The specific objectives of this RAP are to: * Identify the PAPs by the type of loss and extent of damage * Categorise entitled persons (EPs) according to the eligibility criteria of the R&R policy of UP SRP. * Work out entitlements for each EP based on the criteria as laid down in the R&R policy of the project * Ensure that all PAPs are aware of their entitlements under the policy and participate actively in the project. * Identify land for resettlement and the preferences of the PAPs for their relocation * Develop institutional support for implementation of the R&R process. * Evolve a suitable mechanism for monitoring and evaluation of the R&R process and indicate the parameters for monitoring * Phase the implementation of RAP through NGO, which is described in the subsequent sections. The RAP components are: * Introduction and methodology * Poverty Alleviation * Legal Framework and Resettlement Policy * Census Results * Publit Consultations * Land Acquisition * Resettlement Sites * Income Restoration * Institutional Arrangements * Grievance Redress Mechanism * Monitoring and Evaluation * Implementation Schedule * Estimated Budget for implementation * Cultural Properties * Highway Related Diseases While the policy document describes what need to be done, why and how, the action plan describes in more detail how, when by whom the activities will be carried out. METHODOLOGY The document has been prepared based on information collected during March 2001 to February 2002 on 7 nos. routes of 590 kilometers of priority roads, 5 nos. of phase I intersections, two bypasses for phase I and two bypasses of phase II. The survey methodology used were: * Census verification and socio-economic survey using pre-tested structured questionnaire * Group Discussion with potentially affected population at village level * Information dissemination at district level * Stakeholder workshop at state level * Videography and still photography of entire Phase II roads * Group Discussion with Truckers and concerned officials for Highway related diseases.

EXPECTED PROJECr BENEFITS Poverty alleviation is one of the objectives of World Bank aided projects. On the similar lines, Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project on its implementation is expected to bring in rural prosperity in the area. The following benefits are expected from the project: > As a result of the improved road system, industrialisation and other economic activities will be able to spread more evenly throughout the state and more entrepreneurs may prefer to establish their business or production in areas with lower prices of land and with access to an available workforce. This in turn will bring in prosperity to rural areas. >' Development will emerge along the roads in terms of vehicle repair workshops, restaurants, hotels, etc. These businesses are known to give spin off in terms of petty trade gradually developing into larger businesses. The project through R&R Coordinator at head office and his divisional level counterparts will establish contacts with government departments in charge with planning and development activities where safe drinking water and sanitation will be provided as a collective benefit to the population. Selected ponds and temples along the roads will be enhanced in consultation with the local population. Provision for the same has already been made in the RAP and EMP budget. The funds in required instalments will be provided to the concerned departments. A responsible official of the department in close coordination with R&R Coordinator of PWD will carry out the implementation > The improved roads would reduce Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC), as the vehicles will be able to travel at a faster speed, which in turn would reduce time, transport cost and the wear and tear of the vehicles. Timely and effective delivery of both goods and passengers will increase effectiveness of agriculture, trade, etc. >I ncrease in employment opportunities (direct and indirect, permanent and temporary, as well as for short and long term), access to various amenities, increase in business opportunities, improved traffic safety, increase in availability of passenger transport services are some of the other expected benefits. NEGATIVE IMPACTS Certain negative social impacts are inherent with any developmental project. Therefore, under UPSRP as well some of the negative social impacts were unavoidable, though such impacts have been minimized because of close co-ordination between social, environment and engineering aspect of the project. The negative impacts are as follows: Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow. India (2) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plon (Phase 11) DHV in ossociation with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 * Loss of private immovable properties in part or full (including agriculture land, residences, homestead, shops, trees, wells, etc) * Loss of source of income * Loss of civic amenities LAND REQUIREMENT AND ACQUISITION PROCESS The upgradation and widening of 1000 km of state highways under UP-SRP is expected to have both positive and negative impacts on the environment and on the people of the project area. Despite all the efforts taken for modifying the design of the project roads, a section of the communities along the corridor are going to be negatively impacted, mainly due to clearing of encroachment and squatters from the public ROW and proposed bypasses on two routes. Negative impacts also include loss of economic opportunities/livelihood, sources of earning, etc. Moreover, a significant number of community/cultural properties are also going to be negatively impacted A total of 201.93 hectare of land will be acquired, out of which 74.36 hectares of land will be required for bypasses, nearly 54 hectares for improvement of roads and another 58.5 hectares for approaches of new bridges. The proposed bypasses viz., Bangarmau Bypass in route 4, Budhanpur and Ahiraula on route 10A and Gaura Badshahpur Bypass in route 18.

PROJECr AFFECrED PERSONS (PAPS) The overall affect of the proposed road upgrading has been on agriculture land primarily because of proposed bypasses, although land will be acquired along the routes also apart from bypasses. A total of 9470 families will be affected, which in turn will affect 33010 persons. Over half of the affected population is male. Majority of the PAPs are OBC. Though a small percentage of scheduled castes were found, presence of tribes is negligible on the project routes. Tribal and Other Vulnerable Groups Development Plan (IPDP) for the 8 widely scattered schedule tribe families is included in chapter 11 of RAP document. Special provisions for vulnerable groups have been made in the R&R Policy of the project. Section 4 of the policy gives detailed definition of vulnerable families and paragraph 8 of section 8 provides the detail of resettlement and rehabilitation assistance for vulnerable groups. Nearly one fourth of the PAPs are illiterate as against 43% of state average and 38% of national average. Over one fourth of the total PAPs are in the category of workers and over one fifth of the total PAPs reportedly are engaged in household chores and such PAPs are primarily women. Trade and Business (primarily petty shops) is the most common occupation found among the PAPs settled along the road. However, on routes 4A, 10A and 18, agriculture has also emerged as a most followed occupation primarily due to the proposed bypasses. These bypasses will be completely new aligmnents passing through villages situated away from the road, where like any other rural area agriculture remains the main occupation. The average annual household income varies from approximately Rs. 16,700 to Rs. 43,000.The average annual expenditure are little less than the income and this is one reason why PAPs have some kind of saving. Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow. India (4) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Poverty litne for thte purpose of the project has been considered at annual Income of Rs 24,000 per family. The survey result shows that percentage of BPL families varies from 5% to 45% in route 14. If all the four corridors are considered, little less than two fifth of the total families are below poverty line.

Such shrines and graveyards will be shifted in consultation with the people of the area. However, in Phase II, two arch gates and a mosque on route 4(B) will be affected. Gates are in very bad shape and needs strengthening. Provision will be made in the project to strengthen and beautify the gates. A comprehensive temple enhancement plan has been provided in the report. ENTITLEMENT FRAMEWORK The Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) policy prepared by Project Co-coordinating Consultants (PCC) for Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (UP PWD) and approved by Government of Uttar Pradesh is based on World Bank's Operational Directives (OD) 4.30 and 4.20 for resettlement of involuntarily displaced persons and indigenous people. The action plan has been prepared based on the broad outlines laid down in the policy. The principle of the R&R policy is the guiding philosophy Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India (5) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 to provide a development approach to resettle and rehabilitate the people affected by project. in particular: > Wherever possible, displacement will be reduced on or avoided altogether by sensitive design of civil works (e.g. alternative designs or modification to the design). > Where displacement is unavoidable, those displaced will have their living standard improved. They will be located as a single unit among the peer groups or will be assisted to integrate into their new community. Particular attention will be paid to the needs of the most vulnerable groups to be resettled. > PAPs will be compensated, at replacement cost, for assets lost. > Adequate social and physical infrastructure will be provided. > PAPs and lost community would be encouraged to participate in the design and the implementation of RAP. ENTITLEMENT CATEGORIES Three primary categories have been identified for entitlement of compensation and assistance under R&R package of Government of Uttar Pradesh, viz. * Project Affected Families (PAFs) * Project Affected individual Adults (PAAs) * Project Affected Groups (PAGs) Project Affected Families * The families getting affected due to the project are entitled for compensation for the loss of land, structure and other such immovable assets including crops. They will have the right to salvage building materials and counselling on alternative site. The compensation will be given to the owner of the property. The PAF is eligible for following entitlement: * Consultation, counselling regarding alternatives, and assistance in identifying new sites and opportunities. PAFs apart from counselling on various entitlement packages will also receive help in identifying suitable relocation site, identification of alternative economic rehabilitation schemes and training for skill upgradation. > Compensation for land at replacement cost, allowances for fees or other charges. > Advance notice to harvest non-perennial crops or compensation for lost standing crops. In case due to shortage of time, advance notice could not be served compensation will be paid. The compensation will be twice the amount of market price of the crop lost. > Compensation for perennial crops and trees will be calculated as annual produce value times remaining produce years > Replacement or compensation for structures or other non-land assets. > Right to salvage materials from existing demolished structures. > PAFs belonging to the vulnerable groups are eligible for existing government-housing schemes for the weaker section of the society. The vulnerable groups may be defined as Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, women headed households, land-less and below poverty line families (annual income below Rs 24,000). > Shifting Assistance to move their belongings to the new relocation site. > Option of moving to resettlement sites or clusters; incorporating needs for shelter and livelihood. Government of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India (6) Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV in association vith Operations Research Group August 2003 Project Affected Persons All majors in a household (i.e. above the age of 18 years) are eligible for assistance for loss of livelihoods. Thus, there may be more than one person eligible in each household. The project will provide rehabilitation and assistance for loss of livelihood for any individual impacted by the. project. Additional support mechanisms will be made available to re-establish or enhance their livelihood through existing govemment poverty alleviation programmes. If available, employment associated with the project would be provided. The entitlement package includes: > Rehabilitation and Assistance for lost or diminished livelihood. All PAPs eligible under this package will be provided help to improve or at least regain the former income level. Special attention will be paid to the vulnerable groups. > Additional support mechanisms for vulnerable groups in re-establishing or enhancing livelihood. Vulnerable group will receive counselling on alternatives, guidance on appropriate training programmes and advice on marketing new products. > Employment opportunities connected with the project to the extent possible. It is expected that number of job opportunities will be created by the project. In such opportunities, preference will be given to the PAPs. These job opportunities will be over and above the assistance provided to restore their lost income level. These opportunities are not necessarily limited to the vulnerable group, but to every PAP. The majority of the jobs created will be in unskilled and semi-skilled nature therefore can always be given to the PAPs. Project Affected Group The project-affected groups are entitled for following compensation/assistance: > Restoration and improvement of common property resource > Social forestry programmes envisaged under the project and relocation of drinking water sources shall be done taking women need in consideration. > Provision of safe space and access for business purposes, local transport and public use. > Safety measures for pedestrians, particularly children and other non-motorised transport. > Landscaping of community common areas in urban environment. > Provision of medical aid in case of accident on the highway Entitlement Matrix The summary entitlement matrix is produced below which shows the eligible PAP and associated entitlement/support. Specific elements of the entitlements provided in the package of compensation and assistance that will be delivered by the project RAP are detailed in Chapter 3. Any impact not falling within any of the categories mentioned will be addressed within the general spirit of the entitlement framework. Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project.

PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS Public participation was undertaken to make explicit the social factors that will affect the development impacts of planned highway improvements and mediate project results. Through public participation, stakeholders and key social issues were identified and strategy was formulated. It included socio- cultural analysis and design of social strategy, institutional. analysis and specifically addressed the issue of how poor and vulnerable groups may benefit from the project. Consultations were held at local (community) level, district level and state level. Apart from this, separate survey was carried out among truckers to identify prevalence HIV/AIDS among them and presence of commercial sex workers on the project routes. The main objectives of the consultation program were to minimize negative impact in the project corridors and to make people aware of the road rehabilitation project. During the process efforts were made to ascertain the views and preferences of the people. Govemment of Uttor Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow, India (8) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 The aims of community consultation were: > To understand views of the people affected w.r.t to the impacts of the road > To identify and assess all major economic and sociological characteristics of the village to enable effective planning and implementation and, > To resolve the issues relating to affect on community property The district level consultations were intended to prepare for district committees that will be established to support RAP implementation, Participants in District level consultations included District Magistrate, representatives of district level officials of line departments, NGOs, and representative of Zilla Parishad, apart from Project Director and PCC consultants. Notice was published in local newspapers couple of days before the consultation was held, for general public to participate. In addition to the press release, invitation cards to the concerned officials and public representatives were also sent to attend the district level consultations and state level workshop. The purpose of the State Level workshop was to promote public awareness and understanding of proposed project actions, information dissemination of entitlement framework and to notify stakeholders and others of opportunities to participate in consultations and the assessment process. EFFORTS FOR MINIMISING RESETTLEMENT Road design has been based on co-ordination between the design and the R&R team. Numerous discussions were held between Social and Highway design team to avoid or minimise the negative impacts and specially the displacement wherever possible. In the design phase, mitigation measures incorporated include: > Bypasses at dense urban areas viz., Gaura Badshahpur on route 18 and Bangarmau on route 4 and Budhanpur and Ahiraula on route 10 A.. In order to avoid land acquisition on route 18, majority section o f the bypass has been aligned with the existing canal system. Social team has finalised alignment of the bypasses in such a way that agriculture fields are not bifurcated from the middle and making it agriculturally and economically unviable. Care has been taken to ensure that only a side strip of the agriculture land is acquired. > Concentric widening. > Keeping the carriageway width to the minimum (i.e., within the available clear space) in order to avoid displacement. > No new realignment has been proposed which entails land acquisition, thus minimising negative social impact. > Reducing design speed in built up areas - The project roads have been designed for highway speeds of 80-100 km. per hour. However in all urban/ settlement areas; instead of widening the existing road, the design speed has been reduced to 40-50 km. per hour, thus reducing the required radii and eventual curve widening. > Reducing impacts on existing shrines and religious structures - In many cases the design cross section has been reduced or redesigned to protect shrines. THE PURPOSE AND NATURE OF THE RESETTLEMENT ACTIVMES The basic outputs expected from the R&R activities are that the PAPs will be better off or equal to the pre-project situation in terms of: * Land * Housing * Business opportunities * Access to amenities Government ot Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India (ix) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 * Access to Common Property Resources (CPRs) * Access to other services The resettlement activities comprise: Key R&R Activities 1 l Assessment of the baseline situation before project through Census and socio- 'economic surveys and consultations 2 j Set-up Social Development and Resettlement Cell: | Appointment of NGOs for implementation , Establish Co-ordination and Grievance Redress committee 3 I * Involvement and participation of PAPs: jGroup discussion i * C.ore rapid appraisal '_ C ___ _ ___ __ __. __. __ ___ _ 4 * Collaboration with line departments for dove-tailing existing poverty alleviation __ schemes 5 l o Training of R&R implementing agencies and departments 6 .

Identification of relocation sites for residential displaced persons 16 i Identification of business sites 17 Infrastructure development at new resettlement sites 18 * Implementation of R&R package 19 l Monitoring and evaluation Critical Assumptions behind this R&R Policy are that: * There will be sufficient acceptance, will and motivation among the implementing agencies to handle legal and other constraints. * Government Poverty Alleviation Programmes for Vulnerable Sections in the society are ready to be mobilised * Competent NGO can be found to implement the action plan * Land for relocation will be identified and allocated before eviction of PAPs * Customer base for business owners will remain IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT Implementation plan has been spread over a period of three years phase II. A year wise activity chart has been provided in chapter 16 of the Resettlement Action Plan. However, a simplified summary of the operational aspects of the implementation plan will be prepared when the project starts. It will be given to PWD, who along with a route wise selected NGOs will have to put the plan into action. RAP has the provision for the following mechanism/committees for proper implementation of action plan: Government of Uttor Prodesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow, India (x) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV In associotion writh Operotions Research Group August 2003 _ > Grievance redress mechanism: The grievance redress mechanism is an important aspect of R&R. The LA Act provides adequate provision at different stages of the LA process for the PAPs to object to the proposed acquisition of land and other properties, compensation rates, etc. The LA Act allows the affected person to receive compensation under protest and then refer the case to the court for settlement. LA will be necessary not only in proposed bypasses but also for improvement of roads in phase II. Hence, grievances will be primarily related to LA and also for entitlement for resettlement of squatters and assistance for vulnerable encroachers and may lead to litigations. To avoid litigations, which may delay the project implementation, RAP has a provision for constituting Grievance Redress Committee at district level. The GRC will try to settle grievances at the project level itself. The members of the commnittee would be District Magistrate as head, representatives of local NGOs, representative of people (viz., Member of Parliament, Member of Legislative Assembly, etc), representatives of blocks, districts, line departments & affected persons. At central level, Project Director of Project Implementation Unit will head the committee. > Effective RAP implementation will require institutional relationships and responsibilities, rapid organisational development and collaborative efforts by PWD, State Government, partner NGO and affected population. Therefore, it is suggested that a Social and Resettlement Development Cell (SDRC) be formed. The SRDC should have representation of other line departments' viz., revenue, forest, public health, rural engineering, etc. The responsibility of co-ordination lies with R&R co-ordinator. The SRDC will establish operational links within PWD and with other agencies of government involved in project-induced resettlement. It will bridge the distance between the project and project affected persons and communities. It will provide the means and mechanisms for co-ordinating the delivery of the compensation and assistance entitled to those who will suffer loss. SRDC will link the project with state government agencies, provide liaison with PWD field units and impacted communities, establish district level committees to co-ordinate social development and resettlement operations in the field and also to assist NGO partners It will also engage required training services, oversee a grievance redress process and actively monitor RAP implementation. Need for NGO/CBO The relocation disturbs the present activities of PAPs and therefore there is a need to establish and stabilise their economic living. While all tasks relating to Land Acquisition is taken care by the Land Acquisition Officer and his staff, the implementation of RAP is the responsibility of the SDRC under PWD. The NGO will help in implementing various components of the RAP, particularly the use of compensation and rehabilitation assistance for more productive purposes like purchase of land, self- employment, etc. Its involvement is all the more important since there are no social community organisations among the PAPs which otherwise could have taken lead in this regard. Being new to the area of working with PAPs, the selected NGO will have to work directly'under the SDRC Co-ordinator who will be defacto in charge for implementation of RAP. Thus implementation becomes joint responsibility of PWD and NGO. Role of NGO Resettlement relates to human aspects and economic rehabilitation requires human resources development consisting of education, training, awareness generation, etc. NGO will be involved to assist PWD in implementation of RAP. The NGO will help educating PAPs on the proper utilisation of compensation and rehabilitation grant and help them in getting financial assistance, if required, under various subsidy related development programmes. It will also organise training programmes to impart required skill for such PAPs who would prefer to go for self-employment schemes. Specifically, the tasks of the NGO will be to: > Develop rapport with PAPs and between PAPs and PWD > Assess the level of skills and efficiency in pursuing economic activities, identify needs for training and organise programmes either to improve the efficiency and/or to impart new skills.

Lucknow, India (11) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 > Assist PAP in receiving rehabilitation entitlement due to them > Motivate and guide PAP for proper utilisation of benefits under R&R policy provisions; > Facilitate purchase of agriculture land in negotiating price and settling at a reasonable price or expedite the same through Land Purchase Committee. > Assist PAPs in obtaining benefits from the appropriate development programmes. > Help PAPs in increasing their farm income through provision of irrigation facility or improving farm practices, and > Ensure marketing of produce particularly those under self-employment activities. > Complete the consultation at the community level and provide support by describing the entitlements to the EPs and assisting them in their choices > Accompany and represent the EPs at the Grievance Committee meeting. > Assist the EPs to take advantage of the existing government housing schemes and employment and training schemes that are selected for use during the project, and > Carry out other responsibilities as required and identified. In the context of implementing of RAP, it is important that NGO, which is genuine and committed to the task entrusted, is selected. An NGO with local presence is, however, more suitable hence would be preferred. The NGO may be contracted on specified terms and conditions with proper fixation of financial accountability. The payment to NGO will be linked to the performance of the task assigned and the time period. The payment will be arranged on quarterly basis to be released on certification of completing the previous task. The monitoring of R&R programme will also include the performance of NGO. The NGO services will be required for five years for which provisions have been provided in the plan. District Level Committees RAP will be implemented through District Level Committees that will be established in each district where the project is active. These committees will provide co-coordinating nodes for land acquisition and compensation, relocation and rehabilitation, distribution of project provided assistance and PAPs' access to most government programmes. SDRC will service district committees with field staff allocated to multi-district construction contracts. The committee would include; District Magistrate, Tahsildar of concerned tahsil, Pradhans of Panchayat Samitis, Block Development Officers, Sarpanchs of affected villages, representative of revenue departments' land acquisition wing, line departments, PWD, R&R co-ordinator, people's representatives, NGO and representatives of affected population. Training and Capacity Building Establishing sufficient implementation capacity to launch and carry out those components of project resettlement that must be completed before civil works. To enhance capabilities, SDRC staff can be sent on exposure visits to other projects with good resettlement programmes as well as sponsored for training courses in Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R). The Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) in Hyderabad conducts a two weeks course in R&R. The training would also cover techniques in conducting participatory rural appraisal for micro planning, conducting census and socio-economic surveys, dissemination of information, community consultation and progress monitoring and evaluation. One week training through specialist of the field will be arranged at PWD level both for SDRC staff and NGO staff engaged for the job. Government of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India (12) Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCCI Services for Uttor Prodesh State Roods Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV in association with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 INCOME RESTORATION Basic information on IR activities of PAPs will be available from the census and socio-economic surveys. Information from base line surveys will be available on features of economic activities of PAPs under two categories, viz., * Land based economic activities * Non-land economic activities * Total income of PAPs from various sources Project induced displacement may lead to loss or diminished income for Project Affected Person (PAPs). The main categories of impacts are as follows: * Loss of agriculture land in part or full * Loss of commercial establishments (permanent) * Loss of temporary commercial structure or mobile vendor (Squatters) * Loss of livelihood (Commercial tenants or helping hands, agriculture labours) Projects like road development involve acquiring linear strips of land; as such the impacts are not expected to be significant. However, mitigation measures need to be planned and implemented however insignificant the impacts may be. The entitlement framework has the following provisions for restoration of income: > If a person is losing source of income (wage earning- indirectly affected due to the employer being displaced), the individual is entitled for grant equivalent to minimum wages calculated for 6 months. > Those losing commercial establishment and other income generating assets (other than agriculture land) are entitled for transitional allowance calculated at minimum wages (Rs 2000/- per month) for nine months. Such PAPs are also entitled for rental allowance of Rs 500 per month for a maximum period of 6 months apart from a lump sum Rs 1000/- towards shifting allowance. Vulnerable PAPs will get commercial plots (maximum up to the limit of 25 sq. m) free of cost. > Those losing income opportunity are eligible for grant calculated at minimum wages (Rs 2000/- per month) for a maximum period of six months. They are also entitled for training for skill upgradation. > Squatters are eligible for transitional allowance at minimum wages for 9 months, shifting allowance of Rs 1000/-, rental.allowance of Rs 500/- per month for six months and training for skill upgradation. > Encroachers are eligible for transitional allowance calculated at minimum wages for 6 months and training for skill upgradation. However, vulnerable encroachers are eligible for compensation of structure at replacement cost. > Vulnerable PDPs are eligible for economic rehabilitation grant calculated at minimum one-year income level as determined by Planning Commission, Government of India. > If 50 vendors are displaced from one location, there is a provision of a "vendor market" rent-free for first six months, and thereafter they would be collectively encouraged to purchase their market site. HIGHWAY RELATED DISEASES Vehicles carrying people or goods over long distance are the frequent users of highways (both national and state). Various studies conducted on Trucker's behaviour shows that the drivers and helpers of such long distance vehicles like truck often spend many days at a stretch, outside their homes and away from their family members The factors of financial insecurity, tensions at work, being away from home for long duration give rise to irregular habits among the truck drivers and their assistants. Taking to alcohol and commercial sex is one the means of entertainment and releasing tension and as result they become prey to HIV positive and other sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow. India ( 13) Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Therefore, a survey was conducted among truckers and their assistants under UP-SRP study at different locations across all the five routes of Phase I. The survey result shows that, drivers and helpers or assistants take halts at different resting-places designated/naturally developed along the corridors to have sex, which are usually unsafe. Thus sexual diseases are often found to spread rapidly along the road and highway corridors On the other hand, tuberculosis (TB) and other like diseases are also found to spread through physical contacts along with STD and AIDS. Seeing the gravity of the spread of all these diseases proper measures are required to be taken to create awareness about their severity and to control such spread of diseases. Among such measures, the most important is awareness campaign among the truckers and CSWs through IEC. CONSTRUCrlON CAMPS For large-scale construction like that of highways, construction camps should be planned to house the construction workers. Apart from local labour force the project will require highly skilled labour, which may not be available locally. Therefore, it is expected that there will be in-migration of some labour force from outside. Hence, to meet their housing demand and other basic necessities, certain provisions have been made in the camps. The provisions enlisted would be of use to all the residents of the construction camp with a special emphasis on women and children. Issues discussed in the chapter are based on assumption that a substantial non-native labour force will come to work in the stretch where construction is in progress and move along as the work progresses. The site for construction camp should be at least 500 m down wind from habitations. The sites for construction camps will be finalised in consultation with the local population and will need approval of the PWD. This provision has been made in the EMP as mandatory requirement for the contractor. The chapter provides typical lay out construction camp and hot mix plant and normally applicable laws addressing social and environmental issues. The chapter further details out contract obligations and additional specifications under UP SRP for contractor. Need for detailing construction camp was all the more important as the impact of substantial migrant population in any area entails its own special concerns. This has a real potential to create strife in the host community as well as in the labour force itself. Therefore an attempt has been in this chapter to bring this issue into focus for implementation agencies as well as for the planners of future projects. BUDGETARY ESTIMATE FOR RAP IMPLEMENTATION The total estimated budget for phase II of R&R program is Rs. 794.27 million. The budget includes land acquisition cost, assistance to affected families, measures for HIV/ AIDS prevention, community infrastructure development, cost for RAP implementation, monitoring and evaluation of RAP implementation, training for eligible PAPs and PWD field staff.

The aim of the project is to improve the performance of the State's road transport by improving road conditions and capacity, along with the development of the in- house capabilities of the Public Works Department (PWD) to plan, develop and maintain the Uttar Pradesh roads network. PWD is the lead GOUP agency for the project and will implement the project over three years period. ., Strategic Options Study (SOS) has been carried out by local consultants in May 1996 for Public Works Department (PWD), which identified about 2724 km of State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDRs), where reduced carriage widtli and or pavement deterioration resulted in capacity constraints for the volume of traffic they carry. The project established priority ranking of 2500 km of roads at the feasibility stage for detailed engineering. The improvement works comprise mainly raising of formation level, widening to two lane and pavement strengthening. Provision of drains, footpaths and safety railings has been made on the road stretches crossing urban areas. The total formation width of the road would be 12m. The break up is follows: Carriagewa): ... ......... 7m Hard Shoulder: ............ 1.5m on each side Drains/Footpaths: .... ........ lm on each side (only in case of urban areas); or Soft Shoulders: .... ........ I in on each side. The project has been undertaken in two phases. Phase I provided the information and assessments of the proposed project, including feasibility studies. Screening of roads identified in the SOS, other state roads identified by PWD, economic analysis, preliminaiy designs, social and environment assessment of the subset of roads recommended for inclusion in project, final design of 374 km of-upgrading roads and approximatelyl 000 km of major maintenance roads, development of proposals for selected institutional measures to be undertaken under the project. Phase 11 includes the final designs of remaining 590 km of upgradation roads and 1735 km of major maintenance roads, environmental and social assessment, assistance with project implementation, coordination and strengthening of engineering skills. Table 1.1 below shows the list of selected roads and bypasses under Phase I and Phase ll. List of roads under major maintenance has been given in annex 1.1.

Sultanp2ur-Pratapgarh has been declared as National Highway in November 2000 and as such this road has been deleted from tle scope of this project. Thus under plhase I of tie Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project thiere are only four roads of total length of 374 km and 2 nos. of bypasses of total lengtli of 7.80 kin In phase nI there are seven roads of total length of 590 kml and two bypasses of 11.68 km. 3. Construction of bypasses, which include land acquisition, is part of phasc 11 of the project. Detailed socio-economic and environmental surveys of these bypasses were taken up in plhase II as preliminary drawings necessaryfor identification of tentative alignment were made available only in phase II phase of the project. Improvements proposed under the project are mostly along the existing roads and improvement works have been confined to the existing Rights-of-Way to the extent possible, though at certain stretches improvement has gone beyond the available ROW. However, additional land will be required for curve improvements, shifting of bridges and culverts and bypasses. In case of bypasses additional acquisition of private land will be necessary for Bangarmau bypass on route no 4, Budhanpur and Ahiraula on route 10A and Gaurabadshahpur bypass on route 18. Phase II also includes five major intersections with National Highway of phase I roads.

All links selected for inclusion in the project demonstrated high Internal Rates of Return in project feasibility studies. Although such benefits were not quantified, the project is also expected to help alleviate development constraints in agriculture, commerce, education, health, social welfare, and public safety and contribute to general expansion and diversification of development activities. The Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department over a 3-year period will implement the project. This document comprises the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of the Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project (UPSRP). The RAP meets all Government of India (GOI) and World Bank resettlement-related requirements and complies with applicable GOI and World Bank (OD 4.20 and 4.30/ OP/BP 4.12) regulations; policies, and procedures including those on public participation, environmental assessment and indigenous people. It confirms to provisions of Resettlemcnt and Reltabilitation Policyfor Persons Displaced or affected by World Bank Funded Road Projects in Uttar Pradesh. Government of Uttar Pradesh has approved the policy vide letter number 1769/23-12-2000-2NHO/99 dated December 13, 2000. Copy of the letter is enclosed as Annex 1.2 Uttar Pradesh PWD will implement this RAP with assistance from other government agencies, and non-governmental- and community-based organisations, and consultants. 1.2 Social Impact Assessment Social Impact Assessment of the project is an important component of project preparation. GOI and GOUP regulations and World Bank policy require social impact assessment during the,design stage to avoid, reduce or mitigate potential negative impacts of project action and enhance positive impacts, sustainability and development benefits.

The assessments also contribute to engineering design and result in the preparation of social action plans governing project implementation and the resettlement and rehabilitation of those who may be displaced by road improvements. The project's social impacts and resettlement component includes assessment of social impacts of the project and development of appropriate mitigation plans as required. These plans must comply with appropriate national and local laws and guidelines, and with World -Bank policy directives. Social assessment is carried out in close co-ordination with environmental assessment team and design team and includes consultation and participation among project stakeholders, local communities and potentially affected groups. The social impact assessment and resettlement planning component has following elements: * Social screening and impact assessment as part of project feasibility studies carried out during phase I; * Census and baseline socio-economic survey of the potentially affected population; * Preparation of a time-bound Resettlement Action Plan (RAP); * Consultations at village, district and state level; * Follow-up consultations (to be carried out after finalisation of drawings); and * .Videography and still photography of all the routes. Social screening was undertaken in conjunction with project feasibility studies (anuary to March 2000) and the selection of roads to be included in the project. It provided important inputs and guidance to engineering designs. A full census has been undertaken in 30 m corridor to register and document the status of the potentially affected population within the project impact area, their assets, and sources of livelihood. The baseline data was collected in 30 m corridor to get information of a wider corridor as it gives more flexibility for deciding widening options. Census data provides the basis for establishing a cut-off date for non-title holders in order to determine who may be entitled to relocation assistance or other benefits from the project. Socio-economic survey was also carried out on census basis in Phase II. This survey provides a baseline against which mitigation measures and support will be measured and includes comprehensive examination of people's assets, incomes, important cultural or religious networks or sites, and other sources of support such as common property resources. Analyses of survey results cover the needs and resources of different groups and individuals, including intra-household and gender analysis.

Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 1 6 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCCJ Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlernent Action Plon (Phase ll) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Preparation of the RAP has been undertaken within the project's social assessment component. A key prerequisite of the RAP is a policy framework for resettlement containing categories of impacts and their corresponding entitlements. The RAP provides detailed guidance on how to implement provisions in the policy framework, including institutional arrangements and budgets based on enumeration of project-affected people with entitlements under the framework. The RAP is also an important component of the project's overall Environmental Management Action Plan developed in the environmental assessment. Detailed studies undertaken to prepare this RAP show extensive occupancy of project roadside areas, including densely settled village and urban communities containing numerous homes, businesses, and public facilities. Road widening and the other improvements proposed will impact roadside residences, businesses, religious shrines and structures, agricultural lands, public buildings, and infrastructure. Resettlement will be required only where residential and residential/commercial buildings must either be fully demolished or taken to the extent that they are rendered uninhabitable or useless. Displaced residents of these buildings will be resettled. Similarly affected businesses and other public and religious buildings and structures will be relocated. Rehabilitation will be required where resettlement, relocation, or other project impacts result in lost livelihood or income. In these cases, it will be necessary to restore the economic status of affected persons to at least pre-project levels. In most cases, the project will not require either full demolishing or the taking of residential or commercial structures to the extent that either resettlement or relocation will be necessary. Generally, only a narrow frontage strip of several meters or less will be affected. Frequently, this means that only a compound wall or fences, yards, must be removed. In some cases, small portions of roadside dwellings and businesses will be taken. Only rarely, will it be necessary to take entire residential or commercial structures. The additional land required by the project falls under several classifications: * public land owned by the State Government and administered by PWD as right-of-way (ROW) for the existing road; * public land owned by the State Government and administered by other Departments such as irrigation or Revenue; and * private land. There was no Land Acquisition in phase I of the project, but in phase 11 project would require additional land for four proposed bypasses; shifting of certain bridges/culverts and curve improvements and realignments.

India 17 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Chapter 2 Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 2 STUDY METHODOLOGY 2.1 Introduction This section deals with the approach and methodology followed for the collection and analysis of data. Social impact assessment and resettlement planning component has three main elements: * Early screening and social impact assessment as part of project feasibility studies; * Census and baseline socio-eonomic survey of potentially affected population, and; * Preparation of the Resettlement Action Plan e These elements have been further elaborated in the following paragraphs. 2.2 Social Assessment Process The complete R&R process included integration of engineering, environment and social inputs. The R&R team included Social Scientist, Civil Engineers, Field Supervisors, Community Organisers and field investigators doing the census verification, socio-eonomic surveys and public consultations. PWD is also closely integrated into the loop, whose representative closely worked with the PCC. The different steps in the R&R process is as follows: Step 1 Involves preliminary reconnaissance of the project road to take into account sections with potential environment and R&R issues. This is done with the Social Scientist in charge along with the field surveyor and investigators. At this stage the sections of roads having social impact and type of impacts are identified. Screening results were presented in the feasibility report submitted to PWD and World Bank in March 2000. Step 2 Following the above, the right of way status of the road is ascertained. This was done through collection of land records from revenue department. The right of way information is important in knowing the land available for widening, and land acquisition requirements. Collection of the right of way information continued simultaneously with the census and the socio-conomnic surveys. The census survey covers 100 % of the potentially affected population within 30m corridor. Following the designs, those within the corridor of impact were considered eligible for support under the project. The existing centreline provides the benchmark line to survey 15 meters on either side (i.e. within the 30m. corridor of impact). The baseline data was collected in 30 m corridor to get information of a wider corridor as it gives more flexibility for deciding widening options. Census data provides the basis for establishing a cut-off date for non-title holders in order to determine who may be entitled to relocation assistance or other benefits from the project. The list of surveyed villages is provided in annex 2.1. The census registered the owners' name, address, legal document if any towards the claim of the property, all household members and individuals within the potential COI; their assets and incomes and sufficient demographic and social information to determine whether they are to be categorised as vulnerable groups with special entitlements under the project. Private land owners, tenants and squatters and encroaches within the ROW were covered in the census. Social Census team is preceded by a team of Civil Engineers responsible for Govemment of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Deportment. Lucknow. India 18 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 measuring the potentially affected structure perpendicular and along the road to record the size and shape of the structure. Each structure was measured and location was recorded. The socio -economic survey, which was also carried out on census basis, provides the baseline against which mitigation measures and support will be measured. The analysis covers the needs and resources of different groups and individuals, including inter and intra-household analysis and gender analysis. Step 3 This step involves deciding sections, which need realignments and bypasses. This was executed by measuring the distance of structures from the existing centreline. If the width available fails minimum requirement, then the option of a bypass/alignment vis-&-vis demolition of structures is considered. The proximity of location of settlements along the roads is one of the deciding factors in addressing the degree of impact. This process is facilitated by local level consultations where the needs and opinion of the local people are taken into consideration, to find out the opinion of the local community about widening the road through the village, and its impacts. Step 4 The inputs of field information are integrated with the engineering designs. Once it is concluded that there is no space for expansion of the road/ any expansion will affect a large number of households, then an alternative alignment / bypass is identified around the viUage. This is done by the Social Scientist with topographic surveyor in-charge. This exercise includes analysis of various alternatives. Step 5 After the integration of the social and environmental inputs, the final engineering drawings are completed. Once this is done then the actual number of PAF's are identified, especially in the built up area, where there is reduced COI. For finding legal owners, encroachers and squatters, revenue records were used for verification of legal ROW and the boundaries of properties likely to be within the COI. With the completion of final drawings, only those within the actual COI will be considered eligible for entitlement under the project and list of PAFs is generated. Step 6 The last step in the R& R process involves documentation of social assessment process and implementation of the RAP including verification exercise, preparation of micro plans, disbursement of entitlements, relocation and resettlement, income restoration (training and implementation) and monitoring and evaluation. 2.3 Consultation Methodology The objectives of the consultation were to disseminate information about the project to the potentially affected population in order to incorporate their views and suggestion for preparing the RAP and the design and to assess the economic situation of the settlement. Second objective was later on added, as one of the objectives of State Roads Project is also to alleviate poverty in the districts through which the road is passing through. Keeping in view, the complexity of consultation, three levels were undertaken viz. State, District and Local. Govemment of Uttar Prodesh. Public Works Deportment. Lucknow. India 19 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plon (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operotions Reseorch Group August 2003 Local Level Consultation For local level consultations, villages were selected from following categories: * villages inhabited by population below poverty line and poor infrastructure facilities, * vlllages inhabited by scheduled population * villages inhabited by population above poverty line and with adequate infrastructure facilities. Women Conmnunity Organisers led by a Qualitative Data Expert consulted with the potentially affected population in-groups. Care was taken to ensure that each group is not larger than 15 persons. Before initiating the Group Discussion, social and resource maps were prepared by the villagers This also helped in building rapport with the villagers Local level helped in finalising issues like proposed location of bypasses (if proposed), distribution of resources in' the village, relocation of religious structures, etc. List of villages where local level consultations were held is provided in chapter 6 (Community Participation). District Level Consultation The objective of district level consultations was to create awareness about the project among the people, district administration, and officials of line departments and NGOs working in dhe district and particularly along the project road. These consultations were held in fourteen project affected districts. During the consultation R&R policy as approved by State Government was also discussed. Suggestions on design were invited from the participants and it has been incorporated in the design reports. List of districts where consultations were held has been provided in Chapter 6 (Community Participation). State Level Consultation State Level Stakeholder Workshop was held in Lucknow on February 11, 2002, to appraise various stakeholders about the project, its components and R&R policy. The details of the consultation are presented in chapter 6 (Community Participation). 2.4 Bypass Alignment and Identification of Affected Persons For bypass alignment, Social Team was given the centreline of the proposed bypasses with a 45m band on scale of Sajara (revenue) maps by the design team. Social team plotted the centre line on the revenue maps of the affected villages to derive the list of affected villages. and to identify affected plot numbers. On identification of affected plots, kekhpal (revenue clerk at panchayat level) was approached to identify the owners of the affected plots along with their addresses and joint holders (if any). During the plotting of centreline care has been taken to ensure that no land gets severed due to bypasses. On identification of plot owners and joint holders, questionnaire designed for bypasses was canvassed which included details regarding social and economic aspects of the affected person. The process and analysis of altematives have been explained in chapter 8 of this report. 2.5 Collection of Data from Secondary Sources, Through out the Study, various types of secondary data were used along with the primary data collected through surveys. Secondary data sources included Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (RDI values for study districts), Uttar Pradesh at a Glance, published by Jagaran Publications (Social, Cultural, Demographic and Economic profile of Uttar Pradesh), District Census Handbooks of districts through which road is passing through, Tehasil Offices (for cost of agriculture land) and various other. published and unpublished materials (as referred at the end of the individual chapters).

Besides providing improved transport services, it reduces travel time and transport costs. Improved roads help the population to have the better access to health, education and other social services. It opens new economic and employment opportunities through linkages to new markets, production centres and other areas of econornic opportunities. Thus, there is a strong link between transport and poverty redaction in the area. While extensive consultations on resettlement, environment and project design were carried out at the time of project preparation but so far adequate attention was not paid with regard to the expectations of the affected communities and local population to the changes in the transport outcomes. Poverty eradication has been one of the major objectives of planned development in India. In spite of that over one third of India's population (36%) still remains below poverty line of which nearly 37% lives in rural arfas. The main determinants of poverty are: (I) lack of income and buying power attributable to lack of productive employment and considerable underemployment and not to lack of employment per se; (ii) a continuous increase in price of food, especially food grains, which amount to 70 to 80 per cent of the consumption basket; and (iii) inadequacy of social infrastructure, affecting the quality of the people and their employability. The decline in poverty ratio during the last two decades has been uneven among the states. The pace of poverty reduction was relatively rapid in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat (now that it has to be rebuild after earthquake), Punjab and West Bengal. The decline in poverty ratio, however, was not enough to reduce the number of poor in eight major states. These states are: Assam, Bihar, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh (refer annex 3.1). Uttar Pradesh is among the most populous and poorer states in India. Though steps were taken to reduce poverty, the initiatives failed to pickup pace due to stagnant economy and weak implementation strategy and capacity of state government In light of this the World Bank initiated a research programme on rural poverty in Uttar Pradesh in 1997, which yielded a number of interesting findings on social and economic constraints as well as opportunities faced by the poor. Follow on work was initiated more recently in support of UP State Assistance Strategy and as a part of preparations for UP Fiscal and Governance Reform Loan. The later includes the development of poverty and social monitoring system design to aid in better support, better-informed policy design and analysis. The work is complemented by new work at sectoral level; there is increasing focus on poverty and social concerns throughout the UP State Assistance Programme (World Bank's Issue Paper on Uttar Pradesh Poverty Assessment). In line with the above, an attempt has been made to identify level of development among the project villages and assess how the proposed roads could bring in prosperity in the rural areas. 3.2 Process of Road Selection: Poverty as Criteria Care was taken during screening exercise to select roads, which are passing through underdeveloped and moderately developed districts, yet with minimum negative social Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment.

Districts having maximum score have been considered as poorest district and district having least score has been considered as developed district as shown in table 3.2 below: Based on the above analysis, districts falling under the State Roads Project have been classified in three categories as Developed, Moderately Developed and Least Developed, as presented in table below.

Routes 1, 4A, 7B, 10A, 12,14 and 17 serve both least developed and moderate developed districts. Routes 4B, 11, 13 and 15 serve high-developed districts in combination with either least developed or moderate developed districts. To maximise the positive impact of the project on least developed and moderately developed districts the proposed works programme should therefore include some or al of routes 5,6,7 ¶,10C, 16 and 18. Analysis of project districts under Phase II show that little over one fifth (22%) of the district faUs under moderately developed districts and rest all are least developed districts. List of Roads selected for upgradation Roads having more number of least or moderate developed roads were selected for upgradation in phase I and 11. The list of such roads is given below: Phase I Phase II Katra - Bilhaur (4A) Deoria - Ballia (16) Baharaich - Faizabad (7) Azamgarh - Phephna (7B) Bhoganipur - Chaudagra mode (14) Gorakhpur-Shahganj (1OA) Jaunpur-Mohammadpur (18) Sitapur - Baharaich (6) Bangarmau - Lucknow (4B) Pilibhit - Khutar (3) Moradabad- Bazpur (11) Source: Consultants' study. Though route numbers 5 and 10C were identified for upgradation from social's point of view (viz., less land acquisition, minimum displacement, minimum impact on cultural properties, fewer tribal families getting affected, etc), were finally dropped from the list of upgradation roads, as they were not economically viable. Route 8, which was selected in phase I has been declared as National Highway and therefore has been dropped from the scope of work of this project. 3.3 Infrastructure Development and Poverty Alleviation Infrastructure services, including power, road and transport, telecommunication, water and sanitation and waste-disposal are central to the activities of households and to economic production (World Development Report, 1994). The adequacy of infrastructure is a critical determinant of a country's capacity in accelerating its growth that is consistent with poverty reduction, infrastructure development and poverty are inversely related and . good infrastructure raises productivity and lowers production costs and thereby poverty.

India 24 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 infrastructure failures quickly and radically reduce community's quality of life, productivity and causes poverty. Conversely, improved infrastructure services enhance welfare and foster economic growth. As countries develop, infrastructure must adapt to support changing patterns of demand. 3X1 THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP The poor are inherently more vulnerable to inadequate infrastructure settings and number or specific infrastructure problem affects the poor disproportionately. Access to at least mninimal infrastructure services is one of the essential elements to attain welfare. To a great extent the poor can be identified as those who are not able to consume a basic quantity of clean water and who are subject to unsanitary surroundings, with extremely limited mobility or communication beyond their immediate settlement. As a result, they have-more health problems and fewer employment opportunities (World Development Report, 1994). Different infrastructure sectors have different effect on improving the quality of life and reducing poverty. The thematic links between access and poverty reduction could be depicted as follows: The links between infrastructure and poverty. (a) Access to clean water and sanitation - Reduces mortality and morbidity and increases income-eaniing activities. (b) Access to transport and irrigation - Increases non-farm employment opportunities and reduces regional food price variations. (c) Construction and maintenance of roads and water works - Direct employment and famine prevention. (d) Access to power - High productivity and income. Important considerations The cardinal virtues to be built in infrastructure building projects are: (a) Participation of poor in i nfrastructure building projects; (b) Thrust on resources poor areas where increasing number of poor li ve; (c) Exclusively measures to ensure access of poor to infrastructure projects; (d) Strong institutional arrangements; and (e) Emphasis on participation of NGOs. 3.32 INFRASTRUCTURE AND POVERTY INCIDENCE IN INDIA The burgeoning population growth, limited resources and pursuance of new economic policies of Govemment of India have been placing a heavy demand on all kinds of infrastructure services. The infrastructure base, which was built earlier, has proved inadequate. Power generation, railway and road network, ports, telecommunication, industrial research and development are all found to be inadequate. Over the years the development experience has thrown up several weak spots in the development process. Once such weak spot is the increasing regional disparities both interstate and intra-state. These disparities will be further accentuated in the current development strategy driven by market forces and deregulation of private sector. One of the consequences of such development process is concentration and accentuation of poverty. The infrastructure bottleneck has been aggravatirig poverty and posing serious impediments Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow.

In a drive for development, post independence India has been striving hard to eliminate famine, poverty and illiteracy. State intervention, with strategy for poverty eradication and welfare oriented public expenditure has enable the country in overcoming the challenge. The poverty line dropped from around 54% in 1983 to 36% in 1989 to 1990 in rural areas and from 45% to 38% in urban areas. Over the period 1991 to 1997, urban poverty declined but rural poverty has remained broadly unchanged. The plan and programmes, however, have not enabled the country where it is expected to be. The result is far behind the projected and expected target in reducing poverty and increasing living standard. Available estimates indicate that India has the highest poverty rate, in comparison to other countries. Approximately 300 million of Indian people or lin 3 live below poverty line (India Development Report, 1991). The absolute number of poor has risen over recent decades. Preliminary World Bank evidence suggests that the number of poor has increased from 300 million in 1988-89 to 340 million in 1997 (Asian Development Report, 1998). 3.4 Uttar Pradesh State Roads Proj ect The Scope for Poverty Reduction UPSRP as a major infrastructure development project has an intrinsic scope for poverty reduction. The project is not only meant to serve the road users in a better way or to provide for income restoration to the affected vulnerable social groups; but also has a scope for wider poverty reduction in the region. UPSRP is expected to serve the society of the region as a whole in much larger way. In order to assess the probable positive impacts of improved road network, study was carried out in the villages along the project routes. Govemment of Uttar Prodesh. Public Works Deportment.

India 27 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCCJ Services for uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plon (Phose ll) DHV in associotion with Operotions Research Group August 2003 3.5 Methodology Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project would be covering over 1000 km of roads for upgradation and 2500 km of roads for mapr maintenance in two phases. Phase l, includes 374 km of road stretches for upgradation and nearly 808 km for major maintenance. Phase nI, includes 590 km of road stretches for upgradation and approximately 1735 km for major ma4ttenance. This study has been carried out on sample basis. Preference was.given to smaller and poor villages with no or minimum infrastructure facilities, though few big and prosperous villages with good infrastructure facilities were also covered. Such a comparison besides assessing the benefits to the local population from the improved transport facilities will help to gauge the perceptions of the people with regard to road improvement and its impact on their living conditions. The field survey was carried out in the villages selected for local level consultations. Of the total affected villages and urban areas, 93 villages were selected for the survey. Survey included mapping of the village and Focus Group Discussions. Apart from this, secondary data was also collected from various sources. Selection criteria of Villages Following factors were considered to select villages: * Population size of the villages * Scheduled population of the village * Available infrastructure of the viUage (Villages with less infrastructure were selected) * Distance from Block Head Quarter (Villages away from the Block HQ were selected) Lists of villages were survey was undertaken along with the summary of discussion has been presented in Annex 3.2. 3.6 Results and Discussion 36.1 CURRENT STATUS Duimg the socio economic survey a total of 1393 families below poverty line were identified as shown in table 3.5 below.

Very little employment opportunities are available within the village. Employment opportunities available are generaUy agriculture or non-agriculture labour activities. Non-agriculture labour activities are primarily govemment's poverty alleviation programmes, but such employment opportunities are not regular. Very few households were found to possess ben$ficiary cards for Employment Assurance Schemes. Even the wages received are not uniform. For agriculture related work payment varies from Rs 25 per day to Rs 60 per day. Discussion revealed that people migrate to other viUages and even to different blocks for employment. Employment opportunities outside their villages includes government poverty aleviation programme apart from agriculture labour activities. Work under government poverty alleviation programmes includes construction of roads and community buildings, schools, heath centres, toilets, drainage, canal, irrigation units, clear felling of forested areas, etc. However, such employments are seasonal and irregular. Perceived Benefits/Changes: With the improved highways and increased vehicular movements, it is perceived that employment opportunities will go up as other nearby towns will be better connected. People will be able to move to farther distances in search of employment. Self- employment opportunities will also increase such as roadside eaieries, vehicle repair shops, etc. 3.62 ECONOMIC CHANGES Average Household Income, Expenditure and Sources of Income The average annual household income varies from approximately Rs 19,000 to Rs 44,000 whereas the average annual household expenditure ranges between approximately Rs 16,000 to Rs 38,000. Though like any rural area, agriculture remains the major source of income for most of the inhabitants, trade and business was found to be major source of income for those settled along the road and in urban areas. Contribution of labour activities (both agriculture and non-agriculture) is more than alied agriculture activities such as dairy, poultry and goatery. Sale of forestry products (especially on route 3) was also reported as one of the source of income, primarily because of thick forest cover in the certain sections of the road. Incidence of child labour was also found in the project roads, as many children were found to be working as helping hand in roadside eateries and shops. Perceived Benefit: It is perceived that with better connectivity and increased sources of income, average household income of people living along and those close to the highways will go up. Increased income will help in reducing debts and would increase the buying power of the people, thus would improve over all standards of living. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 29 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plon (Phase II) DHIV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Current land use pattern and the land market/prices Irrigated cultivated land was found more in the western UP (Route No. 3, 4B, 6 and 11) as compared to east (Route Nq 7B, 10A and 16). Agriculture land in east is mainly rain fed. One reason could be the existing canal network in west. At the same time, Usar (sodic land) was found more in west than east. Size of agriculture land is quite smal in east as fompared to west except in Baharaich on route no.6. Major Kharif crops include Paddy, Jowar, Bajra, and Arhar, whereas Rabi crops include Wheat and Peas. Large tracts of sugarcane cultivation were found in Baharaich, Gorakhpur and Azamgarh in eastern districts and in Moradabad, Sitapur, and Pilibhit in western districts. Wheat cultivation on large scale was found along the Pilibhit-Khutar route (route nQ. 3) primarily by migrant Sikh community. The average replacement value of Irrigated land ranges from Rs 180,000 to Rs 800,000 where as unirrigated land varies from Rs 45,000 to 90,000 per hectare. There fore, Rs 800,000 per hectare for irrigated and Rs 90,000 per hectare for unirrigated land has been considered for RAP budget Discussion with the villagers revealed that farm inputs are generally bought from block and at times from the district headquarters. Some times fertilizers, seeds, etc are also available in big vilages through TATA Krishi kendra. Most of the villages do not have organised market for sale of agriculture produce. Generally vilagers' transport the produce to block or some time middleman comes to the viDlage arid produce are sold on commission basis. For the purchase of farm inputs, credits are available either through private moneylender or rural co-operative banks. Villagers prefer Co-operative banks because of low interest rates. Perceived Impact: It is expected that, with the upgradation of highuways, land price along the highways will move upward and this certainly will bring in change in the land use. As evident in other road projects, with the improvement of highways and laying of new roads (mainly bypasses), agriculture land along the highways will be converted into residential and commercial blocks. People now engaged as cultivators, may change their occupation by selling off their land at higher prices. 3.63 ACCESS TO SOCIAL/VELFARE SERVICES Literacy Status Of all the villages surveyed, over two fifths reportedly do not have their own school. This is supported by the fact that average literacy rate among the surveyed villages is 33%. Apart from government primary schools, some villages also have private run schools. Still, in some villages children even travel more than 8 km to attend primary school. The exact figure of school going children could not be found but discussion with the villagers revealed that drop out rate especialy among girl students is quite high. Though poverty, multi-class teaching practices, poor facilities at school and absence of teachers from the school were cited as reasons for drop out, the main reason, which emerged out of the discussion, was participation in household work for girl child and assistance provided to their parent in agriculture field for male child. Student-teacher ratio was found to be quite high in the surveyed villages. Perceived Benefits: Improved roads will definitely have a positive impact on education, as time to reach townslvillages with better education facilities will be reduced substantially. Secondly, with better approach even attendance in local primary and middle schools will also increase. Health Facility Since provision of health facilities is governed by certain norms, every village cannot have health centre. Primary Health Centres and Anganwadi (ICDS Centres) were found in some Govemment of Uttor Prodesh. Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 30 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operotions Research Group August 2003 of the surveyed villages. Privately. run clinics were also found in many villages. Health seeking behaviour of people reveals that they prefer allopathic treatnent and this is one reason why, so many private clinics are being run' in the villages. Majority of these medical practitioners do not have any firmal training in medicines. Perceived Benefit: Most of the better-equipped health facilities are located in big urban areas or district head quarters. With the upgradation of roads, which will connect the villages aVd semi- urban areas with towns and at places with district headquarters, people's access to better heath facility will certainly increase. Access to Transport Facility Being roadside villages, all the surveyed villages were found to be well connected by road transport i.e., by bus. However, proper bus stops (shelters) were found only in semi-urban or urban areas, but they are rarely used. Normally buses stops near intersections or market areas. In fact in most of the villages, there is no designated place for the buses to stop. Frequency of bus services was also found to be good. Apart from buses, other mode of transports is also available. For shorter distances, people prefer local mode of transports (tempos or jeeps) as cost of travel is less than bus and secondly, long distance buses do not stop at every village. However, trave4ing in such mode of transport involves high amount of risk, as they are over loaded with passengers and travels at very high speed. Discussion revealed that travel to district head quarter or to other districts is occasional, but travel to block headquarter is quite common. Perceived Benefits: TraLsportfacility is bound to improve with the upgradation of highway, as many private operators will join for shorter distances viz., from state transport bus stop to vilages inside or to market, etc. Occurence of Accidents Accidents are quite common on project roads, primarily involving heavy vehicles. Accidents involving non-motorised vehicles or pedestrians were also reported by villagers and police, which generally occur during night, or while crossing the road. Discussion with police personnel revealed that most of the accidents go un-recorded especially if only damage occurs to the vehicle as parties involved go for out of court mutual settlement. First Information Report is lodged only if accident is fatal. A full-fledged safety audit will be carried out by an external agency for the entire state under the project. Perceived Impact: With the improvement in road conditions, number of accidents will reduce but accidents occurring will be fatal, the reason being increased speed of vehicles. However, design has taken care of pedestrian safety by providing iron railings in all urban areas. Access to governmentt's development programs and other services All the surveyed villages were found to be covered under centrally sponsored Poverty Alleviation Programmes of Government of India. Some of the common implemented programmes are Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (RY), Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS) and Indira Awas Yojana (IAY). Other programmes implemented are Training for Rural Youths for Self Employment (TRYSEM), Supply of Improved Tool Kits to Rural Artisans (SITRA), Million Wells Scheme, etc. Some of the programmes are repeated every year, whereas some are repeated after a gap of 2 to 5 years. Discussion revealed that transparency in selection of beneficiaries is lacking in most of the programmes. Some of the beneficiaries reportedly do not even fall under BPL category. To ensure that government's poverty alleviation programme is extended to eligible PAPs for income restoration, R&R Coordinator of PWD, counterparts at divisional level and NGO responsible for RAP implementation will work in close coordination with officials of DRDA. R&R Coordinator and his counterparts at Government of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 31 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 divisional level will coordinate with DRDA at district and block lever, whereas implementing NGO will coordinate at vilage level. Perceived Benefits: Since resettlement of affected persons will be considered as a developmental project and R&R coordinator will be dosely working with the concerned government official, all eligible PAPs will get covered under poverty alleviation programmes. Corerage under centrally sponsored schemes will add up to annual household income; thus improving their standard of living. 3,6A HOUSING CONDITION Nearly 70 percent of the total houses in surveyed vfllages were found to be ternporary i.e., mud walls and thatched roofs/wooden structures, whereas another 20 percent was found to be serni pernanent i.e., brick walls with temporary roofs. Percentage of permanent houses is more in routes of western UP than routes in eastern districts. Just 2 percent of the total households were found to be electrified (at least one electric point under Kutir Jyoti Programme), though legalstatus of electrification could not be confirmed. Perceived Benefits: Since projict is offering pernanent housing for vulnerable displaced PAPs, housing conditions of at least displaced peoples are bound to improve. The project will provide housingfadclities as per Indira Awas Yojana norms. 3A.5 COMMON DRASTRUCrURFE0OURCES Survey for common infrastructures include drinking water facilities, streetights, sanitation, vilage wood lot and grazing land. Drinking water facilities was found to be available in an the villages in form of hand pump or weOl. Piped water facility (stand post) was found only in 7 villages. None of the vilages had streetlights. Though drains have been constructed in almost all the villages under JRY or EAS or MP/MLA Local Area Development Fund, most of them were found to be chocked. Grazing land and village wood lot was not found in any of the surveyed villages. Though almost all villages have land administered by Gram Panchayat which could have been used as grazing land, most of such patches have been either encroached upon or patta has been issued to land less for those lands. Roadside social forestry under taken by UP Forest Department, may serve as village wood lot if proper care is taken by the villagers. Perceived Benefits: Under the project, drainage facility will be provided in villages with acute drainage or water logging problem. Even new culverts, rigid pavement or raised carriageway, etc is the measures taken in waterlogged areas. Project will also plant trees along the road in three rows where the villagers will own the last row. This will act as village wood lot. Better drinking waterfacilities will be provided in resettlement colonies. 3.7 Probable Impacts of Improved Road Network The proposed road project is expected to bring in economic and social changes, which in tum will bring rural prosperity. The possible positive impacts are listed below. Increased Employment Opportunities: The immediate benefits of road construction and improvement will come in the form of employment opportunities for the roadside conmmunities and specially those who are engaged as wage labourers, petty contractors and suppliers of raw materials. It is expected that during the construction phase, number of employment opportunities will be available viz., labour force (policy clearly indicates' that preference be given to local population in selection of labourers), helping hands, gardeners in contractors' office, drivers, etc. Similarly with colony of construction workers and Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 32 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project ResetPlement Action Plan (Phase II) DHV in associotion with Operations Research Group August 2003 contractor coming up petty business like tea and food stalls, barbershop, beetle shop, grocery, milk vending, etc will be in demand. Increased Market Opport#nities: It is further expected that wage rates in the area would improve; as a result purchasing power will also increase. Improved road networks provide for improved linkages between the village communities and urban centres, whth provides wider marketing facilities. People will have wider options -in buying and selling their conmmodities. Small and petty village traders may tap the bigger markets, transport the produces fast and get more profit margins instead of depending solely on local markets and the middleman. Speedy and efficient transportation will help in saving time and reduces the wastage, particularly in case of agricultural produces, vegetables and milk etc and also save enough time for other works back home. Increased Mobility of Human Resources: Road networks not only links the viDlage communities to better markets, but also opens up wider work opportunities in distant places. People can shuttle to distant work sites and towns and engage in construction, factories, business as well as domestic works. People get regular works with higher wages without migrating permanently or seasonally if the transportation is efficient Increased Local Economics and Cr&dit Opportunities: Improved road networks encourages urban entrepreneurs to invest in far and remote areas in commercial farming and industrial activities. Villagers may lease out their lands and houses for higher prices make new business partner and this develops their entrepreneurship skills. With more money flowing to the villages, there will be more work opportunities. People get opportunities to open up tea stall, hotels, garage and rest house and so on which in tum generates additional employment in terms of helping hands. With the improved networking and cash management, the villagers can tap new institutional credit institute and financial services. Increased Institutional Networks: Improved roads also help people building strong institutional network with outside agencies. They can put forward their grievances and meet them quickly from the government and non-government sectors. Frequency of interaction will increase among people and out side agencies thereby paying more attention to their problems in the village. The villages will be under constant vigil by the higher governmnent officials, politicians, development agents that helps in regular and efficient maintenance of village school, health centres, electricity, irrigation, drinking waters, veterinary and other development schemes. Essential and emergency services can be availed fast like schools, health centres, public distribution system etc. Govemment of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow.

With the increasing emphasis on participatory development and democratisation, people become more aware of their duties and responsibilities and will develop more bargaining power. Increased Scope for Better Management of Public Schemes: Interaction with the government, non-government and other development agents, help people gain new knowledge on improved farming, land development, development and maintenance of natural resources through the formation of various economic and social development committees. Recently implemented development schemes like forest management committees, watershed committees, health and education committees, farmers association etc can work better with the easy, efficient transportation that connects progressively the people and the development agents.

The action plan has been prepared based on the broad outlines laid down in the policy. The principle of the R&R policy is the guiding philosophy to prgvide a development approach to resettle and rehabilitate the people affected by project. In particular; * Wherever possible, displacement will be reduced on or avoided altogether by sensitive design of civil works (e.g. altemative designs or modification to the design). * Where displacement is unavoidable, those displaced will have their living standard improved. They will be located as a single unit among the peer groups or will be assisted to integrate into their new community. Particular attention will be paid to the needs of the most vulnerable groups to be resettled. * PAPs will be compensated, at replacement cost, for assets lost. Adequate social and physical infrastructure will be provided. * PAPs and lost community would be encouraged to participate in the design and the implementation of RAP. The RAP delivers a comprehensive package of compensation and assistance to entitled persons, families groups suffering losses as a result of the project. It provides mitigation for: * Loss of assets, including land and house or work place * Loss of livelihood or income opportunities * Collective impact on groups such as loss of community infrastructure, common property resources, and others All losses will be compensated and assistance will be provided at replacement value, irrespective of their legal standing in the project area. Special assistance will be extended to the vulnerable to enhance their earning opportunities. 4.2 Entitlement Categories Three primary categories have been identified for entitlement of compensation and assistance under R&R package of Government of Uttar Pradesh, viz. * Project Affected Families * Project Affected individual Adults (PAAs) * Project Affected Groups (PAGs) 42.1 PROJECT AFFECTED FAMILIES The Families getting affected due to the project are entitled for compensation for the loss of land, structure and other such immovable assets including crops. They will have the right to salvage building materials and counselling on alternative site. The compensation will be given to the head of the household. The PAF is eligible for following entitlement Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 35 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase Ilj DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 * Consultation, counselling regarding altematives, and assistance in identifying new sites and opportunities. PAHs apart from counselling on various entitlement packages will also receive help in identifying suitable relocation site, identification of alternative economic rehabilitation*chemes and training for skill upgradation. * Compensation for land at replacement cost, allowances for fees or other charges. * Advance notice to harvest non-perennial- crops or compensation for lost standing crops. In case due to shortage of time, advance notice could not be served compensation will be paid. The compensation will be twice the amount of market price of the crop lost. * Compensation for perennial crops and trees will be calculated as three years produce value. * Replacement or compensation for structures or other non -land assets. * Right to salvage materials from existing demolished structures. * PAFs belonging to the vulnerable groups are eligible for existing govemment-housing schemes for the weaker section of the society. The vulnerable groups may be defined as Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, women headed households, land-less and below poverty line families (annual income below Rs 24,000). * Shifting Assistance to move their belongings to the new relocation site. * Option of moving to resettlement sites or clusters; incorporating needs for shelter and livelihood. 42 PROJECT AFFECITED PERSONS All majors in a household (i.e. above the age of 18 years) are eligible for assistance for loss of livelihoods. Thus, there may be more than one person eligible in each household. The project will provide rehabilitation and assistance for loss of livelihood for any individual impacted by the project. Additional support mechanisms will be made available to re-establish or enhance their livelihood through existing government poverty alleviation programmes. If available, employment associated with the project would be provided. The entitlement package includes: * Rehabilitation and Assistance for lost or diminished livelihood. All PAPs eligible under this package will be provided help to improve or at least regain the former income level. Special attention will be paid to the vulnerable groups. * Additional support mechanisms for vulnerable families in re-establishing or enhancing livelihood. Vulnerable group will receive counselling on alternatives, guidance on appropria te training programmes and advice on marketing new products. * Employment opportunities connected with the project to the extent possible. It is expected that number of job opportunities will be created by the project. In such opportunities, preference will be given to the PAPs. These job opportunities will be over and above the assistance provided to restore their lost income level. These opportunities are not necessarily limited to the vulnerable group, but to every PAP. The majority of the jobs created will be in unskilled and semi-skilled nature therefore can always be given to the PAPs. Government of Uttar Prodesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow.

The first attempt to legally acquire land was made in 1824, through Regulation 1 of 1824 applicable to immediate subject of presidency of Fort William. The rules empowered government to acquire immovable property for public purposes. 2. Provisions of 1824 were extended to Calcutta through Act I of 1850. 3. Act XLII was brought to enable the provisions of regulation I of 1824 to be used for acquiring land for construction of railways. 4. Building Act XXVII of 1839, Act XX of 1852 was introduced to obviate the difficulties to particular cities of Bombay and Madras. 5. Act VI of 1857 was the first full enactment, which had application to the whole of British India. It repealed all previous enactments relating to acquisition and its object, 6. Principle of Arbitration was introduced for the first time through Act VI of 1857 but procedure for making a reference to the arbitrator was found unsatisfactory and then came Act X of 1870. For the first time a detailed procedure for the acquisition of land were provided in 1870 Act. Rules were also framed for the determination of an amount of compensation. 7. The provisions of the 1870 Act did not satisfy the needs of the day and eventually the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (I of 1894) was enacted repealing the 1870 Act. 4A2 LAND ACQUISITION ACI AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PROJECI AND ITS POLICY In the table below, relevant sections of the LA Act and the relevance of such sections in the project has been given.

In private transaction the buyer and the seller negotiate the "price" between themselves. The seller is willing to sell. The buyer is willing to buy. The price offered and accepted is decided mutualy and finaly agreed upon. The level at which the price is fixed is determined based on the 'market conditions'. Contrarily, in the acquisition of private lands by the state the landowner's consent and willingness is not necessarily (section 24) of the LA Act. The person will lose land even if he/she does not want to part with it. Secondly, while fixing the compensation amount the land owners' objections and opinions are heard (under section 9 and 11 of the LAA), but it is not necessary that the amount quoted by him/her must be agreed to. The landowner thus has no control over his/her right of ownership or on the level of compensation. It may be said therefore that compensation is not a price. Market Value The Land Acquisition Act (u/s 23) stipulates that while determining compensation the "market value" prevailing on the date of preliminary notification (u/s 4(1)) should be taken into consideration. However, the Act or the Rules neither define "market value" not specify the mechanisms to fix the same. Solatium Acquisition of lands by the state is compulsory in nature. Such compulsion injures the feelings and causes inconvenience to the owners. The law therefore provide for the payment of mandatory "solatium". The percentage of solatium has varied from time to time. With effect from September 1984 when LAA was amended, it is 30 percent of the market value. Additional Market Value The reckoning date for ascertaining the market value is the date on which preliminary notification (u/s 4(1)) is published. Between this notification and actually taking possession of the land, ordinarily there will be a time gap varying between three months to three years. Retrofitting the market value as on the date of 4(1) notification would cause a great loss to the owner. The law therefore, provides for an additional market value at the rate of 12 percent per annum of the market value from the date of 4(1) notification till the date of award or taking possession which ever is earlier.

India 41 Project Co-ordinating Consultonfs (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roods Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operotions Research Group August 2003 Interest In case of delay, the law provides for payment of interest on the compensation. For the first 12 months, the interest at the rate of 12 percent is payable from the date of the award. For delays beyond 12 months from the date of declaration of the award, 15 percent is the rate of interest. METHODS OF CALCULATING COMPENSATION As said earlier, there is no fixed method of calculating compensation in the Act However, the basic element in deciding the amount of compensation is the market value (u/s 23). Within the framework of law, the courts have interpreted market value as the price that a willing purchaser would pay to a willing seller for a property giving due regard to its existing condition, with all its advantages and potential possibilities. It is however, not easy to precisely determine what should be the most accurate market value of a given property. The market conditions are never constant. The demand and supply factors vary enormously over a period of time and from place to place. The uniqueness of each property, its location, size, quality and possible potentialities need to be considered. With these constraints, different methods determining compensation are in vogue. Some of the methods are discussed here: Sale Statistics Method Land being an immovable property, all its sales and purchases have to be registered. The registered sale prices can be taken as adequate indicator of market value of a given piece of land. Sale prices of those lands, which are comparable in time and quality, are only to be considered. Following steps are involved in calculating compensation according to sales statistics method. Step 1: Collect statistics of sales of land/buildings adjacent to ones being acquired in three to four years preceding 4(1) notification from Registration Department. Step2: Workout average of 3 to 4 years per acre/hectare. Step3: Average Price(AP) + 0.3 AP+0.12AP per annum from the date of 4(1) notification to date of award to arrive at compensation. Step4: Add damages, if any or incidental, if any. Step5: Calculate interest from date of award at 9% for first 12 months and 15% for the period thereafter. Capitalisation Method Where reliable information is not available about the prevailing market value of the land, capitalisation method is used to decide compensation. Following steps are involved in calculating compensation according to capitalisation method. Stepl: Gross Income - CostNet Income Step2: Net Income x Multipl ier- = Market Value Step3: Market Value (MV) +30% of MV as solatium + 12% of MV per annum as Additional Market Value =Compensation Step4: Compensation + Damages / incidental + interest *There are no fixed limits on the choice of the multiplier. It is based on conjectures or precedents. Generally, a multiplier of 10 to 12 is used for valuing non-irrigated land whereas 8 to 10 is deemed sufficient for irrigated lands. For buildings based on net rental income, a multiplier of 15 or 20 is used. In assessing the value of plantation or horticultural crops, generally a multiplier of 10 is acceptable. Govemment of Uttor Prodesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India 42 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlernent Action Plan (Phase II) DHV in associotion with Operations Research Group August 2003 Expert Assessment Assessment of value of certain horticultural crops, plantation crops, buildings, waterways, bunds, etc require special expertise. Professional valuers are used for valuing such immovable properties. Valuers take into account the longevity, health and expected yield levels while assessing income and standard practices along with the age. Experts use certain multipliers to arrive at a capitalized value of the assets. The multiplier generally used relates to the remaining period in the longevity of the structures-or remaining age of the crops or rental expected. Consent Award Negotiated settlement of compensation stands on a footing different from those of other methods of deciding the market value of the acquired asset. The essential elements are: * that the landowners and the collector reach an agreement on the matter to be included in the compensation. * that the terms of such agreement form the basis of the award and no further enquiry is necessary * that other provisions of the Act do not apply to such awards. The consent of landowner is essential to finalise such awards. Once consent is obtained it cannot be questioned at a later stage. This process comes very close to market mechanism, where in buyers and sellers negotiate the price. It also provides an opportunity to the landowners to participate in the process of determining compensation. Replacement Value It is argued that the compensation awarded for the acquired land and other amenities, buildings, etc. should be adequate to enable purchase of comparable assets elsewhere by the affected people. In this direction, the proponents of rehabilitation emphasise that wherever compensation is not adequate enough to buy replacement lands/buildings, the project authorities must provide other topping up devices to overcome the shortfall. A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALL THE METHODS All the five methods of assessing market value of acquired lands may be compared as shown in the table below under following heads: 1. Proximity to market value 2. Time taken 3. Who uses? 4. Degree of participation of PAPs 5. Equity 6. Frequency of use Table 4.4: Comparison of Different Methods of Assessing Market Value SI.No. Criteria Sale Capitalisatio Expert Consent Replacemen Statistics n Assessmen Award t Value 1 Proximity to Remote Closer Closer Closest Equal to or Market value more 2 1Time Taken Shorter Average Average Shortest Longer 3 Who uses?

Though it is the least used by the government and takes long time it is highly equitable as it provides maximum opportunity to the affected people to participate in the acquisition process. The compensation thus offered is equal to or greater than the real market value. Consent award could be rated second, while expert assessment and capitatisation method stand close to each other in the third place. 443 THE UTTAR PRADESH LAND ACQUISITION (DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION AND DECLARATION OF AWARD BY AGREEMENT) RULES, 1997 The rules were made in the exercise of power under subsection 2 of section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and was published in Official Gazette No. 2(4)(1)/85 24-Rev-13, dated June 12, 1997 and English translation of the notification was published on September 16, 1997; No. 2382/XCVI-2-(1)/85-24Rev.13. The rules says the "the body or department for which the land if being acquired may, at any stage of the proceedings settle down the terms and conditions and rates of the [and under acquisition, with the land owners and appear before the Collectors and make an application indicating the terms and conditions so settled down and its readiness and willingness for determination of compensation and declaration of award in accordance with agreement. The CoUector shall, if satisfied, issue notice to the persons interested in the land under acquisition to express their readiness and willingness to execute the agreement in writing, on the matters to be included in the award". A change was made in the above rules regarding setting up of a committee for finalisation of rates. On September 29, 2001, revenue department through Principal Secretary (Revenue) vide letter no. 1718/1-13-2001-20/124/2001-Rev-13 informed Commissioner, Industrial Development, Uttar Pradesh; Principal Secretary, Housing, Uttar Pradesh; All Divisional Commissioners; All District Magistrates about the said change. The committee will be chaired by District Magistrate and will have the following members: 1. Authorised representatives of the acquisition body / department as Member Coordinator 2.Additional District Magistrate (Finance/Revenue) and District Registrar as Member 3.Concemed Sub Registrar also as member. The letter also says that above mentioned committee will provide proper justification of the rates arrived at through mutual agreement and will send the same to Divisional Commissioner for ratification. 4.4.4 METHOD TO BE FOLLOWED IN UPSPR-II Under UPSRP-II, consent award will be followed as per "The Uttar Pradesh Land Acquisition (Determination of Compensation and Declaration of Award by Agreement) Rules, 1997" (refer annex 4.2). In case some landowner refuses to come for negotiation, replacement value will be given by topping up compensation by productive grant asset, which is primarily the difference between the compensation and replacement value.

The State of Uttar Pradesh, whilst fourth largest in India in geographical land area, has a population that is estimated to be of the order of 170 million people, a figure superseded by only six countries in the world. The 1991 Census recorded a figure of 139 million people, which, with a total land area of 298,000 square kilometres, represented an average population density of 473 persons per square kilometre. The population growth rate between the 1971 and 1991 census has remained constant at 2.3 percent per annum over this twenty-year period. Based on this population growth rate, average population density is calculated to have increased by some 22 percent to over 570 persons per square kilometre. Tat'_ 5.1 shows the regional summary of population and population density, as per the 1991 Census, together with population data for the preceding four Census periods and the corresponding inter-census growth rates. This population spread reflects the fact that most of Uttar Pradesh is characterised by the flat, fertile plains of the sub Terai lowlands, conducive to farming and agriculthre. The less densely populated hills and mountains are confined to the southwestern and northwestern parts of the State respectively.

When settlements with a population of less than 5,000 people are included, then as much as 80 percent of the Statewide population is accounted for. As is the trend in developing countries worldwide, the extent of urbanization is rising. This is evidenced by the increase to 41 (in 1991) of the number of urban areas in Uttar Pradesh having a population in excess of 100,000 people (one Lakh persons). Urban growth has registered 3.3 percent per annum over Government of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Depariment. Lucknow.

Purely in terms of demography, the Eastem region is relatively disadvantaged in comparison to the other regions in that both higher population densities and decennial population growth rates have served to place greater pressures on agricultural productivity and output The lower rate of urbanisation in the Eastem region (11.6 percent in 1991) compared with the Westem (26.3 percent) and Central (23.7 percent) regions also reflects the poorer developmental trends in the east. The relative poverty of the eastem region is further evidenced by the published data on various socio-economic indicators, infrastructure facilities and per capita output A summary of the data across the five main regions is shown, in indexed form as expressed relative to the value for Uttar Pradesh, for comparative purposes, in Table 5.3.

In the northwestern portion of the State is the Himalayan region and in the south to southwest lie the Southern hills and plateau. The Himalayan region includes several mountain ranges exceeding 7,000 metres (m) in altitude where the major rivers such as the Ganga and the Yamuna have their source. Up to 1,500m, rainfall is abundant and due to the excessive moisture, forests cover the lower mountain ranges and foothills. The hill areas are characterised by pasturelands. The Gangetic plains lie largely between 100m and 300m above sea level. A narrow east-west belt, lying in the northem part of the State alongside the border with Nepal, constitutes what is known as the Terai, an area of marshland that was once unfit for human habitation. The width of this Terai belt has dinmnished considerably since the 1950s due to intensive measures taken on both sides of the Uttar Pradesh/ Nepalese border to eradicate malaria and recover the land for agriculture. Outside of the Terai, the high fertility of the plains permits a two-crop cycle in both the winter and rainy seasons. The southernmost hills and plateau have scarce rainfall and high temperatures. There are six types of vegetation in the State. In the high altitudes of the Himalayan region betveen 2,900m and 3,500m are the sub Alpine and Alpine forests with the Moist Temperate Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow. india 47 Project Co-ordinating Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttor Prodesh Stote Roads Project Resettlernent Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in associotion with Operations Research Group August 2003 forests being found at altitudes of between 1,600m and 2,900m. In the lower Himalayan foothills are Sub Tropical Pine forests. In the northem parts of the plains and the Terai area can be found Tropical Moist Deciduous forests, and in all parts of the plains in the westem, central and eastem parts;pf the State are Tropical Dry Deciduous trees. Lastly, Tropical Thomy trees are found in the dry southwestem parts of Uttar Pradesh. There are two major -rverine systems in Uttar Pradesh. Although both the Ganga and Yamuna rivers originate in the Himalayan glaciers, their respective flows are determined by the Himalayas in the north and by the southem hills and plateau. The Himalayan Rivers are ful almost al the year round and fill gradualy with water from the melting snowfaU in the summer, whereas the southem rivers dry up in the summer and are therefore more prone to rapid flooding in the rainy season. There are three main climatic seasons in Uttar Pradesh, the winter months from October to February, the summer months from March to June and the monsoon period between June and September in which most rainfall takes place. Excepting for the very cold conditions and considerable snowfall experienced in the Himalayan mountain region, Uttar Pradesh is largely temperate in climate with temperatures ranging between 12 and 17 degrees Celsius in the winter period in January and exceeding the 40 degree Celsius mark in the summer months of May and June. The summer months, prior to the onset of the monsoon rains, are also characterised by hot winds blowing from the west. Average annual rainfall in most of the State, in the sub-Himalayan belt, is of the order of one tho usand millimetres per year. .1.3 LAND USE Land use in Uttar Pradesh is predominantly agriculture based. The breakdown of land utilisation in the State is shown in Table 5.4. The Remote Sensing Centre within the Department of Science and Technology has carried out limited aerial photographic surveys of selected urban areas such as Varanasi, but recent land use mapping for the State as a whole is not yet available. The most recent map based published information relating to land use is that contained in a detailed Planning Atlas of Uttar Pradesh2, which was published in 1987 and largely refers to the position prevailing in the State between 1981 and 1984. Nonetheless, given that agricultural land holdings will have remained relatively unchanged over the past 15 to 20 years, such mapping provides a useful indication of the major land use activities in Uttar Pradesh. A selection of pertinent maps reproduced from this Planning Atlas document, relating to physical relief, forest types, drainage, rainfall, land use and wasteland in Uttar Pradesh are shown in Chapter 8 which deals with the Environmental Impact Screening.

There is the Council of Ministers that is collectively responsible to the Vidhan Parishad, this Council being presided over by a Chief Minister who is appointed by the Governor. The Vidhan Parishad of Parliament comprises 426 members with 425 electoral constituencies. The maximum term of the Vidhan Parishad is five years after which ele.ions must be held. The main business of this elected chamber is to enact legislation and grant funds for State Government expenditure. Budget estimates are put to the vote of parliamentary members. The business of the House is assisted by a number of legislative, financial and other committees. A State Government Secretariat, based in the State capital Lucknow, assists and advises the Council of Ministers. This Secretariat, headed by a Chief Secretary and a hierarchy of Principal and other Secretaries, functions as the executive authority of the State Government through its various departments. Below the Secretariat and Heads of Department levels, the Divisional Commissioner is responsible, at divisional level, for law and order, administration, revenue collection and other matters. Each division comprises a number of districts in which a district officer, either the District Magistrate or the Deputy Commissioner, is responsible for all administrative affairs in the district. As at the end of 1999, there were 83 districts in Uttar Pradesh aggregated into 19 administrative divisions. For administrative purposes, districts are further disaggregated down into tehsils, blocks and villages. 5.2 Macroeconomic overview 521 STATE DOMESTIC PRODUCT Uttar Pradesh, although the State supporting the highest share of the country's population, at approximately 16.4 percent, has consistently lagged behind national performance in key economic areas3. On the basis of per capita State Domestic Product (SDP) growth rates4, with occasional exceptions in the 1970s and the early 1990s, Uttar Pradesh has under-performed the all India series. The declining share of State Domestic Product compared to the National Domestic Product has been reflected in the State's Five Year Development Plan objectives of 3In 1987/88. the percentage of the populotion officially regarded as falling below the poverty line was 35 percent. (Ninth Plan Vol 1. page 33) moking Uttor Pradesh the fourth poorest State in the notion. Even the Ninth Plan refers to Uttar Pradesh as being ... roted as one of the most backward states ...

Table 5.7 shows the year on year change for the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors in the four- year period up to 1998. The structure of the labour force is also a reflection of Uttar Pradesh's relatively poor economic performance vis-3-vis other major States and the continued reliance on agriculture to support much of its population. The agricultural sector accounts for nearly three quarters of the work force and the share of workers in industry was nine percent according to the Census records. 5 In constant (1980/81) prices. the gap in per copito incomes had steadily risen from 22 percent in 1980/81 to 33 percent in 1994195.

In the public sector domain, this is in terms of both previous Five Year Plan outlays, the share of the State in the total outlay of the country has ranged between five and seven percent. Central government non-departmental undertakings also show the share of Uttar Pradesh in these investments ranged between five percent in 1980/81 and nine percent in 1992/93. The disproportionately low portion of investment funds attracted by the State has also been reflected in commercial bank advances and disbursements of private corporate sector loans.

The Fifth Five Year Plan (1974/75-1978/79) marked, for the first time since national planning began in',1951, an upward turning point in Uttar Pradesh's historical economic performance, which up to that time had been characterised by stagnant agricultural growth. Both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors respectively recorded annual growth of 5.7 percent and 9.4 percent and the economy as, a whole, 5.7 percent per year. This overall growth was matched in the Seventh Five Year Plan (1985/86-1989/90), underpinned by manufacturing (11 percent per annum) and the tertiary sector since agricultural growth slumped to 2.7 percent per annum. The Eighth Plan therefore envisaged a broad growth profile and continued trend with targeted annual overall growth of six percent and sectoral growth targets of over four percent per annum for agriculture and ten percent per annum for manufacturing. Actual economic performance however fell significantly below the desired targets with per capita growth being marginal. Overall growth was just 2.4 percent per annum over the four years to 1996 with agriculture recording annual growth of 1.5 percent and manufacturing 3.3 percent Average annual population growth between 1981 and 1991 was 2.3 percent For the country as a whole, average annual economic growth was in excess of six percent during the Eighth Five Year Plan period. The decline in agricultural output was partly due, to reduced fertiliser use and limited increase in irrigaton potential, as well as to adverse climatic conditions. Lower food grain productivity in Uttar Pradesh, by comparison with the other two principal food grain producing States in India - Punjab and Haryana - is largely due to the relative insufficiency in permanent irrigation facilities6. Manufacturing industry has been hindered by erratic power supplies and shortfalls in electricity generation and installed capacity to meet required demand. To some extent, the poor economic performance in the Eighth Plan period has been due to the relatively substantial shortfall in expenditure against the Plan's approved outlay, which was particularly marked in the agricultural, irrigation and energy sub-sectors7. These shortfalls in expenditure in tum reflected on the State's inability to mobilise resources from various funding sources. 52.3 NINTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (199697-200l,4) The increasing disparity in economic growth in Uttar Pradesh and the country as a whole during the Eighth Plan period meant that the per capita income gap widened even further by some eight-percentage points. In order to break this trend and taking into account the structure of the local economy within Uttar Pradesh, the State's Ninth Five Year Plan has ' In 1992/93. the gross irrigoted area as a percentoge of gross area sown was 62 percent in Uttar Pradesh as agoinst 95 percent in Punjab and 76 percent in Haryona. Average foodgrain productivity in 1992/93 was 1.8 tonnes (t) per hectare (ha) in Uttar Pradesh, 3.6 t per ha in Punjab and 2.6 t per ha in Haryono. (Ninth Five Year Plon 1997-200Z Vol 1, page 39). t In constant 1991/92 prices, the shortfolls were 27 percent for agriculture. 45 percent for irrigotion and 35 percent for energy.

India 52 Project Co-ordinaiing Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase II) DHV in associotion with Operotions Reseorch Group August 2003 been formulated in an attempt to arrest the historical State: Nation disparity in per capita income levels. Although the agricultural sector is the largest in the Uttar Pradesh economy, both in terms of its contribution to SDP (42 percent in 1996/97) and its share of the labour force q2 percent), the fact that there are a relatively large number of marginal land holdings which are uneconomic8 and that a large proportion of the agricultural labour force is estimated to be surplus to requirements and grossly underemployed9, means that the sector has limited scope for raising employment levels. Whilst increased agricultural development nevertheless remains as one of the Plan's main objectives, within which rural development is to be accelerated through greater diversification from low to higher value crops, particular emphasis has been placed on the need for more infrastructure development especially in the irrigation and power sub-sectors Irrigation and power are crucial to the continued growth and development of agriculture and manufacturing, in the former case to enable greater exploitation of gro und water resources from tube wells, and the latter for industry. In order not to increase the disparity in per capita income levels between Uttar Pradesh and the country as a whole, the targeted rate of economic growth for the State over the five-year period to 2002 has been projecte" co be the same as that targeted for India, namely seven percent per annum. The Ninth Five Year Plan has been prepared against a background in which a marked dip in economic performance occurred during the Eighth Plan period fohllowing relatively good trend growth of, on average, 5.2 percent per annum over a fifteen- year time frame between 1974/75 and 1989/9010. Although the Eighth Plan as a whole saw a sharp decline in average growth, to 2.9 percent per annum, the latter part of the Plan period was characterised by much stronger growth than in the first two years it is against this rising growth trend that the Ninth Plan targets have been justified. The overall annual growth target of seven percent is underpinned by continued high growth in the agricultural sector and especially in the manufacturing sector, as follows: Primary sector: Agriculture 5.1 percent per annum Secondary sector: Manufacturing 12.0 percent per annum Tertiary sector: Other 6.8 percent per annum All sectors: 7.0 percent per annum Whilst the Uttar Pradesh economy will continue to be heavily reliant on the agricultural sector in the medium term, the high growth target for the manufacturing sector has reflected the need for greater diversification in the economy, in order to fuel higher overall economic and per capita income growth as achieved in those States with strong industrial bases.

In order to achieve the required growth targets set out in the Ninth Plan, the proposed public sector funding outlay has focused on those key infrastructure sub-sectors - transport, energy and water supply - that are prerequisites for both continued expansion of the primary, agricultural sector and inward investment to the secondary, manufacturing sector.

Whilst Uttar Pradesh's required share of the total gross investment for India as a whole may only be eight- percJht12, its ability to attract private sector investment will depend on its competitiveness vis-h-vis other major States in the country and the successful implementation of economic reforms within the Statel3 14. In this context, the World Bank led initiative on various sectoral reforms is particularly significant The Bank has prepared an economic and fiscal study in which its multisectoral-lending programme is to be strengthened by an overall fiscal framework and governance reform programmel5. As part of the various objectives to achieve this support programme, this Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project feasibility study constitutes one of the elements falling under the theme of Restructuring Infrastructure. Besides roads, the power and irrigation sectors, by virtue of their crucial role in generating economic growth, are the other two key focus areas of the Bank. Notwithstanding the efforts being directed by the World Bank and other international aid agencies towards reducing poverty in Uttar Pradesh, one of the main risk areas lies in the limited capacity of the State to absorb the proposed investmnent and policy reforms. It is in " Rs 186.000 Crore in 1996/97 prices. (Ninth Five Year Plon 1997-2002.

Lucknow. India 56 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 this context that caution needs to be applied in determining future growth rates in the economy, particularly as much of the Ninth Plan growth targets are dependent on investment from the private sector. The immediate short-term predictions for the national economy are for growth in C4oss Domestic Product of six percent, slightly down on the 6.8 percent achieved in 1998/99. The uptake of excess industrial capacity in the domestic economy allied with recovery in East Asian countries and an expansion in the v Oume of world trade have created an environment more favourable to robust growth in the short to medium term'6. Generating private sector investment in the secondary sector, whether in agro-industry or in manufacturing directly, requires an enabling investor conducive enviromnent to be in place particularly in terms of infrastructure provision in utilities and transport, and in terms of the free movement of,capital inflows and outflows17. Whilst this may be a necessary condition for attracting private sector funding, difficulties may still arise in project implementation and operation, which lie outside the control of the State Government and the State Development Corporations. This will be the case where private sector investors experience financial problems and cash flow difficulties during or after project set up. It should be bome in mind that, notwithstanding potential changes in Uttar Pradesh's investor climate in respect of political and/or economic instability, the projected growth rates put forward in the Ninth Five Year Plan are susceptible to these external influences. They should be seen nerefore as optimum growth targets assuming favourable and stable investment conditions, both within Uttar Pradesh itself and externally in the investing company environments. For the short to medium term, Table 5.11 sets out the different assumptions that have been made for three alternative growth scenarios. Table 5.11 Uttar Pradesh.

Source: Consultants' estimates Whilst primary and tertiary sector activities are largely evenly distributed throughout Uttar Pradesh, the great variation in growth rate estimated for the secondary sector reflects the expected impact of the industrial development corridor and growth area initiatives that have been identified in the State's industrial policy. Because of the inherent unpredictability in medium to longer term forecasting, forecasts of future growth in the economy are usually limited to the very short term, covering the next twelve to eighteen month period. Acknowledging these limitations in the forecasting process, estimates of longer-term future growth rates have been made wiih reference to historical trends in State Domestic Product (SDP). The data presented earlier in Table 5.5 shows that for the eighteen-year period between 1980 and 1998, the Uttar Pradesh economy grew on average at 4 percent per annum. This overall growth masked higher economic output in the 1980s, at 4.6 percent per annum, and a slowdown in growth in the 1990s, at 2.8 percent per annum. The last five-year period 1993-1998 however saw growth beginning to recover to the earlier higher levels, at 3.9 percent per annum. For the second half of the twenty-year feasibility study evaluation period, 2011-2020, a single, conservative estimate of economic growth, of four percent per annum, has been assumed. 5.4 Census and socio-economic Survey Analysis Successful implementation of Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) depends on appropriate and accurate census and socio-economic survey of Project Affected Persons (PAPs). Without these, there can be no measurement of precise impacts on the affected persons and therefore it becomes difficult to frame appropriate entitlement policies. Also, in the absence of surveys Govemment of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 58 Project Co-ordinoling Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase ll) DHV in association with Operotions Reseorch Group August 2003 it is difficult to measure the achievement or non-achievement of the bask objective of the RAP. Two kinds of surveys were taken up in course of the study: (1) Census verification survey; (2) Census socio-econornic survey. 5.5 Objectives of the Census and Socio-economic Surveys £5.1 THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CENSUS VERIICATION SURVEY WERE * To collect information regarding likely project impacts in order to facilitate designs of various components of RAP * To set up a cut off date so as to monitor the influx of new people * To desegregate the properties by type and identification of possible categories of entitlement. 5.52 THE OBJEC11VES OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY WERE: * To attach actual values to key indicators of the PAPs social and economic status and their vulnerability to socio-economic change due to the project. * To assess use/dependence on common property resource * To provide a benchmark for anyfurther information needed to monitor and evaluate EPs in the future; and * To provide further inputs in preparation of RAP People who are not surveyed during the census will not be considered as PAP, as, the date on which the census survey was carried out will act as a cut off date. The cut off date will be used to establish whether a person located in the corridor qualifies as a PAP during the implementation of the various phases of the project However, a person not enumerated during the census, but able to prove their stay in the project corridor, during the census survey will be considered for entitlement.

The number of commurnty properties getting affected is highest in route no.1OA. Analysis of Census and Baseline socio-economic Data A detailed socio-economic survey was conducted in conjunction with the census of the project- affected persons (PAPs) to profile the impacted project area and provide a baseline against which mitigation measures and support will be measured. For this purpose, comprehensive information related to people's assets, income, socio-cultural and demographic indicators, religious structures, and other sources of support such as common property resources were collected. The analysis has covered the needs and resources of different groups and individuals, including intra-household analysis and gender analysis. Table 5.16 below gives the distribution of affected persons and families within corridor of impact. The analysis is based on the cut off date for entitlement assigned in the project (the cut off date for the non title holder is the start date of census and for title holders it is the date of legal notification under section 4(1) of-LA Act 1894). Despite the care taken to enumerate the number of PAPs as accurate as possible, there might have been a margin of error in the census.

As the table above shows, over half of the PAPs are male. The sex ratio on an average was found to be 859 females against 10DO males. As compared to state figure of 898, sex ratio found in the project routes is quite low. (Refer table 5.18). Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow. India 66 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Family Type The institution of joint family, which has been a characteristic feature of Hindu society from ancient times, is breaking down owing to various economic and social factors. Situation is somewhat similar in the project area where (Table 5.18) nuclear families were more dominating than any other family system. Religious Groups Data on religious groups were collected in order to identify religious minorities among the PAPs. As the table (5.18) above shows, only two faiths are professed in the study area viz., Hinduism and IslamL However, over four fifth of the PAPs following Hinduism makes it a dominating religion. Only two road sections where Islam dominated over Hinduism are route 11 (Moradabad - Bazpur) and Gaurabadshahpur bypass (route 18). Social Stratification Hindus in the project area as elsewhere, is based on the traditional four-fold caste system of Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishyas and Shudras. The first three categories belongs to higher caste where as the last category belongs to scheduled population. In order to identify vulnerable groups, it is important to record the social group affiliation of the PAP. The suryey results (table 5.18) show that, the caste configuration across all the corridors shows that Other Backward Castes (OBC) is the dominating force followed by upper caste. As is true for the state, presence of tribes is almost negligible in the project area. Marital Status To identify affected families as per the R&R policy of UP State Roads Project, it is imperative to record marital status of PAPs, and more specifictlly of women PAPs. According to survey results, number of umnarried PAPs is higher than married ones. Data for divorced, separated, widow and deserted was specifically analysed as they all form separate family as per R&R policy and are eligible for R&R assistance. Number of widows was found to be quite high in route 4B, Ahiraula and Budhanpur bypasses. Distribution of PAPs by Age Group Classification As per R&R policy, all males above the age of 18 years, irrespective of marital status will be considered as separate family and all women PAPs, above the age of 18 but unmarried will be considered as separate family. Age group classification also helps in assessing dependent and economicaRly independent population. In light of the above, PAPs were distributed in 7 age group categories as shown in Table 5.18. As the table shows, on an average over one third of the total PAPs in all the routes fall under the age category of below 14 years (Children). This shows large family size of the PAPs. Percentage of old and retired PAPs (60 or more than 60 years) is less than 8% across all the routes. This clearly indicates that average life span of the PAPs in the study area is quite low. Since the definition of child labour restricts the age of child labour at 14 years, all those above the age of 14 and below the age of 60 has been considered under the category of "economically independent group" or "worker's group". As the table above shows, nearly three fifth of the total PAPs are under this category. Literacy Level Literacy level is a quantifiable indicator to assess the development status of any area/region. Higher the literacy rate, more developed the area would be. Secondly, in displacement induced development project, data on literacy level of PAPs helps in formulating altemative Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 67 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roods Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 income restoration schemes. Keeping this in mind, literacy level of PAPs was recorded during the Census Survey. For recording literacy LAvel, completed years of education have been taken. For e.g., respondent who failed to clear 10Uh standard has been considered as middle literate. Similarly respondent who failed to clear 12th standard has been considered as secondary literate. However, those who have attended school but failed to clear 5"h standard, still have been considered as primary. As the table 5.18 shows, little over one fifth of the total PAPs are illiterate which. is much lower than state average of 43% and nationhl average of 38%. Even among the literate PAPs, nearly one fifth have attained some level of literacy through non-formal education or just attended school without attaining education even upto primary level. Such PAPs can only put their signature or can read simple lines in local language. Even among the formally educated PAPs, one fifth has dropped out for some or the other reason after reaching 8th standard. RESOURCE BASE OF THE AFFECTED FAMILIES This section of the report deals with the economic status of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs). The information presented below has been collected through both census as well as .sample socio-economic survey. The economic indicators considered during the survey were usual activity, occupational pattern, average household income and expenditure, number of families below poverty line, asset holdings, etc. Table 5.18 Resource Base of the PAFs l Routes (Phase II) Resource Base | 3 | 4B | 6 | 7B 10A | 11 | 16 Enlistment No.ofHHsholdingrationcard 44 301 7)4 284 9 0 25 329 No. of HHs holding voter's list 33 86 312 102i 251 376 ouseholds with legal document 8' 16 61 56 1 41 acilities o. of rkEHs with electrification 1 6 2 2A No. of shops with electrificationr 1 C s51 4 21| 8 5 35 No. of H-Hs with tap connection 4f 3 N.of shops with tap connection 1' UulActivity Worker ~~~~ ~~~~~9'. 59 184 47 0; 50q 521 Nn-worker 1 44 72C 64 412 Household work 8' 48 133 42 17 41 46 Student 44 491 132 481 214 57 5 Old / Retired 14 8 27 32 10 7( 64 Non school going age 9t 361 118 33 1486 431 364 khool going age child 21 8 29 6 19( 77 3 Handicapped 11 2 _ 4 _ Others -II I TotaI 36 216! 633( 184 787A 21 2067 ccupation Agriculture T 1Co 79| 241 21 285 36 iculture Labour 0 | 12q I 14 N I Govemment of Uttar Pradesh.

Enlistment It is important to record the data on enlistment, as it confirms the period of stay of a PAP. As the table above shows, percentage of PAPs holding ration card varies from 50 percent to Govemment of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow. India 70 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Prodesh Stale Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase ll) DHV in associotion with Operotions Reseorch Group August 2003 76 percent across all the routes. Similarly percentage of PAPs appearing on voter's list varies from 60 percent to 80 percent across all the routes.. Development Factors Among the development factors, two indicators were considered, viz., electrification and tap connection. As the survey results shows, less than five percent of the households have electricity and tap water connection in their residential and commercial properties. Usual Activity It is important to record usual activity so as to assess whether PAP is gainfully employed or not. The activity the PAP is engaged in.helps in formulating alternative income generation schemes. Accordingly activity where a person spends 8 or more than 8 hours in a day has been considered as usual activity for the respondent. Such activities may be directly economically gainful or may not bee Accordingly, PAPs have been classified into 8 categories as defined in Census of India. As the Table 5.18 above shows, over one fourth of the total PAPs are engaged in some or the other kind of economically gainful activity and hence are in the category of workers. In rural areas, generally some kind of economically-gainful activities are always available either in cultivation or non-agriculture labour activities run under various government ,uverty alleviation schemes. Still a small percenjge of PAPs are reportedly non-workers or unemployed. Hence, such section of PAPs will require special attention during implementation phase of RAP. Over one fifth of the total PAPs reportedly are engaged in household chores and such PAPs are primarily women. Details about the household activities carried out by women PAPs are presented in chapter eleven on vulnerable groups. Occupational Pattern Occupational pattern of the PAPs are recorded to assess their skill so that they can be imparted training in the same trade for alternative income generating scheme. Secondly, occupational pattern helps in identifying dominating economic activity in the area. As the survey results shows, trade and business (primarily petty shops) is the most common occupation found among the PAPs settled along the road. Nearly 60 percent of the PAPs are engaged in Trade and Business. This stands true for any state or national highway. However, on bypasses agriculture is the most followed occupation. These bypasses will be completely new alignment passing through villages situated away from the road, where like any other rural area agriculture remains the main occupation. Although small but still a significant percentage of PAPs are also government servants. Average Annual HH Income and Expenditure Annual income helps in identifying families below poverty line. During the survey income of a household through all possible sources was recorded. While calculating the average income, certain households having income in lakhs were omitted from the data base as such PAPs, though are having a small property on the project roads, they stay in the cities and runs other business. Accordingly, the average annual household income, as table 5.19 above indicates, varies from approximately Rs 16,700 to Rs 43,000. The various sources asked during the survey for calculating household income includes agriculture; allied agriculture activities; forestry; agriculture labour; non-agriculture labour; household industries; services; trade and business; profession; etc. Income from these sources was added up and weighted average was taken to arrive at average annual income figure. The average'annual expenditure is little less than the income and this is one reason why PAPs have some kind of saving. The various heads of expenditure asked during the survey included food; fuel; clothing; health; education; communication; social functions; etc. Like Govemment of Uttar Prodesh. Public Works Deportment, Lucknow. India 71 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group Augusf 2003 income, in calculating average expenditure per family, expenses made against each head was added up and weighted average was taken up to arrive at average annual expenditure. PAPs Below Poverty Line Poverty line for the purpose of the project has been considered at annual income of Rs 24,000 per family. The survey result shows that percentage of BPL families varies from 5% to 45%. If all the project corridors are considered, little less than two fifth of the total families are below poverty line (refer table 5.19). Construction Typology of the Structures Nearly 70 percent of the structures getting affected are temporary in nature as per the construction typology. Household Asset Structure of PAPs Any development project brings about a change in the life style and the standard of living of the PAPs. Apart from immovable properties such as land and house, it also has an impact on movable properties. Any improvement in the economic conditions of the families is usually reflected in acquisition of these assets and similarly any adverse economic situation results in selling of these assets. The asset strb*ture is an indicator of the economic strength of a particular family and its capacity to sustain the impact The assets recorded during the sample socio-eonomic survey includes; livesltck, household furniture, utensils, durables, etc. Table 5.19 Household Asset Structure (Average Unit holding per Family) Category wise HH assets 3 4B 6 7B 10A 11 16 Average Land holding (in acres) 1.24 1.1 3.78 0.69 1.63 2.81 1.62 Average financial asset (savings) 4682.23 3688.84 9714.3; 5240A 6098.4 6935.52 2692.76 Average HH debt 981.91 1283.3 1510.67 341.88 934.5' 4683.8' 254.48 Average no. of trees per HH 1.59 4.33 2.61 0.81 1.5' 5.00 0.& Fruit 0.1 3.81 1.2' 0.5 1. 1.5 0.29 Fodder C 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.83 Fuel wood 0.41 0.0I 0.31 0.U 0. 0.41 0.1 Timber 1.4 0.4O 1.3: 0.2f 0.4 3.5 0.3 Durable AssetsI IV/Tape/Radio 0.54 0.71 1.1 0 1.0 1.17 0.62 Bicycle/Motorcycle 0.56 6.5_ 2.6f o gr 2.4- 1. 1.3 lewellery/watch 2.64 51_.9 18.44 5.8 9. 36.02 21.8 Furniture 1.71 17S 7.8 10.1 18. 5.81 14.8 Utensils 17.21 16.6 95. 23.5 28.5 35.22 22.8 Bullock cart 0.06 0.0 4.7 0.01 3.9 0.01 0.

Trees The table above clearly indicates that on an average a family owns 0.64 to 5 trees in the project area. Average fruit bearing tree ownership varies from 0.15 to 4. Situation is more or less similar for other trees. Irrigation Units Irrigation scenario is slightly better in route 6 as compared to other routes as on an average a family in route 18 owns 1.85 Irrigation wells, where as in other routes ownership of any kind of irrigation unit is less than one. Other Durable Assets Utensils and furniture are the most common household items used by every family across all the project corridors. This is mainly because of two reasons viz., apart from being most important items, are also the cheapest of all other durable assets used by a family. Among the expensive assets, number of jewellery and watches were found more than motorcycles, televisions, tape recorder and radios. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment.

Ownership of tractor and thrasher is also less than one per family in the project corridors. Livestock Ownership The average number of cattle heads owned by a family varies from 0 to 3.18 in the project corridors. Similarly average number of poultry birds owned by a family varies from 0 to 12. Ownership of goats/sheep/pigs.is almost negligible in the project corridors. 5.5A NEED FOR DATA UPDATE AND MECHANISM TO CONDUCT UPDATE Since the census and socio-conomic survey was conducted during April 2001 to November 2001 and RAP implementation usually starts at least one year after the RAP preparation, which implies that actual physical relocation of PAPs will be delayed by a year. Therefore, it is suggested that partnering NGOs entrusted with the responsibility of RAP implementation along with PWD, should conduct a Core Ropid Appraisal. R&R Coordinator from PWD will superntse the entire exercise and this document would serve as revised baseline information for the PAPs finally getting affected by the project. However, for non-title holders the day of census survey (conducted during the preparation stage of the project) will remain as cut-off date. The mechanism to conduct update is given below: Table 5.20 Core Rapid Appraisal Mechanism SN Technique Method Group Size Staff Time N o. _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ Required _ _ _ _ _ _ Key Informant Interview selected local 10-25 per Interviewer Selection plus 1 interview with special knowledge group observer & 3 hours or experience moderator interview per ____________ ____________ nvillage Focus group Specific topic discussed 8-12 per Interviewer 2 hours per 2 in open-ended group group observer & group per sessions moderator village Community Open public meeting.

Through public participation, stakeholders and key social issues were identified and strategy was formulated. It included socio-cultural analysis and design of social strategy, institutional analysis and specifically addressed the issue of how poor and vulnerable groups may benefit from the project. Participation is a process, through which stakeholder influence and share control over development initiatives and the decisions and the resources, which affects them. The effectiveness of R&R programme is directly related to the degree of continuing involvement of those affected by the project. Comprehensive planning is required to assure that local government, NGOs, host population and project staff interacts regularly, frequently and purposefully throughout all stages of the.project. Participation of persons directly affected by projects is a primary requirement in development of R&R, if its programmes are to be suited to the needs of the resettled population. Their involvement vastly increases the probability of their successful resettlement ahd rehabilitation. 6.2 Consultation and Participation Mechanisms Experience indicates that involuntary Flow Chart 1 Levels of Consultation resettlement generally gives rise to severe problems for the affected population. These STAKEHOLDER problems may be reduced if, as part of a WORKSHOP. STATE LEVEL resettlement program, people are properly CONSULTATION informed and consulted about the project, their situation and preferences, and allowed . . - to make meaningful choices. This serves to _ reduce the insecurity and opposition to the _ project which otherwise are likely to occur. The project will therefore ensure that the affected population and other stakeholders DISSEMINATION are informed, consulted, and allowed to DISTRICT LEVEL participate actively in the development WORKSHOPS process. This will be done throughout the project, both during preparation, implementation, and monitoring of project results and impacts. During implementation and monitoring PARTICIPA stage, information will be disseminated to LOCAL LEVEL project affected persons and other key CONSULTATONS stakeholders in appropriate ways. This information will be prepared in Hindi and local languages as required, describing the main project features including the entitlement framework. Consultation will be carried out in ways appropriate for cultural, gender-based, and other differences among the stakeholders. Where groups or individuals have different Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment.

The Resettlement Action Plan provides detailed information regarding the consultation process. It describes information disclosure at preparation stage. The consultation process established during preparation stage of the project uses different types of consultation such as in-depth interviews with key informants, focus group discussions, seminars and meetings. The consultation program included, the following: * Heads of households likely to be impacted; * Household members; * Clusters of PAPs; * Villagers; * Village panchayat * Local voluntary organisations; and Community based organisation or Non Goverrnrtental Organisation; * Government Agencies and Departments; and * Major project stakeholders, such as women, tribal and ethnic communities, road-user groups, health professionals, and others. * Distribution of project information sheet (enclosed as annex) As part of the consultation process, women are given the opportunity to voice their views without the presence of men. As part of the preparation for the project, state level workshop was conducted with participation from key stakeholders including local NGOs, academic institutions, goverrnment officials, and others. The purpose of the stakeholder workshop was to present and discuss the framework and approach to social impacts and resettlement, and to achieve agreement about implementation mechanisms and coordination among different groups and agencies. The main objectives of the consultation program were to minimise negative impact in the project corridors and to make people aware of the road rehabilitation project. During the process efforts were made to ascertain the views and preferences of the people. The airns of community consultation were: * To understand views of the people affected w.r.t to the impacts of the road * To identify and assess all major economic and sociological characteristics of the village to enable effective planning and implementation and, * To resolve the issues relating to affect on community property. 6.3 The process Consultation process was carried out at three different levels, viz., * State * District, and * Local or Village 6.3.1 STATE LEVEL CONSULTATION An essential feature of the assessment process is consultation with local experts and stakeholders particularly those who will be most directly affected. Considering this a state Govemment of Uttor Prodesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow, India 76 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase Ill DHV in association with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 level workshop was held in Lucknow on l1th of February 2002. The participants included social and environmental scientists from research sector, non-government organisations, PWD representatives and PAPs from various project routes. The Workshop was divided into three sessions. Session I was generic introduction of the project, session 11 was presentation of social and environmental issues and session Ill was open discussion on social and enviromnental issues, where findings of the group discussions were summarised. The purpose of the workshop was to promote public awareness and understanding of proposed project actions and to notify stakeholders and others of opportunities to participate in consultations and the assessment process. Planning for the workshop included contacts with numerous social and environmental NGOs and other project stakeholders to encourage participation. In order to make PAPs and NGOs to participate, open invitation was given through newspapers (one in Hindi local and one in English) for two consecutive days. Care was taken to ensure that newspaper selected have the widest circulation in Uttar Pradesh. Nearly 150 people attended the state level workshop. Newspaper clipping for invitation is annexed. At the State Level, consultation process also included consultation with representatives of key project stakeholders and in-depth discussion with PWD / PWD representatives, agencies concerned with highway safety and health conditions and NGOs working on highway associated diseases. Issues Discussed in State Level Workshop The issues discussed in the workshop is summarised below: )P The main emphasis was that compensation should be on the basis ofiland for land" and "house for house". Compensation for other immovable assets should be paid timely and on replacement value. The location and type of land is important and should not be allotted in fragments. > Encroachment also figured as an important issue. Several PWD representatives questioned the sustainability of encroachment free roadway. They also feared that compensation/assistance paid to squatters and encroachers would set a precedent and that would lead to further encroachment on public ROW on other state and national highways. > Representative of "Kannaudia Seva Sansthan", Mirzapur suggested that Self Help Groups (SHGs) be formed for every 5to 6 kms to check encroachment on public ROW. Another NGO representative suggested involvement of gram panchayat in restricting encroachment. > Physical relocation and resettlement was discussed in length. Participants were of the view that displacement should be avoided and in case it is unavoidable, social fabric of the persons relocated should be maintained by moving them along with their peer groups. Efforts should be made to prevent loss of access to livelihood and PAPs need to be fully involved in relocation planning and process right from the project inception stage. The time factor in any resettlement is crucial. Participants expressed their concern about the failure of various relocation projects and said that resettlement should precede demolishment of structures. > Every participant expressed concern about the safety of people staying along the highways and especially of children, women and cattle. Some NGO representatives suggested that IEC materials be put up on the roads in local language. Awareness about Government of Uttor Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow.

Hence TOR for NGO should contain this aspect as well. Representative of "Kannaudia Seva Sansthan", Mirzapur suggested that project should provide retrieval vehicles, ambulances, etc. Rescue points should be made at a reasonable interval equipped with para-medical staff. > Project Director informed the gathering that a pilot project on road safety will be shortly implemented in Lucknow where all police stations will be linked through local/wide area network and every police station and few selected NGOs will be provided with ambulances by transport commissioner. Some thing on the similar lines can be planned for the project also. He also informed the gathering that a study on road safety will be carried out by a Swedish firm specifically for the project > Representatives from NGO, currently involved in RAP implementation for Third National Highways Project of National Highways Authority of India said that number of PAPs always goes up once RAP implementation starts. He was of the view that period between preparation and implementation of RAP should be minimised. Secondly, NGO contracted for implementation of RAP should carry out a verification survey before compensation is paid to the affected persons. > Care should be taken in shifting of sacred trees, shrines and other religious or community structures in consultation with the l6cal people. One of the NGO representative said that relocation of temples should be in pre-construction stage. > People should be involved even in mnaintenance of roads. Project Director informed that PWD is already thinking on those lines. He further informed the gatheing that Self Help Groups (SHG) will be formed in the villages along the roads and through village panchayat roads will be maintained. Initially, a pilot project, demonstrating the road maintenance process will be carried out by a private contractor and after that SHGs will take over. Project Director further said that same SHGs would help in restricting encroachment and squatting. > Only local NGOs be contracted for RAP implementation and should also be trained for R&R. Project Director informed NGO representatives that an advertisement was published in local newspaper in all the concerned districts for NGOs to participate in RAP implementation (advertisement annexed). He also informed that training for R&R will be carried out and already two consultancy firms have been approached for training PWD staff on R&R. > PAPs should be informed about both negative and positive impacts of the project and their views should be considered. Participants were of the view that unless PAPs are taken into confidence, sense of ownership towards the road will not develop among them and no body wil I come forward to maintain the roads. > Participants expressed concem about the loss of trees due to widening of road. Project Director informed the gathering that PWD is planning for planting three rows of tree and the last row would be owned by the villagers who in turn will guard the first two rows thus also ensuring the safety and enhancing the survival rate of the trees. Participation from forest department suggested that local flora should be planted and assured to extend technical help to PWD. Forest department officials expressed their concern over the encroachment of reserve strip for plantation and suggested that a clause should be made indicating that up to a certain distance no habitation will be allowed. They also feared that biotic pressure on forest land would increase due to construction camp. Project Director informed the gathering that no camp will be allowed within the radius of 7km from the forest land. Government of Uttor Prodesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow.

Quite a few participants were of the view that involvement of comnunity creates unnecessary problem in the project and hence project gets delayed: PWD officials primarily represented this group. However, another large group strongly supported participation of local community in the project. PCC consultants informed the gathering that public consultations are ongoing process and will continue even during the construction ph.se through NGOs. Project Director requested PWD officials to look into positive aspect of community participation and also gave example of Moradabad bypass where land acquisition could not take place because of lack of community mobilisation. > PCC consultants while presenting the social and environment findings emphasised on coordination between PWD, revenue and other line departments to ensure proper implementation of RAP. Representatives of various line departments agreed upon the fact that coordination is essential for the provision and maintenance of infrastructure to be created along the road and to provide respective services in rural areas. Summary of State Level Consultations has been given in table 6.3. 6.32 DISTRICT LEVEL CONSULTATIONS District Level consultations were conducted to solicit public and PAP inputs. These consultations were intended to prepare for district committees that will be established to support RAP implementation. Participants in District level consultations included District Magistrate, representatives of district level officials of line departments, NGOs, and PAP representatives apart from Project Director and PCC consultants. Notice was published in at least two local newspapers on the day of consultation and one day before the consultation was held, for general public to participate. The objectives of district level consultations were: * To expand awareness of the project among the public, local government, peoples' representatives and non- govermnent organisations in areas impacted by phase I roads. * To identify social and environmental sensitivities and other concerns in affected districts that should be considered during projec t design and planning. * To review potential impacts of the project to date; measure taken to avoid, identified in social and envirornmental assessments reduce or mitigate adverse impacts and minimise displacement, and provisions of project's RAP * To explain principles and procedures proposed for land acquisition, resettlement and relocation; and the compensation and assistance that will be provided to project affected persons, households and groups who may lose land or assets or su'ier other losses. * To introduce house-to-house surveys, asset verification, Videography, and village level consultations along project roads. * Assure that local-level inputs are considered in project preparation.

General consensus was on replacement value for any immovable property acquired. Participants also suggested that compensation be paid in one single instalment so that the amount can be used in. a fruitful manner. Project Director, however, informed in every meeting that though compensation will be paid in adequate number of instalments and in cash, R&R assistance would be paid through cheque. The amount will be directly deposited in the bank account. > Participants also agreed that in case of displacement, resettlement colonies along with al basic amenities should be constructed before physical possession of properties of PAPs. Line department representatives assured all kind of support in providing basic amenities in resettlement colonies. > On being informed that squatters wiDl receive assistance under the project, apprehensions were expressed by participants from PWD in other road projects. They feared that this step would lead to further encroachment and squatting along the project roads as well as roads not covered under the project > Role of NGOs and participation was raised in every district. Every NGO representative present in the meeting expressed willingness to participate in RAP implementation. NGOs were of the view that three years period for implementation of RAP is too short especially for implementation of Income Restoration Schemes. > District Magistrates and Chief Development Officers assured that local support would be provided during the implementation of the RAP. > District Magistrate of Badaun requested for a bypass, which was agreed upon by Project Director. Similarly, DM of Balia requested to extend the project road till the beginning of flyover in the city. Project Director however, expressed his inability to do so. Summary of District level Consultation has been given in table 6.2. &33 LOCAL LEVEL CONSULTATIONS PCC carried out local level consultations for phase II roads. Efforts were made to cover all those villages having major problems viz., relocation of religious structures or big market or residential area getting affected, etc. Both small and big habitations were covered in order to get representation of al the segments of affected population. More than one-group discussions were held in every village. The size of group was restricted to 10 to 15 so that every body gets the chance to express their views on the project. Separate group meetings were held for women. The objectives of local level consultations were to inform the affected persons about the project, R&R policy, to incorporate their views in the RAP/design and mitigation measures as suggested by them. Methodology Consultation team included one Socio-Economic Analyst specialised in qualitative data collection, two women community organisers, one investigator and one moderator. Data was collected through rural appraisal techniques viz., social and resource mapping and group discussions. Group discussions were carried out based on guidelines duly approved by PWD and the World Bank. Government of Uttor Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow.

Bypasses were suggested in six locations viz., Gaura Badshahpur; Bangarrnau, Budhanpur, Ahiraula, Khairabad and BaOia. Considering their demand, bypasses have been provided in all the location except for Ballia as the project road ends well before the city starts. Existing bypass at Khairabad will be widened and strengthened, thus avoiding fresh land acquisition. During the discussion people also marked the tentative location of bypass on the social and resource map of the vilage. * Local population, though reluctant agreed for relocation of temples and other religious properties. It was agreed upon that site and process of relocation would be finalised by the local population. They were however; assured that al efforts will be made to avoid relocation of religious properties. * PAPs were of the view that community should be consulted before the drawings of the roads are finalised. They were informed that team would come back to the village to disseminate information regarding finalisation of road design. * Central widening came up as a major suggestion from the local population. Majority agreed that given the road condition, widening and strengthening is necessary. * Compensation was the major issue in every discussion. Their fear of low compensation was allayed on being informed that one to one negotiation is being proposed in the project. Cash compensation is more preferred by the PAPs. * Safety was major concern among the local population. Regarding safety issues, rumble strips or speed breakers was demanded at every major habitation and especially before a school or hospital. * As regard to employment in the project, permanent job in PWD or with the contractor was preferred over temporary job during the project implementation. Majority of PAPs along the road are engaged in trade & business, but local population engaged as non- agriculture or agriculture labour agreed to work as labour with the contractor. While finalising the design, views of the PAPs and outcome of state and district level workshop were considered which helped in reducing the number of PAPs.

Consultations during RAP implementation will involve agreements on compensation and assistance options and entitlements with PAPs and completion of a PAP identity card indicating the accepted entitlement package (a model identity card is enclosed as annex). The other round of consultations wil occur when compensation and assistance are provided and actual resettlement begins. * Plan for Continued Participation The following set of activities is required for effective implementation of RAP. This will also help in timely execution of RAP. * Information Disclosure For the benefit of the community in general and PAPs in particular.

Of the total HIV infected people around 12-18 million would have developed AIDS. According to the report of Monitoring the AIDS Pandemic (MAP) on' The Status and Trends of the HIV/AIDS/STD Epidemics in Asia and the Pacific' dated October 21-23, 1997, India is reported to be have had a sharp increase in the estimated HIV infections over the years. The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) figures, on the status of HIV infections and AIDS cases in India as on August 31, 1998, place the country's sero- positive rate at 23.64 per thousand; the trend is apparently upward. However, distribution of the incidences of infection is uneven among different parts of the country. Throughout the World, the growth of transport system has been, and continuous to be, a key element in economic development In both developed and underdeveloped countries, increase in-gross national product (GNP) is accompanied by greater investment in both vehicle and transport infrastructure. In the developing world, current trends in population, industrialisation, and urbanisation are putting heavy pressure on the transport networks in general [WHO, 19841. This in fact has resulted in the unlimited growth of new transport companies and, subsequently, vehicles and crewmembers all over the country. WHO document indicate the existence of two to five million crewmembers of inter-city trucks in India. Besides being away from home for most part of the year (almost 11 months), these drivers (75 to 90%) have a high rate of sexual promiscuity with female commercial sex workers and other sex friends en-route their travel or at places where they stop for rest [WHO, 19941. High mobility and frequent multi-partner sexual behaviour make these men a high-risk group for contracting STD/HIV infection. Besides their own personal risk, the highly mobile occupation leads to the transmission of infections from cities of high prevalence and also between cites and rural areas. Due to kind of nomadic lifestyle, they are often not able to have access to modem health care facility. They go to non-registered practitioners who often give false promises of treatment and care. Thus, there is a need to address the spread of highway diseases and take necessary action in controlling, the spread of such diseases involving the truckers and the CSWs in a strategic action oriented programme. 7.2 The Cause of the Spread of Highway Related Diseases Vehicles carrying people or goods over long distance are the frequent users of highways (both national and state). It has been found that the drivers and helpers of such long distance vehicles like truck often spend many days at a stretch, outside their homes and away from their family members The factors of financial insecurity, tensions at work, being away from home for long duration give rise to irregular habits among the truck drivers and their assistants. Taking to alcohol and commercial sex is one the means of entertainment and releasing tension. For these solitary mobile men it is difficult to refrain from physical urges for over longer periods. These drivers and helpers or assistants take halts at different resting-places designated/naturally developed along the corridors. Thus the truckers and their assistants are found to have sex with many women on their way. Married mobile men often chose CSWs for satisfying their sexual urge of oral and anal sex that they do not practice at home with their wives. Thus sexual diseases are often found to spread rapidly along the road and Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow.

On the other hand, tuberculosis (TB) and other like diseases are also found to spread through physical contacts along with STD and AIDS. Seeing the gravity of the spread of all these diseases proper measures are required to be taken to create awareness about their severity and to control such spread of diseases. 7.3 Other Related Studies A number of research studies have been undertaken globally to determine the prevalence and epidemiology of HIV infection and AIDS. Many studies, conducted in various countries in Africa, have quite unambiguously identified the important role played by truck drivers and itinerant roadside sex workers in the transmission of HIV infection to different parts of a country [Orubuloye, et. al, 19921. Interventions to encourage the use of condoms among truck drivers and roadside sex workers have been successful in Tanzania, along the Trans- African Tanduma Highway (from 51% users to 91% users in less than one year) and in community based projects in Ciudad Juarez in Mexico and through media campaign in Philippines [WHO Press Release, Geneva, 1992]. Studies in India too have provided sufficient empirical data to confirm the direct linkage of sexual behaviour patterns among truck drivers in not only contacting HIV infections by themselves, but also transmitting it to other sex workers among various highways around the country [Singh Y.N, et. al, 1993]. Some reports also talk about homosexual relations practised by these drivers with their assistants [WHO, 1994]. The crewmembers, their spouses and the female commercial sex workers serving these men on the route and also in the cities constitute a sexually active population of about 5-12 million [WHO, 1994]. The Indian Institute of Health Manigement Research (1CHMR), Jaipur in 1994 conducted a study with WHO and NACO to initiate a "Planning Project on Country wide AIDS/STD Prevention among Inter city Truck Drivers in India'. The objective of the project was to prepare a medium term plan for AIDS/STD prevention among truckers through a comprehensive intervention project. It was felt during the course of the study that, an assessment of major truck driver's halt points along all national highways in India would be necessary. Therefore in 1995, ICHMR conducted "All India Rapid Survey on Truck Driver's Halt Point". This study identified 561-truck driver's halt points on the national highway with an average concentration of minimum %00 trucks. In Uttar Pradesa, three districts viz., Kanpur, Agra and Varanasi have a highly dense traffic. The study also revealed that apart from other reasons in 105 halt points, truckers stop for contacting commercial sex workers. Department for International Development (DFID) also carried out study entitled "Healthy Highway Project" earlier known as "Truckers Project) which aimed at slowing down the spread of HV by reducing the rate of STD infection and associate risk behaviours among the inter-city truck drivers. The study found out that, by virtue of working in the unorganised sector truckers are deprived of permanent employment, and other related benefits. They also lack emotional support for being away from home for longer periods. As a result of life full of tensions, lack of emotional support and basic human facilities, the truckers take to alcohol and unsafe sex. Moreover, truckers are not aware of hazards of STD/HIV infections and therefore do not get proper medical facilities. They generally visit non-registered medical practitioners who mislead them with myths and misconceptions related to sexuality and in the process prolong the medication period. The key lessons learnt from the project, which can help address the issues of highway diseases in a much systematic way are: (a) Importance of need assessment; Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 160 Project Co-ordinating Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettemetil Action Pl:n (Phase 11 DHV in asociation wih Op,rattions Research Group August 2003 (b) Inclusion of commercial sex workers, wherever possible; (c) Behaviour change communication related to a very personal matter and creating enabling environment for this; (d) Capacity building of staff engaged in the work; (e) Facilities for STD treatment to truckers close to halt points; and (f) Promotion of the use of condoms. The project finally suggests the involvement of the private sector as an important component of the global strategy to fight the spread of HIV/ADIS epidemic. Apart from social implications, there are economic reasons as well for seeking the involvement of industry. The 'Healthy Highways Project" has been attempting to develop working partnerships with the private sector. The efforts thus can be summed up as a search for feasible and replicable models. One of the studies carried out by Society for Promotion of Youth and Masses (SPYM) on trucks plying on major highways revealed that 27% of the truck drivers were suffering from different types of STDs and 56% of the truckers had a history of STD. Nearly two fifths of them accepted that they had passed on STD to their wives. Field trials cdnducted by AIDS Research Foundation of India (ARFI) who have been involved in HIV intervention programme among truckers in the south have shown that STD infections among drivers was very high. According to their volunteers at out-reach centres in Tamil Nadu having STD clinics, 9 out of 10 seeking treatment were invariably diagnosed for having STDs. Recent research in Tamil Nadu showed that 25% of the lorry drivers were HIV positive. The Bhoruka Research Centre for Haematology and Blood Transmission, in its survey at Uluberia (West Bengal) check post showed that the prevalence rate of STDs among truckers was as high as 30%. The survey also revealed that 5.4% of the 1,357 truck drivers and their assistants were HIV positive. According to official data of School of Tropical Medicine, which monitors HIV/AIDS in West Bengal, 29% of the 248 persons who tested. positive by Western Blot method till June 1, 1994 were truckers. 7.4 Survey Among Truckers on Project Routes 7A1 SAMPLE LOCATIONS In order to study the issues of HIV/AIDS during the preparation of RAP, a survey has been carried out among truckers (including drivers of oil tankers) who ply on the corridors selected for UP State Roads Project This survey was carried out in 16 different locations across all the seven corridors of Phas e II.

A total of 16 such locations were finalised, where 252 truckers participated in FGDs. These locations are dotted with dhabas (road-side eateries) where, truckers halt for various reasons apart from food and hence it is easy to approach. Discussions took place in dhabas so as to facilitate the participation of dhaba owners and other workers. 7A.2 THE OBJECIIVE OF SURVEY The objectives of survey were: * Health seeking behaviours of truck drivers including the barriers to accessing sexual health services. * Information on sexual networking (both male to male sex and male female sex). * Present availability of health services addressing STD diagnosis and treatment and their perceived accessibility and appropriateness.

India 162 Project Co-ordinating Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Act0on Pion (Phase 11) DhV n ossocllion with Opoiotons Research Group August 2003 Accordingly Group Discussion (GD) was carried out among truck drivers and their assistants, focussing on their sexual practices and related health seeking behaviour, their knowledge, attitude and perception about STD/HlIV, and access to health care facilities (copy of GD gtuideline enclosed as Annex 7.1). In all 15 GDs were held in all the seven routes as per Table 7.1. The age group of truckers including cleaners varied from 15 to 53 vears. Each group was restricted to 10 drivers apart from their cleaners. In a large gathering of truckers multiple group discussions were held. 7A-3 KEY FINDINGS > The participants reported that during a single short trip, they cover a distance of 100 to 300 km, lasting for about a couple of days. Long trips generally are about a distance of 2000 to 4000 km. In long trips they are on the road for about a week or 10 days. On an average, truck crew remains away from home for about three weeks. At times if reliever is not available with the owner, they remain out of home for even month and a half. In such situations, they get a break of 15 days. > The cabin crew usually includes a drivers, reliever and one assistant, often termed as 'cleaner'. > Halting depends on the distance they have travelled. One halt varies between an hour to eight hours again depending on whether it is a -day halt or a night halt Day halts are normally for food, minor repair or at times they stop if they feed tired of driving. In fact night halts mean halting at wee hours as feel sleepy and most of the accidents occur at that time of the day. It is only in early night halts when they indulge in alcohol consumption and sexual activities. At times they carry CSW in trucks during daytime as well. Normally CSW charges any thing between Rs2O to Rs.200 depending on the demand and location. At times when highway passes through the city, CSWs are picked up from cinema halls, railway stations, wine shops or at loading and unloading points. Sex and alcohol is regarded as cheap mode of entertairunment. > Economically truckers are not very well off. Though drivers get and average salary cf Rs 3000 to Rs 6000 per month, cleaner normally gets Rs.500 to 1500. Drivers are giver. a fixed amount depending on the route primarily to take care of minor repairs, taxes on route and even to pay bribes to the police officials. However, they carry passengers in their cabin and the amount charged is less than normal fare of buses. This money gets distributed among the crew. Apart from low salaries, they are not allowed to take leave and are often dismissed without prior notice. Because of low salary and constantly being away from homes, they had little say in the decision making process at household level. The daily expenses of cleaner are normally bome by the driver. > Most of the crewmembers know about STD, though very few know about AIDS/HIV. Piles, cold and cough, dysentery is quite common among the truckers, mainly because of lack of rest, dhaba food and regular alcohol consumption. Some crewmembers during personal interview revealed that they suffer from STD, though they neither know the name of the disease, nor the source of it Despite these problems, they still visit CSWs. > Some truckers also reported to have experienced homosexuality during the GD. Their partners in most of the cases are cleaners, those who are young and have joined the crew recently. Even oral and anal sex is quite common with CSWs. At times they pick up eunuchs for oral and anal sex. Govemment of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 163 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Prodesh Stote Roads Project Resetttement Actkin Plan (Phase llj DHV In ossociation with Operoaions Research Group August 2003 > Roadside eateries (Dhabas) are the nodal points for truckers and CSWs. The temporary structures or at the back of the tea stall or dhabas along the highways are often used for sexual activities, while at times truck cabin is also used for the purpose. Often tea stalls are run by CSWs. Otherwise, dhaba owners acts as middlemen and brings CSWs to the highways. Dhaba owners also ensure safety of CSWs. > Though drivers were aware of the need to use condoms, during the sexual relationship with CSWs as revealed by the drivers, few of them used condom in actual practice. Condoms any way are not available on highways and no trucker carries them along. > Truckers after getting infected, reportedly prefers home remedies first, which includes washing of genitals with antiseptic solution (dettol) or by their own urine. Further deterioration leads them to practitioners without any formal medical training. Proper medical treatment is sought only when case deteriorates further. 7AA FELT NEEDS > Medical help was perceived as an absolute necessity in all the group meetings. They needed registered allopathic male doctor and if possible specialist at loading and unloading points and on highways. However, they insisted that the government should pay doctor's fee as they could ill afford it > Participants were not too enthusiastic about involving their employers in assistance delivery process due to fear of losing job if employer comes to know about the same. 7A.5 EMERGING ISSUES > The truckers face professional and social degradation and are stigmatised for living a sexually promiscuous life style. > They indulge in multiple heterosexual relationships, irrespective of age and marital status. > They seem to prefer to have sexual relationship with highway CSWs being less expensive and easily accessible than those in urban areas thereby exposing the rural population to the risk of SrD. > Awareness of HIV/AIDS was negligible. > High indulgence in casual sex calls for an intervention that addresses their sexual networking in the general population. > Poor medical facilities on the highway and apathy shown by the health providers compel them to seek improper treatment for STD. Strengthening rural medical infrastructure and service outlets on the highways were the felt needs of the truckers. > The truckers hardly use condoms d uring the contact with CSWs. > Truckers have limited exposure to information on causes of spread and measures for prevention of STD and HIV/AIDS.

India 164 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase l) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 7.5 MEASURES FOR CONTROLLING THE SPREAD OF HIGHWAY DISEASES 75.1 APPROACH FOR IMPLEMENTING THE MEASURES Before any measures are taken up, it is important to conduct a detailed mapping exercise, with the help of the NGO selected for implementation in all the project corridors. The mapping will help in making systematic observation, sampling in the later stages and to select key informants to facilitate targeted interventions. Following steps will be fcllowed: Step 1: For targeted interventions, NGO responsible for RAP implementation will have to coordinate with NGO working with State AIDS Control Organisation (SACO). NGOs working with SACO will be district wise segregated to identify the NGO working in the project districts. Step 2. Once the identification is over, implementing NGO will tie - up with SACO NGO to implement measures for controlling spread of HIV/AIDS Step 3: Implementing NGO in coordination with SACO NGO will be responsible for O Indicating the type of information to be disseminated o Locations where interventions are to be carried out O Frequency of undertaking the interventions o Availability of doctors, peer educators, etc o Provision of infrastructure facilities at selected locations. 7.52 MEASURES FOR CONTROLLING THE SPREAD Following measures can be adopted for the control of spread of HIV/AIDS along the highways: (1) Health surveys along the highways may be carried out to assess the spread and nature of STD. It is important to prepare a health profile of the truckers/cleaners and all those living along the highways. Health profile will include the disease pattem; frequency; infected people; available health facilities; minimum distance to be covered for any health facility; etc. The analysis of data thus gathered will help in developing strategies in controlling the spread of the disease. (2) Awareness against STD or HlV/AIDS Awareness creation on the spread of STD or HIV/AIDS especially among the highway uses is the most effective measure in controlling STDs. The awareness could be generated through Information-Education -Communication (IEC) materials. - Before developing IEC materials, a strategy for awareness generation needs to be worked out including- > Identification of peer educators > Identification of target population other than truckers and crew members > Identification of location for displaying IEC materials > Coordinate with SACO NGOs > Coordinate with health department > Tie up with a willing private sector contributor Once these issues are ironed out, emphasis will be on type of IEC materials viz., Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department.

BCC is based on the realisation that communication as a process passes through different stages. Hence the communication has to be designed and carried out to the level of changing behaviour of the audience stand. (iii) Peer education is important in IEC. Peers can help in creating awareness among target population. They could be of great help in BCC as well. (iv) Involvement of NGOs could be of immense help in implementing the IEC strategy. International and national organisations working towards the control of HIV/AIDS through IEC have engaged NGOs for addressing the issue. 7.53 RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Specific actions to be carried out in UP-PCC for controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS/STD are the following INFORMATION CA MPAIGN/ADVERTISEMENT > Signage/Hoardings Suitable information materials should be designed to impart knowledge regarding STD/AIDS, the nature of their spread, control measures etc., among road users and truckers. Proper signages and hoarding are to be designed and displayed in suitable locations. > Vehicle stickers Stickers on information related to STD/AIDS has to be designed highlighting use of condoms, treatment facilities etc. In rest areas, in information booths the stickers should be kept and distributed to every truck parked there. > Condom Vending machines Location: All the rest areas should have the provision of condom vending machines. Some people feel shy of using this machines in open public. To make these more effective, machines could be placed as an altemative to information booths, inside public toilet enclosures. CO-ORDINATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES Co-ordination with agencies/organisations like State AIDS Control Society (SACS) working towards the cause of control and treatment of these diseases should be arranged. This would help the effort of the highways authorities to be more effective and efficient. Government of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow.

GOI and GOUP regulations and World Bank policy require environmental and social impact assessment during the design stage to minimnise, reduce or mitigate potential negative impacts of project action and enhance positive impacts, sustainability and development benefits. Although many benefits are expected from the project, social assessments have identified potential adverse impacts on roadside communities immediately and directly affected by project construction and operation. These impacts include losses of land, other assets and livelihood. Everv effort has however been made to reduce potential direct negative impacts of the project, both in terms of environment and social issues. Where possible from a technical and economnic perspective, designs have been so prepared to minimise the negative impacts. 8.2 Right of Way and Corridor of Impact Right of way is the public land owned by the State Government and administered by the PWD, for the existing road. Right of way held by the PWD is the lawfully acquired corridor of land. The established width is 30 m. However, Right of way width that varies from 10m (Route No.1OA) to 60m (Route 3 and 11). Moreover, the existing ROW is not free of encumbrances, as will be seen from the strip maps. Using available records with the PWD and the revenue department, R&R team have verified the boundaries of legal right of way as well as boundaries of private properties within and in the vicinity of the corridor of impact The limit of displacement will be limited not to the legal right of way but only to the corridor of impact. The corridor of impact is the corridor required for the actual construction of the road, including carriageway, shoulders, embankments and longitudinal drainage. Within this corridor there should be no structures or hindrances. 8.3 Design and R&R Co-ordination The prime objective of the RAP is to minimise or minimise negative impact on the people/community because of the project execution. Therefore, during preparation of the project, due consideration was given to minimise the negative impacts within the limitations of technical requirements and cost effectiveness. The seven proposed corridors pass through two broad land use stretches: built up areas and open rural areas. The built up areas generally have dense developments on either side of the existing road including high level of encroachment and residential/commercial squatting. Though some of the structures on the encroached land are permanent in nature, most of the squatting is in temporary structures. The rural open stretches are characterised by agriculture encroachment or fallow land. As a result two distinct design approaches were adopted: one for built up areas and other for open rural areas. The existing carriageway width of state highways varies from 4.5 m to 7m. On route number 11 carriageway is totally missing. The proposed road design would require 12m wide strip of land, which includes 7m wide two-lane carriageway. The existing ROW except at certain location on route number 10A is wide enough to accommodate proposed developments; therefore there is no need to acquire land for improvement of existing roads. In order to Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 170 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resefftement A.lon Plan (Phase il) DHV In ossocloicio. with Operotions Research Group August 2003 minimise displacement in route 1A, bypass has been proposed at two locations viz., Budhanpur and Ahiraula. The project though restricted to corridor of impact, would affect people because of squatting and encroachment within the ROW. Provision has been made in the RAP to address the issues related to non-title holders affected persons. However, land needs to be acquired for four proposed bypasses viz., Bangarmau on route number 4, Budhanpur and Ahiraula on route 10A and a small section for Gaurabadshahpur on route number 18. All these bypasses are cutting through privately owned agriculture land and therefore land acquisition for bypasses is mandatory.

The formation width remains the same through out the project corridors. However, in urban areas with the problem of water logging or flooding, instead of soft shoulders drainage will be provided. But in certain stretches formation width has gone up to 21 m but that will not have any impact as such areas are dotted with barren lands and moreover these are because of embankment slopes. In urban areas road is designed at minimum height and therefore no space is required for embankment slopes. The existing ROW varies from 1n to 60m. In most cases ROW is more than 12m and therefore is adequate enough to accommodate the proposed widening. It is only in route 10A that ROW is 10m and carriageway width is as low as 3m (Budhanpur), hence bypass has been proposed there. However, the widening will affect large number of squatters and encroachers some of whom will also be displaced. The RAP for this project addresses the issues related to non-titleholders. The aim of the RAP is to minimise the hardship of the displaced and the otherwise impacted people. The RAP also aims to help the PAPs to better or at least maintain their pre-project economic status. 8.5 The Definition and Delineation of COI The Corridor of Impact (COI) is the width required for the actual construction of the road including the carriageway, shoulder, embankments, longitudinal drainage, way side amenities, etc. and necessary safety zones. Therefore, entire COI should be free from any encroachment and other encumbrances. The COI has been found to be useful way of miniimising the social impacts. The project will not displace or adversely affect any person outside the COI, even if within the ROW. The width of ROW for all the project corridors along with the COI has been given in table below. However, in various routes COI is more than the available ROW.

The coordination between social and design team helped in reducing the number of PAPs from 1,52,934 to just 32,927 and affected families from 41,657 tO 9,385. In the design phase, mitigation measures incorporated include: &6.l CONCENTRIC WIDENING AND RAISED CARRIAGEWAY Through out the road length in all the corridors, concentric widening has been adopted and similarly raised carriageways were incorporated in built up areas as they require lesser width and entails no land acquisition. The width of the carriageway has been restricted 7m in order to minimise displacement. Raised carriageway was also incorporated in built up areas to minimise the impact. Raised carriageway require lesser width as the proposed carriageway can be segregated by vertical separation instead of wider horizontal separation. &62 BYPASSES In order to ninimise displacement, bypasses have been suggested at dense urban areas viz. Gaura Badshahpur on route 18 and Bangarmau on route 4, for phase I roads and Budhanpur and Ahiraula on route 10A for phase II roads. Gaurabadshahpur Bypass Although the leng;h of route 18 is just 34 km and traverses through many villages, all villages act as potential bottlenecks and just allow for the required widening. But the settlement of Gaura Badshahpur does not even allow for a minimum carriageway, hence a bypass at Gaura Badshahpur has been proposed. The settlement is almost 3.5 km lona and road through the settlement would have resulted in displacement of over 1500 families. The total iength of the bypass is 6.342 km. Bangarmau Bypass Bypass at Bangarmau was found necessary as existing alignment passes through large market areas and dense settlement apart from a sharp turn at the confluence of settlement and market Even from technical point of view foDowing the existing alignment was not possible, as the area is low lying and water logged. Hence bypass is necessary. The total length of the bypass is 1.851 Km. Maintaining the existing road would have required a raising of the existing road of at least 0.5 m in an area where the distance between houses on either side of the road is about 6 to 7 m. Both the bypasses pass through agriculture lands, which are mostly privately owned, thus would require land acquisition. However, bypasses are the part of second phase. Apart from bypasses, no new realignment has been proposed which entails land acquisition, thus minimising negative social impact Budhanpur Bypass The existing alignment passes through the settlements of Pasipur, Koyalasa, Budhanpur and Athrait and has very restricted width ranging from 3 to 5.5 m. The narrow roadway, Government of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow, India 173 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Reseftlement Action Plan (Phase III DHV hr. osociktion with Operaffons Research Group August 2003 residential, commercial activity coupled with pedestrians and local vehicles, creates congestion all along the stretch. Ahiraula Bypass The existing alignment through the commercial hub of the town has restricted width of about 7 m. The narrow roadway and commercial activity coupled with pedestrians and local vehicles creates a significant bottleneck at this location. The junction of MDR 97 with ODR (link road to Kaptanganj) in the congested commercial area remains jammed for most of the day and is a major bottleneck with inadequate road width and geometric standards. Although a number of other towns on this route also have similar problems, Ahiraula is distinguished by the fact that the constricted conditions extended over a length of lkm. In addition the existing bridge over Choti Sarju River has a narrow carriageway and needs replacement or upgrading. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES The Process Following steps were followed for finauauuni Ul uy Fab fuuu:a; Step I Procurement of Revenu e maps Revenue maps were collected from the office of Lekhpal (Revenue Clerk) for the villages getting affected due to the alignment proposed bypass. Revenue maps were collected for the following villages: Bypass Name Name of the villages Gaurabadshahpur j Chorsand, Gaurabadshahpur, Jewli Bangarmau Bangarmau (Safipur) Ahiraula Bhogaicha, Sihor Kol, Pakdi. Hasapur, Matlupur, Pakhanpur Budhanpur Athara, Nibuadih, Sarmaralnavae, .Ambari, Manudhinpur, Ghanghanta, Mubrakpur, Bhilampur, Badagaun, IBharupur, Biharpur, Pasipur Step 2 Tentative Centreline of the Proposed Bypass Approximate centreline of proposed bypasses was plotted on the scale matching the scale of revenue maps (1:4000). Certain identification marks were also plotted for e.g., On Bangarmau bypass the locations marked were bridge on Kalyani River, distance of Mazar from the centreline, etc and similarly on Gaurabadshahpur bypass canal was the :najor identification mark. On Budhanpur bypass road was marked properly where as on Ahiraula bypass Sarju River was marked. Step 3 Superimposition of centreline on Revenue maps The tentative centreline was then superimposed on the revenue maps and plots within 45 m corridor (22.5 m on either side of the centre line) were recorded. Step 4 Information from Lekhpa I Once the plots were identified, Lekhpal was approached to gather information on the followings: (1) Name of the landholder Govemment of Uttar Pradesh.

India 174 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Fun (Phase 11 DHV In assvciotion Wiih Operations Research Group August 2003 (2) Address of the landholder (3) Size of the plot (4) Caste of the landholder It was important to coLlect last two details because: (1) If the plot size comes under small or marginal category, even a strip can severe the land and rendering it economically unviable. (2) Person belonging to scheduled category comes under vulnerable category as per R&R policy. (3) Efforts were made to avoid the plots under last two categories wherever it was feasible from the engineering point of view. Bypasses And Alternatives Considered * Bangarmau Problem identification The existing alignment passes through the commercial heart of the town, which severely restricts traffic movement through the town. In addition the portion of SH40 from the junction with SH38 towards the west (Bilhaur) is narrow which further constricts traffic flow. As shown in Figure 3.1, the alignment of SH40 from Lucknow to Bilhaur is discontinuous due to a doglegged intersection with SH38, with the two junctions separated by approximnately 100 metres. The presence of these two junctions, in the centre of the commercial area further impedes traffic flow as wel as imposing a safety hazard for pedestrians and traders making use of the commercial area. The vertical alignment though the town is generally lowv-lying and suffers from inadequate drainage, creating intermittent saturation of the base layers of the pavement and associated rapid pavement deterioration. Complete failure of the pavement layers was observed at the northern junction of SH38 and SH40, and on substantial portions of both SH38 and SH40. Options for remedial action Retain existing alignment Retention of the existing alignment, with specific improvement measures is a feasible option. The road reserve of SF38 is in general very wide, however a portion of SH40, approximately 200m in length, from the junction with SH38 in a westerly direction has available clear width of only 7 to 8 metres. If the road were to be retained on the existing alignment the folowing actions would be required: * Upgrading to four lanes of SH38 through Bangarmau * Upgrading to four lanes of SH40 east of SH38 (towards Lucknow) * Upgrading to two lanes, with shoulders, of SH40 west of SH38 (towards Bilhaur) with associated substantial land acquisition. * Intersection improvements at the two junctions of SH40 with SH38. * Vertical realignment of the section of road passing through the low-lying area . Drainage improvement on both SH38 and SH40 Upgrading the existing alignments of SH38 and SH40 would result in the shortest route for through traffic. Through traffic would however stil incur delays due to side friction resulting from the volume of local traffic, pedestrians and commercial activities alongside the road. Delays will continue to occur for East - West traffic on SH40, that must first Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department. Lucknow.

Northern bypass options Two options for such a northern bypass were investigated. Option 1 was based upon minimisation of land acquisition, while option 2 optimised the geometric characteristics of the road. Ir. order to mniss the more d.eveloped land between the railway line and SH38, and to avoid providing an impediment to pedestrian and vehicular traffic moving between the town and the railway station, both options were located to the east of the railway line. Provision has been made in both the alignments for a future road-over-rail bridge where the bypass crosses the railway line. From the junction with the existing SH40 east of the railway level crossing, Option 1 runs parallel to the railway line. In order to avoid creating an unusable strip of land between the road and rail reserves, the 45 m road reserve was located abutfing the 90m-railway reserve. The alignment was located to avoid three small temples in the vicinity of the level crossing. The alignment runs in a roughly northerly direction through largely barren land. Two small mango orchards are crossed before a minor road leading to Hardoi district is reached. A rice mil north of the Hardoi road would require expropriation. North of the rice mill the alignment passes through the grounds of a cement factory. While the factory building itself would not be affected, the access road leasing to the factory would require realignment. The bypass then is planned to swing towards the west, to cross the railway line at a skew anglel8. Barren and undeveloped land is then crossed before the bypass intersects with SH38 at approximately km 37.5 on SH 38. Option 2 is identical to option from the junction with SH40 until just south of the Hardoz road. At this point the alignment veers to the east of the rice mil and cement factory before swinging back in a westerly direction to cross the railway line at 900 and link into SF38 at the same location as option 1. A third mango orchard is crossed for this option. The alignment of option 2 is somewhat longer than option 1, however from a safety perspective a perpendicular level crossing is vastly superior to the skew crossing in option 1. While the rice mill is avoided, option 2 passes hrough the property of a brick kiln. Informal information indicates that the kiln is nearing the end of its economical life at this location, however compensation or relocation would still be required. Despite the slightly longer length and associated land acquisition, option 2 has significantly improved geometric, and hence safety, characteristics. The additional road and land costs would be outweighed by the lower cost of a perpendicular ROB should this be constructed. Options 1 and 2 are identical for the portion of the bypass linking SH38 to SH40 west of Bangarmau. The location for the intersection between the bypass and SH38 was selected to avoid a mango orchard on the westem side of SH38 at approximately km 37. From SH38 the alignment traverses approximately 1 km of arable land consisting of an area of mixed plantation and a mango orchard. The alignment runs through approximately Is Skew angle on an approach to o level crossing is undesirable from a safety perspective as visibility of oncoming trains is restricted by the necessity for the car driver to look back over his left shoulder. Absence of a reor side window in trucks may completely obscure an oncoming train from the driver's view. From a cost perspective a skew Road over bridge (ROB) requires significontly o longer bridge, with associated higher cost than a perpendicular crossing. Govemment of Uttar Prodesh.

A qualitative summary of the performance of each option with regard to a set of evaluation criteria is given in the table below.

In contrast, upgrading of the existing alignment does not result in the loss of any arable land, and no trees will be cut The main aspects in favour of the bypass option 2 in comparison to widening the existing roads, are the much higher resettlement and relocation associated with widening the section of SH40 west of SH38, and the reduction in conflict achieved by allowing through traffic to avoid the commercial area of the town. While it has not been quantified, separation of through and local traffic can be expected to reduce road traffic collisions as well as reducing congestion and delay. On balance the Consultant, in consultation with the UPPWD, regarded the lower social impact and better traffic flow characteristics of the bypass option as sufficiently important to outweigh the poorer environmental performance. Gaurabadshahapur Problem identification The existing alignment through the town of Gaurabadshahapur has very restricted width of between 7 and 8 metres. The narrow roadway, in conjunction with pedestrians and local vehicles, creates a significant bottleneck at this location. Although a number of other towns on this route also have similar problems, Gaurabadshahapur is distinguished by the fact that the constricted conditions extend over a length of approximately two kilometres. Government of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 177 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlernent Action Plan (Phose 11) DY in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Options for remedial action Retain existing alignment Widening of the road to the futl surfaced width of 10 metres was riot viewed as a feasible option due to the magnitude of social impact that such widening would have. It was that displacement of approximately 1500 families would result from such action. Northern bypass options The common feature of the northern aligment options is utilisation of approximately 1.5 km of an existing earth service road located on the dyke of an irrigation canal, and hence minimisation of expropriation of arable land. The bypass was planned to run on the northern side of the canal to avoid a skew bridge crossing of the canal. A further aspect in favour of locating the bypass north of the canal was that the canal forms a barrier between the bypass and northerly expansion of the town, and hence the chances of encroachment within the road reserve are reduced. Two options were investigated, that differed in the location of the link from MDR69 to the service road. Option 1 mninimised construclion cost by utilising an existing minor road located on the western outskirts of the town, which runs in a north - south direction to the village of Kukoova, to link MDR69 to the service road. Due to the location on the outskirts of the town, this road has significant development adjacent to the road. In combination with a number of sharp curves the extent of development would have resulted in very high social costs to improve the poor geometry. As a result this option was discarded in favour of option 2. The western starting point for the alignment of Option 2 is substantially further west than for option 1, resulting in the option 2 alignment being approximately 3 kan longer than option 1. The link from MDR69 crosses about 2 km of agricultural land to link with the service road. The alignment of the portion of the bypass was chosen to avoid a mango plantation. The section utilising the service road requires widening of the embankment, however no land acquisition is required as ownership is with the Irrigation Department of the Govermment After 1.5 km on the service road the bypass swings slightly north, through an area of paddy fields to link with the existing road east of the town. Southern bypass option The area in the vicinity of Gaurabadshahapur, to the south of MDR69, could also be utilised for locating a bypass. The town is spread more to the south of MDR69, than to the north. As a result the possible southern bypass alignment traverses an area with a higher degree of development than the northern option. A number of dwellings would require expropriation, in addition to a portion of agricultural land. MDR69 veers slightly north to the east of the town, resulting in the southern bypass being longer than the northem option.

Options for Remedial Action Retain existing aligmnent Widening of the road to the full surtacea wictti ot ium was not viewea as a reasivie option due to the magnitude of social impact that such widening would have. It was estimated that displacement of approxima tely 2700 households would result from such action. Northwestern bypass option The bypass was planned to run on the northern side of the existing road as settlement on the northem side of the MDR97 and ODR is sparse and the proposed route traverses mainly through agricultural land. The length of the bypass was estimated to be 8.15 km. Southeastern bypass option A southeastem bypass was found to be significantly less desirable than the northwestem option as bypass needed to run a longer distance to avoid settlement along SH30 Azamgarh - Faizabad road. The length of the bypass was estimated to be over 15 km. A qualitative summary of the performance of altematives for the Budhanpur bypass is given in the table 8.4 below. Government of Uttor Pradesh.

The narrow roadway and commercial activity coupled with pedestrians and local vehicles creates a significant bottleneck at this location. The junction of MDR 97 with ODR (link road to Kaptanganj) in the congested commercial area remains jammed for most of the day and is a major bottleneck with inadequate road width and geometric standards. Options for Remedial Action Retain existing alignment Widening of the road to the full surfaced width of 10m was estimated to result in displacement of approximately 1600 households. Retention of existing alignment was therefore not viewed as a feasible option due to the high magnitude of social impact of such widening. Moreover, the existing bridge over Choti Sarju River has a narrow carriageway and would require either replacement or upgrading. Northwestern bypass option The bypass was planned to run on the northem side of the river to avoid a skew bridge crossing of the river. The length of the bypass was estimated to be approximately 3.4 km. Settlement on the northem side of MDR97 is sparse and the alignment passes through predominantly agricultural land. Southeastern bypass option A southeastem option for the bypass was also investigated, as the alignment would link with the ODR to Kaptanganj, thus potentially providing an additional benefit to traffic from MDR97 that travel in the direction of Kaptanganj on the ODR. Analysis of the OD survey data, however revealed that this ODR appears to act only as an access to Ahiraula. No vehicles-at either OD station 1 or 2 were found to use the ODR. From traffic perspective there is accordingl) no additional benefit of a southeastern bypass in comparison with the northwestern option. Government of Uttor Pradesh. Public Works Deportment, Lucknow. India 180 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in ossociatbon wilit Operoatons Reseorch Group August 2003 The southeastern bypass needs to run a longer distance to avoid settlement along ODR Kaptanganj link road and to find a proper location for new bridge across Chot Sarju River. The length of the new bridge, down stream of the existing crossing on MDR97, would be longer the bridge required for northwestem alignment The length of the bypass for this option was estimated to over 8km. A qualitative summary of the performance of alternatives for the Budhanpur bypass is given in the table 8.6 below.

However, in all urban/settlement areas, instead of widening the existing road, the design speed has been reduced to 40-50 km per hour. &6A UPGRADING EXISTING BYPASS The major bottleneck on route 6 (Sitapur - Baharaich) is the town of Khairabad and similarly city of Mau on route no 7B (Azamgarh - Phephna). The road stretch through both the town is characterised by dense settlements and busy marker place with encroachers and squatters. There are existing bypasses, which will be upgraded to allow for the future traffic. &6.5 SAFETY ASPECrS IN DESIGNING OF HIGHWAYS In assessment of the impacts of tl-.e project, safety of the road users and the roadside communities had been found to be a major concern. A number of measures have been proposed to reduce the risk of traffic accidents. In some places, these safety measures are co- terminus with the project's impact minimisation measures. Horizontal profile correction and intersection improvement has been suggested for all the project corridors. Other safety measures taken are: (a) Footpaths and safety railings have been suggested in urban areas; (b) Bus bays and lay-bys in urban areas; (c) Reduced design speeds; (d) Signage before approaching a settlement.

The Intersections were designed based or. the traffic volumes observed and to improve the geometric standards viz., approach widths, turning radii and to reduce conflicts of the various turning traffic channelisers/ medians, footpaths and pedestrian refuge islands were provided in accordance with IRC Special Publication 41. A minimum approach width of 5.5 m was adopted on the intersecting roads while that on the project road was 7.25 m. Minimum turning radius of 15 m was adopted to avoid land acquisition and thus to minimize the social impact Acute angle intersections were wherever possible were avoided by realigning the intersecting road to have a right-angled crossing. At places where realigning was not possible approaches are widened to have a minimum width of 5.5 m and turning radius of at least 15 m. Islands were provided to reduce conflicts of opposing traffic and to act as pedestrian refuge.

This section specifically deals with the drains and new culverts provided along the urban areas in order to prov ide better sanitation facilities to the people living there. Field Investigation During the census and socio-economic survey people were specifically asked about drainage problems during rainy as weH as during dry seasons. Proper drainage is necessary In order to provide efficient vehicular movement and safeguard against frequent pavement deterioration. As reported by habitants in general, there are two reasons for water congestion on the road (I) surface water accumulation on the road surface and (ii) ingress of ground water into the sub-grade of road. The combinations of the above mentioned reason Govemment of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Deportment. Lucknow. India 192 Project Co-ordinoting Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project kesettsement Action Plan (Phase II) DH / in association with Operaffons Reseorch Group August 2003 results into severe water congestion problem. When the sub-grade lie in the capillary zone of ground water, its load carrying capacity as"well as shear strength gets reduced due to the pore pressure built up in the soil mass. Whereas the accumulation of surface water above the pavement causes slipping and skidding. of vehicle, loss of binding action of bitumen and subsequent progressive failure of pavement. Thus the poor drainage of road results into damaged road and reduced serviceability. Since the current scope of work is only to upgrade the existing road, the primary concem is to take care of surface water accumulation by providing an early evacuation by means of road side drain with suitable out-fall. However, the local inquiry was also carried out to assess the ground water level in the vicinity of project road and remedial measures have been provided through deep drains and other suitable means (refer table 8.8 given below). During the field investigation carried out jointly by social team, drainage engineer and bridge engineer to locate the area of water congestion, it was found that the problem is mainly concentrated in built-up areas and more specifically in commercial areas. Based upon the field investigation the sanitation problem of the project roads have been discussed under following heads: Area Without Drains These are the built up areas comprising mainly commercial establishments. In such area the longitudinal gradient of the existing road are such that it does not facilitate the evacuation of storm water in longitudinal direction, whereas in transverse direction the natural outlets / agriculture land are blocked by the commercial/ residential settlements. The usual tendency of these growing dwellers is to keep the plinth of their houses or shops above the surrounding road top. In absence of any outlet, the storm water runoff gets accumulated over the road surface forming cavities and successive deterioration of the road surface. The situation becomes aggravated growing settlements. At a number of places it was observed that the road itself has become a drain. Existing Non-Functional Drains At a number of locations side drains have been provided for the disposal of wastewater combined with storm water runoff coming from the adjacent settlements. However, most of the drains now are filled with debris and other waste materiaL Similarly, quite a few drains are now covered with earth and other local material in order to provide an access to their dwellings. Hence the existing drain overflows the adjoining area as soon as it attracts the inflow. Area With Drains, Yet Problem of Water logging Exists In this type of area the existing drains are mainly provided for the urban population. These drains are the main drains leading to the disposal of storm water of nearby township into a natural drain. Normally, these are provided at the edge of ROW. The area between these drains and pavement edge is at higher level than the existing road level. So, the water coming over the road surface fails to get an entry into these drains creating waterlogged area. Area with no Water Logging Problems In these areas, side drains have been provided at some distance from the existing pavement edge. The water accumulated over the road surface get an entry into this drain due to the available cross slope of the shoulder. The runoff coming into the drain are disposed into the natural streams in such a way that there is a little chance of back flow of the natural streams into these drain. These drains are found in good working condition and the area does not pose any drainage problem. Government ot Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 193 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCCI Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phose ll) DHV in association with Operatons Resecich Group August 2003 Drain Out-falls During field irivestigation, the out-fall of proposed drain was also located by the drainage engineer in consultation with the local people. Generaly, it is preferred to dispose the proposed drain into a natural stream or nalla flowing through the culvert or bridges. But in absence of the natural stream or nalla, the some of the proposed drains are recommended to out-fall into the surrounding agricultural field. Based upon the findings of field investigations supplemented with road inventory and cross drainage structures inventory, it has been decided that covered lined drain will be provided in the built-up areas. These drains are proposed to be construct at the edge of shoulder. In order to prevent the ingress of water into the soft shoulder, the area between pavement edges and drain edge will be covered in the form of hard shoulder. The covered drain may be utilized for vehicle parking in built up area, resulting in unobstructed vehicular movement on the main carriageway. Above all, covered drains are more hygienic.

New culverts have been provided in the areas where road was over topped due to afflux caused by road embankment and insufficient or inadequate waterway for existing culverts. In such cases additional culvert has been proposed. Another reason for providing additional culverts was to provide proper out-fall foT the drains proposed. These additional culverts will solve the problem of water logging and hence improve sanitation in built-up areas Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow.

Findings of the report include: 1. Experience from the locations of the bus bays reveal that the location of the bus bays far from the intersections is rarely used. As passengers continue to wait for the buses at the intersections, the buses are also stopped at the intersections and the accidents are likely to increase. 2. Maxi cabs that carry passengers to the villages are generally stopped near the junctions. 3. The pedestrian accidents generally occur when pedestrians cross the road to board the buses or after alighting from the bus. Government of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India 207 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Chapter 9 Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV hi association with Operations Research Group August 2003 9 LAND ACQUISITION AND IMPACr ON ASSETS 9.1 Land Acquisition Estimate The upgradation and widening of 1000 km of state highways under UP-SRP is expected to have both positive and negative impacts on theenvironrnent and on the people.of the project area. Despite al the efforts taken for modifying the design of the project roads, a section of the communities along the corridor are going to be negatively impacted, mainly due to clearing of encroachment and squatters from the public ROW and proposed bypasses on two routes. Negative impacts also include loss of economic .opportunities/livelihood, sources of earning, etc. Moreover, a significant number of community/cultural properties are also going to be negatively impacted. Broadly three kinds of land are required for the project One, land within ROW, owned by Public Works Department (PWD owns 10 m to 60 m throughout the project roads), land required for road improvement outside the ROW and three, land required for bypasses. A total of 201.93 hectare of land will be acquired, out of which 74.36 hectares of land will be required for bypasses, nearly 54 hectares for improvement of roads and another 58.5 hectares for approaches of new bridges. The proposed bypasses viz., Bangarmau Bypass in route 4, Budhanpur and Ahiraula on route 10A and Gaura Badshahpur Bypass in route 18. The details of land required for improvement of roads and bypasses is given in annex 9.1. The summary is given in Table 9.1 below: Table 9.1 Extent of Land Acquisition Estimates for Bypasses Length of the Width of the Total Area Route No Bypass bypass Required (metres) (metres) (hectares) 4 1851 45 8.3 18* 6342 45 28.53 10A 11680 45 52.56 Total 19873 135 89.39 *Rest of the land will be transferredfrom irrigation department. As per Indian Road Congress norm, land acquisition for bypasses on state highways will be for 45 m. All the bypasses are cutting through privately owned agriculture land. Hence, nearly 89.39 ha. of agriculture land will be affected due to proposed bypasses. However, impact on agriculture land will come down by 15 ha. as Gaurabadshahpur bypass for a considerable length will be constructed on a dike of major irrigation canal. Hence, the length of land to be used by PWD will be transferred from irrigation department. 9.2 Land Identified for Resettlement of Displaced families Table 9.2 Route wise distribution of affected and displaced famnilies ROUTE c - -- COI - . ~~~~~PAPs XMAFs| PDFs Moradabad-Bazpur (11) 2128 588 50 Sitapur - Baharaich (6) 6336 1941 153 Lucknow- Bangarmau (4A) 2165 716 165 Pilibhit - Khutar (3) 363 106 21 Gorakhpur - Shahganj (1OA) 7874 2133 - 651 Govemment of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Departmnent.

Approximately 20% (1,793) of the total affected families will be displaced either because of loss of residential property or commercial property. Although in no case entire agriculture land will be acquired, some of the agricultural plots will be adversely affected. A total of 9470 families will be affected, as they have to evict from public ROW. These families will be affected mainly under the following heads: (a) Families losing residential properties (b) Families losing commercial properties (c) Families losing residential cum commercial properties (d) Families losing source of income/trees/irrigation units/etc. Table 9.3 below gives the break up of displaced family by property category.

In bypasses, it is mainly agricultural land getting affected. Surnnary of Table 9.3 1 Number of families Affected Fanilies 9470 Displaced Families 1793 Families losing Residence A total of 617 families will be affected by loss of residential properties of which 83 families will be displaced, which is about 8% of the total residential property affected families. Intra route comparison shows that in route 10A, impact is more on residential property than other routes. Families losing Commercial Properties A total of 4500 families will be affected by loss of commercial properties of which 1433 will be displaced, which is 31% of the total commercial property affected families. Impact on commercial properties was found to be high in route 4B. Families losing Residential cum Commercial Structures A total of 936 families will be affected by loss of residential cum commercial structures of which 283 will be displaced. This clearly indicates sever impact on this section of the affected families. Impact is particularly high on route 7B.

These families form 24% of the total affected families of the Phase II. Majority of the vulnerable families comes under the category of below poverty line families. They are almost over two third of the total vulnerable families. As the table shows, very few tribal families will be affected, but a substantial number of scheduled caste families will be affected (601). A total of 240 families headed by women will be affected. Majority of these vulnerable families are again from commercial property affected group, and this is because impact is more on commercial properties. Most of these commercially affected vulnerable families are engaged in petty roadside business opportunities.

The census survey was carried out among the persons affected due to proposed bypasses (of both phase I as well as phase H) along with the surveys of Phase H. Informal discussions were also carried out with the affected persons to gain an insight into the impact LA will have on farming community.

This is corroborated by the fact that the average operational holding size is less than one Government of Utlar Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 216 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase II) DHV hI association wlth Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 hectare. Since most of the holdings are either marginal or smalL loss of land due to bypass will certainly bring in further economic hardship on the farning community. Major Crops Grown in the Area and productivity As the Table 9.10 below shows that most of the major Rabi and kharif crops are grown in all the bypasses. Vegetables are also grown but mainly for consumption at household level. As the table indicates, productivity is quite high in the area. Yield per hectare is slightly less than the state average. The majority of the agricultural plots on Bangarmau and Gaurabadshahpur bypass, close to the irrigation canal, are irrigated.

In the proposed phase II upgradation and maintenance programme the contractor will procure material from these quarries. The location of these quarries has been summarised in the table below: Table 9.11 UP PWD approved Quarry Site SLNOI Name of the Quarry Material 1 Badshahi Bag Aggregates 1Quarry_ _ _ _ 2 Haridwar Quarry Stone Aggregates 3 Lalkuan Quarry Stone Aggregates 4 Biharigarh Quarry Stone Aggregates 5 Tanakpur Quarry Stone Aggregates 6 Fatehpur Sikri Sand Stone Aggregates Quarry 7 Jhansi Quarry Granite Aggregates 8 Banda Quarry Sand 9 Karbrai Quarry Stone Aggregates 10 Shaukargarh Quarry Sand Stone Aggregates 11 Hamirpur Quarry Sand 12 Chunar Quarry Stone Aggregates 13 Dalla Quarry Lime Stone Aggregates 14 Chopan Quarry Sand 15 Birohi Quarry Stone Aggregates Availability of Borrow Material Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 218 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCCJ Services for Uffar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase IQ DHV In cssociation with Operations Researci Group August 2003 Borrow materials mainly earth will be procured from identified borrow areas along each project route; hence no land needs to be acquired for the same. These borrow areas are located within 100m from ROW of project routes. These borrow areas have enough availability of materials. These have been finalised by the design team after visiting the various project routes; At the moment there seems to be no social impact due to quarries or borrow areas, but in case there is some impact during construction phase, NGO implementing the RAP will carry out a full-fledged social impact study at the affected locations and suggest mitigation measures accordingly. 9.6 Land Identified for Resettlement of Displaced Families A total of 1,793 families will be displaced because of road widening and upgradation, of which 1433 wil be losing commercial structures, 80 will lose residential structures and another 283 would lose residential cum commercial structures. As a result approximately 18,150 sq. m of residential and 35,825 sq. m of commercial land will be affected. The calculation is based on provision made in R&R policy of UP-SRP, where project provides 50 sq. m of residential and 25 sq. m of commercial plots.

Route and village wise availability of land is presented in table 9.12 below. The land identified for resettlement is in access to the required land to provided wider alternative options and opportunities for final selection of sites. The sites wiD be finalised by NGO in consultation with the affected persons. Other facilities that will be provided in resettlement colonies include, drinking water facilities, internal roads, school, community hall, panchayat building, grazing land, village wood lot, medical facilities, sanitation facilities and recreation centre.

They were of the view that with the compensation amount if provided at replacement value, they wil be able to construct new house along with their peer group.

Majority of the commercial property owners wanted their shops along the highway so that they can. maintain the old customer base and moreover with increased traffic, there could be increase in business opportunities as well. Cash in form of compensation and assistance was also sought after by many commercial properties owners. 9.8 Host Community Survey It is important to carry out the host community survey ror all me iaenuniea provaoie resetuement sites.

Lucknow, India 228 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roods Project Resettlement Action Pian (Phose 0) DHV hI association with Operations Research Group August 2003 sites NGO responsible for RAP implementation in consultation with the PAFs, will carry out host community survey. Since NGO for phase f will on board by September 2003, host community survey can be initiated by October 2003, after verification exercise of PAPs. The objectives of the host survey are: * to assess the likely impact on and needs of hosts, * to help design appropriate income restoration programmes for PAPs, * assist in identifying areas where they may be problems of integration between two communities, * to assess carrying capacity of existing resources and the potential for intensification of the settlement. The goal of the RAP is, as a minimum, to raise the standard of living of PAPs above the poverty level. The host community survey will give an insight to the project authorities of potential resentment of PAPs by members of the host community those who may be living below the poverty level. Mitigation measures then may be worked out into the project's plan. It is very rare that an implementing agency will find green field sites to relocate PAlPs. In locating them in an existing settlement there is a risk that an increase in the population will increase demands above the carrying capacity of the land and resources available to the hosts and the new comers This makes host community survey all the more important Information checklist for Host Community Survey If at all DPs needs to be resettled in new community, there are number of Issues that needs to be addressed. The issues are: * Census data of host population w.r.t. total population, sex, ethnic, linguistic, caste, occupational, educational, etc. * Current land use patterns, tenure status, and production system. * Inventory of existing social infrastructure (School, health centres, market, temples, community centres, etc.) * Use of area by non-residents (grazing land, foraging, etc.) and usufruct rights attached. * Carrying capacity of area and vulnerability to PAP influx. Existing survey information should be reviewed and considered before new actions are taken. Host survey can be done using Rapid Appraisal Method. The host community will need to be included in any community consultation exercises to allow, them to air any concerns they may have of the incoming population. 9.9 Land Required for Ancillary Activities Apart from widening of roads, land will be required for setting up of construction camps and contractor's office. Requirement of such lands does not fall under LA Act 1894, as contractor is responsible for arrangement of such lands through negotiation with willing lesser. However, contractor is supposed to return the land in original form to the lesser after the expiry of lease period. Detail provision of construction camp has been provided in chapter 16.

Though no orphan was found, significant number of woman headed families was found during the census survey. The table below gives the distribution of affected vulnerable families. The ensuing sections in the chapter deals with the imact on women in detail.

The economic condition of women headed households varies considerably depending upon factors such as marital status, social context of female leadership and decision making, access to facilities and productive resources, income and composition of the household. These conditions form the basis for defining indicators to assess the vulnerability of such households. There are two important aspects of UPSRP where gender issues are required to be addressed. It is expected that in development projects like UPSRP women are going to experience socio-economic impacts due to certain adverse impacts such as eviction from public ROW, loss of common property resources, etc. This is to be noted here that post-project provisions as mentioned in the RAP has been done keeping in mind the well-being of mostly the affected women along with women of the host communities. Thus, these relate to resettlement and rehabilitation. Whereas, gender issues in the construction phase will mostly concern the women workers who will be engaged in the road construction activities. These women workers are expected to come from outside being engaged by the construction contractors and will be staying in the construction camps during the construction. There may be participation from local women also in the construction activities.

Socio economic parameters like literacy; work force participation rate, general health conditions etc. reveals that social status of women is very backward in the project area and thereby brought forward the scope of considering the households headed by women as vulnerable. Women Headed Households A total of 240 women headed households, 360 families and 15,308 women members were found in the project area. The number of such families varies from 2 in route 3 to 68 in route 6. This constitutes approximately 4% of the total families affected.

As is evident from the table 10.3, percentage of illiterate women varies from roughly 20% in route 14(phase I intersection) to 74% in route 3. The percentage will be much higher if clubbed together with category termed as just literate or informally literate. However, a small percentage of women were found to be holding university degree. Distribution of women by Family Type As found in Census data analysis, majority of the women is part of nuclear family. However, in phase I intersections distribution is more or less same between joint and nuclear. Social Stratification of Affected Women As is shown in table above, majority of the women members is either from Other Backward Castes or Higher Castes. This is primarily because either Obis or general caste population dominates project corridors. Number of women from tribal community is almost negligible. Even number of scheduled caste women is quite low.

As the table above shows, number of unmarried women is higher as compared to married, except in route 4B. Significant number of widow, deserted and separated women were found in aDl the routes. Number of Children per Woman In order to understand status of women in terms degree of vulnerability an attempt has been made to assess the number of children per woman on project routes. In this exercise, universe includes mothers with child less than or equal to 14 years of age. It is evident from the table below that on an average a woman bears more that two children in the study area. outes Average Number of Children per woman ilibhit to Khutar (3) 2.3 angarmau to Lucknow(4 B) 1.9' itapur to Baharaich (6) 2.0 Azamgarh to Phephna(7B) 2.06 Gorakhpur to Shahganj(10A) 2.2 Moradabad to Bazpur(11) 2.54 Deoria to Ballia (16) 2.35 ntersections hoganipur (14) 1.69 hatampur (14) 1.64 haudgramode (14) 2.5 atra (7A) 2.2 Katra (4A) 2.6 Bypasses Ahirraula (1OA) 2.3 Budhanpur (1OA) 1.8 Bangarmau (4A) 2.0 Gaurabadshahpur (18) 2.11 Impact of Displacement on Woman Development induced displacement has lot of consequential impact and bring changes in the lives of PAPs. These changes are economic, social and cultural in nature. If the changes are adverse, then certain vulnerable sections of the society like women, children, tribal, poor, etc. are worst hit. While social and cultural impacts are the results of the societies and communities within it due to relocation and resettlement arrangements, the economic affects are the outcome of the changes in the production system. Therefore it is imperative to study on those socio-cultural and economic aspects of such underprivileged sections of the society, among the affected community particularly in the light of their vulnerability to changed situation. It is the observation in projects faced with displacement in the country that such vulnerable sections are generally not aware of their rights and privileges or even of their entitlements. As observed in previous actions that, women forms substantial segment among the PAPs, it becomes necessary to segregate women and study the impact on their socio-economic status. Since the entire analysis of socio-economic database has been done on social stratification basis (scheduled population) and presented in previous sections, this section exclusively deals with woman. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 235 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase ll) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 In the process of R&R, women require special attention. Change caused by relocation does not have equal implications for members of both the sexes and may result in greater inconvenience to women. Due to disturbance in production system, reduction in assets like land and livestock, women may have to face the chaUenge of running a large household in limited income and resources. This in tum may force woman as well as children to participate in work for supplementing the household income. In contrast to this, due to changes that are likely to take places due to any development project, especialy changes in environment and land labour ratio, those women who at present are engaged in activities like agriculture labour, or collection and sale of forest produce may find themselves unemployed and dependent. In this sections an attempt has been made to study women's role in the economy of the household, their daily routine and social positioning in terms of their say in decision making at the household level. This exercise would be helpful in determining women's role in rehabilitation planning and women empowerment. Women's role in Household Economy As can be seen from Table 10.4, women participation in economic activities is almost negligible. The percentage of workers among women varies from less than a percent to approximately 3%. The majority, of those who are gainfully employed are engaged in agriculture related activities (either as agriculture labour or in cultivation). As expected most of the females are restricted to the household chores. As the table shows, over 40% of the women are engaged in household work ranging from collecting potable water, cooking and child rearing to helping the male members either in running their petty shops or in agriculture field. Such low percentage of working women may be because majority of them belongs to either higher castes or OBC. Traditional values attached to the women's movement outside the four walls of the house, among the upper caste, is the main reason why less number of women is gainfully engaged.

Although particulars like child rearing are difficult to record as women are of the opinion that there is no fixed time for rearing children. In joint family, (majority of families here are joint families) children are taken care of by any elder member of the family and not necessarily the mother. In nuclear families, even neighbours at time take care of children for sometime. In this area among the respondents the maximum time was being spent by the females on household chores like cooking, washing, collection of drinking water, cleaning, cattle rearing etc. Those who are engaged in labour activities (including service in urban areas) on an average spend 6 to 8 hours every day. Women those who help family members in cultivation, on an average spent over 4 hours in a day. The recorded timings for relaxation and entertainment is pretty high because even sleeping time of 8 hour are also included in this. Table 10.5 below presents average time spent by responding women in individual routes.

During the group discussion, various issues related to household matter were raised viz., their importance in financial matter, child's education, child's health care, purchase of assets, marriages and other functions, etc. As the Table 10.6 shows majority of women PAPs have said that they do not have any decision making power at household level. One fifth of the total sample respondents have say in important matters viz., child's education, child's health, etc. Little over one-tenth of the women respondents reportedly have say in financial matters of household. However, nearly one fourth reportedly have say in purchase of assets and social functions. 10.1.2 IMPACT OF DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES ON WOMEN Women as a vulnerable group has been addressed in the RAP but to give R&R a proper shape this group should be considered with special emphasis as they constitute half the society's population and they are found to be the worst affected in most of the development projects in our country. Women are involved in the project anyway. However, most of the times, they are on the negatively impacted side. Following is the account of the ways women are affected and/or involved in the project. * Women constitute about half of the PAPs. * The RAP reveals that 238 women headed households and 357 women headed families are affected by the project. * Women face hardship and continue to suffer in silence during the transition period till the time the families are able to regain the previous living standard. The duration of this process is often lengthened, due to delays in payment of compensation, rehabilitation assistance and implementing the R&R, reconstructing the livelihood systems. Longer the transition period, more are the miseries. As per the R&R Policy as well as looking into the need of the day; women are required to be involved in the process of sustainable development. They have to be integrated in the project as full-fledged Government of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknowv Iridia 238 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 participants taking par in ali the stages of the project starting from planning through implementation and even in the post-project stages. Only then the process of development is going to help this section of vulnerable people. 10.123 PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN IN THE PROJECTr The GDI value for India is very low and the socio-economic profile of the project area shows much lower socio-economic standing for women. It is imperative to bring the issue of women's development in the process of socio-economic uplift within the scope of the RAP for UPSRP. For this conscious effort should be made towards integrating the issue in the project. 10.1.4 WOMEN INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THROUGH EMPLOYMENT The development experience of at least two decades shows that it is equally necessary to consult women and offer them choices in enabling them to make informed choices and decide for their own development. Participation of women has been envisaged specifically in the following areas: * In the pre-planning and planning stages participation from women could be sought through allowing them taking part in the consultation process. For this, the local level agencies of implementation, i.e. the NGOs have an important role to play. * Each field team of the NGO shall include at least one women investigator/facilitator * Compensation for land and assets lost being same for all the affected or displaced families, special care should be taken by the NGOs for women group while implementing the process of acquisition and compensation as well. * It is imperative that the PWD ensures that the women are consulted and invited to participate in group-based activities, to gain access and control over the resource as a part of the RAP Additionally. * The monitoring team(s) shall constitute ......... 33% The evaluation team shall constitute ................ 33% * From the contractor's -Women inspector of works will be there. * The NGOs should make sure that women are actually taking part in issuance of identify cards, opening accounts in the bank, receiving compensation amounts through cheques in their name or not, etc. This will further widen the perspective of participation by the women in the project implementation. * Under the entitlement framework there is a number of provisions kept for compensation and assistances towards the losses incurred upon the impacted women headed households by the project. On the other, some provisions, mostly those of the assistances, have been created towards reducing the probable hardship to be experienced by them in the process side by side creating scope for their sustainable socio-economic development. * The assistances to be provided to women as a vulnerable group is creating alternative livelihood for them to ensure their sustainable socio-economic upliftment. * The implementing agencies should provide trainings for upgrading the skill in the alternative livelihoods and assist throughout till the beneficiaries start up with production and business.

These groups can then be Linked to special development schemes of the Government, like DWCRA. * For monitoring and evaluation, there should be scope for women's participation. Monitoring of project inputs concerning benefit to women should involve their participation that will make the process more transparent to them. Women should be encouraged to evaluate the project outputs from their point of view and their useful suggestions should be noted for taking necessary actions for further modifications in the project creating better and congenial situation for increasing participation from women. All these done in a participatory way may bring fruit to this vulnerable group in an expected way. 10.1.5 INVOLVEMENT OF WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES OF UPSRP The construction works for widening and strengthening the project corridor will start after the R&R activities are over and the RoW is clear of any encroachment and land is temporarily acquired for borrow areas and construction camps. The construction contractors will set up their construction camps on identified locations where labour force required for the construction activities will be provide with temporary residential accommodation and other necessary infrastructure facilities. The labour force required for the construction activities will be mostly of high-skill nature since a lot of machine work will be there in the construction of the highway. In addition, there will be requirement of unskilled labour where women will certainly contribute. Apart from this, women as family members of the skilled and semi-skilled labourers, will also stay in the construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the construction phase. The families of labourer will include their children also. The construction contractors are expected to bring along skilled labour where as local labour available will be used for unskilled activities. The labour force, both migratory as well as local will have male as well as female members. Foreseeing the involvemnent of women, both direct and indirect in the construction activities, certain measures are required to be taken towards welfare and well being of women and children in particular during the construction phase. 10.1.6 SPECIFIC PROVISIONS IN THE CONSTRUCTION CAMP FOR WOMEN The provisions mentioned under this section will specifically help all the women and children living in the construction camp. Temporary Housing During the construction the families of labourers/workers should be provided with residential accommodation suitable to nuclear families. Health Centre Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health care facilities through health centres temporarily set up for the construction camp. The health centre should have at least a doctor, nurses, General Duty staff, medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases, linkage with nearest higher order hospital to refer patients of major illnesses or critical cases. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 240 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 The health centre should have MCW (Moiher and Child Welfare) units for treating mothers and children in the camp. Apart from this, the health centre should provide with regular vaccinations required for children. Day Creche Facilities It is expected that among the women workers there will be mothers with infants and small children. Provision of a day creche may solve the problems of such women who can leave behind their children in such a crehe and work for the day in the construction activities. If the construction work involves women in its day-night schedules, then the provision of such a creche should be made available on a 24-hour basis. The creche should be provided with at least a trained ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) worker with 'ayahs' to look after the children. The ICDS worker, preferably women, may take care of the children in a better way and can manage to provide nutritional food Provisions for participation of women has to be created following the recommendations below > It is to be seen while engaging NGOs that, women members as a key persons are there. > Each field team of the NGO should include at least one women investigator/facilitator > The monitoring team(s) should constitute 33% women > The evaluation team(s) should constitute 33% women > Cases of compensation to women should be handled with care and concern considering their non- forward nature of interacting. > All compensations and assistances would be paid in a joint account in the name of both the spouses; except in the case of women headed households and women wage earners. > Preference shall be given to the local women in the constructional activities > Provide all the facilities for the welfare of women and children in construction camps as listed in the chapter on Construction Camps. > Special measures to be taken in restricting -abuse of women and child labour in the construction camps/activities as explained in section 17.1.6. 10.1.7 WOMEN PARTICIPATION WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS It is imperative to bring the issue of women's development in the process of socio-economic uplift within the scope of the RAP for UPSRP. Encouraging women's participation in development projects is policy being followed by the GOI. The GOI has earmarked the year 2001 as the year of empowerment of women. Involving women meaningfully at all levels of the project therefore, you will show a greater commitment to the nation-wide goals. Women are involved in the project anyway. However, most of the times, they are on the negatively impacted side. Following is the account of the ways women are affected and/or involved in the project. * Women constitute almost half of the PAPs. * Women headed families are addressed in the RAP as vulnerable group. While 84 women headed families will be affected by the project, due to impact on residential or commercial properties. There is possibility that the numbers might increase. * It is expected that women labourers will be engaged as contract labourers during the construction period. Experiences (elsewhere in India) show that women constitute 25-40% of the semi-skilled and unskilled workforce in road construction contracts. However, women are seldom, if ever, involved in the road contraction industry at managerial levels. As per the R&R policy of UPSRP, as well as the larger perspective, it is important to involve women in several stages and levels in the project. The scope for involvement ought to be concrete; otherwise betterment will not be achieved. Women will need to be integrated in the project as full-fledged participants, and not merely as beneficiaries, or bystanders. Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 242 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operotions Reseorch Group August 2003 Possible areas of Women Involvement The entitlement Framework of the UPSRP indudes provisions for participation of, and consultation with women during implementation of the RAP. These provisions are already in place. Without doubt, women need to be involved in the implementation of the RAP. The other areas of concem to the women and more readily addressed by them will be in managing health and hygiene issues at the construction camps (where there are possibilities of exploitation of women workforce, or children), and in managing the spread of highway related diseases. However, involvement of women is seen to be more important and as part of the long-term strategy than symbolic in UPSRP. Therefore, certain management positions will need to be occupied by the women in this project. The following proposals are made to involve women at various levels of the project Women as Managers in the NGOs Two NGOs (One NGO each for two packages) will be procured to implement the RAP in UPSRP. It is proposed that to quality to be considered and/or selected for such contracts, the NGOs must fulfil the following conditions. * That the NGOs must propose at least one woman as part of the key personnel. The proposed women key person shall be available to work at site for at least 50% of the duration of the contract.10 * That the women key persons, if selected for the contract, may be replaced during the period of contract, only with women key persons of equivalent qualifications and experience. * That the NGOs will depute a 'technical/professional' team to work at the site, which will consist at least 33% of women members. Junior support personnel and administrative staff will not be considered as 'technical/professional'. Given the experience during the preparation phase of the Third National Highway Project (TNHP) and UPSRP, and the initial implementation part of RAP in TNHP, these will not be difficult propositions. Women as Members of the Consultant' Teams It is proposed that the following studies will be undertaken, in UPSRP, by procuring consultants' services. * Mid term and Annual Monitoring of the RAP implementation. * End of the project, Evaluation of the RAP component of the project. * A benefit Monitoring study as part of Project Completion Report. As part of the project, there are possibilities of a few other consultancy assignments. It is proposed that in all these consultants' team, provisions similar to those in the areas of the NGOs should apply. Summarily, > That the consultants must propose women professionals for at least 33% of the positions of key personnel. The proposed women key professionals shall together constitute at least 33% of the person-month input for all the key personnel proposed in the contract, both at home office and at * project site. 9 AS part of the proposal, the NGOs are expected to undertake that all key persons will be available to work at the site for the duration stated.

As the table 11.1 clearly indicates, majority of such families are losing commercial properties.

They also have a negative impact on the socio- cultural systems of affected communities. The basic postulates of all developmental activities should be that no one is worse of than before the project. Restoration of pre-project levels of income is an important part of rehabilitating socio-economic and cultural systems in affected communities. To achieve this goal, preparation of IR programmes under Rehabilitation Action Plan should proceed exactly as it would have for any other economic development programme. IR schemes should be designed in consultation with the affected persons and they should explicitly approve the programme.

Out of a total of 2242 vulnerable families, 1818 families will be losing livelihood due to the proposed road widening. As the table shows, impact is more on families below poverty line than on scheduled population or women headed households. 12.2 Income Restoration Measures under R&R Policy The R&R policy has the following provisions for income restoration of those whose livelihood is getting affected: > If a person is losing source of income (wage earning- indirectly affected due to the employer being displaced), the individual is entitled for grant equivalent to minimum wages cakulated for 6 months. > Those losing commercial establishment and other income generating assets (other than agriculture land) are entitled for transitional allowance calculated at minimum wages (Rs 2000/- per month) for nine months. Such PAPs are also entitled for rental allowance of Rs 500 per month for a maximum period of 6 months apart from a lump sum Rs 1000/- towards shifting allowance. Vulnerable PAPs will get commercial plots (maximum up to the limit of 25 sq. m) free of cost. > Those losing income opportunity are eligible for grant calculated at minimum wages (Rs 2000/- per month) for a maximum period of six months. They are also entitled for training for skill upgradation. > Squatters are eligible for transitional allowance at minimum wages for 9 months, shifting allowance of Rs 1000/-, rental allowance of Rs 500/- per month for six months and training for skill upgradation. > Encroachers are eligible for transitional allowance calculated at minimum wages for 6 months and training for skill upgradation. However, vulnerable encroachers are eligible for compensation of structure at replacement cost. > Vulnerable PDPs are eligible for economic rehabilitation grant calculated at minimum one year income level as determined by Planning Comniission, Government of India. Government of Uttor Pradesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow, India 258 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase Il) DHV in association with Operotions Research Group August 2003 P If 50 vendors are displaced from one location, there is a provision of a "vendor market" rent-free for first six months, and thereafter they would be collectively encouraged to purchase their market site. 12.3 Income Restoration Options Preferred byPAPs During the survey PAPs were specifically asked about their preference for rehabilitation in case they are affected / displaced by the proposed project. As table 12.4 below shows, over two fifth of the total affected PAPs opted for cash grant. Nearly 29% of the PAPs, primarily those running shops, opted for petty shops as they are already in the same avocation. Less than five percent of PAPs opted for employment with contractors during construction phase. However, educated PAPs demanded permanent employment either with PWD or contractors. Training for skill upgradation or activities allied to agriculture had very few takers. Over two fifth of the total respondent could not decide about the options. Income Restoration plan for eligible families have been given at the end of the chapter.

Each "entitled" person/family will be given an identity card, specify the identityof the person/family and the applicable entitlements (including the choicc of entitlements, wherever applicable). Identity Cards will be issued only after the verification exercise carried out by NGO is completed during the implementation stage. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 259 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 * Compensation for the loss of property at replacement value (in case of titleholders). * Compensation relocation support of the displaced titleholder families; * R&R assistance tot he non-titleholder affected/displaced families. * Livelihood and income restoration support and assistance to the families/persons belonging to the vulnerable group. For details, refer the Entitlement Framework for the UPSRP, given in this report. 124.2 DISPLACED FAMILIES Each displaced families in UPSRP are entitled to the following benefits, over and above the replacement cost of property. * Shifting allowance of Rs. 1000 * Transitional allowance (9 months for agricultural PDFs, if the residual land unviable and 3 months, if the residual land is viable2l, 9 months for non-agricultural PDFs). To be calculated equal to the minimum wage22 for 26 days in a month for the number of months applicable. * Economic rehabilitation grant (including grant for training in alternative vocation) for all * Grant for building structures (to be calculated as per the Indira Awas Yojana). * Productive asset grants. * Resettlement site (residential, commercial and homestead) provided that more than 25 PDFs are willing to move together to the site, complete with all required amenities and infrastructure. The resettlement site is to be chosen in consultation with the PDPs. Moreover, further entitlements will accrue to the displaced families, depending on their classification, titleholder, non-titleholder, or vulnerable. 124.3 NON TITLEHOLDER DISPLACED FAMILIES A total of 5425 squatters and encroachers will be affected by the project. The vulnerable encroachers will receive replacement cost of their (building) structures. This will have the right to salvage material from their structures, and will be notified in time of remove their assets. Agricultural encroachers would receive the value of lost crop (plus assistance towards seeds for next year's cropping) in case they are not informed adequately advance. However, during the census of PAPs, no agricultural encroacher was recorded. The vulnerable group encroachers will be entitled to the additional support mechanisms and assistance, as per the entitlement framework. Squatters will be entitled to receive replacement cost of their (building) structures. They will have the right to salvage material from their structures, and will be notified in time of remove their assets. They would receive the value of lost crop (plus assistance towards seeds for next year's cropping) in case they are not informed adequately in advance. Squatters will also be entitled for facilitation/access to training, which includes income-generating assistance. The vulnerable group squatters will be entitled to the additional benefits applicable to that group, as per the Entitlement Frarnework. The tenants will receive residual deposit with the owner, if any, and replacement value for any structure erected by the tenant, if any (both to be deduced from the payment to the owner). 21 A residual plot of land less than the 'marginal land holding' (0.5ha of irrigated land or I ha of non-irrigated land) is unviable, as per the Entitlement Framework of UPSRP. 22 Minimum wage varies across the area. The applicable rate, as determined by the Labour Ccmimissioner, in each district to be used in calculating the minimum wage. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 260 Project Co-ordinating Consultonts (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan {Phase tI) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 1244 VULNERABLE DISPLACED FAMILIES One of the entitlements in UPSRP is the provision of residential/conunercial/agricultural plots for the vulnerable group displaced families, free of cost (at the resettlement site). If the eligible PDFs do not want such sites, and prefer cash compensation, then adequate assistance towards developing the required amenities and infrastructure will be provided by the UPSRP, as assistance. 124.5 HOST COMMUNITY Since there will not be any large-scale displacement in UPSRP, the size of resettlement sites, if any, will tend to be small. It is anticipated that there will not be much pressure on the host communities. However, in terms of creation of additional infrastructure, the project will provide certain community facilities, and will compensate/enhance facilities/resources affected by the project. 12.46 REPLACEMENT OF AMENITIES All amenities affected will be either conserved or replaced by the project. While replacing the amenities, particularly those used as a common resource with no restriction of access, development of the surrounding site wiL be given due consideration. (For example, while replacing hand pumps or tube wells, drainage and access path of the immediate surrounding will be improved, and sitting/washing facilities will be provided, irrespective of the fact that at present there is no proper access, or that the areas surrounding the extremely muddy, or there is no associated facility whatsoever). Plans, designs, drawings have been prepared for replacement of all these amenities, along with technical specifications (including specifications for material and workmanship) and biL of quantities have been prepared. These will be part of the main civil works contract to be supervised by supervision consultants (selected through intemational competitive bidding). 124.7 ROADSIDE FACILITIES The project has provided for a number of roadside amenities, and facilities for local people. Footpaths, lined and/or covered roadside drainage at the built-up areas, etc. constitute some of these facilities. All facilities have been provided (incorporated in the design, bill of quantities, and specifications of the main civil works contract) on " as required " basis, as no constraint were placed on the provision of these facilities on financial or other grounds. For further details, refer the Detailed Engineering Design Reports of the individual contract packages. 12.4.8 SAFErY OF THE COMMUNITIES The project has been designed to minimise the safety risks possessed by the existing and proposed developments on the community. The fast moving traffic has been segregated from the local or community level traffic. Safety barriers, signage has been provided, along with many other elements. 124.9 EVALUATION OF THE IMPACTS ON THE HOST COMMUNITY A study on the impact on the Quality of Life will be commissioned by UPSRP during the second year of the construction period. As part of this study, the host communities will be covered. The various aspects to be covered in the host community study will include (i) population, gender issues, ethnic composition, occupation pattern, educational status and social composition (caste, religion etc.), (ii) land use pattern, land tenure systems, production systems (iii) the regional and local level economic environment and the impact due to the project, and (iv) the social and cultural environment and the change-process taking place due to the project, impacting the host community. Government of Uttor Pradesh, PubliC Works Department, Lucknow. India 261 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttor Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plon (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 12.410 TITLE HOLDER DISPLACED FAMILIES The non-vulnerable titleholder PDFs wiU be compensated at the replacement value of the properties if the legally paid compensation falls short of the replacement cost; the difference will be paid by the project as assistance. Al agricultural PAPs are entitled for further benefits, such as; > Additional assistance towards severance of agriculture land, calculated as 10% of the replacement value for the area acquired. > Additional assistance towards acquiring the unviable residual land > AU fees, taxes and other charges levied on the PDFs for property transaction due to the project under relevant laws, will be paid by the project. 12.5 Inter-Agency Linkages for Income Restoration Majority of the eligible families for income restoration earn their livelihood through petty businesses or cultivation (primarily smal and marginal), and therefore, it is imperative to ensure that the PAPs are able to reconstruct their livelihood. The NGOs engaged in the implementation of the RAP wiUl ensure that the PAPs are facilitated to obtain plots near their existing habitation to minimise disruption to their social network and normal work pattem. For Income restoration it is important that available skils with the PAPs is identified and further upgraded. During the survey, PAPs were specifically asked about the skill they posses other than the one related to their current occupation. However, none of the PAPs possessed any skill, which can be further upgraded through training. Hence, NGO contracted for implementation will have to conduct a survey among the PAPs with options of various skills related to the resource base of the area and available market (with proper forward and backward linkages) and accordingly select trades for training. Based on the training, NGO wiW identify income-generating activities for sustainable economic opportunities. This would include establishing forward and backward linkages for marketing and credit facility. NGOs in consultation with the PAPs, R&R Coordinator of PWD, district administration and other stakeholders in institutional financing and marketing federations will prepare micro-plans for IR activities. In case of upgrading agriculture productivity, the training on technical know-how wiU be arranged as per the choices of the target group population. In case of creation of alternative livelihood schemes, felt * needs of the target group population wiU be prioritised through people's participation. Further, these options will be tested for their viability against availability of skills, resource base of the area and available appropriate technology. Suitable alternative livelihood schemes will be chosen finaUly, where training on skiUl upgradation, capital assistance, and assistance in the form of backward-forward linkages can be provided for making these pursuits sustainable for the beneficiaries or the target groups. - A comprehensive support system to the PAPs wiUl ensure income security. The project will work as a facilitator to the people in the enterprise (but will not act as providers for each and every livelihood opportunity). The PAPs are required to participate in developing feasible long- term income generating schemes. The long- term options are expected to be developed during the implementation of the RAP and also supported by the government assistance. Government of India along with the state governments runs various poverty alleviation programmes through DRDA. Participation of PAPs in those schemes will be helpful for short- term IR gains. PWD Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public WQrks Department, Lucknow. India 262 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 and partnering NGO can tie up with DRDA and help/facilitate PAPs to participate in poverty alleviation programmes. A brief description of such programmes is given below: Government of India's Poverty Alleviation Schemes (1) Swaranjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana The objective is to generate additional gainful employment for the unemployed population in rural areas, where preference to be given to scheduled population including tribal, women and freed bonded labourers Other such wage employment scheme is Employment Assurance Scheme (EAS), which is implemented during agriculture lean seasons. Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojana (JGSY) is another scheme, which aims at development of rural areas, which eventually would lead to higher productivity and thus would eliminate poverty. (2) Million Wells Scheme (MWS) Where open well is not possible, owing to geological factors, construction of other minor irrigation works like irrigation tanks, water harvesting structures and development of land of SCs, Srs and free bonded labourers. (3) Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) Under this scheme dwelling units free of cost to poor families of SCs, STs, free bonded labourers and the non SC/ST below poverty line family. Under the R&R policy of UP State Roads Project, housing facilities to be provided to squatters and encroachers will be in line with the norms of IAY. (4) Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) The objective of IRDP is enable identified rural poor families to cross the poverty line by providing them productive assets and inputs in the primary, secondary or tertiary sector through financial assistance by way of government subsidy and term credit from financial institution. Of the total families assisted, 50 percent beneficiary should be schedule tribes or castes. (5) Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission and Rural Sanitation The programme objective is to ensure safe drinking water supply of 40 litres per capita per day for human beings and an additional 30 litres per capita per day for cattle in Desert Development Programme Areas. At least 10 percent of the Central Government funds are only for the benefit of schedule tribes. Apart from these programmes there are other programmes such as DWCRA, NSAP, NOAPS. Supply of improved tool kits, FRRP, SEEUY, etc. which can always be utilised by the PAPs. However, for gaining access to these programmes, resettlement sites either should be declared as revenue villages or should be attached to some revenue village. The ensuing sections deals with the probable short and long-term IR schemes. 12.6 Steps in Income Restoration 126.1 INFORMATION ON ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF PAPS Basic information on IR activities of PAPs will be available from the census and socio-economic surveys. Information from base line surveys will be available on features of economic activities of PAPs under two categories, viz., * Land based economic activities * Non-land economic activities * Total income of PAPs from various sources Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 263 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operotions Research Group August 2003 Based on this information IR activities can be planned. IR activities are of two types: (1) Short term; and (2) Long term. The ensuing section describes both TR schemes. Short Term IR activities Short term IR activities means restoring PAPs' income during periods immediately before and after relocation. Such activities will focus on the following: * Ensuring that adequate compensation is paid before relocation * Relocation and transit allowances * Providing short term, welfare based grants and allowances such as: * One time relocation allowance * Free transport to resettlement areas or assistance for transport * Free or subsidised items . Transitional allowances or grants until adequate income is generated, special allowances for vulnerable groups * With consideration of PAPs skills and needs, promoting PAP access to project related employment opportunities such as: o Work under the Main Investment Project o Work on relocation teams (e.g., driver, food provision, etc.) O Work on resettlement sites, if any (e.g. construction on, transport, maintenance, etc. Long Term IR Activities PAP should participate in developing a range of feasible long-term IR options. Long-term options are affected by the scale of resettlement which may affect the feasibility of various non land based and land based IR options. The long-term options are government financed, therefore no separate budget is required. However, in R&R budget provision has been made for the expenses to be incurred towards the coordination between project and concerned departments for dove tailing of poverty alleviation schemes. The project officials will coordinate with government (district administration), including tribal development and social welfare departments, to assure PAPs access to all schemes for improving IR services. Project financed programmes should include a specific time frame for handing over the project to local administration at the end of a stipulated period. Availability and access to existing programmes should be sought for all PAPs. Long Term IR activities will be generated once the census surveys and consultation get over. IR activities will be generated in consultation with the community. Mechanism to dovetail existing government poverty alleviation programmes will be developed in consultation with the community and officials of district administration and District Rural Development Agency (DRDA). 126.2 CATEGORIES OF IMPACTS Project induced displacement may lead to loss or diminished income for Project Affected Person (PAPs). The main categories of impacts are as follows: * Loss of agriculture land in part or full * Loss of commercial establishments (permanent) * Loss of temporary commercial structure or mobile vendor (Squatters) * Loss of livelihood (Commercial tenants or helping hands, agriculture labours) Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 264 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase ll) DHV in associatian with Operations Research Group August 2003 Projects like road development involve acquiring linear strips of land; as such the impacts are not expected to be significant. However, mitigation measures need to be planned and implemented however insignificant the impacts may be. The best way to tackle loss of farmland in part or full is to help the concerned PAP to buy equivalent farmland in a nearby area using the land compensation received. Land for land has been found to be the best sustainable option for Income Restoration. This option can only be exercised when a PAP has lost a significant amount of land; it would be impossible and inadvisable to replace small strips of land. The compensation received can be deposited in blocked bank accounts. The interest accruing will supplement their income from other sources. The money can only be released for buying replacement land. It is important to see that the compensation money is not frittered away for consumption expenditure or paying off loans especially for the vulnerable sections of PAPs - the more well off can be exempted from this provision and directly paid in cash. The land compensation will be paid at replacement value and will be sufficient for buying replacement land. Loss of Permanent Commercial Structure is a more complicated problem since the complementary issue of retaining the present customer base is to.be simultaneously tackled. There is also the problem of tenants and owners with a majority of structures being occupied by tenants. The required mitigation would involve re-constructing the commercial structures in an adjacent area so that the present customer base is retained. The ways and means of achieving this together with the ownership of the new structure also needs to be defined. While the project authority can acquire the required land and construct the structures for allotment, a more practical way would be to let the PAPs handle their own replacement structures with the guidance and support of the PWD. Regarding ownership, the status quo can be maintained i.e. ownership remains with the owner while the tenant occupies it As in the previous case, the compensation money can be deposited in blocked bank accounts to be released only for constructing or buying the replacement structure. Since the construction involves different activities, the money can be released in four instalments, coinciding with pre-determined stages in the construction activity. Loss of commercial space (for temporary structures and mobile vendors) should be given utmost importance since this involves vulnerable sections of the PAPs. They also need to be given alternative space in an adjacent area for carrying on their trade or vocation. The temporary structure can be shifted to the new location and the mobile vendor can get stationed there. Needless to mention, the PWD has to use its good offices with the local authorities (i.e. Municipality or Panchayat) for getting the alternative space. While mitigation measures for specific impacts are discussed above, there is also the general impact of a disturbance upon displacement in the life and livelihood of PAPs. They need to be compensated through payment of a Maintenance Allowance. The income restoration cannot be fully achieved by using the compensation amount; there can be a provision of rehabilitation grant at least for the vulnerable sections of PAPs to enable them reach or improve upon their former standard of living. The Draft Policy document also highlights this issue by acknowledging that the PAPs should be assisted in improving or at minimum regaining their former status of living at no cost to themselves. 12.7 Alternative Individual Income Restoration Scheme 12.7.1 BASIS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVE IR SCHEME Keeping in view the resource base of the EPs and also the socio-economic characteristics and preferences, PWD and the NGO contracted for the implementation will have to chalk out individual IR schemes. Other factors to be considered are: * Education level of PAPs * Skill possession Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 265 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 * Likely economic activities in the post displacement period * Extent of land left * Extent of land purchased * Suitability of economic activity to supplement the income * Market potential and marketing facilities "The best option is to allow the EP to continue its former occupation". However, during any development programme, occupations always change. An exhaustive list of possible IR options are given below: Table 12.5 riteria for Altemative IR Schemes IR Option Requirement a) Land PAPs are physically relocated and are primarily agriculturists It is adequately available There is transferable title Land is of good quality Land development needs can be covered by the project PAPs are not exposed to market economics b) Cash EP negatively impacted but not relocated Land is unavailable in adequate quantity and quality PAP prefer cash to land Cash can be held in joint account PAP's occupations are diverse PAP exposed to cash economy Interest ensuring deposits to be released when feasible IR activity is defined c) Small business PAP familiar with cash Demand for goods/services Sustained capital and working capital is available lThere is local or project finance and capacity to provide training Business builds on/uses existing skill of the PAP Local markets are not adversely affected by project activities d) Continuing Reasonable time and money required for access to employment from previous new sites employment Project assistance for previous and/or maintenance of other facilities Preference for PAPs Work is available in main investment project in Employment Clear eligibility criteria are established PAPs are linked to existing government job programmes (like Maharashtra legislation reserving 5% of government jobs for PAPs) There is a good coordination between project and government authorities The PAPs will participate in developing a range of feasible long-term Income Restoration schemes. These will be developed during the implementation of the project and would be financed by project. PWD will work with NGO and liaison with the district administration to dovetail government's poverty alleviation schemes. The micro plans developed by the implementing authority will indicate the type of scheme each family has opted. The grants received for economic rehabilitation will be used for purchase of assets. The EPs will receive training for acquisition of new skills or upgradation of old skills for the activity selected by them. Government of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 266 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 127.2 NON LAND BASED IR SCHEMES Since land is scarce and not all PAPs are agriculturists, non-land based IR schemes becomes all the more important The non-land based IR schemes could be: Allied Agriculture Activities Under allied agriculture activities, various IR options are available viz., dairy, poultry, goatery, sheep rearing, piggery, etc. PAPs who are agriculturist can take up any of these options. These will require training, which can be imparted by Khadi Village Industries Commission (KVIC) / District Dairy Development Authority (DDDA) and milk route for daily milk collection can be extended by local milk federation. Petty Traders Under this scheme, the available options are grocery shop, vegetable & fruit shop, stationary, clothe, tea & snacks, ready-made garments, beetle shop etc. PAPs those who are already in the trade and business are suitable for these activities. Implementing NGO will have to decide on type of shops to be established as per demand. Skill related Schemes The options available under this scheme are tailoring, carpentry, masonry, gold smith, black smith, motor winding, cycle/motor cycle/auto repair, driving (auto/Matador/etc.), Television/Tape records/Watch repairing, Pottery, Leather works, etc. PAPs those who are in such trades can undergo training for skill upgradation to supplement their annual income. District Industries Centre or Khadi Village Industries Board/Commission or Industrial Training Institutes imparts training in such trades. Training can also be imparted through professional and competent outside agency especially hired for the purpose. Others Others primarily include loan for various agriculture implements to increase productivity viz., pump sets, dug well, bore well, bullock cart, etc. PAPs those who are into agriculture and do not have any irrigation facilities can avail such loans. Such loans are given by bank after District Rural Development Authority processes the applications. The implementation of above-mentioned activities requires organisation of credit camps. Extending financial credit support is an important component of non-land based IR schemes. It requires organisation of credit camps for EPs. Local government officials, NGOs and PAP representatives apart from PWD officials, will attend these camps. The purpose of the camps would be to allow local financial institutions to inform participants of credit options and how to avoid procedural delays. All formalities related to processing of applications for credit assistance will be completed at these camps. For these kinds of camps PWD along with NGO, will have to coordinate closely with the Lead Bank managers and other commercial banks operating in the district. 12.8 Training One of the strategies for economic sustenance of the PAPs is to help them improve their production level or to impart new skills/up grade skills through training. As quite a significant number of PAPs are dependent on agriculture and others have low skill endowment, training becomes an important component of IR. For PAPs who intend to diversify their economic activity, suitable income restoration schemes will be identified on individual basis and training need would be assessed. Besides training in scheme specific skills, general entrepreneurship development will also form part of the training programme, mainly to improve the management capabilities of EP. Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 267 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase il) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 The Training wiL be organised in the plan period itself. The NGO contracted for the implementation of RAP wiL be assigned this task. Besides, the training are regularly conducted by District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) through its programme names Training of Rural Youths for Self Employment (TRYSEM), training programmes organised by other government agencies will also be availed. The past experiences have shown that roughly three-fourth of the PAPs require training. It wiL be the responsibility of the PWD to ensure that PAPs receives, training in desired trade. The NGO contracted will act as a facilitator and training will be imparted either by the government agencies such as DIC, KVIC, ITDA, etc. or a professional and competent outside agency. The local Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) can be approached for training. 12.9 Institutions The Institutions for IR schemes include PWD, local government staff, NGO and PAP groups. District Level Committee will facilitate with District Rural Development Agency and other line departments to give priority to PAPs under various poverty alleviation schemes. The Social Development and Resettlement Committee (ESDRC) should have strong links with local government development agencies through coordination committee. Coordination Committee: The coordination committee wil be formed at project & district level, having representation of PAPs, local government staff, PWD & NGO. The Committee will oversee the design of appropriate IR Strategies. The formation of coordination committee should riot be influenced by which agency is funding the project. 12.10 Monitoring of IR Schemes The monitoring of IR schemes wil be carried out along with the monitoring of other components of RAP by an outside agency contracted for the purpose. The contract will specifically provide for regular (every six months) monitoring of income restoration of PAPs. The monitoring will be carried out based on economic indicators. Vulnerable PAPs who lose their livelihood due to the project will be assisted in alternative economic rehabilitation schemes and vocational training for skill upgradation as per the requirement of suggested economic scheme. 12.1 1 Plan for income restoration Table 12.6 Income Restoration Plan -, 1 of ;.

Timely establishment and involvement of appropriate R and R institutions would significantly facilitate achievement of the objectives of the R&R Programme. This document reflects an institutional assessment and provides a strategy for developing required implementation capacity and minimising risks. Capacity building and training are co-ordinated with the project implementation schedule to ensure that skilled staff is available to implement the RAP without delay in civil works. The main R&R institutions would include: * Official Agencies . PWD * World Bank *- Local Administration * Line Departments * District Level Coordination Committee * NGO/CBO * Training Institutions * Grievance Redress Cell * Monitoring & Evaluation Agency 13.2 The Process PWD will focus effort in three critical areas to commence RAP implementation: (a) To initiate the process, orientation and awareness seminars will be organised for the PWD and other RAP implementers (b) To establish a Environment, Social Development and Resettlement Cell (c) NGOs with experience in social development and a track record in resettlement and rehabilitation will be partners in RAP implementation. (d) To establish Coordination Committee with representatives from local self-government, PAPs and implementing NGO. The objective of this committee is to coordinate between various implementing agencies. In addition PCC will provide technical assistance in resettlement and rehabilitation planning during the transition to project and RAP implementation. The institutional context of resettlement in the project is reviewed below and major features of RAP implementation are described in sections that follow. Effective RAP implementation will require institutional relationships and responsibilities, rapid organisational development and collaborative efforts by PWD, State Government, partner NGO and affected population. The ESRDC should have representation of other line department's viz., revenue, forest, public health, rural engineering, etc. The responsibility of co-ordination lies with R&R Coordinator. The ESRDC will establish operational links within PWD and with other agencies of government involved in project-induced resettlement. It will bridge the distance between the project Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India 274 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase nI) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 and project affected persons and communities. It will provide the means and mechanisms for co- ordinating the delivery of the compensation and assistance entitled to those who wil suffer loss. ESRDC will link the project with state government agencies, provide Liaison with PWD field units and impacted communities, establish- district level committees to co-ordinate social development and resettlement operations in the field and also to assist NGO partners It will also engage required training services, oversee a grievance redress process and actively monitor RAP implementation. On behalf of PWD, the ESDRC will assume the responsibility for representing the social impact and resettlement components of the project for environment clearance. The ESDRC will also be responsible for disseminating this information to the public and providing additional opportunities for public comment.

Tne senior most assistant engineer in the division will be overall incharge of the internal monitoring of sociaW and environmental issues in the division as a whole and will report to the Head office. Amiong government agencies, the revenue department will have the most important role. While the responsibility for land acquisition and payment of compensation for land acquired (including properties there on) lies with the Revenue Department, the ESDRC has to assume responsibility for co- ordinating various matters with the Revenue Department so that both physical possession of land acquired and payment of compensation is not unduly delayed. The responsibility for income restoration and replacement of common property resources would fully be with the ESDRC along with the nodal NGO. The ESDRC will be consist of Project Director, R&R and Environmental Coordinators of PWD (of the rank of Assistant Engineer) other officers of PWD responsible for implementation of RAP at district level. The ESDRC will have a flat organisational structure with the subject matter specialist working nearly independently under the supervision of a location specific co-ordinator. Since the Revenue -Department has district - wise jurisdiction, the co-ordinators can also be appointed for each district. The structure of the staffing will be at two levels; (1) ESDRC with three people, PD, UPSRP as head, R&R and Environmental Coordinators of PWD and their district level counterparts. (2) In each contract, the R&R and Environmental coordinators of PWD will be assisted by their counterparts from districts. This district-wise separation can be maintained for all issues so that proper co-ordination can be done with the concerned authorities. Land acquisition details and rehabilitation action plans should also be segregated district-wise for all road stretches. The district ESDRC Co-ordinator can be given the necessary mandate for proper and adequate coordination with all authorities. It is necessary that the ESDRC be staffed in all concerned districts upon completion of the census and socio-economic survey so that the ESDRC can be involved in the consultation and counselling Phase Itself.

Contractor Wil carry out execution as required by the EMP; will monitor the pollution sources on site; will construct ._________________________ mitigation and enhancement measures 13.3 Need for NGO/CBO The relocation disturbs the present activities of PAPs and therefore there is a need to establish and stabilise their economic living. While all tasks relating to Land Acquisition is taken care by the Land Acquisition Officer and his staff, the implementation of RAP is the responsibility of the ESDRC under PWD. The NGO will help in implementing various components of the RAP, particularly the use of compensation and rehabilitation assistance for more productive purposes like purchase of land, self- employment, etc. Its involvement is all the more important since there are no social community organisations among the PAPs which otherwise could have taken lead in this regard. Being new to the area of working with PAPs, the selected NGO will have to work directly under the ESDRC Co-ordinator who will be defacto in charge for implementation of RAP. Thus implementation becomes joint responsibility of PWD and NGO. 13.4 Role of NGO Resettlement relates to human aspects and economic rehabilitation requires human resources development consisting of education, training, awareness generation, etc. In absence of any sociologist / anthropologist, NGO will be involved to assist PWD in implementation of RAP. The NGO will help educating PAPs on the proper utilisation of compensation and rehabilitation grant and help them in getting financial assistance, if required, under various subsidy related development programmes. It will also organise training programmes to impart required skill for such PAPs who would prefer to go for self-employment schemes. Specifically, the tasks of the NGO will be to: > develop rapport with PAPs and between PAPs and PWD > verification of PAPs Government of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 277 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase II) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 > post design consultations with the community > assess the level of skills and efficiency in pursuing economic activities, identify needs for training and organise programmes either to improve the efficiency and/or to impart new skills. > assist PAP in receiving rehabilitation entitlement due to them > motivate and guide PAP for proper ufilisation of benefits under R&R policy provisions; > facilitate purchase of agriculture land in negotiating price and settling at a reasonable price or expedite the same through Land Purchase Committee. > assist PAPs in obtaining benefits from the appropriate development programmes. > help PAPs in increasing their farm income through provision of irrigation facility or improving farm practices, and > ensure marketing of produce particularly those under self-employment activities. > Complete the consultation at the community level and provide support by describing the entitlements to the EPs and assisting them in their choices > Accompany and represent the EPs at the Grievance Committee meeting. > Assist the EPs to take advantage of the existing government housing schemes and employment and training schemes that are selected for use during the project, and > Carry out other responsibilities as required and identified. In the context of inmplementing of RAP, it is important that NGO, which is genuine and committed to the task entrusted, is selected. An NGO with local presence is, however, more suitable hence would be preferred. The NGO may be contracted on specified terms and conditions with proper fixation of financial accountability. The payment to NGO will be linked to the performance of the task assigned and the time period. The payment will be arranged on quarterly basis to be released on certification of completing the previous task. The monitoring of R&R programme will also include the performance of NGO. The NGO services will be required for implementation period for which provisions have been provided in the plan.. Simultaneously steps can be taken for promoting location specific Community Based Organisations (CBOs) of PAPs to handle resettlement planning, implementation and monitoring. These groups can be promoted for each adversely affected settlement/villages or a group of contagious villages. Until and unless sufficient institutional capacity is built amongst the PAPs, so that they can act and react as a group, participatory planning and implementation of good re-establishment solutions is nearly impossible. Resettlement negotiation, if carried out individually with all displaced families, is both uneven and time consuming. It favours the good bargainers over the bad bargainers and as bargaining capacity is directly related to income levels - favours the more affluent over the poorer and more vulnerable sections of the displaced population. This can be minimnised by organising homogenous groups of displaced persons to handle resettlement negotiations together with participatory planning and implementation of re-establishment solutions. An advertisement in local daily was published for short-listing of NGO (Annex 12.1) for implementation of RAP. A draft Terms of Reference for NGO is provided in Annex 12.2. List of NGOs contacted during the survey is given in Annex 12.3. 13.5 District Level Committees RAP will be implemented through District Level Committees that will be established in each district where the project is active. These committees will provide co-ordinating nodes for land acquisition and compensation, relocation and rehabilitation, distribution of project provided assistance and PAPs' access to most government programmes. ESDRC will service district committees with field staff aLocated to multi-district construction contracts. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India 278 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase l1) DHV in association with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 District wise RAP implementation parallels corresponding government administrative infrastructure and organisation and provides the best basis for co-ordination with both local government authorities and field offices of line departments and agencies. The committee would meet regularly to review the progress of land acquisition. The committee would also decide on the replacement value on the basis of methodology described in RAP. The committee would include; District Magistrate, Tahsildar of concerned tahsil, Pradhans of Panchayat Samitis, Block Development Officers, Sarpanchs of affected villages, representative of revenue departments' land acquisition wing, -line departments, PWD, people's representatives, NGO and representatives of affected population. 13.6 Training and Capacity Building Establishing sufficient implementation capacity to launch and carry out those components of project resettlement that must be completed before civil works. To enhance capabilities, ESDRC staff can be sent on exposure visits to other projects with good resettlement programmes as well as sponsored for training courses in Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R). A two weeks course in R&R is conducted by the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) in Hyderabad. The training would also cover techniques in conducting participatory rural appraisal for micro planning, conducting census and socio-economic surveys, dissemination of information, community consultation and progress monitoring and evaluation. Training Modules: Following training modules will be followed during initial and repeat training sessions of UPPWD staff (both at head office and at field level) and NGO staff. 1. Overview of social issues in UPSRP: Social issues; methodology folowed for SIA; entitlement framework and detailed R&R policy 2. Land Acquisition: Legal and operational issues; LA Act - 1894; The Uttar Pradesh Land Acquisition (Determination of Award by Agreement) Rules - 1997; LA issues in UPSRP 3. Resettlement: Issues pertaining to planning and preparation for relocation; implementation issues; factors necessary for identification and finalisation of resettlement areas. 4. Rehabilitation: Issues in economic rehabilitation; factors necessary for identification and finalisation of alternative economic rehabilitation schemes; training needs. 5. Public Consultations: Issues to be discussed during various stages of project viz., preparation, implementation and post implementation; public consultation in project delivery; techniques of public consultations. 6. Social Impact Assessment: Definition; steps; output; required surveys viz., screening, census, socio- economic, verification, etc.; issues to look at for preparation of entitlement framework; institutional capacity. 13.7 Areas of Capacity Building PWD needs to build their capacity in the following areas: Land Acquisition Though no land acquisition was required for Phase I, major land acquisition will take place in Phase II in view of two bypasses of Phase I and two additional bypasses of Phase II. LA generally is a long drawn and demanding process. The existing strength of PWD for this purpose is too small. Currently, Project Director is responsible for every activity and arranging for completion of all formalities and procedural requirements for LA wiL also be Project Director's responsibility. R&R Coordinator of PWD will assist him. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 279 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan iPhose 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 The Project Director, apart from timely acquisition of land is also responsible for number of other important components of pre-construction work. Though revenue department of state government will do the acquisition, it will require constant follow up. Hence the responsibility wil come on R&R Coordinator. Among other pressing assigrunents viz., identification and verification of PAFs, Issuing Identity cards, development of resettlement sites, etc, R&R Coordinator wil also be responsible for regular follow up of land acquisition. In light of the above, it would be important to address the folowing: * The procedural requirements have to be fulfilled. An official thoroughly conversant with the procedural requirements should be in position to co-ordinate the LA process. * For better co-ordination, the officer responsible has to spend sufficient time at the site. To enable better follow up the officer should be of sufficiently high rank. * The procedural requirements have to be formalised and documented for the benefit of all projects concerned. * Ensuring timely land acquisition is demanding requirement and requires ful time involvement of an officer, at least during the first six months of the project Women Participation It is imperative to bring the issue of women's development in the process of socio-economic uplift within the scope of RAP. Encouraging women's participation in development projects is a policy being foHowed by Government of India. The GOI has earmarked the year 2001 as the Year of Empowerment of Women. Involving women meaningfuUy at all levels of the project will show greater commitment to the nation wide goals. Women constitute over two fifth of the total affected population, though number of women headed families are very few in Phase I roads. Possible areas of Women involvement include managing health and hygiene issues at the construction camps and in controUing the spread of highway diseases. Similarly, it may be specified in the Terms of Reference of NGO contracted for the implementation to have at least 33% of the total person months for women. A similar provision can be made in the TOR of external agency appointed for monitoring of RAP implementation. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department.

Various provision under LA act enable aggrieved EPs at different stages of LA to represent their cases to Land Acquisition Officer or even refer to court for redress and seek higher compensation. The most commom reason for delay in implemenation of projects is grievance of people losing land. UPSRP - I has already faced this problem. Considering this, GRC will be formed much in advance. It is further suggested that LAO & RRO should hold a meeting at a fixed date every month to hear the grievances of EPs. Moreover, Lok Adalats can be held for quick disposals of cases. However, R&R policy of Government of Uttar Pradesh has a provision of Grievance Redress Committee to be headed by District Magistrate of respective districts. Members of the committee: Apart from District Magistrate as head of the committee at district level, the committee will comprise of representatives of two local NGOs, representative of people (viz., Member of Parliament, Member of Legislative Assembly, etc), representatives of blocks, districts, line departments & affected persons. At central level, Project Director of Project Implementation Unit will head the committee. Meetings and decision-making process of the committee: It is suggested that Grievance cell shall meet regularly (at least once a month) on a pre-fixed date (preferably on first 7th day of the month). The committee will fix responsibilities to implement the decisions of the committee. This will not only help proper assessment of the situation but also in suggesting corrective measures at the field level itself. The committee shall deliver its decision within a month of the case registration. The Divisional Commissioner of the area shall hear appeal against the decision of the grievance redress committee. 14.2 Functions of the Committee The functions of the grievance committee shall be > To provide support for the EPs on problems arising out LA/property acquisition > To record the grievances of the EPs, categories and prioritise and solve them within a month. > To inform PWD of serious cases within an appropriate time frame > To report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievance & decision of PWD. > To prioritise cases based on following criteria: (i) cases pertaining to the land and structures of displaced persons (ii) cases pertaining to the land and structures of adversely affected PAPs (iii) cases pertaining to the land and structures of partially affected PAPs Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 281 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase IQ DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Flow Chart 1 Grievance Redress Mechanism (For R&R): Flow Chart ENTITLED PERSONS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE R&R ASSISTANCE ; . ., . ; , . , . *D ~~~.4. . . , FILES COMPLAIN TO DIVISIONAL ~~ - - .s ~t LEVEL R8R COORDINATOR _... !, ~~-'". - . ; - i.- .R&RCOORDINATOR FAILS TO EP APPROACHES REDRESS EP'S GRIEVANCE GRIEVANCE REDRESS COMMITEE I..E prZ,!

Monitoring involves periodic checking to ascertain whether activities are going according to the plan. It provides the feed back necessary for project management to keep the programmes on schedule. By contrast, evaluation is essentially a summing up, the end of the project assessment of whether those activities actually achieved their intended aims. As per World Banks' Operational Directive 4.30 "Monitoring provides both working system for project managers and a channel for the resettles to make known their needs and their reactions to resettlement execution". Monitoring exercise will be undertaken both internally and externally. While R&R Coordinator of PWD on monthly basis will carry out the project's internal monitoring, an external agency will be appointed for third party monitoring. External agency will conduct monthly and quarterly monitoring and mid term, annual and end term evaluation of the project. Indicators, which will be monitored during the project, consist of two broad categories: * Process and output indicators or internal monitoring * Outcome/ impact indicators or external monitoring 15.2 Process and Output Indicators Monitoring of involuntary resettlement operations require in essence, an application of general project monitoring procedures and methods to the process accruing in resettlement but with particular attention to the specific high risks intrinsic in such operations. This means'monitoring of R&R requires certain specialised skills. Therefore a specialised group reporting to the PWD must carry out M&E. The conventional monitoring through government machinery often misses focus on certain vital aspects, which may otherwise be very important. Therefore R&R Coordinator at Lucknow in close coordination with his counterparts at division level will carry out regular monitoring and will produce monthly reports. The internal monitoring is a conventional monitoring of government related to physical factors such as, number of families affected, resettled, assistance extended infrastructure facilities provided, etc. and other financial aspects, such as compensation paid, grant extended, etc. The internal M&E must be simultaneous with the implementation of the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP). 1521 THE OBJECrIVES OF THE INTERNAL MONITORING The objectives of the internal monitoring are: * Daily Operations Planning (DOP) * Management and Implementation (M&I) * Operational Trouble shooting and Feedback (OTSF) The periodicity of internal monitoring could be daily or weekly depending on the issues and level. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 284 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 15.2 INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR INTERNAL MONITORING For internal monitoring following information will be required: * Individual files on each project affected person * Village Proforma * Action Plan and Progress reports 1523 MONITORING AND REPORTING SYSTEMS Crisis and day to day management and monitoring management will require its own improved action plans, regular coordination and onsite training sessions and an Management Information System as internal system. It also requires trouble-shooters and informal networks of feed back from the communities, NGOs, M&E agencies and other government bodies. Physical monitoring of movement and progress reporting of input stocks, finance and service resource in the system to ensure management and financing functions in a timely and effective manager. Monitoring and verification of the qualifiable progress of the resettlement programme to indicate the timeliness of the financial disbursements already agreed to and deviations from the critical path for over all project completion and the required integrated arrangements to resettle PAPs. 1524 EXTERNAL MONITORING Supervision Consultant will be responble for meaningful and realistic monitoring of R&R programmes on monthly and quarterly basis. The role of Supervision Consultants will not be fault finding but to act as a catalyst in smoothening the process of R&R and thus provide a helping hand in the proper implementation of rehabilitation programmes. It should also endeavour to bring the problem and difficulties faced by the PAPs to the notice of PWD so as to help in formulating corrective measures. However for annual, mid term and end term impact evaluation, an external agency will be appointed by PWD. Financial provisions have been made to appoint an external agency for M&E. As a feedback to the PWD and other concerned, the external agency should submit monthly and quarterly report on progress made relating to different aspect of R&R; A draft TOR for Impact Evaluation consultants is presented as Annex 14.1. 15.25 THE OBJECTIVES OF THE EXTERNAL MONITORING The objectives of the external monitoring are: * To track resettled and host population over time in order to document the restoration of incomes and standard of living. * Determine remedial action if required. * If income and standard of living of the PAPs has at least been restored and has not declined. . In case of host population, whether income and standard of living of host -population have not declined due to influence of resettlers * Whether resettlers and host population have re-integrated with each other.

Periodic evaluation of these would indicate where and when policy changes could occur or where deficiencies in implementation method or style are apparent. The boundaries of this assessment will need the agencies (M&E) to examine the multiplier effects and linkages outside of the project definition of affected people and areas. The formats for external monitoring have been provided in annex 14.2. The impact evaluation will be carried out after the implementation of RAP is over. This is never an easy matter to determine. Financial considerations often require an impact evaluation shortly before or after the project concludes. However, project continuous to evolve overtime. Therefore it is suggested, that if required, second impact evaluation be carried out after three to five years of project conclusion as retrofit survey. Impact evaluation will look at all the affected populations; self-relocatee; assisted resettled population; host population. Further this larger population will be further broken down into vulnerable segments of each population. Impact evaluation will be carried out on randomly selected segment of population. The external agency will submit quarterly report to the PWD. 15.3 Organisation Issues: Overall R&R Monitoring and Evaluation System Internal M&E Monitoring Focus: Operational Management Focus: Smooth and timely implementation of RAP Agency: Project Management Agency: Supervision Consultants Impact Evaluation Focus: Project goals and objectives Agency: External Impact Evaluation consultants MIS Grievance and Redress System Physical Financial Focus: Proejct Affected Families / Individuals Programme Planning Agency: NGO / Supervision Consultants / GRC Progress Reporting Feedback Scope Policy and objective * Planning Assumptions * Evaluation Operational Trouble Shooting * R&R package * Verification and Implementation on Design and Compensation and Evaluation Government of Uttar Prodesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow, India 286 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services tor Uttar Prodesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 Style Entitlement * Participation, Information .

While these activities have discrete components that can be put on a time line, there is a close inter relationship of each activity to the whole. The breakdown of each activity according to a specific time frame has been given for Phase I and II to assist Public Works Department in implementation of RAP at various stages. It is further cautioned that specific situation may require an increase in time, allotted to a task. Such situations includes, but not limited to local opposition; seasonal factors, social and economic concerns, training of support staff and financial constraints. Complementation Schedule will require detailed coordination between the project authorities and various line departments. Implementation plan has been spread over a period of five years for both phases. Implementation of both the phases will take three years each, but first year of phase II will overlap third year of phase I implementation. A simplified summary of the operational aspects of the implementation plan will be prepared when the project starts. It will be given to PWD, who along with a route wise selected NGOs will have to put the plan into action. 16.2 Implementation Procedure The implementation of the RAP will consist of four major stages: * Identification of cut-off date and notification for land acquisition as per Land Acquisition Act, 1894 * Verification of properties of EPs and estimation of their type and level of losses. * Preparation of EPs for relocation/rehabilitation (for both the phases) * Relocation and rehabilitation of the EPs (for both the phases) 16.3 Timing of resettlement The resettlement process must be completed by the start of civil works on the particular route. Requisite procedure will be developed by the PWD to carry out resettlement of PAPs located within the COI, before the civil work starts on any section of the project road. These people will be given at least two months notice to vacate their property before civil works begins. Stretches, which are free of encroachment and other encumbrances, will be handed over first to contractor. The timetable of stretches to be handed over to the contractor is given below. 16.4 Timing of legal possessions of land and eviction notice Though land acquisition was not required in Phase I, in Phase II, land acquisition will be required. A summary table has been given below indicating timings of steps of LA process under the act.

In most cases, the labour force will be supplied from outside by the contractors and will stay in the camps throughout the period of-construction. To meet the basic necessities of these mobile people, certain provisions should be made in the construction camps. The provisions enlisted here would be of use to all the residents of the construction camp with a special emphasis on women and children. The impact of a substantial migrant population in any area entails its own special concerns. However, few, if any, components of project planning address this critical issue, which has a real potential to create strife in the host community as well as in the labour force itself. An attempt has been made here to bring this issue into focus for implementation agencies as well as planners of future projects. Since the process of construction and hence the presence of problems associated is transient, the implications of such situations have largely been ignored. Even the RAPs tend to focus on the affected along the project corridor communities while the labourers are generally ignored. A part of the labour force engaged in construction of the highway will be local, but it is almost certain that the contractor will move in with here/is own gang and this will form the core of the labour force in use. The issues discussed in the subsequent sections begin with the assumption, that a substantial non-native labour force will come to work in the stretch where construction is in progress and move along as the road works progress.' The construction camp will be located 500 m down wind of the habitations. The site of the construction camp will be finalised in consultation with the local population and will need approval of the PWD. 17.2 Provisions Incorporated in UP State Roads Project As any other road construction project, UP SRP also has the following provisions inbuilt within the project, as part of the general conditions of contract, to ensure management of the project according to road construction standards and norms. 17.2.1 NORMALLY APPLICABLE LAWS Social and environmental issues during the road construction stage generally involve equity, safety and public health issues. The road construction agencies require to comply with laws of the land, which include inter alia, the following: > Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 (provides for compensation in case of injury by accident arising out of and during the course of employment). > Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (Gratuity is payable to an employee under the Act on satisfaction of certain conditions on separation if an employee has completed 5 years). > Employees PF and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1952 (provides for monthly contributions by the employer and workers with a provision as return of pension or a lump sum (principal and interest on it) at the end of here/his service). > Matemity Benefit Act, 1951 (provides for leave and some other benefits to women employees in case of medical recommendation of bed-rest or miscarriage etc. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment.

Lucknow; India 302 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 17.4 Involvement of migrant labourers in construction activities of UPSRP The construction works for widening and strengthening the project corridor will start after the R&R activities are over and the RoW is clear of any encroachment and land is temporarily acquired for borrow areas and construction camps. The construction contractors will set up their construction camps on identified locations where labour force for the construction activities will be provided with temporary residential accommodation and other necessary infrastructure facilities The labour force required for the construction activities will be mostly of high-skill nature since a lot of machine work is envisaged for this fast-track construction of the highway. In addition, women will certainly contribute to the requirement of unskilled labour. Apart from this, women as family members of the skilled and semi-skilled labourers will also stay in the construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the construction phase.. The construction contractors are expected to bring along their labour force. Thus, in most cases the labourers, both male and female, will be migratory labourers. But, the involvement of local labour. force, especially for unskilled activities, cannot be fully ruled out. Moreover, the RAP suggests the provision of creation of employment for local affected people. Hence, there will be involvement of local workers also in the labour force. Foreseeing the involvement of both male and female migrant workers in the construction activities, certain measures are required to be taken to ensure welfare and well being of these mobile people in general and women and children in particular during the construction phase. 17.5 Additional provisions provided The provisions mentioned under this section will help all the residents of the construction camp in general and women and children in particular. 17.5.1 TEMPORARY HOUSING ACCOMMODATION During the construction the families of labourers/workers should be provided with residential accommodation suitable to nuclear families. Unitary male and female workers could be housed in large single-sex dormitories. Provision of erection and maintenance of necessary (temporary) living accommodation and ancillary facilities for labourers of standard and scale approved by the Supervision Consultants' Resident Engineer shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. 17.512 DRINKING WATER FACILMES Safe drinking water should be provided to the dwellers of the construction camps. At every workplace and at suitable and easily accessible places a sufficient supply of cold potable water (as per IS) will be provided and maintained. If the drinking water is obtained from an intermittent public water supply then, storage tanks will be provided. All water supply storage shall be at a distance of not less than 15 m from any latrine, drain or other source of pollution. Where water has to be drawn from an existing well, which is within such proximity of any latrine, drain or any other source of pollution, the well shall be properly chlorinated before water is drawn from it for drinking purposes. All such wells shall be entirely closed in and be provided with a trap door, which shall be dust proof and waterproof. The trap door shall be kept locked and opened only for cleaning or inspection, which shall be done at least once a month. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment, Lucknow. India 303 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services tor Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase IIJ DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 17.5.3 WASHING AND BATHING PLACES Adequate washing and bathing places shall be provide and kept in clean and drained condition. 1 7.5A PUBLIC HEALTH AND SANITATION, LATRINES AND URINALS Construction camps should have the provision of sanitary latrines and urinals. Sewerage drains should be provided for the flow of used water outside the camp. Drains and ditches filled with water should be treated with bleaching powder on a regular basis. All these will ensure better public health in the camps. Moreover, these will reduce the chances of gastro-intestinal or insect-bome diseases. Within the precincts of the campsite, latrines and urinals shall be provided in an accessible place, as per the Factories Act. In workplaces water-flushes latrines shal be provided, connected with a water- borne sewage system. All latrines provided with dry-earth system shall be cleaned at least four times a day and least two times during working hours and kept in strictly sanitary condition. Such toilets shall be tarred inside and outside at least once a year. If women are employed, separate latrines and urinals, screened from those for men and marked in the vernacular, shall be provided. There shall be adequate supply of water close to latrines and urinals. 17.5.5 SHELTERS FOR REST At every workplace, there shall be provided free of cost, four suitable shelters, two for meals and two others for rest, separately for use of men and women labourers. The height of shelter shall not be less than 3m from floor level to lowest part of the roof. Sheds shall be kept clean and the space provided shall be on the basis of at least 0.5m2 per head. 17.5.6 CANTEEN A cooked food canteen on a moderate scale shall be provided for the benefit of workers wherever it is considered necessary. The contractor shall conform generally to sanitary requirements of local medical, health and municipal authorities and at all times adopt such precautions as may be necessary to prevent soil pollution of the site. 17.5.7 FIRST-AID At every workplace, a readily available first-aid unit including an adequate supply of sterilized dressing materials and appliances will be provided as per the Factory Rules of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar States. Workplaces remote and far away from regular hospitals will have indoor health units with one bed for every 250 workers. Suitable transport will be provided to facilitate taking injured and ill persons to the nearest applicable hospital. At every workplace, an ambulance room containing the prescribed equipment and nursing staff. 17.5.8 HEALTH CENTER Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health care facilities through health centers temporarily set up for the construction camp. The health center should have at least a doctor, nurses, General Duty staff, medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases, linkage with nearest higher order hospital to refer patients of major illnesses or critical cases. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 304 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services tor Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Reseorch Group August 2003 The health center should have MCW (Mother and Child Welfare) units for treating mothers and children in the camp. Apart from this, the health center should provide with regular vaccinations required for children. 17.5.9 DAY CRtCHE FACILITIES It is expected that among the women workers there will be mothers with infants and small children. Provision of a day creche may solve the problems of such women who can leave behind their children in such a creche and work for the day in the construction activities. If the construction work involves women in its day-night schedules, then the provision of such a creche should be made available on a 24-hour basis. The creche should be provided with at least a trained ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) worker with 'ayahs' (midwife) to look after the children. The ICDS worker, preferably women, may take care of the children in a better way and can manage to provide nutritional food (as prescribed in ICDS and provided free of cost by the government) to them. In cases of emergency she, being trained, can tackle the health problems of the children and can organise treatment linking the nearest health center. At a place where 20 or more women are ordinarily employed, there shall be provided at least a hut for use of children under the age of 6 years belonging to such women. Huts shall not be constructed to a standard lower than that of thatched roof, mud walls and floor with wooden planks spread over mud floor and covered with matting. Huts shall be provided with suitable and sufficient openings for light and ventilation. There shall be adequate provision of sweepers to keep the places clean. There shall be two maidservants (or Ayahs) to the satisfaction of local medical, health, municipal or cantonment authorities. Use of huts shall be restricted to children, their mothers and attendants. Where the number ,of women workers is more than 25 but less than 50, the contractor shall provide with at least one hut and one maidservant to look after the children of women workers. Size of creches shall vary according to the number of women workers employed. Creche shall be properly maintained and necessary requirements like toys, etc. provided. 17.5.10 EDUCATION FACILITIES The construction workers are mnainly mobile groups of people. They are found to move from one place to another taking along their families with them. Thus, there is a need for educating their children at the place of their work. For this at least primary schools are required to be planned in the construction camps. Wherever feasible, day crehe facilities could be extended with primary educational facilities. 17.5.11 POSTAL AND SAVINGS BANK FACILITIES The migratory nature of construction workers gives rise to the need of postal and savings bank facilities. A sub-post office may be of use in the construction camp for both communication and savings bank purposes of the workers in the construction camp. 17.5.12 PROPER SCHEDULING OF CONSTRUCTION WORKS Owing to the demand of a fast construction work it is expected that a 24 hours-long work-schedule would be in operation. Women, especially the mothers with infants should to be exempted from night Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India 305 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 shifts as far as possible. If unavoidable, creche facilities in the construction camps must be extended to them in the night shifts too. 17.5.13 VIGILANCE AND CONTROL OVER CRIMES AND MAINTENANCE OF CIVIL ATMOSPHERE The construction camps house labourers from different places and socio-cultural backgrounds. Chances of conflicts among them cannot be ruled out. Moreover petty crimes, thefts etc. are common features of such camps. To tackle these -situations there should be a police out-post near the camp. Illegal activities like gambling, prostitution etc. could be controlled thus. Exploitation of young urtmarried women is very common in such camps. A strong vigilance mechanism will ensure ceasing of such exploitation. Moreover, conflicts between construction workers and local communities, if any, may be managed with the help of police interference. 17.5.14 CONTROL ON CHILD LABOUR Minors i.e., persons below the age of 14 years should be restricted from getting involved in the constructional activities. Measures should be taken to ensure that no child labourer is engaged in the activities. 17.5.15 SPECIAL MEASURES FOR CONTROLLING STD, AIDS ETC Solitary adult males usually dominate the labour force of construction camps. They play a significant role in spreading sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In the construction camps as well as in the neighbouring areas they are found to indulge in unsafe sex with different women including commercial sex workers of the vicinity. Moreover, solitary males in the camps are often found to indulge in homosexual acts preferring to follow oral and anal sex. Such unhealthy sexual behaviour facilitates the spread of STDs and most alarmingly, AIDS. While it is difficult to stop such activities, it is wiser to make provisions for means of controlling the spread of such diseases. Awareness camps for the target groups, both in the construction camp, as well as neighbouring villages, and supply of condoms at concession rate at strategically located vending machines for the male workers may help to large extent in this direction. 17.5.16 PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH/HYGIENE PROVISIONS The following public safety and health provisions will apply in the construction activities in UP SRP, in addition to the clauses of the Conditions of contract. 17.5.17 WORKER'S SAFETY The contractor is required to comply with all the precautions as required for the safety of the workmen as per the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 62S as far as those are applicable to this contract. 17.5.18 SAFETY FROM ELECTICAL EQUIPMENT Adequate precautions will be taken to prevent danger from electrical equipment.

Workers in wielding activities shall be provided with protective eye shields. Stonebreakers will be provided with protective goggles and clothing and will be seated at sufficiently safe intervals. 17.5.20 LEAD POLLUTION No worker below 15 will be engaged in painting activities with products containing lead in any form. Protective masks shall be provided to the workers using lead based painting products. 17.521 FORCE DE MAJURE All reasonable precautions will be taken to prevent workers and public from danger arising out of fire, flood, drowning etc. 17.522 EXPLOSIVES If required to use explosives, the contractors shall follow the required regulations in this regard. 17.5.23 DISPOSAL OF EXCRETA The contractor shall take all the necessary measures to maintain cleanliness of the latrines by making arrangements for the collection and disposal of excreta. 17.524 ANTI-MALARIAL PRECAUlIONS The contractor shall, at his expenses, conform to all anti-malarial instructions given to him by the Engineer, including filling up any borrow pits which may have been dug by him. 17.5.25 CLEANING OF SITE On completion of works, the whole of such temporary structures shall be cleared away, all rubbish burnt, excreta or other disposal pits or trenches filled in and effectively sealed off and the whole of the site left clean and tidy, at the Contractor's expense, to the entire satisfaction of the Engineer.

Apart from facilitation it has adverse effects on natural, social and built environment. Hence it requires special attention and efforts to understand the impacts and influences on archaeological and cultural properties. Through the process of understanding and making adequate provisions for enhancement of important sites, it is intended to turn problems and negative effects into opportunities to benefit, protect, and enhance areas of cultural significance. It becomes important to enhance and conserve these cultural properties for they are the only feature that any traveller can identify on an impersonal stretch. These religious edifices instantly conjure and impression of the place especially the social scenario, just as a specific architectural style can be attributed to a certain time, climate and lace. In the absence of proper addressal of such properties the highway may become totally oppressive and the ethnicity and social character of the region may be lost. Many such cultural and historical properties located along the highway lie unnoticed. The enhancement of cultural properties as part of the UPSRP thus strives to maintain the historic character and improve the experience of highway travelling by strengthening the physical link between the corridor and the cultural properties falling along the road corridor and highlighting the cultural and historical context of the highway. Formulation of a common platform for highway strengthening and cultural property improvement ensures that the work actually gets carried out and the character of the road is retained uniform. 18.1 Likely impacts on the cultural properties Two archaeological gates (on route 4B) will be adversely impacted due to the project. However, project after consulting the local population will reconstruct the gates. The design and shape of the gates will not be changed. Apart from that, a number of smaller properties-shrines, temples, etc., which lies too close to the carriageway, will be impacted. The main cause of concern is the safety of the road users and the safety of the locals who frequent these places. 18.2 Relocation of cultural assets 182.1 PRE CONSTRUCTION STAGE Cultural properties will be subjected to varying degree of impact depending upon their placement in the RoW. Cultural properties lying within the daylight line are more susceptible to impacts due to pre construction and construction activities. Clearing of the site during movement of road construction machinery is likely to require a belt of about 4-5m from the edge of the carriageway. Which is likely to adversely impact cultural properties especially lying in this high impact zone. Pre-construction could also involve cutting down of trees if they are located in the Col some of which may be sacred.

These heavy vehicles need a belt of about 5m on the roadside for movement. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow, India 311 'Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV In association with Operations Research Group August 2003 182.3 OPERATION STAGE Traffic volumes and vehicle speeds are bound to increase after the proposed widening. As the widening could mean curtailing of the access way of religious properties, shrines and other religious structures in the RoW/Col are likely to be exposed to collision risk especially during night. This may become a major issue during construction phase even if the property has been saved from demolition during the design phase. 18.3 Contamination of site precincts One of the adverse impacts during construction is the likelihood of the precinct of the cultural property being contaminated by activities associated with road construction, by spillage of oil, tar, etc. All cultural properties located in the RoW are likely to be subjected to these impacts in varying degrees. 1361 CONSTRUCTION STAGE The issue of contamination or wsre is signucant uurmg uie consuucuuit bwLge on uIC PnujML construction stage involves a lot of movement of vehicles, tankers etc. Vehicle servicing stations would have to be set up on the site itself for regular maintenance and cleaning of the vehicles. Servicing/maintenance of these vehicles is likely to create oil spills etc. 1M32 OPERATION STAGE There is likelihood of contamination of the site during the operation stage only in case of accidental oil spills or road accidents involving tankers etc. However it is envisaged that improved road geometric, especially improved pavement conditions would mitigate this issue to a larger extent. 18.4 Loss/disruption of access 18A.1 PRE CONSTRUCTION One of the irnpacts of road construction, which is also a subset of the above impacts, is interrupted access to the cultural property. There are chances that users of the cultural property may face difficulty in accessing the property during the period of pre-construction. Increased frequency of movement of haul vehicles may obstruct access to the cultural properties located in the RoW. This impact is however short term. 1&42 CONSTRUCTION STAGE Loss/Disruption of access is likely to be severe during the construction period, due to movement of construction machinery, or excavation from borrow areas, setting up of service stations etc. 1M43 OPERATION STAGE Loss of Access is envisaged in cases of land acquisition or severance of land. In case of the proposed road widening the road widening may take up part or whole of the approach to the property thus making it vulnerable in terms of its safety or accessing it. Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Deportment. Lucknow. India 312 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase II) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 18.5 Loss of ambience 1&5.1 PRE CONSTRUCTION STAGE Pre-construction activities as site clearance, is likely to disturb the environment of the property. Though loss of ambience in this stage is a short-term impact, it can directly affect the functioning of the cultural property especially if the site acts as a meeting place for local people. 185.2 CONSTRUCTION STAGE Road construction and Allied activities involve constant generation of dust, noise and establishment of heavy vehicles on the site. Such activity is likely to lead to loss of ambience of the environrment of the cultural property. 18.5.3 OPERATION STAGE The road rehabilitation project may affect the frequency of use of the cultural property and its surroundings. Increased traffic may lead to commercial use of the roadside area of which the cultural property might be a part. Increase in these activities might destroy the ambience of such a property in addition to compounding parking and encroachment problems, which could lead to a loss of ambience. 18.6 Objectives and approach for enhancement The objectives have been particularly framed to blend the aspect of legendary history of the road and maximisation of safety measures. This is in line with the policy guidelines of the World Bank under OP 11.03 relevant portions of which are reproduced in Box 17.1 below. Based on these guidelines, following objectives have been formulated to operationalise the policy guidance.- (a) To engulf cultural conservation, protection and enhancement into the corridor development activity Instead of a piecemeal approach, the project should be able to incorporate enhancement of important cultural properties into the cost of the civil works. Though the proportion of the local costs incurred by the project will only be a fraction of 1%. It will go a long way in showing to the local people that the proponents do care for their sentiments. (b) To optimize and appropriate use of the properhy The property should be optimally enhanced as per its usage and significance; care should be taken not to modify its inherent character.. BOX 17.1. WORLD BANK OPERATIONAL POLICY NOTE NO. 11.03 MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN BANK FINANCED PROJECTS The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archaeological (prehistoric) paleontological, historical religious, and unique natural values. Cultural property therefore encompasses both remains left by previous human inhabitants (for example, shrines and battle grounds) and unique natural environmental features such as canyon and waterfalls. The rapid loss of cultural property in many countries is irreversible and often unnecessary. Policy Guidance Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. India 313 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh Stote Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan 4Phase 11) DHV in assocatbn with Operations Research Group August 2003 . The World Bank's general policy regarding cultural properties is to assist in their preservation, and to seek to avoid their elimination. Specifically a) The Bank normally declines to finance the projects that will significantly damage non- replicable cultural property and will assist only those projects that are sited or designed so as to prevent such damage. b) The Bank will assist in the protection and enhancement of cultural properties encountered in Bank Finance projects, rather than leaving that protection to chance. In some cases, the project is best relocated in order the sites and structures can be preserved, studied and restored intact in-situ in other cases, structures can be relocated, preserved, studied and restored on alternate sites. Often, scientific study, selective salvage and. museum preservation before destruction is all that necessary. Most such projects should include the training and strengthening the institutions entrusted with safeguarding a nations cultural patrimony. Such activities should be directly included in the scope of the project, rather than being postponed for some possible future action, and the costs are to be internalised in computing overall project costs. c) Deviations from this policy may be justified only where expected project benefits are great, and the loss of on damage to cultural property is judged by competent authorities to be unavoidable, minor, or otherwise acceptable specific details of the justification should be discussed in project documents. d) The policy pertains to any project in which the Bank is involved, irrespective of whether the Bank is itself financing the part of the project that may affect cultural property. Procedural Guidance The management of cultural property of a country is the responsibility of the government. Before proceeding with the project, which prima facie entails the risk of damaging cultural property (e.g. any project that includes large scale excavations, movement of earth, surfacial enviromnental changes or demolition), Bank staff must (1) determine what is known about the cultural property aspects of the project site. The governmentYs attention should be drawn specifically to that aspect and appropriate agencies, NGOs or university departments, should be consulted; (2) if there is a question of cultural property in the area, a brief reconnaissance survey should be undertaken in the field by a specialist. (c) To restrict the enhancement extent to the RoWor the edge of the RoW So that there is maximum availability of a clear RoW, wherever possible it may be restricted to/near the edge of the RoW. (d) To providefor maximization of safety Many of the properties may lie very close to the carriageway, for these adequate safety measures like barriers/guardrails may be erected. (e) To retain the ethnicity and sanctity of the properhy It should be attempted to retain the original character of the property, and whatever enhancement takes place, it should be in cognizance with the surroundings of the area and society. (I) To improve visual and aesthetic quality of the UPSRP To provide an experience of distinct travelling to the road users. The visual and aesthetic quality improvement and enhancement has been given special emphasis. The main features of this enhancement and improvement are landscaping, plantation, enhancing access, provision of seating arrangement etc. (g) To minimize the cost of enhancement Govemment of Uttar Pradesh. Public Works Department. Lucknow. India 314 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCCI Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11 DHV in association vvith Operations Research Group August 2003 By use of local materials and also promotion of use of such materials which require minimum maintenance. pIt) To promote the use of local materials, skill and labour Locally available materials like stone and bricks have been preferred for paving. This optimises the use of local materials and also helps in recognizing more and more local resources. At the same time it generates opportunities for indigenous skill development and thereby an increase in the employment opportunities. This further leads to more and diverse occupational patterns. The intention is to enrich the roadside places along with optimum use of local resources, skill and labour resulting in increase in employment opportunities. (i) To generate goodwill amongst the local community towards the project, by enhancement of these common property resources. Basic approach towards enhancement is maximization of protection and safety, protection of the property and safety of the road users. Caring for local properties is one way of earning the trust of the locals by addressing issues that are really close to their daily lives. Protection and enhancement of properties along the roadside is one possible way of showing to the people most likely to be directly affected by the project that the implementation will be responsive to their point of view also. 18.7 Protected monuments, properties of archaeological value and cultural properties along the project corridor Archaeological properties are those cultural properties that are protected under the Ancient Sites and Remains Act, 1958 by the state government and the ASI. They merit significance because of the large volume of traffic that they generate. Though these influences are restricted to a particular time they can contribute inadvertently to the formation of bottlenecks, which seriously hamper the functioning of the highway. The project corridors are dotted with places of archaeological interest. Figure 18.1 shows the archaeological sites and monuments in the influence zone of the Project. The project highway traverses through a number of settlements and is often dotted with religious and cultural properties most of which though not of archaeological significance are nevertheless, significant to the community. Cultural properties along the project highway were identified and documented based on site surveys and during strip mapping. 18.8 Criteria for selection of enhancement The project has screened all Cultural Properties along the corridor to enable the identification of selected cultural properties for enhancement, based on the significance to the community, use etc. The significance of the cultural property has been decided on basis of primary surveys. The aspect of assigning a particular significance to any cultural property is quite a subjective task in itself and difficult to quantify. Yet the project makes an attempt to bring these values to common platform in order to select properties to be enhanced. The significance of a certain property comes into question when deciding the mitigation, avoidance or enhancement level to be applied to it. This does not mean that one cultural property is superior to another for e.g. a small shrine may not be significant enough to W'arrant realignment of the corridor and from its significance value a particular mitigation measure could be most appropriate for it. The cultural properties were evaluated on basis of several factors. In addition some thumb rules have been adopted for sake of simplicity. Private shrines or properties taken care of by trusts etc. shall not be enhanced as the project focuses on the overall benefit of the Govemment of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department, Lucknow. Indio 315 Project Co-ordinoting Consultants (PCC) Services for Uttar Pradesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase 11) DHV in ossociation with Operations Research Group August 2003 society. Significance of all the cultural properties has been determined on basis of the following criteria. Size Size of the cultural property is not an indicator of its significance but it becomes important in terms of "relocation". For instance, it is quite easy to relocate a shrine, but the issue is complex in case of bigger properties such as temples, wherein the cost of reconstruction and cost of acquisition of land, needs to be considered. Cultural properties have been categorized as small, medium and large depending upon the size. The largest place of worship recorded was a mosque on route 14 was of the size of 14m x llm and the smallest was a temple of the size of lmxl.85m. Building Material Material used to build cultural properties is an indication of its significance. The properties have been classified in terms of Pucca, semi-pucca and Kaccha. Value Three types of values have been assigned to the cultural property-emotional, cultural and use value * "Emotional Value" pertains to the willingness of the community to allow the level of upgradation or modification * "Cultural Value" refers to the importance of the property by the virtue of its location and proximity to other community resources such as a well, a big shade tree, the village bus stop or common gathering space. Thus relocating the cultural property may destroy its ambience. - "Use Value" can be judged from the use of the property by the community. Social importance attached to the cultural property has been categorised as significant average and Poor. Ownership It is fair to assume that benefits to large segments of society are more important than those to a single, individual or smaller segment. Community cultural resources have therefore been given preference over private ones only in terms of enhancement Equal weightage has been given to both in mitigation and avoidance of impacts. The significance to the community has been determined on the basis of ownership (public, private or trust) and use. GENERIC ENHANCEMENT MEASURES FOR CULTURAL PROPERTIES Improving, defining, redefining access and the precincts The UPSRP strives to improve the experience of highway travelling by TEMPLE strengthening the physical link between ..0XG.0X8.0 the corridor and the cultural properties falling along it.

India 316 Project Co-ordinating Consultants (PCCI Services for Uttar Prodesh State Roads Project Resettlement Action Plan (Phase il) DHV in association with Operations Research Group August 2003 patterns and materials. The intention is to enrich view of these roadside places. In addition to providing access to the roadside cultural properties the UPSRP has also assumed the task of addressing the environment of the affected cultural property. As can be seen in all enhancement sketches strong focus is on defining the precinct or area of iinmediate influence of the property. At places plantation has been used in addition to hard landscaping measures to define precinct boundaries. Hard landscaping measures have been used in continuation with the access pathway to form the precinct of the structure. Brickwork in the form of low brick walls or brick linings has been used for the same purpose. As far as possible, changes have been restricted to the RoW. (refer figure on the left) Creating seating spaces Creating formal and/or informal seating spaces and rest areas where feasible and as per the scale of the property in question have been worked out. The project has explored avenues for formation of rest areas along the highway. In the case of availability of space, cultural properties if coupled with rest areas will prove to be beneficial not only to the highway travellers but also the users of the properties. This is all the more relevant as pilgrims use most of the major temples along the highway as halt points. Areas have been developed especially around/adjacent to cultural properties where there is easy availability of space and drinking water. The utility of these rest-spaces increases when created in conjunction with cultural properties. Plantation As mentioned in the preceding paragraphs and in the chapter on mitigation, trees not only enrich the visual quality of a space but also act as functional buffer screens to provide shade, define areas and counter pollution. Plantation of trees has been a prime enhancement as well as mitigation measure in the project. Tree basses have been proposed around existing as well as proposed shade trees to form informal seating spaces, which are preferred to the formal seating spaces. The sketch shows a schematic detail of a tree-base or chabutra; as it is locally called. This type of informal seating has been created in the proposed rest areas. Others In addition to the above mentioned enhancement measures, minor considerations like provision of signage or putting up of hazard markers etc. have been considered. Signage has been proposed for archaeological properties along the road to bring the heritage of the settlements/areas along the roadside to the notice of the traveller. Govemment of Uttar Pradesh.

The costs used for the budget are based on informatign collected during census and socio-economic surveys, revenue department and PWD. A replacement value survey was conducted for Phase II roads along with the survey. The resettlement budget, particularly, the compensation and assistance payment components for non-land assets have been computed based on market survey. Land value was collected from revenue officials of various categories to arrive at an estimate for phase II roads. It is suggested that during land acquisition during phase II implementation, an independent committee on Replacement value Assessments should assess the cost and accordingly the budget will be modified. The total budget for Phase -I has been estimated at Rs.794.27 million. The basis for budget estimation and detailed budget has been provided in ensuing sections. 19.1.1 THE LAND VALUE As per the market survey and discussion with the revenue officials the value of different categories of land is as under: Table 19.1 Land Value in Project Area Land Categories Value in Rs / per ,__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _s q . ft Pucca Residential l 270.00 Pucca Commercial 250.00 District TLand category Value in Rs Per acre Jaunpur !

Source: Lekhpal (Revenue Clerk), Tehsil Office of affected districts 2. Gaurabadshahpur has been separately indicated as land price for Gaurabadslmahpur differs from the land value of rest of the Tehasil. The compensation paid by the revenue department is always lower than the replacement value because of low registration value in order to avoid stamp duty. This eventually leads to court cases and delays the main investment project. However, the solatium of 30 percent and annual interest of 12 percent are added to that figure. The difference between the compensation and the replacement valuc Government of Uttar Pradesh, Public Works Department. Lucknow.

The government will pay the compensation where as assistance will come from the World Bank. 19.1.2 THE VALUE OF BUILDINGS The cost of construction varies as per the type of construction. The values of constructed buildings as per the schedule of rates of PWD are presented below: Table 19.2 Value of buildings Land categories Value in Rs per Land Categories sq.ft RCC roof, concrete floor and brick 270.00 masonry i Brick wall with tin/ asbestos roof 195.00 Mud mortar house with thatched roof 78.00 Wooden structures 105.00 Over and above the Schedule of Rates (SOR) value, 10 percent will be added to bring the cost to replacement value. Like land compensation, even in building compensation, it is assumed that government will pay 75% of the total amount and rest 25% will be paid from the World Bank loan. 19.1.3 SHRINES The shrines located along the road within the COI will be relocated in consultation with the community and at a place chosen by the community. The cost of shifting a shrine was estimated at Rs 26000. For a permanent place of worship, the estimated cost for reconstruction along with enhancement measures is approximately Rs.6, 82,000. For relocation of mosque along with enhancement measure, estimated cost comes to Rs. 474,764. The break is as follows: Table 19.3 Reconstruction of temple complex Sl.n I Rat (Rs.
