REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains the resettlement plan for the potential social impact anticipated due
to the proposed project. In this regard, a compatible Rehabilitation and Resettlement
Policy has to be developed based on NHAI, Government of India and State Government
Policy and accordingly a full resettlement plan (RP) will be prepared for the project in the
subsequent stages of project preparation. Special protection measures will be suggested in
terms of economic rehabilitation grant and other assistance for affected persons those who
belong to Schedule Castes, Schedule Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Women Headed
Households and persons living Below Poverty Lines including Physically Handicaps.
Widening, realignment and curve straightening of roads results in acquisition of more
lands that affects the livelihood of people. Preparation of land acquisition plan is another
very important aspect in consultancy services for preparation of Detailed Project Report.
Based on the Census survey, Socio- economic survey, individual and group meeting the
report is prepared. With meticulous plan and systematic approach the land status, family
particulars, socio-economic status, the magnitude of loss and the attitude and perception
of the likely to be affected people were studied during the baseline and census survey.
NHAI, however, in accordance with National R&R Policy, 2007 has intended to undertake
several exercises to quantify magnitude of displacement, profile the potential population to
be affected, identify the associated social hardships through consultations. These activities
are aimed to facilitate the selection and finalization of road alignment with minimum land
acquisition and displacement.
MINIMISATION OF SOCIAL IMPACTS
Based on the impact on the properties and the land required and the consultations certain
measures are proposed to reduce and minimize the impact. While preparing the
engineering design, the prime consideration is to minimise the social adverse impacts
within the limit of technical requirements and cost effectiveness and to enhance the
benefits to the society as well. Despite the best efforts to minimise the adverse social
impact, however, land take and resettlement has been, to some extent, unavoidable.
According to the broad principle mentioned above, a joint decision among the engineering,
environmental and social teams has been taken to avoid land acquisition from fertile lands,

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
religious places, such as temples, mosques, graveyard etc, and also congested market
areas (which would save both displacement and livelihoods as well as excessive costs) and
avoid splitting agricultural fields as far as possible.
To minimise the social impacts, some of the basic principles followed in the engineering
design of the project road are as follows:
• Upgrading/widening on one side is preferable- it limits land take and
building demolition to one side only and reduce costs.
• Care will be taken to avoid agricultural wet lands as much as possible.
• Avoid to the maximum extent splitting fields.
• While attempting to ease curves, minimise the amount of property
and number of homes to be affected.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Unlike a new road development project the present road is limited to widening and up
gradation of existing alignment to 2 lane to 4-lane road. This limits the scope of examining
alternatives in terms of different alignments. The alternatives considered relates to
modification in geometric design, horizontal alignment to minimize lan`d acquisition and
tree felling. As the town/urban agglomerate have high density of structures and heavy
traffic movement resulting in congestion. In this connection, there might be essential of
bypasses.
REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT ISSUES
Road improvement includes widening and realignment of the road at some locations and
this involves expropriation of land from the current owners/ users. The expropriation of
land necessitates the eviction of squatters and encroachers from within the RoW and
acquisition of land from the titleholders. Acquisition of land, eviction of squatters and
encroachers may cause social disruption and economic loss for project affected persons
and their families. It is therefore important that disturbances and losses of APs due to
project are minimised through proper planning. This resettlement plan details the process
to be undertaken during the implementation of the project to minimise the adverse social
impacts.

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
The anticipated loss due to the proposed project is broadly categorized into 2 aspects i.e.
loss of land assets and loss of non-land assets(built-up properties). The census survey
covers the built up structures in details and to be presented in the RP and the details of
landholders are covered in Land schedule prepared as a part of Land Acquisition Plan
(LAP). A profile of the project-affected area is also prepared based on the census survey of
affected families.
The extent of land acquired and the structures to be lost by the project is an indicator of
impact on the social environment.
However, the project will have an impact on the petty traders, mostly non-title holders,
who are dependent on their commercial structures for their livelihood reside inside the
RoW. A majority of the affected population likes to settle close to their place of
displacement. Hence, development of relocation site is not required. The impact is limited
to non-titleholders and all efforts shall be made through various provisions in Resettlement
Plan to mitigate negative social impacts on APs by supporting relocation of APs and by
restoration of pre-project levels of income.
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION
Extensive public consultations have been carried out in the project corridor with the
objective of minimising probable adverse impacts of the project through alternate design
solutions and to achieve the project goal through awareness among the project corridor
community for the benefits of the project. Several meetings were organized at various
locations, promoting public understanding of the processes and mechanisms through which
developmental problems and needs are investigated.
Any development activity can be implemented successfully only by active involvement of
the beneficiaries from an early stage of project preparation. In the projects, where there
are adverse impacts and loss of assets, the involvements of affected persons assume more
significance. In this project, the affected persons to be consulted during the socio-
economic survey. Further, the NHAI would undertake the disseminate information and
mitigation measures to the entitled persons affected by the project.
NHAI should undertake the preparation of the Social Assessment Management Plan
(SAMP), which involves public meetings with the people in the village where the bypass,
realignment and geometric correction is planned. These meetings include one-to-one
interaction with the concerned leaders and representatives of the Panchayat or Tehsil. The
3

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
SAMP provides the support for undertaking the socio-economic survey. While undertaking
the socio-economic survey and the verification exercise, Focus Group Discussions (FGD),
interviews and consultations with the APs on the components of the project, the social
safeguards, and preferred entitlements etc., which will form the important inputs for the
preparation of the Rehabilitation Action Plan.
The NHAI organizes public consultation for the project where information regarding the
project is disseminated and suggestion by the people are incorporated into the project
design. This activity is also accompany distribution of brochures and pamphlets informing
people on project specific details. These brochures and pamphlets contain information on
the overall project plan, design and construction standards, potential impacts and
mitigation measures planned resettlement and rehabilitation measures, compensations
and assistance.
MITIGATION METHODS
The beneficiary will be the title holder who will be entitled get one or multiple benefits.
• An alternative land of equivalent productive potential subject to
availability preferably within same village/ panchayat but not
exceeding one hectare of irrigated or two hectare of un-irrigated land.
• Registration charges for transfer of this land in the name of affected
family shall also be borne by NHAI.
• Alternate land for allotment to AFs shall be taken from the State
Government or from voluntary sellers at existing land prices to avoid
further impact.
• If the alternate land is wasteland/degraded land, all eligible affected
families shall be provided one time assistance towards development
of land.
• In case affected families opt for cash compensation for loss of land or
not eligible for land for land option, they will be provided cash
compensation as per Indian law and following rehabilitation
assistance based on the severity of losses:
Note: The Present minimum agricultural wages fixed by Department of

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
Labour, Govt. of Maharashtra will be taken into consideration.
1. Availability of Land for allotment to APs: Availability of land for persons
opting for “land for land” shall be decided as follows:
2. NHAI will take up the matter with Maharashtra State Government for
release of Government land for allotment to the eligible APs.
3. If Government land is not available, NHAI will purchase private land on a
willing buyer and seller basis keeping in mind that the purchase of land
does not promote any indirect displacement. The land will be purchased
from voluntary sellers at existing rates finalised through negotiations.
4. For purchase of private land a “Land Purchase Committee” shall be
constituted comprising of representatives of NHAI, Local Authorities AFs,
Gram Panchayat or any well reputed person as mutually agreed with the
local authorities and AFs.
OTHER REHABILITATION & MITIGATION MEASURES
INCOME GENERATION
When alternate land is not available as per above procedures or in cases where a PAF is
not entitled to land for land’ i.e. eligible only for cash compensation as determined by
Revenue Authorities, the PAP may exercise one of the following options for his
rehabilitation. A variety of income generation enterprise will be offered on the basis of:
(a) Consultation with APs and local government
(b) The socio-economic survey establishing the need for such schemes
Jobs
I) Jobs with NHAI: NHAI projects do not envisage significant job
opportunities to the local residents. However, if there is any requirement of
job then APs shall be entitled for preference, subject to their meeting of job
requirement and specification.
II) Jobs with Contractors: Contractors will be persuaded to give jobs to
eligible APs on a preferential basis where feasible.

TRAINING
If the head of the family who is eligible for Resettlement Assistance as per entitlement
frame work wants to nominate its dependent for vocational training course in lieu of
rehabilitation assistance offered to them, NHAI may arrange for imparting suitable
training. Such training will be imparted through the existing and available training
institutions like Polytechnic, ITIs. The project authority may meet the cost of training of
the persons who are nominated by the head of the eligible PAFs in writing selected from
amongst the land looser families.
Apart from above NHAI will organise need based short training for development of required
skill and entrepreneurship development for the selected IGs in the affected village through
state government/institutions.
Community Development Works
In addition to above measures, NHAI based on outcome of social assessment will also
undertake need based developmental work like:
1) Construction of road, 2) Drinking water facility, 3) Community centre etc. for overall
up-liftment of surrounding, village and community. These works shall be carried out in
association with local authorities.
NHAI will ensure that all plans are approved by competent authorities; that public
consultation takes place at necessary stages; and, that grievance redressal is a priority.
GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL COMMITTEE
In majority of the cases by adopting a participatory and transparent consultation process
and by providing adequate value to the lost assets and sufficient support mechanisms any
development project will be accepted, enhanced and complaints and disputes from the
affected people will also reduce. It is only in the case of land acquisition that even after
provisions in the LA Act like, APs to object to the proposed acquisition, compensation,
rates, receive the compensation under protest and refer to the court for settlement etc.
Disputes and complaints from the APs may arise hence to address such issues that arise
during the project implementation; dispute redressal mechanism should be in place.
Hence to address these grievances the NHAI will set up a committee comprising
representatives of the NHAI, representatives of local authorities, APs, Gram Panchayat or
any well reputed person as mutually agreed with the local authorities and APs. This 6

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
committee will address the grievances of the APs. A Senior official will represent NHAI
from Region/ Corporate Centre. The well-reputed person will not be same as the one in
the LPC.
LAND PURCHASE COMMITTEE
Land Purchase Committee (LPC) shall be formed by nomination in the following steps:
1. NHAI representative shall be nominated.
2. Representative of Local Authorities to be decided by District
Administration.
3. Representative of APs to be identified and selected by themselves.
4. Representative of Gram Panchayat or any other person of repute as
mutually agreed with local authorities and APs.
LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK
In India, compensation for land acquisition (LA) and resettlement assistance for project-
affected people are generally governed by the Land Acquisition Act (1894). However, in
case of NHAI projects, the National Highways Act, 1956 (hereafter NHA) is used to carry
out land acquisition for national highway projects. The Act gives NHAI power to acquire
land through a “competent authority” (i.e.), the district collector and/or NHAI staff)
through notification in the official gazette by the Central Government.
INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT AND MECHANISMS
The RAP has proposed institutional arrangement as per the NHAI Guidelines. The
Administrator or Project Director is at the helm of affairs and his staff at the PIU has been
proposed to carry out the activities. The ground level R&R activities will be carried out by
temporarily hired NGOs. The implementation of the RAP consists of five major stages:
5. Deployment and training of identified NHAI staff and NGO
6. Issuing of legal notification for land acquisition and the cut-off date
7. Verification of entitled persons (EP) and estimating their type and level of losses
8. Preparing a list of EPs for relocation

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
9. Relocation and rehabilitation of EPs.
In addition, monitoring and evaluation will also form a part of the R&R implementation
strategy. The NHAI officials at the PIU and district levels will function in supervisory roles
for the R&R activities. At the project road level the NGO selected and recruited for the
purpose will carry out the actual implementation.
MONITORING & EVALUATION
The monitoring and evaluation of the under the present project is needed to ensure that
the affected families will receive the Rehabilitation assistance (RA) to be devised for the
temporary loss of livelihood incur to them. Under the present project, there are no major
social impacts as none of the title holder loose land or any permanent structures or assets
in existing alignment( RoW) barring proposed bypass and realignment area.
However, the NHAI has a well-developed organizational support structure for effective
monitoring of the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) prepared for each project. The internal
monitoring of the R&R activities will be carried by the PIU of the NHAI on regular basis.
The external exercise will include a mid-term and end-term evaluation of the activities.
The range of activities that will need to be monitored include:
a) Land acquisition and transfer procedures
b) Disbursement of compensation and assistance
c) Construction of replacement buildings by the displaced families
d) Rehabilitation of displaced families and business enterprises
e) Rehabilitation of income levels.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
All the proposed activities related to the implementation of RAP would be completed based
on a specific time frame devised after the consultations with the NHAI. The
implementation of the RAP will be completed after the approval of the design. However all
the R&R activities will be completed before the construction work of the road begins.
DISBURSEMENT MECHANISM
To avoid the delays in the execution of RAP, a one-time sanction of the total RAP budget
should be made instead of item wise. The total amount of RAP budget should be made
available to the concerned officer and these amounts will be released and distributed to
8

Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
the affected families with the help of the concerned field staff in the site office.
While allotting income generation schemes, the authorities should be in touch with Bank
Officer of the respective area who will select appropriate schemes for the individual PAFs.
DISCLOSURE OF RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN
As per requirements of the NHAI and the Asian Development Bank Policy on Disclosure of
Information, after approval from the competent authority, the draft RAP will be disclosed to
the public in the affected zone (project corridor of impact). For the purpose of the
disclosure, the Executive Summary of the draft RAP will be translated into the local
language and displayed in the affected zone. To ensure effective disclosure, the executive
summary will be prominently displayed at the following places in the affected zone.
• Panchayat level offices
• Taluk level offices
• Other public places at the district level
• Market Place
PRELIMINARY COSTS AND BUDGET
The preliminary costs estimated mainly include land cost, structure cost and R&R
assistance costs. The land price will be calculated based on prevailing market price in the
road side across different villages falling under various section of the project road. The
average price across the roads will be considered for the estimates. The structure cost is
estimated based upon the rates of the Roads and Buildings Department, Government of
Maharashtra. This estimate will be prepared on the analysis of the actual no. of structures
affected and acquisition of the land for the project.

STAKEHOLDER'S CONSULATATION
INTRODUCTION
Consultative procedures has been a critical but important front in the entire social
assessment process. Public consultations in social impact assessment facilitates to make a
rapport with the villagers in the project villages and provide basic inputs. In this regard,
the social assessment ensures the involvement of local communities through participatory
planning through structured consultations would endorse and integrate important
resettlement issues in the project cycle.
For the purpose of stakeholder's consultation a team of social experts visited all sections
of MSH-3. In the process of information dissemination, collecting relevant data and to
acquaint with social requirements of the project, the government officials, key informants
& knowledgeable person and other stakeholders were consulted. The consultation
meetings were conducted in 24 villages. As the magnitude of impact is high, the bypass
village locations were considered with prime importance.
The consultations were undertaken with various stakeholders at village levels for sharing
the information about the alignments, widening of existing two lane into two lane with
paved shoulder and bypasses. Prior intimation was given to the villagers and the local
public representatives e.g Sarpanch of the villages to participate in the consultations. The
village wise issues and concern were discussed and suggestions made by the participants
were recorded. The range of discussion includes perception, attitude, benefit, problem,
suggestions recommendation and solution on social, economic, engineering viability of the
project.
In addition to bypass village level consultations, fifteen information and consultation
meetings with primary stakeholders, road users, shopkeepers, dwellers and other
knowledgeable persons were conducted along the road sided village. The location for these
meetings were selected in such a way that a large section of the nearby habitations could
participate in these meetings.
METHODOLOGY
The consultation process adopted mainly qualitative method. The techniques were mainly
community and individual interview, focus group discussion and observation.
Need for Consultation

These consultation and discussion would help in assessing the skills of likely to be affected
persons under the project, developing training modules, formulating income generation
and livelihood action plans, planning for relocation activities etc.
Scope of Consultation and discussion
a) Counseling the people
During the village level meeting, primary counseling activities were carried out to explain
to the people the need for land acquisition, the provisions of the policy and the
entitlements under the R&R policy.
b) Dissemination of Information
Specific project information was disseminated to the people like the possible consequences
of the project on the community’s livelihood system and the options available.
c) Focus on Women and Tribal
Special focus was given to the issues pertaining to women and Tribal in this project and
their impact on them, as they are vulnerable people of the society. Social evils like child
labour, condition in construction sites and camps etc were discussed in detail.
d) Socio-economic situation
For the awareness of people, a wide range of socio-economic topics were discussed which
included land holdings, cropping pattern, land price, labour, wage rate, migration,
transportation as well as gender issues.
6.5 Issues Discussed
The social team explained the need and technical details of the MSH-3 project to the
participants in terms of its length, characteristics of the paved shoulder and need of
bypass/ realignment, the proposed improvements in terms of safety improvements and
road side amenities etc.
• For a better understanding about the road the social team also
explained in detail the proposed cross sections of the paved shoulder
and need of geometric correction.

• In some places people were agreed that there would be minimal
impact on their life and livelihood, as NHAI has already possesses
enough land.
• The squatters and petty shop owners raised concern over the eviction
from the RoW.
• Some people those who have already constructed new buildings on
the road side were hesitant to give any opinion but suggested that
the government must take this issues with much importance.
• Majority of participants demanded that widening of the project road
should be finalised in such a way that impact of structures will be
minimum. The participants explained they would get benefit
economically from saving vehicle operating costs due to enhanced
speed and better geometric.
• The businesses community is optimistic for the better prospect in

LEGAL POLICY FRAMEWORK AND ENTITLEMENT MATRIX
POLICY FRAMEWORK
The policy framework and entitlement for the Program are based on national laws: The
Land Acquisition and R & R Act, 2013 (LARR) and The National Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP); The Maharashtra Project Affected Persons Rehabilitation
Act, 1999' as modified in 2006; Asian Development Bank Policy on Involuntary
Resettlement, OP 4.12. The following section deals with these policies with a comparison
and subsequently deals with the entitlements and eligibility for compensation and other
resettlement entitlements.
Through the proposed R&R entitlement policy and framework is committed to ensure that
the livelihoods of project-affected persons are at least restored to pre-project levels, with
the opportunity to improve on living standards where possible. The policy addresses the
following adverse impacts associated with road construction and upgrading activities:
• Loss of land and other privately-owned assets
• Adverse impacts on subsistence/livelihood or income-earning capacity
• Collective adverse impacts on groups (e.g., through the loss of business
resources and assets)
To mitigate unforeseen effects on roadside communities and promote general upliftment,
rehabilitation and support measures will be extended to include households of the defined
vulnerable social categories who may be adversely affected by road construction.
Entitlements have been developed according to the NHAI guidelines on implementation of
the NPRR. Entitlements for land losses are in the form of cash compensation. Every effort
needs to be made to provide land-based options to households whose production levels are
severely affected by land acquisition. This will primarily be achieved through local
consultative forums to assist with the identification of suitable privately owned cultivated
land in the vicinity for purchasing by the affected households.
All strategic interventions on human development, spread across all social issues, need
directives of policies and legal support to operationalise the appropriate actions. These
policies and legislations help to overcome the constraints and support administrator,
implementer, community and individual in delivery of justice. This chapter includes the

World Bank as well as National policies and Acts applicable to the proposed Project are
detailed under:
OBJECTIVES OF RESETTLEMENT POLICY
This Resettlement Action Plan(RAP) is based on the general findings of the census and
socio economic survey, field visits, and meetings with various project affected persons in
the project area. The primary objective of the RAP is to identify impacts and to plan
measures to mitigate various losses of the Project Road. The specific objectives are as
follows:
• To minimize displacement and to promote least displacing alternatives
• To ensure adequate rehabilitation package and expeditious
implementation of rehabilitation process with the active participation
• To provide better living conditions and making concerted effort for
providing sustainable income to affected families
• Develop harmonious relationship between requiring body and affected
families
The RAP outlines the details of the project, description of the project location, the
magnitude of impacts based on the census, and spells out the necessary implementation
procedures for resettlement and rehabilitation of the entire project affected families
including the entitlement matrix as well as the legal framework and policies.
NATIONAL HIGHWAYS ACT- 1956
The act is applicable to the whole of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The
policy provides a broad guideline of procedure of land acquisition. The National Highways
Act 1956 (NH Act) is commonly used for acquisition of land for public purpose. It is used at
the State level made to suit local requirements. Expropriation of and compensation for
land, houses and other immovable assets are carried out under the National Highways Act
1956. The Act deals with compulsory acquisition of private land for public purpose. The LA
Act does not contain any provision specifically dealing with resettlement including income
restoration aspects.
The procedure of NH Act under this act is summarized below:

THE MAHARASHTRA PROJECT AFFECTED PERSONS REHABILITATING ACT, 1999 MODIFIED IN 2006
The government of Maharashtra has adopted a policy on resettlement and rehabilitation
through the MPAPRA. It applies to all irrigation projects which exceed 50 ha., or the area of
the benefited zone exceed 200 ha. It also applies to industrial projects such as industrial
estate, atomic park, sanctuary, mines, etc. The responsibility to execute MPARPA and
rehabilitate project affected persons rests with the concerned department of the
government of Maharashtra through entering an agreement with the concerned project
authority or body. Where, in the opinion of the State Government, it is necessary and
expedient in the public interest to apply it to any other project, the state government may
be notification in the official Gazette, declare that it applies in relation to such project as
specified in the notification; and thereupon the provisions of this Act applies to such
project. It does not apply to projects falling under the jurisdiction of inter- state projects;
and rehabilitation work financed by the external agencies and countries.
19
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra
Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
The eligible persons under the policy are legal titleholders, and tenants who are in actual
possession of land under the tenancy law. Eligible agricultural laborers under the act are
those who do not possess any land but have been cultivating the land and earning
livelihood through manual labor not less than 5 years from the date of notification. The
major entitlement provided under the Act are:(i) land for land compensation subject to the
availability of sufficient land, (ii) civic amenities where in the state government will provide
civic amenities in the prescribed scale and manner in the new area, (iii) restoration of
cultural and religious property or proper compensation and (iv) employment schemes.
However, there are certain limitations of this Act in comparison with the NRRP and world
Bank policy including: (i) this act does not have principle on minimizing resettlement, (ii)
it does not recognize non-titleholders other than agricultural laborers who have worked on
the land for 5 years, (iii) it does not require household surveys and social impact
assessment,(iv) it does not specify assistance and restoration programs for APs, (v) it
does not specify eligibility and cut-off-date, (vi) it does not recognize the loss of business,
incomes and employment; and other losses without displacement and (vii) while it
describes market values, it may not always be equivalent to replacement value.
THE RIGHT TO FAIR COMPENSATION & TRANSPARENCY IN LARR ACT,2013
The salient features of the Act include:
• The Act seeks to amend the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The 1894
Act was repealed and a new comprehensive legislation was brought in
Parliament. It states that the legislation should be enacted
expeditiously.
• This said act under section 105, requires that all the acts mentioned
under schedule IV (including NH Act 1956) shall be amended within
one year from the date of commencement of this act.
• The bill notes that the use of the word ‘may’ dilutes specific provisions
and provides undue discretion to the implementing agency. It
recommends that ‘may’ should be replaced by ‘shall’ in all clauses
except ones where the intent is to provide flexibility.
• In order to protect agricultural land from getting acquired, it states
that the Bill should include a provision that makes it mandatory for
the Collector to submit a report stating that wasteland or barren land
20
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra
Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
was not available for a particular project. Also, the government
should make a list of unutilised land.
• The Committee also makes several suggestions for development of
wasteland. It also recommends that the government should do long
term planning regarding the total area of agricultural land required to
meet food grain requirements. Also, a strong law is required to
protect prime agricultural land in similar manner as forest land.
There should also be measures to guard against excessive acquisition
of land which is at time more than the land required for the project.
• The Committee recommends that in cases where award of
compensation is pending, solatium and the rehabilitation and
resettlement package should be provided retrospectively.
• The Committee recommends that all the benefits provided under the
Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement legislation
should be doubled at every stage in case of second and subsequent
displacement of a family/person.
• As per the Act, 30 days time period from the date of publication of
the notification has been provided for the affected person to object to
the acquisition of land. The Committee feels that the period is not
sufficient and recommends that it be increased to 60 days.
• The Committee is of the opinion that fixing some percentage of the
land to be acquired by the appropriate government and private body
for a particular project of public purpose is very contradictory and
impractical. Also, the definition of “public purpose” as per the 1894
Act should be retained.
• There should be discretion in deciding whether a Social Impact Study
is necessary if the number of families is below the threshold level.
• The Committee recommends that the highest price of sale deed as
indicated in the sale deeds of the last three years plus 50 per cent of
the highest price should be the criteria for assessing and determining
the market value of the land. For tribal areas, the Committee
21
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra
Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
recommends that the highest price of a sale deed of the adjoining
non-tribal blocks/village for the last three years plus 50 per cent
should be the criteria.
• The Committee is against the provision that allows the Collector,
before determining the market value of the land, to ascertain the
intended land use category.
• The Committee states that issue of shares and debentures as part of
the compensation is not practical. Therefore, issue of shares and
debentures should be over and above the admissible compensation.
Further, it should be left to the acquiring body to issue shares and
debentures over and above the admissible compensation to the
affected person/family whose land is acquired.
• The Committee pointed out certain contradictions in the Land
Acquisition Bill and the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill with
regard to compensation with shares and debentures.
• The Committee recommends that emergency powers of the
government may be restricted to acquisition of minimum area of land
for the purpose of defence or national security or in case of natural
calamities.
• The Committee suggests that the Acquisition Compensation Disputes
Settlement Authority should consist of at least three members,
including the Chairperson. Also, the retirement age should be
reduced to 65 years from 67 years.
• The Committee proposes that the rate of interest should be increased
from nine per cent to 15 per cent per annum and compound interest
should be paid wherever applicable.
• The date of commencement of this Act is 1st January 2014.
SCHEDULED CASTE AND SCHEDULED TRIBES ORDERS (AMENDMENT) ACT,2002
The Act provides for the inclusion in the lists of Scheduled Tribes (ST), of certain tribes or
22
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra
Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
tribal communities or parts of or groups within tribes or tribal communities, equivalent
names or synonyms of such tribes or communities, removal of area restrictions and
bifurcation and clubbing of entries; imposition of area restriction in respect of certain
castes in the lists of Scheduled Castes (SC) and the exclusion of certain castes and tribes
from the lists of SCs and STs.
RESETTLEMENT POLICY AND LAND ACQUISITION FRAMEWORK
The guidelines are prepared for addressing the issues limited to this project for
resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs. This policy has been developed based on the
National Highways Act 1956 and The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in LA
RR Act, 2013.
R&R BENEFITS FOR PROJECT AFFECTED FAMILIES
The resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) benefits shall be extended to all the Project
Affected Families (PAF) whether belonging to below poverty line (BPL) or non-BPL. The
details are provided in the entitlement matrix. For tribal the following provisions will be
adhered. Each Project Affected Family of ST category shall be given preference in
allotment of land.
Tribal PAFs will be re-settled close to their natural habitat in a compact block so that they
can retain their ethnic/linguistic and cultural identity
The Tribal Land Alienated in violation of the laws and regulations in force on the subject
would be treated as null and void and the R&R benefits would be available only to the
original tribal land owner.
PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE PROJECT
The core involuntary resettlement principles for this project are: (I) land acquisition, and
other involuntary resettlement impacts will be avoided or minimized exploring all viable
alternative sub-project designs; (ii) where unavoidable, time-bound resettlement plan
(RP) will be prepared and PAPs will be assisted in improving or at least regaining their pre-
project standard of living;(iii) Consultation with PAPs on compensation, disclosure of
resettlement information to PAPs, and participation of in planning and implementing sub-
projects will be ensured; (iv) vulnerable groups will be provided special assistance (v)
payment of compensation to PAPs for acquired assets at replacement rates; (vi) payment
of compensation and resettlement assistance prior to the construction contractor taking
23
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra
Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
physical acquisition of the land and prior to the commencement of any construction
activities; (vii) Provision of income restoration and rehabilitation; and (VIII) establishment
of appropriate grievance redress mechanisms.
ENTITLEMENT MATRIX
The broad entitlement matrix comprising the R & R compensation and assistance is
presented below. The titleholder PAPs will receive compensation for land and assets, as
decided by the competent authority.
The titleholders are entitled to receive compensation for land/assets at replacement cost,
R & R assistance and allowances for fees or other charges. They should be given advance
notice to harvest non-perennial crops, or compensation for lost standing crops. They will
have the right to salvage material from existing structures.
The LARR-2013, represents a significant milestone in the development of a systematic
approach to address resettlement issues in India and closes significantly the gap between
Indian national policies and operational policy of the World Bank/ADB. The National
Highways Act, 1956 gives directives for the acquisition of land in the public interest and
provides benefits only to titleholders.
Based on these, the following core involuntary resettlement principles are applicable:
• Avoid or minimize land acquisition and involuntary resettlement
impacts by exploring all viable alternative designs;
• Where displacement is unavoidable, prepare time-bound RAP for PAPs
so that they are not worse off than the present socio-economic
condition after the implementation of the project. In other words,
assist affected persons in improving their former living standards and
income earning capacity with additional assistance to vulnerable
groups;
• Ensure wide range of meaningful consultations with stakeholders
including likely PAPs on compensation, disclosure of resettlement
information, participation of PAPs in planning and implementation of
the resettlement program in order to suitably accommodate their
inputs and make rehabilitation and resettlement plan more
participatory and broad based;
24

iv.) Grievance redressal
v.) Monitoring of resettlement operation. The RO will work closely with the
District Collector to expedite the payments of compensation for land
acquisition and assistance to DPs.
Non-Government Organization (NGO)/ field staff
Resettlement is a sensitive issue and strong experience in R&R matters along with
community related skills will be required by the PIU in order to build a good rapport with
the affected community and facilitate satisfactory R&R of the DPs. To overcome this
deficiency, experienced and well-qualified NGO or trained field staff from PWD in this field
will be engaged to assist the PIU in the implementation of the RAP.
The NGO/field staff would play the role of a facilitator and will work as a link between the
PIU and the affected community. Further they will educate the DPs 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 DPs under the R&R entitlement
package.
For the implementation of the RAP a local Non-Government Organization (NGO) shall be
engaged. The NGO will implement the RAP in coordination with the Social Officer of NHAI

representing vulnerable groups, demonstrable mandate to represent
local groups.
• Should have a clearer understanding to gender and poverty relations
within the community and have the ability to pay particular attention
to the social and economic needs of women and other vulnerable
community.
The NGO will be involved through mutually agreed terms and conditions with specific
responsibilities and in-built accountability. A contract will be signed with the NGO indicating
the tasks to be performed and the amount to be paid for their services. The payment to the
NGO will be linked to performance of the tasks assigned and the time period. Their
payment will be arranged by the executing authority and the NGO will submit a monthly
progress report. The monitoring and evaluation will also include the performance of the

account the prevalent replacement value on the basis of land market survey, undertaken
by the independent valuer appointed by the EA. The prices for land and other assets
established and approved by the LVC will be used for compensation for the Project. These
rates will be reviewed and updated on an annual basis during the course of project
implementation.
GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL COMMITTEE (GRC)
The resettlement plan strongly recommends all efforts to be made to settle grievances of
the affected persons as amicably as possible. Out of court settlement shall be preferred
since that expedites dispute settlement on the one hand and helps timely project
implementation on the other. Grievance redress committees (GRC) will be set up at district
level to resolve the concerns of affected persons (PAPs). The committee will consists of
33
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra
Final DPRResettlement Action Plan
representatives of NGO, representative of people i.e., MP/MLAs, line departments and
affected persons. The GRC will continue to function during the entire life of the project
including the defects liability period. The response time prescribed for the GRC is 15 days.
The GRC will meet once a fortnight to expedite redress of grievances. The functions of the
GRC are as follow:
• provide support to the PAPs on problems arising out of land/property
acquisition
• records the grievances of the PAPs, categorize and prioritize and solve
them within a month
• inform PIUs of serious cases within an appropriate time frame; and
report to the aggrieved parties about progress on their grievances
and decision of the PIUs.
The RAP will have a mechanism to ensure that the benefits are effectively transferred to
the beneficiaries and will ensure proper disclosure and public consultation with the affected
population. However, need also exists for an efficient grievance redressal mechanism that
will assist the DPs in resolving queries and complaints. Therefore, formation of GRC will
be most important for grievance redressal and it is anticipated that most, if not all
grievances, would be settled by the GRC. 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 be constituted at PIU level comprising of Project Director, Resettlement
Officer, representative from local level NGOs, elected representative from Zila Parishad,
representatives of displaced persons including vulnerable groups and women in the
committee. The GRC will be a voluntary body and will continue to function, for the benefit
of the DPs, during the entire life of the Project including the defects liability periods.
The response time prescribed for the GRCs is three weeks. Since the entire resettlement
component of the Project has to be completed before the construction starts for the whole
project, the GRC will meet at least once in three weeks to resolve the pending grievances.
Other than disputes relating to ownership rights under the court of law, GRC will review
grievances involving all resettlement benefits, compensation, relocation, and other
assistance. The agencies responsible for resettlement planning and implementation are
presented below.

Members of GRC: The suitability of the Chairperson will be decided by the District
Collector in consultation with NHAI. The GRC will have representatives of PAPs, NGO and
other opinion leaders who will look into the grievance of the people. It will be chaired by a
retried officer, who served as retired district judge/ DM/Additional DM along with the
nominated persons as well the cell shall have representative from NHAI as convener.
IMPLEMENTATION OF RAP
Implementation of RAP mainly consists of compensation to be paid for affected structures;
rehabilitation and resettlement activities. It is likely that the overall project will be
implemented after the land acquisition and civil works of contract for each sub-project
shall only be awarded when compensations and R & R disbursed to entitled persons and
minimum 80% of the land taken over by NHAI.
Specific situations may require an increase in time, allotted to a task but not limited to
local opposition, seasonal factors, social and economic concerns, training for support staff
and financial constraints. The completion of schedule will involve continuous coordination
among the project management units and the various other involved department and
agencies.
Capacity Building
The implementation of the RAP will require capacity building and orientation of the officers
in charge of LA and R&R at the PD office level. Therefor, it is planned that these officers will
be imparted training and orientation on social safeguards and various aspects of LA and
R&R for effectively implementing the RAP. The training and orientation will be conducted
with the help of consultants and experts. The following components will be covered in the
training.
14.Understanding the NHAI Act, LA and R & R Act, National Policy, World
Bank and ADB guidelines and requirements;
15.Understand the policy procedure adopted under the project;
16.Understanding the Implementation Schedule activities step by step;
17.Understanding of the Monitoring and reporting mechanisms; and
18.Understanding of the economic rehabilitation schemes

Implementation Procedure
The proposed R & R activities are divided into three broad categories based on the stages
of work and process of implementation. The details of activities involved in these three
phases, i.e. Project preparation phase, RAP Implementation phase and Monitoring and
Evaluation period are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Project Preparation Phase
The major activities to be performed in this period include establishment of PIU office and
field level respectively; submission of RAP; appointment of consultants and establishment
of GRC etc. The information and community consultation will be a process initiated from
this stage and will go on till the end of the project
Implementation Phase
• After the project preparation phase the next stage is implementation
of RAP that includes
• Identification of Cut-off date and notification for land acquisition as
per NH Act-1956 regarding land acquisition;
• Verifying of properties of affected persons and estimation of their type
and level of losses;
• Issues regarding payment of compensation and eligible assistance;
• Preparation of affected persons for relocation and rehabilitation of
affected persons;
• Initiation of economic rehabilitation measures and relocation and
rehabilitation of the affected persons;
Monitoring and Evaluation Phase
The project authority will be responsible for carrying out M&E. Internal monitoring will be
carried out by the Social Officer of NHAI with assistance from Social Officer and NGO
whereas external monitoring and evaluation will be carried by a third party. The
institutional arrangement for external monitoring and evaluation will be followed as
mentioned in agreed SEMF. It will engage services of an external agency (third party) to
carry out monitoring and evaluation. This will help monitor project activities closely.
Regular monitoring by undertaking site visits will help identify potential difficulties and
problems faced in the project implementation and subsequently help take timely corrective
36

measures including deviations, if needed.
Monitoring will start as soon as the NGO is mobilized at site for implementation of RAP.
Components of monitoring will include performance monitoring i.e., physical progress of
the work such as construction of houses in relocation site, provision of basic amenities,
relocation of displaced households, etc. and impact monitoring and external evaluation.
Indicators that would be monitored related to performance are provided in the following
sections. However, if during the project implementation some other indicators are found
relevant those shall be included.
Internal Monitoring
The project is responsible for internal monitoring on regular basis with the help of Social
Officer of NHAI and Social Specialist of supervision consultant. A quarterly report of
internal monitoring will be prepared by Social Officer. NHAI will maintain a record of all
transaction in their resettlement database, followed by entitlement records signed by the
affected persons and survey based monitoring of resettlement progress. The internal
monitoring will also provide feedback on community concerns, grievances and requests.
Internal monitoring will focus and ensure the followings:
• Verification that there are no outstanding or unresolved issues with
respect to the project and that property valuation and economic
rehabilitation in accordance with the provision of plan,
• Information campaign, discrimination and consultation with affected
persons,
• Status of relocation and timely disbursement of R&R assistance,
• Value of entitlement received equal to that of actual structure
acquired,
• Use of entitlement and monitor its use,
• Compensation for affected structures and other assets,
• Payments for loss of income,
• Relocation of affected persons and supports provided,
• Implementation of economic rehabilitation and income restoration
measures as per the entitlement matrix,
• Effective operation of the Grievance Redress Committees detailing out

number of complaints received and those resolved; reasons for not
being able to resolve the grievance and status of unresolved
grievances, and
• Funds for implementing economic rehabilitation activities as timely
manner and sufficient for the purposes and spent in accordance with
the plan.
External Periodic Evaluation and Concurrent Monitoring
The implementation activities will be evaluated externally during mid- term and end term
through an independently appointed agency, consultant not involved with any aspects of
the Project, which will also provide support to NHAI. NHAI will hire such external agency. A
survey of affected households will be undertaken to assess the degree to which the
project’s resettlement objectives have been met. The socio-economic survey undertaken
during RAP preparation will form a baseline data, from which many of the indicators can be
measured. A survey at the end of the sub-project period will cover all PAPs and assess
changes caused by the project. The aim of the sample monitoring survey will be to
measure the extent to which PAPs living standards have been restored/improved.
External monitoring will also be conducted to assess the Resettlement Action Plan
implementation and its impacts, verify internal monitoring and suggest adjustment of
delivery mechanisms and procedures. Additional monitoring surveys of a sample of
affected households will be undertaken as a part of this activity. The socio- economic
baseline surveys conducted during resettlement planning will be a part of this monitoring
activity. This activity will be undertaken by an external independent agency trained in
monitoring and evaluation and familiar with resettlement aspect of the infrastructure
development, which will provide feedback on RAP implementation. The cost needed for
such procurement will be borne by the project cost.
The external monitoring will review the resettlement implementation. The
external monitoring involves on:
• Review of RAP Implementation,
• Review of internal monitoring Reports,
• Review of compensation status,
• Rehabilitation supports,
• Relocation status,
38
Consultancy Services for Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgradation to 4-laning of Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded District Border section of NH – 361 under NHDP - IV in the state of Maharashtra

• Information disclosure,
• Process and mechanism of compliance redress,
• Employment status of the PAPs,
• Livelihood restoration, and
• Awareness in HIV/AIDS and human trafficking.
• Based on the above mentioned activities the external monitor will
focus on:
• Evaluation of social and economic impact of relocation and economic
rehabilitation of the project affected persons.
• Verify the objectives of enhancement of economic condition PAPs, or
at least restoration of income levels and standard of living of the
affected persons.
• Furnishing creative suggestions and modifications in relocation
process and economic rehabilitation, if necessary.
• Making ex-post evaluation to ensure all resettlement activities are
properly conducted.
• Verification of internal monitoring to ensure the appropriateness of
activities carried out by program implementation unit in the field.
• Conduct household survey of PAPs to monitor progress comparing
with pre-project, pre-resettlement standard.
• Evaluation of delivery system to the PAPs and assess impacts of
entitlements to determine the approved resettlement action plan.
• Evaluation of consultation and grievance redress procedures to
identify the levels of public awareness of grievance-redressed
procedures, accessed by project affected persons and households for
information and rapid conflict resolution.
• Evaluation of actual operations of grievance committee to assist
project affected persons as required and to act as observers.
• Declaration of successful implementation for summing up of activities
related to entitlements, distribution and resettlement.
Recommend follow up action relating to outstanding actions required to
complete achievement of objectives of the RAP and resettlement policies,

Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act-
2013. The resettlement cost estimate for this project includes eligible compensation as per
entitlement matrix and support cost for RAP implementation. Contingency provisions of
about 10% of the total cost of R & R component is considered in the budget mainly to
meet the inflation and also to meet the cost of additional land acquisition if required. The
valuation of losses has been considered on the basis of consultation with the revenue
officials as well as with the project affected population. Some of the major items of this
R&R cost estimate are outlined below and the R&R budget is presented in Table 9.3.
• Compensation for Land
• Compensation for structures and other immovable assets at replacement cost
• RAP implementation cost
Compensation for Land
The total private land need to be acquired for the proposed project is 268.5.
hectares especially for widening of existing road and development of bypasses and
realignment. The agricultural land price has been calculated on the basis of highest of
circle Rate in the respective village.
The valuation of losses has been considered on the basis of consultation with the revenue
officials as well as project affected people. While the information obtained from the
revenue offices has been treated as actual transaction rate for compensation and the
information obtained from the affected people or villagers is treated as the existing non
official market value. The detail land account is appended in Annexure 9.1.
According to LARRA Act-2013, the market value of land as mentioned under section
26 of act needs to be multiplied by the radial factor (based on the distance of
project from urban area as notified by the appropriate government- e.g
multiplication of 2 in Rural area and Multiplication of 1 in Urban area) plus value of
assets attached to land or building (mentioned in Section 29 of LARRA Act-2013) Plus
Solatium (solatium includes 100% market value multiplied by 2 plus value of assets in
Rural area and multiplied by 1 plus value of assets in urban area).

Since the proposed alignment passes through almost rural areas hence the compensation
for the respective land is derived as per circle rate and four times of the same is
considered as per new act. According to circle rate, the total amount of private land
stands at Rs. 127874112.5 and four times of the same is Rs. 511496450 needs to be
compensated.
Compensation for Structures
The replacement cost of structure is estimated based upon the Basic Schedule Rate
(BSR) of the structure, Roads and Buildings Department, Government of Maharashtra.
The existing structures are either permanent or semi-permanent. As per census
data a total number of 291 structures including 267 private structures are estimated
for the social budget. Maximum numbers of the main structures, which are likely to be
impacted are Semi pucca (34.71%) followed by kutcha (34.02%) and followed by pucca
structures 23.02% Apart from private structures; religious and govt. structures are
also considered for R & R compensation. The solatium 100 percent of the BSR rate of
private structures is included for final compensation. The estimated budget calculation
sheet is appended in Annexure 9.3.

For loss of structures, all PAPs will be compensated for their affected structures at
replacement cost, for which provision has been kept in the Entitlement Matrix. All the
squatters with structures and only vulnerable encroachers will be eligible for assistance for
loss of their structures.
The implementing NGO for RAP will play proactive role to mobilize various government
schemes and ensure their accessibility and benefits to the PAPs, particularly vulnerable
groups. The NGO will work with the local governments to make available to the PAPs
benefits of some of the ongoing pro-poor programs for poverty reduction.
