EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 BACKGROUND Roads and Buildmgs Department (RBD) o f the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has entrusted the responsibhty of planning, construction and maintenance of the core state roads network to the Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporat ion (APRDC). In order to improve the selected core roads network, APRDC has planned to provide better quality and safer roads to the road users on a sustainable basis. In t h i s context, APRDC i s seeking the World Bank funding for the proposed Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project (APRSP). T h i s i s in continuation to the earlier loan from the Bank for improving the core ne twork in the state. As part o f t h l s project preparation, A P R D C engaged Feasibility consultants to prepare a detailed project report of about 900 km of road stretches whdi 'included under tahng social assessment and preparation of Resettlement Ac t i on Plan (RAP). As per the requirements of Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabllttation Policy (APRRP) 2005, an RAP i s required to b e prepared to assess the impacts resulting from the proposed road improvements. T h e document in hand deals about the Social Management Plan ( S M P ) of Kand-Sadhnagar (KS) road (about 69 km) and it i s one o f the sub-projects (also referred as package) proposed to be covered in the Year 1 of the project implementation.

2 ABOUTAPRSP T h e proposed project (APRSP) envisions following three components:

Component A - Road Improvement: Based on traffic studies, this road improvement component has been subdivided into the following sub-components

(i) Road improvement and tlpgruhtion: Based on core ne twork analysis, APRDC has selected about 900 km of road for widening, upgradation and strengthening purposes. These roads will b e constructed by loan assistance from the World Bank.

(ii) Ptlblic- Pniate Pudnersh$(PPP): APRDC has selected about 1200 km of high traff ic density road on PPP mode involving private entrepreneurship

(iii) Otltptlt and Pefomance based Road Contracts (OPRC) : About 6500 km of roads have been selected under th i s sub-component.

Component B - Institutional Strengthening component: T h i s component d facilitate operationalization o f APRDC, capacity builhng of APRDC. Component C - Road safety component: This component wdl help A P R D C / R B D towards better management o f traffic and other road safety issues through improved technical solutions.

3 OBJECTIVES

T h e main objectives o f the proposed S M P are the following:

0

Avoid, i f not minimize involuntary resettlement, exploring al l viable project alternatives;

Where involuntary resettlement i s unavoidable, assess the magmtude o f adverse social impacts and propose mit igation measures;

Hold consultations with the project stakeholders and consultations in S M P ;

Develop inst i tut ional mechanism for planning, implementing and monitoring the process and the R&R activities;

assirmlate the outcome of these

Detailed Project Report, Vol - VI11 : Resettlement Action Plan E - 1


Address other social issues (resulting from the proposed project interventions) related to vulnerable groups (includmg tribal) and road safety; and

Prepare a plan ( S M P ) to address al l social issues associated with the project.

4 METHODOLOGY T h e preparation of S M P has focused on d e t d e d consultations and part icipation o f project affected persons (PAPS) and other project stakeholders. I t involved extensive f ield (census 'and socioeconomic) survey using structured questionnaires and gcl ldehes for undertahng Focus Group dscussions (FGD) and other stakeholders' consultation. T h e desk review, structured questionnaires, open ended formats, FGD gudelines, preparation of Vdlage Diary etc. were the specific tools used to collect the required information. T h e data/ information thus collected helped in understandtng the social and economic features of the affected communities and in appreciating their issues and concerns. Identi f icat ion o f land to b e acquired and inventory of structures coming within the corr idor o f impact were the main components o f the census survey carried out among the identi f ied potential project affected f d e s (PAF).

5 PROJECTAREA Kandl - Shadnagar road, the present sub-project road i s a cluster o f Ma jo r Distr ict Raod (MDR) and Other D is t r i c t Road (ODR) Sections, located in Telangana R e g o n o f Andhra Pradesh. T h e Project road (PR) starts at km 0/0 in Kandi (Junction with NH-9 at km 496/0) in Medak &strict and r u n s south-east d.u-ection connecting Shankarpalh, Chevella, Shaabad towns (in Rangareddy District) and terminates at Shadnagar (Junction with NH-7 at km 47/6 through SH4 at km 3/000) in Mahboobnagar Distr ict. Cumulative length o f h s road i s 65.50 km. T h e project road provides connectivity between NH-9 and NH-7, as a bypass to Hyderabad and i s presently widely used by interstate traffic.

T h e proposed project road, by and large, has sufficient Right of Way (ROW') to accommodate the proposed improvement in road geometrics and upgradmg of the road to two lane/four lane standard. However, at some locations it becomes necessary to acquire the land for proposed improvements, particularly for a bypass.

6 PROJECT IMPACTS Proposed road improvement d require about 30 ha o f land mainly for a bypass, geometric/curve and junct ion improvements. Besides, t h i s d require acquisition of road side structures, w h c h in turn, d dlsplace about 80 f d e s . There are 182 project affected families (PAFs) whose populat ion i s 1046, referred as project affected persons (PAPS). Out of the total 182 PAFs, 80 are titleholders, 22 encroachers (occupying pub l ic /RBD land), 42 squatters (within ROW'), 1 tenant and 37 kiosks (mostly wooden cabins wh ich cou ld be easily moved). Social assessment o f these PAFs has identi f ied 132 PAFs as vulnerable includmg 19 Scheduled Caste (SC) and 1 8 W o m e n Headed (WH) f d e s . Among the PAFs majori ty (132 PAFs includmg SC and WH f a d e s ) i s reported to be be low poverty level (BPL). In other words, there are 95 PAFs who do not belong to the socially disadvantaged groups (SC and WH) but are economically backward and are living blow poverty level. These f a d e s are also considered as vulnerable PAFs. T h e distribution o f vulnerable PAFs in dlfferent social groups i s given in the Table 1. These f a d e s received focus attention during RAP preparation for their R&R entitlements and options.

Based on the stakeholders' consultation, a comprehensive study about physical displacement and land acquisition and social assessment undertaken, i t has been established the proposed project interventions d result in low adverse impacts on the local population.



7 SOCIAL SAFEGUARD POLICIES TRIGGERED W e the proposed interventions for improvement of K S road d necessitate some involuntary resettlement, the results o f the social assessment established that t h s d not impact any tribal groups in the project area. M o r e over, the assessment found that there are no tr ibal specific habitations along the proposed K S road. In other words, h s sub-project triggers the Bank‘s operational pol icy (OP 4.12) on involuntary resettlement but not OP 4.10 on Indlgenous Peoples (referred as tribal in Ind ian context). W e the present S M P includes a detailed Resettlement Ac t i on Plan (including measures for compensating loss of land and other assets, relocation o f project dlsplaced farnhes and economic rehabhtat ion to restore livelihood), i t also include measures to address other social issues related to women, prevention o f HIV/AIDS and road safety (mainly awareness program) aspects.

8 STAKEHOLDERS’ CONSULTATION To ensure continued people part icipation during project preparation, a consultation mechanism was adopted wh ich would continue during the project implementation. Loca l people were in fo rmed about the project and i t s activities and they were consulted in the project related decisions. Ths helped in understandlng not only their perceptions about the project but also seek their opinion about the project, their preferences/options and their input in the project designs. These consultations were two-way communication where relevant in fo rmat ion was shared with the project stakeholders includmg affected communities. T h e in fo rmat ion shared with the stakeholders related to the extent o f land acquisition and number o f structures affected, physical dlsplacernent and relocation, economic rehabditation, inst i tut ional mechanism for planning and implementation of the project, etc. T h e stakeholders’ consultation were he ld at various levels - d a g e , Mandal, Distr ict and Project.

T h e consultation has emphasized on involving primary stakeholders (project affected f d e s ) dlrectly related to planning and implementing RAP and the project activities. During social assessment and RAP preparation, specific consultation strategy was adopted to consult with the vulnerable PAFs. T h l s included sharing informat ion on the specific measures to support these vulnerable PAFs in their R&R process. T h e S M P includes a consultation framework to b e adopted during i t s implementation.

9 R&R POLICY FRAMEWORK T h e R&R Policy 2005 of GoAP has a number of progressive measures to help those affected by the infrastructure projects in the state. However, a review of the pol icy revealed that the R&R issues related to road sector projects have not been adequately addressed. In h s regard, a gap analysis of the state R&R pol icy was carried out to ident i fy addltional measures required to address R&R issues associated with road sector projects. Changes proposed in APRRP 2005, based on t h s gap analysis, have been included in the R&R entitlement framework for the present APRSP. Accordingly, the changes proposed by APRDC have been approved by GoAP. Ths R&R entitlement framework together with specific measures to address other social issues (H IV IA IDS, road safety) provides the base for the preparation o f h s S M P (includmg RAP as an important component). Important features o f the pol icy framework for land acquisition and R&R entitlements under APRSP are as follow:

0 L a n d acquisition (LA) will be as per LA A c t 1894. T h e project will follow consent award (or mutual negotiations) and if th i s fails, normal LA process will be followed.

A one t ime financial assistance equivalent to 750 days o f minimum wages Unll b e paid to a PAF who becomes landless due to loss o f l and for the project. For those becoming marginal farmers and small farmers, h s financial assistance d b e equivalent to 500 man days and 350 m a n days respectively.

10 LAND ACQUISTION

T h e pro ject requires about 30 h a private l a n d w h c h l a n d d b e acquired in accordance with the L a n d Acquis i t ion (LA) A c t 1894 mainly using the prov is ions of 'consent award' or through mutual negotiations. LA and resettlement activit ies wdl b e completed be fo re hand ing over the site for construction. Possession o f l a n d by the pro ject will b e taken over only after dsbursement of compensation and R&R assistance.

L a n d acquisit ion procedures wlll b e in i t ia ted with the section 4(1) no t i f i ca t i on under LA A c t indicating the i n ten t i on to acquire l and for t h e project. De te rm ina t ion o f compensaDon and i t s payment i s expected to start from lst M a y 2009 as indicated below.

Table I: LA Plan Schedule

25th January 2009 Publication o f notification under section 4(1) o f the LA A c t - intention to acquire land

In terms o f the actual built up area, the pro ject e n t d s acquis i t ion lappropr ia t ion o f about 1945 sq. mtr. o f structures w h c h wdl b e demolished for the pro ject interventions. Compensat ion for structures will b e compu ted at the Basic Schedule o f Rates (BSR) adopted by RI3D. However , no deduct ion d b e m a d e towards depreciation. A f fec ted f a d e s will b e perrmt ted to carry the construction m a t e d that they can salvage from the site. O t h e r assets l ike crops, trees, etc i f affected d b e compensated as pe r the procedures laid out in the RAP document.

11 RESETTLEMENT

T h e p roposed K S pro ject has p lanned for resett l ing al l e l i gb le PDFs withm the f ramework o f A P W 2005 together with amendments for the r o a d sector approved by GoAP. T h e relocation sites p roposed to b e developed are near the place of displacement along the road. These resettlement sites are mainly p roposed in RI3D land. Relocation sites have been p roposed along the road, keeping in v i e w the proposed technical designs a n d ensuring adequate safety measures.



At locations where R&B land i s not available, the D is t r i c t Adrmnistrat ion wdl provide land for resettlement site subject to avai labhty o f Government land. In t h i s process, the Distr ict R&R Committee wdl help in identi f icat ion of suitable government land for resettlement sites. PAFs not getting alternate land or if they do not prefer the project identi f ied site wdl b e el igble for cash in l ieu of the land.

T h e procedures to b e fol lowed by the implementing functionaries have been d e t d e d out in S M P . Essentially, these include veri f icat ion and updat ing the l i s t of PAFs; publ ic dlsclosure of t h i s l i s t and their (on individual basis) R&R entitlements; issuance of ID Cards along with their photos, losses and entitlements; compensation for loss o f land and other assets; dlsbursement of relocation assistance including house construction assistance and subsistence allowance; development of resettlement sites and allotment o f house sites, etc. N o family d be deprived o f their land/structure unless compensated. No construction d b e init iated unless PAFs are compensated and they receive their R&R assistance. Similarly, no construction wdl be permitted unless all PDFs are properly resettled. As indlcated in Table 2, dlsplaced families under project d get a free house site, a house construction grant for BPL f a d e s , grant for cattle shed, transport assistance and subsistence allowance.

REHABILITATION

T h e over all approach of the project towards the economic rehabditation o f PAFs i s to ensure that they enhance, i f not at least regain their pre-project level of economic livelihood. Towards t h s end, the R&R pol icy framework agreed for the project includes al lotment o f government land (where available and agreed by the eligible PAF) together with the financial assistance towards land development and adjustment o f compensation towards the cost o f land allotted. Financial assistance to eligible PAFs i s provided if they become landless, marginal and small farmers after LA for the project. Such f a d e s are also supported to access on-going income generation schemes of the government as complementary to their el igbhties. Government programs for income generation are avadable to vulnerable f d e s (BPL and SC) on subsidy- loan schemes. T h e Package NGO (selected for K S road) wdl help such vulnerable PAFs to access government programs. T h e rehabhtation assistance prov ided to PAFs along with subsidy will help them to enhance their living condltions. O n e member from each of such el igble PAFs d be g v e n training either to impar t n e w s luU or improve the existing ones to help then take up alternate income generating schemes and supplement their household income.

All efforts will be made to ensure that the interested (and wdhg to take-up the government schemes) PAFs are covered under the on-going government schemes. T h e Package NGO has a major role in helping PAFs in not only getting their R&R entitlements on t ime but also in ensuring their proper use. T h e NGO, with the help of the Package Manager (Engneer in charge o f K S road), will approach the concerned government departments/agencies and ensure their coverage under Government programs, particularly the I n h a Kranthi Patham.

Vulnerable famhes wdl b e preferred in the allotment of sites for businesses/shops. Concerted efforts d b e made to help such vulnerable PAFs to access government schemes for their r socio-economic development.

OTHER SOCIAL I S S U E S

Vulnerable Groups

There are no indgenous peoples (referred locally as tribal) in the project area and therefore the adverse impacts on the tribal under t h i s project does not arise. T h e vulnerable among P A F s include the BPL (including WH households and SC f a d e s ) . During implementation, all vulnerable if interested d b e g v e n preference for wage employment in the project construction activities.



Gender Issues

Women are categorized as vulnerable if they are affected by the project on individual basis. Such f a d e s are eligible for additional support in their R&R process. W o m e n d get wages, under the project, at par with m e n on ‘equal work equal payment’ basis. Where ever avdab le and active women Self H e l p Groups, if interested d b e involved in project implementation. Package NGO has an important ro le to involve w o m e n members through out the project period.

Child Labour

N o chi ld labour \.3111 b e involved in the construction work. This i s an important clause o f the contractual agreement with the Construction agency. T h ~ s d b e strictly mon i to red by the project during implementation.

Road Safety Education

During social assessment and stakeholders’ consultation, road safety has emerged an important issue and local communit ies and other road users expressed their concerns, particularly on completion o f project w h c h would significantly increase the vehc le speed and traffic flow. In t h i s regard, the project provides for road safety measures in the construction plan. However, to educate the local communities on the use o f road, following traff ic rules and ensuring safety, a program on road safety education has been included in the present S M P . Since the Package NGO would be developing a good rapport with the local communit ies and other road users, road safety education and awareness campaigns will b e one of i t s important activities o f the assignment.

Prevention HIV/AIDS Transmission

I t i s wel l established that because o f proposed improvements in the road, m o b h t y o f Commercial Sex Workers and truckers and other road users d also increase and hence increased chances of transmission and spread of HIV/AIDS. Prevention and control o f H I V / A I D S transmission will be one o f the important social responsibhties o f the project. An action plan for the prevention and control o f HIV/AIDS has been prepared in close coordination with the Andhra Pradesh A I D S Control Society (APSACS) for the entire AP Road sector project, o f w h c h t h s JM road i s also included. This Plan d be implemented by the Package NGO, closely working with APSACS local functionaries and supported by the Package Manager.

14 IMPLEMENTATION M E C H A N I S M

In t h s comprehensive S M P , RAP i s the most important component. Other components of S M P include prevention and control o f H I V / A I D S and Road Safety Ac t i on Plan. Ths S M P , therefore, has a variety of project stakeholders, target groups and implementing agencies. T h e most important and sigmficant R&R component d b e implemented by the Package Manager (or the Engmeer in-charge o f the Package) in close coordination with the Distr ict Admtnistrat ion and t h l s d be closely mon i to red by the D is t r i c t R&R Committee. RAP implementation d b e facilitated by the Package NGO. HIV/AIDS plan d b e implemented by involving APSACS h e c t l y . Road safety measures d be implemented with the help o f Transport Department where Package NGO d b e undertakmg education and awareness programs among the local/road side communities and other road users.

Therefore, the agreed framework for S M P implementation i s as follows.
