EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project – Haryana Power System Improvement Project, funded by the World Bank and being implemented by Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL), aims to improve the accountability, efficiency and quality of electricity services in Haryana through investments in power supply infrastructure, training/capacity building and technology-transfer, and overall institutional strengthening.

Scope of the Resettlement Plan This plan looks into the land acquisition issues and other impacts through social analysis. Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan has been prepared for G-7 Package consisting of five 132 kV sub-stations in different districts1 of Haryana. The Report is prepared for the Project in compliance with the Environment and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) of the HVPNL.

Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Of these five sub-packages, the sub-stations at Sataundi (Gharaunda) and Kabri (Panipat) are upgradations, while the rest are new sub-stations.

Sataundi Sub-station (Gharaunda) is located in Sataundi village in Karnal district where already a 33 kV sub-station exists in five acres of land. For the upgradation of this substation, HVPNL has acquired four more acres of land adjacent to the existing sub-station. Hence, HVPNL was not required to explore any alternatives. Additional land identified is fertile agricultural land available. During the social impact assessment, it was confirmed that as a loss of this cultivable there shall be no displacement of any person. However, impact would be in the form of loss of income from this piece of land both to the village in terms of revenue that accrues to the pancahayat annually from auction of this plot of land and also to the villager who has taken it on leaseholder. However, the positive impact is the improvement in the power supply – a prospect that all villagers look forward to. Panchayat of the village passed a resolution in August 2006 agreeing to give the required land at no cost. More importantly in the context of project implementation, there are no strings attached to the transfer of this land to HVPNL.

For the 132 kV sub-station at Kairu in the district of Bhiwani, the site identified is barren land that is available with the village Panchayat. Sub-station on this piece of land which is in proximity to a Deer Sanctuary/Breeding park shall be constructed at a safe distance from the park. Its location near the Kairu chowk – where roads from Jui to Tosham and Behal to Bhiwani intersect offers it significant advantage from maintenance point of view. The siting of the sub-station meets the criteria of avoidance of impacts on habitation. Panchayat vide a resolution has agreed to give the required 8.75 acres of land. There are no pre-conditions laid by the village panchayat. It only expects better power supply to the village and hopes to achieve a major spurt in development as a result of this important infrastructural intervention. During the social impact assessment, it was confirmed that as a loss of this barren, uncultivable land, there shall be no displacement of any person, any adverse impacts on vulnerable group of persons, or any loss of livelihood or common property resource at this site.

The proposed upgradation of Sub-station at Kabri – a village in Panipat district is key to meet the power needs of the area that has mixed land use, comprising agriculture and leather/garment factories. The existing 33 kV sub-station site is surrounded on 3 sides by factories and has open area/agricultural area on the one side. The total area of this plot of land is 3.78 acres within which a 33 kV transformer and 8 staff quarters exist. The upgradation shall take place totally within this

1 132 kV Sataundi (Gharaunda) (upgradation from 33 kV level) with 2 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers; 132 kV Kairu (Bhiwani) with 1 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers; 132 kV Kabri (Panipat) with 1 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 transformers; 132 kV Nangal Mohanpur (Mahendragarh) with 2 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV sub- stations; 132 kV Pali (Gurgaon) with 2 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers

Page 6

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project existing area and will have no adverse impacts. Hence, alternative was not explored. However, the land belongs to Haryana State Electricity Board (HSEB).

For the proposed 132 kV sub-station at Nangal Mohanpur in the district of Mahendragarh, 9.36 acres of panchayat land has been identified. Two other options had been explored – upgradation of existing sub-station at Bhojawas or creation of a new sub-station at another site. Upgradation of the existing substation was not feasible owing to other features in the area such as medical facility and residential area. The site is adjacent to a road that leads from Ateli to Kanina and thereby offers it significant advantage from maintenance purposes. The siting of the sub-station meets the criteria of avoidance of impacts on habitation. Panchayat vide a resolution has agreed to give the required 9.36 acres of land at the Circle rate as applicable. There are no conditions laid by the panchayat. Social impact assessment carried out confirmed that as a loss of this barren, uncultivable land, there shall be no displacement of any person, any adverse impacts on vulnerable group of persons, or any loss of livelihood or common property resource at this site. However there are a large number of Kikar trees that need to be cut and to which the village panchayat has indicated its consent and for which the compensatory afforestation has to be carried out as per government norms.

For the proposed 132 kV sub-station at Pali village in Mahendragarh district, 5.52 acres of panchayat land has been identified. The site has a major advantage in the form of a road that lies between Dadri and Mahendragarh. Its proximity to such a major road gives it a distinct advantage from approach and maintenance points of view. The siting of the sub-station meets the criteria of avoidance of impacts on habitation. The other alternative considered had undulating terrain and was not suitable from the engineering points of view. During the social impact assessment, it was confirmed that as a loss of this cultivable there shall be no displacement of any person. However, impact would be in the form of loss of income from this piece of land. Panchayat vide a resolution has agreed to give the required 5.52 acres of land at Circle rates as applicable. There are no conditions laid by the Panchayat and expects better supply to the village.

During the Social impact assessment, it was confirmed that the due to loss of land, there shall be no displacement of any person. However, 2 persons may experience loss of income if the sub- station construction work starts immediately, owing to the fact that they have got the panchayat land on annual lease. The two PAPs affected were surveyed and both belong to vulnerable group.

Community Consultations The consultations were used as an important tool to gauge people’s perception and record their views with reference to the important infrastructure development in their area. Also they were used as an opportunity to inform all the concerned stakeholders – Officials, panchayat members, village community and also women groups of the newly formulated ESPP and its relevant provisions. Consultation with Panchayat and community in the villages of Nangal Mohanpur and Pali brought forth that the land is being given to HVPNL and they will be compensated as per the policy. However, the resolution does not mention the compensation and assistance amount. However, in case of Sataundi (upgradation) and Kairu land is being given by the Panchayats at no cost. In case of Kabri substation that involves only upgradation from the existing 33 kV to 132 kV no such issue arises. It involves only transfer of land from Utter Haryana Bijli Vitaran Nigam Limited (UHBVNL) that is already in possession of the land. The outcomes of these consultations indicated that while these sub-stations brought about perceptions that were commensurate with the development of the area and availability of power supply. Nangal Mohanpur, Pali and Sataundi villages in Mahendragarh and Karnal get power supply of about 5-6 hours. The Panchayat and village community were positive about the impacts of these sub-stations. They opined that more reliable power supply would prove immensely beneficial to children for their education, for water supply for domestic and agricultural use. Overall expectations of development as a result of the

Page 7

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project sub-stations were said to be high. Women groups were particularly positive about the impacts and mentioned that overall it would benefit them in their household work.

Resettlement Principles and Policy Framework This project is based on the resettlement principles of avoidance, minimization and alleviation. Among other principles, special attention has been paid for the improvement in living standards of marginalized and vulnerable groups and ensures delivery of R&R entitlements and compensation for lost assets based on HVPNL’s entitlement framework.

This project has taken into account the HVPNL’s Environment and Social Policy and Procedures, which cover the mandatory social requirements for HVPNL transmission works including Land Acquisition Act 1894, Haryana Government Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy for land acquisition, WB OP 4.12 involuntary resettlement and WB OP 4.10 Indigenous People. The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy 2007 also has been consulted while framing the ESPP. For arriving at the compensation and assistance for panchayat land, the Consultants have also taken into cognizance the government notification dated 3/3/2008 that specifies the norms for leasing of village land. Public is informed about the project at every stage of execution by press notes and media release. During socio-economic survey taken up in parallel with land acquisition process, HVPNL’s site officials met people and inform them about the Land acquisition details, proposed R&R measures and compensation packages.

Entitlement Framework HVPNL’s framework is to ensure realistic rehabilitation and compensation of the acquired assets of the affected assets covering categories such as loss of land (homestead land, agriculture land, tenants, lease-holders, encroachers/ squatters etc), loss of structure ( with valid title, tenants, lease holders, squatters, cattle sheds, workshop sheds etc.), loss of livelihood, loss of standing crops/ trees, loss of access to common property resources (CPR) and facilities, losses to host communities, Panchayat land and additional benefits for vulnerable persons. The entitlements for this project comply with the ESPP framework. In this project only transfer of Panchayat land has been covered as per the entitlement framework.

Institutional Framework and Grievance Redressal A three-tier set up is proposed in the ESPP of HVPNL viz., Divisional, Zonal and at Headquarters, comprising of Officials at respective levels. At the Head Quarter Level it is Environment, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Committee (ERRC), at Zonal level it is Environment and Social Monitoring Committee (ESMC), and at the Division level it is Environment and Social Implementation unit (ESIU). Grievances, if any, will be first addressed by the ESMC.

Compensation and Budget Estimates Budget estimates have been worked out for two scenarios. In scenario I – where land is taken as per panchayat resolution the consolidated budget for the RRAP under Package G-7 is Rs. 1,11,23,450/- (Rupees One Crore Eleven Lakhs Twenty Three Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty. In scenario II, where land is taken on lease as per Haryana government policy, the consolidated budget for RRAP under Package G-7 is Rs. 8,13,38,577/- (Rupees Eight Crores Thirteen Lakhs Thirty Eighty Eight Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Seven) Only.

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY

1.1 Background The power demand in Haryana on an average has been of the order of 7 to 8% in the past. Now it is in the range of 14% for the state as a whole and between 20-25% in certain pockets like in Gurgaon district. In response to this increasing demand, HVPNL has prepared a comprehensive transmission program that proposes power load growth and evacuation of the proposed capacity addition of power at an estimated cost of Rs. 7643 crore during the 11th Five year plan. Under this program HVPNL will undertake construction of new sub-stations, installations of additional transformers and laying of new transmission lines interlinking of lines of existing substations.

The state of Haryana in the northern part of India is located strategically close to the National Capital of India New Delhi, and one third of its area falls within the National Capital Region (NCR). It is bordered by Himachal Pradesh and Punjab to the north and by Rajasthan to south and west. Its borders to Uttar Pradesh in the East are defined by the River Yamuna. The capital of the state is Chandigarh which is administered as a Union Territory and is also the capital of Punjab.

1.2 The Project - HPSIP The proposed project – Haryana Power System Improvement Project (HPSIP), funded by the World Bank, aims to improve the accountability, efficiency and quality of electricity services in Haryana through investments in power supply infrastructure, training/capacity building and technology-transfer, and overall institutional strengthening. Major objectives include improving service delivery; enhancing operational efficiency and institutional capacities. The improvement of service delivery of the transmission company i.e. HVPNL is aimed at by ensuring efficient transmission of additional power to be available within the state over the next 4 years; providing greater grid stability and system security; and by facilitating the transmission to an open access regime within the state. Another important objective, which the project has envisaged includes enhanced operational efficiency and customer service levels in selected geographical areas of Haryana through investments. This project’s third important target is to enhance institutional capacities of three utilities in the transmission lines and distribution sub-sectors through introduction of modern management practices.

In this context, the World Bank is supporting the strengthening of transmission system for enhancing reliability and system security as well as to reduce transmission losses, by constructing new sub-stations and transmission lines. The project is being executed by the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL). HVPNL has divided the current phase of work into 13 packages consisting of substations and transmission lines.

1.3 Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited In 1998, the Haryana State Electricity Board (HSEB) was re-organized into State owned corporation namely Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) for Transmission and Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (HPGCL). HPGCL was made responsible for operation and maintenance of State’s own power generating stations. HVPNL was entrusted the power transmission and distribution functions. Simultaneously, an independent regulatory body i.e. Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC), was constituted to aid and advise the State Government on the development of the power sector, to regulate the

Page 9

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project power utilities and take appropriate measures to balance the interest of various stakeholders in the power sector, namely electricity consumers, power entities and generation companies etc.

HVPNL was further reorganized on July 1, 1999 by carving out two more Corporations, namely Utter Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd. (UHBVNL) and Dakshin Haryana Vitran Nigam Ltd. (DHBVNL) with the responsibility of distribution and retail supply of power within their jurisdiction. While UHBVNL is responsible for Panchkula, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Karnal, Panipat, Sonepat, Rohtak, Jhajjar and Jind districts, DHBVN caters to Hisar, Fatehabad, Bhiwani, Sirsa, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Mewat, Rewari and Narnaul districts.

1.4 Sub-Project Package G-7 (132 kV Sub-Stations) The present report has been prepared for Package G-7 consisting of five 132 kV sub-stations that are being proposed. These are: 1. 132 kV Sataundi (Gharaunda) (upgradation from 33 kV level) with 2 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers 2. 132 kV Kairu (Bhiwani) with 1 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers 3. 132 kV Kabri (Panipat) with 1 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 transformers 4. 132 kV Nangal Mohanpur (Mahendragarh) with 2 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV sub- stations 5. 132 kV Pali (Gurgaon) with 2 x 20/25 MVA, 132/33 kV transformers

The present report contains the findings of the social assessment for the required land for the proposed sub-stations. The report is prepared in conformity with the provisions of the Environment and Social Policy and Procedures of HVPNL.

1.5 Measures Taken to Minimize Impacts In line with the principles of HVPNL R&R policy of avoidance, minimization and alleviation, efforts were made to minimize the adverse impacts of the project, while selecting the site. Weightage is given to various parameters for finalizing alternative sites, which include:  availability of infrastructure facilities such as access roads, railheads, etc;  types of land viz. government, revenue, private, agriculture;  impact on families; and  cost of compensation and rehabilitation.

1.6 Objectives and Scope of the Study The main objective of the study was to:  to identify the impacts of land acquisition and other adverse impacts for various civil works on the people who own properties to be acquired or used for the project; and  present an action plan for delivery of compensation and assistances outlined in the policy to the persons identified as entitled to such assistance. Scope of the study The scope of the present study relates to a comprehensive survey for this sub-stations which included: a) identifying potentially affected populations with special attention to vulnerable group such as indigenous/tribal populations, scheduled caste, landless households and women headed/physically handicapped households. b) gathering information on various categories of losses and other adverse impact likely under the project. These include:

Page 10

 loss of land and other productive assets such as trees;  loss of structures, temporary or fixed;  loss of access to public services (roads, drinking water, schools, medical, etc);  loss of access to common property resources; and  disruption of social, cultural, religious or economic ties and networks.

1.7 Approach and Methodology Approach and methodology mainly consist of qualitative and quantitative tools and techniques. The study was conducted in three phases.

Phase I Pre-survey Activities This phase included collection of secondary data, collection of site details from HVPNL, preparation of questionnaires and checklist for conducting Focus Group Discussions. Documents from HVPNL included site map, requirements for substations and other relevant maps. The Consultants also collected information from secondary sources viz. Census of India and District Census Handbook and revenue records. The phase was important to identify and scope the activities. The entire exercise was carried out through an appropriate mix of social research techniques including desk research through review of information available with HVPNL. Checklist for structured and semi-structured interviews, group discussions with the affected people and relevant government agencies and community were planned. A questionnaire was designed to facilitate collection of relevant socio-economic and land holding information. The Questionnaires and Checklist for FGDs used in this study are presented in the Annexure I1 & I2.

Phase II Survey Activities This phase consisted of site visits, verification of documents, conducting consultations with stakeholders. Site visits carried out to assess its location and proximity to habitations, and record the land use around the substations. The verification process involved validation of information as on ground. In the case of the said substations, as there is no loss of land to any individual, the socio-economic survey using the questionnaire was not carried out. However, consultations were held with the concerned village panchayat representatives and village communities to document their views. The consultations included FGD with various groups, knowledgeable persons, village heads and women. It sought to elicit their expectations and suggestions.

Phase III Post Survey Activities – Analysis and Reports The information collected through consultations, FGDs, secondary sources and documents was cross-validated, processed and analyzed. Wherever required, the observations are supported from the information collected through desk research.

CHAPTER 3 – LAND ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

3.1 Introduction For constructing sub-stations, HVPNL has identified sites. While selecting sites various parameters were considered during selection process, a comprehensive analysis for each alternative site is carried out. Weightage is given to various parameters for finalizing alternative sites which are often site specific. Due consideration is given to availability of infrastructure facilities such as access roads, railheads etc. type of land viz. government, revenue, private, agriculture. In addition, social impacts such as number of families affected as well as cost of compensation and rehabilitation are considered as well.

This chapter deals with the land required for the substation and acquisition of land, details of the land transfer based on discussions with officials, review of panchayat resolutions and documents provided. It also provides a comparison of sites identified based on the selection criteria as stated above.

3.2 132 kV Sub-Station at the Village Sataundi, Karnal district The proposed 132 kV Sub-station at the village Sataundi, in Karnal district is an important infrastructure development to meet the power requirements of Karnal area as a whole. The land use is here is mainly agricultural. The village has a total of 5300 acres, of which panchayat land is nearly 250-300 acres with the average land holding size being around 5 acres.

3.2.1 Land requirement and Analysis of Alternatives HVPNL required 4 additional acres for upgradation of the existing 33 kV sub-station to 132 kV substation. For this purpose, HVPNL approached the village to provide the required land in the vicinity of the sub-station (see Annexure A2 for General Electrical Layout of the proposed substation). Hence no alternative was considered. Table 3.1 indicates the considerations followed.

Table 3.1 – Criteria for selection of Sataundi site Selection criteria Followed in Remarks Finalized option Availability of infrastructure facilities Y Already present such as access roads, railheads, etc. Type of land viz government, revenue, Y Agriculture as all the area in the private, agriculture vicinity of the sub-station is agricultural Number of impacted families Y Impacts those lease holder/tenants Cost of compensation and rehabilitation Y Applicable Other criteria (Water logging, etc) Y Not applicable Y –Yes, N- No

3.2.2 Status of land and Transaction Details Upon receipt of request from HVPNL for this piece of land, the village Panchayat initiated the process and passed a resolution in August 2006, that mentioned its willingness to give 4 acres of land for the upgradation to a 132 kV Sub-station (See Annexure A3 for copy of resolution passed by the Panchayat). It is expected that upon completing of processing of land transfer documents, the final document would indicate the agreed terms and conditions and would therefore be key in the smooth implementation of the project.

3.3 132 kV Sub-Station at Kairu village, Bhiwani district The proposed 132 kV Sub-station at the village Kairu-I3 is a key infrastructural development that shall complement other features in the village and the surrounding area. These include a NTPC plant that is coming in an area of 50 acres in the village. Besides, the area also has a deer sanctuary/breeding park, Herbal park and other government offices and is expected to cover a large area of the interiors of Tosham sub-district.

3.3.1 Land Requirement and Analysis of Alternatives The village has donated 8.75 acres of land for the proposed sub-station, after which it shall be left with 141 acres of such barren panchayat land. HVPNL in its attempt to locate ideal spot for siting of the sub-station had identified this site. The finalized land for the proposed substation is barren and uncultivable and also enjoys access to approach etc. From a maintenance view point too, the site offers good connectivity. Water availability is too not an issue as there a water works on which work has commenced. Therefore, going by the selection criteria, this is an ideal site. The proposed site finalized is consistent with the principle enshrined in HVPNL’s Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) that lays emphasis on avoidance, mitigation and alleviation. No other alternative was explored since the final site met all criteria and the village panchayat agreed to give land for the same. A brief description of the site (See Annexure B2 for site layout) along with the remarks on the site selection criteria is given below in Table 3.2.

3.3.2 Status of land and Transaction Details Panchayat has passed a resolution indicating its willingness to give 8.75 acres of required land to HVPNL for constructing the sub-station. The resolution which was passed in August 2008 (See Annexure B3 for copy of resolution passed by the Panchayat) states that the village is willing to provide land to HVPNL for the purposes of a construction of a 132 kV sub-station. No conditions or any kind of expectation have been indicated in the resolution.

3.4 132 kV Sub-Station at Kabri The proposed upgradation of the existing 33 kV substation to 132 kV Sub-station at the village Kabri is required to meet the growing power needs of the area. Demand currently exists in this area both from the agricultural sector as well as the industrial sector. The

3 Kairu was a single village till the year 1972 when it was divided into Kairu I and II for administrative reasons.

Page 17

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project upgradation shall take place within the existing area of the sub-station that measures a total of 3.78 acres.

3.4.1 Land Use and Analysis of Alternatives The current sub-station is located near garment or leather works factories. The site has proximity to Panipat – Kabri road. The land use as described above is a mix of agriculture and industry. Also the staffs living within the quarters cultivate vegetables and other crops on a small plot of land. The land within the existing sub-station has staff quarters. The land available with the sub-station is sufficient to facilitate the upgradation and shall require no more land.

3.4.2 Analysis of Alternatives HVPNL did not explore any alternatives as this sub-project involves upgradation of the existing sub-station within the already available land with the sub-station. A brief description of the site along with the remarks on the site selection criteria is given below in Table 3.3.

Table 3.3 – Criteria for selection of Kabri site Selection criteria Followed in Remarks finalized option

Availability of infrastructure facilities Y Located near Kabri-Panipat road that is such as access roads, railheads, etc. overall adjacent to the Grand Trunk road. Type of land viz government, revenue, Y Already existing land of sub-station private, agriculture Number of impacted families Y None Cost of compensation and rehabilitation Y Not applicable Other criteria (water works etc) Y Not applicable Y –Yes, N- No

Its’ siting is consistent with the principle enshrined in HVPNL’s Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) that lays emphasis on avoidance, mitigation and alleviation. (See Annexure C2 for project layout).

3.4.3 Status of land and Transaction Details As per the land record, the land belongs to Haryana State Electricity Board (HSEB). In 1998, upon unbundling of HSEB into separate companies for generation, transmission and distribution, and as HVPNL is responsible for sub-stations for 66 kV transformers capacity and beyond, the land automatically vests with HVPNL and does not require any further transfer. See Annexure C3 for copy of the land ownership record.

3.5 132 kV Sub-Station at Nangal Mohanpur, Mahendragarh district The proposed 132 kV Sub-station at the village Nangal Mohanpur is expected to help meet the power needs of the area. The substation will also be the termination point of a 132 kV S/C transmission line that commences at the Dhanonda sub-station.

3.5.1 Land Requirement and Analysis of Alternatives The village panchayat has donated 9.36 acres of their land for the sub-station.

Alternative 1: Panchayat land at Nangal Mohanpur: The only land available with Panchayat has dense plantation of Kikar. Consultations with Sarpanch of the Panchayat indicated that this low quality of Kikar was only used for firewood by the local people. Site visit confirmed

Page 18

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project in the total area that is approximately 70 acres, there are more than 6000-7000 kikar trees and a result there shall be no shortage of trees for firewood requirements. These trees were planted by Forest department 10 years ago (see Annexure D4 for letter from forest department) to increase green area cover and are now planned to be cut by the Forest department. Keeping in view requirement for power in the village, the Panchayat agreed to transfer 9.36 acres of the total land in this site to HPVNL for proposed 132 kV substation.

Alternative 2: Existing 33 kV Substation, Bhojawas to be upgraded to 132kV Substation- The vacant land available in this substation was insufficient for the proposed substation. The residential / commercial structures and a hospital exists outside the premises of the existing substation; thus not making it suitable enough for the proposed sub-project.

Alternative 3: Panchayat land Mohammadpur / Mohanpur- The land available with the Panchayat was insufficient enough for the proposed sub-project.

Alternative 1 was finalized and its’ siting is consistent with the principle enshrined in HVPNL’s Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) that lays emphasis on avoidance, mitigation and alleviation. A brief description of the sites along with the remarks on the site selection criteria is given below in Table 3.4.

3.5.2 Status of land and Transaction Details The village Panchayat passed a resolution on 16th April 2008 had clearly menntioned that they were willing to give this piece of land at Circle rates (See Annexure D2 for copy of the panchayat resolution).

Subsequently in November 2008, another resolution was passed by the panchayat indicating its acceptance of the cutting of trees that existed on the proposed site. Following which, HVPNL had written a letter to Deputy Commissioner at Narnaul requesting for permission to cut the trees at the site as per the resolution passed by the Panchayat. There are a total of 1221 trees of which 1212 are Kikar trees and 9 trees of other varieties (See Annexure D4 for letter requesting cutting of trees).

Panchayat passed another resolution on January 10, 2009 indicating that market rates be obtained for the land that is being proposed for the substation. It stated that for this purpose the Panchayat shall write to the district authorities. Following this, on January 22, 2009, the Block Development and Panchayat Officer (BDPO) sent a letter to District authorities requesting for the Market rates.

However, from the implementation viewpoint, it is to be noted that the village panchayat has not put any pre-condition for the land transfer. During the consultation, it was very verified that the village was in agreement with the proposed sub-station.

3.6 132 kV Sub-Station at Pali village, Mahendragarh district The new 132 kV sub-station at Pali village in the district of Mahendragarh is to be sited on 5.52 acres of panchayat land. It is expected to meet the power requirements of the village and surrounding area.

3.6.1 Land requirement and Analysis of Alternatives Of the total 2000 acres of panchayat land that belongs to the village, the panchayat has agreed to give required 5.52 acres of their land for the sub-station. It is totally agricultural land on which crops such as mustard, wheat, Bajra and Gram are grown. The site which is cultivable land has a major advantage in the form of a road that lies between Dadri and Mahendragarh. Its proximity to such a major road and water works on the opposite side gives it a distinct advantage from approach and maintenance points of view.

HVPNL explored two options for this sub-station. However fertile agricultural land has been identified as the more suitable option. Following alternatives were suggested by Panchayat, Pali village for the proposed subproject.

Option 1- Panchayat land, Pali (adjacent to Water Works Department): Though this site was barren land and also close to the existing Water Works Department, it was uneven with many pits and dugs, thereby making it making it unsuitable for establishing a substation.

Option 2- Panchayat land, Pali (Opposite Water Works Department): This piece of land is fertile agricultural land. Panchayat of the village gives this plot of land on annual lease for cultivation to some person from the village.

Its’ siting is consistent with the principle defined in HVPNL’s Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) that lays emphasis on avoidance, mitigation and alleviation.

3.6.2 Status of Land and Transaction Details Panchayat vide a resolution passed on 24th January 2009, has agreed to give the required 5.52 acres of land at Circle rate and not on lease under any circumstance. They observed that it shall help solve the power supply problem faced by the village (See Annexure E2). From the implementation point of view, village has laid no pre-conditions for transfer of this land.

3.7 Summary Overall, this package entails land acquisition from Panchayats to HVPNL for 4 substations. In the case of upgradation of Kabri substation at Panipat, the available land within the area of the existing substation is sufficient for upgradation. The status of land is summarized below in Table 3.6.

CHAPTER 4 – IMPACT ASSESSMENT

4.1 Introduction As discussed in the previous Chapter, for the proposed substation land sites have been identified. For 4 new substations, identified sites belong to village panchayats and for the upgradation of substation at Panipat, no additional land is required. Therefore, the impact for this package is mainly the o loss of land of the respective panchayats; o loss of income that accrues to the panchayats from auction of the aforesaid plots of land; o impact on those who have taken panchayat land on lease for cultivation; and o Loss of trees at the site in village Nangal Mohanpur village

The indirect impacts as felt by the village community have been recorded in the next chapter on Community Consultations. This chapter discussed the impacts and brings out the socio- economic profile of affected PAPs, in order to arrive at their entitlement for compensation and assistance.

4.1 Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts Out of the four substations where panchayat land needs to be acquired, the land at Sataundi, Pali is cultivable and currently the respective panchayats have given it on annual lease to individuals. The social assessment carried out by the Consultants brought out that the lease is annual. It was also verified that there is no adverse impact on structures of any kind. The impact due to this package consisting of substations is summarized in Table 4.1.

Table 4.1 – Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts IMPACTS on Name of Ownership Area Cultivable PAPs Affected Structures Trees Sub-station of Land in acre /barren Population

It is evident from the above table that no individual will be impacted by the proposed substations at Kairu, Nangal Mohanpur and also at Kabri substation at Panipat. A total of 2 families will be adversely affected in Sataundi and Pali villages. These families have got panchayat land on lease and they cultivate it. They have no additional land and work as agricultural workers otherwise on other plots of land. Therefore, the impact as a result of the proposed substations will be insignificant. The socio-economic profile of affected household is given below in Section 4.2.

Page 25

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

Impact on trees will be felt in Nangal Mohanpur village where more than 1200 kikar trees shall be cut. Site visit confirmed in the total area measuring approximately 70 acres, there are more than 6000-7000 kikar trees and a result there shall be no shortage of trees for firewood requirements. These trees were planted by Forest department 10 years ago (see Annexure D3 for letter from forest department) to increase green area cover and are now planned to be cut by the Forest department.

4.2 Socio-economic Profile of the Affected Households The socio-economic survey brought out the impact on families, the family size, social composition, educational attainment, occupation, annual income and vulnerable PAPs. The 2 project affected persons (PAPs) were surveyed. Combining all family members the population impacted recorded is 8 members. The average family size of affected PAPs works out to be 4. The size of affected household has been summarized in Table 4.2.

4.3 Other Impacts The survey team also assessed indirect impacts on the villages where these substations are proposed. On the basis of their observation and interactions, other impacts have been assessed and described villages wise in the subsequent paragraphs.

4.2.1 Impact on Sataundi village, Karnal district Sataundi is a prosperous village with many persons engaged in agriculture as well as in factories in Panipat. Though the piece of land required for construction of a substation, is very fertile, its acquisition will not displace any person or have any adverse impacts. The village is fully aware of the benefits as it has already been a beneficiary/recipient of the power supply from the 33 kV sub-station. During the course of social assessment, it emerged that the village had provided this land so that they can have additional power to meet their daily power needs. In terms of adverse impacts, the loss of this land shall deprive the village panchayat of the income that is derived from the annual auction of this piece of land it.

Its positive impacts as understood by the villagers are many as they are already getting 4-5 hours power supply from this sub-station (See Chapter 5 on Stakeholder Consultations). It shall greatly facilitate the three phase power that is essential for agricultural purposes particularly during paddy season. Limited availability of power is reportedly hindering the villagers in exploiting the full potential of their very productive agricultural land. Hence, benefits envisaged at this stage include improved irrigation and facilitation in domestic work. In the long run, villagers also anticipate increase in the value of their land.

4.2.2 Impact on Kairu village, Bhiwani district Of the 141 acres of barren panchayat land that belongs to Kairu village, the panchayat has agreed to transfer 8.75 acres to HVPNL for the construction of a 132 kV substation. This piece of land was of little productive use to the village. A small fraction of the land has been used by the villagers for making cowdung cakes (or Upala). Other than this there are no activities carried out on this site. Also, no attempt has been made by the villagers to put the land to any productive use in the past as well. The transfer of this land to the HVPNL will not adversely impact any section of the village community.

The area has the potential to develop faster and poor power supply is considered as one of impediments to achieving the full productivity potential. At this stage, the village community could envisage positive impacts as told by them, which has been discussed in the next chapter. Development of the area shall receive a boost both from the NTPC plant and the proposed sub-station. The village which has a Herbal park and other infrastructure such as schools, hospitals in either its own village or in Kairu is poised for accelerated growth. The period of construction work shall throw up employment of a temporary or permanent nature. Indirect benefits such as development of the area would have spin-off effects on the village economy.

4.2.3 Impact on Kabri village, Panipat Due to the proposed upgradation of the substation no adverse impacts such as loss of land or displacement of persons shall occur. Benefits perceived observed by persons living in

Page 28

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project adjoining areas are documented in the next chapter. A key concern as expressed by the persons residing in staff quarters of sub-station is with regard to safety. Currently, the switchyard is at a distance from the housing colony. However, once the 132 kV sub-station is constructed it shall be right in front of the colony.

4.2.4 Impact on Nangal - Mohanpur village, Mahendragarh district The proposed site for the 132 kV substation in this village is barren and uncultivable land. The only use of this piece of land was the firewood that the villagers obtained from the many kikar trees that grow on it. There are 1221 number of kikar trees on the site that would be cut. However, as consultations with the villagers indicated there are many more kikar trees (nearly 6000-7000) trees in the surrounding piece of land. Hence there shall be no shortage of firewood for the village. No attempts too had been made the villagers to put the land to any productive use. Hence the transfer of this land to the HVPNL will not adversely impact any section of the village community.

Interactions with women groups indicated that the proposed substation, will greatly development of the area. Besides benefitting education, this shall help in some potential for development of training centres for stitching etc. Positive gender impact is likely in view of the fact that better power supply shall enable women to use electronic appliance for certain domestic chores.

4.2.5 Impact on Pali village, Mahendragarh district The proposed site for the 132 kV sub-station in this village is fertile agricultural land. The village shall experience only positive benefits from this infrastructural development. Other features such as a Railway overbridge and a Central university are coming up in the surrounding areas and are likely to positively impact the development of the area. Better power supply as a result of this substation will have spin-off effects on the village economy.

CHAPTER 5 – STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS

5.1 Introduction Consultation refers to the two-way transfer of information or joint discussion between project proponent and the community in concern. It helps build a rapport with the community and also helps to provide certain details on the area that planners cannot often foresee. It helps identify impacts, the vulnerable groups, their source of vulnerabilities and the people and groups that are likely to be affected. Besides, information provided during such consultations helps allay fears and builds trust – a key aspect to the successful implementation of any project.

This chapter provides details on the community consultations held during the field visit and their outcomes with respect to the villages where the five sub-stations are sited. Under this package, three sets of consultations were held – with the officials, with Panchayats and community members and with the women’s groups. Consultations with officials were carried out to understand the coverage of the lines, the proposed route, the difficulties felt in selecting the most appropriate alignment, criterion adopted therein and the alternative routes explored, if any. Consultations with Panchayat/Village community members were carried out based on the list of issues that were part of the consultation checklist developed (see Annexure H1), and covered a host of issues, such as current land holding, BPL status, education, health, types of crops cultivated, likely employment opportunities, etc in order to assess the impact, identify vulnerabilities and understand their perceptions. Consultations with womens groups were held to understand their perceptions and understand the variations in their perceptions towards a similar infrastructure development. An attempt was made to understand the current power supply status, development schemes of government and other on-going development work in the village or in its vicinity (See Annexures A5, D5, C5, D5, E4). This chapter presents the summary of consultations held with these three groups.

5.2 Perceptions towards the Project at Sataundi village Consultations with Officials: Executive Engineer (XEN), HVPNL, Karnal, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Construction, and XEN, Civil were consulted to understand the site specifications and reason for choosing them. The officials mentioned that the villagers were very keen on this getting more in their village and had been long awaiting this proposed upgradation of the substation. Though adequate power is available in the area, the officials are unable to provide due to lack of adequate capacity of the transformer. They also indicated that disposal of batteries is done in a systematic way i.e. by sending to them stockyard at Panipat and then auctioned. Thus it is ensured that the batteries do not impact the village or dirty the surroundings.

Consultations with Community/Panchayat members: Combined consultation was held with the village panchayat and the community members. Transfer of the said land and its impact was discussed. Issues discussed mainly included current situation of power supply, irrigation, safety measures and other social impacts. Consultations started with gathering details on the size of village, its social composition, the number of households in the village, land holding and occupation etc. Following this, information on the project was disseminated. Information included reasons for siting of the sub-station in the village land, coverage of the existing sub- station, the duration of its construction, etc.

Social impacts: Villagers responded with details on these issues and stated that transaction of land between the village and HVPNL was well-known to all members and is in the interest of

Page 30

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project the village. Of the total land of 250-300 acres of land that belongs to the Panchayat, the village has given 4 acres for this upgradation. At present, the power supply of 7-8 hours in day and 4-5 hours of three phase supply required for agriculture is insufficient. They felt that the land is being used for an important infrastructural purpose and they are likely to get much better power supply than what they have been receiving all along. Hence, loss of piece of land for the substation shall not be felt as the benefits shall outweigh the loss.

The villagers indicated that they had been very keen on this infrastructure project and had passed the resolution agreeing to give the land to HVPNL long back and had been following up with the authorities repeatedly. They also stated, they had given 5 acres of land to HVPNL in the past for the construction of this existing 33 kV sub-station. They only observed that the overload on the transformers is causing inadequate supply. They hoped that with this upgradation, the shortage will reduce. They expect that there would be power supply for at least for 16-18 hours in a day. In terms of ensuring that power supply is not wasted, they indicated that there are many houses in the village that have CFL4 bulbs.

Enhancements: They are aware that the road adjacent to at the back-side of the existing sub- station shall be improved when the upgradation takes place. The internal roads are fine and the streets are well maintained. Villagers indicated that they have declared their ambition to win the Nirmal Gram Puruskar for clean village and all villagers are working towards it.

Compensation and Assistance: Also in case at the time of construction, their crops are standing, they shall be compensated for it

Safety issues: The villagers were informed of the safety issues such as restrictions of access in and around the sub-station owing to presence of high voltage equipment. The villagers understood and accepted the restrictions as requirements of such a project and assured their full cooperation.

Benefits: In terms of benefits, they perceive the benefits to be better education for children, water for agriculture, stimulus to industries. Currently no government programmes are operational. Despite different avenues such as agriculture and work in adjacent factories, they report a lot of unemployment.

Other issues: These included lack of medical facilities in the village.

Outcomes: These consultations clearly brought out that this infrastructure development intervention would enhance the power supply to this village. The village which is developed on all other accounts shall immensely benefit from this improved and reliable power supply. More reliable power supply would prove immensely beneficial to children for their education, for water supply for domestic and agricultural use. Overall expectations of development as a result of the upgradation of the existing sub-station were high.

Consultations with vulnerable group – women: Often project interventions have been seen to have differential impacts on different groups of people in same area or same village or even within the same household. It is therefore important to consult a vulnerable group such as

4 A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also known as a compact fluorescent light or energy saving light (or less commonly as a compact fluorescent tube [CFT]), is a type of fluorescent lamp. Compared to general service incandescent lamps giving the same amount of visible light, CFLs generally use less power, have a longer rated life, but a higher purchase price.

‘women’ when it is expected that the project shall have different impact. As they may not always participate in public forums, it is essential to consult them separately for their views with a view to incorporate their suggestions in planning and implementation. They were consulted to: o provide to them information on the proposed sub-station; and o to elicit their views and perceptions on benefits from the better power supply

Women group mentioned that the electricity supply was available for 6-7 hrs per day. None of the electric equipments in their house (e.g. fridge, television etc.) could be put to use due to lack of electric supply. Household industries like ice factories, flour mills, stitching and dairy production could not run well due to lack of proper electric supply and as a result there was a lot of dependence on agriculture. The frequent cases of breakdown of these electric equipments were indicative of low voltage supply. The women also raised a concern on the effect of low electricity supply on children since they could not study in evening hours. Discussions indicated that women in this village contribute to the work in the field, besides household chores. While their work in the field is more visible, their non-wage contribution to household subsistence includes informal contributions to collection of fuel and water, besides cooking, cleaning, and child-care, is less visible. Better power supply is expected to ease pressure for women folk. The overall expectations as a result of the sub-station were high, and the development has the potential for positive gender impact.

5.3 Perceptions towards the Project at Kairu village, Bhiwani district Consultations with Officials: Consultants met with XEN, Transmission System (T/S) Division, Bhiwani, S.D.O. Civil, Bhiwani and J. E. Bhiwani at Bhiwani district. They were consulted to understand the site specifications and reason for choosing them and what in their view would be benefits for the village and also if they proposed to enhance the site in any way. The officials responded that the chosen site is very appropriate and its proximity to the major district road is an added advantage.

Consultations with Community/Panchayat members: Combined consultation was held with the village panchayat and the community members. Issues discussed mainly included current situation of power supply, irrigation, safety measures and other social impacts. Consultation started with gathering details on the size of village, its social composition, the number of households in the village, land holding and occupation etc. Following this, information on the project was disseminated. Information included reasons for siting of the sub-station in the village land, coverage of the existing sub-station, the duration of its construction, etc.

The villagers briefly mentioned that the village of Kairu was a single village till the year 1972. After 1972, they had been separated into two villages for administrative purposes and have two separate panchayats. The proposed site is Kairu I.

Land issue: On the issue of giving land for the sub-station, they mentioned that they had on earlier occasions they had given land for other purposes too. These included 50 acres of land for a NTPC plant, more than 50 more acres for a Herbal park. They stated that the current crops include wheat, sarsoon, methi and jowar. They sell their produce at Jui mandi (market).

Power supply: They stated that power supply is only available for 5-6 hours in a day i.e. for about 2-3 hours during the day and 2-3 hours at night. The light is very dim and it does not help the cause. They indicated that children find it extremely difficult to study at night because of poor power supply and in fact closer to examinations they tend to stay in towns such as Bhiwani to be able to study better. Generator and handpumps are present in the village to help draw from ground water that is the only source of water till the water works currently being constructed commence operations.

Social impacts: Villagers stated that transaction of land between the village and HVPNL was well-known to all members and shall benefit the village. Currently the site area is only shrubs and the initial part of that is adjacent to the road is used for making of Upalas and gobar etc. and there is enough space nearby for them to carry on the same. As a result loss of this piece of land transacted shall not be felt.

Enhancements: They hoped that the sub-station may bring employment opportunities and industrial development to their area.

Compensation and Assistance: During the consultations they were informed that the processing of the resolution would be carried out as per policy of government of Haryana.

Safety issues: The villagers were informed on safety issues such as restrictions of access in and around the sub-station owing to presence of high voltage equipment. The villagers understood and accepted the restrictions as requirements of such a project and assured their full cooperation.

Page 34

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

Benefits: They perceive that the sub-project will be beneficial for education of their children, water for agriculture, possible industries such as of leather.

Other issues: Despite different avenues such as agriculture and work in adjacent factories, they reported unemployment as a major issue.

Outcomes: These consultations clearly brought out that this infrastructure development would enhance the power supply of the village greatly and complement other developments that are taking place currently. More and reliable power supply would prove immensely beneficial to children for their education, for water supply for domestic and agricultural use. Overall expectations of development as a result of the upgradation of the existing sub-station were high.

Consultations with Vulnerable groups – Women: It was not possible to meet women groups separately in the village as they were busy attending to some function and other daily chores.

5.4 Perceptions towards the Project at Kabri, Panipat district Consultation with Officials: Consultants met with XEN T/S Division, Panipat district and other officials. The officials indicated that the upgradation did not contain any major issues as the land required was already available at the existing sub-station site. Besides, this land had been obtained at the time when all the three entities – generation, transmission and distribution companies were a single body and known as the Haryana State Electricity Board. Hence the land is currently in favour of HSEB. Also they indicated that the sub-station would be the starting point of a 2.3 km LILO line that connects to the PTPS –Chandauli line.

Consultation with factory owner: The factory carries out Spinning, weaving, finishing and producing yarn for blankets with markets all over India. They experience power cuts and for this period and depend on diesel generator. Besides, they experience tripping for intervals of 5 minute and for approximately 3-6 hours in a day. The factory has three meters totaling to 210 kilowatt connection. They require water for the commercial consumption and have submersible pumps to fetch ground water. They observed that it would be better to have reliable and better power supply and hoped that this upgradation would help reduce dependence on diesel gensets which in turn help improve production and also profits. It would significantly help to meet production targets without resorting to use of gensets or inverters. Also they observed that if prior schedule of powers cuts were intimated, it would immensely help them to schedule production.

Consultation with women (Housing colony): Electricity supply was reported to be available most of the time in the day. Power cut was reported only at the time of a breakdown/fault. They reported water supply to be good. They informed that their children go to Karnal to study. It was informed that the children were well aware of the danger of playing near the substation fence and hence stayed away from it. The women informed about frequent sparks seen generating from the substation due to short circuits etc. specially during rainy/stormy weather. The women had no objections to the construction of substation on the land available in front of their houses since the land already belonged to HVPNL. However, they requested for some open space to be left vacant in front of their houses and the boundary of the sub station for various activities and also since the same can be used as a play area for children. Most women in the village were educated upto Higher Secondary Level.

BPL Housing colony: Majority of persons in the locality work in the agricultural field through which the line passes, and they live adjacent to the Sub-station. They work as laborers in adjacent factories. With respect to power supply, they stated that they receive 7-8 hours of power supply and have a single fan at home and pay Rs. 200-300 per month as bill to pay. While some of these households have legal connections, other are reported to have illegal connections.

On other issues they stated that for education children go to school in Kabri village that is bordering Panipat. Their main occupation is working in adjacent factories and occasions such as at present, wherein due to lower demand, currently there is shortage of work.

5.5 Perceptions towards the Project at Nangal-Mohanpur village Consultations with Officials: The Consultant team met with Superintending Engineer T/S Circle, Gurgaon, Sub-station Engineer, 220kV substation, Mahendragarh, Executive Engineer (EE), Civil, Mahendragarh and XEN, T/S Division, Rewari. Officials explained the site specifications, reason(s) for choosing the site, proposed enhancements, if any and also gave their views on potential benefits for the village and also if they. They indicated they had explored options including upgrading an existing sub-station.

Consultations with Community/Panchayat members: Combined consultation was held with the village panchayat and the community members. Transfer of the said land and its impact was discussed. Issues discussed mainly included current situation of power supply, irrigation, safety measures and other social impacts. Consultations started with gathering details on the size of village, its social composition, the number of households in the village, land holding and occupation etc. Following this, information on the project was disseminated. Information included reasons for siting of the sub-station in the village land, coverage of the existing sub- station, the duration of its construction, etc.

Land: The panchayat has donated 9.36 acres of their land for the sub-station as they felt that this was important for improving the power supply which currently is abysmal as they receive only 5 hours of supply.

Social impacts: Villagers mentioned that everyone in their village was aware of the proposed project and the site that had been identified for construction of a substation. All of them agreed that the substation is very much needed for the village and other villages in the area. They categorically stated that the piece of land transacted had been barren for long. They observed that the kikar trees on the site were of inferior quality and only served as firewood. As there were plenty more trees in the area that would help to meet the firewood requirements, they would have no problems with cutting of these Kikar trees. The improved power supply would help improve the overall village situation in terms of irrigation, improvement in education for children, open other avenues for employment. It was as much a necessity as water in their view.

Enhancements: They felt that benefits of such a project would help attract other development measures as power supply is very critical to all development.

Compensation and Assistance: Though the resolution does not state any condition, they indicated that they expected compensation at circle rate as indicated in the resolution.

Safety issues: The villagers were informed of the safety issues such as restrictions of access in and around the sub-station owing to presence of high voltage equipment. The villagers assured their full cooperation.

Benefits: In terms of benefits, they perceive the benefits to be better education for children, better irrigation for their lands, development of industries leading to greater employment for the unemployed. Usage of home appliances for carrying out work too would be greatly facilitated.

Outcome: Overall expectations of development as a result of the new sub-station were high.

Page 39

Consultations with vulnerable group – women: Often project interventions have been seen to have differential impacts on different groups of people in same area or same village or even within the same household. It is therefore important to consult a vulnerable group such as women when it is expected that the project shall have different impact. As they may not always participate in public forums, it is essential to consult them separately for their views with a view to incorporate their suggestions in planning and implementation. They were consulted to: o provide to them information on the proposed sub-station, and o to elicit their views and perceptions on benefits from the better power supply

Consultation with women brought out that the electricity supply was reported to be available for 6-7 hrs per day. None of the electric appliances in the house could be put to proper use due to lack of electric supply. Discussions indicated that women in this village contribute to the work in the field, besides household chores. While their work in the field is more visible, their non-wage contribution to household subsistence includes informal contributions to collection of fuel and water, not to mention cooking, cleaning, and child-care, is less visible. Better power supply would help their village which otherwise, they proudly stated, is much ahead of all other villages in the area. In conclusion, it would suffice to state that the overall expectations of development as a result of the sub-station were high and has the potential for positive gender impact on women as its consequence.

5.6 Perceptions towards the Project at Pali village Consultations with Officials: Consultants with Superintending Engineer T/S Circle, Gurgaon, Sub-station Engineer, 220 kV substation, Mahendragarh, EE Civil, Mahendragarh and Xen, T/S Division, Rewari. Officials were consulted to understand the site specifications and reason for choosing them. Also they explained the process and time duration it would take to get the sub-station operational.

Consultations with Community/Panchayat members: Combined consultation was held with the village panchayat and the community members. Transfer of the said land and its impact was discussed. Issues discussed mainly included current situation of power supply, irrigation, safety measures and other social impacts. Consultations started with gathering details on the size of village, its social composition, the no. of households in the village, land holding and occupation etc. Following this, information on the project was disseminated. Information included reasons for siting of the sub-station in the village, coverage of the existing sub- station, the duration of its construction, etc.

Land use: The village has a total of 2000 acres of panchayat land. Besides, there is agricultural land on which crops such as mustard, wheat, bajra and chana are grown. The produces are sold in the market. The panchayat has donated 5.52 acres of their land for the sub-station. Farming is the primary occupation, although most of the villagers are employed in defense services.

Electricity status: They observed that power supply is available for approximately 3-4 hours a day and this, in particular, impacts water supply. Irrigation is a major issue, particularly when electricity is not available. Water level is around 400 ft. deep, though tubewells are there. Handpumps have been installed in the village.

Social impacts: Villagers were aware of the details of the transaction and indicated that improvement in power situation was very important for them as carrying out daily activities is a real burden in its absence. Loss of this land would be felt only marginally as this plot of land is part of the total plot of 18 acres of land that is given to Scheduled caste families on an annual basis as per the required quota. However, the benefit of better power supply shall prove beneficial to the whole area and help agriculture too.

Other issues: A dispensary and primary health centre (PHC) is available in the village. 4 Anganwadi Kendras are functioning in the vicinity of the village. There is on B. Ed College and four schools upto 10+2 are around in the vicinity of the village. Girls of the present generation are all educated. Also one Kendriya Vidyalaya is located in the village. Education upto the age group of 40 years is 100% and from 40-70 years is 70%. Engineering and medical graduates can also be found in the villages, though they are doing service in distant places.

Enhancements: They expected more employment to result and hoped that for any such infrastructure construction they would be given preference i.e. local labor be employed.

Compensation and Assistance: They indicated that they categorically stated that lease arrangement is not preferred because it is difficult to monitor it on a yearly basis. Rather giving the land on a circle rate is a one time transaction and is also more transparent.

Page 41

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

Safety issues: Villagers were informed that though the land earlier belong to them, but after construction, the sub-station would not be a thoroughfare and entry would be restricted. The villagers assured cooperation on this issue by stating that people in this village were the most cooperative that you can find anywhere

Benefits: In terms of benefits, they perceive there would be direct and indirect benefits of better power supply such as in education, irrigation, setting of shops, grinding of wheat, reducing drudgery of women in fetching water.

Consultations with vulnerable group – women: Women group consulted during the survey indicated that the electricity supply was available to them for about 5-6 house everyday. Many houses have electrical appliances. Drawing water from far off places due to no water supply was a major drudgery. In terms of literacy, they indicated that about 70 of them were literate. There were 4 schools, 1 law college, a dispensary and 2 veterinary hospitals. They stated poor light supply led to problems in studying. While many of them knew stitching, there were no training centres. Even if there were such centres, too much time and energy is consumed in fetching water and carrying out other chores at home that could be carried out easily if there were power supply.

CHAPTER 6 – RESETTLEMENT POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK

6.1 Policy, Legal and Regulatory Framework This section presents the legal requirements of Land Acquisition Policy and the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy and entitlements for affected families. The legal framework for any project includes process of land acquisition and measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Haryana government had published its R&R policy last year. As a result HVPNL has joined a list of other entities in power transmission business to have an Environment, Social Policy and Procedures document. The features of the R&R Policy are indicative of the kind of impacts that have been felt by such companies over many years. The features of the R&R Policy are indicative of the kind of impacts that have been felt by such companies over many years.

HVPNL undertakes its transmission activities within purview of Indian laws keeping in mind appropriate obligations and guidelines of statutory and funding agencies. As per provision contained in Haryana Electricity Reforms Act 1997 & Electricity Act, 2003 Acts, HVPNL has authority to install transmission towers in any kind of land. Electricity Act, 2003 seeks to create a framework for the power sector development by measures conducive to the industry. Power transmission schemes are planned in such a way that the power of eminent domain is exercised responsibly.

Mandatory environment requirements for HVPNL transmission works include: Mandatory social requirements for HVPNL transmission works includes Land Acquisition Act 1894, Haryana Government Rehabilitation & Resettlement Policy for land acquisition Oustees and funding agencies requirement like WB OP 4.12 involuntary resettlement, WB OP 4.10 Indigenous People. National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy 2007 has also been consulted while framing the ESPP.

6.2 Procedure for Land Acquisition All land acquisition for any public purpose in the state is governed by the Land Acquisition Act 1894 as amended from time to time by the State Govt. This empowers the government to acquire compulsorily any land not owned by it which is required for a public purpose. The definition of land includes benefits to arise out of land & things attached to earth or permanently fastened to any thing attached to the earth. This act applies to those with legal entitlements to land and structures thereon.

(i) For any LA the Act under section (u/s)-4(1) stipulates publication of a notification to that effect in the official Gazette and in 2 daily newspapers circulated in the locality, at least, one shall be in the regional language. Such a publication authorizes an authorized officer to enter upon such a land, make a preliminary survey ascertain its suitability and determine the exact position of land to be acquired. However, person can enter into any building or any enclosure attached to a dwelling house either by giving notices of seven days to the occupant or with the consent of occupant. The substance of this notification is given as public notice at a convenient place in the locality in which the land to be acquired is located, such a notification provides an opportunity to the parties interested in the land to file objections if any, u/s-5A to the proposed acquisition. (ii) In order to proceed with the acquisition of the land (as notified u/s-4) it is followed by declaration u/s 6 of the ibid Act specifying that land is required for public purpose. Every declaration is published in the official Gazette and in two daily newspapers with circulation in the local area, thereafter revenue Department issues direction to the

Page 44

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

Collector u/s-7 of the Act to take order for the acquisition of notified land to be marked out, measured land/or other immovable properties, which is done under the provision of Sec.8 of the act in question. Thereafter under the provision s contained in Sec.-9 notices are served to the concerned persons stating the intention of the Government to take possession of the land and that any claims for compensation should be made to the Collector. Finally, the award of compensation is made by the collector u/s-11 of the Act after inquiring into objections(if any) in pursuance of the notice given u/s-9 to the measurements made u/s-8 and into the value of the land on the date of publication of the notification/s4(1). The award u/s-11 is made within two years from the date of publication of the declaration and if no award is made within this period, the entire proceedings of the LA is lapsed and fresh notification u/s-(4) needs to be initiated. Once the award is passed, the collector takes possession of the land which there upon vests absolutely in the Government free from all encumbrances. However, in case of urgency Section-17 of the Act empowers the Collector to take possession of the land even though no award has been made. Such land thereupon vests with the Government free from all encumbrances.

However, this Act further provides remedy for seeking enhancement of compensation by the person to seek enhancement of compensation in lieu of acquired as per provisions contained in Sec.18 of ibid Act. This act was further amended in 1984 with respect to sections 4,23,28 and 34 which deal with publication of primary notification determination of compensation; power of the court in determining the amount of compensation; interest on compensation and payment of interest respectively. To sum up the amended provisions have resulted in the following:-  The publication of the primary notification, apart from the Official Gazette, has to be made in two daily newspapers circulated in that locality of which at least one shall be in the regional language.  In addition to the market value of the land the court is to award a sum of thirty percent as solatium on such market value in consideration of the compulsory nature of the acquisition.  The amount of compensation awarded by the court is not to be lower than the amount awarded by the collector.  The interest of excess compensation has been enhanced from 9 per cent to 15 per cent after the date of expiry of a period of one year from the date on which possession has been taken.

HVPNL strictly follows procedures laid down under the Land Acquisition Act (LA Act), 1894, when land is acquired for sub-stations. Once the award is passed, the collector takes possession of the land which there upon vests absolutely in the Government free from all encumbrances. These are further reinforced taking into consideration HVPNL’s entitlement framework and public consultation process apart from inbuilt consultation process of LA Act, public consultation/information by HVPNL is an integral part of the project implementation. Public is informed about the project at every stage of execution by Press Notes and media etc. During socio-economic survey taken up in parallel with land acquisition process, HVPNL’s site officials meet people and inform them about the Land acquisition details, proposed R&R measures and compensation packages

6.3 World Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) The objectives of the World Bank’s Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12) are:

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

 Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs.  Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs. Providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits.  Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.  Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation whichever is higher

6.4 HVPNL Environment and Social Policy and Procedures The ESPP of the company has been developed following consideration of all the mandatory requirements of the national and state policies and acts and also the guidelines of funding agencies in addressing the social and environmental issues arising out of its activities. The company is committed to identify, assess, and manage environmental and social concerns at both organization and project levels by strictly following the basic principals of avoidance, minimization and mitigation of environmental & social impacts with the improvement of Management Systems and introduction of State of the Art and proven technologies.

The key principles of HVPNL’s social policy are:  Avoid any disruption of socially sensitive areas with regard to human habitation and areas of cultural significance;  Wherever losses are suffered, assistance will be provided to the affected persons to improve or at least regain their living standards;  Consultations will be held among local population regarding finalization of proposed route of the transmission lines and sub-stations;  Ensure in delivering R&R entitlements and compensation for lost assets based on HVPNL’s entitlement framework.  Involuntary resettlement will be avoided or minimized by exploring all viable alternative project designs.  All adversely affected persons including those without title to land will be provided assistance to improve or regain their living standards to the pre project levels.  Special attention will be paid for the improvement of living standards of marginalized and vulnerable groups.  If any person’s remaining land holding becomes operationally non viable, the entire holding will be acquired and compensated accordingly, if the Affected Family (AF) desires. A similar approach will be adopted for structures affected partially.  Physical works will not commence on any portion of land before compensation and assistance to the affected population have been provided in accordance with the policy framework.

6.5 Social Entitlement framework The prescriptive social entitlement framework derives from the aforementioned constitutional directives national R&R Policy, State R&R Policy and relevant policies. Physical displacement of people is not, and will not be, a major consequence of the company’s projects as has been the experience in the case with the other transmission companies. Regardless of displacement occurs, the entitlement framework will be a base for all its management

CHAPTER 7 – COMPENSATION AND ASSISTANCE

7.1 Introduction This chapter deals with the mitigation measures for the losses caused by the proposed substations. Provisions applicable to compensation for panchayat land and compensation and assistance to PAPs are as follows:

Compensation for panchayat land: Compensation for panchayat land shall be as per clause 7 of ESPP i.e. Government of Haryana’s policy. The government of Haryana’s notification related transfer of panchayat land mentions that: for lease of lands for setting up facilities/infrastructure/units of public utility nature by the Government or by any of its agencies like Boards/Corporations/Companies, etc, the applicable lease money shall be an amount equal to ten percent of the Collector rate of the land per acre year with progressive increase of ten percent after every five years.

Compensation and Assistance to PAPs: Clause b (ii) of the ESPP shall be applicable for tenants, sharecroppers, leaseholder including the commercial and other establishments. The entitlements are: o reimbursement for unexpired tenancy/share cropping/ lease period. o Tenants /sharecroppers/leaseholders who belong to the vulnerable category will be paid one time additional compensation of Rs. 5000/- in addition to the above entitlement.

Under the ESPP, there is no provision for any assistance to the PAP.

7.2 Compensation and assistance – Sataundi Sub-station The loss of land shall have the following negative impacts: o loss of income that accrues to the Panchayat on an annual basis from auction of the aforesaid plot of land. o loss of income that the leaseholder derives from cultivation of the land and sale of the produce. Impact shall be greater in the case of a PAP belonging to a vulnerable category.

Scenario I: As per the resolution passed by Sataundi village, wherein land shall be given free of cost. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land taken will be nil.

Scenario II: If land is taken on lease as per government of Haryana’s policy. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land shall be as per clause given above in notification issued by government of Haryana.

In both scenarios, compensation to leaseholder PAPs shall require at the time of implementation, information on the leaseholder, his or her vulnerability status, duration of the lease and unexpired lease period should be recorded. Compensation payable for the unexpired lease period has to be calculated and paid accordingly to the leaseholder. An additional compensation amount of Rs. 5000/- is payable to the leaseholder PAP if he belongs to the vulnerable group.

Page 52

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

At the time of survey, only one leaseholder PAP was recorded to be from the vulnerable category i.e. Scheduled Caste.

Based on the above applicable clauses, compensation amount payable in both scenarios has been presented in Chapter 9 on Budget Estimates.

7.3 Compensation and Assistance – Kairu The impact of the project resulting in loss of land has no adverse impacts on the village. On the contrary, as details in the previous chapters show that this transaction would actually help the village economy. In other words, impact is wholly positive.

As per the resolution passed by Kairu panchayat, the land is being given free of cost and there are no conditions to the transaction. Hence there are two likely scenarios and these are as given below: Scenario I: As per the resolution passed by Kairu village, wherein land shall be given free of cost. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land taken will be nil.

Scenario II: If land is taken on lease as per government of Haryana’s policy. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land shall be as per clause given above in notification issued by government of Haryana.

Based on the above applicable clauses, compensation amount payable for both scenarios has been presented in Chapter 9 on Budget Estimates.

7.4 Compensation and Assistance – Kabri Sub-station As there are no impacts identified (See Chapter 4 on Impact on Affected Persons), there is requirement for compensation or assistance. However, in the event there is relocation of the residents of staff quarter, assistance shall be made as per company guidelines to facilitate their move and relocation.

7.5 Compensation and Assistance – Nangal Mohanpur The impact of the project resulting in loss of land has no adverse impacts on the village. On the contrary, as details in the previous chapters show that this transaction would actually help the village economy. In other words, impact is wholly positive.

There are two possible scenarios in the transfer of land to HVPNL. They are given below: Scenario I: As per the resolution passed by Nangal Mohanpur village, wherein land shall be given at Circle rate. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land taken will be nil.

Scenario II: If land is taken on lease as per government of Haryana’s policy. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land shall be as per clause given above in notification issued by government of Haryana.

In addition, for trees that shall be cut compensatory afforestation has to be carried out as per required norms.

7.6 Compensation and Assistance – Pali village The loss of land shall have the following negative impacts: o loss of income that accrues to the Panchayat on an annual basis from auction of the aforesaid plot of land.

Page 53

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

o loss of income that the leaseholder derives from cultivation of the land and sale of the produce. Impact shall be greater in the case of a PAP belonging to a vulnerable category.

However, as the papers are not yet in favour of HVPNL, compensation for panchayat land shall be as per clause 7 of ESPP. As per the resolution passed by Pali, there are no conditions to the transaction except that they are willing to give the land at circle rate. Therefore two scenarios emerge and they are:

Scenario I: As per the resolution passed by Pali village, wherein land shall be given free of cost. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land taken will be nil.

Scenario II: If land is taken on lease as per government of Haryana’s policy. In this scenario, compensation to Panchayat for land shall be as per clause given above in notification issued by government of Haryana. As confirmed by the district officials, the circle rate for land in Pali village of Mahendgarh district is Rs. 9,00,000/acre (see Annexure E3 for notification for rate applicable to Pali village). This shall form basis for calculation of the compensation amount for the 5.52 acres of land at Pali village.

In both scenarios, compensation to leaseholder PAPs shall require at the time of implementation, information on the leaseholder, his or her vulnerability status, duration of the lease and unexpired lease period should be recorded. Compensation payable for the unexpired lease period has to be calculated and paid accordingly to the leaseholder. An additional compensation amount of Rs. 5000/- is payable to the leaseholder PAP if he belongs to the vulnerable group. At the time of survey, only one leaseholder PAP was recorded to be from the vulnerable category i.e. Scheduled Caste.

Based on the above applicable clauses, compensation amount payable for both scenarios has been presented in Chapter 9 on Budget Estimates.

CHAPTER 8 – INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND GRIEVANCE

REDRESSAL MECHANISMS

8.1 Introduction This section deals with the institutional arrangement and grievance redressal mechanisms as enunciated in the ESPP of HVPNL. These would be applicable to all the sub-stations and transmission lines that get funded under this proposed World Bank project.

8.2 Institutional Framework The company will have three levels of Institutional bodies to oversee and implement ESPP. The bodies are constituted at Head Quarter level; Zonal level; and Divisional Level

At Head Quarter Level: Environment, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Committee (ER&R) under the chairmanship of the Director Technical includes the concerned Chief Engineer/TS and CE/P&D HVPN, Panchkula and Deputy Secretary/Projects as the Committee members. Deputy Secretary/Projects will be the Member Secretary of the R&R committee

At Zonal Level: The Environment and Social Monitoring Committee (ESMC) constitute of concerned Chief Engineer/TS , concerned Superintendent Engineer/TS, concerned Executive Engineer/TS, Land Acquisition officer and two representatives of the AFs and ESMC would report to Director Technical, HVPNL, Panchkula.

At Divisional Level: In addition to above, Environment and Social Implementation unit (ESIU) will be there consisting of Executive Engineer/TS and SSE/SDO/Construction of concerned place. The role and functions of the ER&R, ESMC and ESIU include but are not limited to:  Coordinate among the various agencies involved in implementation of the ESPP programs;  Monitor and review implementation of the ESPP plans;  Function as a grievance redressal body; and  Provide overall guidance and leadership for smooth implementation of the resettlement and rehabilitation plans.

To ensure effective implementation of ESPP, HVPNL focuses on 1. strengthening the implementation of the ESPP by redeployment of appropriately trained persons at key levels; 2. reinforcing in house capabilities by working with specialized external agencies; and 3. reviewing progress of the ESPP internally or through external agencies

8.3 Social Procedures HVPNL has developed comprehensive Environmental and Social (E&S) Management Procedures and incorporated them to its project cycle, to ensure that its operation eliminates or minimizes adverse environmental and social impacts. The E&S management procedures identifies the relevant issues at early stages of project cycle and follow the basic philosophy of sustainable development through Avoidance, Minimization and Alleviation.

Page 55

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project

HVPNL’s project cycle forms the operational framework and background through which the environment & social issues are addressed. Key milestones in HVPNL’s transmission projects include project conceptualization; planning; approval; design; tendering; implementation and operation; and maintenance.

8.3.1 Project Conceptualization During project conceptualization, HVPNL identifies the project. Identification of a power transmission project is on the basis of demand and supply in regions and links between new power generating projects and availability of state’s quota of power from the Powergrid. HVPNL carries out feasibility studies encompassing demand for energy, prioritizing for different sectors and regions, environmental and social impact assessment; economic and financial analysis; and an implementation schedule. During feasibility studies, HVPNL identifies and weight various line options on a survey map such that there is shortest distance between origin of the proposed transmission line and the substations sites. At all times, while considering line options, HVPNL keeps in view its policy of avoidance of socially (including environmentally) sensitive areas.

8.3.2 Project Planning During project planning, HVPNL carries out a Reconnaissance survey. A number of alternatives are studied to minimize possible environmental impacts of transmission line. Adequate care is taken in the route alignment to avoid forests and areas of natural resources completely, if not possible, allow to traverses minimally. The planning exercise also ensures that the route does not involve human habitation and areas of cultural importance. Field officers verify critical issues e.g. river, hill, railway crossings; power and telephone lines etc. and finalize the optimal route on the map. Once the route is finalized, HVPNL, will carry out a Environment & Social Assessment with its own field staff and prepare a Environment & Social Impact Assessment. Based on the assessment and the provisions under ESPP, HVPNL will formulate an EMP (Environment Management Plan) & Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) in consultation with AFs.

HVPNL considers various sites for substations. On the basis of data for various parameters considered during selection process, a comprehensive analysis for each alternative site will be carried out. Weightage will be given to various parameters for finalizing alternative sites which are often site specific. Due consideration is given to availability of infrastructure facilities such as access roads, railheads etc. type of land viz. government, revenue, private, agriculture, environment and social impacts such as number of families affected as well as cost of compensation and rehabilitation.

8.3.3 Operation and Maintenance HVPNL continuously monitors the transmission lines and substations. The lines are patrolled regularly to identify any defects in the components. Monitoring of the line is carried out by the respective HVPNL field offices.

8.3.4 Project Review The social components of the project will be reviewed by the ESMU of HVPNL on regular basis. 8.4 Capacity Building Training and development of employees is integral to implementation of ESPP. In the beginning, training would be imparted to the executive/non-executive from NPTI/PGCIL so

Page 56

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project as to enable them to understand the ESPP document, to take necessary steps in right time to implement.

It is recommended that the HVPNL carries out periodic orientation and refresher courses that comprise of social and environmental issues applicable to such projects. Content of these courses should also comprise of the mitigation measures that are required to be adopted in the case of sub-stations and transmission line projects. 8.5 Grievance Redress Mechanism It is expected that through a participatory process and good compensation and support mechanisms, acceptance of the project will be enhanced and complaints reduced. In case of issues related to land acquisition, the LA Act provides adequate provisions at different stages of the LA process for the AFs to object to the proposed acquisition of land and other properties, compensation rates, etc. The LA Act also allows the affected persons to receive the compensation under protest and then refer the case to the court for settlements. However ESMC at the Zonal Level will hear complaints and facilitate solutions. If the grievance is not redressed at zonal level, the affected person can appeal to the Environment R&R committee at Corporate level. He/she can further appeal to the court if his/her grievance is not redressed at either zonal or corporate level.

In addition to the proposed grievance redressal under the ESPP, it is recommended that another level of grievance redressal be added at the Division level to help record complaints. The advantage of such a mechanism would be receive, and forward it to the ESMC at Zonal level for redressal. Past experiences in other such and other infrastructure projects too indicate handling of issues at local level have proved more effective than if they are let to scale up.

CHAPTER 10 – IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

10.1 Introduction The outcome of the RRAP depends upon quality of implementation. This chapter deals with the implementation schedule of the RRAP at different sub-stations.

10.2 Implementation issues and Schedule Key issues in implementation are likely to be the following: (i) Timely processing of resolution/contract agreement between HVPNL and village and transfer of land (ii) Release of funds as per agreement for the first year and also for subsequent years. (iii) Payment of compensation for unexpired lease period, if any at Sataundi village and Pali village; also payment of additional assistance to vulnerable persons, if any (iv) Payment of compensation for trees at Nangal Mohanpur (v) Notification for harvesting of crops at Sataundi village and Pali village

Another recommended, but not mandatory measure would be for HVPNL to hold a consultation meeting with all the members of the villages following processing of resolution and prior to commencement of construction works. This meeting could provide information such as duration of construction, potential disruptions to access roads, potential employment opportunities if any, etc. They could take the opportunity to disseminate information on safety norms applicable and grievance mechanisms available for recording of complaints, if any. These continued consultations shall help continue the good rapport that has been built already besides understand and suitably address any changed perceptions of the people of the affected villages.

Implementation will require detailed coordination between the project authority – HVPNL and other relevant line departments. The breakdown of each activity has been provided in the Implementation Schedule. The Table 10.1 below indicates the implementation schedule in case of land being donated by Panchayat. The total implementation period is likely to be more than two months from the start date of the project. Employment opportunities, if any are likely shall be on continuous/ continual basis.

Community Consultations at Sataundi sub-station

Name of the Village Sataundi Sub-station Venue House of a village member Date 19th February 2009 Start and End Time 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm No. of Persons attended: 18-20 FGD Conducted by Srihari & Ritu Objectives:  inform the community about the upgradation of existing sub-station  to understand their overall facilities available in the colony  to elicit their views and perceptions on project Issues discussed

Discussions began at the sub-station site with a few village members and then subsequently continued at the house of a village member.

Overall village profile: Village of Stuandi has a population of 1100 households and a total population of around 6000 persons, 3500 voters. It was totally a Hindu village and only had 2 Muslim households. Land of panchayat is around 250-300 acres of which they have given 4 acres. Rest of the village has cultivable land of around nearly 5000 acres. People sell their produce in mandis of Gharuanda or Karnal and as they get good prices do not go elsewhere to sell.

They indicated that one of the villagers had nearly 100 acres, other have around 20/40 acres. On a whole average land holding is around 5 acres. Otherwise only 50% of the villagers have lands.

Occupation: While agriculture was the main occupation, many of them also worked at the nearby Panipat refinery and also at the Liberty Leather factory.

Electricity supply and land given for sub-station: Existing sub-station land of 5 acres, additional 4 acres obtained from Panchayat of Stuandi. The village had very fertile land, still under cultivation of sarsoon, paddy. Same is the case on the plot of land that has been given to HVPNL for the purposes of upgradation. Villagers have passed a resolution long back for providing land for HVPNL to set up the 66 kV sub-station. Later on, in the year 2006, they had further given 4 more acres when HVPNL requested for additional land. Villagers very keen on sub-station and associated benefits of better power supply because they believed that with this sub-station upgradation 16 hours supply is apparently guaranteed. They indicated that they knew that the current capacity is poor 10 MVA not sufficient and hence though power is available, still unable to provide enough power to meet needs. Water is available though is impacted by power supply. Water is available though is impacted by power supply.

Benefits: Crops cultivated on this land included wheat, paddy. They perceived the benefits to be better education for children, water for agriculture, possible development of industries such

Page 78

Draft Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan – Package G 7 Substations Haryana Power System Improvement Project as of leather. Also hopefully with this additional power supply, they shall hopefully get the Nirmal Gram Puruskar.

Education: 98% of the children are literate with many graduates. They indicated that in terms of education, the village was well ahead. All female children too go to school, has many graduates and also girls who have studied upto M.Tech. At least 5 law graduates are there in the village.

In terms of other facilities, there is a hospital – normal and veterinary in the vicinity.

Internal streets roads are reportedly fine. While road adjacent to sub-station shall be improved Outcome: Very keen on better power supply so that the village continues to be the best village in the whole area of Panipat

Name of the Village Sataundi Sub-station Venue House of a village member Date 19th February 2009 Start and End Time 6.00 pm to 6.30 pm No. of Persons attended: 3-4 FGD Conducted by Ritu Objectives:  inform ladies about the upgradation of existing sub-station  to understand their overall facilities available in the colony  to elicit their views and perceptions on project Issues discussed

Electricity supply was reported to be available for 6-7 hrs per day. In their view this was a major constraint in a village that other wise is prosperous. They were not aware of the upgradation but believed that such issues were of more interest to the men folk and they had more knowledge of such issues. They shall carry out the activities with whatever supply is available. The women also raised a concern on the effect of low electricity supply on children since they could not study in evening hours. Most women in the village were educated upto Higher Secondary Level and also believed that their children should study. They informed that many of the children particularly girl children were educated even upto M.tech level. They indicated that village was hoping to win the Nirmal gram puruskar – an award given for cleanliness. Power supply would fulfill one key requirement that otherwise has been a bottleneck to exploit their full potential. Outcome: very keen on better power supply to enable all round development

Generator and handpumps are present in the village to help meet the water supply. It is mainly underground water that is a source of water. No industries in the village though there are a few shops, such as cement shops.

There are some with 20 acres, some with 10 acres and some others with 2 and others with none – 7.5 acres on an average

Occupation: They sell their produce at Jui mandi and mostly people go individually and on occasions they go collectively. Salinity too is there in the water

Outcome: Very keen on the sub-station and most willing to cooperate

Electricity supply was reported to be available most of the time in the day. Power cut only at the time of a breakdown/fault. Also the water supply is good and they have no complaints The women informed about frequent sparks seen generating from the substation due to short circuits etc. especially during rainy/stormy weather. The women had no objections to the construction of substation on the land available in front of their houses since the land already belonged to HVPNL. However, they requested for some open space to be left vacant in front of their houses and the boundary of the sub station for various activities and also since the same can be used as a play area for children. Children went to Karnal to study. It was informed that the children were well aware of the danger of playing near the substation fence and hence stayed away from it.

Outcome: More power is welcome by this development however better safety measures be ensured
