EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 BACKGROUND Roads and Bulldmgs Department (RBD) of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has entrusted the responsibhty of planning, construction and maintenance of the core state roads network to the Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC). In order to improve the selected core roads network, APRDC has planned to provide better quality and safer roads to the road users on a sustainable basis. In ths contest, APRDC is seehg the World Bank fundmg for the proposed Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project (APKSP). This is in continuation to the earlier loan from the Bank for improving the corc nenvork m the state. As part of th~sproject preparation, APRDC engaged Feasibhty consultants to prepare a detailed project report of about 900 km of road stretches which included undertakmg social assessment and preparation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). As per the requirements of Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabhation Policy (APRRP) 2005, an RAP is required to be prepared to assess the impacts resulting from the proposed road improvements.

.Address other social issues (resulting from the proposed project interventions) related to vulnerable groups (includmg tribal) and road safety; and
Prepare a plan (SMP) to address all social issues associated with the project. 4 METHODOLOGY The preparation of SMP has focused on detaded consultations and participation of project affected persons (PAPS) and other project stakeholders. It involved extensive field (census and socioeconomic) survey using structured questionnaires and guidelmes for undertakmg Focus Group lscussions (FGD) and other stakeholders' consultation. The desk review, structured questionnaires, open ended formats, FGD guidelines, preparation of Vdlage Diary etc. were the specific tools used to collect the required inforrnatlon. The data/information thus collected helped in understandmg the social and economic features of the affected communities and in appreciating thelr issues and concerns. Identification of land to be acquired and inventory of structures coming with the corridor of impact were the main components of the census survey carried out among the identified potential project affected fades (PAF). 5 PROJECT AREA Kandi - Shadnagar road, the present sub-project road is a cluster of Major District Raod (MDR) and Other District Road (ODR) Sections, located in Telangana Regon of Andhra Pradesh. The Project road (PR) starts at km O/O in Kanh CJunction with NH-9 at km 496/0) in Medak &strict and runs south-east cluection connecting Shankatpath, Chevella, Shaabad towns (in Rangareddp District) and terminates at Shadnagar (Junction with NH-7 at krn 47/6 through SH4 at km 3/000) in Mahboobnagar District. Cumulative length of hsroad is 65.50 krn. The project road provides connectivity between NH-9 and NH-7, as a bypass to Hyderabad and is presendy widely used by interstate traffic. 'The proposed project road, by and large, has sufficient kght of Way (Row to accommodate the proposed improvement in road geometrlcs and upgradtng of the road to taro lane/four lane standard. However, at some locations it becomes necessary to acquire the land for proposed improvements, particularly for a bypass. 6 PROJECT lMPACTS Proposed road improvement wdl require about 30 ha of land malnly for a bypass, qeometric/cunre and junction improvements. Besides, hswdl require acquisition of road side
structures, whch in turn, will Qsplace about 80 fades. There are 182 project affected fades 'ii'ii' , - (PAFs) whose population is 1046, referred as project affected persons (PAPS). Out of the total 'a 182 PAFs, 80 are titleholders, 22 encroachers (occup)ing public/RBD land), 42 squatters (within ROW'), 1 tenant and 37 hosks (mostly wooden cabins u~hchcould be easily moved). r- Social assessment of these PAFs has identified 132 PAFs as xulnerable including 19 Scheduled ?. Caste (SC) and 18 Women Headed (WH) families. Among the PL4Fs majority (132 PAFs mclulng SC and WH fades) is reported to be below poverty level (RPL). In other words, there are 95 PA4Fswho do not belong to the socially lsadvantaged gxoups (SC and WH) but are economically backward and are livmg blow poverty level. These families are also considered as vulnerable PAFs. The Qstribution of vulnerable PAFs m lffercnt social groups is given in the Table 1. These fadies received focus attenuon du~gRAP preparation for their R&R entitlements and options. Based on the stakeholders' consultatloll, a comprehensive study about physical displacement and land acquisition and social assessment undertaken, it has been established the proposed
project interventions will result in low adverse impacts on the local population. . .< I

7 SOCIAL SAFEGUARD POLICIES TRIGGERED Whde the proposed interventions for improvement of KS road d necessitate some involuntary resettlement, the results of the social assessment established that this will not impact any tribal groups in the project area. More over, the assessment found that there are no tribal specific habitations along the proposed KS road. In other words, hssub-project triggers the Bank's operational policy (OP 4.12) on mvoluntary resettlement but not OP 4.10 on Indgenous Peoples (referred as tribal m Indian context). While the present SMP includes a detailed Resettlement Action Plan (includmg measures for con~pensatingloss of land and other assets, relocation of project dsplaced fades and economic rehabhtation to restore livelihood)', it also include measures to address other social issues related to women, prevention of HIVIAIDS and road safety (mainly awareness proh~am)aspects. 8 STAKEHOLDERS' CONSULTATION To ensure continued people parucipation dunng project preparation, a consultation mechanism was adopted whch would conunue during the project implementauon. Local people were informed about the proiect and its activiues and they were consulted in the project related decisions. Th~shelped in understandmg not only their perceptions about the project but also seek their opinion about the project. their preferences/options and their input in the project designs. These consultations were two-way cornmunicauon where relevant information was shared with the project stakeholders includmg affected communities. The information shared with the stakeholders related to the extent of land acquisition and number of structures affected, physical dsplacement and relocation, economic rehabhtation, institutional mechanism for planning and implementation of the project, etc. The stakeholders' consultation were held at various levels - vdlage, Mandal, District and Project. The consultation has emphasized on involving primary stakeholders (project affected fades) duectly related to planning and implementing R4P and the project activities. During social assessment and RAP preparation. specific consultation strategy was adopted to consult with the vulnerable PAFs. Ths included sharing Information on the specific measures to support thcse vulnerable PA4Fsin theu R&R process. The SMI' lncludes a consultation framework to be adopted during its imple1nent:ition. 9 R&R POLICY FRAMEWORK
The R&R Policv 2005 of GoAP has a numl~el.of progresslye measures to help those affected b\- the mfrastructure projects in the state. Hou~e\,er,a rcvien. of the pohcy revealed that thc R&R issues related to road sector projects have not been adequately addressed. In this regard, a gap analysis of the statc RKrR policy was carricd out to idcntih additional measures required to address R&R issues associated u'ith road sector projects. changes proposed in APRRP 2005, based on this gap analysis. haw been ~ncludedin the R&R entitlement framework for the present APKSP. 13ccord1ngI\-,the changes proposed bv -4PRDC have been approved by Go:\P. Tlis R&R entitlement framcu:ork together a-ith spccific measures to zrddress other social issues (HIV/AIDS, road safctl-j provides thc base for the preparation of this SMP (includng R!\P as an important component). Important features of the policy framework for land acquisiuon and R&R entitlements under Al'RS1' arc as follon-: Land acquisition (L.4) WLLI be as per ],:I :Ict 1894. The project wdl follow consent award (or mutual negotiations) and if ths fails, normal L.4 process will be folluwed.
A one time financial assistance equivalent to 750 days of minimum wages will be pad to a PAF who becomes landless due to loss of land for the project. For those becoming margmal farmers and small farmers, thls financial assistance will be equivalent to 500 man days and 350 man days respectively.

10 LAND ACQUISTION The project requires about 30 ha private land which land will be acquired in accordance with the Land Acquisition (LA) Act 1894 mainly using the provi'sions of 'consent award' or through mutual negotiations. LA and resettlement activities will be completed before handng over the site for construction. Possession of land by the project will be taken over only after dsbursement of compensatlon and R&R assistance. Land acquisition procedures wdl be initiated with the section 4(1) notification under LA Act indcating the intention to acquire land for the project. Determination of colnpensauon and its payment is expected to start from 1" May 2009 as indcated below. Table 1: LA Plan Schedule S1. Activity Timeline No.

At locations where R&B land is not available, the District Ahstration will provide land for resettlement site subject to availabhty of Government land. In this process, the District R&R Committee wd help in identification of suitable government land for resettlement sites. PAFs not gemng alternate land or if they do not prefer the project identified site wd be ehglble for cash in lieu of the land. The procedures to be followed by the ~rnplementingfunctionaries have been detailed out in SMP. Essentially, these include verification and updadng the list of PAFs; public lsclosure of thls list and theu (on inlvidual basis) R&R entitlements; issuance of ID Cards along with their photos, losses and entitlements; compensation for loss of land and other assets; disbursement of relocation assistance includng house construction assistance and subsistence allowance; development of resettlement sites and allotment of house sites, etc. No fa@ d be deprived of their land/structure unless compensated. No construction d be initiated unless PAFs are compensated and they receive their R&R assistance. S~rmlarly,no construction d be permitted unless all PDFs are properly resettled. As indcated in Table 2, dsplaced fades under project w~llget a free house site, a house construction grant for BPL fades, grant for cattle shed, transport assistance and subsistence allowance. REHABILITATION
The over all approach- - of the project towards the economic rehabhtauon of PAFs is to ensure that they enhance, if not at least regam their pre-project level of economic livelihood. Towards hsend, the RBIR policy framework agreed for the project includes allotment of government land (where available and agreed by the eligble PAF) together with the financial assistance towards land development and adjustment of compensation towards the cost of land allotted. F~nancialassistance to elqyble PAFs is provided if they become landless, marpal and small farmers after LA for the project. Such fades are also supported to access on-going income generation schemes of the government as complementary to their eligibilities. Government programs for income generation are available to vulnerable fades (BPL and SC) on subsidy- loan schemes. The Package- NGO (selected for KS road) d help such vulnerable PAFs to access government programs. The rehabilitation assistance provided to PAFs along with subsidy will help them to enhance their living conltions. One member from each of such eligible PAFs wd be given training either to impart new slull or improve the existing ones to help then take up alternate income generating schemes and supplement their household income. ,Ill efforts wlll be made to ensure that the interested (and willing to take-up the government schemes) PAFs are covered under the on-going government schemes. The Package NGO has a major role in helping PAFs m not only getting theu R&R entitlements on time but also in ensuting theu proper use. The NGO, with the help of the Package Manager (Enpeer in charge of KS road), uill approach the concerned government departmentslagencies and ensure their coverage under Government programs, particularly the Inha Krandu Patham. Vulnerable fades will be preferred in the allotment of sites for businesses/shops. Concerted efforts will be made to help such vulnerable PAFs to access government schemes for their r socio-economic development. U OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES Vulnerable Groups There are no inlgenous peoples (referred locally as tribal) in the project area and therefore the adverse impacts on the tribal under th~sproject does not arise. The vulnerable among PAFs include the BPL (incluhg WH households and SC fades). During implementation, all vulnerable if interested d Le gven preference for wage employment in the project construction activiues.

Gender Issues Women are categorized as vulnerable if they are affected by the project on indvidual basis. Such fades are eligble for additional support in their R&R process. 'VC'omen unll get wages, under the project, at par with men on 'equal work equal payment' basis. Where ever available and active women Self Help Groups, if interested d be involved in project implementation. Package NGO has an important role to involve women members through out the project period. Child Labour No chdd labour will be involved in the construction work. This is an important clause of the contractual agreement with the Construction agency. Thls wlll be strictly monitored by the project during rnplementation. Road Safety Education During social assessment and stakeholders' consultation, road safety has emerged an important issue and local communities and other road users expressed their concerns, particularly on completion of project whch would sipficantly increase the vehcle speed and traffic flow. In ths regard, the project provides for road safety measures in the construction plan. However, to educate the local communities on the use of road, following traffic rules and ensuring safety, a program on road safety educadon has been included in the present SMP. Since the Package NGO would be developing a good rapport with the local cornmunitles and other road users, road safety education and awareness campaigns will be one of its important activities of the assignment. Prevention HN/AIDS Transmission It is well established that because of proposed improvements in the road, mobility of Commercial Sex Workers and truckers and other road users wd also increase and hence increased chances of transmission and spread of Hnr/AIDS. Prevention and control of HI\'/AIDS transmission wd be one of the important social respoilsibhues of the project. An acnon plan for the prerention and control of Hn'/AlDS has been prepared in close coordmation with the Andhra Pradesh AIDS Control Society (!IPS,4CS) for the entire rZP Koad sector project, of wlich this Jbl road is also included. This l'lan u-ill 11c. implcmcnted b!. thc Package NGO, closelv norlung with ;ll'S:\CS local functionaries and supported b!. the l'ackagc Manager. 14 IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM In this comprehensive ShIP, K.4P is thc most important component. Other components of SMI' Include prerention and control of HI\'/AIDS and Road Safety Action Plan. This SMP, therefore, has a variety of project stakeholders, target groups and ~rnplementin~agencies. The most Iinportant and sihmificant R&K component udl be implcinented by the Package Manager (or the Engjneer in-charge of the l'ackagc) in close coordination with thc District Administration and this will be closely monitored by the District R&R Committee. R4I' implementation wd be facilitated br. the Package YGO. I-IT\'/.4TDS plan win be implemented by mvoh-ing APSACS &cctly. Koad safe?. measures u~illbc implemented with the help of Transport Department where Package NGO mill be undertahng educadon and awareness programs among the local/road side communities and other road users. Therefore, the agreed framework for SMP implementation is as follows. The SMP includmg RAP wdl be approved by GoAP

Rs. 184.7 millions. The budget provides for compensating land and other assets required for the project, R&R assistance, and development of resettlement sites. Th~salso provides for capacity bddmg and training, cost of engagng Package NGO and administrative expenses at the Package level. Budget required for HIV/AIDS and Road Safety measures will come from the respective plans prepared at the project level.

1.1 BACKGROUND Road and Buildmg Department (RBD) of Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has entrusted the responsibility of planning, construction and maintenance of key State roads to Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC'). APRDC has planned to improve the selected core road network by providmg better quality and safer roads to the users m sustainable manner under Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project (APRSP) with loan assistance from the World Bank. Improved quality of core road networks,' better mstitutional operation and management (O&M) system of APRDC and safe roads are unportant features of the proposed APRSP. 1.2 PROJECT COMPONENTS The proposed project envisions following three components: Component A - Road Improvement: Based on traffic studies, this road improvement component has been subdivided into the following sub-components (I) Rood impmvemenl and gradotzon: Based on core network analysis, APRDC has selected about 900 krn of road for widening, upgradation and strengthening purposes. These roads w~llbe constructed by loan assistance from the World Bank. (ii) Pubiic- Private Portnership(PPP): APRDC has selected about 1200 krn of hgh traffic density road on PPP mode involving private entrepreneurshp (iii) Output and P~fomancebased Road Conrram (OPRC) :About 6500 krn of roads have been selected under ths sub-component. Component B - Institutional Strengthening component: This component will facibtate opera~onalizadonof APRDC, capacity bddmg of APRDC. Component C - Road safety component: ThIs component wdl help APRDCIRBD towards better management of traffic and other road safety issues through improved technical solutions. 1.2.1 Roads selected for road improvement and upgradation Rased on rnginecring, traffic, economic, environmental and social analysis, about 428 krn of road have been prioritized to improve under the project (APKSP Phase I). Further, the prolect (Phase I) roads hare been divided into Phase I A (about 208 km) and Phase I B (230) roads. The road corridors included under Phase-I A and proposed to be implemented in the Year 1 of the iZPSRP are indicated below. 1. Kandi-Shadnagar (69.90 Km) 2. Chttoor-Puttur (60.80 Krn)

Each one of the above mentioned road corridors are referred as Package (sub-project). The present document pertains to Kand-Sadhnagar (69.90 Km) road. Lst of all pnontized roads under phase I is attached as Annexure-I. 1.3 NEED OF THE PROJECT Andhra Pradesh is one of the most progressive states of Ida.The contribution of tertiary sector towards the State's economy has been on rise over the past decade. GoAP has taken step towards better fiscal and economic management, accelerating economic growth and lmprooing quality of life with its vision 2020" Improving infrastructure especially transport sector, to fachtate agricultural and industrial growth is key to acheving goals of Vision 2020. The State Road Policy (3005-2015) also aims at providmg an efficient, safe and environmentally sustainable road network in the State. Rut there are serious fu~ancial constrains on the del-elopment and maintenance of the state core road network and this is reflected 11-1 the budget allocation whch reveals huge gap berween actuai needs and resources available for capital and maintenance provision. Inda Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) 2004 has identified transport sector as one of the key hvers of economic growth. World Bank has realized that the proposed project (APRSP Phase-I) is consistent with the CAS requirement of worlung with the states and the sectors as identified. Based on the road policy CAS study, GoAP through Go1 has requested for financial assistance from the World Bank for APRSP. Dedsof component of APRSP are mentioned PID in 2006. This Social management Plan (SMP) is for Kandi-Sadhnagar (KS). 1.4 PROJECT BENEFITS The proposed KS sub-project wd have the following hect benefits: (i) Improved access for the population in the project area: The proposed project will provide ~ltalconnecurity to Bomay and Banglore highways. Traffic coming from Iiurnool side will use ths hghway as an alternate to the Outer hgRoad of Hyderabad whch is under construction. Improvement of this road will provide connectivity to Chcvela, SankarapaU~.I'ikarabad hmterlands with the above mentioned highways.
(ii) Economic boost in the area through easy access to Hgdrabad : The proposed project u!d improve accessil~htvto Hvderabad citv and Shamshabad international alrport. 'fis udl provide an opporrunitr. to investor to open neu. industries/SE% along the project ro:ld. 'There :trc rn:ln!- rechnlcal institutions :~lread!- csisting whch could be pi-o\,~dr 'human resources' as :in ulput to these upcoming industries. This, in turn. will increase. better econormc opportunities for the local people. (ii) Dc\-elopmcnt of smallel. towns: Chcvella and Sankarapalli tourns will get well conncctcd with th Hyderabad. Both thesc towns are also arc 'l'ahsil headquarters. Because of the mpr~)~edconnectl\-lt\ and proximi? to Hyderabad, these two small towns halve potenrial to become to I~ccomesatehte tau-ns of tlydcrabad. (iv) De\-clopmcnr of J:lor~culturc and Ltchen ga~d~ning:The improved connecti~lt!. ~vill boost changes in agricultural land use pattern (inducing cormnercializ;~uon of agriculture) along thc project area. It is expected that ths regon wd develop as ;in area for floriculture and vegetable farming to full fill the growing needs of Hydcrabad cit).. (v) Increased employment opportunities for thc local population: It is expected that after road construction there ~111be change in land use (especially along the road stretch). There w111 be more commercial establishments (shops, Dhaba/restaurants/ea% places,

small workshops serving the vehlcles moving on the project road etc). These activities will provide additional employment and increased wages in the project area. 1.5 THE PROJECT ROAD Kandi - Shadnagar road, a project road for whch hsRAP has been prepared, is a cluster of Major Dismct Roads (MDR) and Other District Roads (ODR). This project road is located in Telangana Regon of Andhra Pradesh. The project road starts at km 0/0 at Kandi (a junction with NH-9 at km 496/0 in Medak &strict) and runs in the south-east dnection connecting ShankarpaUl Chevella, Shaabad (in Rangareddy District) towns and terminates at Shadnagar (a junction with NH-7 at km 47/6) through SH-4 (km 3/000) in Mahboobnagar District. The cumulative length of the project road is 65.50 krn. It provides connectivity between NH-9 and NH-7 and would serve as a bypass to Hyderabad. It would be widely used by mterstate traffic. The carriageway / roadway width of the project road is not uniform. From the road inventory it is revealed that 98% of the project road is two lanes with small section of four lanes at Chevella. The width'of the earthen shoulder, in case of 2-lane road is varylng from 0.8 m to 2.0 m against the standard width of 2.5m. 1.6 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The proposed road improvement envisages 35 km of 2-laning with paved shoulder from Kand to Chevella and the remaining 30.5 krn of 4-laning from Chevella to Shadnagu junction. The proposed interventions involve improvement in geometry at sharp curves, realignment, raising of submerged stretches and provision of drains (both side and cross drains) along the entire stretch. To minimize the adverse impacts on the road side establishments, it is designed to confine improvements with in a minimum corndor of impact (COI) but without compromising technical standards. The proposed CoI in bullt-up area, open area and along four-lane section is 1Em, 25m and 30m respectively as shown m Fig. 1.1.

1.7 NEED FOR SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN As part of selection of roads for inclusion under the project, the identified roads had undergone detailed and staggered analysis. This helped in the preparation of detaded project reports includmg engmeering detads and social and environmental assessment aspects. The improvement proposal suggested 2 to 4 lanning of existing pavements. Besides detailed enpeering studes, a detailed social assessment includmg assessment of impacts on local landholders/users of land and tribal communities has been done as per the requirement of operational policies of the World Bank and the Government of Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policies (APRRP) 2005. One of the basic features of these social safeguard policies is to enhance, if not at least restore, the living conditions' of the people affected people and resettlement of those are getting displaced. Thus, the APRRJ? 2005 necessitates a socio-economic assessment of the impacts on project-affected persons (PAPS) based on indvidual losses. Resettlement and Rehabhtation (R&R) of PAPS intrinsically focuses on consultatton and participation with relevant stakeholders, primarily with the affected communities. All the RBiR measures included in the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) form part of the sub-project (Package) level SMP. A separate section in SMP is on assessment of impacts on tribal and a strategy to addtess issues related to affected tribal communities in the project corridor. S~darly,SMP also includes a section on other social issues includmg gender development and Road Safety measures. A separate HIV/AIDS Action Plan for the entire project (APRSP) has also been prepared which .has been referred to in thls SMP. Objectives of the SMP Avoid wherever feasible, or at least minimize involuntary resettlement, by explomg all viable project alternatives Determine the magrutude of adverse social impacts and propose mitigation measures with the agreedpohcy provisions Ouhne results of stakeholders' consultation and incorporate the outcome of these consultations in the social management plan Develop institutional mechanism for implementation of the RRrR activities and for monitoring and erraluauon of the R&R implementation process Address orher social issues related to vulnerable groups (includmg uibals), road safety measures and HIV/AIDS
Prepare a plan to address all social issues associated with the project 1.7.2 Need for and Scope of the Social Assessment In order to prepare SMP, there is a need to have a detailed social assessment of the project includmg an assessment of the lrnpacts (both positive and negative) resulting from the proposed project interventions. The activities undertaken as part of hsassessment includes *:* *:* ldentificatton of stakeholders
*:* *:* Identification of impacts Q Involvement of people in the assessment process
*:* *:* Consultauon wid1 the stakeholders to unprove quality of participatory plannlng

*:* Identification of vulnerable affected groups Based on the social assessment and impact analysis, stakeholders' consultation and R&R policy framework, a detailed Social Management Plan has been prepared. The detailed process adopted in the social assessment is described below 1.8' SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS ADOPTED The entlre social assessment has been done at different stages: + Strategic option study + Preliminary screening at Pre-feasibhty stage + Detaded screening at feasibhty stage
+ Detailed project report (DPR) preparation 1.8.1 Strategic Option Study STRATEGIC OPTION STUDY(SoS) has mdcated that the selected roads (about 2000 krn) for improvement under APRSP are socially acceptable with adequate miugation measures and suitable enhancement for sustainable social development. As mentioned earlier also these 2000 krn of key road network will be considered for Improvements and widening in phased manner. To prioritize the core network RDC has undertaken following stage wise analysis. Social assessment has been the integral component of such staggered analysis. 1.8.2 Preliminary Social Screening at Pre-Feasibility Stage Out of 2000 km length of roads, about 1300 km of lugh-densin corridors were identified by RDC for further screening by the consultants to identifi- about 300 km for mproxemenr and upgradanon under *4PRSP phase-I Roads. These corridors were selected from thrrc different regions of the state: Coastal Andhra. T'clengana and Rayalsceina. ,4t rhi~st;~gc. engincermg, ccc~nc~m~c,social and en~ironmentalparameters were accountrd for scrc.e~~in,y 535 km (135 km more than 300 km envisaged earlier) and screerung out the reru;illliny stretches.

Andha Pradesh Road Sector Project Feasibbty Study,- Design and DetaJled Engineering o Number of commercial structures affected o Total length of hgh critical segments o HIV/AIDS prevalence rate o Number of cwes and Junctions (Road Safety issues) These indicators were weighed based on importance of each parameter using ranlung methods. lks helped in assessing the social vulnerabihty of settlements towards proposed improvements. Prehmary screening helped in categorizing the roads (selected for screening) into low, melum and hgh social impact roads. Whlle no road qualified for a hgh mpact category, 3 roads are categorized as mehum Impacts and 4 roads as low social impact category (for details refer Feasibihty Report, May 2007). 1.8.3 Social Assessment at Feasibility Stage A detailed Social Assessment of each prolect road selected for improvement was camed out during the feasibihty stage. It covered identification of social hot spots; assessing the extent of land acquisition, number of potential PAFs and preparation of social management framework. Further, the feasibility study analyzed the location of alternative ahgnrnents; strateges for R&R management and institutional mechanism for implementation of SMP (refer Feasibility Report, August 2007). 1.8.4 Social Assessment at DPR Stage An extensive social assessment has been undertaken following the operational policy of the World Bank5 and the requirement of GoAP R&R Policy 2005. The assessment adopted . , Intensive field data collection and its analysis, community involvement in SA process to understand possible community conhcts especially for locating bypasses, relocating affected community resources Ue ponds, schools, hospitals because of project intervention and to . . .. undertake suggestions from the people to enhance planning prospective and induce sense of ownershtp of the project. 1.8.5 Analysis of Alternatives Though there are no sipficant congested areas along the project road, at Shankerpally, the speed gets reduced considerably because of many junctions, sharp curves/ bends, rail-road level crossing and one causeway. 'fie affected stretch is around 1.7km (from 16/900 to km 18/600). Due to restriction of skew angle between rail track and road crossing, the road geometry cannot be improved. As mentioned in Para 8.2.2 (F) of the Indlan Road Congress -- Code 62- 1976, it has been concluded that a grade separated rail-road crossing is warranted at thls location. Besides, there is causeway across river Musi, at 450m away from level-crossing,
whch needs to be reconstructed as hgh level bridge. The construction of high level bridge .. .. over river Musi and Road over Bridge (ROB) would be comphentaq to each other since - one side approach urould be common for both facilitics. Other side approach of ROB, along the realignment would provide improved geometry and serve as bypass to Shankerpah. - Three alternatives were analyzed for the bypass loca~on.Engineering, environment and soclal teams have fmahzed the best suited alignment. Details have been dscussed in Social Assessment Report.

1.9 MINIMIZING NEGATIVE IMPACT To minimize the adverse impacts on the roadside dwellers and business people, the following strateges were adopted: i. Most .of the widening and improvements have been proposed wihthe available ROW. ii. Locations where geometric improvements are required for free flow of traffic; the improvement wlll require LA beyond ROW. iii. There are three bullt-up locations at Kandi (lun 0/000-1/000). Shahbad (km 55/800- 56/400) and Sardarnagar (lun 62/000-62/300) where the project road passes through dense and congested locations. At Sankarapalh, a bypass has been proposed so as to avoid the most congested area on thls stretch at Sankarpah. iv. A Col of 18 m only has been considered for proposed improvements even though the Row is about 30m-35m. This strategy helped in reducing ~i~mificantlythe adverse impacts and hkely physical Isplacement. With mhmizing Col (18 m), the number of 600 PAFs found wihn Row, has been substantially reduced to 182 PAFs. Thus the average physical d~splacementis restricted to less than 3 P14Fs per kilometer. v. Even at many places where curve improvement is proposed, the soclal team worked closely nlth the technical team to analyze the resultant impacts. This helped in worlung out measures with a view to restrict LA at many curve improvement locations. Despite efforts made to minimize resettlement, some of impacts could not be avoided. These impacts have been identified and accordmgl~ mitigaaon measures have been proposed. These mitigations include stakeholder's consultation, RBtR Policy interventions and dovetahg ongoing government schemes for R&R. To establish the ehgbility of PAFs for their R&R benefits, the socio economic status of the project area and the project affected people were collected and results are Iscussed in the following sections. 1.10 METHODOLOGY The detailed methodologes adopted for Social .4ssessment haw already been dealt in the Social ,.\ssessment Report of the Project (prepared separately). I;oUou-inK section provides highlights of methodologies adopted for the preparation of K,\P and thcse includc collection of data from both primary and secondan sources.

In order to assess the extent of losses, measurement and survey of structures and other assets were carried out after finahation of design. To quantify losses, designs were superimposed on revenue maps. Basic schedule of rate (BSR) and market values were collected and accounted in the valuation of assets and properties to fialize budgetary requirement for compensation and implementing R&R activities. Consultation with key stakeholders includmg project functionaries at dfferent levels has provided needed information to develop institutional mechanism for implementation of RAP. 1.11 DATA SOURCES 1.11.1 Data from Secondary sources Following information were collected from the published documents to appreciate the project background, land ownership status. and statistical informanon required for basehne in forma tion.

Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project Feasibility Study, Des~gnand Detailed hP&nng A Step 11: Training and Capacity Building Field level Enumerators with sociological research background were selected from the University and Social Surveyor from NGOs and CBOs working in the project area. Enumerators had undergone two weeks of intensive training conducted by the resource persons of the consultants. The Social Experts of the Consultants and the Revenue officers (working for the project) have imparted training to the social survey teams. Explanation of terms used in the questionnaires, methods of getting information from potential PAPs, mechanism of social behavior, strategy of communication with respondents etc. were part of the training program. During training sessions, enumerators were exposed to role play of PAPs, to make them conversant with the situations in the field and approach required for collection of information through questionnaires, understanding and appreciating local situations etc. The survey teams were mobilized in the field after testing of questionnaire in the project area. Step 111: Preparation of Strip Maps In order to assess impacts on local population resulting from the proposed project interventions, structures cormng withm the ROW were marked, measured and~recordedon a stnp map. Th~salso included the typology of construction (such as pucca, semi-pucca, and katcha) based on construction materials used and the usage of structure hke for residential,

Accordmgly, proposed Corridor of Impact (CoI) was superimposed on Sqaru map to assess the exact extent of land required to be acquired/appropriated. Ths included measurement of Center hefrom the fixed boundary stone of vdlages in the field and from the fured location of boundary stone as shown in S+ru map (coorhates of dage maps). On identification of affected plots of land, the social teams lisited Tahsll offices of the two project dstricts to collect land records and to idenufil the owners of the affected plots along with their addresses and iomt holders (if any). Step V: Census and Baseline Survey On identification of actual impacts and hst of affected persons (titled and non- titled), questionnaires were designed for the Census Suivey and sample (25",n) baseline socioeconomic sunrey. These formats were canvassed with the potentially affected peoplc. The questionnaires included details regarding social and economic aspects of the affected persons such as demographc features (age sex conipos~uon. marital status erc) and economic information (occupation, sources of income, movable and immovable assets) of the households, expected 1ossesOoss of residential/cornmerclal or other properties as well as type of suucture (such as pucca, semi pucca, kutcha) and opuons/preferences for their R&K (hke cash in lieu of losses or site in lieu of losses) For details see -4nnexures 1.1, 1.3 and 1.3. Whde census survev has established the actual lrnpacts on the project affected fades in terms of severity, the perception and options for resettlement and rehabhtation were also captured, A 25Oh sample socio-econormc sunrey helped in profhng the socio-economic condmons of the PAFs . Step VI: Updating of Census Survey Data Rased on the final design duly approved by the APRDC, the census sunrey data was updated. List of PAFs along with the proposed corridor of mpact was x.erified IJ!. marhng of the centerline of the proposed corridor on ground. The &stance and offset of the assets and properties from the new centre hewere measured. This helped to arrive at the updated and final list of project affected persons. However, the implementing agencies/Package NGO will again update the census survey data during implementation of the project. Step VII: Stakeholders' Consultation Stakeholders' consultatlon was inluated as soon as thc assessment process commenced. (:onsultauon were planned to understand peoples' perception :md srck thcil- opinion for thc. success of project esecuuon. Consultation is also an important tool to gather qualitative data u.hich hclps in improving quality of planning. 1.ollonring steps have been follonui dunng stakeholders' consultanons.

Properly documenting all consultations Focused Group Discussions (FGD): Besides above mentioned consultation mechanism,
the project-. emphasized on issues based dtscussions with the stakeholders. Important issues dtscussed were the specific needs of women and other vulnerable groups, policies and other interventions required for LA and R&R, suateges for resettlement and relocation, options for alternative alignment etc. Findmgs of these consultations (FGDs) were instrumental in devising the social management plan. Step VIII Analysis of Data The interview schedules filled up eve? day were scrutinized and verified on the spot (project corridor) and the data-sheets were coded. A codmg manual was prepared for consistency in data entry. The MS-Excel software package was used for the data feedmg and its analysis. Wherever applicable, SPS package was also used to generate tables. As a measure of final confirmation about the correctness of the data, random manual calculations and checlung was also done. 1.12 STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT The report has been dvided in 9 chapters and brief description is given below.

CHAPTER - 2 : SOCIAL ASSESSMENT
2.1 GENERAL Th~schapter describes socio-economic profile of the project area and the project affected persons. This chapter also elaborates strategies required to minimize resettlement issues by adopting technically suitable and socially acceptable designs. Despite efforts made to mhmize such negative impacts, some of them could not be avoided and proposed project interventions may result in some displacement.
This chapter specifically analyzes the impacts 011 land and other inim~)vahleassets based on the detded measurement sunrey done after thc design imprc>vements are finalized. Based on the identified impacts on land and structures, a Census Sun;ey was carried out. 'The results of Census Sun-eg have established the existmg socio-economic status of PAFs and likely impacts on. their livehood. The Census Sunley has helped in identifying the nature and characteristics of R&R interventions requued to mitigate negatwc impacts of the proposed project. 2.2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE PROJECT AREA 2.2.1 General The project area is part of Gondwana carton has evidenced cluster warping because of tremendous lateral stress whlch resulted into metamorphosed rocks (Rneiss, quartazite) and uninterrupted denudation during precedmg geological era. Thus the landscape falls in the contour of 150-620 meter of an old plain, made of deeply dissected plateau of archaean gnesis and granite for most of the part with h~llocksof small rehef s towards Shadnagar slde. Weathering of rocks has produced 'Tor and Boulder' topography especiall!. in lower reaches towards Shadnagar. Tlie drainage is ineffective! longitulnal drains need to be provided. Only one river (Musi) flows through thls area near ShankarpaUl and J'elwarth!. udlages. ?'he entire project area falls m monsoon chate (Ad designated with steppe vegetation dominated by grasslands topography. Sub-grade soil and adiointnK local soil is black cotton soil and in isolated pockets the soil is red sod (Gravel). Grometncs arc. eas!. with flat

agricultural. main]\.~ dr\.~ or rainfed farming. 2.2.3 Socio -Economic Characteristics of the Project Area Afost of the people in the project districts are dependent on the agricultural activities. The Table 3.1 belou. indcates that the project area has poor del.clopmcnt indices p;~rticul;urlythr per-capita income and high proportionahty of non-workers (53.1-",11). The average hter:~c\ rate (54.lflh) of the district is also lower than the state average. Female work participation rate also very low (38.36%). Thus the socio-culmral indcators that the prolect region has, point to low development indces. One of the important features of the project area is that there are no tribal people in the project area; hence the project does not require preparation of a Tribal Development Plan.

The analysis is an attempt to describe the social. dernographc and econonllc profile of PAPs and to appraise the type of R8rR intenrention measures required to enhance the livelthood of PAPs. 2.3.1 Social Profile of PAPs 2.3.1.1 Families by Type of Loss Based on the final technical designs, losses were identified. Based on thls identification, a census survey of all identified PAFs and a sample socio-economic survey were cvnducted wihthe proposed CoI (refer figure 2.1). The data presented in Table 2.4 represent the categories of PAFs. Out of the total 182 PAFs identified, about 44"'o are from agriculture. 15.4O/0 from residential, and 40.6'/0 from commercial structures (Table 2.3). From among the total PAPS (1046), 161 are male members who are more than 18 pears. Being adult, these have been categorized as 'other fades' in the following Table.

The sex ratio is 842 female for every 1000 males and thls is lower than the State average of 978. Table 2.5 presents the &stxibution of the age-sex composition of PAPs by category of loss. In the project area, of the total P,4Ps, about 45.4% are those losing apcultural land, 17.6% residential structures and remaining 37% PAPs are losing businesses. Generally, those in the age group of 18-60 years are considered as economically active population and constitute 'work force'. The population in the active age group of 19-59 years constitutes about 59.6% (623) of the total population. This is relatively hlgher among males (58.81%) than females (60.45%).

Higher level of education is far less aniong socio- economically groups (SC) as compared to others. Since more than 65% of the PAPs are educated, social issues such as awareness about HIV/AIDS prevention, resettlement and rehabhtation options, compensation and project related decisions could be easily dscussed and communicated to a majority of then. Further, strategies for enhancement of livehhood wdl be relatively easier to implement through iraining and dovetahng ongoing Government schemes among these PL4Ps.

Among the non- workers, around half are either students or house-wife. With regard to economic participation among the PAPs, the activities related to apculture (farming and ac~vities ahed to a_gnculture, mainly animal husbandry) absorb a mere 5% of PAPs. .Agricultural labor is pursued by 4.3Oi) PAPs as their main economic source of sustenance. This explicitly indcates the dependence of P.4Ps on non-apcultural actiribes, mainly mahng use of the busmess/trade opportuni~esavailable along the road side and meeting the requircrnents of the road users. Alore than 17''o PAPs are engaged in trade and I~usinessactivities. hl:~ny of these businesses are associated with thc small economic actil-~uessuch as tiffin (S~I:IC~S) centers. tea centers, general stores. etc. hlost of these small businesses are run in structures constructed withn RnU'! and thus they earn their livehood from thesc roadside businesses.

Th~sinQcates that the SC groups are not only socially disadvantaged but also economically backward. Displacement of these social and economically backward people needs specific R&R interventions so that the adverse impacts of the project could be miugated effectively.

2.4.1.1 Type of Land Required An analysis of the affected plots after joint verification in the field and based on the assessment of ownershp status of land, it is ascertained that about 22.73 ha of private agricultural land wdl need to be acquired. Another 3.25 ha barren and uncultivated land, 1.25 ha orchard land and 2.35 ha of land in bdt up areas are required for the proposed improvements (Table 2.12). Of the total 29.58 ha required for the project, about 26.33 ha of land is under private ownership.

2.4.1.2 Impact on Road Side Structures Following Table (2.13) presents information on the adverse impact on the roadside structures (residential, commercial, residential-cum-coimercial) and luosks. It 1s observed that a total of about 1995 sq. mt of structures wlll need to be dsmantled to take up proposed road improvements. Th~sincludes 568 sqm of pucca (concrete cement roof and brick walls) structures, 1406 sq.mt semi-pucca (asbestos/zinc sheet with brick u~alls) structures and 20 sq.mt of katcha (thatched roof) structure. However, all these structures are found with in ROW and therefore, they are either squatters (1634 sq.mt) or encroachers (361 sq.mt).

The analysis is an attempt to e~tablishsocio- economic vulnerability of PAPS to understand the type of RBrR intervention measures required to enhance or restore their living condmons. Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIIl : Resettlement Action Plan 2-11 The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project Feaslbhty Study, Deslgn and Detailed hIpee~g 2.5.1 Identification of PAFs and PDFs As mentioned earlier, the Census survey along the road stretch has identified 182 PAFs, consisting of 1046 PAPS. About 44% of the total affected fades are those who lose apcultural land and the remaining 56% lose structures - 15.4% lose residential, 40.6% lose commercial structures including kiosks. In terms of physical displacement, about 44% of the total PAFs will need to be relocated (Table 2.14). Based on the provisions of the State R&R Policy applicable to the road sector, 25'/0 and more severance is considered as d~splaced.During consultation and census survey, it is reconfirmed that more than 25% severance causes sipficant damage to the affected structures and therefore wlll requixd to be relocated. From the Table below, it is established that there are altogether 80 PDFs in whch about 31.3% of the PDFs are d~splacedfrom residential, 13.7Oio commercial, 8.7% resi cum commercial structures. The remaining 46.3Oio are hosks whch will be moved to other locaaons before project construction is taken up. Table 2.14 summarizes the number of PAFs and PDFs.

Out of the total 182 fades, these account for 80 families. Th~snumber appears to be hgh but most of these fades lose only narrow strips of land. Out of total 80 PDFs about 52% (or 42 PDFs) are squatters (Table 2.1 5). Among squatters, about 60% are losing their residences and require relocation. The socio-economic and census surveys confirm that all these squatters are poor, ~ulnerableand mostly earn their livehhood from unorgamzed sector. Therefore, careful R&R support and assistance mechanism are requlred to ensure that aftrr relocation these farmlies are able to Improve or at least restore their livehhood.

The vulnerable groups among the affected community include those people who live Below Poverty Lme (BPL), Scheduled Caste (SC) and Women Headed pH) households Fable 2.16). There are no ST among PAFs in the project area. The survey identified 132 such cmlnerable fades and an overwhehng majority (93Oh PAFs) of these vulnerable is BPL fades. This analysis establishes a strong hect correlation between the econo~nicallyweaker (APL) sections and the sociall!~disadvantaged (SC, WHH) groups. Socially vulnerable (SC) groups comprise nearly 14O/;, of the total cdnerable PAFs. As indcated earlier as well as seen from the Table below, no tribal farmly is affected because of the proposed improvements. Du~gconsultations it was also pointed out tribal as a community is not in duect confhct with the proposed improvements. Therefore, no Tribal Development Plan (referred as IPDP also) is requued under the project.

The road improvement requires realignments, curve improvements and bypasses to ensute smooth and free flow of traffic. The proposed interventions entad acquisition of land and structures all along the road stretch. The project impacts are not significant because per kdometer land acquisition is about 0.45 ha and dsplacement is about 1.2 fades. However, majority those dsplaced belong to vulnerable groups. It was also observed that no uibal as a 'community' ud be impacted due to the project interventions and therefore no specific TDP is required. -. - - Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIll .

Andhra Radesh Road Sector Project Feaslbihty Study, Destgn and Detailed Engineering CHAPTER - 3 : POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR RESETTLEMENT & REHABILITATION 3.1 INTRODUCTION Government of Andhra Pradesh has formulated Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabhtation Policy (APRRP) in 2005. Ths policy outhnes the need and process of R&R planning, R&R entitlements, institutional arrangement for planning and irnplemendng RAP and its monitoring. As per APRRP 2005, land acquisition for developmental projects d be done through Land Acquisition Act PA)1894. However the detaded analysis of APRRP 2005 indcates that issues related to road projects have not been adequately accounted and addressed. Therefore, RDC proposed amendments in the policy to address R&R issues related to road projects and these have been approved by GoAP. In ths Chapter, an attempt has been made to describe LA process in the state, pro~lsionsof APRRP 2005 and the amendments made in the R&R enbtlement framework ;o address issues related to the PAFs of APRSP. 3.2 LA PROCESS IN AP Consultations with staff of Revenue Department (RD), R&B Enpeers on the assessment of LA process in the state revealed that LA procedures especially those relating to computation of compensation have been &verse for different projects with the State. Details of steps in LA process under the 1-4 Act have been presented in Chapter 5. It is worth mentioning here that LA Act (amended in 1984) 1894 follows a series of steps for compulsory acquisition of land for public purpose and in routine process it takes longer time for its completion. Quite often, to cut short hslengthy process, ,4cquiring Agencies resort to use of "Emergency Clause' (under section 17) of the LA Act 1894. However, the experiences from such LA processes (using emergency clause section 17) indicate that more often, ths LA provision has not been used in good sprnt of the project and it has gone against the interests of land losers. Recent experiences of compulsory acquisition for developmental project suggest that W through consent award (or direct negotiation) has been quite successful. Consent award not only provides an opportunity to PhFs for being heard and compensation norms negotiated and thls ensures actlve participation (thus eases implementation) of land losers in the LA process. It also provides satisfaction to affected persons because the compensation is mutually agreed. Equally important is that the time taken to complete 1.A process is much shorter than the normal LA process under LA Act. 3.2 SALIENT FEATURES OF APRRP 2005 The provisions of LA Act 1894 do not address the issues related to resettlement and rehabibtation of affected fades and do not guarantee the restoration of theit socio- economc status. More often, in the normal course of LA process the affected people (or thek representatives) are not consulted, resulting poor implementation and resentment from the affected communitjes. In order to address adverse impacts resulting from the LA for development projects, and to ensure the involvement of affected communities in their R&R process, GoAP has formulated the state R&R Policy (APRRP 2005) in May 2005 (Annexure 3.1). Accordmg to ths policy, acquisition of land and other properties for development projects will be done in accordance with the provisions of LA Act. However. APRRP 2005 envisages minimum &placement due to LA, enhancement of livelihood and the involvement of affected people Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIIl Resettlement Action Plan 3-2 The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project Feasibility Study, Des~gnand Detaled Enpeenng in the entire process of thelr resettlement. The policy appears to have been tailored towards lrngation and other infrastructure projects involving en-mass dsplacement of local population. The state policy Deheates affected zone and resettlement areas, provides guidelines on the procedures to be followed to undertake social survey and identify PAFs and PDFs, describe institutional arrangement for planning, implementing and monitoring of resettlement programs and grievance redress mechanism, etc. The policy describes categories- of PAFs and PDFs and specific R&R entitlements to help them in thelr R&R process. The policy also focuses on specific issues related to PAFs belongmg to schedule tribe population and provides addtional measures to help them enhance, ~f not, regain their lost livebhood. Analysis of the provisions of Al'RRP 2005, reveals that it addresses issues of R&K related to large-scale projects resulting in bulk dsplacement (presumabl~ in lrngauon and mining/industq sectors). Whereas issues related to linear prolects like roads/highn:avs construction and improvement have neither been identified nor addressed adccluatel!- in APRRP 2005. Changes m APRRP 2005 proposed to address R&R issues re1:lte.d to road sector project have been dscussed in later sections of hschapter. 3.2.1 Changes Required in APRRP 2005 for Road Sector Projects As mdcated earlier, APRRP 2005 is primarily prepared to address R&R issues of en-mass dsplaced population, especially from irrigation projects. It is for hsreason that the policy delineates affected zone and resettlement areas. Thls type of en-mass dsplacement is not envisaged under the proposed project. Road sector projects generally require strip acquis~tionof land (particularly for widening and geometric improvements), resul~ngm dspersed dsplacement along the selected road corridors. Further, majority of those getang dsplaced from the existing roads (proposed for widening and improvement) are non- titleholders (squatters, encroachers) without alternate shelter or source of livelhood. Talung into account the nature, characteristic and estent of potential adverse impacts in the road sector. APRDC has identified issues that are drectlv related to hssector but have not been addressed adrquntely in the state R&R policy. APRDC conducted a polic\*gap analysis 2nd identified lssucs specific to the road sector that have not been addressed uhder .\I'RRI) 2005. Idor thew specific issues, ,IPRDC has worked out necessan changes recluired in :41'Rlil' 2005 to Ilelp the I'-4Fs in thelr R&R process. Furthcrmore, for I3ettcr appl~cabill> of the polic\- on grr)und. proriding adequate R&R col-erage to a11 elipI,le I'..\Fs and cnsurlng smooth implernentation, AI'IIDC conducted (through thc feasibilin- consultanrs of thc 'road Improvement component' of the proposed APliSP to be funded by tl~eV;.'orld I3ank) social surveys (baselme and census) and stakeholders' consultations. These social sunTeys and consultation helped in better understanclmg of the issues, particularl\. those relatine to tht. affected people with no proper ownership records to the land/structures rec~uiredfor the project. The social sun.e\-s also endorsed dfferent impacts identified in tht. proposed amendinent to AIJKKI' on the roadside communities in terins of the type and estent of losses, displacement and nccd for resettlement site and tenanc! status such as sr1u:~tter encrc~;~cherand urleholders. GoAP has approved the proposed amendment u-ithln the R&R policy frameu-ork of vide Memo. No. 13236- dated 25/01/2008). Approved amendments to the state R&R Polic! have becn appended as Annexure 3.2. The state R&R policv (2005) along with these amendments u;dl be applicable to all road projects of APKDC. 3.3 DEFINITIONS In the following section, dehtions of addtional terms urhlch are applicable to the road sector projects are presented. Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIII . Resettlement Action Plan 3 - 3 The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project Feasibility Study, Design and Detailed Enpeenng -,. . Encroacher: is a person/farmly, who transgressed into the public land (prior to the cut-off date), adjacent to hts/her own land or other immovable asset and derives his/her livelihood (either for houslng or for commercial purpose). Squatter: is a person who has settled on public land without permission or has been occupying public bddmg without authority prior to the cut-off date. Note:,Affected squatters (PAPS) with alternate housing wdl not be entitled (and will not be listed) for R&R support. Kiosks: Under the project, a Qosk is also a squatter but with a removable structure (with front side open). Generally hosks do not suffer any loss due to project hterventibns but may require some support in shftmg their kiosks. Thts category does not include ambulatory vendors. However, if such vendors are in a group, they will be considered as 'group of kiosks'. Share-Croppers of agriculture land: are those who cultivate land of a khatedar (land owner) on agreed terms of sharing cost and returns. These are regstered sharecroppers. Vulnerable PAFs: In addition to what is included in the state policy (APRRP 2005), the vulnerable groups among the affected community will include those belongmg to BPL, SC, . . ST, destitute, physically handicapped, landless laborer. Among these are also included those whose durelhg units@ely to be affected) are made of grass and fragile materials (katcha house) and do not have alternate shelter or livelihood. Cut-off Date: Where IA affects legal titleholders, the cut-off date will be the date of issue of secbon 4(i) of the LA Act 1894 but for those who lack title to the land and assets required for the project, the cut-off date for their identification and RR entitlement wdl be the date of census survey. . 3.4 BROAD PRINCIPLES TO BE FOLLOWED UDNER APRSP The broad pnnctples that be followed m planmg and mplementmg R&R activlnes are gven below. IA causmg dsplacement wiU be avoided/minimized, LA wdl be done under the provisions of the LA Act 1894, In order to ensure replacement value of land, L4 Act provides for consent award (setthg compensaoon through nego~ations).Consent award wrll be done through a :..:. -- committee at the District/sub-project level as per the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Negotiation Comrmttee Rules 1992. (Details are mentioned in chapter 5) Disbursement of compensaaon will be done prior to actual construction. .. - The vulnerable affected families not having alternate source of livehood or shelter will be supported by the project for alternate housing and for opportunities to enhance their Iivel~hood. Preference will be given to ST fades in allotment of resettlement site (if developed under the project). Addluonal support wrll be gven for customary rights lost or use of forest produce.

This wdl also help in updating their R&R options and issuance of IDCards to eligible PAPS The Package NGO wd record options and preferences (if changed) of each PAP about R&R enutlement regularly The Package NGO will organize public meetings to inform the community about the disbursement of R&R entitlements to the eligible PAPS. Ilpdated status of SMP/RAP implementation will be placed for public &splay at Package office Particlpation of local (includmg affected) communities wlll also be ensured tluough their involvement in various local committees such as, VLC, DLC, and R&R Committee (for addressing grievances). SMU and package level engineers wlll maintain an ongoing interaction with PAPs to Identify problems and undertake remedial/correction actions. 4.6 INPUTS FROM CONSULTATION ON IMPLEMENTATION OF SMP/RAP 4.6.1 Consent Award FoUowing the LA Act 1894, PAPs seldom receive compensadon at replacement value. In order to help PAFs in their economc rehabhtation process, consent award should be preferred. Therefore, APRDC should devise a mechanism in such a manner that compensatlon norms reflect true market value. 4.6.2 Lead Responsibility for APRDC 11s per APRRP, implementation of KAP lies entirely wid1 the District Adrmnistration through AdnGstrator. However, the R&R policy framework for the project u7arrants active involvement of APRDC with close coordination of relevant District Abstration m Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIII Resettlement Action Plan 4-8 The Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Supported by Package NGO, hs would help effecnve lrnplementatlon of SMP/RAP and better synchromzauon with the construcnon schedule of the project 4.6.3 Least disturbance to affected people Information collected during census survey estimated magmtude of displacement because of proposed road improvement. The APRRP 2005 together with agreed amendments (for the road sector) provide basis for effective R&R of PAFs. During consultation, people have suggested to relocate PAFs very near to their existing habitats. Therefore it is essential that dsplaced fades are settled near the place of displacement. Some of the resettlement models included in RAP try to ensure relocation of PDPs nearer to their original places. 4.6.4 Community Participation in Afforestation As per provision of WALTA Act of Government of .Andhra Pradesh compensatoq afforestation will be done through FD. Communi? consultations suggested to plant local species, uchlch provide shelter to the people (Canopy building trees) and fruit bearing tree5 It would be useful local level organizations (IKP groups/\'SS) m afforestauon and maintenance of plantauons. For this purpose, fachtatmg NGO and package manager should coordmate with the agencies involved in plantation. 4.6.5 Enhance CPRs Presently, CPRs are generally neglected in road Improvement activities whlch not only dsturb the dependency of local communities for their fodder and fuel bur also create conficts at the time of construction activities. However, during consultation local communities expressed their hgness to cooperate with RDC in the enhancement of CPRs mcludmg religous structures. Thus involvement of local cornmu~lltiesis crucial for relocation, maintenance and enhancement of CPRs affected by the proposed project interventions. 4 Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIII : Resettlement Action Plan 4-9 The Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Existing kght of Way (ROW) of the project road varies from 20m-30m. Therefore .- LA is needed for improvement of road. The project road under improvement requires curve improvements at some locations, site therefore, at these locations a land acquisition have been proposed. The extent of private land to be acquired is estimated at 29.58 ha as detailed below.

As elsewhere in Indla, LA in AP is also guided by the LA Act (amended) 1984 except acquisition for Central Government projects which are done under special LA Acts. However, recent experiences of compulsory acquisition in large-scale project suggest that LA.through consent award (through negouation) have been quite successful and time saving. LA Act (amendrnent)l894, follows a set of defined steps for processing acquisition of land and other immovable assets. These steps are mandatory in nature and could take about 12- 14 months to complete the award if done with right earnest. However, the experiences lnQcate a much prolong process and take years for its con~pletion.Table 5.2 explains steps mvolred in the LA process and ideal merequired to complete them.

Land free from all encumbrances has to be provided to the contractor before initiating the construction. NO construction will be allowed under the project unless the land required for civil works is acquired, compensated and handed over to the contractor. It means that entire LA process up to sect& 11 of the LA Act should be completed before the construction. Stepsmentioned in LA Act is a time consummg process. Ideally, the LA processes could take 12-14 months to complete declaration of ward and payment of compensation. Cross-comdors examples of sdarnature of projects (using consent award) indcate that the time requirement could be reduced substantially if the LA follows hect purchase from land holders. For example, steps from section 4(1) to section (9) of LA Act normally take 4-8 months to complete under normal course of LA whde the entire process of LA could be completed wib5 months using 'consent award approach as detaded below.

Section/Steps in LA under Normal Consent for consent award course of LA Award Total 12 months 2.5 months Above mentioned table indcates that time period of these steps could be shortened if duect involvement of PAPS and District Administration is ensured and consent award approach is adopted. Findngs of consultation suggested that the involvement of communities in LA process would ensure not only more transparency but also help land losers to get compensation at the prevahng land market. Advantages of consent award can be summarized as It ensures market ~alueof the land and properties. Time penod for land acquisition is minimized It provides an opportunity for PAFs to be part of the project and theu acuve involvement are ensured. Transparency in the entire process is ensured Since consent award is through negotiation, there are little chances of arbitrauon and reference to the court 5.4 PROCFDURE FOR VALUATION 5.4.1 Compensation for land Land sunreys for payment of compensation will be done on the basis of updated official records and pound level situation. The land records will be updated relating to title, land classification and the current use of land for ensuring adequate cost compensation and allotment of land to the land losers. For determining classification and current use of land, official records as they are on thc cut-off date {the date of 3(1) noufication) will be taken into consideration. According to the IA,4 manual, the normal LA process determines the compensation norms based on any one of the three procedures: (i) Average Stamp Repstrauon Kate for Past Five l.ears; (ii) Cuclc Ratcs; (iii) Crop I'roductix-17 Rates and assessmcnr of land 1-aluc based on participaton methods. T'liese are explained below. (i) Average Stamp Registration Rate: The land rate based on the sale deed of a plot 1s collected from the office of the Registrar. f'or each project affected village. these rccords u.111 be collected, based on whch an average rate of sale of land -.dl he worked out. (ii) Circle Rates: The Circle rates, both for agricultural and non-agicultural land. representln~the market x.alue of land as per Clrclr Rare hletl~odwill be collected from tht. office of the Rcglstrar for all prolect-affecred x4iagt.s (iii) Replacement Cost based on Crop Productivity: 'To find out the market value (in market) of land h!. crop productivity method, the follouring sources of data wd be used: (i) Report on Socio-Economic Review of i\P; (11) Mandal-wise production of dfferent crop for last five pears(iii) the standard producuon and yield of crops (kg per hectare). To arrive at the yield/productivi~of land, the productiv~tyfor last five years on the crop production udl be collected from various revenue offices. The data so collected wlll be used for calculating three sets of productivi~rate per square meter for hghly/me&um/low productivity of land, dependmg on whether mgated, partly irrigated or un-irrigated. The average market rate of dfferent crops available with the Agnculture Production Market Committee (APMC) wdl be used. The actual producuvity value of crops in reference periods Detailed Project Report, Vol - VIII : Resettlement Action Plan 5-5 The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project Fhasibhty Study, Deslgn and Detailed Engineering is calculated by multiplying the actual crop production and the average market price. The average productivity value is be derived by takmg the average of all crops over a period of last five years. The market value is calculated as 20 times the average productivity. (iv) LA by Negotiation (Consent Award): Efforts wiU be made to acquire land by mutual negotiation between the landholders and the project in the presence of LAO. For th~s purpose, a committee wd be constituted as per provision of The Andhra Pradesh Land Acquisition (Negotiation Committee) Rules 1992 Action for negotiation will commence only after enqulry and award by the Collector and approval of prehary value (this value generally circle rate along with solatium and interest is minimum base value to initiate negotiation) under section 11 of LA Act 1894 (G.O.is attached as ,4nnexure 5.1). Followmg the LA negotiation committee act 1992, the composition of committee shaU be as follow. SI.

In such cases, serious dfficulties are faced during negotiations and thls could lead to either underpayment to the land losers or break up of negotiations. One such case has been presented below (see the box) where the land loser was paid compensation less that the prevaihng market land value. iZPSHP package unit along with facilitating NGOs will assess value of the land independently in consultauon with properv7 dealers. potential buyers and potential sellers. The rate of each plot ud be computed and prescnted in the regular general meetlngs of concerned village for approval of rates. 'She rate so apprvvcd by the ~riUagerswiU undergo two courses.

Generally, the participatory method of land valuation will be considered at the --. Detailed Project Report, Vol- VIII : Resettlement Action Plan 5-6 The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Andhra Pradesh Road Sectoi Project Feaslbillty Study, Des~gnand Detded Enpeermg places where even consent award is also not sufficient to ensure the replacement value. However hs methodology is used seldom because the compensation norms arrived through hsparticipatory process is tune talung - first it 1s required to be recommended by the District level Project Monitoring Committee and then it is to be approved by the Government. Approach to Ensure Replacement Value of land: Lessons learnt from the dfficulties experienced in the previous projects with regard to the valuation of land, there is a need for a lot of exercise on the land market sunTeyduring the planning stage itself, For this purpose. the survey team should conduct a market survey of the potential buyers. and sellers. on the prices being transacted. Discussions need to bc held with the real estate agents. The assessment should also consider the land values obtalned during census/socio-economic survey and stakeholders' consultation @arucularlv with PAPS). These rates are compared with registered rate as indicated in Table 5.4. ~fterexamining the market situation, it is ascertained whether the estimarcd compensation norms represent the replacement value and whether it is more or less than the market ralue. Where compensation norms are not representative of replacement value, the compensation along with rehabhtauon assistance should ensure replacemcnt value.

However, PAPs wd be allowed to take away the consrmction material that could be salvaged from their houses and shops etc. and no deduction wdl be made on hsaccount. A notice will be issued to all the affected to take away the materials so salvaged wih the prescribed time of the demolition of their structure. If hsis not removed, then the project will hspose off the - same without gving any further nonce. PAPS receiving compensation for trees wlll be allowed to take away timber of their acquired .- trees for their domestic use.

Besides the -. proposed LA, road improvement urlll displace people from about 25 residential structures, 11 commercial, 7 residence-cum commercial and 37 kiosks structures. As per APRRP 2005, PAFs will be supported by the project dependmg upon the severity of impact to help them .- enhance, if not restore, their economic livelihood. Besides the compensatian under'L4 Act, PDFs will be entitled to R&R supports as per their eligibihes lscussed in previous chapter. Efforts wdl also be made to dovetail on-going Government schemes both in the relocation of lsplaced fades and restoring their livekhood. Linhg resettlement program under the project with current Indira ](ranti Patham (IKP) will be one of the strategies to dovetail government schemes. 6.2 EXTENT OF DISPLACEMENT Though most of Improvement is being done wihthe existing Row', there are a number of .... ~.r: . vdlages where lsplacements are inevitable because of clearing the encroachment of ROW for widening as well as geometric and curve improvements.

Efforts will be made to ensure that PDFs op~gfor self relocation ident~h: theu relocation sitcs (for residence/cornrnerclal unit) and finalize the deal with relcvant sellers of land. If the number of such PDFs is more than 10. project would provide basic site amenities and prepare a lay out for plots for allotment to PDF. The self-relocation option is most suited to those who would be losing theu privately owned land and structures. (b) Developing Resettlement Site: If required, project would develop sites for reloca~g fades dsplaced from their houses and shops. This option is found suitable in areas where RDC land (old ROW) is available after geometric improvements, junction improvement or road Improvements. Site development for relocating shops wdl follow a particular pattern for allotment to eligble PDFs. In these commercial sites, shops wdl be constructed under the project. PDFs who get these constructed shops will forego theu entitlement for alternate site and shop construction grant.
