1 GLOSSARY

Compensation: Payment in cash or in kind for an asset or a resource that is acquired or affected by a project at the time the asset needs to be replaced.

Cut-off date: The completion date of the census of project-displaced persons is usually considered the cut-off date. A cut-off date is normally established by the borrower government procedures that establish the eligibility for receiving compensation and resettlement assistance by the project displaced persons. In the absence of such procedures, the borrower/client will establish a cut-off date for eligibility.

Displaced persons: In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihood) 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.

Entitlement: Resettlement entitlements with respect to a particular eligibility category are the sum total of compensation and other forms of assistance provided to displaced persons in the respective eligibility category.

Host communities: Communities receiving physically displaced persons of a project as resettlers.

Income restoration:Re-establishing productive livelihood of the displaced persons to enable income generation equal to or, if possible, better than that earned by the displaced persons before the resettlement.

Meaningful consultation: A process that (i) begins early in the project preparation stage and is carried out on an ongoing basis throughout the project cycle; (ii) provides timely disclosure of relevant and adequate information that is understandable and readily accessible to affected people; (iii) is undertaken in an atmosphere free of intimidation or coercion; (iv) is gender inclusive and responsive, and tailored to the needs of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups; and (v) enables the incorporation of all relevant views of affected people and other stakeholders into decision making, such as project design, mitigation measures, the sharing of development benefits and opportunities, and implementation issues.

Physical displacement: Relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter 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.

Replacement Cost: Replacement cost involves replacing an asset at a cost prevailing at the time of its acquisition. This includes fair market value, transaction costs, interest accrued, transitional and restoration costs, and any other applicable payments, if any. Depreciation of assets and structures should not be taken into account for replacement cost. Where there are no active market conditions, replacement cost is equivalent to delivered cost of all building materials, labour cost for construction, and any transaction or relocation costs.

Relocation assistance: Support provided to persons who are physically displaced by a project. Relocation assistance may include transportation, food, shelter, and social services that are provided to the displaced persons during their relocation. It may also include cash allowances that compensate displaced persons for the inconvenience associated with resettlement and defray the expenses of a transition to a new locale, such as moving expenses and lost work days.

Uttar Pradesh Major District Roads Improvement Project Project (UPMDRIP)

Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (UPPWD) Executing Agency

Monitoring Period Covered Inception to June 2018

3 Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report

A. Project Introduction and Background 1. Uttar Pradesh is ‘s most populous state with population of about 200 million. The state also has the largest rural population in the country. While the dependence on agriculture is high, the road network is not very well developed: the state has a road network density of about 72 km per 100 sq. km, as against the national average of 107. The Government of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP) has a long-term program to improve the Core Road Network (CRN) and, as part of this program, has received financial assistance from ADB for the Uttar Pradesh Major District Roads Improvement Project (UPMDRIP) – hereinafter referred as ―the Project.‖ The UPMDRIP seeks to upgrade and rehabilitate about eight (8) major district roads (MDR) for a total of 431 km, thereby improving connectivity and fostering inclusive economic growth. The estimated cost of the project is about $428 million, of which $300 million would be financed by ADB as a project loan. The Executing Agency (EA) for the project is Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (UPPWD). 2. The Project aims to improve the connectivity to the neglected area by improving the road infrastructure and providing connectivity, which will contribute towards the expansion of economic opportunities, hence reducing the interstate disparities within India. The project will also result in improved livelihood and trade opportunities for non-urban population. B. Social Safeguard Categorization 3. The Project is categorized as 'A' for involuntary resettlement (IR) as the Safeguards Policy Statement,(SPS)2009. The project will mainly remain confined within the existing right of way (RoW) that is owned by UPPWD. The Right of Way (RoW) ownership of UPPWD for all road corridors has been verified with the local Land Revenue Records Department and the project does not require private land acquisition. Within the RoW, the corridor of impact (CoI) has been adjusted to ensure that resettlement impacts are minimized. However, the project will still trigger resettlement impacts, mainly resulting from the demolition of external sections of structures (residential and commercial), as well as auxiliary structures belonging to non-titled households (NTH). The identification and verification of affected household reveals that there is no any adverse impact on Indigenous people. Thus, IP category continues to be ‗C‘ during the reporting period.

C. Purpose of the Report 4. The main objective of this monitoring report is to supervise the subproject impacts and to determine whether resettlement goals have been achieved and more importantly whether livelihood and living standards have been at least restored and/or enhanced and suggesting the suitable recommendations for improvement. This report covers resettlement and social safeguard monitoring results to comply with the spirit of ADB policy to ‗enhance stakeholders‘ trust ‗in and ability to engage with ADB, and thereby increase the development impact (of projects) in which disclosure of safeguard monitoring is a prominent aspect.

4 D. Details of subprojects 5. The project involves rehabilitation/reconstruction and widening of eight existing roads totalling 431 kilometres in length. The UPPWD has prepared seven Resettlement Plans (RP) and one Due Diligence Report (DDR) during the processing of the loan with the objective to assist the affected people to improve or at least restore their living standards to the pre-impacted level. The seven RPs capture the involuntary resettlement impacts arising out of the proposed improvements to eight roads spread over 12 districts. The list of subprojects road is provided in table 1 and the index map giving the location of the different sub-projects is presented as Figure 1. Table 1: Details of Sub-projects

6 E. Institutional Arrangements 6. The implementation of RP is being carried out through a set of institutions at various levels within the implementation framework. The organizations involved – their roles and responsibilities – in the implementation of the plan are described here. (i) Staffing at the EA level:

7. A Chief Engineer (CE) at UPPWD headquarters is responsible for overall implementation of the project who is assisted by the one Project Director (PD). The officer of the level of Executive Engineer has been designated as Safeguards Project Officer (SPO) at the level of Executive Engineer (EE). The SPO will be supported by an outsourced Resettlement Individual Consultant, whose selection process has been completed and is likely to join in the month of July 2018. The Project Implementation Units (PIUs) has been created in Kanpur, Lucknow and Moradabad Divisions and are responsible for the RP implementation at the subproject road level. Each PIU is headed by a Superintending Engineer and supported by an Assistant Safeguards Focal (ASF), responsible for the management of both the environmental and social safeguards at the subproject road level. 8. The EA is supported by the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) and Non-governmental organisation (NGO) in implementation of resettlement activities.CSC has mobilised its Resettlement on 27th February 2018. Out the 24 man-months available, around two man- months has been consumed till the end of the reporting period (June 2018). The NGO named Manavadhikar Samajik Manch (MASM) has been engaged to assist in the implementation of all RPs under the UPMDRIP since 3rd October 2018 for tenure of 10 months. The NGO is acting as facilitator and be a link between the PIU and the affected community. EA is ensuring that adequate resources are allocated to the NGO. During the inception mission, the ADB has already provided training to the newly appointed staff in the Environment and Social Cell and PIU focal points. F. Land Acquisition &Resettlement Impacts 9. The project does not involve any acquisition of land and is mainly remained confined within the existing right of way (RoW) that is owned by UPPWD. The Right of Way (RoW) ownership of UPPWD for all road corridors has been verified with the local Land Revenue Records Department and the project does not require any private land acquisition. 10. It is estimated that 934 non-titled households (NTHs) will be affected by the project, for a total number of 7103 affected persons. Only 27 private structures will be severely affected, leading to the physical relocation of its owners. The EA through NGO is conducting the identification and verification survey to verify the final impacts. The owners will receive appropriate compensation and relocation assistance as per the agreedentitlement matrix. A total of eight social safeguards documents were prepared during the processing of UPMDRIP, including seven Resettlement Plans and one Due Diligence Report (DDR). The summary of impacts as per the approved resettlement plans are provided in Table 4.

8 G. Sub-project wise status of implementation of resettlement activities 11. The identification and verification survey has been conducted on the basis of the final design for the five subproject roads by the NGO. The survey revealed that 605 NTHs are likely to be impacted, out of which 339NTHs are as per the approved RPs and 266 NTHs are newly identified while 170 NTHs identified in the RP will be avoided. The changes are due to minor adjustment of alignment within the ROW. Out of 291 CRPs identified in the RP, only 102 will be impacted and 39 CPRs are newly identified. The verification survey for remaining roads will be conducted in the second half of 2018. The preparation of the micro plan is under process (I) Hussainganj –Hathgaon-Auriya- Alipur Marg-MDR‐81C 12. The sub-project road (Figure2) is falling under jurisdiction and starts near the town of Hussain Ganj at Km. 0+000 (Fatehpur Dalmau Road connecting to Raibareli) about 15 km away from district headquarters and ends at Km. 48.600 near Afoi, (Kada Road). The total length of the project road is 48.000 Km. However, the effective length under sub-project will be 36.000 Km, since 12.600 Km of road i.e. from Km 0.000 to Km. 12.600 has already been upgraded by UPPWD.The MDR 81C is also well known as ―Mughal Road‖.

J. Public Consultations and Disclosures 35. In order to be closely associated with the community and enhance the public understandings of the project and address the issues pertaining to resettlement, various sections of affected persons (AP) and other stakeholders are being regularly consulted through focus group discussions (FGD), meetings and individual interviews during the implementation of the project. Besides the informal as well formal consultations with the UPPWD Officers are being regularly conducted by the NGO and CSC‘s Social Development Specialist during the implementation of the Project. The opinions of the stakeholders and their perceptions are regularly being obtained, discussed with the concerned authorities and resolved during these consultations. 36. The people were aware about the improvements to the existing road but were not well informed about the final alignment and proposed ROW of the project at the implementation stage. The APs welcomed the idea of road improvement and requested for the suitable compensation for their losses of various kinds. TheAPs assured full support to the project. The UPPWD printed the translated R&R policy in local language (Hindi) and NGO distributed that summary R&R policy to APs for proper disclosure about the compensation. This document (attached as ―Annexure -2‖) includes a

20 summary of the scope of the project, details of eligibility and entitlements and contact details of the EA and PIU. 37.The details of public consultations such as attendance sheet and minuets of meetings are not provided by NGO during the reporting period and they were instructed to provide the details in coming monthly and quarterly reports along with the relevant documents.

K. Grievance Redress Mechanism 38.A project-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has been established to receive, evaluate and facilitate the resolution of displaced people‘s concerns, complaints and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the Project. The GRM‘saim is to provide a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project. The project-specific GRM is not intended to bypass the government‘s own redress process, rather it is intended to address displaced people's concerns and complaints promptly, making it readily accessible to all segments of the displaced people and is scaled to the risks and impacts of the project. The APs are free to access the court system at any time. 39.The UPPWD up to end of this monitoring period has not received any grievance.
