SEMI-ANNUAL SOCIAL SAFEGUARD MONITORING REPORT

17 INTRODUCTION AND PROJECTBACKGROUND The Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) has proposed to improve the major highway roads through the Madhya Pradesh District Connectivity Sector Project (MPDCSP) financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB). Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Ltd. (MPRDC), fully owned by the GoMP has been designated as the Executing Agency for the Project. Under the ADB assistance loan No. 3189-IND, the project MPDCSP has identified 07 locations of existing Major District Roads (MDRs) with total length of 774.103 km for widening and reconstruction in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The proposed program for widening and reconstruction of MDRs, from single lane/ intermediate lane/ two lane carriageway to two lane road.

Additionally, the improved project road will enhance the flow of regional and inter- regional traffic and trade, accident reductions due to improved road and also reduce road user costs, thereby strengthening regional economic integration. In addition, the project road will also facilitate easier access by farmers, local communities and traders to social services and markets within the corridor that will help generate more income to augment the Government's effort in achieving social development and poverty reduction in the region.

The MPRDC aimed at improving the major district roads to provide reliable road transport services in the state of Madhya Pradesh and awarded the work of consultancy services for the supervision and quality control of the Civil Works Contracts for MPDCSP (Package3, Bhopal-2), comprising widening and reconstruction of 22 road corridors (MDRs). The 22 identified MDRs are scattered across in the districts of the Bhopal, Hoshangabad, Indore, Ujjain, Gwalior, Guna and Shivpuri. An Index map showing the project roads is provided in Figure 1.
