1. PROJECT AND PUBLIC PURPOSE

Urbanization is a form of social transformation from traditional rural societies to

modern urban communities. The Punjab state has been passing through the phase of fast urban

transformation as out of the total 22 districts of the state, 4 districts have more urban

population than rural population. As per the 2011 Census, Greater Mohali region had a

population of approximately 10 lakhs, comprising of 54.76 per cent in urban areas and 45.24

per cent of people in rural areas.

In view of the growing urbanization and congestion of existing cities, Greater Mohali

Area Development Authority (GMADA) conceived an idea of developing a new independent

and self-sustaining city to cater the projected growth of New Chandigarh (SAS Nagar) in near

future. This is mainly due to Mohali’s proximity to Chandigarh which is entirely urban city.

Punjab Government is developing Mohali just like Chandigarh, and even developing the

surrounding areas, upto Kharar in terms of residential facilities, educational facilities, and

even recreational facilities to tap the maximum urban populace. While land acquisition by

GMADA for many projects namely Eco-City-I, Medicity-I, along with some of the Master

Plan roads falling inside these urban estates is completed now. While land acquisition by

GMADA for many projects namely Eco-City - I, Medicity-I, along with some of the Master

Plan roads falling inside these urban estates is completed now. It is proposed to develop roads

under Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road in SAS Nagar.

Land acquisition for Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road, New

Chandigarh is being carried out as per provision of The Right to Fair Compensation and

Transparency in Land Acquisition and Resettlement and Rehabilitation Act 2013

(RFCTLARR Act, 2013). As per the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, a Social Impact Assessment is

required to carry out before initiating land acquisition notification under section 11 of the act.

One of the Objectives of the Social Impact Assessment is to examine the proposed project, is

a public purpose project. The proposed land acquisition for construction of Master plan of

VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road, SAS Nagar is required for many reasons.

Firstly,it will improve connectivity of raods in SAS Nagar. Secondly, it will also improve the

connectivity with the Airport as earlier the people had to cover the longer distance to reach

the Airport. Thirdly, in view to save the travel time, GMADA conceived the idea to develop

the Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road in the near future.

proposed acquisition of land is mainly used for agricultural purposes.

1.1 Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP)

The Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) is necessary to address the negative

impacts of land acquisition. Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) consists of a set of

institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operational phase of the

project to eliminate adverse social impacts, to offset them to acceptable levels. The main aim

of the SIMP is to ensure that the various adverse impacts are mitigated and the positive

impacts are enhanced.

Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

The term ‘urban’ refers to the geographic territory within or close to a city.

Urbanization is a shift from rural to urban areas, the gradual increase in the proportion of

people living in urban areas and the ways in which each society adapts to the change. The

growth of urban centers is a result of multiple factors such as industrialization, migration,

population increase and recent phenomenon like globalization, privatization and liberalization.

An increase in the number and size of towns and cities leading to the transformation of

population is the most significant dimension of urbanization.

The emerging trends of urbanization in India reveal that urban migration is fairly

significant. A large number of people from rural areas are shifting not only to big cities but

even to medium-sized cities and towns.

Source: Census of India, 2011

According to 2011 Census, India’s population stands 1.21 billion just next to China in

the world. Pressure of population has not only altered the traditional way of life but is also

becoming a big source of utilization of natural resources coupled with other socio-economic

and environmental problems. The sharp rise in the population during the last century has been

witnessing many consequences. In order to satiate the demands of ever increasing population

in the cities, areas around the outskirts of the towns and cities are being transformed into

urban and sub-urban sectors. Among other things, migration of the people from rural to urban

areas has also increased rapidly. The demographic sources indicate that the growth rate of

urban population in India has shown a rise of 80.7 per cent since 1951 as per census of India,

2011.

Punjab, which is known as agrarian state, has also been under severe changes with

regard to occupational distribution and land structure. Punjab is reported as one of the highly

populated states in India with 2.77 crores population with density of 550 persons per sq.km.

(2011). Punjab is also urbanizing rapidly and its future seems to be urban. With urbanization


7

standing at 37.49 per cent, Punjab is ranked fifth major urbanized state of India. The

percentage of urban population in Punjab has been increasing continuously. The number of

towns in the state has also increased from 157 to 217 over the past decade, Table (1.2).

S.A.S. Nagar Mohali, situated in vicinity of Chandigarh, has also been witnessing

sharp rise in urban population. During 2001-2011, the highest urban population growth rate

has been increased at a rapid rate in SAS Nagar (Mohali) district from 38.3 per cent of its

population in towns and cities in 2001 to 54.8 per cent in 2011. Greater Mohali Area

Development Authority (GMADA) has been engaged in this process from last many years.

Punjab Government is developing Mohali just like Chandigarh by developing the connectivity

by Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road.

The Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road has been proposed on an area

of about 38 acres, land acquisition process for which is underway. Greater Mohali Area

Development Authority (GMADA), Government of Punjab has been entrusted to improve

connectivity in SAS Nagar with Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road

and it will also improve the connectivity with the Airport as earlier the people had to cover

the longer distance to reach the Airport.

Background of SIA

Social Impact Assessment (SIA) includes the processes of analyzing, monitoring and

managing the intended and unintended social consequences, both positive and negative, of

planned interventions and any social change processes invoked by those interventions. The

most important outcome of SIA is to develop mitigation plans to overcome the potential

negative impacts on individuals and communities and the society at large.

SIA has now become an integral part of project preparation process. The Right to Fair

Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition and Resettlement and Rehabilitation


8

Act 2013, (RFCTLARR Act, 2013) that replaced the “Land Acquisition Act (LAA), 1894”,

requires a mandatory SIA as a prelude to all projects’ requiring land acquisition. It also

specifies an elaborate process for the conduct of the SIA study and its evaluation through the

Expert Group”. The Expert Group will assess the impact of the project on various things such

as land, transport, housing, lives of people, their occupations, their ownership, their economic

conditions, physical infrastructures (drainage, roads, water availability, sanitation etc.) and

many other things. The Government of Punjab has entrusted Punjab Agricultural University,

Ludhiana, to conduct a SIA study and evaluate the socio-economic consequences as per the

guidelines to ensure that the proposed establishment of Master plan of VR 5 along with 150

feet connectivity road plan.

The acquisition of land is the core issue of this process which may put multi-facet

impact on the society.

1.1 Objectives

Social Impact Assessment is carried out in accordance with the provision of section 4

of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013. The SIA assessed socio-economic impacts of the proposed

acquisition based on information collected from primary and secondary sources. The SIA

study focused on the following objectives:

i. To assess whether the proposed acquisition serves public purpose.

ii. To estimate the number of affected families and number of families among them likely

to be displaced.

iii. To understand the extent of land acquired is bare minimum needed for the project.

iv. To study the social impacts, nature and cost of addressing them and to overview the

impact of these costs on the overall cost of the project vis-à-vis the benefit of the

project.

v. To understand the extent of land (public and private), houses, settlement and other

common properties likely to be affected by the proposed acquisition.

The indicative methodology to study above mentioned aspects of SIA is briefly

presented in Table 1.3.

The social assessment of the project has been carried out as per requirement of

RFCTLARR Act, 2013. The details of methodologies include:

(i) Socio-Economic Field Survey: In order to study the impacts of land acquisition, a

socio-economic survey was carried out during the month of November 2016. The data

was collected through structured schedule from respondents through personal

interviews.

(ii) Stakeholder’s Consultation and Public hearing: Consultations with all stakeholders

was carried out at individual and village level regarding likely impacts of land

acquisition on the livelihood of the people and society.

1.4 Justification of Public Purpose

One of the Objectives of the Social Impact Assessment is to examine the nature of the

proposed project, whether it is a public purpose project or not. The proposed land acquisition

is for developing of Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road in SAS Nagar.

i. Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road is proposed to be developed

by GMADA, situated in New Chandigarh. The proposed Master plan of VR 5 along

with 150 feet connectivity road in Villages Salamatpur, Devinagar, Dhode Majra,

Rasulpur and Saini Majra in SAS Nagar proposes to enhance the road connectivity.

ii. In view of the growing urbanization and congestion of existing cities, GMADA

conceived the idea of developing a new independent and self-sustaining city to cater

the projected growth of Chandigarh and Mohali over the next 20 years.

Keeping in the view the above issues, it is in the public interest to acquire the land for

developing Master plan of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road in SAS Nagar.

impacts of land acquisition. Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) consists of a set of

institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operational phase of the

project to eliminate adverse social impacts, to offset them, to acceptable levels. The main aim

of the SIMP is to ensure that the various adverse impacts are mitigated and the positive

impacts are enhanced.

Chapter 6

COMPENSTION, COSTS AND BENEFITS

Compensation is a basic element of SIA of Land acquisition. In this chapter, broader

aspects of the compensation costs and benefits analysis will be discussed.

6.1 Determination of Compensation

nearest vicinity,

(c) Consented amount of compensation as agreed upon under sub-section (2) of

section in case of acquisition of lands for private companies, whichever is higher.

6.3 Compensation of Land Acquisition

(66 households) showed their willingness to receive fair market value (market rate) of their

land and 36.88 per cent (52 households) opined for collective bargaining for their piece of

land while 1.42 per cent were preferred some other ways i.e. direct deal, land registry etc. to

decide the compensation amount.

6.3 Socio-economic impacts from the project

The Social costs by comparing project’s positive and negative impacts of Master plan

of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road have been discussed below.

Positive Impact Negative Impacts Remarks

Improved connectivity to

Chandigarh

Quick Transport of

agriculture/vegetables

Rise in level of income

Reduced travel time and

vehicle operating costs

Increased price of land

for farmers

Improvement in standard

of living

Improved medical and

health facilities

Dust and Pollution

Poor connectivity to the

village during peak

construction period

Increase in perpetual

traffic problem,

congestion and risk of

accidents during

construction period

Connectivity to the

village during peak

construction period will

get difficult

After careful

examination of

various parameters of

cost and benefit

(positive & negative),

it is found that the

proposed construction

of Master plan of VR

5 along with 150 feet

connectivity road

would benefit the

local community at

large.


44

On the whole, it is concluded that the process of land acquisition has both positive as

well as adverse impacts. But the positive impacts (increased connectivity to Chandigarh,

Quick transport of agricultural products and increased price of land) of this project outweigh

the negative ones. Keeping overall scenario in view, it is found that the proposed Master plan

of VR 5 along with 150 feet connectivity road plan would benefit local community and

society at large.
