The development of a new Capital City – critical for administration, economic development, and cultural integration – is a priority for the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh. The State Cabinet meeting of September 1, 2014 passed a resolution ‗to locate the Capital City in a central place of the state, around Vijayawada, and to go for decentralized development of the state with 3 Mega Cities and 14 Smart Cities‘. The State Government identified the Capital City area between Vijayawada and Guntur cities on the Southern bank of River Krishna, upstream of the Prakasam Barrage. The Amaravati Capital City has an area of 217.23 sq.km and is spread across 25 villages in 3 mandals (Thulluru, Mangalagiri and Tadepalli) of Guntur district. The 25 villages in the Capital City area have a population of about 100,000 people. The nearest cities are Vijayawada at a distance of 30 km and Guntur at a distance of 18 km. The nearest railway station is KC Canal railway station near Tadepalli and the nearest airport is Gannavaram which is at a distance of 22 km. Amaravati is envisioned to be a ‗People‘s Capital‘ built around sustainability and livability principles. It aims to be at par with global standards and has developed a masterplan with the assistance of the Government of Singapore. The new capital will be a center of economic activity, will create a range of jobs and will provide affordable and quality housing. Sustainability, efficient management and optimum utilization of resources will form an important pillar of this new capital. The Project Development Objective of the World Bank supported Amaravati Sustainable Capital City Development Project (ASCCDP) is to provide select urban infrastructure in designated locations of Amaravati Capital City, and to support the initial development of its institutional and governance structure. The ASCCDP has five main components, as follows: (i) Basic Urban and Pro-poor Infrastructure Component, which will support the implementation of priority transport corridors and integration of 25 villages into the Amaravati Capital City development, by financing the construction of a priority road network and the upgrading of infrastructure in selected villages (e.g. water supply, sewage, village roads, and drainage); (ii) Green Climate Resilient Infrastructure, which will help build sustainability and climate resilience in Amaravati Capital City by supporting its integration with the natural surroundings, riverfront, and greenery; (iii) Citizen Benefit Sharing component, which will support government‘s efforts to implement benefit sharing measures for the residents of the capital city area, including but not limited to, training programs for farmers, landless families and other stakeholders, skill building programs, which will allow capital city residents to access jobs and new economic opportunities emerging in an urban context; (iv) Institutional and Fiscal Development, which will support government efforts to develop local government institutions and governance systems; and, (v) Project Management and Implementation Support. A Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) was prepared to describe the principles, objectives and processes for preparation of specific resettlement plans that will be applicable to interventions financed by the World Bank project, once they are identified during project 5 ASCCDP: Resettlement Action Plan for Flood Mitigation Works preparation/implementation1. The RPF describes the principles and approach in avoiding, minimizing and mitigating adverse social impacts that may arise in implementation of proposed interventions financed by the World Bank. The RPF also provides process for consultations, impact assessment, census and socio-economic surveys, as well as for the preparation and implementation of mitigation plans. The RPF was prepared in line with the provisions of National laws, State laws and the World Bank‘s Involuntary Resettlement Policy (OP 4.12). The RPF was consulted and disclosed.
