IPP623v5 TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1.1 INTRODUCTION The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORTH), Government of India has decided to up-grade the entire existing single lane/intermediate lane National Highways, which are not covered under National Highways Development Program (NHDP) to at least 2-lane standards through National Highways Inter-connectivity Improvement Program (NHIIP). The NHIIP comprises of 33 project roads of non-NHDP National Highways across 7 states and 1 Union Territory with total length of 3769 km. Of these, 11 sub-projects have been proposed by MORTH for implementation with World Bank Assistance. The present report pertains to Bhojpur to Chhatabar Section (Km 131.000 to Km 192.000) of NH 200 in the State of Orissa. The MORTH intends to rehabilitate and up-grade the existing single lane/intermediate lane between Bhojpur to Chhatabar of NH 200 to 2- lane/2-lane with paved shoulders configuration. The implementation of rehabilitation and up-gradation of this corridor is likely to be taken up with World Bank assistance. The World Bank has agreed to support this sub-project in-principle provided the implementation conforms to environmental and social safeguard policies of the World Bank and the legal framework of the country. The project road starts at Bhojpur (Km 131.000) in Sambalpur District and ends near Chhatabar (Km 192.000) in Deogarh District on NH-200 in Orissa State. The project road is divided in two parts. First part of the project road at km 156.436 terminates on NH 6 near Tilaibani village. In second part, the project road at NH 200 is again originated just before Deogarh city, in continuation of chainage km 156.436 and ends near Chhatabar at km 192.000. National Highway-200 (NH 200) connects Raipur, the state capital of Chhattisgarh to Chandikhole in Orissa. It covers a total distance of 740 km. In Chhattisgarh state, NH- 200 starts at Raipur and passes through, Dharsinwa, Simga, Nandghat, Baitalpur, Bilaspur, Mulmuda, Pamgarh, Bhopapara, Tunda, Bilaigarh, Sarsiwa, Khajari, Sarangarh, Bajara, Kotmara, Tetla, Raigarh while in Orissa state NH 200 passes through Lakhanpur, Brajarajnagar, Jharsuguda, Kolabira, Kuchinda, Bhojpur, Pravasuni, Deogarh, Gogua, Naikul, Bajrakot, Talcher, Parjang, Kamakhyanagar, Bhuban, Sukinda and terminate at Chandikhole. The project road passes through Sambalpur and Deogarh districts of Orissa State. Most of the project road falls under Deogarh district. It passes through settlements like, Bhojpur, Sirid, Pravasini, Deogarh, Riamal and Chhatabar. Total length of the project road is 61 km. The project location map of the project road is given under Figure 1.1. Riamal, Telimunda and Chhatabar are very congested stretch on the project road. The project road for most of its length passes through rolling and plain terrain. From Km 140.500 to Km 141.500 and Km 158.000 to Km 167.000, the road passes through hilly terrain. In about 26.251 km length project road, passes through reserved and protected forest area. Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-1:Description of the Project 1 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The NH-200 connects Raipur, the State Capital of Chhattisgarh and Chandikhole in the State of Orissa covering a distance of 700 km. The project road (Km 131.00 to km 192.00) corridor takes off from km 131.00 at Bhojpur, traverses in south-east direction about 25km and joins NH-6 (Hazira-Kolkata road) at km 156+436 near village Tileibani. After traversing approximately 12km towards east on NH-6, the project road chainage km 156+436 resumes at another junction with NH-6 near Deogarh. From there the project road traverse towards south direction passes through village Chhatabar (between km 186.00 and km 187.00) and ends at km 192.00. The project road (km 131.00 to km 192.00) passes through two districts viz., Sambalpur and Deogarh( ref. Table 1.1) in the state of Orissa. The available of ROW at habitation and non-forest sections of the project road varies in between 8m to 30m. In forest stretches, available ROW width is around 8mtr to 14m. At few locations it is more than 30m. At many locations it has been encroached by the local public. The major portion of the road falls within the district of Deogarh.

From km 158 to km 168 and 140.400 to 141.500 the road passes through Mountainous / Hilly Terrain. The roadside land use is variable from rural village developments to rural agricultural areas, semi-rural open areas with occasional roadside dwellings and small businesses scattered throughout the route. There is ribbon development at some locations along the road with small settlements. However, the major part of the project road passes through forest and rural open areas. The table 1.2 below presents the distribution of length of Project road in terms of land use and roadside environments.

Though the proposed project intervention would not have direct adverse impact on tribal in larger extent, it is observed that there will be minor impact on these tribal populations. There will be loss of livelihood and shelter of Scheduled Tribe in selected stretches. Therefore specific strategies based on type of loss and nature and magnitude of impact on tribal have been formulated for those who are directly impacted and a general strategies associated with tribal backwardness is also prepared.. The census surveys and consultation with specific groups including tribal along the project stretches identified some tribal issues that need to be addressed under the project. Constitution of India has provided base for the government to formulate special programs for the development of these vulnerable groups. Typically, vulnerability is relatively high among Scheduled tribes/indigenous people. Dislocation and loss of livelihood caused by road widening and development may further aggravate the disadvantaged condition unless special attention is paid to them. In this connection an assessment of impacts specifically on Scheduled Tribes (ST) has been done during the social assessment. This chapter discusses the issues/impacts likely to be caused due to proposed project interventions and actions necessary to mitigate the impact. 1.4 STATUS OF SCHEDULE TRIBES IN THE PROJECT AREA State Orissa Orissa has large tribal population, who are at various stages of socio-economic development. At one extreme are the groups which lead a relatively secluded and archaic mode of life keeping their core culture intact, while at the other extreme there are communities which are indistinguishable from the general agricultural communities. The tribal people express their cultural identity and distinctiveness in their social organization, language, rituals and festivals and also in their dress, ornaments, art and craft. Overall, the state of Orissa ranks third in terms of tribal population in India. They constituted 10.84% of the total tribal population of India as per 2001 census. Orissa houses 62 types of tribes, of which 13 are primitive. The State has one of the richest diverse tribal populations in the country. Sizable agglomeration of tribal population in Orissa has moved to mining, industrial and urban areas for earning a secured living through wage-laborer. During the past three decades the process of industrial urbanization in the tribal belt of Orissa has been accelerated through the operation of mines and establishment of industries. Mostly persons from advanced tribal communities, such as Santhal, Munda, Ho, Oraon, Kisan, Final DPR, Volume V: Tribal Development Plan 4 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa Gond etc. have taken to this economic pursuit in order to relieve pressure from their limited land and other resources. 1.4.1 District Sambalpur Project road traverses through Jamankira Tehsil of Sambalpur district from km 131.00 to km 147.00. Tehsil Jamankira of district Sambalpur is listed in Schedule V of constitution of India. The district population is constituted by 34.5 percent of Scheduled Tribes. The major tribes enumerated in the district are Kisan (27.8%), Munda etc.(17.5%) and Gond etc.(17.1%) among the total tribal population of the district. Similarly, the castes having highest population are Ganda (40.7 percent), Pan Pano(12.2 percent) and Dewar (10.8) considering the total scheduled caste population. 1.4.2 District Deogarh Project road traverses through Deogarh and Riamal Tehsil of Deogarh district from km 147.00 to km 192.00. District Deogarh is not included in Schedule V of constitution of India. However, there is ST population all along the project road. Schedule Tribe population constitute 33.6% of the total population of the district. 1.4.3 Direct Impact Zone Most tribes tend to follow a clan based land tenure system which provides customary rights in land, trees, forests etc. Tribes like Kondhs, saoras, Parojas, Gadabas, Bondos, Juangs and Bhuiyans traditionally carry out shifting cultivation along with paddy in valley lands. Most tribes broadly cultivated four types of land – valley bottom paddy lands or wetlands, homesteads/backyards, uplands and shifting cultivation fields. Schedule Tribe constitutes a significant 31.18% of the total population of project affected villages. The tribal in the project affected villages have got assimilated with the main stream population of the area as a consequence they display both their traditional as well as acquired social and cultural identity. In the project affected villages majority of Tribes have adopted the culture and life style of the main stream population. Therefore, it is very difficult to distinguish them on the basis of their culture and life style. Out of total 172 (108 Structure & 64 Land) project affected households surveyed during Census and SES identified 27 Schedule Tribe households, out of that 8 Schedule Tribe households are getting affected by the way of impact on structures and rest 19 households by land acquisition. 1.5 METHODOLOGY USED TO ASSESS TRIBAL ISSUES Structured questionnaires, open-ended formats, group discussion during preparation of Village Diary etc were used to assess the impact. The data collected through socio- economic survey and census survey was another source of information for social assessment of tribes. Consultation Methodology: consultations was carried out with the likely affected tribal population in a culturally appropriate manner using local languages where needed. It took place in different modes – one on one interaction during household survey and group meetings along with other PAPs. Most of the village level consultations were Final DPR, Volume V: Tribal Development Plan 5 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa carried out during the social screening and detailed Social Impact assessment between September 2010 to March 2012 and these were in addition to the focus group discussions and interviews with individual ST affected households. All of these consultations were pre prior, and informed to the affected tribal people. During specific consultation, issues like relocation, options and preferences in relocation, compensation, assistance and income generation strategies like requirement of training to enhance the individual skills etc. were discussed. 1.5.1 Palli (Gram) Sabah under PESA 1996 & Forest Right Act 2006 Project road traverses through Jamankira Tehsil, of Sambalpur District from km 131.00 to 147.00 and District Deogarh from km 147.00 to km 192.00. Jamankira Tehsil of district Sambalpur is listed under the Schedule V of constitution of India therefore, it is mandatory to conduct the Gram Sabah in these project affected villages as per the prescribed procedure with the minimum 15 days notices period. The required Gram Sabah has been conducted in all these project affected villages of Sambalpur district under PESA (Punchayat Extension in Schedule Areas) Act 1996 and acquired the required resolution for the proposed project. Whereas, district Deogarh is not listed under the Schedule V but schedule tribe population constitute a significant percentage of the total population of the district. Similarly, Gram Sabah’s has been conducted under FRA 2006 in all the project affected villages of Deogarh district where any forest land is getting affected by the proposed project. During these Gram Sabah, an especial attention was given on the tribal issues and there mitigations. List of villages where Gram Sabahs has been conducted is provided in annexure-11. 1.5.2 Specific Gram Sabahs in Tribal Villages A special Gram Sabahs has been organized in the 4 villages along with Block Development officer and NGO in the villages on 12 and 13th May 2012 to understand the type and nature of support required to enhance the economic and social status of Schedule Tribe population in the project affected area refer annexure-12. During the above meeting and discussion the following demands/ suggestion have been received from the Tribal community of the villages. The following training can be organized by the NGOs in the affected villages to develop the ST community with close coordination with local administration. Appropriate budget provision has been made for the proposed trainings.

Out of 285 affected households, SES & Census survey could only be conducted for 172 households, rest 113 households (mainly Land Owners) were either not available during the survey or refused to give data to the survey enumerators. There for analysis in below table has been done on the basis of 172 households. The survey data reveals that out of 172 project affected households for which Census & SES survey has been done, 27 households belong to Schedule Tribes. Similarly, out of 27 ST households, 8 households are likely to be affected by the impact on structures and rest 19 by the proposed Land Acquisition. The ST households constitute 18.59% of the project affected households in PIA. Details of estimated project affected ST household have been provided in table 14.2 below.

During the survey of 172 project affected households, it has been reported that out of 906 affected populations, 139 persons are belonging to Tribal households. On the basis of surveyed households, it has been estimated that out of 1639 project affected population, 301 belong to Schedule Tribe PAPs. The ST PAPs constitutes 18.36% of the project affected population in PIA which is very similar to the percentage of affected ST households i.e. 18.59% of the total affected households by the project.

No unique socio-cultural practices were reported during the one to one interviews. Normally, the tribal people express their cultural identity and distinctiveness in their social organization, language, rituals and festivals and also in their dress, ornaments, art and craft which separates them from the other local population of the region. The tribal study by the consultant in the project affected area reveals that all though they belong to tribal category but they are very much following the local culture, festivals, rituals, religious system, dresses and also involved in the small road side petty business similar to local main stream Hindu community. Tribal in the PIA region have very much adopted the local system like main stream population. At times it seems very difficult to segregate tribal population with other local community in absence of identity proof in the PIA. Income The income level of the entire area is low compared to other parts of the state. Out of 30 surveyed ST employed person 18 (60.0%) are earning Rs. 2,000 or less per month and only one member is earning more than Rs. 4,000 per month. Income level of ST population indicates about their economic condition.

The tribal have extended their support to the project given that the potential negative impacts and risks are properly mitigated or managed, as outlined in this chapter. It is also highly recommended that the tribal are regularly consulted at different stages of project implementation. All communication and information dissemination in the project area shall be done in the culturally appropriate way. 1.9 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS The service of RAP and TDP Implementation Agency will be required for 2 years during implement of RAP. It is recommended to give 10% weightage to the RAP and TDP Implementation Agency native to the region for implementation of RAP at the time of hiring. The weightage mechanism has been further elaborated in the TOR for hiring RAP and TDP Implementation Agency as annexure-2. In case the RAP and TDP Implementation Agency that is selected happens to be from outside the region, it would be ensured to include representation from the project area in the team of field professionals. This is to ensure that the RAP and TDP Implementation Agency is sensitive to the socio cultural profile and practices of the project area, particularly scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. 1.10 BUDGET In addition to R&R implementation cost, an amount for undertaking community works has been provisioned for in the budget (See Resettlement Action Plan) Final DPR, Volume V: Tribal Development Plan 17
