Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i. The Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP) through the Government of India (GOI) has requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) to partly fund the Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Program (HPCETIP) in the state of Himachal Pradesh (HP). HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited (HPPTCL) is both the Executing Agency (EA) and Implementing Agency (IA) for the project. The loan has been effective and Tranche 1 is under implementation. The Resettlement plan has been prepared for Tranche 2 subprojects of the investment program as part of the preparatory due-diligence work. Based on the nature, scale and significance of expected impacts, Tranche 2 under the investment program has been classified as Category “B” for impact on Involuntary Resettlement (IR) as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. Tranche 2 subprojects such as transmission line routes, tower footings and substations have been identified based on available engineering design. This work has been completed for most subprojects, while for a few, the work is currently on-going, with initial screening and scoping surveys being carried out to determine the nature, scale and extent of impacts. The design for some of the subprojects will be finalized shortly. Hence, for certain subprojects, this RP will be updated based on final design which will occur prior to implementation. ii. The Tranche-2 of HPTECIP subprojects consist of 10 proposed substations/pooling stations and 8 transmission lines which are as follows:

COMPONENT I. Bhabha Nagar PIU (Kinnaur District) subprojects • Subproject S1 - 66 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) switching station at Urni. • Subproject T1 - 66 kV double circuit (D/C) transmission line from 66 kV GIS Urni switching station to Wangtoo GIS substation (13.382 kms)

HPPTCL is both the EA and IA for the project. The Project Management Unit (PMU) at corporate level is headed by Senior Project Manager (Planning) who will be assisted by DGM’s from various functions – Administration and Finance, Projects Planning and Design, Procurement and Contracts, Environment and Social Cell and Projects Construction Units. Project Implementation Units (PIUs) at divisional level of the project construction unit are headed by Executive Engineers at four locations – Rohru (Shimla), Chamba, Bhabanagar (Kinnaur) and Sarabhai (Kullu). The Environment and Social Cell (ESC) at the corporate level monitors the policy and implementation of safeguards impacts of all projects managed by HPPTCL. The ESC Environment and R&R Officers assist PIUs in all safeguard aspects of the subprojects in compliance with HPPTCL’s Environment and Social Safeguards Policy, May 2011. The ESC is also responsible for implementation of the Environmental Management Plan and Resettlement Plan for ADB funded subprojects. As per ADB’s SPS 2009, PMU and ESC are required to conduct regular monitoring of safeguards compliance of each subproject funded by ADB to ensure compliance with project covenants

iv. The subprojects will have minor involuntary resettlement impacts. Out of the 10 proposed substations, 5 will be built on government land which does not require land acquisition and the remaining 5 are proposed to be on private land for which land will be acquired or purchased. The total land required for the 10 proposed substations/pooling stations will be 12.589 hectares (ha), of which, 6.517 ha belong to government and 6.073 ha are under private ownership. Land acquisition will affect a total of 43 households. All affected households will be compensated in cash prior to the start of construction works. No physical displacement will occur during the implementation of Tranche 2. No one is expected to lose 10% or more of their productive resources or livelihoods, therefore impacts associated with land acquisition are deemed to be minor and insignificant in nature. Two women headed households will be affected. These fall under the “vulnerable” category and thus will receive additional compensation commensurate with the type of impacts suffered. Peoples living along the transmission line (8 numbers) corridors will suffer from temporary impacts limited to loss of one season of crops and trees along the Right of Way (RoW) of the lines. Most of the tower footings will be on government/forest land. Where towers are placed on private land, HPPTCL will pay appropriate compensation per the RP. Land required for each tower will not exceed 225 square meters (220 Kv lines), equivalent to 15 meters x 15 meters maximum. According to preliminary assessments, approximately 240 fruit trees will be affected by transmission lines. Preliminary assessment on the loss of crop area has been done based on approximate calculation which shows that approximately 55.594 ha of crops will suffer from temporary impacts affecting one productive season. In consultation with affected persons (AP’s), impacts have been assessed as insignificant in nature, scale and magnitude.

v. Consultations were carried out with stakeholders from February to September 2012 during the preparatory safeguard due-diligence work. As an integral part of the safeguards planning process, affected persons and local communities were consulted during the preparation of Tranche 2 safeguards documents, i.e., the resettlement plan (RP) and initial environmental examination (IEE). Stakeholders including project affected communities, and relevant government officials will continued to be consultedduring the disclosure period of this RP, prior to project implementation . HPPTCL will provide relevant resettlement information in a timely manner in an accessible place and in a form and language (Hindi/English) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. The draft and final RP will be disclosed on ADB’s website and HPPTCL’s website. vi. Through its Environment and Social Safeguards Policy, HPPTCL has established a

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 3

Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) having suitable grievance redressal procedures for the project affected persons. The grievance redress mechanism would promptly address affected persons’ concerns and complaints, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the affected persons at no costs and without retribution. The GRM consists of a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) headed by a Project head and consists of the Head of Finance wing at the project level, a representative of local Panchayat and affected persons, a representative of the contractor, and project Environment and resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) staff. Minor grievances will be raised and addressed at the PIU level. Grievances not redressed by the PIU staff (field level) will be brought to the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at the PMU level. The GRC will meet every month (if grievances are brought to the Committee), determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint. APs will have the right to approach other appropriate forums or a Court of Law for redressal simultaneously if the need arises.

vii. The policy framework and entitlements for the Program are based on the following national laws: - the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LAA, amended in 1984) when private land acquisition is required; - the National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP); and - ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009 and resettlement and indigenous peoples framework document prepared for the HPCETIP under the MFF facility. The resettlement process also considers the following HPPTL’s policies (i) Environment and Social Safeguard Policy, May 2011 (ESSP) and (ii) Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy, May 2011 (RRRCP). Compensation for lost assets will be paid on the basis of replacement cost. Resettlement assistance for lost income and livelihoods will be provided to both title holders and non-title holders. Special resettlement and rehabilitation measures will be made available to the vulnerable groups. APs entitled for compensation or rehabilitation provisions under the Project are as follows (i) APs who lose land covered by legal title/traditional land rights, or without legal status; (ii) registered / non-registered tenants and sharecroppers; (iii) owners of buildings, crops, plants, or other objects attached to the land; and (iv) APs losing business, income, and salaries. Compensation eligibility is limited by a cut-off date to be set for the subproject. viii. The resettlement cost estimate for Tranche 2 subproject includes eligible compensation, resettlement assistance and support cost for RP implementation and monitoring. These are part of the overall project cost. The total land acquisition and resettlement cost for Tranche 2 subprojects is estimated to be INR 187.90 million (equivalent to USD 3.61 million). The cost estimate is tentative and shall be updated based on detailed design and assessment. All land acquisition, resettlement, and compensation for each sub- project will be completed before the award of civil works contracts. All land required will be provided free of encumbrances to the contractor, prior to the start of civil works. Public consultation, disclosure of information and implementation and performance monitoring will continue on an as needed basis during the duration of the project.

ix. Monitoring of resettlement activities will be the responsibility of HPPTCL through it’s PMU/PIU and ESC. It will submit bi-annual monitoring reports to ADB for review. The extent and scope of monitoring will be commensurate with the nature and severity of the project’s risks and impacts. ADB will require HPPTCL to establish and maintain procedures to monitor the progress of implementation of safeguard plans including this RP; verify the compliance with safeguard measures and their progress toward intended outcomes; document and disclose monitoring results; where necessary identify corrective and preventive actions in the periodic monitoring reports; and follow up on these actions to ensure progress toward the release of entitlements and benefits prior to commencement of construction. On payment of all compensation to project affected people as identified in the entitlement matrix (Table 9), a completion report associated with the resettlement plan will be provided by HPPTCL through its PMU to ADB for review.

I. INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Background

1. The hydropower generation potential of Himachal Pradesh is estimated to be 23,000 MW, approximately one-fourth of the total hydropower potential of India. In its Hydropower Policy (2007)1, the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP) seeks to become the "hydropower state" of the country. The state's hydropower development includes construction of enabling infrastructure such as road access and transmission interconnections to facilitate hydropower development, and to encourage investment from the state, central government and private sectors in hydropower generation projects—the majority of which are run-off-river type. This will improve state finances from sales revenue earned from supplying surplus power to the national grid. In addition to developing its hydropower resources, HP needs to expand its electric transmission infrastructure so that the additional power can be efficiently transmitted within the state and exported to the national grid.

2. For improvement, strengthening of existing and building of new infrastructure for effective power evacuation, the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP) through the Government of India (GOI), has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a multi- tranche financing facility (MFF) to partly finance the power sector investment program in the state. The investment program covers investments for transmission of clean energy to the national grid through the construction of pooling substations and EHV transmission lines.

3. The Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Program (HPCETIP) is a $350 million MFF that aims to support sustainable economic development and growth of the energy sector in HP through the expansion of clean sources of energy and an efficient and reliable electricity network. HPCETIP will produce the following outcomes: (i) increase availability of clean energy downstream at pooling stations for effective power evacuation in a financially sustainable manner, (ii) improve state finances and power sector financial viability from sales revenue earned from power exports, (iii) improve sector governance, (iv) improve capacity in Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited for better planning, implementation and management of power evacuation infrastructure, and energy efficiency, and (v) improvement in implementation standards of environmental and social safeguards in the sector. With ADB support, the proposed program will sustain the energy sector reform agenda, and is expected to help attract other long-term financiers to the state.

4. The proposed Tranche 2 subproject consists of components located in Chamba, Kullu, Kangra, Kinnaur, Mandi and Shimla districts of Himachal Pradesh. Table 1 gives the investment component costs. The following sections present each of these components.

5. Tranche 2 sub-projects are estimated to cost US$155 Million (including contingencies and interest during construction). HPPTCL is both the Executive Agency (EA) and Implementation Agency for the project. The Project Management Unit (PMU) shall be headed by a Senior Project Manager (Planning) located at the corporate level in the State capital of Shimla. The head will be assisted by corresponding personnel from various functions – Administration and Finance, Planning and Design, Procurement and Contracts, Environment and Social Cell (ESC) and Project Construction units. The divisional Project Implementation Units (PIUs) will in turn be headed by Executive Engineers located at four geographic locations across the state.

B. Description of Tranche 2 Subprojects

6. Due to the fast emerging energy demand in the country, there is a distinct need to strengthen and expand the transmission networks. With a number of new projects planned in Pabbar, Sangla, Ravi, Beas, Satluj River basins, HPPTCL seeks to construct an Integrated Transmission System in the area due to limited corridor availability and mountainous terrain constraints. This will take care of network reliability and redundancy in the system to evacuate power in case of an outage of any transmission line because of unforeseen conditions. A brief description on each subproject is provided in following section.

7. The proposed sub-projects are located in different areas of the HP state. Table 2 indicates details of the proposed sub-project locations and Figure 1 provides general location

C Scope of Work and Methodology Adopted

8. The Resettlement Plan (RP) has been prepared for Tranche 2 Subprojects under HPCETIP. Based on the nature, scale and significance of expected impacts, Tranche 2 under the investment program has been classified as Category ‘B’2 for impact on Involuntary

2 A proposed project is classified as category B if it includes involuntary resettlement impacts that are not deemed significant which means less than 200 or less persons will experience major impacts, which are defined as (i) being physically displaced from housing, or (ii) losing 10% or more of their productive assets (income generating). The level of detail and comprehensiveness of the resettlement plan are commensurate with the significance of the potential impacts and risks. A resettlement plan is required for category B projects.

Resettlement (IR) as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The draft RP will need to be updated and finalized based on detailed design which will occur prior to implementation.

9. This draft RP comprises baseline socio-economic data of sample population across the subproject areas, public consultations, and site specific census surveys of affected households for permanent land acquisition for which site locations have been finalized. Observations were made between February to September 2012 along the proposed transmission line tower locations, as well as in and around the proposed premises for new substations. Routes visited were based on the current alignments considered feasible by HPPTCL. The final line alignment may vary slightly after the exact demarcation of tower locations. Field surveys were also undertaken to assess the physical and biological environment. The field studies were supported by data collected from primary and secondary sources. For some3 of the transmission line and substation sub-projects, the substation specific topography survey and the transmission line route survey works are underway. The data regarding fruit/non-fruit trees being affected, and land details are being collected by HPPTCL. This supplementary information will be provided for each of these subprojects for which detailed survey is underway by HPPTCL to ADB for prior approval before awarding the construction contract for that respective subproject. Therefore, it may be noted that for some subprojects, certain detailed surveys for route alignments and substation sites are underway. However, initial assessment has been done based on site observations for all subprojects. Once these data are available and detailed design is finalized, the same will be incorporated in to the draft RP to update/finalize the current version and ADB’s approval will be requested as appropriate,

II. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT

10. The project will have minor involuntary resettlement impacts. Tranche 2 is comprised by 10 grid substations/pooling stations and 8 transmission lines. Of the 10 proposed substations, 5 substations4 will be built on government land; while the remaining 5 substations5 are being proposed on private land for which land will be acquired /purchased. The total land required for the 10 proposed substations/pooling stations will be 12.589 hectares (ha), of which, 6.517 ha belong to the government and 6.073 ha are under private ownership.

11. Total of 8 transmission lines6 will have temporary impacts which are limited to loss of one season of crops and trees along the RoW of the lines. Most of the tower footings will be on government/forest land. Where towers are placed on private land, HPPTCL will pay appropriate compensation per the RP. Land required for each tower will not exceed 225 square meters (220 Kv lines), equivalent to 15 meters x 15 meters maximum. According to preliminary assessments, approximately 240 fruit trees will be affected by transmission lines. Preliminary assessment on the loss of crop area has been done based on assumption7 (RoW and

percentage of general crop area as per the land use pattern of HP) which shows that approximately 55.594 ha of crops will suffer from temporary impacts affecting one productive season. In consultation with affected persons, impacts have been assessed as insignificant in nature, scale and magnitude.

12. Land acquisition will affect a total of 43 households. All affected persons will be compensated in cash prior to the start of construction works. No one is expected to lose 10% or more of their productive resources and therefore impacts associated with land acquisition are deemed to be minor and insignificant in nature. No loss of livelihood is foreseen. Two vulnerable households8 will be affected which are women headed households. Brief description on impacts on land acquisition and resettlement is given in Table 3 and summary of land acquisition and resettlement is given in Table 4. Details on Tranche 2 subprojects and its impact on land acquisition and resettlement including status of land ownership etc are given in Annexure 2.

III. SOCIO ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE

A. General 13. Himachal Pradesh is a relatively “rich” state, compared to the rest of the country. Himachal Pradesh is considered as a model of mountain area development, with relatively low poverty rates (7.63%). The success of the region is attributed not only to a prosperous rural economy and high levels of per capita government expenditure but also to focused public interventions, greater participation of women and strong local institutions. Having obtained the status of “tribal state”, the people of HP have benefited from investments and subsidies from the central government. In addition, the State government has approved a series of pro-poor policies, including the abolition of tenancy which resulted in a redistribution of land to the landless to fight exploitation of labor and increase the productivity of the land. As of today, most of the population of HP is recorded as owning some land (with the exception of the Nepali migrant workers) and most landowners have invested in the highly profitable apple orchards business. The local population will benefit from the Project as it will provide them with a more secure and reliable source of electricity. According to the Human Development Report, 2002 of Himachal Pradesh, life expectancy at birth was 62.8 years higher than the national average of 57.7 years for the period 1986-90. Infant Mortality Rate has fallen from 118 in 1971 to 62 in 1999 (almost half). Decline in crude birth rate from 37.3 in 1971 to 22.6 in 1998 below the national average of 26.5 in 1998 as also crude death rate from 15.6 in 1971 to 7.7 in 1998. The female work force registered an increase from 37.07 per cent in 1981 to 43.66 per cent in 2001. Incidence of income poverty is high, especially in rural areas, so pressure on arable land for food production is increasing. Tranche-2 subprojects cover two districts, Shimla and Kinnaur. According to the human development indices of the UNDP for the district of Himachal Pradesh, the Human Development Index (HDI) Rank of Shimla is 2 and Kinnaur is 3.

14. Himachal Pradesh has a total population of 685,650,9 including 347,389,2 males and 338,261,7 females as per the provisional results of the Census of India, 2011, recording a growth of 12.81 per cent. This is only 0.57 per cent of India's total population, placing the state at the 21st position. The population density is 123 per square kilometers. Himachal Pradesh has a literacy rate of 83.78 per cent and gender ratio at 974/1000, according to the 2011 Census figures. Himachal Pradesh has one of the highest literacy rates in India next to Kerala. Hamirpur District is among the top districts in the country for literacy. Education rates among women are quite encouraging in the state. The standard of education in the state has reached to a considerably high level as compared to other states in India. Agriculture contributes over 45% to the net state domestic product. It is the main source of income and employment in Himachal. Over 93% of the population in HP depends directly on agriculture which provides direct employment to 71% of its people. The main cereals grown are wheat, maize, rice and barley. Highlights of Census 2011 are presented in Table 5.

B. Socio Economic Profile of Subproject Area

15. A social analysis was made based on sample socio economic surveys of households in the subproject areas. A structured socio-economic questionnaire was administered from February to September 2012 and covered a total of 256 sample households. The following section deals with brief socio economic profiles of the subproject areas and a detailed assessment is given in Annexure 4. According to the surveys, average family size of subproject areas is 6.78. The sex ratio of the project areas is 1000 males: 946 females.. Literacy rate in the subproject areas is 77 %. Among the males, this is about 82 % and among the females the literacy rate is 73 %.

16. Agriculture is the main activity in the subproject area followed by service in government and private sector. According to the findings of the surveyed households, it is noted that all of them possess agricultural land and none of them are landless. The average cultivable land holding is 11.65 Bigha and the average uncultivable land holding is 8 Bigha. The major cropping patterns are wheat, dal, rice and maize. Wheat is cultivated by 70 % of the households. Dal is cultivated by nearly 47 % of the households. About one fourth of the households also cultivate rice and little less than one fifth cultivate maize in the sub project areas. The average annual yield of wheat is 61.22 quintals followed by Dal which is 38.78 quintals per households. Moreover the average yield of maize is 7 quintals and rice is 6.43 quintals.

17. The average annual income from agriculture is INR 219,500. Income from service is reported by 56 households and the average income is INR 292,857. The total average annual income of the household in the subproject areas is INR 282,344. On the other hand, the total annual average expenditure per household is INR. 98,030. Major expenditures are incurred on agriculture followed by expenditure on food, education, clothing, health and transportation. Among the household assets, almost all the households in the subproject area possess both televisions and LPG. Expensive items like cars, air conditioners are present in few households. Migration is minimal in the subproject area. Few households have reported having taken a loan from any source.

18. 14 % of surveyed households stated that a household member experienced major illness during the last one year. The types of illness reported are asthma, joint pains, back pain, diabetes, blood pressure, gastro intestinal disorders, and heart problems. Most importantly, all the sick members attended allopathic treatment.

19. The predominant activity of women is household work where they spend most of their time. Besides household activities, about 34 % of the households reported that women are

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 14 engaged in agriculture. Women are active in participating in the decisions taken by/for the family. It shows that majority of the households give importance to women in decision making related to family matters. About 85 % of the households stated that women do have say in the household matters. Women are actively involved in day to day activities of the households as reported by all the households. Most importantly, the women have greater role on the health care issues of the children.

20. The main source of drinking water is piped water reported by 84 % of the households. Spring and stream are also a source of drinking water for some of the households. 74 % of the households use the traditional latrines and 16 % of households are having flush toilets. One tenth of the households do not have a toilet facility at their respective households. LPG is the major source of fuel being used by the households for cooking, and some of the households also use electricity as the source of fuel for cooking.

21. Most of the houses (37 %) in the subproject areas are of wood. Slightly less than one third of the houses are made of brick and another one fifth are cemented. About 96 % of the houses are permanent in nature. Further, 98 % of the houses are residential in nature. The average age of the structures is 41 years. The average number of rooms per structure is 4.77 and all the rooms are lighted as far as electrification is concerned. The average heated room per structure is 1.

22. All the households are electrified in the subproject area. The main source of electrification is the government and usually supplied from the government grid. The average years of electrification are 25 years. Regularly available of electricity is a problem in the sub project areas. The average hours of availability of electricity are almost 19 hours. The main purpose of electricity use is lighting where almost all the households that possess electricity use it as the prime purpose. The average hours of consumption of electricity for lighting are 7 hours. Similarly 97 % of the households use electricity for running a television and the average consumption is 4.58 hours. A little more than one third of the households also use electricity for heating and cooling and the average hours of consumption is 2.7 hours. The average number of electric lamps per household is 4.6 followed by 2.31 fans and 1 television. The average expenditure on electricity by the 256 households is INR 406 per month which is 1.73% of average monthly income and 4.97% of average monthly expenditure. All the households stated that there is no case of electricity theft and the maintenance lies with the power and electricity department. None of the households stated that they use energy from non-electricity sources. About 87.5 % of the households opined that they are satisfied with the current status on electricity supply to their locality. All the people perceive that the project will help the households and the standard of living will increase with adequate supply of electricity.

C. Impact on Indigenous Peoples (IP)/Scheduled Tribe (ST)

23. Most of the lands used for substation projects are either owned or have already been transferred and therefore under the possession of the EA. Remaining land will be purchased through mutual negotiation. Transmission lines will have limited impacts in terms of loss of one season crop in some cases. Per the EA’s safeguard policies and procedures9, all transmission lines must avoid sensitive or critical habitats. Accordingly, the lines are proposed to be erected in areas where the nature of impacts are expected to be minor in terms of significance, temporary in duration, and limited to the construction phase of development.

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 15

24. Social screening and baseline surveys were conducted in Tranche 2 subproject areas and while STs are populated across all districts under the project Kinnaur district is specifically been declared a Notified Tribal District (ST areas). Two subprojects in component I (T1. 66kV Urni-Wangtoo D/C Transmission Line and S1. 66 kV GIS switching station at Urni) which includes 13.28 kilometers of 66 kv transmission lines and one 66 kV GIS substation under Bhabha Nagar PIU are located in Kinnaur district . However, land for the proposed substation has already been in the possession of HPPTCL and the 66 kV transmission lines will pass mostly through government barren land which will have limited temporary impacts since the Right of Way (RoW) is only 18 meters. Accordingly, land acquisition is not expected to impact any ST household.

25. An Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) and a Resettlement Framework (RF) have been prepared for the MFF. In these, STs are considered and have been treated as vulnerable groups with eligibility for special assistance in addition to compensation. Any unforeseen impact that may occur in the future on IP will be addressed accordingly. Additionally, HPPTCL will avail requisite No Objection Certificate (NoC) from the concerned tribal Panchayats in Kinnaur district. Tranche 2 subprojects have been categorized as “C”10for impacts on IP, per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. Subprojects are not expected to cause physical, economical or cultural impacts on IP groups living in the project area. Project activities are not large in scale or significant in terms of impacts. Socio-cultural practices of IP groups will not be affected.

10 A proposed project is classified as category C if it is not expected to have impacts on Indigenous Peoples. No further action is required.

IV. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION

A. Consultations

26. Public participation and community consultation has been taken up as an integral part of the project social and environmental assessment process. Consultation was used as a tool to inform and educate stakeholders about the project. The participatory process helped in involving the local people in project activities. Initial Public consultation has been carried out in the subproject areas with the objectives of minimising probable adverse impacts of the project through alternate design solutions and to achieve speedy implementation of the project through bringing awareness among the community on the benefits of the project.

27. During the project formulation stage, HPPTCL had conducted a project scoping exercise and reconnaissance survey of the proposed system. Accordingly, during public consultation sessions, considerable dialogue had been held between HPPTCL representatives, individuals, and groups from the community to make them aware of the proposed project. The project- affected community residing beside the proposed transmission line has already gained a reasonable knowledge about the potential grievances, which may arise in the future. The community were also informed about the Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM), which will be followed by HPPTCL as per procedure listed in its Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy May 2011 for making complaints, including the place and the responsible person to contact in this regard. The broad objectives of the consultation are as follows:

• Understand the views of the people affected, with reference to acquisition of land or loss of property and its due compensation. • Identification of subproject sites especially the substations locations. • Understand views of people on resettlement options. • Identify and assess major economic and social characteristics of the project area to enable effective planning and implementation. • Examine APs’ opinions on health safety issues during the construction and selection garbage materials or the waste materials. • To understand gender differences especially the results of impacts and access to energy on men and women. • Identify levels and extent of community participation in project implementation and monitoring. • To establish an understanding for identification of overall developmental goals and benefits of the project. • To develop a thorough coordination between all stakeholders for the successful implementation of the project.

28. Consultations and group discussions were carried out along the project sites by the project safeguard consultants and survey team between February and September 2012. Incorporation of environmental and social concerns of APs through the public consultation will help avoid or minimise conflict situations and enable them to provide meaningful inputs into the project design and implementation process. The discussion was carried out in almost all the villages coming in the vicinity of the alignment of transmission lines and at proposed substation sites in all the PIUs. As part of the social assessment, approximately 246 households have been surveyed where the heads of the households were interviewed to collect the data during the

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 17

month of February to September 2012. Additionally, the social and environment expert from the consultant team carried out various informal consultations during the site assessment with concerned village heads and local people at various villages. As integral part of the safeguards planning, affected persons and local communities were consulted during the preparation of Tranche 2 safeguards documents, i.e., RP and IEE. Stakeholders were informed and consultation and disclosure of information will continue during the implementation of the project. Local communities support the proposed investment components as better electricity supply is expected to improve their life. They also expect that employment opportunities will be created. Summary of people’s perception of the project during the consultation is given in Table 6. Detailed on public consultations including lists villages where the consultations were held and general perception of people for all the Tranche 2 subprojects are given in Annexure 5.

V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

30. Through its Environment and Social Safeguards Policy, HPPTCL has established a Grievance Redressal Mechanism (GRM) having suitable grievance redressal procedure for the project affected persons. The grievance redress mechanism would address affected persons’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the affected persons at no costs and without retribution. The GRM consists of a Grievance Redressal Committee comprised of the following persons as listed in Table 7 below:

Table 7: Constitution of Grievance Redress Committee 1 Project Head Chairman 2 Head of Finance wing at the project level Member 3 Representative of local Panchayat Member 4 Representative of contractor Member 5 Project Environment/RR staff Member Secretary

31. The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) would provide an effective approach for resolution of complaints and issues of the affected community. Project Management Unit (PMU) shall formulate procedures for implementing the GRM. The PIU shall undertake GRM’s initiatives that include procedures of taking/ recording complaints, handling of on-the-spot resolution of minor problems, taking care of complainants and provisions of responses to distressed stakeholders etc. paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups. Environmental and social grievances will be handled in accordance to the project grievance redress mechanism. Open and transparent dialogue will be maintained with project affected persons as and when needed, in compliance with ADB safeguard policy requirements. The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for the project provides an effective approach for complaints and resolution of issues made by the affected community in reliable way. This mechanism will remain active throughout the life cycle of the project. Grievances of APs (minor grievance) will first be brought to the attention at the PIU level. Grievances not redressed by the PIU staff (field level) will be brought to the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at PMU level. The GRC will meet every month (if grievances are brought to the Committee), determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint. APs will have the right to approach appropriate other forum or court of Law for redressal simultaneously if need arises. Grievance redress mechanism is depicted in Figure 2.

VI. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

32. The policy framework and entitlements for the Program are based on the following national laws: - the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LAA, amended in 1984) when private land acquisition is required; - the National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP); and - ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009. The resettlement process also considers the following HPPTL’s policies (i) Environment and Social Safeguard Policy, May 2011 (ESSP) and (ii) Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy, May 2011 (RRRCP) A summary review of applicable acts and policies and comparison of ADB’s SPS 2009, NRRP 2007, and HPPTCL’s ESSP and RRRCP, 2011 is given in Annexure 6

33. Land Acquisition Act-1894: The Land acquisition Act (LAA) 1894, as amended in 1984 provides the legal basis for land acquisition for a public purpose in India. It enables the State Government to acquire private lands for a public purpose, and seeks to ensure that no person is deprived of land except under the Act. Under the Land Acquisition Act 1894, compensation is paid only to the legal titleholders.

34. National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP-2007): The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP-2007) was adopted by the Government of India in 31st October, 2007 to address development-induced resettlement issues. The policy provides for the basic minimum requirements, and all projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and resettlement issues comprehensively. The State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings or agencies, and other requiring bodies shall be at liberty to put in place greater benefit levels than those prescribed in the NRRP-2007. The principles of this policy may also apply to the rehabilitation and resettlement of persons involuntarily displaced permanently due to any other reason.

35. HPPTCL’ s Policy on Safeguards: HPPTCL is committed to the goal of sustainable development of power transmission network in harmony with nature and natural resources and seeks to avoid, minimize, mitigate or compensate adverse environmental and social impacts. HPPTCL approved its safeguards Policies in the month of May, 2011 which are (i) Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP) and (ii) Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy (RRRCP). The Goal of HPPCL’s Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP) is to ensure that development of power transmission system network in environmentally and socially sustainable manner and to bring clarity and transparency about it with public disclosure. HPPTCL shall proactively and voluntarily take all necessary steps to ensure environmental and social sustainability of all its projects. HPPTCL has developed this document of its corporate Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP) to address the environmental and socio-economic issues arising from its activities guided by the basic principles of Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation. The ESSP outlines HPPTCL’s approach and commitment to deal with environmental and social issues relating to its transmission projects. The main aim of ESSP is to move away from the classical cost-benefit approach to the larger realm of Corporate Social Responsibility, while mainstreaming the environmental and social concerns in its operations. The ESSP has the special provision to deal with social safeguards through its special policy, RRRCP. The RRRCP lays down the guiding policy of HPPTCL for preparation of project specific R&R Plans and its implementation for the transmission projects under HPPTCL.

36. ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (SPS): ADB has adopted Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in 2009 including safeguard requirements for environment, involuntary

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 23 resettlement and indigenous people. The objective of the involuntary resettlement policy is to avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

37. The involuntary resettlement safeguards covers physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers them whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary. Followings are the basic policy principle of ADB’s SPS, 2009:

• Identification of past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks and determination of the scope of resettlement planning. • Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned non-government organizations. • Improvement or at least restoration of the livelihoods of all displaced persons, • Ensure physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance. • Improvement of the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. • Development of procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement, • Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non- land assets. • Preparation of a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. • Disclosure of resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner to affected persons and other stakeholders. • Execution of involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. • Payment of compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. • Monitoring and assessment of resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons

38. The project will recognize three types of displaced/affected persons like (i) persons with formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part; (ii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have no formal legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are recognized or recognizable under national laws; and (iii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land. The involuntary resettlement requirements apply to all three types of displaced/affected persons.

VII. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS

39. Compensation for the lost assets to all affected persons will be paid on the basis of replacement cost. Resettlement assistance for lost income and livelihoods will be provided to both title holders and non-title holders. Special resettlement and rehabilitation measures will be made available to the vulnerable groups. APs entitled for compensation or rehabilitation provisions under the Project are (i) all APs losing land either covered by legal title/traditional land rights, or without legal status; (ii) tenants and sharecroppers whether registered or not; (iii) owners of buildings, crops, plants, or other objects attached to the land; and (iv) APs losing business, income, and salaries. Compensation eligibility is limited by a cut-off date to be set for each subproject under proposed Tranche 2. For the legal title holder, the issuance of Section 4 notification of LA Act will serve as the cut-off-date. For non-titleholder11, the day of the census survey will serve as the cut-off-date. APs who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. They, however will be given sufficient advance notice, requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. The entitlement matrix is described in Table 9.

IX. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

41. The resettlement cost estimate for this subproject includes eligible compensation, resettlement assistance and support cost for RP implementation. These are part of the overall project cost. This is a tentative budget which needs to be updated based on detail design and prior to the finalization of disbursement. The unit cost for land and other assets in this budget has been derived through rapid field appraisal, consultation with affected households and relevant government authorities. Contingency provision equivalent to 5% of the total cost has also been made to accommodate any variations from this estimate. The components of the resettlement cost include various features such as, compensation for land; compensation for crops; allowances for vulnerable groups and cost for implementation of RP including a tentative cost for implementing additional schemes applicable only to projects with cost of Rs. 50 crores and more. The total land acquisition and resettlement cost for the Tranche 2 subprojects is estimated to be INR 187.90 million (equivalent to USD 3.61 million). Land acquisition and resettlement costs will be considered as an integral component of project costs. The EA, HPPTCL will make the funds available in its annual budget for the disbursement of compensation and assistance to affected people. Detail cost estimate is given in Table 10.

ANNEXURE 1: SUBPROJECT DESCRIPTION (TRANCHE-2)

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 35

1. Due to the fast emerging energy demand in the country, there is a distinct necessity for strengthening and expanding the transmission networks. Himachal Pradesh is going to be the hub of clean energy generating facilities through hydroelectric potential. As a number of new projects are planned in Pabbar, Sangla, Ravi, Beas, Satluj River basins, HPPTCL is intending to construct an Integrated Transmission System in the area due to limited corridor availability and mountainous terrain constraints. This will take care of network reliability and redundancy in the system to evacuate power in case of an outage of any transmission line because of unforeseen conditions. In most cases, the circuit outage contingency is taken care of although tower outage contingency is not being met.

COMPONENT I. Bhabha Nagar PIU (Kinnaur District) subprojects

2. To evacuate overall power generated in Satluj basin, a 66 kV switching substation is proposed to be constructed at Urni and it will be connected to proposed 400 kV substation of Power Grid nearby through Wangtoo substation funded by ADB in Tranche - 1 which will cater to 421 MW power from various HEPs of Satluj basin.

• Subproject S1 - 66 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) switching station at Urni. • Subproject T1 - 66 kV double circuit (D/C) transmission line from 66 kV GIS Urni switching station to Wangtoo GIS substation.

3. This project is being constructed to evacuate power from small HEPs installed through Himurja in Sangla valley (Satluj basin) which are estimated to be of the order of 45 MW. From this 66 kV substation at Urni, a 66 kV D/C transmission line shall emanate and interface at 66/220/400 kV pooling station at Wangtoo (Sherpa Colony). 66/220/400 KV GIS substation will be created by Line-in Line-out (LILO) of two circuits of the existing 220 KV Kashang- Bhaba transmission line and two circuits of 400 kV Wangtoo- Abdullapur D/C transmission line.

COMPONENT II. Chamba PIU (Chamba District) subprojects

• Subproject S2 - 33/220 kV, 50/63 MVA pooling station (P.S) at Lahal. • Subproject T2 - 220 kV single circuit (S/C) transmission line from 33/220 kV Lahal substation upto 220 kV yard of Budhil HEP.

4. Approximately 65.8 MW to be evacuated in Ravi river basin in Bharmour area and to save the corridor, it is proposed to evacuate this power through a D/C 220 kV transmission line with twin moose conductor. Lahal substation is being constructed to evacuate 136 MW power generated from HEPs to be installed through Himurja in Bharmor, Gharola, and Holi areas of Ravi River basin. This transmission line will connect to Jalandhar via PGCIL 400 kV transmission line from Chamera PS. This will take care of network reliability and redundancy in the system to evacuate power in case of outage of any transmission line because of unforeseen conditions.

• Subproject S3 - 33/132 kV, 1x50/63 MVA GIS substation at Banjal. • Subproject T3 - 132 kV S/C transmission line from 33/132 kV GIS substation Banjal to 33/132 kV Kurthala substation.

5. The power transmission line is being constructed to evacuate 81 MW power from HEPs in Churah valley in Ravi basin as well as additional capacity to be installed through Himurja from the 33/132 kV Banjal substation. This transmission line will further transfer power to 400 kV PGCIL station Jalandhar through LILO of 132 kV Kurthala - Bathri

transmission line at 132/220 kV Mazra substation, 220 kV Mazra - Karian 220 kV substation (HPPTCL), 220 kV Karian- 400/220 kV Chamera PS (PGCIL) and 400 kV Chamera substation - Jalandhar transmission line (PGCIL).

• Subproject S4 - 33/132 kV, 2x25/31.5 MVA substation at Chambi (Shahpur). • Subproject T4- 132 D/C transmission line from Chambi (Shahpur) substation to LILO point of 132 kV Kangra- Dehra S/C transmission line.

6. The power transmission line is being constructed to evacuate 42.4 MW power from Shahpur area of Ravi basin, which will further transfer to 220/400 kV Hamirpur substation (PGCIL) through Dehra – Hamirpur 132 kV D/C transmission line and 132/220 kV Hamirpur substation (HPSEBL). About 35.8 MW of small HEPs (SHEPs) are expected to be commissioned during the year 2014 and an additional 6.6 MW by year 2018 from other SHEPs. Hence this system needs to be in place by the time the HEPs are commissioned.

COMPONENT III: Rohru PIU (Shimla District) subprojects

7. The transmission of power from the Pabbar basin to the northern grid will provide a tremendous boost to the economic development of Himachal Pradesh. Figure 12 gives the location of transmission lines and substations within the district.

• Subproject S5 - 220 kV GIS switching station at Hatkoti • Subproject T5 - 220 kV D/C transmission line from 220/132 kV GIS PS Sunda to 220 kV switching station Hatkoti • Subproject S6 – 66/132/220 kV, 2x100 MVA GIS PS at Sunda

8. The new 220 kV switching substation will evacuate 524 MW power from the Pabbar River basin developers to the national grid through Abdullapur – Jhakri transmission line passing nearby. At 220 kV Hatkoti switching station, the envisaged 456 MW power of Pabbar basin will be pooled in by constructing two 220 kV D/C lines, one 220 kV D/C HPPCL dedicated Sawra Kuddu Hatkoti transmission line with single Zebra and 2nd 220 kV D/C HPPTCL integrated Sunda- Hatkoti transmission line with twin moose conductor to avoid running of parallel transmission line and restricting ROW. The Tangnu Romai (44 MW+6 MW Tangnu Romai SHP) and Dhamwari-Sunda (70 MW), Chirgaon-Majhgaon (60MW), Paudital Lassa (24MW) HEPs are expected to be commissioned during the year 2016 and by the year 2017 an additional 59.3 MW (including 45 MW Rupin) is expected from various SHEPs. The 111-MW Sara-Kuddu HEP shall also be finally interfaced at 220 KV S/S Hatkoti.

ANNEXURE 6: SUMMARY REVIEW OF APPLICABLE ACTS AND POLICIES AND COMPARISON OF ADB’S SPS, NRRP 2007, AND HPPTCL’S ESSP AND RRRCP

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 95

1. In addition to ADB policy on Involuntary Resettlement, applicable existing laws policies of Government of India are reviewed. Following sections deals with the details of applicable policy requirements.

A. LAND ACQUISITION ACT 1894

2. The Land acquisition Act (LAA) 1894, as amended in 1984 provides the legal framework for land acquisition for a public purpose in India. It enables the State Government to acquire private lands for a public purpose, and seeks to ensure that no person is deprived of land except under the Act. The general process for land acquisition under LAA is:

• Land identified for a project is placed under Section 4 of the LAA. This constitutes notification with Government’s intetsion to acquire land. Objections must be made within 30 days to the District Collector (DC, highest administrative officer of the concerned District). • The land is then placed under Section 6 of the LAA. This is a declaration made by the Government for acquisition of land for public purpose. The DC is directed to take steps for the acquisition, and the land is placed under Section 9. Interested parties are then invited to state their interest in the land and the price. Under Section 11, the DC shall make an award within one year of the date of publication of the declarations. Otherwise, the acquisition proceedings shall lapse. • In case of disagreement on the price awarded, within 6 weeks of the award the parties (under Section 18) can request the DC to refer the matter to the Courts to make a final ruling on the amount of compensation. • Once the land has been placed under Section 4, no further sales or transfers are allowed. • Compensation for land and improvements (such as houses, wells, trees, etc.) is paid in cash by the project proponent to the State government, which in turn compensates landowners.

3. The price to be paid for the acquisition of agricultural land is based on the circle rate recorded at the District Registrar's office averaged over the three years preceding notification under Section 4. The compensation is paid after the area is acquired. An additional 30% is added to the award as well as an escalation of 12% per year from the date of notification to the final placement under Section 9. For delayed payments, after placement under Section 9, an additional 9% per annum is paid for the first year and 15% for subsequent years. Under the Land Acquisition Act 1894, compensation is paid only to the legal titleholders and does not provide any compensation package to the non-titleholders like encroachers, squatters etc.

B. NATIONAL REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT POLICY, 2007 (NRRP- 2007)

4. The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP-2007) was adopted by the Government of India in 31st October, 2007 to address development-induced resettlement issues. The policy provides for the basic minimum requirements, and all projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and resettlement issues comprehensively. The State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings or agencies, and other requiring bodies shall be at liberty to put in place greater benefit levels than those prescribed in the NRRP-2007. The principles of this policy may also apply to the rehabilitation and resettlement of persons involuntarily displaced permanently due to any other reason. The objectives of the National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy are as follows:

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 96

• The benefits to be offered to the affected families include; land-for-land, to the extent Government land would be available in the resettlement areas; preference for employment in the project to at least one person from each nuclear family subject to the availability of vacancies and suitability of the affected person; training and capacity building for taking up suitable jobs and for self-employment; scholarships for education of the eligible persons from the affected families; preference to groups of cooperatives of the affected persons in the allotment of contracts and other economic opportunities in or around the project site; wage employment to the willing affected persons in the construction work in the project; housing benefits including houses to the landless affected families in both rural and urban areas; and other benefits. • Financial support to the affected families for construction of cattle sheds, shops, and working sheds; transportation costs, temporary and transitional accommodation, and comprehensive infrastructural facilities and amenities in the resettlement area including education, health care, drinking water, roads, electricity, sanitation, religious activities, cattle grazing, and other community resources, etc. • A special provision has been made for providing life-time monthly pension to the vulnerable persons, such as the disabled, destitute, orphans, widows, unmarried girls, abandoned women, or persons above 50 years of age (who are not provided or cannot immediately be provided with alternative livelihood). • Special provision for the STs and SCs include preference in land-for-land for STs followed by SCs; a Tribal Development Plan which will also include a program for development for alternate fuel which will also include a program for development for alternate fuel and non-timber forest produce resources, consultations with Gram Sabhas and Tribal Advisory Councils, protection of fishing rights, land free-of-cost for community and religious gatherings, continuation of reservation benefits in resettlement areas, etc. • A strong grievance redressal mechanism has been prescribed, which includes standing R&R Committees at the district level, R&R Committees at the project level, and an Ombudsman duly empowered in this regard. The R&R Committees shall have representatives from the affected families including women, voluntary organizations, Panchayats, local elected representatives, etc. Provision ahs also been made for post-implementation social audits of the rehabilitation and resettlement schemes and plans.

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 97

• For effective monitoring of the progress of implementation of R&R plans, provisions have been made for a National Monitoring Committee, a National Monitoring Cell, mandatory information sharing by the States and UTs with the National Monitoring Cell, and Oversight Committees in the Ministries/Departments concerned for each major project, etc. • For ensuring transparency, provision has been made for mandatory dissemination of information on displacement, rehabilitation and resettlement, with names of the affected persons and details of the rehabilitation packages. Such information shall be placed in the public domain on the Internet as well as shared with the concerned Gram Sabhas and Panchayats, etc. by the project authorities. • A National Rehabilitation Commission shall be set up by the Central Government, which will be duly empowered to exercise independent oversight over the rehabilitation and resettlement of the affected families. • Under the new Policy, no project involving displacement of families beyond defined thresholds14 can be undertaken without a detailed Social Impact Assessment, which among other things, shall also take into account the impact that the project will have on public and community properties, assets and infrastructure; and the concerned Government shall have to specify that the ameliorative measures for addressing the said impact, may not be less than what is provided under any scheme or program of the Central or State Government in operation in the area. The SIA report shall be examined by an independent multi-disciplinary expert group, which will also include social science and rehabilitation experts. Following the conditions of the SIA clearance shall be mandatory for all projects displacing people beyond the defined thresholds. • The affected communities shall be duly informed and consulted at each stage, including public hearings in the affected areas for social impact assessment, wide dissemination of the details of the survey to be conducted for R&R plan or scheme, consultations with the Gram Sabhas and public hearings in areas not having Gram Sabhas, consultations with the affected families including women, NGOs, Panchayats, and local elected representatives, among others. • The Policy also provides that land acquired for a public purpose cannot be transferred to any other purpose but a public purpose, and that too, only with prior approval of the Government. If land acquired for a public purpose remains un-utilized for the purpose for five years from the date of taking over the possession, the same shall revert to the Government concerned. When land acquired is transferred for a consideration, eighty per cent of any net unearned income so accruing to the transferor, shall be shared with the persons from whom the lands were acquired, or their heirs, in proportion to the value of the lands acquired. • The entitled persons shall have the option to take up to twenty per cent of their rehabilitation grant and compensation amount in the form of shares, if the Requiring Body is a company authorized to issue shares and debentures; with prior approval of the Government, this proportion can be as high as fifty per cent of the rehabilitation grant and compensation amount.

C. HPPTCL’s SAFEGUARDS POLICY

HPPTCL is committed to the goal of sustainable development of power transmission network in harmony with nature and natural resources and seeks to avoid, minimize, mitigate or

14 A new project or expansion of an existing project, which involves involuntary displacement of four hundred or more families en masse in plain areas, or two hundred or more families en masse in tribal or hilly areas, DDP blocks or areas mentioned in the Schedule V or Schedule VI to the Constitution.

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 98 compensate adverse environmental and social impacts. HPPTCL approved its safeguards Policies in the month of May, 2011 which are (i) Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP) and (ii) Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy (RRRCP). The Goal of HPPCL’s Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP) is to ensure that development of power transmission system network in environmentally and socially sustainable manner and to bring clarity and transparency about it with public disclosure. HPPTCL shall proactively and voluntarily take all necessary steps to ensure environmental and social sustainability of all its projects. HPPTCL has developed this document of its corporate Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP) to address the environmental and socio-economic issues arising from its activities guided by the basic principles of Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation. The ESSP outlines HPPTCL’s approach and commitment to deal with environmental and social issues relating to its transmission projects. The main aim of ESSP is to give a human face to corporate functioning and to move away from the classical cost-benefit approach to the larger realm of Corporate Social Responsibility, while mainstreaming the environmental and social concerns in its operations. The ESSP has the special provision to deal with social safeguards through its special policy, RRRCP. The RRRCP lays down the guiding policy of HPPTCL for preparation of project specific R&R Plans and its implementation for the transmission projects under HPPTCL.

I. Environment and Social Safeguards Policy (ESSP)

1. Social Safeguards Policy Principles of ESSP

Harmonizing its operations with the Environment and Social Policy Statement and its commitment thereto, the HPPTCL shall: • Take due precautions to avoid disturbance to human habitations, tribal areas and places of cultural significance and minimize the same wherever inevitable. • Inform and consult the affected people from planning, inception stage to operation and maintenance stage. • Encourage consultation with communities in identifying environmental and social implications of projects.

• HPPTCL shall prepare and implement a well defined Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy offering set of suitable grants and other assistance to the affected people. • Proper and detailed surveys would be done for identifying the affected families and the type of impact that may be caused. • To locate substations for power transmission projects, HPPTCL shall use flexible approach in that adjustment in project implementation would be made to minimize the adverse socio-economic impacts on the local communities. Such adjustment may include delaying the construction of the substations to accommodate crop harvesting or relocate the substation to protect a sensitive area. If this is unavoidable, then HPPTCL shall provide compensation at market rate of the potential harvest as may be assessed by competent authority of the concerned department. • Agricultural activities that may get disturbed or deferred during construction or maintenance shall be restored to the owners’ satisfaction following completion of construction or maintenance activities or paid compensation in lieu. • In case trees on private lands are felled or damaged during construction or maintenance operations, compensation shall be paid to the owner as determined by the forest/horticulture departments. • HPPTCL shall ensure proper valuation of land and assets of Project Affected Families (PAF) through a transparent process and compensation for all categories of PAFs would be disbursed within the stipulated period. • HPPTCL shall strive to provide employment opportunities for marginalized groups in its construction activities. • HPPTCL shall keep in mind according collateral benefit while planning its activities resulting in upgrading the infrastructure facilities of nearby areas. • Land and assets falling along the transmission line route alignment shall be allowed to be used keeping the safety requirements in view. • Although all efforts will be made to avoid aligning the route over any permanent residential or other structure yet if in the rarest of rare case it is not possible to do so, such structure falling below the line shall be acquired and demolished. Suitable compensation shall be paid and grants shall be released in such cases.

II. Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy (RRRCP)

The ‘Resettlement, Relief, Rehabilitation and Compensation Policy’ document lays down the guiding policy of HPPTCL for preparation of project specific R&R Plans and its implementation.

1. Objectives of RRRCP • To avoid/minimize the adverse impact on persons affected by the project • To sustain the quality of life of the people of the area through suitable infrastructure, sustainable income and better skills and generally contribute to and be a part of the development of the area and the people. • To create a good will for the organization and have a good long term relationship.

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 100

• To ensure that rights of individual and society particularly those belonging to the weaker section/vulnerable groups of the society are safeguarded • To assist the affected persons to regain or improve the standard of living if and where negative impacts are unavoidable • To raise the quality of life and infrastructure in the area • To ensure that people of the area are well informed and involved.

2. The relief rehabilitation strategies of RRRC:

3. Compensation Policy of RRRCP

HPPTCL shall acquire vacant land and select sites in such a manner so that no physical displacement or minimum or physical displacement of project affected families takes place. HPPTCL will also try to look for Waster land or land which is not of economic or social significance so that the impact on communities residing in that area is minimized. While acquiring land , basic principles would be followed which are (i) Land Acquisition will be in accordance with the provision of Land Acquisition Act 1894 or latest Land Acquisition Act applicable. Land can also be acquired through negotiation wherever possible; (ii) If there is any displacement, it would be ensured that rehabilitation is done before families are displaced, (iii) While acquiring land or other immovable property, replacement value shall be kept in view. In case it is felt that the compensation being paid is less than the replacement value, HPPTCL may consider to pay a special grant to cover the difference between amount paid and the replacement value; (iv) Any land which is surplus after setting up of substation & transmission line will be returned to community and (v) The welfare grant or facilities to be provided in addition to above are listed in Grants Section of this document.

FOR SUBSTATION: Land would be acquired under the prevalent land acquisition Act or through negotiation in exceptional cases, land may also be taken on long lease basis.

FOR TRANSMISSION LINES: For selection of optimum route a set of precautionary criterion as laid down in ESSP (Environment and Social Safeguards Policy) shall be taken into consideration to the extent possible. After finalization of line route, the spots where towers for supporting the line are to be erected shall be identified and accordingly the land for tower footing shall be finalized.

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 101

For erections of these towers the land can be acquired as per the Land Acquisition Act 1894 as is the prevailing practice in the State of HP or under Indian Telegraph Act (ITA) 1885 being followed by PGCIL etc. Hence, following two main procedures are available. • Acquisition under LAA: According to the LAA, the land shall either be purchased or acquired from the title holders by HPPTCL and the ownership shall be transferred to HPPTCL. The payment of compensation can be made as onetime payment or lease money which can be paid to the owner every year for 30 years. • Laying of Transmission Lines under ITA: The clause 10 (b) of the Indian Telegraph Act (ITA) 1885 vests the power to place and maintain telegraph lines and posts in any immovable property without any right other than that of user only in the property under, over, along, across in or upon which the telegraph authority places any telegraph line or post. This practice is being followed by PGCIL for construction of transmission lines in the country. In this option the title holders are compensated for the damages caused to their property/crops/orchard etc during the execution of Transmission line project as also during maintenance, if required, and the rights of the ownership of the property remains with the title holder.

D. ADB’S SAFEGUARD POLICY STATEMENT 2009 (SPS)

6. ADB has adopted Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) in 2009 including safeguard requirements for environment, involuntary resettlement and indigenous people. The objectives of the Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard policy is to avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; to minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

7. The involuntary resettlement safeguards covers physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers them whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary. The main policy principles of the Involuntary Resettlement Safeguard are:

• Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. • Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned non-government organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 105

those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. • Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. • Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. • Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing. • Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status. • Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets. • Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. • Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders. • Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation. • Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. • Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan

Draft Resettlement Plan for Tranche 2 Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Project Implementing Agency – HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited 106

have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports.
