GLOSSARY

Compensation: Payment in cash or in kind for an asset or a resource that is acquired or affected by a project at the time the asset needs to be replaced.

Cut-off date: The completion date of the census of project-displaced persons is usually considered the cut-off date. A cut-off date is normally established by the borrower government procedures that establish the eligibility for receiving compensation and resettlement assistance by the project displaced persons. In the absence of such procedures, the borrower/client will establish a cut-off date for eligibility.

Displaced Persons: In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.

Entitlement: Resettlement entitlements with respect to a particular eligibility category are the sum total of compensation and other forms of assistance provided to displaced persons in the respective eligibility category.

Host communities: Communities receiving physically displaced persons of a project as resettlers.

Income restoration: Re-establishing productive livelihood of the displaced persons to enable income generation equal to or, if possible, better than that earned by the displaced persons before the resettlement.

Meaningful consultation: A process that (i) begins early in the project preparation stage and is carried out on an ongoing basis throughout the project cycle; (ii) provides timely disclosure of relevant and adequate information that is understandable and readily accessible to affected people; (iii) is undertaken in an atmosphere free of intimidation or coercion; (iv) is gender inclusive and responsive, and tailored to the needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups; and (v) enables the incorporation of all relevant views of affected people and other stakeholders into decision making, such as project design, mitigation measures, the sharing of development benefits and opportunities, and implementation issues.

Physical displacement: Relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas.

Replacement Cost: Replacement cost involves replacing an asset at a cost prevailing at the time of its acquisition. This includes fair market value, transaction costs, interest accrued, transitional and restoration costs, and any other applicable payments, if any. Depreciation of assets and structures should not be taken into account for replacement cost. Where there are no active market conditions, replacement cost is equivalent to delivered cost of all building materials, labour cost for construction, and any transaction or relocation costs.

Relocation assistance: Support provided to persons who are physically displaced by a project. Relocation assistance may include transportation, food, shelter, and social services that are provided to the displaced persons during their relocation. It may also include cash allowances that compensate displaced persons for the inconvenience associated with resettlement and defray the expenses of a transition to a new locale, such as moving expenses and lost work days.

Public Works Department (PWD), Government of Rajasthan (GoR) is implementing Rajasthan State Highway Development Program (RSHDP) which aims to improve about 20000 km of State Highways and Major District Roads (MDR) to 2-lane or intermediate lane standard.

2. As part of RSHDP, about 2000 km of State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDR)have been included under ADB financial assistance, as Rajasthan State Highways Investment Program (RSHIP) to improve the efficiency and safety of road transport in the state of Rajasthan.

3. 2000 Km of road sections proposed to be developed under ADB financial assistance, nearly 1000 Km have been identified under Tranche-1 in four different Packages. The project roads are to be constructed under two modalities i) three Packages in Annuity mode with a combined combined length of 745.269 km and ii) One Package in EPC mode with a length of 233.690 km. The total road length under Tranche -1 is 978.959 km costing Rs. 1944.220 crore.

4. In Tranche-2 four contract packages are in EPC mode and two contract packages in DBOT Hybrid Annuity Mode basis are proposed. Tranche- 2 will finance the upgrading of 754.563 km of State Highways and continue supporting the capacity building of PPP Division of the PWD particularly on safeguards implementation and monitoring and road safety. Tranche- 2 is included in ADB’s country operations business plan for India, 2019–2021. The combined length of six packages is 754.563 km and the proposed cost of Tranche-2 packages is Rs. 1866.250 crore in eleven roads. Tranche-2 DBOT Hybrid annuity mode four EPC contract packages have been awarded between February 2019 to November 2019.

5. The Executing Agency for the project has been the State Government of Rajasthan acting through PPP Division of PWD, GoR. The PPP division of PWD, headed by Additional Chief Engineer, has establish project implementation unit (PIU) for contract packages of project roads in their respective areas. Each contract package has been undertaken by the Concessionaire/ Contractor for execution and supervised by Independent Engineer/ Authority Engineer.

II. Overall Objectives

▪ RSHIP will improve the Efficiency and Safety of Transport on the State Highways of Rajasthan, thereby providing Good Quality and Connectivity for Social and Economic Activities.

▪ RSHIP will enhance the Capacity Building of Public Works Department by preparing and Piloting streamlined business process and procedures for Road Asset Management., Road Safety and Project Management.

III. Social Safeguard Categorization

6. The Project is classified as 'A' for involuntary resettlement (IR) as per the Safeguards Policy Statement(SPS), 2009. The project will trigger resettlement impactsmainly resulting from land acquisition,demolition of structures (residential and commercial), CPR,Tenantas well as auxiliary structures belonging to Non-Titled Households (NTH). The approved social safeguard categories for Loan 3815-IND: Rajasthan State Highway Improvement Program –Tranche-2is “A” for involuntary resettlement (IR); and “C” for Indigenous Peoples (IP). The Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 is applicable for the Project.The identification and verification of affected households yet to be start.

IV. Purpose of the Report:

7. The main objective of this monitoring report is to supervise the sub-project impacts and to determine whether resettlement goals have been achieved and more importantly whether livelihood and living standard have been restored as well as enhanced suggesting the suitable recommendations for improvement. This report covers resettlement and social safeguard monitoring results to comply with the spirit of ADB policy to ‘enhance stakeholders’ trust ‘in and ability to engage with ADB, and thereby increase the development impact (of projects) in which disclosure of safeguard monitoring is a prominent aspect.



V. Monitoring Period

8. This consolidated report outlines monitoring the implementation of social safeguard activities during January 2020 -June 2020.

VI. Project details for Tranche-2

9. The project involves rehabilitation/reconstruction and widening of eleven existing roads totaling 754.563 kmin length. The PWD has prepared eleven Resettlement Plans (RP) during the processing of the loan with the objective to assist the affected people in improving or at least restoring their living standards to the pre-impacted level. The 11 RPs capture the involuntary resettlement impacts arising out of the proposed improvements to eleven roads. Details of sub-projects are provided in Table 1 and the index Map is presented in Figure 1.

VII. Resettlement Impact and Implementation

10. The towns and villages along the road sub-projects would have improved connectivity with State Highways (SH), National Highways (NH), major trading, educational and administrative centres. Further, the improved road will reduce the travel time to the residents of this area to work place, schools, hospitals and markets. Agriculturist too will benefit by being able to quickly transport their produce without delay and can expect buyers coming to their doorstep to procure food grains. Better connectivity to the SH/NH will lead to industrial growth along the sub-project road that will result in employment generation. However, the sub-project will require private land and removal of encroachments and squatting for improving the road, resulting in negative impacts to some people living along the corridor.

1. LAImpacts in Tranche-2Project as perADB approved RPs

11. Involuntary resettlement impacts have been identified in all 11 sub-projects under Tranche-2 Project. Resettlement Plan (RP) for each sub project has been prepared in September-2018describing the adverse social impacts, mitigation measures proposed, estimates of compensation & R&R assistances and entitlement matrix delineating the provisions made to eligible persons due to the project implementation.

12. Both road ofEPC Package 02Sadulshahar - Sangaria – ChaiyanRoad ,Bidasar - Sri Dungargarh - Kalu andone road of annuity Package 01(NH-12 – Laxmipura – Dora – Dabi –Ranaji Ka Guda (Mining) have no land acquisition. In these three roads there are impacts on Non Title holders,private trees and CPRs only.

13. One road of each package EPC 01(Jodhpur- Sojat Road),EPC 04(Siwana - Samdari – Balesar),Annuity 01 (Beawar – Masuda – Goyla)and both road of anniuity package 02(Nasirabad-Mangliawas-Padukalan and Beawar-Pisangan-Govindgarh-Tahla-Kot-Alniyawas)have no impact on non title holders,but in these 5 roads impact due to Land acquisitionis envisaged.

14. The available right-of-way has been fully considered for the proposed improvement and the existing right-of-way (RoW) for the road section were determined using village maps and verified at site. Since the available RoW is not sufficient to meet the design cross section for the proposed intermediate/2-lanning, the road construction would entail acquisition of private land resulting in adverse impacts to households. The private land requiredin 08 roads for the improvements is 123.0625Ha. The private land proposed for acquisition is mostly strips of land, with the width varying from 5-10m, and abetting the existing road. Further, government land will be required to be transferred for the proposed improvements. In the following Table-2 land acquisition in RPs of respective packages have been provided.

1Where the impact to structure is less than 10 percent of the total area or impact is only to the boundary wall, then such impacts are categorized as

non-significant impacts as the DP is neither physically nor economically displaced



16. All the 11 RPs will be updated after final SIA data. The SIA data will be finalized after appraisal by an Expert Group. The revised data on impacted people and properties will be the basis of RP implementation during project implementation of Tranche-2 Project.

3. Actual Resettlement Impacts and Implementation

17. The land acquisition process has been started by the concerned land acquisition officer and is in a very early stage. Implementation of RP has not been started due to delays in the recruitment of implementing NGO. The NGO shall verify the information already contained in the RP & the individual losses of the DPs and validate the data as well as make a joint verification with PIU on changes required if any, along with documentary evidence. Wherever required, NGO would update the census and socio-economic survey data and census and socio-economic survey questionnaire, if there are DPs who have been not covered during baseline survey and in particular the titleholders from whom land is being acquired.

3.1 Land Acquisitionas per RP andSocial Impact Assessment

18. Out of 11 sub project roads, land acquisition is not envisaged in 3 sub project roads. The remaining 8 roads having LA requirement include 4 roads of EPC packages and 4 roads of annuity packages, the process of land acquisition is in initial stage, i.e. under Section 11(Preliminary Notification for Acquisition), Section7 of LA Act ( appraisal of SIA report by the expert group ) or Section 4(1)(Requisitions for acquisition and notification for SIA . Package-wise details of LA status have been presented in Table 4.

VIII. Procedure for Implementation of RP

1. Land Acquisition

24. In Tranche-2, the land will be acquired in the same manner as in Tranche-1 following the procedures of RFCTLARR Act and the provisions of approved entitlement matrix in the resettlement plans. The process of land acquisition involves submission of land requisition to DC by acquiring body (RPWD), conducting SIA, and engaging the State Machinery (District Collectorate and Revenue Department) as Land is a State Subject and its acquisition for Public Purpose (such as developing infrastructure like road networks in the State) is vested solely with the District Administration where the District Collector (DC) acquires the land from the private owner and hands over to the EA. The process of LA ends with disbursement of payment to the private owner, possession of land by the DC and finally handing over the parcel of land to the EA.

25. As shown in the status Table 4, the process of land acquisition in Tranche-2 is in initial stage, i.e. under Section 11( Preliminary Notification for Acquisition), Section 7 of LA Act ( appraisal of SIA report by the expert group ) or Section 4(1)( Requisitions for acquisition and notification for SIA ).

2. Acquisition of Structures from Non-Titleholders (NTH) and Community Property Resources (CPR)

26. This is a very important aspect of RP implementation which involves clearing of ROW occupied by non-titleholder (NTH) occupants for various purposes like living in residences, establishing commercial structures like shops and the likes. Moreover, CPRs like temples, mosques, churches or community sitting areas or chabutras, water tanks, tube-wells, wells etc. which are used for community purposes but not owned by any individual are also needed to be demolished / dismantled to clear the ROW for the purpose of project implementation.

27. All the structures of the NTH identified under the RP will be surveyed and verified at the ground by implementing NGO. Several activities required as part of RP implementation will be conducted by the staff of IAs/PIUs, who were assisted by NGOs and PMC. Such activities include conducting consultations with DPs and other stakeholders, disclosure of entitlement matrix, dissemination of project information, identification and verification of DPs, preparation of Micro-Plans (MPs), preparation and distribution of identity cards (IDs), opening of Bank Accounts of DPs where needed, compensation and assistance in disbursement, coordination with DPs, experts of PMC, officials of revenue and line departments, organizing GRC meetings, data collection for monitoring and reporting, updation of RPs as required, etc. At the field level, along with the PIU officials, NGOs performed major role in carrying out these and other activities required for RPs implementation. However, as NGO is yet to be appointed under Tranche- 2 Sub-projects RP implementation for affected non-titleholder DPs could not be initiated.

3. Selection of Implementing NGO

28. Evaluation of technical proposal for hiring of RP implementing NGO was completed ,due to complaints received by govt. of Rajasthan, bid evaluation committee cancelled the bid on 11.03.2020 and fresh Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) was published on 29 june 2020 with the 30 th July as last date for submission of proposal and pre-bid meeting on 10 th July

4. Information Disclosure

29. The leaflet summarizing the project information, impacts, eligibility criteria, Entitlement Matrix (EM) was translated in the local language (Hindi). The leaflets were made available by the office of ACE(PPP) vide letter no.7(143)SHA/PPP/2015/D-79 dated 16.04.2019 to the PD, PIUs. The copy of the leaflet distributed for Tranche- 1 which have similar entitlement has been provided as Annexure 1Distribution of leaflet for Tranche- 2 project is pending due to non availiability of NGO. RPs were disclosed on the ADB websites.

5. Public Consultations

30. Regular public consultations are very much necessary to implement the RPs in a proper and smooth manner.. During the reporting period, initial consultations were done by PMC Resettlement Expert and Environmental expert in February 2020. From March 2020consultations could not be organized due to COVID-19 pandemic situation. The major issues raised by NTHs and other stakeholders are given below:



a. Compensation

b. Valuation of the impacted structure at market rate and accordingly disbursement of enhanced compensation amount;

c. Local people should be employed in the project works;

d. Avoid impact in busy markets and congested locations;

e. Provide speed breakers near the school and other public places; and

f. Construct drainage along the road in the market and built-up areas.

6. Land Available for Civil Work

32. As per ADB SPS 2009 norms no DP or CPR will be dislocated unless and until these are compensated fully and supported with resettlement assistances.

33. Since the Implementation of RP has been not started, the Concessionaire/contractor has been provided vacant stretches of subprojects to work where there is no involuntary resettlement impact. However, the Concessionaire will not work in settlement areas where RP has not been implemented fully and the areas are declared free from encumbrances.LA is in initial phase and payment of NTH has not been started, status of road length free from encumbrances as confirmed by PIU is depicted in Table No. 9.
