Introduction 1.1 Background The Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project (KSUDP) will finance investment in the sectors of (i) water supply; (ii) sewerage and sanitation; (iii) urban drainage; (iv) solid waste management; (v) roads and transportation; and (vi) poverty alleviation. The overall development goal of the KSUDP is to provide sustainable growth and poverty reduction in Kerala’s Local Self Governments (LSGs). The development purpose is designed to assist LSGs to “promote good urban management, and develop and expand urban infrastructure to increase economic opportunities and to reduce vulnerability to environmental degradation and urban poverty”. The KSUDP Draft Resettlement Framework (hereinafter referred to as the Framework) has been prepared for use by all LSGs falling within the Project’s purview. It outlines the objectives, policy principles and procedures for acquisition of land, if any, compensation and other assistance measures for Affected Persons (APs), if any. This Resettlement Framework is also applicable for LSG’s wishing to access the Kerala Local Government Development Fund (KLGDF)1 for funding sub- projects in the LSG. The LSG will be the Implementing Agency for the Project and will be responsible for preparing social analysis and resettlement plans for all sub-projects, and in accordance with this framework. The LSG would prepare a Resettlement Plan (RP) and submit the same to the Project Management Office (PMO) for review and approval prior to commencement of Project component implementation. This Draft Resettlement Framework draws from (i) Government of Kerala - PWD’s Resettlement Policy for the Kerala State Transport Project, 2000; (ii) a recently issued GoK guideline for Fast Track Projects; (iii) The National Policy on Resettlement and Rehabilitation for Project Affected Persons, issued by the Ministry of Rural Development, 2003; (iv) The Land Acquisition Act 1894 (amended in 1984), which addresses land acquisition and resettlement issues; and (v) the Asian Development Bank’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy. A brief review of the legal framework for the Draft Resettlement Framework is presented in Annex A. 1.2 Framework Principles and Entitlements The Resettlement Framework (RF) is drafted based on ADB’s IR Policy and the principles of the RF include: Resettlement impact on persons affected by the sub-project should be avoided or minimized, exploring all viable alternative sub-project designs; Where the resettlement impacts are unavoidable, the Affected Persons should be assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living; FR Volume 8 - Draft Resettlement Framework PART 1 PAGE 1 TA 4106 –IND: Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project Project Preparation People’s participation should be undertaken in the planning and implementation of the sub- project; and Positive impacts will be enhanced as far as possible. Sub-projects covered under the Resettlement Framework would broadly have three impacts that require mitigation measures; these include (i) loss of assets, including land and houses; (ii) loss of livelihood or income opportunities; and (iii) collective impacts on groups, such as loss of common property resources. The Resettlement Framework broadly covers the following: Impact Zone. Displacement under the sub-project will be limited to the area required for the sub- project and its safety zone. This area is referred to as the Impact Zone (IZ). Within this zone, there cannot be any structures or other hindrances. Every effort should be made during sub- project design and preparation to minimize acquisition of land and other assets and to reduce negative socio-economic impacts. The structures/assets falling outside the Impact Zone would as far as possible be left undisturbed. Compensation and Rehabilitation. All APs will be provided with compensation and rehabilitation, based on the replacement value, if their land is reduced, income source adversely affected, houses partially or fully demolished, and other properties such as crops, trees and other facilities

  • Chapter I Tsunami
    Executive summary In the morning hours of 26 December, 2004, huge seismic sea waves triggered by massive undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean caused the death of many thousands of people, leaving tens of thousands homeless in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Maldives. Fishermen, tourists and people living on the coast were unprepared for the waves that rose upto 6 meters high throughout the Indian Ocean, Andaman Sea and Arabian Sea. The earthquake, had its epicenter 257 km south southwest of Banda Aceh in Sumatra, Indonesia. This was the most powerful earthquake experienced in the region during the last 40 years. 176 persons were killed in Kerala as tsunami waves rising over the Arabian Sea invaded the land, wreaking havoc and destruction in the coastal fishing hamlets in the southern districts of the state. This report presents the impact of tsunami on natural eco systems. The marine environment in the southwest coast between Thottapally and Muttam has been successfully affected as a result of the impact of Tsunami , as reflected by the following findings : The concentration of nutrients has been reduced at all transects just after tsunami. However, values gradually picked up in the period from January to May 2005. Primary productivity had been drastically reduced in the wake of tsunami, especially near Vizhinjam and Kolachel. This also has improved considerably evident from the samples collected in May 2005. There was a lowering of plankton species diversity just after tsunami period, in January 2005. The fish catch has been reduced subsequent to tsunami. This has shown considerable improvement now, as reported by the fishermen from that area.

At the same time Kerala has had the distinction of bring an independent geographical and political entity from very early days. Its unique geographical position and peculiar physical features have invested Kerala with a distinct individuality.The land of Kerala comprises the narrow coastal strip bounded by the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula.Paradoxical as it might seem, this geographical position has helped to ensure, to some extent, its political and cultural isolation from the rest of the country and also facilitated its extensive and active contacts with the countries of the outside world.

  • KERALA in Indiaandyoucanimagine Howharditwillbetoleave Before Youeven Gethere
    © Lonely Planet Publications 960 KERALA KERALA Kerala Kerala is where India slips down into second gear, stops to smell the roses and always talks to strangers. A strip of land between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, its perfect climate flirts unabashedly with the fertile soil, and everything glows. An easy-going and successful so- cialist state, Kerala has a liberal hospitality that stands out as its most laudable achievement. The backwaters that meander through Kerala are the emerald jewel in South India’s crown. Here, spindly networks of rivers, canals and lagoons nourish a seemingly infinite number of rice paddies and coconut groves, while sleek houseboats cruise the water highways from one bucolic village to another. Along the coast, slices of perfect, sandy beach beckon the sun-worshipping crowd, and far inland the mountainous Ghats are covered in vast planta- tions of spices and tea. Exotic wildlife also thrives in the hills, for those who need more than just the smell of cardamom growing to get their juices flowing. This flourishing land isn’t good at keeping its secret: adventurers and traders have been in on it for years. The serene Fort Cochin pays homage to its colonial past, each building whispering a tale of Chinese visitors, Portuguese traders, Jewish settlers, Syrian Christians and Muslim mer- chants. Yet even with its colonial distractions, Kerala manages to cling to its vibrant traditions: Kathakali – a blend of religious play and dance; kalarippayat – a gravity-defying martial art; and theyyam – a trance-induced ritual. Mixed with some of the most tastebud-tingling cuisine in India and you can imagine how hard it will be to leave before you even get here.

The Portuguese built a church for the believers of the surrounding area and dedicated it to Our Lady. Christians in the area gathered together for worship at this church. During the Mysorean invasion of Kerala in the 18th century, Tipu Sultan (the ruler of Mysore was camped near River Chalakkudy in order to attack parts of Travancore. He destroyed most of the Christian and Hindu places of worship. The local people gathered together in the Church and prayed to Our Lady for their help. At that time, there was a mist (snow) spread around the church and Tipu and his military could not see the church and the surrounding areas. They thought it was part of the Arabian Sea. And there was also a huge flood in River Periyar and Tipu lost a large part of his military and hence was forced to return to Mysore.

PARUR. 19ti5 PREFACE The District Census Handbooks were started for the first time in the history of the decennial censuses In India in 1951. The Handbooks of the Travancore-Cochin and Madras States in the 1951 Census contained, besides a short account of the district and the people, important Census tables for the district and a village directory consisting of the area, houses, population, number of literatEs, the distribution of population by livelihood classes, the number of institutions and general information on amenities etc. 11'1 respect of every vIllage. In the 1961 Census it was decided with the concurrence of the State Government to continue the publIcation of the DistrIct Census Handbooks. The Contents of the District Census Handbooks of the 1961 Census are, however, a little more ambitious than those of the 1951 Census Handbooks in that besIdes the items of infor­ mation mentioned above a large number of tables giving general informa­ tion about the dIstricts have been added. The number of such tables comes to 41 besides 43 mset tables excluding those gIven in respect of Census data. As far as possible, an attempt has been made through these tables to give an epitome of the progress made by the district In various fIelds during the inter-censal period 1951-61.

  • Indian Archaeology 1975-76 a Review
    INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1975-76 —A REVIEW EDITED BY B. K. THAPAR Director General Archaeological Survey of India ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1979 Cover; The shrine of Khwaja Abu Nasar Parsa, Balkh, Afghanistan 1979 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Price : Rs. 60-00 PRINTED AT NABA MUDRAN PRIVATE LTD., CALCUTTA, 700004 PREFACE The present issue of the Review, in its content, follows the pattern of its predecessors, viz. incorporating material submitted by the various agencies engaged in archaeological work in the country, to whom I am beholden for their cooperation. This is the third issue to be brought out during the year 1979, and if everything goes well, the issue for 1976-77, which is already in the press, may come out within a couple of months. I heartily thank my colleagues in the Survey who have helped me in editing and seeing the volume through the press, as also Messers Naba Mudran Private Ltd., Calcutta, for bringing out these issues within such a short period. Readers would recall that as a result of the recommendations of a Committee, set up by one of the Sections of the Conference on Asian Archaeology, held in New Delhi in December 1961, to consider the problem of terminology in Indian prehistory, especially relating to the various hunting and food gathering stages, the terms Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages were accepted to be used in the subsequent issues of the Review (commencing from 1961-62). Since then considerable field-work in prehistoric and Quaternary studies has been done in India, and the position has appreciably changed: a blade-and-burin industry, recalling the Upper Palaeolithic of Europe has been identified in various regions of India, in stratigraphical horizons underlying the deposits belonging to the so-called Late Stone Age; and some similarities between the post Acheulian flake industries of the so-called Indian Middle Stone Age and those of the Middle Palaeolithic of Europe have been recognized.
