability, drawing lesions as a guide to future

resettlement planning.

Monitoring will give particular attention to the project affected vulnerable groups such

as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, BPL households, women headed households,

widows, old aged and the disabled. RAP implementation will be monitored both internally and externally. GMRCL will be responsible for internal monitoring through

their field level officers of Social Management Unit and will prepare quarterly reports

on the progress of RAP implementation. An Independent Evaluation Agency may be hired by GMRCL for mid and end term evaluation of RAP implementation.

13.2 Internal Monitoring The internal monitoring for RAP implementation will be carried out by GMRCL. The

main objectives of internal monitoring are to:

• measure and report progress against the RAP schedule;

• verify that agreed entitlements are delivered in full to affected people;

• identify any problems, issues or cases of hardship resulting from the

resettlement process, and to develop appropriate corrective actions, or where

problems are systemic refer them to the management team;

• monitor the effectiveness of the grievance system



• periodically measure the satisfaction of project affected people.

Internal monitoring will focus on measuring progress against the schedule of actions

defined in the RAP. Activities to be undertaken by the GMRCL will include:

• Liaison with the Land Acquisition team, construction contractor and project

affected communities to review and report progress against the RAP;

• Verification of land acquisition and compensation entitlements are being

delivered in accordance with the RAP;

• Verification of agreed measures to restore or enhance living standards are being

implemented;

• Verification of agreed measures to restore or enhance livelihood are being

implemented;

• Identification of any problems, issues, or cases of hardship resulting from resettlement process;

• Through household interviews, assess project affected peoples’ satisfaction with resettlement outcomes;

• Collection of records of grievances, follow up that appropriate corrective actions have been undertaken and that outcomes are satisfactory;

Monitoring is a continuous process and will be carried out by field level officers of Social

Management Unit on regular basis to keep track of the R&R progress. For this purpose, the indicators suggested have been given in Table 13.1.

Socio-economic survey and the land acquisition data provide the necessary benchmark

for field level monitoring. A format for monitoring of RAP implementation is presented

in Annexure 13.1.

13.3 Independent Evaluation As mentioned earlier, an Independent Evaluation Agency (IEA) will be hired by GMRCL

for mid and end term evaluation. A detailed Terms of Reference for IEA is presented in

Annexure 13.2.The external evaluation will be carried out to achieve the following:

Verify results of internal monitoring, Assess whether resettlement objectives have been met, specifically, whether

livelihoods and living standards have been restored or enhanced,



Assess resettlement efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability, drawing lesions as a guide to future resettlement policy making and planning, and

Ascertain whether the resettlement entitlements were appropriate to meeting the objectives, and whether the objectives were suited to affected persons’ conditions,

This comparison of living standards will be in relation to the baseline information available in the BSES. If some baseline information is not available then such information should be collected on recall basis during the evaluation.

The following should be considered as the basis for indicators in monitoring and

evaluation of the project. The list of impact performance indicators suggested to

monitor project objectives is delineated in Table 13.2. Table 13:2 INDICATORS FOR PROJECT OUTCOME EVALUATION

Annexure 6:

Rationale for paying rental and loss of business allowance:

As per RFCTLARR Act 2013 and numerous Government of Gujarat amendments / GR’s, compensation to be given to titleholders and non-titleholders in various scenarios of permanent acquisition is outlined in R&R policy and entitlement matrix. However, from practical experiences during implementation of Ahmedabad Metro Phase I, it has been seen that a transitional category of sorts gets generated. Land for Land compensation option is also offered to the PAFs of GMRCL where in the PAF can choose land at an alternate location. The PAF can also choose structure for structure option where in the PAF is allotted an alternate house/shop. By experience, these procedures are lengthy. In many cases, the land of PAF is required on urgent basis for construction however; the alternate house/shop/land parcel cannot be allotted to the PAF immediately due to numerous obstacles. In few of such case, GMRCL is required to shift the PAF at an intermediate temporary rental arrangement until the final house/shop/land parcel can be allotted so that construction can proceed. In such cases, the expense of rent arises which needs to be borne by GMRCL.

The process of calculating rent for residential / commercial PAF can be same. However, in case of Commercial PAFs, the temporary shifting directly affects their livelihood as their source of income gets disrupted. Thus until they are handed over their permanent premises of compensation, loss of business needs to be paid. Presently, there is no provision of loss of business in the old entitlement matrix or R&R policy.
