EXECUTIVE SUMMARY E1. Introduction Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRT&H) “the Authority� with an aim to provide better connectivity of various existing National Highways, has launched National Green Highways Mission (NGHM) following the promulgation of ‘Green Highways Policy’ in September 2015. Its objectives include developing a systematic framework for integrated green corridor development along NHs and building resilient ecosystems in form of green corridors for combating climate change effects. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, MORT&H (“Authority�), GoI is intended to develop National Highway 516E, an inter-state highway lying in the state Andhra Pradesh. It connects Bharatmala Corridor viz NH-16 at Rajahmundry and NH-26 at Vizianagaram respectively. Out of total stretch in A.P a length of 209.74 km of NH-516E spread in three stretches have been selected: i) Bowdara to Vizianagaram road (26.93 KM) ii) Paderu to Araku (upto Bhalluguda) 49.37 KM and iii) Koyyuru to Paderu (133.09). In this project rehabilitation and up gradation of existing highway to two lanes / two lanes with paved shoulders have been proposed for three stretches, whereas this report deals with the Bowdara - Vizianagarm stretch of NH- 516E ( 26.93 Km). The project road starts starts from Bowdara at existing chainage Km 62/000 to Km 59/000 on State Highway (SH-39), and Km 30/900 to Km 5/900 on Other District Road (ODR) ends at Ramavaram bypass in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh. E2. Project Purpose The project is envisaged to augment capacity for safe and efficient movement of traffic in the National Highways (NH-516E) corridor where the intensity of traffic has increased significantly. Improvements of these selected national highways would improve connectivity, facilitate speedy and smooth transportation with less interruption at a lesser transport cost and in less time, induce economic development of existing growth centres, provide impetus for the development of new growth centres, employment generation and as a consequence poverty alleviation in the project areas. E3. Approach and Methodology The approach underlying the assessment of social impacts and developing appropriate mitigation strategies is based on the principles of local participation and consultations with stakeholders, including vulnerable groups. The SIA study has been carried out with a participatory approach by involving the stakeholders, particularly the project beneficiaries and likely affected persons through a series of consultative processes and techniques. The impacts have been assessed by collecting both quantitative and qualitative types of data. E4. Land Acquisition and Impacts Based on field verification and assessment of revenue maps, it has been found that the land width in project section is varying between 7m to 24m. The existing ROW details collected from 1|Page Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Revenue department. A total of 16.23 ha is to be acquired for the project. Of the total 16.23 ha, private land constitutes 9.75 ha, government land constitutes 6.48 ha. As per the Census survey, a total of 301 structures will be impacted due to project activities. The 301 structures include 253 private structures 36 government structures and 12 CPRs. All 253 structures belong to private owners; no structures found on government land; no squatters and encroachers are getting affected. Among the CPRs affected majority are religious temples. Summary of the total affected structures are given in Table E-1.

Which boost (Gram Panchayat buildings, their livelihood opportunities during schools, Taps, Hand pumps, construction. Bore wells, Temples, community halls) E6. Mitigation Measures Conscious efforts have been made for avoidance of land acquisition and minimize the adverse social impacts as integral part of the entire project preparation and design of the proposed road. Wherever unavoidable, efforts to minimize impacts through design interventions have worked out for the project. Improvements are planned within the available EROW/ land width. The cross sections are designed to accommodate with the existing ROW/ land width. As per the width required in the Corridor of Impact (CoI) for the actual construction of the road, which include carriageway, shoulders and embankments, the social inputs to the project design shall ensure that the COI is reduced, within the acceptable design principle and standards, to minimize the adverse social impacts. E7. Cost Estimation A broad resettlement budget has been estimated taking into account the ongoing market rate and its guidelines for compensation for land; R&R assistance and administrative costs. The estimated Resettlement Budget INR 62.55 Crores. E8. Grievance Redress Mechanism In the project RP implementation there is a need for an efficient Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) that will assist the PAPs in resolving their queries and complaints. Therefore, formation of Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be most important for grievance redress and it is anticipated that most, if not all grievances, would be settled by the GRC. The grievance redress committee members and their responsibilities are given in details in Chapter 12 of GRM. 3|Page Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 1. DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Project Background Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRT&H) “the Authority� with an aim to provide better connectivity of various existing National Highways, has launched National Green Highways Mission (NGHM) following the promulgation of ‘Green Highways Policy’ in September 2015. Its objectives include developing a systematic framework for integrated green corridor development along NHs and building resilient ecosystems in form of green corridors for combating climate change effects. The green corridors, relevant from both climate mitigation and adaptation perspective, are being seen as the solution to fulfill India’s commitment for voluntary reduction of carbon emissions. The GoI plans to carry out plantation along the NHs with participation of the local communities, farmers, NGOs, private sector, government agencies and Forest Departments (state level). The Government of Andhra Pradesh (Roads and Buildings Department), under National Highway Wing of Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, MORT&H (“Authority�) is i ntended to develop National Highway 516E, an inter-state highway lying in the State Andhra Pradesh. It connects Bharatmala Corridor viz NH-16 at Rajahmundry and NH-26 at Vizianagaram respectively. The project road starts from Rajahmundry and connects the habitations of Rampachodovaram – Koyyuru- Paderu- Araku – Bhalluguda – Bowdara- Vizianagaram. This National Highway covers a distance of 375.90 km in Andhra Pradesh. Out of total stretch in A.P a length of 209.74 km of NH-516E spread in three stretches have been selected: i) Bowdara to Vizianagaram road (26.93 KM) ii) Paderu to Araku (upto Bhalluguda) 49.37 KM and iii) Koyyuru to Paderu (133.09). M/s SATRA Infrastructure Management Services Private Limited has been appointed to establish the technical, economical and financial viability of the project and prepare Feasibility and Preliminary Design report for rehabilitation and up gradation of existing highway to two lanes / two lanes with paved shoulders for Bowdara to Vizianagaram stretch of NH- 516E of a total length of 26.93 Km. The project road starts from Bowdara at existing chainage Km 62/000 to Km 59/000 on State Highway (SH-39), and Km 30/900 to Km 5/900 on Other District Road (ODR) ends at Ramavaram bypass in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh. 1.2 PROJECT PURPOSE The project is envisaged to to augment capacity for safe and efficient movement of traffic in the National Highways (NH-516E) corridor where the intensity of traffic has increased significantly. Improvements of these selected national highways would improve connectivity, facilitate speedy and smooth transportation of bulk goods with less interruption at a lesser transport cost and in less time, induce economic development of existing growth centres, provide impetus for the development of new growth centres, employment generation and as a consequence poverty alleviation in the project areas. In this context, some of the major social development objectives of the project comprise the following: • Everybody concerned is a partner in the development process; 4|Page Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report • No one is adversely affected due to the implementation of the project; any adverse impact is to be appropriately mitigated; • Maximization of the benefits to the people arising from the road rehabilitation and capacity augmentation programme while minimizing the negative social impacts on the affected people by incorporating the social safety measures. The objectives of GNHCP are • To develop a systematic framework for Integrated Green Corridor Development along the proposed National Highways. • To provide better connectivity of the various existing national highways in the country and induce socio-economic development’s in the project area. • Build resilient ecosystem in the form of green Corridor along the national highways for combating global warming and climate change effects, optimum Green House Gasses sequestration, off site conservation of RET species of the region. • To create sustainable employment to the locals in the project area. 1.3 THE PROJECT ROAD DESCRIPTION The proposed project road section has lane configuration from intermediate lane to two lanes. It has intermediate lane width of 13.50 km length, and two lane of 12.87 Km length. It passes through major habitations areas like Bowdara, Thatipudi, Gantayada and ends at Ramavaram By pass at National Highway 26 of Vizianagaram district. The terrain is the plain for the entire length. The Condition of road is poor (70% of the section is average or poor) to very poor condition with earthen shoulders (width is between 0.4 m and 0.75 m) except at a few isolated built-up locations. The built-up section along the project road constitutes to a length of 4.45 Km. Congestion due to vehicular and pedestrian movements have increased vulnerability to accidents and safety issues to the road users. There are many locations along the road alignment which requires geometric improvements to maintain the riding quality and hindrance free movements of the vehicles to avoid accidents. Between chainages 2/700 to 3/280 and 9/680 to 11/150 etc., at 9 no locations sharp curves (radius < 90m) are observed. Further, at 11 no. locations vertical gradient is varying from 3.3%-5% in 360 m length and at 9 no. locations vertical gradient is more than 5% in 500 m length. Due to the aforesaid factors these locations have become accident prone. Geometric Improvement of the highway is proposed for above stretches in particular and generally taken up for the entire road. The land along the project road is mostly agricultural land, except at built up areas, where there is nominal barren land. There is an additional land requirement for about 16.23 ha and total land parcel are 420 approximately. The total numbers of the families affected due to impact on structures are 253 and all of them are title holders with nil encroachments. These structures of the affected families are mainly residential, commercial and mix of residential and commercial besides others such as cattle sheds, toilets, compound walls, etc.In addition there are 48 CPR’s that comprise schools 2, Religious structures 12, Bus stands 8, government buildings 1 and others 25 such as compound walls, Toilets, Hand pumps, Taps etc. These also comprise 53 economic and social vulnerable families comprising 11 schedule Tribes and 4 Schedule caste, Women Headed Households 19, BPL 7 and 12 old age. The project road is located in Vishakhapatnam and Vizianagaram districts of Andhra Pradesh State.

The proposed up-gradation of the NH-516E aims to: • Improve horizontal and vertical alignment of the existing road • The quality of existing pavement condition is poor and proposed for reconstruction • Increase the carrying capacity of the existing traffic volume and enable it to cater to future traffic • Enhance mobility to the remote places and improve accessibility of the existing highways • Boosts Tourism in hill stations Araku, Lambasinghi and Borra Caves 1.6 Proposed Improvement Design improvement in the project road is done taking into consideration the lane configuration, widening scheme, speed, embankment height and the urban or rural setting of the road. Improvements in the geometric design have been proposed in rural area to eliminate the substandard curvatures along the project road. (a) Design Speed Design speed in general depends on the function of the road and terrain conditions and shall be as per schedule B Clause 2.2 The design speed shall be the minimum design speed of 100/80 km per hour for plain/rolling terrain. As per Clause 2.1, IRC SP: 73 - 2015, the design speeds 9|Page Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report adopted for various terrain classifications are presented in below table (Terrain is classified by the general slope of the ground across the highway alignment) . Table 1-5: Design Speed as per Standards Cross slope of the Design speed (km/hr) Nature of Terrain ground (%) Ruling Minimum Plain& Rolling Upto 25 100 80 Mountainous& Steep >25 60 40 In general, the ruling design speed is adopted for the various geometric design features of the road. Minimum design speed is adopted where site conditions are restrictive and adequate land width is not available. The proposed design speed varies from 80-50 km/h in rolling terrain and 50 km/h in hilly terrain. (b) Embankment Height The embankment height shall be fixed in such a way that the difference between the elevation of top of sub grade and High Flood Level (HFL) is not less than 1.0m. Where there is no flooding observed, the existing road may be retained. In many sections, the road top level is almost equal to the adjacent ground level or the embankment height is less than 0.5 m. from adjoining ground. Some locations may need raising to address drainage problem. However the proposed FRL shall be designed in such a way that nowhere the edge of proposed roadway goes below the ground adjacent to toe of embankment slope. In this respect special care shall be taken at the locations of super elevated curves. (c) Bypasses in the Project Road No bypasses planned. (d) Realignments in the Project Road Realignments in 2 sections have been proposed of 1.9 Km length to improve horizontal alignment of the road geometry and for the safety of the road users. Details in Chainage-wise are given below in Table 1-6.

This may, however, be reduced to a minimum of 1.0 m if necessary land is not available or cannot be acquired and if there is no need for afforestation. 10 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report (e) Proposed Lane Configuration Based on the traffic demand forecast and considering a Level of Service (LoS) “B� as the desired LoS, as recommended by IRC. It is apparent that the existing 2-lane roadway needs capacity augmentation to a roadway with 2-lane plus 1.5 m wide paved shoulder and 2m earthen shoulder on either side. Apart from capacity increase, paved shoulders play a big role in roadway safety as well as protection of carriageway pavement. Therefore, the existing road is proposed for widening to 2 lane + 1.5 m paved shoulder and 2m earthen shoulder on either side. The improvement proposal envisages widening of the existing road to standard two-lane carriageway having paved carriage shall be 10 m (7.0m CW/1.5m PS & 2m Earthen Shoulder on either side) in accordance with the typical cross section drawings. The typical cross section has been shown in Figure 2 below for Project road. 11 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Figure 2: Typical Road Cross Section for Bowdara – Vizianagaram Section Road TCS-1 _2-LANE WITH PAVED SHOULDER IN RURAL SECTION (Overlay with Widening) 12 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report TCS-2 _2-LANE WITH PAVED SHOULDER IN RURAL SECTION (Realignments and Curve Improvemengt) TCS-3 _2-LANE WITH PAVED SHOULDER IN BUILTUP SECTION (Concentric –overlay with widening) 13 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report TCS-4 _2+1 LANES ON EACH SIDE TOLL PLAZA SECTION (Concentric –overlay with widening) 14 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Typical cross section schedule Design Chainage (CH) PROW Length (m) TCS Type Remarks SL.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 2.1 Introduction The approach underlying the assessment of social impacts and developing appropriate mitigation strategies is based on the principles of local participation and consultations with stakeholders, including vulnerable groups. The SIA study has been carried out with a participatory approach by involving the stakeholders, particularly the project beneficiaries and likely affected persons through a series of consultative processes and techniques with the following objectives. • Collect information using suitable tools regarding project impacts; • Differentiate the properties and assets likely to be affected by type of ownership and construction, etc; • Assess the extent of loss of properties (land, structure and others) of individual as well as that of community and loss of livelihood; • Conduct meaningful consultations with likely PAPs, community and other stakeholders; • Establish a baseline profile of population, social structure, employment, sources of income, access to social services and facilities, etc. The methods that were adopted during the survey and social analysis and assessment are: 2.2 Census and Socio-economic survey A socio-economic profile for the project area has been prepared based on the information collected from various secondary sources. Census and socio-economic survey was conducted to generate baseline information on socio-economic conditions of the PAPs and to assess the extent of impacts due to proposed upgrading of project road for each structures and properties. The survey was carried out by using a Census and Socioeconomic survey questionnaire (Annexure 2.1). A Resettlement Action Plan has also been prepared for the project, based on Census baseline survey and socio-economic survey of 35% of affected families. The approach adopted is as follows: • Zeroing-in on the project impact zone, covering all the villages and other habitations falling within area. • Collecting base line socio-economic survey includes the collection of information from primary and secondary sources for impact zone. Information with respect to the villages in the project impact zone in terms of census village code, name of the tehsil in which a particular village falls, number of households, population level 1 and growth of village population during the last decade, Household Information, Social Status Type of Family, Income from Various sources, Vulnerable category of the household, Type of inventory losses, impact category etc. • Collection of secondary information from different government sources like Census of India, Economic and Statistics department, agriculture department, social welfare & women development department • Gathering macro level socio-economic information, at Mandal/Tahsil level, with the help of secondary data. • Identifying critical knowledge/information gaps which impede an objective and reliable assessment of the socio-economic impacts of the project. 1 Directorate of Economic and Statistics, Vijayawada, GoIAP, 2016 & Census 2011 data. 16 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report • Zeroing-in on the data/information to be collected for a fair impact assessment and deciding upon the sources and means to collecting the same. • Identifying the key stakeholders and potential respondents for collecting the required information. • Drawing a sampling frame and size specifying sample villages/municipal wards, number of households to be contacted for primary data/information collection and agencies to be contacted for eliciting information on various aspects relevant to the SIA. • Finalisation of survey instruments, constitution of a survey team and orientation of field investigators. • Carrying out field surveys in the sample villages/municipal wards and simultaneously carrying out data accuracy and reliability checks. • Analysis of primary and secondary information collected from different sources. On the basis of primary data, analysis has been done on potential social and economic impacts, categorization of impacts, risks, potentials impacts and alternatives etc . • Processing, tabulation and analysis of data with the help of appropriate statistical tools. • Interpretation of data to arrive at valid conclusions. The process involves documentation of social assessment process and impact information. 2.3 Stakeholder Consultations To identify social impacts and concerns, consultations were undertaken with primary stakeholders: beneficiaries, poor and vulnerable groups, people who may potentially be impacted adversely by the project, and the implementing agency. Consultations were also carried out with secondary stakeholders: local community based organizations (CBOs), and community representatives as well as government departments etc. A team comprising of various social development professionals carried out these consultations. Prior to the commencement of consultations extensive training of the field teams by a social scientist on the approach, methodology and tools was carried out. Types of consultations conducted are as follows: Community consultations were held along major settlements near to the proposed alignment and with those who are likely to be connected because of implementation of the proposed project. Meetings have been held with affected titleholders, cultivators, shopkeepers etc. at few important junctions along the project stretch. Focus group discussions were conducted with a cross-section of men and women in the community. The objective of these discussions was to gain an in-depth understanding of project issues and concerns from homogeneous groups of discussants, including people who may be affected from loss of land/livelihood. The consultations focused on: inclusiveness in participation of community members, perceptions and concerns about the positive and negative social impacts of the project, and willingness of community members in providing land. Gender Analysis has been given proper emphasis during public consultation discussions. Separate discussions were held with women so that they could share their experience on issues such as by pass, bus bays, employment, transportation issues. Their collective perception about project impacts and probable benefits particularly for the women was recorded and separate document on Gender Based Violence (GBV) has been prepared separately at Volume 2. 17 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Table 2-1: Tools of Consultations Tools of Consultation Purpose Stakeholders Public meeting, Focus Group Discuss the objective of the Tribal Community, Other Discussion project homogeneous groups, civil society organizations, NGOs, local leaders, Government officials Public meeting, Focus Group Social impact Tribal Community, Other Discussion • Land homogeneous groups, civil • Structure society organizations, NGOs, • CPR local leaders, Government officials Public meeting, Focus Group Social Concern Tribal Community, Other Discussion • Road Safety homogeneous groups, civil • Critical Junctions society organizations, NGOs, • Rural Roads local leaders, Government • Slow moving vehicles officials, women groups, • Fare/Festival Traffic Truckers, vulnerable road • Environmental users etc. improvement Individual Level Consultations Individual level consultations were conducted enabling the stakeholders to speak freely and confidentially about controversial and sensitive issues and to build personal relations with stakeholders and record the interviews. The purpose is to understand the social concerns of the directly or indirectly impacts persons. Individual consultation at this level will gathers opinion and views of the directly or indirectly impacted families. During the social survey, with the interview based questionnaire the consultations were carried out along the project road with PAP’s.

TPPD and its plan are prepared to adhere to national legislations and its policies and World Bank Policy OP 4.10 Indigenous people. It suggests for assessment of impacts and preparation of mitigation measures where Scheduled Tribes population are involved. The anticipated adverse impacts are due to land acquisition and partially affected structures which may cause sort of relocation that have traditional ownership or that are under customary occupation. The tribe population play a role in enhancing/promoting the cultural heritage of the project area and its ST community of the proposed road development interventions. The villages under the scheduled areas of “PESA Act� protect the tribal population from exploitation by making Gram Sabha’s and Gram Panchayat centers for self -governance and exclusively empowers local which safeguard and preserve the tradition and customs of the people and their cultural identity, community resources, and customary mode of dispute resolution. TPPD suggests carrying out Free, Prior, and Informed Consultations (FPIC)/Gram Sabha for proposed project which are in Fifth Schedule Areas. This is with the objective of obtaining their views and suggestions regarding the proposed project interventions. Gram Sabha’s and Panchayats consultations under ‘PESA act’ intends to fully identify the views of affected community and ascertain their broad community support for the project during various stages such as project preparation, implementation and maintenance. In consultation with the affected Tribal population in the project area, potential adverse impact were identified and a Tribal Development Plan has been prepared as detailed in Volume 2. 2.5 Social Impacts Social impacts identify the potential for loss of land, assets/structures, livelihoods, willingness of the community to provide land to the project, and other significant social impacts. Where the extent of adverse social impacts is minor and no displacement or loss of assets or livelihoods is expected, no further action is required. However, where the social impact indicates that land acquisition and/or loss of assets are unavoidable, appropriate resettlement plans will be prepared. 2.6 Resettlement Policy Framework Major resettlement is unlikely under the project. However, in order to address the impacts on land acquisition and involuntary Resettlement under this project, Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has been followed which addresses all impacts arising from: (i) loss of land; (ii) loss of 19 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report homes/structures; (iii) loss of livelihood systems/income opportunity; and (iv) loss of community property resources such as religious and cultural structures. RPF lays down the principles and procedures for management of social impacts caused by the project and guide the social impact assessment and preparation of mitigation plans including Resettlement Action Plans and Tribal Development Plans for the project in accordance with GoI policies, State laws and World Bank OP. 20 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 3. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT PLAN 3.1 Need for Minimisation of Impact Development of infrastructure projects like National Highways/State Highways improvements and upgradation of the existing roads will have adverse impacts on the society. Such adverse impacts are considered as issues that are directly and indirectly affects residents which includes loss of land and structure, loss of livelihood, loss of community property along with the fragmentation of the society. If such negative issues are not addressed properly, it may happen that the outcome of the project negative impacts would outweigh the project positive impacts, thus putting a question mark on the project sustainability. However, efforts were made to minimize negative impacts through intervention of world Bank policies and Rehabilitation and Resettlement measures by exploring all the feasible options without compromising the safety aspects. The spirit of the policies has been followed by while preparing the RAP for this project. 3.2 Design Consideration 3.2.1 Proposed Design Standards for Highways The project road generally runs in rolling plain terrain in the state of Andhra Pradesh. As per IRC design manual for 2 lanes and 4 lanes, 30m in widening of existing road to 2lane with paved shoulder has been proposed. At isolated locations like junctions, rest areas, high embankments, entry and exit location of service road etc the safety aspects to be considered for the proposed designs. The design criteria, method applied for important components of the project are as follows: Geometric Design : IRC Standards and MoRT&H Manuals as well as circulars on National Highways supplemented by AASHTO policy on geometric design. New Pavement - IRC 37-2012 and AASHTO Design guide, for design of flexible pavements - IRC 58-2015 for design of rigid pavements Structure Design : Bridge Codes as mentioned in QAP Road Furniture & : Related standards of IRC & MoRT&H publications Road side Facilities Besides the above, standards and specifications mentioned in IRC:SP:73-2015 and IRC:SP:84-2014 shall be followed strictly wherever applicable Based on the outcome of the surveys/investigations, design considerations, Road safety audit, social and environment screening of the existing section, the improvement plan for proposed highway has been prepared by the technical design team. The improvement/up-gradation proposals of Existing Road to two lane Paved shoulder include the provisions Geometric Improvements, realignments, widening proposals and reconstruction, Grade separators, Pavement, Road Junctions, Bridges and Cross-Drainages, Special Problems and Road Appurtenances. In some cases new alignments (by-pass) and realignments may also be required. 21 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report The adopted cross sectional elements as per the design standards and salient features of the project are presented below at Table 3.1 Table 3-1: Project Improvement plan of Project Road S.No Particulars Existing Proposed 1 Project Stretch Km 62.000 to Km Km 0.000 to Km 26.937 59.000 & Km 30.900 to Km 5.900 2 Project Length 28.000 km 26.93 km 3 Carriageway 6.75 to 11.30 m 7.0 m + earthen shoulders 7.0 m + paved shoulders 4 ROW (m) 7 to 24 m 24 m existing road and 30 m in bypass and realignment 5 Realignment - 1.920 Km 6 Junctions 1 1 – Bowdara Realignment at Km 2+700. 7 Major Bridges 2 0 Retain,1 New proposals 8 Minor Bridges 17 1 Reconstruction, 2 Retain and 1 new proposals. 9 Culverts 74 Pipe Culverts:,13 widening.

The comparative evaluation to select the final alignment will be depended largely on the site constraints and construction methodology. Some of the key factors to conduct of these studies to locate potential alternative bypass alignments and realignments are as follows: • Land use and availability of land • Minimum impact on the existing settlements, Commercial property and public utilities • Minimizing interface with the religious structure such as temple, mosque, churches and crematories • Optimum utilization of the existing pavement and RoW at the location of the curve improvement • Traffic capacity and road safety should be optimized • Minimize changes to the existing drainage system Based on the above factors, the following Cross Sections have been adopted • Widening is done along the existing alignment eccentrically/Concentrically in the rural areas and built-up areas. • In the absence of the adequate RoW, the deficient curves are improved as per the guides of the MoRTH. • Efforts made to keep the additional land requirement to bare minimum through accommodating the widening within the existing RoW. • Number of realignments proposed in compatible with the geometric improvements and operational requirements as per site conditions are 2 at Bowdara at Km 2+700 and Thatipudi at Km 9+700 to Km 11+100. 22 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report • In transition build up area, the widening has been proposed in the existing RoW to restrict future encroachments. Many section of the project road are passing through the congested towns. Possibility of realignment/ bypass along the project road has been examined through field verification and surveys. As stated earlier, where the RoW is not sufficient to improve the geometrics and there is congestion and poor traffic condition. Then major realignments are proposed at Bowdara junction (Km 2+700 to Km 3+500 – 0.45km) and Thatipudi (Km 9+680 to Km 11+150 – 1.4 km) and realignments and curve improvements of length 6.6 Km to improve the sub-standards curves and poor geometry. 3.4 Analysis of Alternative 3.4.1 Bowdara Junction The existing road in this section fall Km 59+300 to Km 30+700 and passes through junction which requires the horizontal curve improvement The proposed realignment improves the existing geometry of the road avoiding impact on structures, with increasing speed. Figure 3 gives the satellite imagery of the Bowdara junction and shown alignment options. Figure 3: Analysis of Alternative at Bowdara Junction 3.4.2 Thatipudi This existing road in this section fall Km 24+200 to Km 23+450 and passes through the congested places with residential structures along the project road. It also requires geometry improvement in these locations. Figure 4 gives the satellite imagery of the Thatipudi realignment proposed as alignment options explored. 23 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report The realignment proposed is to avoid the build-up areas and alignment close to the dam on RHS. Alignment proposed on the LHS of the existing road passes through the agricultural fields with new bridge as part of the exiting site conditions and to improve geometry curves with speed and road safety along design length of 1.4 km. While the conditions are not feasible for any other option as alignment to pass through as it has dam constructed on RHS. Figure 4: Analysis of Alternative at Thatipudi 3.4.3 Conclusion Alternatives alignments options have been studies for the realignments on the rights /left hand side and found not feasible as the alignment passes through the build-up area and congestions, high cutting at dam site. For the suitable alignments no structure will be affected and also reduces the overall road length as compared to the existing length. 24 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 4. SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE PROJECT AREA 4.1 Socio-Economic Base line The base line socio-economic base line information has been collected from various primary sources like socio-economic condition of the population, impact on private structures (residential, commercial and encroachments) in addition, detailed information on impact on community assets has also been collected(religious structure, educational institutions are collected). The influence area has been considered as the surrounding mandal’s of the project corridor, Anatagiri mandal of Vishakhapatnam and Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh. The existing corridor length of 26.93 km covers Bowdara, Thatipudi, Gantayada, Ramavaram Mandal’s. The proposed project road will improve the accessibility of the inhabitants of the rural areas to education, health, employment, and trading opportunities and will consequently alleviate poverty in the process. The improvement will help to increase new economic and employment opportunities by providing improved linkages to markets, production centers and other areas of economic opportunities. As a result, people will have wider options in buying and selling their commodities. The villagers would be able to transport their produce faster and get more profit margins instead of depending solely on local ‘markets’ and middlemen. Fourth, improved connectivity will facilitate travel to tehsil headquarters and other local government/development agencies. Women will especially benefit, since their mobility will be augmented both in terms of access to social services, as well as access to higher levels of schooling. Women’s access to higher levels of health care outside the village particularly during the time of childbearing will also improve considerably. Hence, the proposed Project will bring in economic and social changes in the area, which in turn would bring economic prosperity and would lead to poverty alleviation. Within this given background, this section has made an attempt to understand the social, economic and demographic characteristics of Bowdara - Vizianagaram road starts from Bowdara at existing chainage Km 62/000 to Km 59/000 on State Highway (SH-39), and Km 30/900 to Km 5/900 on Other District Road (ODR) ends at Ramavaram bypass in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh respectively. 4.2 Socio-Economic Profile of the Influence Zone As mentioned earlier, considering influence zone to study the developments taking place within the region, and noted possible improvements in the connectivity to major tourism locations etc., falling within the proposed road.

LAND ACQUISITION AND IMPACTS 5.1 Introduction The improvement/up-gradation of 26.93 Km of this project road will have direct as well as indirect impacts. The direct losses likely to be experienced by the people are loss of residential structure, loss of commercial structure, loss of agricultural land, loss of fruit bearing and non-fruit bearing trees, loss of common property etc. Similarly, widening of the existing roads and acquisition of land have many likely indirect affects. In India ribbon development / congestion along the state highways and other roads are an uncontrolled phenomenon and this project road is not an exception. There are areas where education, health and religious institutions are constructed within the RoW of the project road. Nevertheless, the social benefits arising due to the project shall trigger improved accessibility to various services such as easy access to markets, health facilities, schools, workplace etc. It will in turn increase the income of the local people and elevate their standard of living. In this project road, the impact is only on land owners and the project road has no non-titleholders that includes squatters and encroachers. The land intake is due to proposed bypasses, realignments and curve improvements. A detailed census survey for all likely affected structures was conducted followed by socio economic survey for 35% of affected families. The census and socio economic survey was conducted only for structure owners and the survey for land owners was not able to be conducted as the land surveys/Joint Measurement Surveys by Revenue department has not yet been conducted. 5.2 Land Acquisition Estimates for the Project Stretch Based on field verification and assessment of revenue maps, it has been found that the land width in project section is varying between 7m to 24m. The existing ROW details collected from Revenue department. A total of 1 6.23 ha i s to be acquired for the pro ject. Of the total 16.23 ha, private land constitutes 9.75 ha, government land constitutes 6.48 ha. A district-wise Land Acquisition detail of 17 affected villages in the project stretch is given in Table 5-1 below.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES 6.1 Introduction The construction and operation of the proposed national highways involves various activities. The impacts of these activities on environmental and social attributes have been identified and discussed with respective mitigation measures under separate headings in EIA report and continued in this chapter. The impacts have been assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively for various environmental and social components. The impacts are identified by the development and operational activities resulting from the proposed project. 6.2 Impacts After a series of consultations held with community in project influence zone, people are found to be in favour of construction of roads under the project, primarily since the approach roads will improve the urban and rural connectivity to key economic centers of the state, development of tourism and thus will improve their day to day affairs. The overall social, economic and political status of the tribal community in tribal areas shows that they are trying to integrate with the mainstream society and their lifestyle. 6.2.1 Positive Impacts ➢ Improved pavements will invite transport operation connecting remote areas improving access to markets, jobs, education and health services ➢ Crop pattern may change so that the perishable cash crops can have an easy access to the markets and get better prices for their agriculture products. ➢ Tourism will improve contributing to the local economic activities ➢ Better accessibility to infrastructure and services in the project influence area ➢ Reduce travel time, fuel consumption and pollutants emitted from the operated vehicles. ➢ Access to transportation on safe roads has direct impacts on economic standing and quality of life in affected community. ➢ Some of the barriers in the agency areas are access to good health care, medical assistance and education facilities. Provided better roads, maternal mortality in affected communities and cost of transportation is reduced, and improves health and educational services. ➢ Enhancement in the well-being, women become more independent and lessen the risks associated with their vulnerabilities, promoting gender and social equality. ➢ Reduction in road accidents resulting in reducing deaths and injuries ➢ Increased industrial, business and commercial activities ➢ Direct or indirect increase in job/ employment opportunities 6.2.2 Negative Impacts ➢ Improvement of existing roads requires acquisition of agriculture lands and landed assets. 36 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report ➢ Temporary or permanent loss of livelihood due to acquisition of lands and involuntary relocation of the project affected families. ➢ Conflicts due to influx of construction workers ➢ Likely adverse impacts due to the noise and vibrations in the surrounding areas during construction phase ➢ Some of the common property likes religious structures, schools, hospitals, bus shelters, government and communities building are impacted during the construction of the project ➢ A variety of utilities serving in the regional needs like electricity poles, transformers, telephones towers/poles, water pipelines, and drainage and sewage systems which are within the impact zone shall be impacted. 6.2.3 Mitigation Measures Adoption of Corridor of Impact approach to ensure that the width required for the actual construction of the road, including carriageway, shoulder and embankments is retained and the social inputs to project design shall ensure that the corridor of impact is reduced, within acceptable design principles and standards, towards avoidance of land acquisition and minimize adverse social impacts. Some of the significant steps towards this will be: • The acquisition of land and private properties shall be carried out in accordance with the RAP and entitlement framework of the Project. Concerned owners will be informed in advance to shift the utilities in coordination with the project proponents before construction starts to avoid disruption of regional services. • Alignment shift to minimise the impact on the religious and community structures, if unavoidable relocation will be undertaken after adequate consultations. • Participatory approach taken up for discussions with the various stakeholders for building community consensus to to resolve project related impacts on the community at large. 6.3 Impacts on Vulnerable Communities The study found that a large section of the affected community belongs to tribal groups who are socially and economically weaker and prone to vulnerable conditions other than SC’s and backward castes. These communities earn on daily basis for their livelihood. Many of them do not have access to social infrastructure facilities, hence literacy and income levels are low etc. The most vulnerable of them are the women, though they work more than men. 6.3.1 Mitigation Measures In order to strengthen the government schemes to tackle social exclusion and poverty. Special emphases shall be given to health and educational facilities in tribal region. Adivasi educational institution should be promoting safe and inclusive school environment. Traditional knowledge of women including healing practices shall be promoted for indigenous treatment systems. Training and skill development programs to be given to empower their abilities for promoting gender equality and social, economic and political inclusion. 6.4 Impacts during the construction Stage During construction phase, various types of equipment will be brought to the site. These include D G Sets, batching plant, drillers, earthmovers, rock bolters, etc. The storing and working space requirement of this construction equipment’s would be significant. In addition, land will also be 37 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report temporarily acquired for the duration of project construction for storage of the quarried material before crushing, crushed material, cement rubble, etc. The proposed road project would envisage construction of temporary camps to accommodate construction workers from outside. This immigration of the labours for the project is known to cause the problem for arranging the space for their stay and livelihood. Labour camps require space nearby construction site to house the laborers. The immigration of large number of labour force will create problems of storing, treating and disposing the sewage waste and solid waste management. This may result in discharge of sewage into the nearby water body spreading water borne diseases such as malaria and pathogenic diseases. 6.4.1 Mitigation Measures The Contractor shall preferably use unskilled labour drawn from local communities to give maximum benefits to the local community. The Contractor as per prevalent rules shall carry out negotiations with the Panchayat member and the land owners in fair manner for obtaining their consent for temporary use of lands for construction camp/construction/borrow areas etc. Temporary land arrangements shall not be from the forest reserves except under special permission circumstances where it is unavoidable due to the vast forest reserves in Project Influence Area. He should also ensure Sewage system for the camp are designed, built and operated in such a manner that no health hazards occurs and no pollution to the air, ground water or adjacent water courses take place. Adequate water supply, safe and convenient passage for vehicles, pedestrians and livestock to and from roadsides and property access connecting the project road, providing temporary connecting road is to be provided for all. 6.5 Impacts during the Operation Stage Most of the project road stretch passes through agricultural areas, frequented by transportation of agricultural equipment’s, harvested crops and domestic animals for grazing purposes. The common traffic – animal conflict is accidents by rash driving or breakdown of vehicles leading to death of cattle and domestic animals. Most significant issues at this stage are pedestrian safety, traffic safety, and emergency preparedness that may impact the terrestrial ecology. 6.5.1 Mitigation Measures Commuters and road using community will be educated on the road safety issues to reduce the accidents involving traffic animal. PWD shall ensure that all drains (side drains, median drain and all cross drainages) are periodically cleared especially before monsoon season to facilitate the quick passage of rainwater and avoid flooding.

POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK 7.1 Introduction The legal framework and principles adopted for addressing resettlement issues in the project have been guided by the existing legislation and policies of the Government of India (GOI), the State Government of Andhra Pradesh. Prior to the preparation of the RAP, a detailed analysis of the existing national and state policies was undertaken and the section below provides details of the various national and state level legislations studied and their applicability for the project. This RAP is prepared based on the review and analysis of all applicable legal and policy frameworks of the country. 7.2 Some Important legal provisions to safeguard tribal interests 7.2.1 The Agency Tracts Interest and Land Transfer Act, 1917: Enacted in 1917 This act checked transfers of land in the Agency tracts of Ganjam (presently in Orissa), Visakhapatnam (covering the present Srikakulam, Vizianagarm and Visakhapatnam districts) and Godavari (covering the present East and West Godavari districts) districts. It regulated debt and interest on the borrowings by the hill tribes and transfer of their immovable property. It was enacted primarily to safeguard the interest of hill tribes of the area over which it extended and to protect them from exploitation by non-tribals and moneylenders. It permitted transfer of land only among tribal and laid down that the interest accrued over the debts borrowed by the tribal shall not exceed the principal amount. The land acquisition in the proposed project will be abided by the PESA Act. 7.2.2 The Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959 This promulgation extended the provisions of the Agency Tracts Interest and Land Transfer Act, 1917 of the former Madras presidency to the scheduled areas of the Andhra region (Srikakulam, Vizianagarm, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari and West Godavari districts) of the reorganized state of Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Pradesh was reorganized with effect from 1st November 1956 duly including the telugu speaking areas of the then Madras Presidency and the former Hyderabad State). Through a separate Regulation it was further extended to the tribal tracts of Telangana region (Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Mahabubnagar districts) with effect from 1st December 1963. 7.2.3 The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 This is an act to recognize and vest the forest rights and occupation in forest land in forest dwelling scheduled tribes and other traditional forest dwellers who have been residing in such forests for generations but whose rights could not be recorded; to provide for a framework for recording the forest rights so vested and the nature of evidence required for such recognition and vesting in respect of forest land. 7.3 Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act (RFCT in LARR), 2013 The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCT in LARR Act - 2013) has been effective from January 1, 2014 after receiving the assent of the President of Republic of India. This Act extends to the whole of India except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Act replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. 41 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report The aims and objectives of the Act include: (i) to ensure, in consultation with institutions of local self-government and Gram Sabhas established under the constitution of India, a humane, participative, informed and transparent process for land acquisition for industrialization, development of essential infrastructural facilities and urbanization with the least disturbance to the owners of the land and other affected families; (ii) provide just and fair compensation to the affected families whose land has been acquired or proposed to be acquired or are affected by such acquisition; (iii) make adequate provisions for such affected persons for their rehabilitation and resettlement; (iv) ensure that the cumulative outcome of compulsory acquisition should be that affected persons become partners in development leading to an improvement in their post- acquisition social and economic status and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. Section 27 of the Act defines the method by which market value of the land shall be computed under the proposed law. Schedule I outlines the proposed minimum compensation based on a multiple of market value. Schedule II through VI outline the resettlement and rehabilitation entitlements to land owners and livelihood losers, which shall be in addition to the minimum compensation per Schedule I. The Chapter II and III of the RFCT in LARR Act - 2013 regarding determination of social impact assessment and public purpose and special provision to safeguard food security shall not apply to the project such as (a) vital to national security or defense of India and every part thereof, including preparation for defense or defense production; (b) rural infrastructure including electrification; (c) affordable housing and housing for the poor people; (d) industrial corridors ; and (e) infrastructure and social infrastructure projects including projects under public private partnership where the ownership of land continues to vest with the Government. (i) The five year period set by the principal Act in Section 24 under sub-section (2), for lapse of 1894 Act shall exclude the cases where acquisition process is held up on account of any stay or injunction issued by any court or the period specified in the award of a Tribunal for taking possession. (ii) The five year period set by the principal Act for any land acquired and unused is now will be a period specified for the setting up of any project or five years, whichever is later. 7.3.1 R&R Principles for the Project Based on the above analysis of government provisions, the following resettlement principles are adopted for this Project: (i) Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. Measures to avoid and minimize involuntary resettlement impacts include the following: (i) explore alternative alignments or locations which are less impacting, (ii) ensure the appropriate technology is used to reduce land requirements, (iii) modify the designs, cross sections, and geometrics of components to minimize the ROW and ensure involuntary resettlement is avoided or minimized. (ii) Carry out meaningful consultations with stakeholders, Project Affected Persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular 42 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and indigenous peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the concerns of displaced persons. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. (iii) Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through; (i) land- based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement cost for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. (iv) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. (v) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing. (vi) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status. (vii) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for all compensation, relocation and rehabilitation measures, except land. (viii)Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on the entitlements of displaced persons, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. This resettlement plan will be approved by World Bank prior to contract award. (ix) Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to displaced persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to displaced persons and other stakeholders. (x) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and 43 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation. (xi) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. (xii) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standard of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports. 7.4 Procedure for Land Acquisition under the Project The land acquisition in this project context will be as per the National Highway Act, 1956 and later amendments or as per MoRT&H circular date 28th December,2017.

For all projects that affect Indigenous Peoples the borrower is required to engage in a process of free, prior, and informed consultation, resulting in broad community support to the project by the affected Indigenous Peoples. This policy include measures to (a) avoid potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous Peoples’ communities; or (b) when avoidance is not feasible, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects, to ensure that the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and gender and intergenerationally inclusive. b) Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) Involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated, often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental risks: production systems are dismantled; people face impoverishment when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people are relocated to environments where their productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for resources greater; community institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and the potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishment risks.

STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE 9.1 Introduction Stakeholder’s consultations are essential for the planning and designing of highway projects and the practice of involving the communities in the planning process has been recognized as an effective tool for mitigating the negative impacts due to the project and ensuring timely completion of the projects. In context of the highway projects, which are primarily linear in nature, the issue of involving people in the planning and designing process is significant, as the nature and extent of impact on the social, economic and cultural fabric of the society spread across a larger and a highly varied group of the society. The project will therefore ensure that the affected population and other stakeholders are informed, consulted, and allowed to participate actively in the development process. Stakeholder’s consultation will be done throughout the project cycle, both i.e. during preparation, implementation, and monitoring of project results and impacts stages. RAP document will be prepared and disclosed in English and other local languages, as required, describing the main project features, project interventions, including the entitlements for the affected families, implementation schedule etc, to project affected persons and other key stakeholders in appropriate ways and shall be separately disclosed at the concerned Panchayat Offices/ Urban Local Bodies, District Collector Offices, Block development Offices, District Public Relations Offices (at the state and district levels), Project office, and any other relevant offices, etc. 9.2 Methodology for Public Consultation Consultations and discussions were held along the project with the affected families and other stakeholders. Different techniques of consultation with stakeholders were used during project preparation, viz., in-depth interviews, public meetings, group discussions etc. To understand the socio-economic profile of the society, questionnaires were designed and information was collected from the individuals on one-to- one basis. The consultations have also been carried out with special emphasis on the tribal community and various other vulnerable groups. Some of the key informants included are: • People in the influence zone likely to be affected, local residents, agricultural communities, shopkeepers, Tribal and vulnerable groups • Panchayat members, Sarpanch and ward members • Local voluntary organizations and NGOs • Government agencies and departments like ITDA, CALA, Agricultural department, PIU, PMU • Other project stakeholders with special focus on women and PAPs belonging to the vulnerable group. Project Affected people were consulted through census & socio-economic survey carried out in the month of Feb-March 2018, followed by various focused group discussions (FGD), individual meetings/ consultations to get wider public input from both the primary and secondary stakeholders. The consultation methods followed to elicit required information (their views & opinions) are given below in table 9-1. 65 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Table 9-1: Type of Consultation with different Groups Level Type Participants Individual Local level Consultation Residents along the project corridor Individual Door to Door ‘Transact Walk’ in the project area - PAPs/ PAHs Community/ Social Groups Focus Group Discussion (FGD’s) PAPs, Shopkeepers, Village / Gram Sabha’s Heads, Panchayat members & Tribal associations, vulnerable groups, Hoteliers Institutional Stakeholder Discussion Line Departments, NGO 9.3 Stakeholders Consultations The Stakeholder consultation will assist Project Management Unit with managing and facilitating future engagement through the various stages of the Project. This is an initial guide to engagement and will need to be revised following Project approval to inform on-going stakeholder engagement through the various stages of Project development, construction, operation and closure/rehabilitation. It shall provide a platform to participants to express their views, concerns and apprehensions that might affect them positively or negatively. Engagement of stakeholders in the project started since the inception period from the time of social surveys during the month of Feb - March 2018. All the survey’s and consultation meetings organized with free and prior information to the likely PAP’s and participants. The notices regarding the consultation were placed at the conspicuous places and distributed to the Gram Panchayat heads and other local representatives and leader. 9.4 Public Consultation The Village level consultations were held in Gantyada, S.Kota, Bowdara, Tatipudi Gram Panchayat, where impacts were significant, and PAP’s from all villages along the subproject road were intimated about the proposed consultation meetings. All relevant aspects of subproject design, details of land required and impact to private property were discussed with the affected communities. As a part of the public empowerment through public consultations the stakeholders have expressed their views on the impact of the project, and the anticipated adverse impacts. 9.5 Key Findings of Consultations The consultations have helped in not only achieving the social assessment objectives, but also assisted in gathering suggestions for mitigation of adverse impacts, improvement in designs and facilitating inputs for the resettlement plan preparation and implementation. The broad findings are as follows 1) The people wanted to know what the compensation and assistance package was for the project. The resettlement principles and policies under consideration in the APNH were explained. 2) People are apprehensive about the timely payment of assistance and compensation. In all the meetings they have asked to pay compensation on time. 66 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 3) Some of the likely affected persons have requested the project not to affect their livelihood – as they will be left with no alternatives. This is especially in the case of those losing their land and commercial shops. In some cases families will be losing their total agricultural land and will not have any other source of livelihood. 4) There was unanimous opinion that geometric improvement through curve straightening is leading to a large number of structures being affected. In all the meeting the people asked the project to widen the road limiting to the available land on RoW. 5) Where houses/structures were getting affected, people asked for replacement cost of the structure. 6) The people wanted village specific issues to be considered in the designs. 7) People wanted the project to built realignments and bypasses where ever it was passing through congested villages. However there was no clear consensus from the people who would be losing their land for the bypass/realignment. 8) Safety was another common issue raised. The people wanted to know what safety measures will be adopted by the project in villages and built up area. The people are apprehensive that an improved road will lead to vehicles moving at greater speeds, leading to accidents in the village. 9) They have informed about the traffic congestions on the existing road and requested to solve. 10) People wanted to know how the project will replace affected community structures. In most cases the people were willing to identify available government land for the same. People were largely concerned about replacement of drinking water source. In some places temples are seen as important part of their social fabric, and people have requested to retain them as far as possible. 11) Major issue facing all women was lack of toilet facilities along the corridor. All the women group meetings have revealed that the panchyat would maintain the toilets, once built. 12) Discussions were also initiated on possible market sites which could help relocate those losing shops and commercial establishments. 13) Responses from the public were in general positive. 14) They have responded that widening is not required as the existing road fulfill the present requirement. 15) Requests have been made to explore the possibilities of convergence of other development programmes by government agencies. 9.6 OUTCOME OF THE CONSULTATIONS People were aware about the proposed subproject and the two lanes/ two lanes with paved shoulders of the road but were not aware about specific details of the Prow, shift in centre-line and the method of valuation for structures and building, payment of compensation and other rehabilitation and resettlement measures.

Based on skill requirement/improvement at all levels for proper implementation of RPF, a training programme focusing project implementing partners at Centre, State and field PIUs has been developed which will be implemented by the Project Authority (MoRT&H) in the next two years. These training programs, which will be zeroed down after a quick training needs assessment, are to be conducted with the help of local and national training institutions and experts in various aspects of social management. MoRT&H will also identify courses offered by the premier institutions in India and abroad on social management and inter-phase these with identified programme. There is a provision for separate budget for this activity. The budget reported under “institutional� head includes the cost estimates of training programs discussed above. 85 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 12.GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) mandates formation of Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) in order to resolve disputes in an effective manner and at the door steps of the PAPs. Compensation and assistance as per eligibility is provided in the entitlement matrix of the approved RPF. The Grievances will be redressed at the PIU level, if not can be referred to the court by the aggrieved. The first contact person at PIU to review and redress the grievance is the RRO. If not resolved, the aggrieved can reach to the Grievance Redress Committee formed at the PIU level. The decision of the GRC will be binding, unless vacated by court of law. 12.1 Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) The GRC at PIU level will be constituted by the Project Authority with the aim to settle as many disputes as possible on Land Acquisition (LA) and R&R through consultations and negotiation. There will be one GRC for each PIU. The GRC will comprise six members headed by a retired Revenue officer /Social Welfare officer not below Group I officer rank). Other members of the GRC will include the concerned Project Director-cum-Executive, a retired PWD Officer (not below the rank of Executive Engineer), RRO, representative of PAPs and Sarpanch (Elected Head of Village) of the concerned village. 45. Grievances of PAPs in writing will be brought to GRC for redressal by the RAP implementation agency The RAP implementation agency will provide all necessary help to PAPs in presenting his/her case before the GRC. The GRC will respond to the grievance within 15 days. The GRC will normally meet once in a month but may meet more frequently, if the situation so demands. A time period of 45 days will be available for redressing the grievance of PAPs. The decision of the Grievance Committees will not be binding on the DPs and they will have the option of taking recourse to court of law, if s/he so desires at his or her own expense.Broad functions of GRC are as under: ▪ Record the grievances of PAPs, categorize and prioritize them and provide solution to their grievances related to resettlement and rehabilitation assistance. ▪ The GRC may undertake site visit, ask for relevant information from Project Authority and other government and non-government agencies, etc in order to resolve the grievances of PAPs. ▪ Fix a time frame within the stipulated time period of 45 days for resolving the grievance. ▪ Inform PAPs through implementation agency about the status of their case and their decision to PAPs and Project Authority for compliance. The GRC will be constituted within 3 months by an executive order from competent authority (centre/ state) from the date of mobilization of RAP implementation agency. The RRO will persuade the matter with assistance from implementation agency in identifying the suitable persons from the nearby area for the constitution of GRC. Secretarial assistance will be provided by the PIU as and when required. The flow diagram (Figure.7) shows the entire process of grievance redressal. 86 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Figure 6: Grievance Redressal Mechanism Grievance Redressal Mechanism BROAD F U N C T I O N S RECORD , CATEGORIZE UNDERTAKE FIELD FIX A TIMEFRAME TO CONVEY DECISION OF AND PRIORITISE VISITS , ASK FOR RESOLVE THE GRC TO PAPS IN GRIEVANCES RELEVANT PAPERS , GRIEVANCE WITHIN WRITING ETC AS REQUIRED STIPULATED TIME PERIOD P R O C E S S PIU CO - ORDINA TES WITH D ECISIONS OF GRC MEETING IS GRC & PAPS D RAFTED GRC MINUTES P REPARED AND NGO INITIATES NECESSARY S IGNED BY MEMBERS PREPARATION TO ASSIS T PAPS GRC D ECISIONS C ONVEYED TO PAP S IN WRITING RRO C HECK G RIEVANCE & C ATEGORIZE AND INFORM NGO GRC DECISION SENT TO AND FOR CASES TO BE PA/EA FOR INFORMATION & REFERRED TO GRC COMPLIANCE PAP S L ODGE GRIEVANCE TO BACK TO RRO FOR PIU DIRECTLY OR TO R&R IMPLEMENTATION O PTIONS TO MOVE C OURT OFFICER IN WRITING W ITH A COPY TO NGO PAP S GRIEVANCE MET POTENTIAL G RIEVANCES OF NGO TO INITIATE ACTI ON PAP S PAPs will be fully made aware about the GRM for effective, inexpensive and amicable settlement of claims for compensation and assistance by holding meetings with PAPs, public meetings and distributing leaflets containing salient features and procedures of GRM. The RAP IA will assist the PAPs in getting their record of rights updated in case of disputes related to land. The RRO with support from RAP IA will make all possible efforts for amicable settlement. The RAP IA will document all cases brought to GRC and maintain the records of the proceedings of the grievance redressal committee meetings. 87 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 12.2 Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism (SCHM) The MoRT&H recognizes the importance of this and hence intends to establish a SCHM for the GNHCP. The communication channels to report project related complaints/concerns will be disclosed at all levels of institutions—MoRT&H, State and Sub-project levels. Through the Right to Information Act, 2005 an Act of the Parliament of India provides for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens. The Act applies to all States and Union Territories of India. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerize their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally. In other words under the act, citizens have right to seek information from concerned agencies by following the set procedures. However, it is quite likely that many people may not use the provisions of this Act, only in limited cases covering serious concerns. Being an inter-state project involving several states and large scale of civil works along with R&R and Environment issues, the project is likely to receive many suggestions, complaints, inquiries, etc through the project implementation period. Therefore, MoRT&H has agreed to establish SCHM as a good practice to address public concerns pertaining to various issues. SCHM will report all project related LA and R&R of the PAPs for redressal through the concerned PIU or GRC as appropriate. Several communication channels viz., toll free phone number, dedicated email, mechanism for on line submission of suggestions/complaints/inquiries, provision of suggestion/complaint box (at site and project office), post and other suitable means shall be set up for suggestion and complaint handling 88 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 13.IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE 13.1 Introduction Implementation of RAP mainly consists of compensation to be paid for private land, compensation for structures, assistance for loss of homestead resulting in physical displacement, loss of livelihood resulting in economic displacement, obtaining options and choices from the Displaced Families, development of resettlement sites, relocation to resettlement sites and additional assistance to vulnerable household. Public consultation, monitoring and grievance redressal will be an ongoing process throughout the RP implementation period but will happen intermittently. 13.2 Schedule for Project Implementation The proposed RP implementation activities are divided into three broad phases viz. project preparation phase, RP implementation phase, and monitoring and reporting phase, and the activities envisaged in each phase is discussed below. Project Preparation Phase: The activities to be performed in this phase include: (i) establishment of PIU with a designated officer (SS) in charge of safeguards; (ii) submission of RP to IFC/World Bank for approval (iii) appointment of NGO in PIU and (iv) establishment of GRC. The information dissemination and stakeholder consultations will commence in this stage and continue till the end of the project. RP & TDP Implementation Phase: In this phase, key activities will be carried out including: (i) joint verification (ii) valuation of structures (iii) preparation of micro plan (iv) R&R award enquiry (v) approval of final micro plan (vi) identification and development of resettlement site (vii) payment of compensation for land and structure (viii) payment of other rehabilitation assistances (ix) relocation of PDFs to resettlement site and (x) issuing site clearance certificate to enable commencement of civil works. Monitoring and Reporting Phase: Internal monitoring will commence as soon as RP implementation begins and continue till end of RP implementation. External monitoring will also commence from the beginning of RP implementation. 13.3 RAP Implementation Schedule An implementation schedule for land acquisition, payment of compensation and resettlement and rehabilitation activities in the project including various sub tasks and time line matching with civil work schedule is provided in the work plan. The following are the key implementation activities that are presented in the work plan. a. Updating of RP based on design changes, if any b. Approval of RP and Disclosure c. Appointment of NGOs, Nodal NGO and Package NGOs and External Monitoring consultants d. Constitution and notification of GRCs e. SIA Notification f. Verification of DPs and Notification of DP list g.

Certification of payment of R&R assistance for first milestone s. Certification of payment of LA and R&R assistance for second milestone t. Impact Evaluation Coordination during the Implementation Stages: The land acquisition and resettlement implementation will be co-coordinated with the timing of procurement and commencement of civil works. The required co-ordination has contractual implications, and will be linked to procurement and bidding schedules, award of contracts, and release of encumbrance free land to the contractors. The project will provide adequate notification, counseling and assistance to PDF’s so that they are able to move or give up their assets without undue hardship before commencement of civil works and after receiving the compensation and R&R assistances. The construction of resettlement sites should commence well in advance, as it would take about 12-months to complete the construction and relocation of the physically displaced. The land acquisition and corresponding payment of compensation and R&R assistance with encumbrance free certification will be available prior to award of contract. The relocation of common property resources will be linked to handing over of encumbrance free land to the contractors. 90 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report Table 13-1: Proposed Resettlement and Implementation Schedule 2018 2019 2020 2021 Particulars of activity Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Impact Assessment & SIA Notification Preparation of LAP & strip mapping Baseline survey of affected persons Draft NotifIcation of the 3(A) Land Acqusition Appointment of NGO & External Monitor Identification & Verification of PAPs by NGO Valuation of structure Preparation of Micro Plans for Rehabilitation & Resettlement by the NGO Disclosure of Micro Plans Issuance of ID Cards Update draft Resettlement Plan to reflect surveys, consultations, design changes, and due diligence results Consultations disclosure, & awareness generation Development of Resettlement Site R&R Award for Titleholders & Non- Titleholders Issue notice to affected persons Skill training as required for Tribals & Non-Tribals Disbursement of R&R assistance amounts Relocation of CPRs Certification of full payment and completion of all R&R activities Handover of land to contractors first & second milestone 91 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 14. MONITORING AND EVALUATION 14.1 Introduction Monitoring and evaluation are important activities of infrastructure development project particularly, those involving involuntary resettlement. It helps making suitable changes, if required during the course of implementation of RAP and also to resolve problems faced by the PAPs. Monitoring is periodical checking of planned activities and provides midway inputs, facilitates changes, if necessary and provides feedback to project authority for better management of the project activities. Evaluation on the other hand assesses the resettlement effectiveness, impact and sustainability of R&R activities. In other words, evaluation is an activity aimed at assessing whether the activities have actually achieved their intended goals and purposes. Thus monitoring and evaluation of resettlement action plan implementation are critical in order to measure the project performance and fulfillment of project objectives. The monitoring and evaluation of RAP implementation will ensure monitoring of key indicators on inputs, outputs, project processes and evaluation of impact indicators. The overall purpose of the monitoring is to keep track of the implementation processes and progress, achievement of performance targets fixed in the annual work plans, learning lessons and taking corrective actions to deal with emerging constraints and issues. Monitoring and evaluation will constitute the following: ▪ Implementation progress (physical and financial aspects), monitoring of inputs, and outputs; ▪ Process documentation (case studies and lessons learnt); ▪ Impact evaluation based on sample survey and consultations; and ▪ Thematic studies. 14.2 Institutional Arrangement for M & E The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) stipulates hiring services of an external agency (third party) for monitoring and evaluation of RAP implementation. This means the project authority through an external agency will carry out monitoring and evaluation from the subsequent month of the mobilization of RAP IA at project site. Internal monitoring will be carried out by the Social Officer of Project Coordination Unit (PCU) with assistance from R&R officer and RAP IA whereas external monitoring and evaluation will be carried by the third party engaged for the purpose. This will help monitor project activities closely. Regular monitoring by undertaking site visits and consultations with PAPs will help identify potential difficulties and problems faced in the implementation and accordingly help take timely corrective measures including deviations, if needed. Components of monitoring will include performance monitoring i.e., physical progress of the work and impact monitoring and external evaluation. Indicative indicators to be monitored related to performance are provided in the following sections. In case during the project implementation, if some other indicators are found relevant they will also be considered for monitoring. 92 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 14.3 Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) at Project and Sub-project Level The Resettlement Action Plan contains indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives under the resettlement programme. These indicators and benchmarks will be of three kinds: (1) Proposed indicators, indicating project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment, etc. (2) Output indicators, indicating results in terms of numbers of affected People compensated and resettled, training held, credit disbursed, etc, (3) Impact indicators, related to the longer-term effect of the project on People’s lives. The benchmarks and indicators will be limited in number, and combine quantitative and qualitative types of data. Some of these indicators may include, percentage of PAPs actually paid compensation before any loss of assets; percentage of PAPs whose incomes after resettlement are better than, or at least same as before resettlement; percentage of assets valued at replacement cost compensation; percentage grievances resolved; and/or percentage of cases to court. The first two types of indicators, related to process and immediate outputs and results, will be monitored to inform project management about progress and results, and to adjust the work programme where necessary if delays or problems arise. The results of this monitoring will be summarized in reports which will be submitted to the World Bank on a regular basis. Provision will be made for participatory monitoring involving the project affected people and beneficiaries of the resettlement programme in assessing results and impacts. The Project Authority will engage services of an external agency (third party), which will undertake independent concurrent evaluations at least twice a year during the project implementation period. At the end of the project an impact evaluation will be carried out as part of the project completion report. Such independent evaluation will focus on assessing whether the overall objectives of the project are being met and will use the defined impact indicators as a basis for evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation will assess: (i) The level of success (including the constraints and barriers) in land acquisition programme, resettlement plan, and income recovery of the PAPs after they have been displaced from the project affected area, and, (ii) the types of complaints/ grievances and the success of the handling of grievance and public complaints towards the construction of project’s infra -structures, means of redress for assets and lands and the amount of compensation, resettlement, and other forms of complaints. Summarizing, M&E would be carried out for regular assessment of both process followed and progress of the RAP implementation. The internal monitoring will be carried out by the State PCU by the Land Acquisition cum Social Development Officer with assistance from RAP Implementation Support Agency and a quarterly report will be submitted to MoRTH. Each quarterly report would also be uploaded on the MoRTH website. The external agency (third party) however, would conduct assessment six monthly for each sub-project by undertaking field visits and all other necessary activities including consultations. The six monthly reports would cover detailed information on process and progress of RAP implementation. The report would highlight issues, if any that need attention of the Project Authority and suggest corrective measures that may be followed for better implementation of RAP. 93 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 14.4 Process & Performance Monitoring Process monitoring would enable the project authority to assess whether the due process are being followed or not, whereas performance monitoring would mainly relate to achievement in measurable terms against the set targets. Monitoring report will also provide necessary guidance and inputs for any changes, if required during the course of the implementation. A list of indicators is given in Table 14.1. Table 14-1: Performance Monitoring for RAP Implementation Sr. Indicators Target Status Achievement Remarks No. (in %) 1 Land acquisition (Private) Notification published u/s 3D Award declared u/s ……. for Land area (ha) Land owners (No.) Compensation disbursed by Competent Authority to land owners (No.) Govt. land transfer (ha) 2 Verification of identified PAPs completed (No.) 3 New PAPs added, if any (who could not be enumerated at the time of survey) 4 Consultations held with regard to RAP (dissemination of information, awareness generation, entitlements, HIV/ AIDS, SCHM, etc) – No. 5 Leaflets, containing salient features of RAP, hand bills, fliers and other awareness materials distributed (No.) 6 Measurement of structures likely to be affected completed (No.) 7 Date of formation of DLC 8 Meetings held by DLC for fixing the replacement cost (No.) 9 Valuation of affected properties completed (No.) 10 Micro plan submitted for THs for approval (No.) 11 Identity cum entitlement card issued to PAPs (No.) 12 Consultations held with local community regarding relocation or rehabilitation of CPRs (No.) 13 Estimate submitted for relocation/ rehabilitation of CPRs for approval 14 Agency to carryout relocation/ rehabilitation of CPRs as agreed by the project authority 15 R&R assistances disbursed to PAPs (THs – No. 16 PAPs re-established their shops/ business (No.) 17 PAPs covered under income generation schemes (No.) 18 PAPs provided training for alternate livelihood (No.) 19 CPRs relocated/ rehabilitated (No.) 20 Grievance/ complaints brought to GRC for redressal (No.) 21 GRC meeting held and cases resolved (No.) 22 Various channels of SCHM used by category (No.) 94 | P a g e Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Bowdara – Vizianagaram – Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report 23 Consultation meetings held by LA cum SDO of Project Coordination Unit (PCU) (No.) 14.5 Evaluation The external agency engaged by the Project Authority shall carry out the evaluation at two stages viz., mid-term and after the completion of RAP implementation. The evaluation will be carried out under a set term of reference. The evaluation study would involve both quantitative and qualitative surveys and compare results before and after the implementation of the project. It will focus on assessing whether the overall objectives of the project are being met and will use the defined impact indicators as a basis for evaluation. The evaluation study would undertake the following but not limited to: ▪ Review monthly progress report submitted by RAP Implementation Agency (RAP IA); ▪ Undertake consultations with PAPs in order to assess their point of view with regard to overall process; ▪ Intensity and effectiveness of information dissemination with regard to RAP implementation covering eligibility of different categories of PAPs, frequency of interactions by RAP IA personnel with PAPs, deployment of RAP IA staff, quality of rapport maintained by RAP IA personnel with PAPs, capability of RAP IA personnel, behavior of RAP IA staff, availability of RAP IA staff, level of satisfaction as regards the work of RAP IA, etc; ▪ Collect information about distribution of awareness generation materials, entitlements, distribution of identity cum entitlement card, adequacy of dissemination of information, consultations meetings with regard to policy and eligibility for entitlement, alternatives and relocation related issues, measurement and valuation of affected properties, understanding and use of grievance procedure, disbursement of assistance, and other R&R related issues, compliance of resettlement policy, etc; ▪ Conduct sample survey (25% of PAPs) for making comparative analysis substantiated by qualitative surveys and case studies, etc. It may be noted that one of the key objectives of the project is improvement or at least restoration of economic status of the PAPs to the pre project level. An illustrative list of indicators is given in Table 13.2, which would be measured against the baseline data collected for the preparation of RAP. The M&E agency would finally select the indicators for the evaluation of the project depending upon the progress of R&R activities.
