Introduction Project Background:
ADB Assisted North Karnataka Urban Investment Program (NKUSIP) is envisaged to facilitate economic growth in 25 selected towns of North Karnataka and bring about urban development by means of equitable distribution of urban services in an environmentally sound and operationally sustainable manner. Tranche II improvements focus on rehabilitation and construction of water supply, sewerage, and urban drainage infrastructure as well as slum improvements and procurement of firefighting and emergency services equipment. Gokak Sub-Projects include providing underground drainage system. The Investment Program is designed to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts.
Need of the Sub-Project:
The North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program will finance investment in the sectors of sewerage and sanitation. It will also have a poverty alleviation and non-municipal infrastructure component.
The overall development goal of the NKUSIP is to facilitate economic growth in the towns of North Karnataka and bring about urban development through equitable distribution of urban basic services to the citizens, which are environmentally sound and operationally sustainable. The development purpose is designed to assist Urban Local Body (ULB) to “promote good urban management, by developing and expanding urban infrastructure that increases economic opportunities and reduces vulnerability to environmental degradation and urban poverty”.
The Investment Program is designed to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts. Sub projects involving construction of sewerage treatment plant are planned that envisage land acquisition in some towns, which is specific town. However, the land acquisition process is facilitated in such a method that the negative impacts are avoided or minimized through careful sub project sitting and alignment. The resettlement and rehabilitation plans are prepared for providing compensation for land owners and rehabilitating them that cater to sustainable development of the towns.

Public Consultations 1)Private land procurement through Direct Purchase for Construction of STP Regular consultations were held with the land owner on the process of purchase and the compensation to be paid for the affected land parcel.

Thus this process prevented any delay in the execution of the sub project on account of unavailability of land. The land owner was satisfied with the compensation amount and encountered no delay in the receipt of payment as is generally observed in land acquisition cases. Hence this process helped all the stakeholders in achieving their desired objectives.
