EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

E.l INTRODUCTION

The state of Rajasthan has good potential for growth in agriculture and agro-based industries,

mining, minerals processing, tourism, handicrafts and cottage industries. The Govt. of

Rajasthan, having realized the worth of development of road infrastructure has decided for

development of the roads through Public Works Department. Assistance from the World

Bank has been sought for preparing and implementing the Rajasthan Road Sector

Modernization Project (RRSMP). The Government has also taken a policy decision of

developing State Highway - 2 through World Bank funding

E.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND

SH-2 connects Dausa to Kuchaman via Lawan, Tunga, Phagi, Dudu, Sambhar, Nawan, Palari,

and Kuchaman. Total length ofSH-2 is 210 Km.

Dausa to Dudu (SH-2) has been selected as one of such highway to be developed. This

Section of SH-2 is traverses through two districts viz., Dausa & Jaipur and 28 villages

(Dausa District - 3, & Jaipur District - 25) providing road connectivity to between NH-

11A, NH-11 & NH-8. Its development is essential to ease traffic load in Jaipur and also to

improve driving between Agra - Ajmer, Udaipur & Gujarat.

PROJECT ROAD

The carriageway width is single I intermediate lane. The existing carriage way width is

varying from 3.0 to 7.0 m. The existing Right of Way (RoW) varies from 14 to 36m. In some

built up area, it also has two lane sections. Minimum 14 m ROW is available all along the

alignment. No land acquisition is involved in the Project. Some encroachments will be got

cleared. Encroachers I squatters will be compensated as per NRRP 2007. No displacement I

Resettlements are required.

E.3 SOCIO ECONOMIC PROFILE

Dausa is surrounded with 6 districts, namely, Jaipur, Tonk, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli,

_ Bharatpur & Alwar. The district 1s divided into five Tehsil, Baswa,

Dausa, Lalsot, Mahwa and Sikrai. The Sawa and Ban Ganga rivers run through the district. It

has total area of 3404.78 sq. kms. It is situated on National Highway no.11 From Jaipur to


Agra. It is 55 km to the east of Jaipur. In 2011, Dausa had population of 1,634,409 of, which

and female were 857,787 and 776,622 respectively. In 2001 census, Dausa had a

population of 1,317,063 ot~ which males were 693 8 and remaining 623 were females.

According to the 2011 census Jaipur district has a population of 6, 663, 97 this gives it a

ranking of 1Oth in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 598

inhabitants per square kilometer (1 ,550 /sq mi). Its population growth rate over the decade

2001-2011 was 26.91%. Jaipur has a sex ratio of 909 females for every 1000 males and a

literacy rate of 76.44%. Jaipur is an extremely popular tourist destination in

Rajasthan and India

E.4 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Alternative alignments and proposed improvement plan is drawn to curb the adverse impacts

on people and land. It is designed to minimize accidents, speed limits, reduce travel time,

bring economic boom etc. The plans have worked out to benefit the most to the users and the

affected people due to the project stretch.

The improvement works will consist mainly m rmsmg the formation level,

upgrading/improvement of road geometries, widening to two-lane/ intermediate-lane from the

existing, intermediate-lane or single-lane width and pavement strengthening, improving the

cross drainage. Road stretches crossing urban areas may also require upgrading to a two-lane

cross section, and/or provision for drains, sidewalks and parking where required. In some

cases, new alignments (by-passes) and/or realignments are required.

Bypass at Dausa starting at NHll to NH11A of 10 km length is proposed for this project road.

Sharp curves, where many accidents are occurring, are being improved. Both Horizontal and

vertical road geometry of the alignment is not poor, but condition of pavement is very bad with

design speed compliance of only 30 km/hr. Based on the detailed study different options were

evolved, out of which a best option as follows is finalized after discussions with PWD officers

at Jaipur.


E.S PUBLIC INFORMATION AND CONSULTATIONS

Public information and consultation were carried out to aware affected people about the

proposed project and its anticipated benefits, adverse impacts and mitigation measures. For

the present project two tier public consultations at local level and district level were

conducted in villages and district head quitters. In the first stage information about the project

was disseminated to the local people and m the second stage their

views/grievances/suggestions were solicited. Stakeholder's suggestions have been

incorporated in the design of road alignment and shall be further implemented during

construction and post construction phases.

E.6 PROJECT IMPACT

Census Survey and Socio Economic exercise was carried out within the proposed RoW to

identify the affected structures. The task included collection of details of the owner or

occupant of the structure, its type and usage corning within Col on either side of the existing

center line. To collect this information a well-designed and pre-tested questionnaire was used.

The study was carried out with a participatory approach by involving the stakeholders,

particularly the project beneficiaries and probable affected persons through a series of

consultative process techniques. The population groups that were consulted include

beneficiary group of people in the project influence area, particularly the shopkeepers,

farmers, transport operators, school teachers, Gram Panchayat Sarpanch /members, village

elders, the local youth and the Govt. officials who are involved in rural and women

development programs and employment generation schemes. Care was taken to form

participatory consultative groups as homogenous as possible.

In present proposed project no land acquisition is required. Due to land clearing of existing

RoW some structures will be partially affected. It includes agriculture land, residential,

commercial, community assets etc. A Resettlement Action Plan has been formulated with

adequate implementation strategy to ward off the negative impacts and simultaneously

elevating the living standard of the PAPs at par or even better than the pre project standards.

The summary of impacts is given in Table E.l.

E. 7 R&R PRINCIPALS, POLICY FRAME WORK & ENTITLEMENT MATRIX

It is imperative to analyze the acts and bylaws to understand the legalities and procedures in

implementing project and identifying the gaps and area, where there is a need for

strengthening 'to comply with World Bank policy on resettlement and rehabilitation of project

affected persons and indigenous population development plan. The preparation of a separate

resettlement and rehabilitation policy is supplemented to the existing laws in addressing

various social and resettlement issues arising out of project implementation. Applicable acts,

notifications and policies relevant in the context of the project are discussed below. The

Project Authority PWD will ensure that project activities implemented are consistent with the

national, state, local regulatory/legal framework.

Land required for the project shall be acquired as per the provisions of this act. Provides limited benefits to affected family (an ex-gratia payment of not less than Rs. 20,000/- and in case land-holder becoming landless or small or marginal farmer in such cases other rehabilitation benefits as applicable. The project entails land acquisition though, at a low scale for widening, realignments, junction improvements, bypasses etc. It would also adversely affect structures used for various purposes, livelihood of people (mainly earning their livelihood by means of petty shops and providing various services). Many of them have been operating from the government land. Thus both title holders and non-title holders alike would be affected as a consequence of the project. It has been found that Indigenous/ Tribal people would also be affected in some of the sub-projects whereas in some other subprojects though tribal people would not be directly affected but are within the immediate influence zone of the sub-projects. The Act provides for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

In case where a State Government through any Act or Gazette Notification or as approved by

any authority of State Government (duly authorized for the purpose) as per their approved

procedure has fixed a rate for compensation of land and structures is higher than the

provisions under the project, the same may be adopted by the Competent Authority in

determining the compensation for structures.

E.8 GENDER ISSUE & WOMENS PARTICIPATION

In the proposed project no women headed households are affected by the project,


For the cause of compensation and assistance to be provided to these types of households,

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

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

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

The changes caused by relocation tend not to have equal implications for members of both

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

systems, reduction in assets like land and livestock, women and marginalized vulnerable

groups may have to face additional challenge of running a household on limited income and

resources

It is imperative to bring the issue of women's development in the process of socio-economic

uplift within the scope of the RAP for the project. For this a conscious effort should be made

towards integrating the issue in the project.

E.9 INSTITUTIONAL FRAME WORK FOR RAP IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT

Suitable institutional arrangements are made to manage and implement Resettlement Action

Plan. The institutional arrangements will be set up at three levels viz., Central, State and Sub

Project Level.

At Central Level, the Chief Engineer (EAP), MaRTH, Govt. of India will be overall

responsible for the implementation of RPF. CE (EAP) will have all delegated administrative

and financial decisions with regard to implementation of the project as well as land acquisition,

RAP including TDP implementation.

At State Level, a Land Acquisition cum Social Development Officer (LA cum SDO) would be

appointed in the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) headed by Nodal Officer. Additional

sociologist as individual consultant will also be engaged to assist LA cum SDO in states as

required, particularly in states with larger share of sub projects.

A Project Implementation Unit (PIU) comprising officials of State PWD will be constituted at

sub-project level headed by the Superintending Engineer/ Executive Engineer designated as

Project Director.


The implementation agency will work in close co-ordination with RRO and report to PIU.

Financial matters related to services of the RAP implementation agency will be dealt by

Project Authority.

E.lO DISCLOSURE AND CONSULTATION PLAN

The Right to Information Act (RTI), 2005 provide for setting out the practical regime of RTI

for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to

promote transparency and accountability. Feedback if any would be incorporated into the

final RAP document. The list of PAPs for disbursement of benefits shall be separately

disclosed at the concerned Panchayat Offices/ Urban Local Bodies, District Collector Offices,

Block Development Offices, District Public Relations Offices (at the state and district levels),

Project office, and any other relevant offices, etc.

In consultation plan to ensure peoples' continued participation in the implementation phase

and aiming at promotion of public understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental

problems such as local needs of road users, problem and prospects of resettlement, various

sections of PAPs and other stakeholders will be engaged in implementation.

During consultations the RAP IA personnel will explain the process of SCHM in detail.

Several communication channels viz., toll free phone number, dedicated email, mechanism

for on line submission of suggestions/complaints/inquiries, provision of suggestion/complaint

box (at site and project office), post and other suitable means shall be set up for suggestion

and complaint handling.

E.ll MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E)

The overall purpose of the monitoring is to keep track of the implementation processes and

progress, achievement of performance targets fixed in the annual work plans, learning lessons

and taking corrective actions to deal with emerging constraints and issues.

The evaluation study will focus on assessing whether the overall objectives of the project are

being met and will use the defined impact indicators as a basis for evaluation.


Reports on the progress of RAP implementation including mobilization of staff members,

opening of site offices, etc of the project would be prepared by NGO and submitted to the

R<%R officer at sub-project level. Monthly Progress Report shall be prepared NGO, Quarterly

Progress Reports shall be prepared by Social Officer of State Project Implementation Unit

(SPIU), and six monthly progress reports shall be prepared by M&E agency. Evaluation

Report shall be prepared by the M&E agency at the end of the project implementation as part

of the project completion report.

E.12 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT AND SCHEDULE

Experienced and well-qualified NGO in this field will be engaged to assist the M/ORT &H in

the implementation of the RAP. The NGO will work as a link between the PIU - R&R Cell

and the affected community. NGO will educate the PAPs on the need to implement the

Project, R&R measures and ensures proper utilization of various compensations extended to

the PAPs under the R&R entitlement package.

E.13 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MACHANISM

Any disputes or grievances will be addressed through the grievance redressal mechanism

proposed here. The GRCs are expected to resolve the grievances of the eligible persons

within a stipulated time. The decision of the GRCs is binding, unless vacated by court of law.

The GRC will comprise of five members headed by a retired Magistrate not below the rank of

SDM. Other members of the GRC will include a retired PWD Officer (not below the rank of

Executive Engineer), RRO, representative of PAPs and Sarpanch (Elected Head ofVillage) of

the concerned village. Grievances of EPs in writing will be brought to GRC for redressal by

the RAP implementation agency. The RAP implementation agency will provide all necessary

help to PAPs in presenting his/her case before the GRC. The GRC will respond to the

grievance within 15 days. The GRC will normally meet once in a month but may meet more

frequently, if the situation so demands. A time period of 45 days will be available for

redressing the grievance of EPs. The decision of the GRC will not be binding to EPs. This

means the decision of the GRC does not debar EPs taking recourse to court of law, if he/she

, so desires.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION

1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The road transport of India carries 70% of freight and 85% passenger of total traffic annually.

National Highways constitute only 2% of the road network but carry 40% of total road traffic.

Numbers of vehicles have been growing at an average rate of 10.9 % per annum over the last

five years, making State and national highways congested.

Hence, it is necessary to enhance a good road network facility which will provide more

economical, safe and environment friendly movement of passenger and goods vehicles to

access jobs, health services, and education centers and transport the goods. Good roads would

improve socio-economic, industrial, and agriculture activities and help in economical growth of

nation

Road projects are generally undertaken to improve the economic and social welfare of the

society to whom it provides good connectivity. Augmented road capacity and improved

pavements can reduce travel time and costs for both freight and passengers. Benefits include

increased access to markets, Jobs, educational centers and health services. For all the positive

aspects of road projects, they may also bring significant negative impacts on nearby

communities and the natural environment. People and properties may be in the direct path of

development works and can be affected in a major way. Therefore a preliminary impact of the

project is assessed and reported.

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Though the state has good potential for growth in agriculture and agro-based industries, mining,

minerals processing, tourism, handicrafts and cottage industries, it is one of the low income

states lagging in many key socio-economic indicators. The potential is underutilized due to

inadequate road infrastructure and market linkages. The need for high quality road

infrastructure is recognized to exploit the state's potential. The Govt. of Rajasthan, having

realized the worth of development of road infrastructure has decided for development of the

roads through Public Works Department. Assistance from the World Bank has been sought for

preparing and implementing the Rajasthan Road Sector Modernization Project (RRSMP).

Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of SH-02 (Dausa- Chaksu - Phagi- Dudu including Dausa bypass- 140km) SIA and RAP Report

The project objective is to assist the Public Works Department, Rajasthan to improve the

quality, connectivity, and management of its road network. RRSMP has been formulated and

designed:

(i) To reflect the integrated and donor coordinated approach to the road development and

management with particular emphasis on the comprehensive framework.

(ii) To upgrade connectivity of villages with high potential for poverty reduction in

agriculture by linking them with markets in urban areas and peripheral cities.

(iii) It is planned for providing all weather good road connectivity to unconnected villages

having population of250 to 499 in general areas as per census of2001.

(iv) The program extends beyond road conditions to a variety of road safety measures,

improved environmental practices, institutional strengthening, better reporting and

information systems, etc.

The project seeks to:

(i) Increase the proportion of road network in good and fair condition; (ii) Increase all-weather road connectivity of habitations;

(iii) Improve management as measured by savings in asset value,

(iv) Increase in road safety ratings of key traffic corridors.

(v) To improve PWD's institutional structure, staff capacities and business processes including those for procurement, environment and social management, monitoring and controls.

This would help PWD to:

(a) Enhance both the quality of delivery and value for money of sector investments,

facilitating GOR's efforts to provide road connectivity to about 72,000 small habitations at

lower costs by leveraging MNERGA funds and strengthening the partnership between PWD

and local governments I communities;

(b) Sustain its road assets build under various programs and avoid the estimated losses of

about INR 25 billion in road asset value and realize the vehicle cost savings of about INR 17

billion per annum;

The Government of Rajasthan has taken up a massive program of up-gradation and

development of existing single/two-lane State Highways. These highways would provide high

speed connectivity to other National Highways and cities.

The Government has also taken a policy decision of developing State Highway no 2 through

World Bank funding.


SH-2 connects Dausa to Kuchaman via Lawan, Tunga, Phagi, Dudu, Sambhar, Nawan, Palari,

and Kuchaman. Total length of SH-2 is 210 Km. Dausa to Dudu (SH-2) has been selected as

one of such highway to be developed.

The present project is for Dausa by-pass 10 km & Dausa- Chaksu- Phagi- Dudu 130 km length.

This report covers the Environment Impact Assessment & Environment Management Plan

work for proposed project.

1.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT

This Section of SH-2 is traverses through two districts viz., Dausa & Jaipur and 28 villages

(Dausa District - 3 Nos., & Jaipur District - 25 Nos.) providing road connectivity to

between NH-11 A, NH-11 & NH-8. Its development is essential to ease traffic load in Jaipur

and also to improve driving between Agra- Ajmer, Udaipur & Gujarat. The link is crucial from

tourist point of view.

1.4 EXPECTED BENEFITS FROM THE SUB-PROJECT.

The project envisages the following advantages:

• Reduced maintenance costs and savings in vehicle operating costs

• Improve the condition of existing traffic flow by removing all bottlenecks at various

locations and junctions

• Improved accessibility of the existing highway.

• Improve and strengthen the existing quality of the pavement to take heavy

loads so that pavement failure, maintenance etc. are minimized.

• Increase the carrying capacity of the existing traffic volume and enable it to cater to

the future traffic.

• Improve the horizontal and vertical alignment of the existing road.

1.4.3 OBJECT OF THE PROJECT

The objective the project is to provide better connectivity of various existing National

Highways in the country and thereby help induce socio-economic development in the project

area. Improvements of these selected national highways would improve connectivity, facilitate

speedy and smooth transportation of bulk goods with less interruption at a lesser transport cost

and in less time, induce economic development of existing growth centers, provide impetus for

the development of new growth centers, employment generation and as a consequence poverty

alleviation in the project areas.

The existing road has more or less straight alignment except some locations, where geometric

Corrections /improvements would be required.

The project road traverses through plain area from the starting point to the end point. Land use

pattern abutting the project road is predominantly agricultural and barren. Built-up locations

comprise residential and commercial structures. Overall the land use pattern along the road is

agriculture. The main crops are wheat, Jowar, Bajara, Rice, Oil seeds etc. The business

establishment includes petty shops, grocery shops, vegetable shops, hotels, dhabas, tea stalls,

petrol pumps, automobile work-shops etc. There are no industrial establishments along the

project road

Pavement condition is fair to very poor. At many places existing BT surfaces are completely

denuded. Cross drainage are not adequate along the project road.

1.6 IDENTIFICATION OF VILLAGES AND TOWNS

As part of project preparation, social screening survey was conducted ofthe project road. There

are many settlements including a few towns along the project road section, namely Dausa,

Chaksu and Dudu. 28 villages are identified along the project corridor. Details of these villages

are covered under socio-economic profiling of the area. List of villages and towns likely to be

impacted by the proposed upgrading is provided in Table 1.5. These villages and towns are

falling within the direct impact zone of the project road.

1.7 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

The social assessment process generally begins with screening at the time of project

identification, where steps are taken from the beginning and plans\ designs\ alignments are

finalized in such a way that to the extent possible adverse impacts are avoided at the designing

stage itself and make these roads people friendly.

The steps

• Predicts the nature and size of potential negative and positive effects on individuals,

businesses and communities;

• Develop and implement appropriate recommendations and impact management measures to

avoid or decease negative socio-economic impacts and enhance positive impacts;

• Identifies net social and economic impacts occurring after mitigation measures are applied,

including roadway routing, design and operating conditions; and

• Helps resolve public issues by working with the community to address the potential

impacts.

• A voiding the adverse social impact at the designing stage especially while finalizing the

alignments


The overall objective of conducting social screening is to provide input of social concerns to

be dovetailed in highway design and for complete co-ordination between the engmeermg,

environmental and social teams during the entire design process.

• Assess opportunities, constraints, likely impacts and risks arising out of the social

context

• Identify I re-examine intended social development outcomes of the project

• Consider design implications and recommend relevant policy and institutional

arrangements for the project

• Identify indicators to monitor Social development outcomes and report on the M&E

plan

1.7.1 Need and Scope of the Social Assessment

In order to prepare SMP (Social Management Plan), there is a need to have a detailed social

assessment of the project including an assessment of the impacts (both positive and negative)

resulting from the proposed project interventions? The activities undertaken as part of this

assessment include:

• Identification of stakeholders • Identification of impacts • Involvement of people in the assessment process • Consultation with the stakeholders to improve quality of participatory planning

• Identification of social hot spots

• Identification of mitigation measures to minimize resettlement Issues Census survey of project affected persons

• Identification of vulnerable affected groups

• Based on the social assessment and impact analysis, stakeholders' consultation and R&R policy framework, a detailed Social Management Plan has been prepared.

1.7.2 Project Benefits

Rajasthan is one of the most progressive states of India. The contribution of tertiary sector

towards the State's economy has been on rise over the past decade. Government has taken step

towards better fiscal and economic management, accelerating economic growth and improving 2

quality of life with its vision 2020 . Improving infrastructure especially transport sector, to

facilitate agricultural and industrial growth is key to achieving goals of Vision 2020. The State

Road Policy also aims at providing an efficient, safe and environmentally sustainable road

Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of SH-02 (Dausa- Chaksu- Phagi- Dudu includingDausa bypass- 140km) SIA and RAP Report

network in the State. But there are serious financial constraints on the development and

maintenance of the state core road network and this is reflected in the budget allocation which

reveals huge gap between actual needs and resources available for capital and maintenance

provision. The. proposed project will have the following direct benefits:

• Improved quality of life for the population in the project area: The proposed project will

provide easy access to important towns like Dausa, Chaksu, Phagi and Dudu. These towns

provide services to villages abutting the project road. Improvement of road will also provide

improved medical and education facilities to rural population.

• Economic boost to the local population by easy transportation of materials: Agriculture and

forest based economic activities are in the vicinity of the project road.

• Better connectivity for the smaller settlements to the District Headquarter. This road will

provide connectivity to even smaller and inaccessible villages. This ensures enhanced

administrative services to villages abutting the road

• Connectivity to the industry and vast agricultural hinterland: The agricultural hinterland and

industries will be linked because of proposed road improvement

• Increased employment opportunities for the local population: In addition to employment

opportunities during construction phase, it is expected that after road construction there will be

change in land use (especially along the road stretch) and more commercial establishments

(shops, Dhaba I restaurants I eating places, small workshop serving the vehicles moving on the

road etc). These activities will provide additional employment and increased wages in the

project area.

2.2.3 STATE INCOME: Net State Domestic Product (NSDP)

One of the redeeming features of the state's economy is healthy economic growth since 1980. The

growth in real GSDP is among the highest in large Indian states during 1980-97. The long- term

trend rate of growth during 1980-2006 is estimated at little below 6 per cent2. The trend growth

rate during decades ending 1991 and 2001 is estimated at 6.5 per cent and 6.1 per cent respectively.

It has marginally slowed down to 5.1 per cent during 2000-06.


2.2.4 State Domestic Product

The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is the total monetary value of all the final goods and

services produced by an economy during a given period of time (generally a year) accounted

without duplication. The year-wise estimates of Gross & Net State and per capita Income from the

year 2008-09 at current prices are given below in Figure

The advance estimates of Gross State Domestic Product at current prices is estimated to be '

4, 78,160 Crore for the year 2012-13 as compared to' 4, 16,755 Crore during the year 2011-12

(quick estimates), showing an increase of 14.73 per cent over the previous year. As per the

advance estimates, Gross State Domestic Product at constant (2004-05) prices, in the year

2012-13 is likely to attain a level of' 2, 39,913 Crore, as against the estimates of GSDP for the

year 2011-12 (quick estimates) of' 2, 27,824 Crore, registering an increase of 5.31 per cent

over the preceding year.

2.2.5 State Economic Structure

The Rajasthan economy has shown a healthy growth path during the recent years. GSDP (at

current prices) has almost doubled from Rs1, 17,274 crore in FY05 to Rs3, 03,358 Crore in

FY11. This has made Rajasthan one of India's faster growing states with the average growth

rate of around 7.43% (real GSDP) during FY05-FY11

The services sector contributes around 47% in GSDP followed by the industry and agriculture

sectors at 27% and 26% respectively. Over the last ten year period (FY01-10) the share to the


GSDP has changed from 27% to 26%, from 28% to 27% and 45% to 4 7% in the agriculture,

industry and services sectors respectively

2.3.2 JAIPUR DISTRICT PROFILE

Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the Rajasthan state . It was founded on 18 November

1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, after whom the city has been named.

The city today has a population of 3.1 million. J aipur is known as the Pink City of India. The

city is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the width and regularity of its streets,

which are laid out into six sectors separated by broad streets 34m (Ill ft) wide. The urban

quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five quarters wrap around the east,

south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east.

The Palace quarter encloses the sprawling Hawa Mahal palace complex, formal gardens, and a

small lake. Nahargarh Fort was the residence of the King Sawai Jai Singh II. It crowns the hill

in the northwest corner of old city. The observatory, Jantar Mantar, is one of the World


Heritage Sites. Jaipur is included on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi

and Agra. In Figure 2.2 shows the Jaipur district Map

2.4 PROJECT IMP ACT ZONE

The road users and affected population due to the project road are mainly the persons, who use

the existing road or the proposed alignment for their daily needs. The impact analysis was

carried out in detail for the households falling within PROW and indirect impact was also

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

2.4.1 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILES

The majority of the potentially affected I benefited persons living in the project influence zone

frequently travel down to the existing roads or proposed alignment of the project. Their purpose

of visit brings them generally to the prominent market places by the roadside or transport

boarding points alongside the road. Other beneficiaries also pass through the important

junctions of the feeder roads connecting the project roads I proposed alignment. These junction

points served as the clusters from, where surveyed households and FGD meetings were

selected. Besides, administrative offices, places of worship, community structures, such as

Anganwadi centers, in the major settlements within the project impact zone were also taken

into considerations for holding consultations.


Direct impact will involve the habitations along the existing project road and indirect impact

habitations will involve those within 1.0 km of the project road on either side. GOI, GOR

regulations and World Bank policy require impact assessment during the design stage to avoid,

reduce or mitigate potential negative impacts of project and enhance positive impacts,

sustainability and development benefits. For generating the widening options for the project

road the baseline data within 30 m corridor is collected. The socio- economic statistics of the

study area villages is given.

2.5 EXISTING PUBLIC AMENITIES

Public amenities are those basic services utilized away from the individual residential dwelling

unit within the public environment. Presence of basic infrastructure facilities is found in the

project districts. They satisfy specific individual or community needs including safety and

security, communication, recreation, sport, education, health, public administration, religious.

Public amenities are generally the responsibility of government or the local authorities of the

area. Accessibility of basics infrastructure is an important factor from the social development

context. Improvement of project road will increase access to public facilities like higher level

schools, colleges, health services (CHCs, PHCs), government offices, etc.

2.5.1 EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

Majority of villages have primary schools and Aganwaris, which is located mostly within the

villages or nearby areas. Middle and high school level educational facilities are available within

accessible distance from the villages. The girls are encouraged to study at least up to high school

level. The girl students turn out is very encouraging with almost 90 per cent girls of school age

attend their school. The higher education especially of girls gets affected due to distances of the

higher secondary schools and lack availability of transport facility. The students usually walk or

ride cycle to reach schools.

2.5.2 HEALTH CARE SERVICE

There are many primary health centers & Govt. hospitals in the project area. The distance of the

Govt. health care centers is within 5 to 10 km periphery. The people generally are attended by

doctors at local primary health centers, if necessary they visit district head quarters. The

common mode of transport to a health centre or hospital is auto rickshaw or zeeps I bus.


Average travel time to these health care centers varies from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, while

average cost of one trip journey is Rs. 50. People depend on these only without consulting

private practitioners or nursing homes, mainly because treatment at non-governmental health

care centers is expensive.

On 1st April, 2008 Ministry of Labor and Employment, Govt. of India launched Rashtriya

Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) to provide health insurance coverage for BPL families in order

to protect them from financial liabilities arising out of health issues necessitating hospitalization.

The beneficiaries are entitled to hospitalization coverage up to Rs.30, 000. The coverage extends

up to five members of the family and the beneficiaries need to pay Rs. 30 only as registration

fee. It is expected that the proposed project will improve access to the health care facilities for

the poor families.

2.5.3 MARKETING FACILITY

There are markets with both wholesale and retail facilities in the project area. About 60% of the

sample population of the villages can avail the facility of whole sale markets within a distance of

10 km, while rest of the population have to travel up to 25 km to get such facility. The people

mainly sell their agricultural products at these markets and normally sell at farm gate prices

since these rural markets do not provide competitive prices for the farmers. The round trip cost

of journey to the markets is around Rs 25 - Rs 30. The travel time varies from 30 minutes

during dry season to more than an hour in rainy season, when cost of travel too increases as

people have to go by auto rickshaw I zeeps I buses.

2.5.4 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK SERVICE

Community Development Blocks (CD Block) have been established as part of development plan

of Govt. of India in order to provide assistance, subsidies, agricultural inputs and expertise and

extension service to the rural people for all round development of an area within jurisdiction of a

CD Block. All the concerned villages are within a distance of 10 km of their respective CD

Blocks. Average travel time is about half an hour with cost of round trip journey varying from

Rs.15 to Rs. 20. The people avail of facilities that include, information on various Govt.

sponsored schemes like, NREGAS, low cost housing grant, grant for sanitary toilet, free or

subsidized agricultural inputs etc


CHAPTER3

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES & PROPOSED

IMPROVEMENT PLAN

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Infrastructure projects not only bring the prosperity to the region but also leave behind

number of adverse impact on the society. Such adverse impacts include loss ofproperty, loss

of livelihood, loss of community property and dividing the community. If such negative

impacts are not addressed properly, it may happen that the negative impacts would

outweighs the project positive impacts, thus putting question mark on project sustainability.

World Bank Policy and the National Policy on Resettlement & Rehabilitation have rightly

acknowledged the seriousness of the issue and advocates for minimizing negative impact by

every possible method and option. The spirit of these policies has been followed while

preparing the project.

3.2 CORRIDOR OF IMP ACT (Col)

In context of present project improvement of SH-2 from single lane to 2 lanes with hard

shoulders configuration, the corridor of impact is the proposed right of way, i.e. properties

outside the corridor of impact, will not get affected.

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

development impacts of planned highway improvements and mediate project results.

Through public participation key social issues were identified and strategy was formulated. It

also included cultural analysis and design of social strategy, institutional analysis and

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

project.

Experience indicates that involuntary resettlement generally gives rise to severe problems for

the affected population. These problems may be reduced if, as a part ofRAP implementation,

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

preferences to make meaningful choices. These practices serves to reduce the insecurity and

opposition to the project which otherwise are likely to occur.

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

Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of SH-02 (Dausa- Chaksu- Phagi- Dudu including Dausa bypass-140km) SIA and RAP Report

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

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

of project results and impacts.

The public consultations were organized at two stages, i.e. at the feasibility stage and at the

final round of consultations at the DPR stage. The feasibility stage public consultations

focused mainly on the mapping of the social issues related to the project stretch and were

targeted to understand the concerns and aspirations of the people from the road project. The

second round of public consultations were primarily centered on sharing of the proposed

development plan and the broad R&R policy framework with the PAPs to get their views on

the development proposals and the issues related to resettlement and rehabilitation.

In addition to the consultations with the PAPs, interactions and consultations were held with

other stakeholders especially the Gram Pardhan, PWD officials and district administration to

elicit their views and mobilize support for the implementation phase. The consultations with

the officials of district administration including land revenue conducted under the

Chairmanship of District Magistrate/ Block Development officer helped in getting assurance

from them in terms of all the cooperation and support for the implementation of the project as

well as nomination of the competent authorities.

3.3 CENSUS SURVEYS AND STRUCTURE MARKING

For census survey a questionnaire is prepared, which covers all the information needed for

R&R settlement. Public consultation, FGD with stakeholder was conducted with visual aids

and one to one discussion at village levels (Questionnaire prepared by World Bank). Each and

every structure within the Col was measured. The location, size and shape, type of

construction of the structures were recorded. Information about the household i.e. family,

occupation, literacy level, income and other social information to determine whether the

households were to be categorized as vulnerable (for special considerations under the

entitlement framework of the project) was collected. Revenue records were used for

verifications of legal RoW and boundaries of private property likely to be within Col. Assets

such as boundary wall, public property and institutions were also recorded. With the

completion of final designs for the project, only those within the actual Col had been

considered eligible for entitlement under the project.


The census and the socio-economic survey were required in order to generate necessary

data/input for preparing the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP). Successful implementation of

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

PAPs. The survey provide a baseline measurement of potential impacts on affected families

/persons that form the eligibility criteria for entitlement spelt out in the R & R Policy of the

Rajasthan State. Two kinds of surveys were undertaken during project preparation.

The surveys were carried out keeping in view the requirements for the assessment of the

category and quantum of losses, so that the entitlements can be evolved in a logical and

scientific manner. The socio-economic and census survey has been carried out to ensure that

each and every affected and displaced person is identified and his entitlements are worked out

to determine the expenditure estimates on the basis of the entitlements. The census and socio

economic survey has been carried out for the non-titleholder PAPs as well as for titleholder.

There is no acquisition of agricultural land.

Present project improvement and strengthening of SH-2 from single lane to 2 lanes with hard

shoulders configuration aims to:

• Improve and strengthen the existing quality of the pavement to take heavy loads so that

pavement failure, maintenance etc. are minimized.

• Improve the horizontal and vertical alignment of the existing road.

• Improve the existing speed of traffic flow by removing all bottlenecks at various important

points

• Increase the carrying capacity of the existing traffic volume and enable it to cater to the

future traffic.

• Improve accessibility of the existing road net work.

• Provide highway amenities like Lay-by, bus stop etc.

• Improve the numerous intersections on entire stretch of the SH-2 within the section

3.4 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Geometric design standards for rural (Non-urban) Highways" IRC-73-1980 has been used

for study of project road passing through rural areas. To set the Geometric design for Urban

Section i.e., sections where the highway is passing through the existing villages & built-up

zone, "Geometric Design for Urban Highways" IRC-86-1983 has been adhered too. The

proposed project road is 2-lane paved /earthen shoulder configuration. The designing of the


proposed route is carried for the upcoming next 15 years and various type of designing

standards are used viz. IRC: 37-2001, IRC: 38- 1988, IRC SP: 42-1994l IRC SP 73:2007.

The proposed design speed is 80-65 km/hr in rolling terrain and 50 km/hr in mountainous

terrain. Adopted Design standards fare given in Table 3.1.

3.5 CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES

"WITH" AND "WITHOUT" PROJECT SCENARIO

Keeping in view the site conditions and the scope of development of the area, the 'with' and

'without' project scenarios have been compared as given in Table 3.2.


By looking at the table, it can be concluded that "With" project scenario positive/beneficial

impacts will improve the environment and enhance social and economic development of the

region compared to the "Without" project scenario, which will further deteriorate the present

environmental setup and quality of life. Hence the "With" project scenario with minor

reversible impacts is an acceptable option than the "Without" project scenario. The

implementation of the project therefore will be definitely advantageous to achieve the all -

round development of the economy and progress of the region.

Impacts on vegetation are expected during construction phase. Little increase in the

pollution levels of the air is possible. Dust and particulate matter during construction will

affect the air quality on a short-term basis. However, an important benefit which is not

represented in this assessment will be major reduction in the Particulate Matter (PM10 and

PM2 5) levels from vehicles using a surfaced road (with project scenario) in the build

condition, compared to a continued use of dusty unsurfaced I tracks (without project

scenarios).

The minor impacts due to air; noise, vegetative cover and soil erosion will be remunerated

by adopting appropriate mitigate measures such as roadside plantation, arboriculture and

landscaping, compensatory afforestation, and providing underpasses and noise barriers.

Therefore, "With" project scenario, with its minor adverse impacts is more acceptable

than the "Without" project scenario which would mean an aggravation of the existing


problems. The potential benefits ofthe proposed road improvements are substantial and far

reaching both in terms of the geographical spread and time. Hence, it is clear that the

implementation of the project will be a definite advantage to State of Rajasthan in order to

achieve all-round development of its economy and progress of its people.

3.6 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

3.6.1 Proposed Improvements

The existing Right of Way is adequate to fit the proposed cross-sections. The proposed

improvement would remove all bottlenecks and address VOP, congestion.

Bypass at Dausa starting at NH-11 to NH 11-A of 10 km length is proposed for this project

road. Sharp curves, where many accidents are occurring, are being improved. Both

Horizontal and vertical road geometry of the alignment is not poor, but condition of

pavement is very bad with design speed compliance of only 30 km/hr. Based on the detailed

study different options were evolved, out of which a best option as follows is finalized after

discussions with PWD officers at Jaipur.

3.6.1.1 Comparative Analysis of alternative options.

Sharp curves are improved along the project road having existing curve radius of 130 m

with vehicles plying at speed of 50 km/hr has been recorded during engineering site

investigations. The location of the curves is located at built up area and the available ROW

at these locations is 24m.

Based on the above conditions the road has been proposed to improve these curves with

improved curve radius of 170 m targeting enhance vehicular speed of 65 kmph.

On the basis of options, that is

i) Following the existing alignment and

ii) It has been observed that adopting the existing alignment and adopting appropriate

traffic management plan in construction stage will have minimum impacts on social

environment.

In the other cases no other alternative is feasible.

3.6.1.2 Availability of Alternative Routes


The following major arterial roads join the project which bring I take traffic to I from the

project corridor. The following five routes may be competing routes for project road:

1. At km 23.000 (Tunga), SH - 24 from Bassi joins the project corridor, which provide

pathway to the Lalsot.

2. At km 53.000 (Chaksu), NH -12 from Jaipur joins the project corridor which provide

pathway to the Kota and Chhattisgarh.

3. At km 94.000 (Phagi), SH 12 from Jaipur joins the project corridor which carry many

pilgrims and commuters to Diggi

4. Another major arterial i.e., NH 8 join project road at km 130.000 (Dudu) which bring traffic

coming from Delhi, Jaipur and lead to Gujarat and Maharashtra.

From Dausa to Jaipur via NH11 and to Dudu via NH12 is the competing route for the project road.

Complete Jaipur city is to be crossed in this route adding to city congestion.

Conclusion

After studying the alternative routes, it was found that no appropriate competing route is available

for the project stretch. Although one competing route via Jaipur, development of this road will

increase traffic potential on this route leading towards NH 8 outgoing via NH 11 from Agra I Uttar

Pradesh to Ajmer, Udaipur Mount Abu and Ahmadabad.


CHAPTER-4

PUBLIC INFORMATION AND CONSULTATIONS

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Public consultations have acquired a very important role in the planning process for

development projects. Globally, the practice of involving communities in the planning

process has been recognized as an effective tool for mitigating the negative impacts due to

the projects and ensuring its timely completion. The effectiveness of participation and

consultation is directly related to the degree of involvement of the affected groups. The

project requires detail planning to ensure that likely project affected persons, local

community, interested groups, non-governmental organizations, civil society

organizations; local government, line departments, etc are consulted regularly at different

stages.

4.2 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 planning

and 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

with the affected PAPs.

Public information and consultation was carried out during the project preparation stage in

the form of public meeting, focus group discussion, 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 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.

4.3 OBJECTIVES

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 project are:

• Promote public awareness and improve understanding of the potential impacts of

proposed project;

• Identify alternative sites or designs and mitigation measures;

• Solicit the views of affected communities I individuals on environmental and social

problems;

• Improve environmental and social soundness;

• Clarify values and trade-offs associated with different alternatives;

• Identify contentious local issues which might jeopardize the implementation of the

project;

• Establish transparent procedures for carrying out proposed works;

• Create accountability and sense of local ownership during project implementation.

4.4 Tools for Consultation

Stakeholder consultations are taken-up using formal and informal discussions, and meetings

with Government of Rajasthan officials in various departments. Table 6.1 provides the list of

locations, where first round consultation has been conducted.


Formal Consultations: Five formal consultations were held on a pre-decided date, time and

venue in consultation with local people. These consultations helped stakeholders in

highlighting issues as raised with regard to the proposed road improvement

At the time of reconnaissance survey and baseline data collection, informal discussions have

been held with the local public residing in indirect project influence area to obtain an

overview of likely impacts and concerns of the community. Consultation was held at several

locations close to road alignment, where public activity was intense and covering villagers

and village panchayat.

Consultations were held focusing various levels as shown in Figure4.1.

Figure 4.1 Various Levels of consultations

4.5 LEVELS OF CONSULTATIONS

The public consultations were carried out at three stages namely screening, feasibility and

social impact assessment of the project. Public consultations at screening and feasibility

levels were conducted at those locations which could likely have more impacts than other

affected areas in the region. SIA consultations were carried out at village and district level.


Types of consultations done with various participants usmg different tools including,

interviews with government officials, individual consultations, key informant interviews,

focus group discussion, stakeholder consultations, etc, are presented in Table 4.1

4.5.1 Informal Consultations:

One of the prime objectives of the public consultations has been to involve local people in

project planning. While undertaking the social screening survey and technical surveys such

as inventory of road side utilities, environmental features, structures, census and socio

economic survey (primary survey within 500m on either side of road), information

dissemination about proposed road improvements has also taken place. In general, the

people (primary stakeholder) were informed about the proposed road improvement program,

likely impacts on individual and to common properties resources.

4.5.2 District Level Consultation

(a) Jaipur District Council meeting was held on 17.06.2013 in Collectorate Jaipur. The matter of

rehabilitation and strengthening of part of SH-2 (Dausa to Dudu via Lawan, Tunga, Chaksu,

Phagi, from Km. 000 (on NH-11A) to Km. 130 was taken up.

Consultation with the institutional officials focused on the following issues:

• Project description: -Need for the up-gradation i.e. 2 laning I 2 laning with hard shoulders of

the project road and benefits of the project etc.

• Social and environnemental Asses ment vis-a-vis GOR requierent;

• The extent and nature of negative social and environmental impact and the need for

rehabilitation and resettlement in the project. Avoidance, mitigation and enhancement

aspects in the project;


• Dissemination of R&R policy formulated for the project prescribing various R&R options to

facilitate in improving or at a minimum regaining the former status of living of the people

affected by the project at no cost to them; and

• People's participation in planning, implementation and monitoring & evaluation stage.

Following issues were discussed and suggestions made:-

1. Both sides of the road trees should only be cut, when it is very much essential.

2. The cement concrete road should be constructed in village habitat areas and BT

road should be made outside of the rural areas.

3. Main roads (state highways and major district roads should be provided with speed

breakers as per guidelines of IRC), so that chances of accident are minimized.

4. Since, State Highway- 2 from km 000 to 130 is to be widened to 7 m, the culverts on

this road should therefore be also widened to 7m.

5. The sharp curve on this road should be improved, so that chances of accidents are reduced.

Members of district council recommended and passed the above resolution

unanimously.

Photograph with Consultation with the institutional officials


4.5 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED

Different techniques of consultation with stakeholders were used during project preparation,

viz., in-depth interviews, public meetings, group discussions, Individual Consultations etc. to

understand the socio-economic profile of the community and the affected families,

structured questionnaires were used and information was collected from the individuals on

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

vulnerable groups. The key informants during the project preparation phase included both

individuals and groups namely:

• Heads and members of households likely to be affected

• Groups/clusters ofPAPs

• Village Panchayat, Sarpanch and members

• Local voluntary organizations and NGO

• Government agencies and departments such as local revenue authority

• Other project stakeholders with special focus on PAPs belonging to the vulnerable

group.


4.6.1 General Consultations

The dissemination process and type of information shared with the stakeholders during

consultations are described below:

• While undertaking inventory of road side utilities, structures and P AHs census survey

the information disseminated focused on the proposed road improvements.

• Potential P AHs were consulted about the proposed road improvement program, resultant

impacts, possible socio-cultural conflict (if any) and loss of CPRs and its relocation.

• People were requested to gather at common places including Panchayat Bhawan,

temples, schools, etc.

• During these consultations pictorial methods were also used to explain proposed

improvement and possible social impacts in the concerned villages.

4.6.2 Structured Consultations

Consultations were conducted in structured format. For this purpose, date and venue of

consultation were fixed in advance and in coordination with the PRI representatives at

village level and officials from RD, PWD and NGOs. Such structured consultations helped

in highlighting issues as raised by stakeholders with regard to the proposed road

improvement.

4.7 STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS MATRIX

After the analyses it was found that majority of stakeholders were supportive and showed

positive interest in the project. District level authorities have been consulted. Information

gathered from them. Local users of the road and persons likely to be affected were in favor

of the proposed project. The people were concerned about road sides' safety, afforestation,

expected employment opportunities, means of livelihood in the project. The stakeholder

analysis for the project is presented in Table 4.2.

Conclusion of Public Consultation

traffic volume, widening and strengthening is necessary but not at the cost of human life,

safety and livelihood as it is a congested market area in Phagi. Dausa, Chaksu and Dudu

market congested area.

• Safety is an important issue especially for children, women and cattle. Acquisition of land

and other immovable properties and resettlement should be on the basis of "do first, and then

remove", with a simplified procedure and timely implementation of the same

• Proposed SH-2 project stretch was preferred by all the affected stakeholders of Market area.

Conclusions

The public consultations meetings conducted in three locations the respective districts However,

the affected people and their representatives had take interest for the proposed SH-2 for wending

and strengthening road from their village. The proposed road is in the revenue boundary of

village affecting directly or indirectly with their khasras. Households and all affected vulnerable

category. The affected land due to proposed SH-2 road in villages is within RoW. Affected

households have small land holdings and are worried about their livelihood. Therefore to develop

the existing RoW, by providing 14m width with earthen shoulders and covered drains with

footpath, either side as safety measures.


CHAPTERS

PROJECT IMPACTS

5.1 INTRODUCTION

The proposed project can be viewed as boosting economic growth and poverty reduction which

will bring substantial social and economic development in the region. The social benefits arising

due to the project will be triggered off due to improved accessibility to various services such as

easy access to markets, health facilities, schools, workplace etc which in tum increases the

income of the locals, and ultimately elevating their standard of living. The possible direct and

indirect positive impacts are listed below.

e The immediate benefits of road construction and improvement will come in the form of

direct employment opportunities for the roadside communities and specially those who are

engaged as wage labourers, petty contractors and suppliers of raw materials.

• Improved road network provides for improved linkages between the village communities

and urban centre, which provides wider marketing facilities;

• Road networks not only links the village communities to better markets, but also opens up

wider work opportunities in distant places. People can shuttle to distant work sites and

towns and engage in construction, factories, business as well as domestic works.

• Improved road networks encourage urban entrepreneurs to invest in far and remote areas in

commercial farming and industrial activities.

• Improved roads also help people building strong institutional network with outside

agencies. Essential and emergency services can be availed fast like schools, health centre,

public distribution system etc.

For the proposed project, some adverse effects may be encountered by the people.

The direct losses likely to be experienced by the people are:

(i) Loss of residential structure, loss of commercial structure, loss of agricultural land,

(ii) Loss of fruit bearing and non fruit bearing trees and

(iii) Loss of common property etc.


In context ofthe existing available RoW and the encroachments in the RoW, the project-affected

structures are owned by non-titleholders. The Non-titleholders, the squatters were found to be of

three types in the stretch comprising residential, commercial and residential-cum-commercial.

Amongst the commercial squatters and kiosks, the nature of activities varied from small shops,

tea stalls, grocery, general stores, cigarette I pan stalls, shoe repair, auto repair shops etc. The

commercial squatters I kiosks are at few locations in built-up section along the road.

5.3 EXISTING STATUS OF LAND AVAILABILITY

Despite all efforts taken for modifying the design of the project roads, a section of . the

communities along the corridor are going to be negatively impacted due to clearing of

encroachment and squatters from the public RoW and the proposed realignment sections.

Negative impacts also include loss of economic opportunities I livelihood, source of earning etc.

In addition to the above, a small number of community/cultural properties are also going to be

negatively impacted.

5.4 LAND ACQUISITION ESTIMATES FOR THE PROJECT STRETCH

For the junction improvement, realignments, widening and other purposes, sufficient land is

available within the Row. There is no land acquisition in this subproject. The project road

passes through 28 villages. (Table 5.1)

5.7 Vulnerable Groups

The following groups of 70 households are considered socially vulnerable and thus need special

consideration, so that they can benefit from the project. Women Headed Household is least in

number in vulnerab.ility category. The ST population affected by the project is mostly involved

in farming and trading. They are part of the mainstream in terms oflivelihoods and society. They

have fixed assets like house & land, and income from farming and small business. They share

their sour~es of water, folklore, infrastructure and other resources with the rest of the

community, are open to new ideas like family planning and formal education. Most of them have

nuclear families. Table 5.7 gives the details of the vulnerability category.

Total 70


5.8 IMP ACT ON WOMEN

Project would not impact women headed households. The percentages of such families affected are

almost nil from the total affected households. For the cause of compensation and assistance to be

provided to these households, it is better to consider the absolute number of such families in the

affected and displaced categories.

5.9 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF PROJECT INFLUENCED HABITATIONS

Socio-economic profile of the project area with particular reference to indigenous people, poverty

level, gender issues and local economy like agriculture, industry, health and educational status is

drawn on random sampling basis.

The study has been carried out with a participatory approach by involving the stakeholders,

particularly the project beneficiaries and probable affected persons through a series of consultative

process techniques. The population groups that consulted include beneficiary group of people in the

project influence area, particularly the shopkeepers, farmers, transport operators, gram panchayats

Sarpanch I Members, village elders, the local youth and Government officials, who are involved in

rural and women development programs and employment generation schemes. Care has been taking

to form participatory consultative groups as homogenous as possible.

5.10.1 Socio-Economic Survey

Households likely to be affected were approached by the surveyors for administration of

questionnaire for collection of detailed information.


Focus Group Discussions were organized, in separate sessions, with groups like, youth I elders,

shopkeepers I operators, women & especially vulnerable people who were available during survey.

Community consultations were held along major settlements near to the proposed alignment and

with those who are likely to be connected because of implementation of the proposed project.

Meetings have been held with affected titleholders, cultivators, shopkeepers, squatters, kiosks etc at

few important junctions along the project stretch.

Key informant interviews were conducted with local leaders I village Panchayat functionaries,

members & senior citizen of the area to gain an insider's views regarding specific highway related

issues in the area. In some cases, interviews were undertaken at places convenient to the key

persons, even beyond project impact zone.

Gender Analysis has been given proper emphasis during public consultation discussions. Separate

discussion sessions were held with women who could share their experience related to highway for

the purpose such as by pass, bus bays, employment, transportation issues that are specific for the

women. Their collective perception about project impacts and probable benefits particularly for the

women has been taken.

Strlllctured Direct Observations- Field observation on general socio-economic and health status of

the people, infrastructural set up or lack of it requirement of the people in view of project road

alignment, etc. were recorded by the survey team.

Review of Secondary Information- Apart from afore mentioning techniques and tools a desk

review and preliminary analysis were undertaken of existing statistical records, census and

gazetteers. Published works, research reports, National Human Development reports, State women

development cell reports and periodic reviews has been consulted to get an overview of the general

gender, health, trafficking issues.

5.10.2 Affected Households & Persons

The socio-economic characteristics of the project affected habitation (direct and indirect influence

zone) have been analyzed. The total affected households by structures are 306, the detail of

summary of households is given in table 5.8, which show the villages wise break up of households

getting affected by social stratification. In table 5.8 the village wise breaks up of proposed project

affected people with their sex ratio and literacy rate are given.

5.10.3 Literacy & Educational Status

The social development of a region can be signified by many indices. One of which, is literacy

status of the population. The literacy rate in the project area speaks volume about nature of social

infrastructure of the region as well as level of awareness among the people. The major reason for

less number of graduates or post graduate/ technical qualification is school dropouts. In the

proposed stretch the affected persons have low education level therefore; training programs for

income restoration may be an important aspect of rehabilitation Table 5.11 shows educational

level of the project-affected persons in percentage. More than 87% of the project affected

persons are literate but the employment opportunities are few therefore youth must be

encouraged for self employment or must take up training for income restoration

5.10.4 Occupational Pattern

The workforce participation ratio of the project-affected people is about 97.5 %. Among the project

affected people, Farming & Agro activities is the main source of livelihood. This accounts for 41.5% of

total workforce. About 10.5% are related to business & allied work and 23.3. %is daily wage labors.

Table 5.12 show the occupational background of the affected peoples.

According to the socio-economic analysis of the project-affected people, agriculture, agriculture laborer

and non agricultural labourers together constitute the bulk of the total employment among the P AH.

14.7% ofthe affected population is employed in the private or government service sector.

5.10.5 Income Level

Annual income helps in assessing families below poverty line (BPL) status. During the survey, incomes

of a household through all possible sources have been recorded. 67.65% of the households reported less

than Rs. 15,000/- annual income. About 86.87% of household's annual income is between Rs. 15,000/

to 60,000/-. 13.12% of household's income is between Rs. 60,000/- to 1, 20,000. Table 5.13 shows the

income level of the affected households.

It is estimated that an average household living in the PIA has an earning of Rs. 3,000- 4000/

per month. The proposed road alignment believes to reduce the distance between the localities

connecting Dausa to Jaipur section SH-2. This will facilitate growth of more economic activities,

access to better economic prospect outside the area and hence increase in income generation.

CHAPTER-6

R & R POLICY, FRAME WORK & ENTITLEMENT MATRIX

6.1 INTRODUCTION

It is imperative to analyze the acts and bylaws to understand the legalities and procedures in implementing

project and to comply with the World Bank policy on resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected

persons. Preparation of a separate resettlement and rehabilitation policy is supplement to the existing laws

in addressing various social and resettlement issues arises out of SH-2 project implementation.

6.2 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING REGULATIONS

6.2.1. LAND ACQUISITION ACT 1894

Land Acquisition Act is the instrument for acquiring land by the government for the public purpose. The main features of the Act are:

• Public purpose is ascertained according to the objectives and its several connotations depending upon the State (Section 3f).

• Land needed for any public purpose & publication of notification & last date of such public notice be referred to as publication of notification (Section 4)

• Objections to be made within stipulated time frame (30 days) after notification & objections. • Award by Collector to be made within a period of two years from date of publication of

declaration and if no award is made within that period, the entire proceedings for the acquisition of the land will lapse (Section llA)

• Reference to court of not accepting award, which has to be done within 6 weeks of the award, Disagreement may relate to measurement of land, amount of compensation, the persons to whom it is payable. (Section 18)

• Compensation based on market value, damage sustained by person interested in case of standing crops, at the time of collectors taking possession of the land by reason of severing of such land from his other land, damage to movable /immovable property & diminution of profits from land (Section 23) & an additional30% solarium.

• In cases of "urgency" land to be acquired within 15 days of public notification such land will be vested absolutely in the government free from all encumbrances.(Section 17)

The Act suffers from the basic deficiencies, which does not meet the World Bank requirements. The important limitations are:

• Market value based on average of registration value • No special provision for vulnerable group • Compensation only for lost asset, land, tree etc. no consideration for loss of livelihood

• does not recognized the encroachers using land for livelihood • Rehabilitation not made mandatory. • No special provision for indigenous population • Affected persons are not consulted only they can raise objection within certain time frame

6.2.2. NATIONAL POLICY ON RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION

The Government oflndia (GOI) in February 2004 approved a National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (NPRR) it recognizes the following essential features:

• That project affected families (P AF) not only lose their lands, other assets and livelihoods, they also experience adverse psychological and social/cultural consequences;

• The need to minimize large-scale displacement and where displacement IS inevitable,

resettlement and rehabilitation has to be handled with utmost care. This is especially

necessary for tribal, small and marginal farmers and women;

• That cash compensation alone is often inadequate to replace lost agricultural land,

homesteads and other resources. Landless laborers, forest dwellers, tenants, artisans are not

eligible for cash compensation;

• The need to provide relief especially to the rural poor (with no assets), small and marginal

farmers, SCs/STs and women;

• The importance of dialogue between P AFs and the administration responsible for

resettlement for smoother implementation of projects and R &R.

• The policy is in the form of broad guidelines and executive instructions and will be applicable

to projects displacing 500 families or more in plain areas and 250 families or more in hilly

areas. The NPRR does not meet some of the World Bank's resettlement policy's key

requirements. Firstly, the NPRR states that in acquisitions for highways, railway lines,

transmission lines and pipelines, project affected families will be offered an ex-gratis payment

of Rs 10,000 and no other resettlement and rehabilitation benefits. Secondly, the cut-off

numbers of affected persons for whom World Bank requires resettlement plans are much

lower. Thirdly, replacement value is not clearly defined and more importantly is not taken

into account in the various lump-sum compensation payments that have been decreed in the

policy. Fourthly, no specific entitlements have been provided for untitled persons such as

squatters and encroachers. However, the policy does recognize some significant principles. It

requires projects to (a) minimize displacement and to identify non-displacing or least-

displacing alternatives; (b) plan the resettlement and rehabilitation of PAPs including special

needs oftribal and vulnerable sections; (c) provide a better standard ofliving to PAFs; and (d)

facilitate harmonious relationships between the requiring body and P AFs through mutual

cooperation. A National Monitoring Committee will be set up comprising the Secretary Land

Resources (Chair), Secretary Planning Commission, Secretary Social Justice and

Empowerment, Secretary Water Resources, Secretary Tribal Affairs, Secretary Railways,

Secretary Power and Secretary Coal. In addition a National Monitoring Cell will be

established n the Department of Land Resources in the Ministry of Rural Development under

a Joint Secretary, assisted by zonal directors, subject matter specialists, deputy directors and

other support staff.

6.3. World Bank Requirement

The aim of the World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement is to avoid or minimized the

impacts on people, households, businesses and others affected by the land acquisition required by

the project. The main objectives and principles of the policy are:

• Involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized where feasible, exploring all viable

alternative project designs. For example, realignment of roads or reductions in dam height

may significantly reduce resettlement needs.

• Where displacement is unavoidable, resettlement plans should be developed. All involuntary

resettlement should be conceived and executed as development programs, with resettles

provided sufficient investment resources and opportunities to share in project benefits.

Displaced persons should be

(i) compensated for their losses at full replacement cost prior to the actual move;

(ii) assisted with the move and supported during the transition period in the resettlement

site; and

(iii) assisted in their efforts to improve their former living Standards, income earnmg

capacity, and production levels, or at least to restore Them. Particular attention should

be paid to the needs of the poorest groups to be resettled.

• Community participation in planning and implementing resettlement should be encouraged.

Appropriate patterns of social organization should be established, and existing social and

cultural institutions of resettles and their hosts should be supported and used to the greatest

extent possible.

• Resettles should be integrated socially and economically into host communities so that

adverse impacts on host communities are minimized. The best way of achieving this

integration is for resettlement to be planned in areas benefiting from the project and through

consultation with the future hosts.

• Land, housing, infrastructure, and other compensation should be provided to the adversely

affected population, indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, and pastoralists who may have

usufruct or customary rights to the land or other resources taken for the project. The absence

of legal title to land by such groups should not be a bar to compensation.

6.3.1 WORLD BANK POLICIES R & R POLICY GUIDELINES

"The World Bank's involuntary resettlement policy states that project planning must avoid and

minimize involuntary resettlement, and that if people lose their homes or livelihoods as a result of

Bank-financed projects, they should have their standard ofliving improved, or at least restored."

Comprehensive R&R policy frameworks will be prepared as one of the preliminary tasks during the

project preparatory phase. "Involuntary resettlement may cause severe long-term hardship,

impoverishment and environmental damage unless appropriate measures are carefully planned and

carried out. For these reasons, the overall objectives of the (World) Bank's policy on involuntary

resettlement are the following:

• Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring aU viable

alternative project designs.

• 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 persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should

be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and

implementing resettlement programs.

• Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of

living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing

prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher."

All possible social safeguards are maintained in order to mitigate I reduce negative impacts caused by

development project. Guidelines must also be in tune with the national context and ground realities

i.e. projects.

6.3.2 BROAD PRINCIPLES

The broad principles of the R&R are as below:

• The negative impact on persons affected by the project would be avoided or minimized.

• Where the negative impacts are unavoidable, the project-affected persons will be assisted in

improving or regaining their standard of living. Vulnerable groups will be identified and

assisted to improve their standard of living.

• All information related to resettlement preparation and implementation will be disclosed to

all concerned, and people's participation is being ensured in planning and implementation of

the project.

• All acquisition of land would be under LA Act, 1894, which provides for compensation for

properties to be acquired. Compensation will be paid at the replacement value of the property.

The persons affected by the project who does not own land or other properties but who have

economic interest or lose their livelihoods will be assisted as per the broad principles brought

out in this policy.

• Most of the widening and strengthening work will take place by the side of the existing

Highway except at locations where the existing alignment may involve shifting to

accommodate bypasses, geometric and other cost effective improvements.

• Before taking possession of the acquired lands and properties, compensation and R&R

assistance will be made in accordance with this policy.

• There would be no/or minimum adverse social, economic and environmental

• Effects of displacement on the host communities but if needed specific erasures would be

provided in the Resettlement Plan.

• Broad entitlement framework of different categories of project-affected people has been

assessed and is given in the entitlement matrix. Provisions will be kept in the budget for those

who were not present at the time of enumeration. However, anyone moving into the project

area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to assistance.

• Appropriate grievance redress mechanism will be established at the district level to ensure

speedy resolution of disputes.

• All activities related to resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring would ensure

involvement of women. Efforts will also be made to ensure that vulnerable groups are

included.

• All consultations with PAPs shall be documented. Consultations will continue during the

implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation works.

• The Resettlement Plan shall include a fully itemized budget and an implementation schedule

linked to the civil works contract.

6.3.3 Bank Policies and its applicability

The World Bank's social safeguard policies are cornerstone of its support to sustainable poverty

reduction. The objective of these policies is to prevent and mitigate undue harm to people in the

development process. The effectiveness and development impact of projects and programs supported

by the Bank has substantially increased as a result of attention to these policies.

Safeguard policies have often provided a platform for the participation of stakeholders in project

design, and have been an important instrument for building ownership among local populations.

World Bank policy on:

6.3.4 INDIGENOUS PEOPLES-

Operational Directive (OD) 4.10: Indigenous Peoples, underscores the need for borrowers and Bank

staff to identify indigenous peoples, consult with them, ensure that they participate in and benefit

from Bank-funded operations in a culturally appropriate way and that adverse impacts on them are

avoided, or where not feasible, minimized or mitigated.

6.3.5 INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT-

Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement OP 4.12

The Bank's Operational Policy 4.12: Involuntary Resettlement is triggered in situations involving

involuntary taking of land and involuntary restrictions of access to legally designated parks and

protected areas. The policy aims to avoid involuntary resettlement to the extent feasible, or to

minimize and mitigate its adverse social and economic impacts. It promotes participation of

displaced people in resettlement planning and implementation, and its key economic objective is to

assist displaced persons in their efforts to improve or at least restore their incomes and standards of

living after displacement. The policy prescribes compensation

The implementation of development projects that require land may cause involuntary displacement of

population who live in affected areas. The involuntary displacement may cause severe long-term

impacts unless appropriate measures are carefully planned and carried out. Therefore, since 1980 the

Bank has developed policies and guidelines for resettlement of project's affected population. The

Bank's Resettlement Policy has been modified several times according to the experiences in its

application and to the new situations that have emerged. Currently, the policy in force is the

Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement OP 4.12. The main objective of this policy is to

assist the efforts of the displaced persons to improve their livelihoods and standards, or at least to

restore them to pre-displacement levels.

Generally, the projects that may cause involuntary displacement are: infrastructure projects,

management of natural resources, slum upgrading and risk prevention.

In the Project Influence Region, the unplanned growth of villages has generated large deficits in

housing, transportation infrastructure, and basic services, especially water and sewage systems.

Resettlement has become a strategy for reducing poverty and a means to reduce levels of better

livelihood.

Strategy

the Bank has carried out a review of the projects; it finances in the region and, according to the

results, prepares guidelines for the application of the Resettlement Policy.

6.4 POLICIES OF WORLD BANK, STATE LAND NPRR 2007- COMPARISON

A policy is a set of rules framed by organizations and corporations to achieve certain goals

complying with the law. Every conceivable effort will be made during the project design and

preparation stages to minimize acquisition of land and other assets in order to reduce adverse socio

economic impacts.

The structures/assets falling outside the Right of Way/Corridor of Impact should be left undisturbed

as far as practicable.

Road and/or flyover projects may have to deal with Project Affected Persons, who fall under the

following categories:

• Legal owners and/or tenants getting adversely affected due to the acquisition of their land and

assets or due to the fact that such land or assets so acquired are their sources of livelihood and

• Encroachers and/or squatters, who are the illegal occupants/users of public property I land I

structures falling within the Right of Way and accordingly live and I or earn their

livelihood,

• The Project Authority would take final decision with regard to compensation and I or

Resettlement & Rehabilitation assistance. No compensation for land may be provided to the

encroachers and squatters keeping in mind their illegal status. R&R assistance may be

provided to encroachers and squatters, who belong to the disadvantaged and vulnerable

groups. Compensation for structures and other lost assets (required for the project)·may be

paid at the replacement value to encroachers I squatters, who belong to the vulnerable

groups. The Project Authority would take final decision in this regard.

6.5 Resettlement & Rehabilitation Policy of State Of Rajasthan

The policy applies to projects where 500 or more families have been displaced en masse in plain

areas and 250 families or more in hilly areas and areas mentioned in Schedule V and Schedule VI of

the Constitution. The benefits under the policy are applicable to all project affected families-those

living below the poverty line and others. The policy states that rehabilitation grants and other

monetary benefits are minimize and that State Governments and project proponents are free to adopt

packages higher than this.

Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy (R& R)

The policy would strive to strike a balance between the need for land for developmental activities

and, at the same time, protecting the interests of landowners and others, such as tenants, the landless,

agricultural and laborers, artisans and others whose livelihood depends on specific land.

Under the new policy, no project involving displacement of families beyond defined thresholds can

be undertaken without a detailed Social Impact Assessment (SIA). The SIA report will be examined

by an independent multi-disciplinary expert group, which will also include social science and

rehabilitation experts. The policy also provides that land acquired for a public purpose cannot be

transferred to any other purpose but a public purpose, and that too, only with prior approval of the

government. Further, if land acquired for a public purpose remains un-untilled for five years from the

date of taking over the possession, the same will revert to the government concerned.

The development process involves large-scale re-distribution of resources (cost) and this creates

insecurities that need to be addressed, so that the process becomes inclusive. Thus R&R policy

seeking to ensure that development happens, social\Regional transition should be welcomed.

6.5.1 Broad Principles of the RSRP (Rajasthan State) R&R Policy

This policy document describes the principles and approach to be followed in Minimizing and

mitigating negative social and economic impacts by the projects. The guidelines are prepared for

addressing the issues limited to this projects for resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs. The

Resettlement Plan has been developed based on guidelines of World Bank on Involuntary

Resettlement. The RAP will be implemented by the state government through its department with the

assistance of NGO or any such implementing agency. The broad principles of Rajasthan State R&R

policy is discussed below and detail delimitations, legal frame work, calculation of replacement

value, categories of impacts and broad entitlement framework

6.5.2 National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation (NPRR)-

The Government of India (GOI) in February 2004 approved a National Policy on Resettlement and

Rehabilitation (NPRR). It recognizes the following essential features:

• Those project-affected families (PAF) who not only lose their lands, other assets and

livelihoods, they also experience adverse psychological and social/cultural consequences;

• The need to minimize large-scale displacement and where displacement is inevitable,

resettlement and rehabilitation has to be handled with utmost care. This is especially

necessary for tribal, small and marginal farmers and women;

• That cash compensation alone is often inadequate to replace lost agricultural land, homesteads

and other resources. Landless laborers, forest dwellers, tenants, artisans are not eligible for

cash compensation; Need to provide relief especially to the rural poor (with no assets), small

and marginal farmers, SCs/STs and women's.

The policy is in the form of broad guidelines and executive instructions and will be applicable to

projects displacing 500 families or more in plain areas and 250 families or more in hilly areas. The

NPRR does not meet some of the WB's resettlement policy's key requirements. Firstly, the NPRR

states that in acquisitions for highways, railway lines, transmission lines and pipelines, project

affected families will be offered an ex-gratis payment of Rs 10,000 and no other resettlement and

rehabilitation benefits. Secondly, the cut-off numbers of affected persons for whom other agencies

require resettlement plans are much lower. Thirdly, replacement value is not clearly defined and

more importantly is not taken into account in the various lump-sum compensation payments that

have been decreed in the policy. Fourthly, no specific entitlements have been provided for untitled

persons such as squatters and encroachers. However, the policy does recognize some significant

principles. It requires projects to

• minimize displacement and to identify non-displacing or least-displacing alternatives;

• plan the resettlement and rehabilitation of APs including special needs of tribal and

vulnerable sections;

• Provide a better standard of living to P AFs; and facilitate harmonious relationships between

the requiring body and P AFs through mutual cooperation.

6.6 Current Institutional Framework-

For successful implementation of the RP the proposed institutional arrangement with their role and

responsibility has been outlined in this section.

The primary institutions, who will be involved in this implementation process, are the following:

• Rajasthan State Public Works Department, Government of Rajasthan

• Project Management Unit (PMU)

• Project Implementation Unit (PIU)

• Non Government Organization (NGO)

6.6.1 Executing Agency

The Executing Agency (EA) for the project is PWD, Government of Rajasthan. The State PWD has

already set up a Project Management Unit (PMU) headed by a Chief Engineer assisted by

Superintending Engineers and other field Engineers. This office will have overall responsibility for

implementation of loan and will also be responsible for the overall coordination among WB,

Government of Rajasthan and PIU.

6. 7 ENTITLEMENT MATRIX

The principal aim of a RAP is to address the social impacts and ensure the successful rehabilitation of

project-affected families I households. The policy framework for entitlement of the project affected

families is based on the laws and practices of the Governments of India and Rajasthan and the World

Bank requirements. The resettlement entitlement matrix recognizes different types of losses

associated with dislocation and resettlement. These include the loss of squatter structures I

properties and the spill over (encroachment) business space.

6.7.2 Unit of Entitlement

The "family" is the unit of entitlement for receiving compensation and assistance for suffering losses due to

the project. A family consists of a person, his or her spouse, unmarried sons, unmarried daughters, minor

brothers, unmarried sisters, father, mother, and other members residing with him I her and dependent on him I

her for their livelihood. The affected persons/families have been categorized as

• Titleholders

• Non-titleholders

6. 7.3 Entitlement Matrix

The cut-off date for entitlement is the

(i) Date on which notification is issued Uls 4 of LA Act for the titleholders, and

(ii) The date on which census and socioeconomic surveys of PAPs begin for the non-titleholders.

The titleholder P AFs would be eligible for compensation as well as assistance. The non- Titleholders

P AFs will not be eligible for compensation of the land occupied by them. However, they will receive

compensation for the investment made by them on the land such as structures, wells, etc. in addition

to their assistance. As per the current practices compensation is provided as per government rates,

determined by a legally constituted committee (District Land Price Fixation Committee). The P AFs

will be allowed to salvage whatever material is useful to them from the structures after demolition to

rebuild their structures. The following mitigating measures are being proposed in keeping with the

R&R Policy framework prepared for this project by the Consultants.

The Entitlement Matrix provides category-wise details regarding the entitlements in relation to the

R&R principles enumerated above. The following table presents the entitlement matrix for the

project

5.4 The Need for Separate Policy:

The existing State Acts I Laws I Bills that are applicable to the project form the social

issues point of view have some or other gaps that do not comply with the World Bank

policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation. As a result, a policy framework for the people

adversely affected by the project needs to be developed to address the social issues

induced by the project. Both these policy framework has been developed to maximize

the project benefit by addressing and mitigating the negative impacts of the project.

5.4.1 Broad Principles of the Rajasthan State RP R&R Policy

This policy document describes the principles and approach to be followed in minimizing

and mitigating negative social and economic impacts by the projects. The guidelines are

prepared for addressing the issues limited to this projects for resettlement and

rehabilitation of the PAPs. The Resettlement Plan has been developed based on

guidelines of World Bank on Involuntary Resettlement. The RAP will be implemented by

the state government through its department with the assistance of NGO or any such

implementing agency. The broad principles of Rajasthan State R&R policy is discussed

below and detail delimitations, legal frame work, calculation of replacement value,

categories of impacts and broad entitlement framework.

5.4.2. BROAD PRINCIPLES

The broad principles of the R&R are as below:

• The negative impact on persons affected by the project would be avoided or

Minimized

• Where, the negative impacts are unavoidable, the project-affected persons will be

assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living. Vulnerable groups will

be identified and assisted to improve their standard of living.

• All information related to resettlement preparation and implementation will be

disclosed to all concerned, and people's participation is being ensured in planning

and implementation of the project.

• All acquisition of land would be under LA Act, 1894, which provides for

compensation for properties to be acquired. Compensation will be paid at the

Replacement value of the property. The persons affected by the project who does

not own land or other properties but who have economic interest or lose their

livelihoods will be assisted as per the broad principles brought out in this policy.

• Most of the widening and strengthening work will take place by the side of the

existing Highway except at locations where the existing alignment may involve

shifting to accommodate bypasses, geometric and other cost effective

improvements. Before taking possession of the acquired lands and properties,

compensation and R&R assistance will be made in accordance with this policy.

• There would be no/or minimum adverse social, economic and environmental

effects of displacement on the host communities but if needed specific measures

would be provided in the Resettlement Plan.

• Broad entitlement framework of different categories of project-affected people

has been assessed and is given in the entitlement matrix. Provisions will be kept

in the budget for those who were not present at the time of enumeration.

However, anyone moving into the project area after the cut-off date will not be

entitled to assistance.

• Appropriate grievance redress mechanism will be established at the district level

to ensure speedy resolution of disputes.

• All activities related to resettlement planning, implementation, and monitoring

would ensure involvement of women. Efforts will also be made to ensure that

vulnerable groups are included.

• All consultations with PAPs shall be documented. Consultations will continue

during the implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation works .

• The Resettlement Plan shall include a fully itemized budget and an

implementation schedule linked to the civil works contract.


CHAPTER-7

GENDER ISSUE & WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION

7.1 GENERAL

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

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

phase.

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

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

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

All the provisions as mentioned in the RAP are proposed keeping in mind the well-being of

mostly the affected women along with women of the host communities women workers can be

expected to come from outside being engaged by the construction contractors and will be

staying in the construction camps during the construction. There may be participation from

local women also in the construction activities.

7.2 IMP ACT ON WOMEN

751 females are getting affected by the project ( 43.38% of the total population) out of 282

households no women headed households are affected by the project. Socio-economic

parameters like literacy, work force participation rate and general health conditions etc. reveals

that social status of women is low respectively, thereby brought forward the scope of

considering the households headed by women as vulnerable.

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

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

opportunities created by the project equitably.

The changes caused by relocation tend not to have equal implications for members of both

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


systems, reduction in assets like land and livestock, women and marginalized vulnerable

groups may have to face additional challenge of running a household on limited income and

resources. This may force women as well as children to participate in involuntary work to

supplement household income, which may also lead to deteriorate social capital/network of

women and men alike hence making them more vulnerable to both social and environmental

hazards. It is therefore important to assess status of project affected women and other

vulnerable groups, their potential impacts, and accordingly, design an appropriate

strategy/plan.

7.3 WOMEN HEADED HOUSEHOLD

7.4

Women headed households are not found in the study area. The percentages of such affected

families are nil in project study area. For the cause of compensation and assistance to be

provided to these households, it is better to consider as displaced categories households.

WOMEN INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THROUGH

EMPOWERMENT

The development experience of at least two decades shows that it is equally necessary to

consult women and offer them choices ;i.e. In enabling them to make informed choices and

decide for their own development. Participation of women has been envisaged specifically in

the following areas:

In the pre-planning and planning stages participation from women could be sought through allowing

them for taking part in the consultation process.

Each field team of the NGO shall include at least one women investigator I facilitator

Compensation for land and assets lost being same for all the affected or displaced families,

special care should be taken by the NGOs for women group while implementing the process of

acquisition and compensation as well.

It is imperative that the PIU ensures that the women are consulted and invited to participate in- group

based activities, to gain access and control over the resource as a part of the RAP, additionally,

The NGOs should make sure that women are actually taking part in issuance of identity cards,


opening accounts in the bank, receiving compensation amounts by cheques in their name or not, etc.

This will further widen the perspective of participation by the women in the project

implementation

For monitoring and evaluation, there should be scope for women's participation. Women should be

encouraged to evaluate the project outputs from their point of view and their useful suggestions

should be noted for taking necessary actions for further modifications in the project creating better

and congenial situation for increasing participation from women. Monitoring of project inputs

concerning benefit to women should involve their participation that will make the process more

transparent to them. The Monitoring & Evaluation team(s) shall constitute- 33% women.

All assistance would be paid in a joint account in the name of both the spousps; except in the case of

women headed households and women wage earners.

7.5 INVOLVEMENT OF WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

The construction works for widening and strengthening the project corridor will start after the

R&R activities are over and the ROW is clear of any encroachment and land is temporarily

acquired for borrow areas and construction camps. The construction contractors will set up

their construction camps on identified locations where labour force required for the

construction activities will be provided with temporary residential accommodation and other

necessary infrastructure facilities.

The labor force required for the construction activities will be mostly local residents or nearby

villages labour. In addition, there will be requirement of unskilled labour where women will

certainly contribute. Apart from this, women as family members of the skilled and semi-skilled

labourers, will also stay in the construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the

construction phase. The families of labourers will include their children also.

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

cases the labourers, both male and female, will be migratory labourers. But, the involvement

of local labour force, especially for unskilled activities, cannot be ruled out. Moreover, the.

RAP suggests the provision of creation of man-days for local affected people. Hence, there will


be involvement of local women also in the local labour force.

Foreseeing the involvement of women, both direct and indirect in the construction activities,

certain measures are required to be taken towards welfare and well being of women and

children in particular during the construction phase.

7.6 SPECIFIC PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTRUCTION CAMP FOR WOMEN

The provisions mentioned under this section will specifically help all the women and children

living in the construction camp.

7.6.1 Temporary Housing

During the construction the families of labourers/workers should be provided with residential

accommodation suitable to nuclear families.

7.6.2 Health Centre

Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health care

facilities through health centers temporarily set up for the construction camp. The health centre

should have at least a doctor, nurses, GD staff, medicines and minimum medical facilities to

tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases, linkage with nearest hospital to refer

patients of major illnesses or critical cases.

The health centre should have MCW (Mother and Child Welfare) units for treating mothers

and children in the camp. Apart from this, the health centre should provide with regular

vaccinations required for children.

7 .6.3 Day Creche Facilities

It is expected that among the women workers there will be mothers with infants and small

children. Provision of a day creche may solve the problems of such women who can leave

behind their children in such a creche and work for the day in the construction activities.

The creche should be provided with at least a trained ICDS (Integrated Child Development

Scheme) worker with to look after the children. The ICDS worker, preferably woman, may

take care of the children in a better way and can manage to provide nutritional food (as


prescribed in ICDS and provided free of cost by the government) to them. In cases of

emergency she, as being trained, can tackle the health problems of the children and can

organize treatment linking the nearest health centre.

7 .6.4 Proper Scheduling of Construction Works

Owing to the demand of a fast construction work it is expected that a 24 hour-long work

schedule would be in operation. Women, especially the mothers with infants should to be

exempted from night shifts as far as possible. If unavoidable, creche facilities in the

construction camps must be extended to them in the night shifts too.

7.6.5 Educational Facilities

The construction workers are mainly mobile groups of people. They are found to move from

one place to another taking along their families with them. Thus, there is a need for educating

their children at the place of their work. For this at least primary schools are required to be

planned in the construction camps. Wherever feasible, day creche facilities could be extended

with primary educational facilities.

7 .6.6 Control on Child Labour

Minors i.e., persons below the age of 15 years should be restricted from getting involved in the

constructional activities. Measures should be taken to ensure that no child laborer is engaged in

the activities. Exploitation of young unmarried women is very common in these kinds of

camps. A strong vigilance mechanism should be created to check this and ensure ceasing of

such exploitation.

7.7.7 Special Measures for Controlling STD/AIDS

Solitary adult males usually dominate the labour force of construction camps. They play a

significant role in spreading sexually transmitted diseases. In the construction camps as well as

in the neighboring areas they are found to indulge in physical relations with different women.

This unhealthy sexual behavior gives rise to STDs and AIDS. While it is difficult to stop such

activities, it is wiser to make provisions for means of controlling the spread of such diseases.


Awareness camps for the target people, both in the construction camp and neighboring villages

as well.

7.7.8 Engaging woman Inspector of Works

Contractors should engage a woman Inspector of Works not below the rank of a Senior

Engineer to inspect the construction camps and any other component of work with respect to

gender issues. She would assist the Resident Engineer (RE) in all aspects of gender and child

labour related activities. She would have a full-time tenure throughout the entire construction

period. Her duties should include the preparation of monthly and quarterly reports and submit

them to the RE with a copy to the PWD and World Bank as well as PIU.

CHAPTERS

INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR RAP IMPLEMENTATION

9.1 GENERAL

Suitable institutional arrangements will be made to manage and implement Resettlement

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

Sub-Project Level. .

9.2 STATE LEVEL

At State Level, a Land Acquisition cum Social Development Officer (LA cum SDO)

would be appointed in the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) headed by Nodal Officer.

Additional sociologist as individual consultant will also be engaged to assist LA cum

SDO in states as required, particularly in states with larger share of sub projects. The

roles and responsibilities of the LA cum SDO would broadly include the following:

+ Facilitate preparation and implementation of land acquisition and RAP m

compliance with RPF,

+ Ensure consultation and stakeholder participation in finalisation of RAP

+ Guide and supervise RAP implementation at sub-project level,

+ Interact with RAP implementation support agencies and undertake field visits for

first-hand information,

+ Guide and supervise the RAP implementing agency to roll out HIV prevention

activities,

+ Compile data on LA progress and RAP implementation activities received from

field offices and update EAP and suggest suitable measures to be taken,

+ Co-ordinate with various government departments in matters related to

implementation of RAP,

+ Check implementation of RAP carried out by the agency from time to time by

undertaking site visits and consultations with PAPs,

+ Perform other roles and responsibilities related to implementation of RAP as

assigned by the EAP, time to time,

+ Facilitate and cooperate in third party audit of RAP implementation.

9.3 SUB-PROJECT LEVEL

A Project Implementation Unit (PIU) compnsmg officials of State PWD will be

constituted at sub-project level headed by the Superintending Engineer/ Executive

Engineer designated as Project Director. The PIU will be responsible for the project

execution including RAP implementation. There will be a designated or appointed

Resettlement & Rehabilitation Officer (RRO) at respective PIUs who will be responsible

CHAPTER-9

DISCLOSURE AND CONSULTATION PLAN

9.1 INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

The Draft Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) would be disclosed on PWD website as well

at the World Bank Info shop I Public Information Centre. Feedback, if any would be

incorporated into the final RAP document, following, which the final RAP will be re

disclosed. Further to enhance transparency in implementation, the list of PAPs for

disbursement of benefits shall be separately disclosed at the concerned Panchayat

Offices/ Urban Local Bodies, District Collector Offices, Block development Offices,

District Public Relations Offices (at the state and district levels), Project office, and any

other relevant offices, etc. The Resettlement Policy Framework, Executive Summary of

the SIA and RAP will be placed in vernacular language in the District Collector's Office.

9.2 CONSULTATION & PARTICIPATION PLAN

To ensure peoples' continued participation in the implementation phase and aiming at

promotion of public understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental problems such

as local needs of road users, problem :;tnd prospects of resettlement, various sections of

PAPs and other stakeholders will be engaged in implementation.

Key actions would be as follows:

• Communicating and informing PAPs and beneficiary households in the project area

of resettlement policy provisions and grievance redress mechanism through village

level public meetings;

• Holding one to one meeting with the PAPs to explain their eligibility;

• Placing of micro plan in affected villages for review and minimizing grievances;

• Payment of R&R assistance to PAPs during public meetings to maintain

transparency; and

• Household consultation to identify skill improvement training needs, counsel for

usage of assistance amount and other activities towards livelihood restoration.

Information dissemination would be carried out through printed leaflets I information

booklets that would be prepared by the RAP Implementation Support Agency in local

language. These would be distributed not only to PAPs, but also to people (residents,

businessmen and others) within the immediate project influence area and the local

community in advance, so that people discuss issues among themselves and prepare

themselves for the meeting. On the day of public meeting, once again leaflets would be

distributed among the people present for dissemination of information so as to ensure that

all present at the meeting, get to know about the project in case they did not get the leaflet

I information booklet.

The leaflet I information booklet would provide the following:

~ Brief description of the project and its objectives;

~ A summary of adverse impacts (including land acquisition, and impacts on common

property resources, etc);

~ Act under which land has been acquired;

~ Resettlement & rehabilitation provisions of the project and specific benefits available

to vulnerable communities;

~ Ways and means of involving local communities;

~ Expectations from local communities;

~ Role ofNGO and

~ Grievance redresses mechanisms, suggestion and complain handling mechanism, etc.

Information dissemination would be carried out at least once in a month by organizing

public meetings at suitable locations involving PAPs, local communities, institutions and

line departments at people's door step on a pre-decided date and time. Wide publicity for

the meeting would be carried out by beating of drums and announcement through loud

speakers in the adjoining areas. The LA cum Social Development Officer & RRO with

assistance from RAP implementation agency would describe all aspects of the project,

importance of consultations and also seek their participation and co-operation in the

project. In these public meetings various aspects of the project would be explained and

also the status of the project (technical, social & environmental) would be revealed.

People in general and PAPs in particular, would be given opportunity to provide

suggestions and raise issues which concern them and as a consequence maintain good

rapport with local community. Land Acquisition cum Social Development Officer (State

level), RRO, and RAP Implementation Support Agency shall be present in these

meetings.

After the public meeting, Minutes of Meeting (MoM) I resolution would be prepared and

read out to people present in the meeting. The MoM would be signed by the officials and

participants present at the meeting. The MoM would be kept in project file for

documentation purpose.

9.3 Framework for Continued Consultation

Information dissemination and consultation will be held during RAP implementation,

monitoring and evaluation stages. Consultation will be carried out by the Project

Authority through NGO with active involvement of R&R officer at project level.

Besides, the Social officer at state level will also carry out consultations with PAPs, local

community and other government department officials at suitable time intervals directly

with support from NGO and R&R Officer at site.

The information dissemination and consultation will start after the mobilization of NGO

at site. It will be carried out by organizing public meetings at suitable locations involving

PAPs, local communities, local authorities, NGOs, and other institutions available in the

area. Leaflets containing brief information about the project, policy provisions,

entitlements, GRC, etc shall be given to PAPs and local authorities as prior information.

A month wise work plan for holding consultations will be prepared by the NGO and

submitted to R&R Officer. The date, time and venue for holding consultations will be

intimated to PAPs, local community and local authorities at least 7 days in advance. The

timing of consultation shall be fixed as per the suitability of villagers giving due

consideration to peak working time. The intimation for the consultation shall be done by

way of drum beating, announcement by loud speaker and by putting up information on

the notice board of concerned village I town, and other such public places.

The team of NGO must have women and tribal members, while carrymg out

consultations. Separate I additional consultations I interactions with the women, tribal

and other vulnerable groups shall be organized.

After verification of PAPs, list of PAPs will be displayed in the concerned village I town.

In the consultation meetings various aspects covered in the RPF will be explained for

better understanding of the people in general and PAPs in particular. It is expected that

people would have several questions and doubts which require clarifications. The forum

will provide a platform to discuss those questions and clear doubts. Consultations with

people at frequent intervals would improve their understanding about· the project,

importance of their participation and also the likely benefits associated with the project.

Further, one to one consultations with PAPs will also be carried out by the RAP

implementation agency to inform the extent of impact, explain the entitlement,

importance of identity card, opening of joint account, mechanisms for grievance redress,

and also providing suggestions and complaints. Micro plan approved by the project

authority will be placed in concerned villages with panchayat office for review and to

minimize grievances. Every item contained in the micro plan shall be explained to the

satisfaction of PAPs so that there is no scope of any grievance at a later stage. Further,

consultations at household level will be undertaken for skill improvement training

purpose, use of compensation amount and livelihood restoration.

In the first three months of the RAP implementation, at least 3 rounds of consultations

will be carried out at those locations, where project is likely to cause adverse impacts.

In addition to the above, the Social Officer (at State Level) shall separately organize

information dissemination and consultation meetings every quarterly in the project

stretch. In the consultation meetings various aspects of the project would be explained

and also the status of the project (technical, social & environmental) would be revealed.

PAPs, local community and others would be given opportunity to discuss issues and seek

clarifications in context of the project. It is expected that regular interactions with PAPs

and local community directly and through NGO would help build good rapport with

them. Printed leaflets/ information booklets would be prepared by the Social Officer for

distribution in the project area. The Social Officer will play lead role to explain various

aspects of the project, importance of consultations and also seek their participation and

co-operation in the project. The RAP implementation agency will help and assist the

Social Officer (Project Authority) organizing information dissemination and consultation

meetings without any additional financial implications. For wider publicity of the

consultation meetings similar procedure shall be followed. In addition, government

officials in the surrounding areas shall be officially invited to participate in the meetings.

A Minutes of Meeting would be prepared and read out to people present in the meeting.

The Minutes of Meeting would be signed by the officials and some of the participants

present and will be kept in project file documentation purpose.

9.4 Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism (SCHM)

The PWD recognizes the importance of this and hence intends to establish a SCHM for

the Projects. The communication channels to report project related complaints/concerns

will be disclosed at all levels of institutions-State, Project site level.

Though the Right to Information Act, 2005 an Act of the Parliament of India provides

for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens. The Act applies to

all States and Union Territories of India except the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Under

the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a "public authority"

(a body of Government or "instrumentality of State"), which is required to reply

expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to

computerize their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively publish certain

categories of information, so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for

information formally. In other words under the act, citizens have right to seek

information from concerned agencies by following the set procedures. However, it is

quite likely that many people may not use the provisions of this Act, only in limited cases

covering serious concerns. Being an inter-state project involving several states and large

scale of civil works along with R&R and Environment issues, the project is likely to

receive many suggestions, complaints, inquiries, etc through the project implementation

period. Therefore, PWD has agreed to establish SCHM as a good practice to address

public concerns pertaining to various issues. SCHM will report all project related LA and

R&R . of the PAPs for redressal through the concerned PIU or GRC as appropriate.

Several communication channels viz., toll free phone number, dedicated email,

mechanism for on line submission of suggestions/complaints/inquiries, provision of

suggestion/complaint box (at site and project office), post and other suitable means shall

be set up for suggestion and complaint handling.

From the initial stage of the RAP implementation, the RAP IA will also disseminate

information regarding SCHM to local people and road users by organizing consultations,

distributing fliers, announcement by loud speakers, hoardings, etc. During consultations

the RAP IA personnel will explain the process of SCHM in detail.

CHAPTER-tO

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

10.1 INTRODUCTION

Involuntary resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) operations are invariably complex,

because they entail not merely compensation for lost assets, but also the relocation of

people and their economic re-establishment in a new place.

The World Bank policy on Involuntary Resettlement is based on several universally held

principles:-

~ Minimization of resettlement, participation of affected populations, compensation

at market rates, and economic rehabilitation

~ To improve planning. However, plans provide a guideline, not a blueprint, for

resettlement operations.

Almost the minute project agencies begin implementing their resettlement plans,

conditions, expectations, and options all start changing, requiring revisions in the

planning documents.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are invaluable in providing the information necessary

for revising the plans knowledgeably. M&E can provide critical information, in a timely

manner, to project authorities, who must make decisions about how to proceed as the

project progresses. From a project perspective, monitoring systems are the more

important of the two activities, because evaluations are essentially one-time assessments

that help project planners more than project implementers, while monitoring systems

provide more continuous, and timely information. Among monitoring systems,

administrative monitoring for land acquisition is much more commonly done than

socioeconomic monitoring of the adjustment and recovery of the affected population.

This difference in implementing workable monitoring systems warrants examination, so

that feasible socioeconomic monitoring systems can be implemented.

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

Monitoring involves periodic checking to ascertain whether activities are going according

to the plan. It provides the feed back necessary for project engagement to keep the

programs on schedule. By contrast, evaluation is essentially a summing up, the end of the

project assessment of whether those activities actually achieved the intended aims. As per

World Banks' OP 4.12 "Monitoring provides both working system for project managers

and a channel for the resettles to make them know their needs and reactions to

resettlement execution". Monitoring exercise will be undertaken internally in the project.

The social development and land acquisition officer of HPRIDC on monthly basis will

carry out the project's internal monitoring, an independent external agency will be

appointed for RAP implementation evaluation. The external agency will conduct mid

term and end term evaluation of the project. Indicators, which will be monitored during

the project, consist oftwo broad categories:

• Process and output indicators or internal monitoring

• Outcome/impact indicators or external evaluation

10. 2 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The RAP includes provision for initial monitoring and mid term and end term evaluation

by an external consultant. The NGO involved in the implementation of the RAP will be

required to supply all information and documents to the external evaluation consultant.

To this end, the NGOs shall keep proper documentation of their work and the R&R

process involved in the project and shall be responsible for the upkeep and updating of

such documents periodically and regularly. The documents shall include photographs and

videotapes of the pre-intervention and post intervention scenario of all the properties,

structures and assets affected by the project.

10.2.1 INTERNAL MONITORING

Monitoring of involuntary resettlement operations require precisely, an application of

general project monitoring procedures and methods to the process accruing in

resettlement but with particular attention to the specific high risks intrinsic in such

operations. Therefore a mechanism should be put in place or continuous flow of

information. Thus, the social development officer at the State Level (Head Quarter) in

close coordination with his counterparts at district level will carry out regular monitoring.

The internal monitoring is a conventional monitoring of government related to physical factors

such ·as, number of families affected, resettled, assistance extended, infrastructure facilities

provided, etc. and other financial aspects, such as compensation paid, grant extended, etc. The

internal M&E must be simultaneously carried out with the implementation of the Rehabilitation

Action Plan (RAP).

10.2.2 OBJECTIVES OF INTERNAL MONITORING

The objectives of the internal monitoring are:

~Operations Planning

" Management and Implementation

" Operational Trouble shooting and Feedback

10.2.3 INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR INTERNAL MONITORING

For internal monitoring the following information will be required:

• Individual files on each project affected person

• Grievance record

• Action Plan and Progress reports

10.2.4 MONITORING REPORTING SYSTEMS

Crisis and day-to-day management and monitoring management will reqmre its own

improved action plans, regular coordination and onsite training sessions and a

Management Information System (MIS) as internal system. It also requires

troubleshooters and informal networks of feed back from the communities, NGOs, M&E

agencies and other government bodies. Physical monitoring of services and finance in the

system to ensure management and financing functions in a timely and effective manner.

Monitoring and verification of the quantifiable progress ofthe resettlement programme to

indicate the timeliness of the financial disbursements already agreed to and deviations

from the critical path for all project components and the required integrated arrangements

to resettle PAPs will be done throughout the project cycle. The SMU will produce

monthly and quarterly progress report for resettlement plan implementation.

10.2.5 INDICATORS FOR MONITORING

Monitoring is a continuous process and will be carried out by ESMU on regular basis to keep

track of the R&R progress. For this purpose, the indicators suggested under project input, project

activity and project output have been given in table 1 0.1.

10.3 EXTERNAL EVALUATION

After the end of resettlement activities, an independent agency will conduct an evaluation

study of affected Persons to determine whether or not the objectives of the RP in terms of

restoration of incomes and living standards have been achieved. The methodology for the

evaluation study should be based on the follow-up socioeconomic survey to determine

the impact of the project on income levels and living standards of the affected people.

Social and economic assessments of the results of delivered entitlements and a

measurement of the income and standards of living of the PAPs before and after

resettlement are integral components of this activity. Should the findings of the study

indicate that the objectives of the economic rehabilitation have not been achieved; the

consultant should propose appropriate additional assistance that may be necessary to

achieve the stated objectives.

10.3.1 OBJECTIVES OF EXTERNAL EVALUATION

The primary objectives of the external evaluation are:

• To evaluate that the income and standard ofliving ofthe PAPs vis-a-vis pre project scenario.

• To assess the effectiveness of process and procedure adopted in implementation

• To assess the timely distribution of compensation and assistance to the PAPs

• To evaluate the performance ofNGO in dealing with PAPs and PAPs opinion about the N GO services

• To suggest any changes or improvement required for better result

10.3.2 INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR EXTERNAL EVALUATION

The following information is mainly required to facilitate external monitoring:

• Sample survey (to be conducted by M&E agency)

• Case studies/Thematic studies/Issue based research (to be conducted by M&E agency)

• Participatory research (to be carried out by M&E agency)

• Target group monitoring (to be carried out by M&E agency)

10.3.3 EVALUATION REPORTING SYSTEMS

Observing and appraising various specific parameters and processes as objectively as

possible will be carried out. Periodic evaluation of these would indicate where and when

policy changes could occur or where deficiencies in implementation method or style are

apparent. The boundaries of this assessment will need the agency to examine the

multiplier effects and linkages outside the project definition of affected people and areas.

The outcome evaluation will be carried out twice during the implementation of RAP,

midterm and post implementation. Impact evaluation will look at all the effected

populations; self-relocate; assisted resettled population; host population. Further, this

larger population will be broken down into vulnerable segments of each population.

Impact evaluation will be carried out on randomly selected segment of population. The

external agency will submit monthly progress report and final report to the Rajasthan

Road Development Corporation.

10.3.4 INDICATORS FOR EVALUATION

The list of impact performance indicators suggested to monitor project objectives is

delineated in table 1 0.2. However, the evaluation agency can add or delete indicators in

consultation with Rajasthan Public Works Development I World Bank.

CHAPTERll

IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT AND SCHEDULE

11.1 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENT

Involuntary resettlement is a sensitive problem and expenence in R&R matters will be

required by the PIU, R&R Cell. A good rapport with the affected community will facilitate a

satisfactory R&R of the PAPs and minimize disturbance particularly physical and economic.

PWD may engage an experienced Implementation Support Agency in this field to assist the

respective funding agency in the implementation of the RAP.

The Implementation Support Agency (ISA) will work as a link between the PIU - R & R

Cell and the affected community. The ISA will educate the PAPs on the need to implement

the Project, on aspects relating to LA and R & R measures and ensure proper utilization of

various compensations extended to the PAPs under the R & R entitlement package. ISA may

be a NGO. NGO Consultancy will be to facilitate the resettlement process.

The broad objectives will be to:

• Educate PAPs on their rights, entitlements, and obligations under the RAP;

• Ensuring that PAPs receive their full entitlements;

• Where, options are available the NGO shall provide advice to PAPs on relative

benefits of each option;

• Assist PAPs on Grievance Redressal through the established system; and

• Collect data as required and decided with PIU to help PIU to monitor and assess

progress;

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

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

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

Implementation Support Agency) engaged in implementing the various activities. Following

such an analysis; the risks and benefits shall be explained, to the PAPs and sufficient time

given to them to make an informed choice. In choosing between different options, whether it

is cash compensation or various rehabilitation schemes, the PWD and funding shall make use

of the baseline socio-economic survey data, and ensure that those PAPs considered

vulnerable are encouraged to choose the options entailing the lowest risk.

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

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

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

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

additional assistance or support towards different activities need be given.

In order to carry out such tasks, the employees of the Implementation Support Agency are to

be stationed in the project area. Besides contacting the PAPs on an individual basis to

regularly update the baseline information, group meetings and village-level meetings will be

conducted by the Implementation Support Agency on a regular basis. The frequencies of such

meetings will depend on the requirements of the PAPs but should occur at least once a

month. The Implementation Support Agency will have to encourage participation of individual

PAPs in such meeting by discussing their problems regarding R & R and other aspects

relating to their socio-economic lives. Such participation will make it easier to find a solution

acceptable to all involved.

11.2 RAP IMPLEMENTATION

The implementation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is primarily envisaged, as a

participatory exercise where the consulting Implementation Support Agency is responsible for

the implementation of RAP is expected to play a role of secondary stakeholder or in other

words the implementing agency would be a partner in the whole exercise.

The role of the implementing Implementation Support Agency would be to mitigate the

adverse effects of the project, both, from the PWD perspective, to ensure timely completion

of the road construction, and, from the perspective of affected people, to ensure that their

rehabilitation process is taken up in a right spirit with a comprehensive livelihood system and

these people are able to take advantages of the options available. The prime responsibility of

the implementing agency is to ensure that each and every eligible project affected person

receive appropriate and due entitlement within the overall framework of R & R policy and

entitlement matrix and the PAPs have improved (or at least restored) their previous standard

of living by the end of the RAP implementation process.

The other responsibilities include:

• Working in co-ordination with the PWD and NGO (alternatively called the SDS

and assist him/ her in carrying out the implementation of the RAP;

• To co-ordinate with the DLCs and ORCs in implementing the RAP;

• Coordinate the meetings of the District level committee for approval of the micro

plans wherever required.

• Assist the SDS m undertaking all public meetings, information

campaigns at the commencement of the project and give full information to the

affected community;

• Translate the R&R objectives and guidelines to implement actions for mitigating

adverse impacts on the PAPs;

• Assist the Engineers (Supervision Consultants) to ensure that the Contracts

comply with the applicable labour laws (including prohibition of child labour) and

gender issues;

• Assist the PIU and /or the Engineers in ensuring compliance with the safety, health

and hygiene norms, and the RAP actions proposed for HIV I AIDS

awareness/prevention campaigns.

• Report to SDS on a monthly basis, and quarterly basis including physical and

financial progress, both in terms of quantitative and qualitative aspects and the

problems and issues addressed and tackled with the PAPs and the solutions found

especially focusing the women's issues their problems and what has been done (within

the framework of the RAP) to ensure their participation in decision-making as well

as the options made available for them to access economic opportunities,

marketing and credit.

• Data base management of the PAPs.

• Videography and digital photography cost required for implementation of the RAP.

• Facilitate PAPs for the Income Generation Scheme training and to ensure that

the provisions made for training component are best utilized.

11.3 STAGES OF RAP IMPLEMENTATION: A Methodological Framework

The objective of the project is to strengthen the existing road infrastructure aimed at

economic and social development of the region. One of the key activities in the project cycle

is the implementation of Resettlement Action Plan with an objective of minimising the

adverse impact of the project implementation on the lives of people living in the project

area. The R & R policy envisages that the project-affected families (PAFs) are to be

resettled and rehabilitated so that the adyerse impact due to proposed improvement of the

road gets minimized.

11.3.1 Training and Capacity Building of Project Staff

As a first step, it is essential to build the capacity of our staff i.e. Team Leader,

Supervisors, Engineers, Village level workers etc. The aspects of training to be imparted

would include social impact assessment survey, conducting focus group discussions,

community participation, PRA I RRA, relocation of common property resources etc.

11.3.2 Focus Group Discussion, Awareness Campaign and Dissemination of Information

In order to make the RAP implementation process transparent as per WB guidelines, a

series of FGDs I meetings etc would be organised with all stakeholders for dissemination

of information regarding rehabilitation process and entitlement framework. The RAP policy

will be printed in Hindi language as well as English and the same will be distributed to the

PAFs in order to make the process transparent.

11.3.3 Identification, verification and updating of PAP Census

The work include identification, verification and updating that will be done through door-to

door socio-economic impact assessment survey, through personal interview of each head of

the household of PAPs by field staff under the direct supervision of the other staff and overall

guidance of the Team Leader. The verified and updated information of PAPs will be

processed in the computer and the database for the same would be created which would also

help in effective monitoring of the overall process of resettlement action plan

implementation. The final output of this exercise would be a profile of each PAP with

socio-economic indicators like demography, income, occupation, nature, extent, value of

losses, details of entitlement etc. This information will be useful for preparing and issuing

identity cards to the PAPs.

11.3.4 Micro Plans for Non-title and Title Holders

The micro plans will be prepared for Title Holders (TH) and Non-title Holders (NTH)

(kiosks, squatters and tenant) as per the entitlement matrix.

11.3.5 Entitlement cum Identity Card

In order to keep transparency in system, the entitlement-cum-identity card indicating type of

loss and entitlement will be provided to each PAF.

11.3.6 Opening of Bank Account and Disbursement of Assistance

The next critical step in this process would be in the form of assistance to the respective

agency I PWD for opening up of the bank account of PAPs. The bank account would be

opened in the joint name of husband and wife. The assistance will be disbursed only on the

basis of the recommendations of the field staff and PWD officials based on the community

centered transparent mechanisms.

11.3. 7 Measurement, valuation of private structure and common property resources

One of the important aspects of the project as envisaged by us would be measurement and

valuation of structure. The measurement and valuation of different structures like private

houses, schools, colleges, religious structures like temple, mosque would need to be done

by our engineering team. The current applicable Schedule of Rates would be the basis for

valuation of the structures. The community structure will either be relocated to a new area

and the community's decisions would form the basis of rebuilding such structures.

11.3.8 Rehabilitation of Affected Families and Restoration of Income and Livelihood

Rehabilitation of all the P AFs is one of the critical tasks of the project implementation

process in order to help the communities derive the maximum benefits out of the project

without loosing their livelihoods and the least impact on socio-cultural aspects of their lives.

It includes livelihood analysis, preparation and implementation of a comprehensive livelihood

support plan and development of a comprehensive livelihood support system. This process

must result in improved or at least restored living standards, earning capacity or improve the

quality of life of the people affected by the project.

Accordingly, rehabilitation will be conceived and shall be implemented as a development

programme with particular attention to the needs of women headed households and vulnerable

groups.

The effort of the Implementation Support Agency shall be to improve the PAPs economic

productive capacity and building up a permanent capacity for self-development. One of the

key strategies would be to facilitate inclusion of PAPs, if not already included, in the existing

Self Help Groups (SHGs) within the locality/neighborhood. The members of the existing

SHGs shall be persuaded by the Implementation Support Agency for the inclusion of the

PAPs. The other way would be to form SHGs of PAPs exclusively for upgrading/ restoration

of livelihood. SGSY is self-employment program for rural poor. SHGs are formed based on

common interest. The objective of the program is to bring the self-employed above poverty

line by providing the income generating assets through bank credit and government subsidy.

Formation of SHG of PAPs exclusively, would be possible where enough PAPs are available.

Organizing the economic activities would be according to the skills possessed by the

affected families and in case the affected P AFs wants to shift to other suitable /viable

economic activity for enhancement of their livelihood, the corresponding skill up gradation

training would be arranged by the Implementation Support Agency in accordance with the

entitlement with the help of PIU & District Authority". The PAPs will be free to choose to

act as individuals or as informal groups like SHGs for accessing credit, Milk Producer

Groups (MPGs), Agriculture Commodities (like vegetable, pulse, wheat) Processing Groups

etc or as co-operatives, with their overall operating efficiency and viability of the livelihood

options chosen by them. The cost for imparting necessary training for livelihood and

Income up gradation is included in R&R budget.

In context of the socio-economic profile of the regwn, their existing act1v1ty base and

the skills, efforts will also be made to ensure that the groups are resettled in a manner so that

their backward and forward linkages in the activities performed by them are maintained and

they are provided support in improving their income through support of other government

sponsored programs also.

11.3.9 IEC for HIVIAIDS

11.4

11.4.1

One of the important objectives of the project is to reduce the vulnerability on health

aspect especially, HIV I AIDS. Officials of Rajasthan State AIDS Control Society (RSACS) in

the project districts were consulted. It was informed that several health awareness

programmes with the help ofNGOs are being implemented in the project area. Besides, an

intervention project funded by National Aids control Organization (NACO) is being

implementation with the help ofNGOs in the project influence area. They also have services

available for testing and treatment with special focus on the women and the youth.

Under the project awareness generation about HIV/AIDS along the project road section

(covering schools, Dhabas, public places, bus stops, and other suitable locations) has been

included as one of the important components of the project. The responsibility of carrying out

the awareness generation activities on HIV I AIDS has been included in the scope of work

of Implementation Support Agency. The Implementation Support Agency engaged for the

implementation of RAP with support from PIU, will establish contact and collaborate with

concerned agencies (District Administration) to extend the advantage of the on-going

programmes (awareness generation activities and holding of camps) along the project road

section targeting road users. labour

CHAPTER-12

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

12. 1 NEED FOR GRIEVANCE REDRESS

A griyvance is indignation or resentment stemming from a feeling of having been

wronged. In case of projects involving land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, the

grievance procedure and appeal mechanism are an important aspect related to R & R of

the P AFs. The Land Acquisition Act has provisions at different stages of the land

acquisition process for the affected persons to object to the proposed acquisition of land

and other properties, etc. It also allows the affected persons to receive compensation

under protest and to approach the court for settlement.

While an affected person cannot challenge the land acquisition by Government (which

involves a "public purpose") in court, an aggrieved person may go to a court of law in

order to challenge the amount of compensation. Experience shows that litigation causes

unnecessary delays and cost overruns in many projects. Keeping in mind the legal

procedures involving such cases, each CMU will constitute a committee for grievance

redress, which will provide a forum for people to express their dissatisfaction over

compensation and R & R provisions. It does not imply that the affected people will be

debarred from approaching the court on the compensation issue.

Though there is a provision for redress of grievances of PAPs in all aspects relating to

Land Acquisition (LA) and payment of compensation in Rehabilitation Action Plan,

various provision under LA act enable aggrieved EPs at different stages of LA to

represent their cases to Land Acquisition Officer or even refer to court for redress and

seek higher compensation. The most common reason for delay in implementation of

projects is grievance of people losing land. Considering this, Grievance Redress

Committee (GRC) will be formed much in advance in order to address the grievances of

aggrieved persons.

12.2 GRIEVANCE REDRESS COMMITTEE

12. 2.1 District Level Committee (DLC)

A District Level Committee will be formed to meet at periodic interval to review the

progress of land acquisition and facilitate implementation of the RAP in the district.

District Level Committee would comprise of the following members:

• Deputy Commissioner (Chairman)

• Land Acquisition Officer

• Executive Engineer (PWD)

• NGO

• The Chairman of Block Samities

•· The Mayor/Chairman/President of Municipal Corporation/Municipal

Committee/Nagar Panchayat/Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation/

Executive Officer.

• A representative of PAPs.

The RSRSP (Rajasthan State Road Sector Modernization Project) will constitute a

Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at each CMU within two months of

commencement of the implementation of the project. The objective of the GRCs is to

settle as many disputes as possible through consultations. The GRC will comprise a

maximum of four members, headed by a retired judge of the area. Other members would

include a retired revenue officer from the locality, a retired PWD engineer, and a

representative ofNGO. The broad functions of the GRC are the following:

• Record the grievances of P AFs, categories and priorities them and provide

solution to their grievances related to land and property acquisition.

• If required, the GRC would undertake site visit, ask for relevant information from

the project authorities, other government and non-government agencies, etc.

• Fix a time frame within the stipulated time period of 60 days to resolve the

gnevances.

• Inform the aggrieved parties through the NGO about the development of their

respective cases and their decision to the project authorities and the aggrieved

parties as well.

12.3 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

NGO representatives (NGOs contracted for the project implementation) will assist the

PAFs bring their grievances before the GRC for redress. The main objective is to provide

a step-by-step process for registering and addressing the grievances. It is expected that

this mechanism will ensure redress to the aggrieved party. The PAFs will have access to

the GRC that will function throughout the project period.

The objective of GRC is to settle as many disputes through consultation and to reduce the

number of court cases. NGO contracted by the project would help the PAPs in bringing

out their cases before the GRC for Redressal. It is expected that the NGO and social

development officer and EP will try to resole the case amicably before approaching the

GRC. If the EP is not satisfied with the preliminary level ofRedressal outcome, the NGO

shall forward the case to GRC for formal proceeding. The GRC would hear complaints

lodged by Project Affected Persons and facilitate solutions. The GRC may undertake

field investigation with concerned PAPs, if required. The GRC will resolve the

grievances of the eligible persons within the stipulated time period (one month). The

response time prescribed for GRC is 15 days. Since the entire resettlement component of

the project has to be completed before the start of civil construction, the GRC will meet

at least once in a month. However, the GRC may meet more frequently depending upon

the number of cases. The decision of the GRC will be final, unless vacated by court of

law. The decision of the GRC will not be binding for PAP to take recourse to the civil

court if he/she so desires. The GRC will continue to function, for the benefit of the PAPs,

during the entire cycle of the project including the defects liability periods. The NGO will

maintain the grievance record for each and every case.

11. 4 RESPONSE TIME

The GRC will hear grievances once in a month. However, as the entire resettlement and

rehabilitation process has to be completed before road construction work starts, the GRC

may meet frequently and more than once every month, depending upon the number of

such cases. The GRC will inform the concerned Entitled Person/P AF of their decision

within 60 days of the hearing of the grievances. It is, however, noted that the decision of

the GRC will not be binding on the PAF, who may approach the civil courts for redress

of his grievances

CHAPTER-12

GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

12. 1 NEED FOR GRIEVANCE REDRESS

A grievance is indignation or resentment stemming from a feeling of having been

wronged. In case of projects involving land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, the

grievance procedure and appeal mechanism are an important aspect related to R & R of

the P AFs. The Land Acquisition Act has provisions at different stages of the land

acquisition process for the affected persons to object to the proposed acquisition of land

and other properties, etc. It also allows the affected persons to receive compensation

under protest and to approach the court for settlement.

'While an affected person cannot challenge the land acquisition by Government (which

involves a "public purpose") in court, an aggrieved person may go to a court of law in

order to challenge the amount of compensation. Experience shows that litigation causes

unnecessary delays and cost overruns in many projects. Keeping in mind the legal

procedures involving such cases, each CMU will constitute a committee for grievance

redress, which will provide a forum for people to express their dissatisfaction over

compensation and R & R provisions. It does not imply that the affected people will be

debarred from approaching the court on the compensation issue.

Though there is a provision for redress of grievances of PAPs in all aspects relating to

Land Acquisition (LA) and payment of compensation in Rehabilitation Action Plan,

various provision under LA act enable aggrieved EPs at different stages of LA to

represent their cases to Land Acquisition Officer or even refer to court for redress and

seek higher compensation. The most common reason for delay in implementation of

projects is grievance of people losing land. Considering this, Grievance Redress

Committee (GRC) will be formed much in advance in order to address the grievances of

aggrieved persons.

12.2 GRIEVANCE REDRESS COMMITTEE

12. 2.1 District Level Committee (DLC)

A District Level Committee will be formed to meet at periodic interval to review the

progress of land acquisition and facilitate implementation of the RAP in the district.

District Level Committee would comprise of the following members:

• Deputy Commissioner (Chairman)

• Land Acquisition Officer

• Executive Engineer (PWD)

• NGO

• The Chairman of Block Samities

• The Mayor/Chairman/President of Municipal Corporation/Municipal

Committee/Nagar Panchayat/Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation/

Executive Officer.

• A representative of PAPs.

The RSRSP (Rajasthan State Road Sector Modernization Project) will constitute a

Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at each CMU within two months of

commencement of the implementation of the project. The objective of the GRCs is to

settle as many disputes as possible through consultations. The GRC will comprise a

maximum of four members, headed by a retired judge of the area. Other members would

include a retired revenue officer from the locality, a retired PWD engineer, and a

representative ofNGO. The broad functions of the GRC are the following:

• Record the grievances of P AFs, categories and priorities them and provide

solution to their grievances related to land and property acquisition.

• If required, the GRC would undertake site visit, ask for relevant information from

the project authorities, other government and non-government agencies, etc.

• Fix a time frame within the stipulated time period of 60 days to resolve the

gnevances.

• Inform the aggrieved parties through the NGO about the development of their

respective cases and their decision to the project authorities and the aggrieved

parties as well.

12.3 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

NGO representatives (NGOs contracted for the project implementation) will assist the

P AFs bring their grievances before the GRC for redress. The main objective is to provide

a step-by-step process for registering and addressing the grievances. It is expected that

this mechanism will ensure redress to the aggrieved party. The PAFs will have access to

the GRC that will function throughout the project period.

The objective of GRC is to settle as many disputes through consultation and to reduce the

number of court cases. NGO contracted by the project would help the PAPs in bringing

out their cases before the GRC for Redressal. It is expected that the NGO and social

development officer and EP will try to resole the case amicably before approaching the

GRC. Ifthe EP is not satisfied with the preliminary level ofRedressal outcome, the NGO

shall forward the case to GRC for formal proceeding. The GRC would hear complaints

lodged by Project Affected Persons and facilitate solutions. The GRC may undertake

field investigation with concerned PAPs, if required. The GRC will resolve the

grievances of the eligible persons within the stipulated time period (one month). The

response time prescribed for GRC is 15 days. Since the entire resettlement component of

the project has to be completed before the start of civil construction, the GRC will meet

at least once in a month. However, the GRC may meet more frequently depending upon

the number of cases. The decision of the GRC will be final, unless vacated by court of

law. The decision of the GRC will not be binding for PAP to take recourse to the civil

court ifhe/she so desires. The GRC will continue to function, for the benefit ofthe PAPs,

during the entire cycle of the project including the defects liability periods. The NGO will

maintain the grievance record for each and every case.

11. 4 RESPONSE TIME

The GRC will hear grievances once in a month. However, as the entire resettlement and

rehabilitation process has to be completed before road construction work starts, the GRC

may meet frequently and more than once every month, depending upon the number of

such cases. The GRC will inform the concerned Entitled Person!P AF of their decision

within 60 days of the hearing of the grievances. It is, however, noted that the decision of

the GRC will not be binding on the PAF, who may approach the civil courts for redress

of his grievances
