The Municipality of Coimbatore was established in 1866, the city has registered the decadal growth rate of 49.20 % during the period 1971- 1981. This is attributed to the up gradation of Municipality to the status of Corporation in 1981, and it was the third in Tamil Nadu. Now the total extent of Coimbatore Corporation is 257.04 Sq.km. The population of the Corporation as per 2011 Census is 1617711.

Since, land is the basic capital for the establishment of the project, the criteria and basic considerations to select the route for the project and to undertake land acquisition was decided based on the field Inspection done for checking Feasibility of alternative alignment of Pillur III Scheme from Intake at Samayapuram to Pannimadai MST and the present alignment has been finalized.

Study and Methods The main objective of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study is to understand the adverse impact of the project to the population affected by the project implementation and to address the impacts. Also it helps to explore various options and to consider the best and acceptable option which has minimum or no impact. In the SIA process, consultation with major stakeholders and the local farming communities was undertaken.

The project area covers nine revenue villages, seven from Coimbatore north taluk and two from Mattupalayam taluk.

Stakeholder consultations were conducted at two levels, at the first level with the communities and local leaders during the field visits and at the second level meetings with the officials of the Coimbatore corporation, revenue department and TWAD Board to discuss about the project objectives, implementation plan, activities each department will carry out, time line and the outputs.

The project team made several field visits, during the first visit had meetings with the different stakeholders discussed and collected the details about the project, in the first visit conducted the transect walk along the alignment and in the subsequent visits the team members conducted nine FGDs and house hold survey (17% of the total PAPs) and

Draft SIA/ Audit Report Social Impact Assessment study for Pillur Water Supply Project, Coimbatore District also finalized the Project affected persons list in each revenue village in consultation with the officials of revenue and survey departments.

Results of Focus Group Discussions  The main loss to the project affected people is mostly the agricultural land both irrigated and dry. The other properties people may lose are compound walls, bore wells, tree crops such as coconut areca nut, teak trees and a few other species. The other loss is the housing sites located in the lay outs (both approved and non- approved) in some villages.  Many of the project affected people expressed their concern that the alignment is going straight in the middle of the their lands and in the house sites and divides the land into two and are left with narrow strips on both sides, and this will make the lands unsuitable for agriculture and construct of new houses. Therefore requesting the department to acquire the entire land/plot and add in the compensation amount.  The Project Affected People say the compensation is going to be a one time payment for the permanent asset they are going to lose, a source for their livelihood, hence expecting a fair compensation an agreeable amount.  The project affected people expressed their concern about the possible delay in the payment of compensation; they want the payment to be made immediately after the land acquisition.  The amount of land they may lose in some of the small holders is more than 50% of the land they own. Hence, worried about the loss of income they get from the fields. These small holders are demanding the job opportunities created in the project so that the family is not affected by the land acquisition and benefitted by the Job.  There are a few women headed households going to lose their lands they mentioned that none of the family member are educated their only source for income is through agriculture, if the govt decides to take away the land the compensation should be fair and should help to improve their livelihoods.

 Wildlife intrusion particularly elephants and destruction of crops is a big issue in the villages which are located close to the forest boundaries, the farmers are worried that sometimes the new road going to be laid may create an easy access to their fields.

 The local farmers expressed their worries with respect to taking water from the dam for drinking water this will result in decreasing of water storage level; thus may affect the ground water table of the surrounding areas.  They want the road built over the pipelines to be made open for public use.  Some of the project affected farmers said they are experiencing meetings fatigue; many meetings were organized in the past without sharing the right information and arriving any concrete conclusions.

Socio Economic Survey  The survey results show majority of the household heads are males (89.8%) only one tenth (10.2%) are the female household heads.  Constitutional status of the communities surveyed show that more than half (58.5%) of the PAPs are from Backward communities and nearly one fourth (22.0%) belonging to communities from Most backward category, 8.5% are from the two following Scheduled caste and the remaining 11.0% are from other communities.  Educational status of the PAPs as per the survey results, 12.7% of the PAPs are illiterates, the highest number is who studied up to secondary education (27.1%, this is followed by primary education 22.0%, some of the land owners are graduates (11.0%), professional degree holders (9.3%) post graduates (5.15%), and Diploma holders (4.2%) etc.  Primary occupation of the land owners, the survey results reveal that more than half of the lane owners (PAPs) are farmers (61.9%), 11.0% of the land owners are doing business, another 11% are working for private sectors, a small portion of the owners (6.8%) are earning their livelihood through working as daily wage labourers. 5.9% of the owners who are going to loss land is retired people from

the Government and private service. The remaining few categories are in negligible percentage.  Majority (66.9%) are living in pucca houses, most of the old houses are tiled, 17.8% and the remaining 15.3% are living in partially pucca and the remaining area tiled or asbestos roofed houses.  Majority (72.9%) have their own tap, 11.8% are depending on common tap and 11.0% have responded they get from their own tube wells, a small per cent (3.4%) get from the open wells. 89% have responded that they have their own vehicles (it includes different kind of vehicles) and 11.0% depends on public or private transport system.  About landholding details of the PAPs maximum percentage of farmers lose land are marginal holders (42.4%), next is semi medium category (20.3%). More or less the same percentage of farmers from small holders (16.1%) and medium size holder (12.7%) lose their lands, and a small number of PAPs are big farmers (2.9%). Remaining 5.9% are the owners of house sites and they involved in different kinds of occupations.  As per the survey results only less than half of the respondents (43.2%) own livestock (which include, cattle, sheep, goat and poultry) and remaining households own no livestock.  Regarding the annual income of the households of the PAPs, the results reveal that the highest percentage PAPs (19.5%) earns from 3 lakh to 5 lakh, the next in the order families earn is 50 thousand to 75 thousand, 11.0% of the PAPs come under this category, a little lesser percentage of 10.2% is reported by three groups (75 thousands to 1 lakh, 1.5 lakh to 2.0 lakh and above 10 lakh). All remaining groups with different amount of annual income are reported as less than 10%.  Regarding willingness to provide the land for the project the survey results reveal except one PAP all other remaining (99.2%) have responded positive, considering the objective of the project they cannot say no to the government for implementing the project.

 PAPs perception about the impact they face due to the land loss varies, the highest percentage of 36.3% feel their income will come down and will affect the livelihood. Next category 19.5% of PAPs understanding is that simply they will lose their traditional asset. 14.4% worried that the remaining land will be meagre, a narrow strip and become unfit to do farming. Some of the PAPs (10.2%) are unable to form any opinion about the impact due to land loss.  PAPs from the villages located close the source from where the water will be pumped expressed their concern that taking water will reduce the storage and subsequently results in the depletion of the ground water in the surrounding areas.

Based on the outcome of SIA, it is found out that the project involves acquisition of agricultural lands of local farmers and in some areas the house sites. Implementation of this project makes around 477 farmers partially lose their farming lands and total area estimated is 46.02.71 Ha. In the case of house sites it is enumerated 211 owners will lose the land and the area is 3.48.51Ha land. The total amount of land people lose is less than 20 % of the total amount of land and tree crops (productive asset) they owned; hence this project is categorized as S2.

Impacts and mitigation measures

The general impacts have been assessed from field visit observations, FGDs, and the socio economic survey conducted. The possible impacts at various stages of the project such as prior initiation, during implementation and post project period have also been assessed and mitigation measures are suggested.

Land acquisition (a portion of the agricultural field) will be the main activity; a fair compensation will be made for the loss, hence will not create any permanent impact. In the cases of land fragmentation and the owners feel it will be difficult to useful of agriculture, it is expected the government can acquire these narrow pieces and add the compensation. Similarly in the case of house site acquired from the PAPs.

Due to land loss the livelihood of the most vulnerable sections like women headed households, or small holders from vulnerable categories may impacted in a considerable

WAPCOS Limited 1 - 6

Draft SIA/ Audit Report Social Impact Assessment study for Pillur Water Supply Project, Coimbatore District way, members of these most vulnerable families can be considered if any job created in the project.

Construction of road over the pipeline may create easy access to the agricultural fields for the wildlife; this can be mitigated with digging trenches with the support of the forest department.

Public consultation is planned in two places one in each taluk during the second week of April 2020, during the consultation the results of the SIA will be presented to the public and the feedback can be used as constructive inputs to minimize the damage and loss.

The land owners are entitled to legal compensation for land that they will lose as per the “Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013’. The final compensation amount for the land acquisition and structures will be determined by the Competent Authority.

Institutional arrangements and Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM)

The main objective of the institutional arrangement is to ensure quality assurance and safety structures to apply social safeguards. The present institutional arrangements in TWAD for implementation of the Social Safeguards measures in the 9 villages under Pillur Water Supply project has been reviewed and it is felt that the existing arrangements need to be strengthened to meet the requirements of general public and project affected families which includes a social expert. The institutional arrangements for implementation of different project components would be made such that participation of different stakeholder’s particularly primary stakeholders and women are ensured. The project shall be implemented by TWAD and coordinated by Revenue Department, Public Works Department and City Municipal Corporation. All the departments shall report to District Collector, Coimbatore to review the progress of the project at regular intervals and shall provide strategic directions, guidance on policy matters and resolve conflicts, if any.

It has been observed in general during implementation of project vulnerable category like women farmers suffer most. Therefore project implementation unit should ensure that proper and adequate care has taken to minimize adverse impacts on women farmers.

GRM is an essential component of any project administration, particularly if the project involves project affected families and the local communities with diverse socio economic backgrounds and have as the major stakeholder. The GRM will be in place for addressing project related grievances. The GRC will receive and redress grievances and complaints that are formally brought to the GRC in writing by the persons and/or group of persons who have a grievance because of the Program’s adverse impact on him/her and them. The grieved/complainant will have the right to seek legal redress through the judicial system if he/she or they are not satisfied with the decisions of the GRC.

2.3 Profile of Coimbatore Corporation

Coimbatore City is located in Western Tamil Nadu. The Municipality of Coimbatore was established in 1866 according to the Town Improvements Act of 1865 with Sir Robert Stanes, a renowned industrialist as its first Chairman. The city has registered the decadal growth rate of 49.20 % during the period 1971- 1981. This is attributed to the up gradation of Municipality to the status of Corporation in 1981, and it was the third in Tamil Nadu., whereby additional areas were included in its jurisdiction. Coimbatore also known as Kovai, is the second largest city and urban agglomeration in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, after Chennai and the sixteenth largest urban agglomeration of India. Coimbatore is the fourth largest metropolis in South India. It is one of the fastest growing tier-II cities in India and a major textile, industrial, commercial, educational, information technology, healthcare and manufacturing hub of Tamil Nadu well connected with major cities and towns of India by Highways, Railways and Airways and also abroad. Other important industries include software services. It is the capital city in the Kongu Nadu region and is often referred to as the Manchester of South India. The city is located on the banks of the Noyyal River surrounded by the Western Ghats and is administered by the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation. In 2012, the Corporation won the Best Corporation Award in Tamil Nadu. Coimbatore City Corporation has been adjudged the best among 100 corporations selected from across the country by Skoch, a Gurgaon- based independent group dealing with social economic issues. Coimbatore City is now emerging as a major industrial, textile and Information Technology hub of Tamil Nadu. Major National and International Computer companies are planning to start their software parks at Coimbatore in the near future. Thereby job opportunities and population are expected to increase manifold. In 1866, Coimbatore was constituted as a Municipal town with an area of 10.88Sq.Km. Coimbatore Corporation was upgraded from special grade Municipality to Corporation in the year of 1981 spreading over an area of 105.60 Sq.Km. Now the Corporation area has been extended as per the Tamilnadu Government order with the inclusion of local bodies adjacent to Coimbatore. The extended Corporation area is effective from 2011.

2.5 Objective of the project

The objective of this assignment is to implement the proposed Water Supply Scheme to achieve effective drawal, treatment and conveyance of water to the upgraded Storage and Distribution System in the Corporation and provide a percapita supply of 135 LPCD potable water supply as required for corporation Status.

2.6 Rationale of the study

It has been alleged that development projects emphasize only on the productive issues and ignore or neglect justice issues. Any policy towards displacement and resettlement should, therefore, take into consideration as well the “social cost” and “human costs”

WAPCOS Limited 2 - 4

Draft SIA/ Audit Report Social Impact Assessment study for Pillur Water Supply Project, Coimbatore District rather than confining to mere payment of compensation. That the principles of justice and equality should be equally made applicable more so in the case of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes particularly, is already established by law and the constitution. Taking the points into consideration, RFCTLARR Act 2013 mandates to conduct Social Impact Assessment study prior to acquisition of land for any public purpose. The present SIA is undertaken for the purpose of land acquisition required for Pillur Water Supply project wherein the alignment passes through 9 villages under two Tehsil of Coimbatore district to meet the requirements of the said Act.

2.7.6 Clear Water Main The Clear water main from the Water Treatment Plant upto Master Storage Tank proposed at Pannimadai in the outskirts of Coimbatore Corporation will be of 1829 mm, 17.5 mm thickness MS pipes of 480m, and 1829 mm, 14.2 mm thickness MS pipes of 16480 m. Total Length of Clear water main is 16.960 Km. Considering the operation and maintenance, construction of valve pits and thrust blocks of large sizes it is not feasible to lay pipes of 1829 mm size in the existing public roads. Hence it is proposed to acquire/alienate land of 15 m wide for the entire 16.90 Km length to lay the clear water pipelines and for service road along the proposed alignment. The proposed Clear Water main from Water Treatment Plant to Master Storage Tank, i.e. LS 0 m to LS 16960 m, the pipeline will be laid through the proposed tunnel (900 m length) to cross the Kattan Hills at distance of 1160m from WTP. From the Kattan Hills the alignment is proposed parallel to the HT Power Transmission line upto Kathirnaickenpalayam Village. From Kathirnaickenpalayam it proposed to lay the pipeline along Lakshmi Nagar upto the proposed Master Storage Tank at LS 16960 m in Pannimadai.

2.7.7 Tunnel for Clear Water Pipeline The Clear water Main has to cross the Kattan Hills. It is proposed to lay the pipe line through a tunnel to be constructed 30 m from the existing Clear water gravity Tunnel of Pillur I Scheme. The tunnel will be of 0.9 Km length. The width of the tunnel has been arrived as 8 m to lay the proposed Clear water Main of 1829 mm MS pipes and the existing Clear water Main of 1500 mm MS pipes of the Dedicated WSS to Coimbatore Corporation which will be delinked from the existing tunnel. Necessary space in the tunnel for laying additional pipes in future has been proposed and the size and levels have been finalized during the meeting held at Coimbatore Corporation with the Corporation Officials and the Consultants for the tunnel work. The entry and exit levels of the proposed tunnel will be kept the same as that of the existing tunnel to ensure the original hydraulic gradient in existing pipe line of the Dedicated WSS beyond the tunnel. Construction of Tunnel will be based on DBOOT system and the cost of the same is included in DPR.

CHAPTER 3 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

3.1 Objective of Social Impact Assessment Study The main objective of the Social Impact Assessment study is to understand the adverse impact of the project to the population affected by the project implementation and to address the impacts. Also it helps to explore various options and to consider the best and acceptable option which has minimum or no impact. Following are the objectives of the study:  To conduct socio economic, cultural and institutional analysis of the communities in the project area and also the major social problems related to the project.  Avoiding or minimizing the loss due to the interventions for creating the pipe lines for drinking water supply to Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation.  Ensuring appropriate compensation for the Project Affected Persons (PAP)/Project Affected Families (PAF) irrespective of legal status with a view to provide suitable options that enable the affected people to improve or at least restore their standard of living in the post impact period.  Protecting marginalized and vulnerable groups, including the economically and socially disadvantaged (vulnerable PAF) through additional support.

The assessment helps to find out how the proposed pipe line project would affect the lives of the communities, residential structures, livelihoods, common properties, religious structures, infra-structure facilities etc. It would also help to look for alternative options and take the right decisions in terms of social sustainability; hence it is a valuable tool in the decision-making process.

The region is dominated by communities from backward and most backward classes. Majority of the farmers are small and marginal holders. Farmer use open well and bore wells for irrigation, cultivate for two seasons minimum and multi crops, cash crops like coconut, areca nut, banana and many vegetable and floriculture crops. The income from the dry land farming is not much; mainly they cultivate sorghum and use it as cattle feed. Agriculture in the region is mainly depending on monsoon rainfall. Livestock management particularly dairy provides additional income to the rural families. Although newly married couple forming nuclear families is increasing at present still joint family system is also in practice, particularly families in rural areas depending on farming for their livelihood.

Coimbatore is one of the most industrialized cities with small, medium and large scale industries, due to fast urbanization people from the villages are daily community to the city to work in the private sector. This gradually reduces the number f people depending on agriculture. The other factor due to rapid urbanization and the development of sub urban areas is the conversion of agricultural land in to house sites.

3.5 Stakeholder Analysis Stakeholder Analysis is generally used to identify the key actors and to assess their knowledge, experiences, interests, partnerships and contributions for the project etc. This allows policymakers and managers to interact more effectively with the identified key stakeholders and to increase the support for specific intervention, also to find out and act to prevent potential misunderstandings and conflicts. Information on stakeholders’ interests, and their capacity to oppose, assessment about their advantages, would help to decide how best to accommodate them. Stakeholder analysis would reveal the capacities of different stakeholders to participate in (and benefit from) the proposed development activity, and the complexity of organizational relationships.

Results of FGDs

 Considering the objective of the project, viz. supply of drinking water to the residents of Coimbatore city, the project affected people are not negative to give the lands for the project to lay pipe line and construct the required structures.

 The land owners who are going to lose their lands in the villages are mixed categories of farmers, small and marginal, medium and a few big farmers belonging to different communities.  The project affected people and some of the village leaders informed the SIA team that apart from the few meetings organized by the departments there has been no official NEWS and official communications regarding the proposed project and land acquisition. They opined that they should be properly informed about the objectives and other details of the project.

 The losses to the project affected people are mostly the agricultural land both irrigated and dry; some of them lose bore wells meant for irrigation. The crops grown in the irrigated fields are many vegetable and floricultural crops and fruit crops like banana. In the dry land they grow mostly sorghum and use it as feed for the livestock.  The other property people may lose are the house constructed (one or two), cattle shed, compound walls, tree crops such as coconut areca nut, teak trees and a few other species. Also the housing sites located in the lay outs (both approved and non approved) located in some villages.  Many of the project affected people expressed their concern that the alignment is going straight in the middle of the their land and divides the land into two and are left with narrow strips on both sides, this will make plowing, irrigating the crops difficult, hence requested to change the alignment to one side of the field and leave the rest of the land for agriculture. In few other cases where the alignment goes through the land and leaves a very narrow strip as remaining land, which cannot be used to do any farming, the owners of the land are requested to look in

Draft SIA/ Audit Report Social Impact Assessment study for Pillur Water Supply Project, Coimbatore District

to the possibility of acquiring this narrow strip of land and add the compensation amount.  Similar to fragmentation of agricultural land, the alignment divides some of the house sites in the layouts and leave small area of land on both sides of the alignment– in such cases the owners feel these sites cannot be used for construction of the house and therefore requesting the department to acquire the entire plot and provide a fair compensation as per the market value or provide an alternative site for construction of a new house.  Most of them expressed their serious concern about a fair compensation to the land, trees, standing crops and other structures they are going to lose. The project affected people say the compensation is going to be a onetime payment for the permanent asset they are going to lose, a source for their livelihood, hence expecting a fair compensation an agreeable amount.  The project affected people expressed their views regarding the transparency in compensation by the department viz. the method used for fixing the rate, how the rate is calculated and fixed for different properties like farm land, crops, trees and sheds and other structures.  The project affected people expressed their concern about the possible delay in the payment of compensation; they also mentioned about some of the earlier cases in Coimbatore district and other places the prolonged delay in making payments for farmers. They want the payment to be made immediately after the land acquisition. It was suggested to develop a method for the payment on a mutually agreeable terms and conditions.  Small and marginal holders expressed their concern that losing nearly one third of the land going to make them extremely vulnerable to manage their livelihood, hence expecting a better deal, which could help them to manage by investing the amount in some other income generation activities.  The amount of land they may lose in some of the small holders is more than 50% of the land they own. Hence, worried about the loss of income they get from the fields. These small holders are demanding whether the govt can provide any job

Draft SIA/ Audit Report Social Impact Assessment study for Pillur Water Supply Project, Coimbatore District

opportunities created in the project so that the family is not affected by the land acquisition and benefitted by the Job. The other option suggested is the vacant government land located adjacent to the village can be given to the farmers as compensation or on long term lease basis minimum for 20 years lease.  A few of the project affected farmers who are small and marginal holders feel taking land for the project would affect their livelihood, certain area of their land have been already affected due to the erection of high tension towers by TNEB. Hence requested to explore and find an alternative lay out.  The land going to be acquired are fertile lands and some of them are with perennial standing crops like herbs and medicinal plants, they may face a big lose in their annual income, hence expecting to provide compensation for such crops.  There are a few women headed households going to lose their lands they mentioned that none of the family member are educated their only source for income is through agriculture, if the govt decides to take away the land the compensation should be fair and should help to improve their livelihoods.

 The local farmers expressed their worries with respect to taking water from the dam for drinking water this will result in decreasing of water storage level; thus may affect the ground water table of the surrounding areas.  Wildlife intrusion particularly elephants and destruction of crops is a big issue in the villages which are located close to the forest boundaries, the farmers are worried that sometimes the new road going to be laid may create an easy access to the agricultural fields for the wild life and increase the problem.  The project affected farmers demand the compensation for fencing on both side of the new road going to be laid to protect the crops. They want the expenditure of the same can be added in the compensation package.  They want the road built over the pipelines to be made open for public use.  Some of the project affected farmers said there is experiencing meetings fatigue, many meetings were organized in the past without sharing the right information and arriving any concrete conclusions.

PAPs from the villages located close the source from where the water will be pumped expressed their concern that taking water will reduce the storage and subsequently results in the depletion of the ground water in the surrounding areas.

3.9. Social Screening and Categorization Socio sustainability is basic to ensure the achievement of any development result and subsequent impact. In the process of implementation it needs to be ensured about the positive results of the project and also the adverse and irreversible social risks, and impacts are avoided, minimized and mitigated.

Activities with high risks may result in significant adverse impact on the existing socio economic systems; they may raise serious concerns among the target communities particularly the project affected people.

The screening process involves the following steps:  Identify the potential risks and their significance  Decide the project risk category like low, moderate and high  Determine the level of social assessment and management required to address the potential risks

In order to facilitate proper identification of potential social risks and mitigate and manage potential impacts, sub-projects to be financed under the project will be placed into one of the three categories given below. The categories defined on the extent, scale and magnitude and duration of expected potential negative results and adverse impacts.

The enumeration is done jointly by the revenue and survey department covering the entire length of alignment, areas of head work and treatment plant. As per the revenue records the entire land area going to be acquired is under dry land category. But in some portion of the area is used for irrigated agriculture using the water from bore wells and open wells. The total number of PAPs enumerated is 688. Thekkampatti and Marudur the two revenue villages come under Mettupalayam taluk from where more area of land will be acquired. Nanjundapuram and Narashimanajckenpalayam are the other two villages where least number of farmers are affected.

The loss of land may not create much negative impact over the income and livelihood of the medium and big holders; they are in a position to manage their income and livelihoods with the remaining land they own. Their concerns are primarily that their lands will be fragmented and sometimes will have practical difficulty to do farming in some of the land area. But small and marginal holders who loss considerable amount land which they use for cultivating cash crops or fodder crops for their cattle are concerned about the loss of land which may affect their annual income and livelihood. They are expecting a fair compensation which will help them to invest in some other suitable income generation activities and compensate the income loss.

Regarding the loss of house sites land, those owners who are residing somewhere else and invested here are not having much issue except a fair compensation for the land loss, but some of the owners told that they bought the land to build a new house and settle here later and they are expecting to get the compensation amount which can help them to buy another house site in the same area or the govt can provide another house site as compensation instead of giving money.

Regarding the loss of tree crops, 94 families will lose the tree crops and other trees located in the land, and the total number tree enumerated is 2672, the loss coconut trees will be maximum 936 followed by teak 292, Neem 218, Areca nut 167 the other species are in negligible numbers. Farmers of Thekkampatty and Gudalur south will lose more number of trees; Marudur and Naikenpalam are the other two villages where the farmers will lose considerable number of trees.

Coconut and Areca nut are the two important tree crops which fetch them good income to the families, and felling of the trees will affect the income they get from these trees, about the other trees, farmers told that these trees are like a reserve whenever they need urgent money they sell the trees and manage the situation, now due to the project they lose that option.

It is reported in some of the fields with standing perennial crops located within the boundaries of the alignment, destruction of the crops is a loss to the farmers, and hence they expect compensation to the loss.

3.12 Public consultation and Disclosure Stakeholder involvement in the form of public consultation and disclosure is defined as the two-way communication between the project team and the targeted and affected groups. The main objective of such stakeholders’ participation is primarily to promote public understanding and acceptance of the proposed developmental activity or a project by minimizing potential perceived environmental impacts through education and open discussion. In return, public feedback can be used as constructive input and minimize the damage, loss and to promote alternatives in the project design.

3.13 Compensation and settlement for PAPs The need for compensation arises when the land which is acquired is involuntary and/or loss of livelihood, sources of income and access to common properties/resources on which people depend for economic, social and cultural needs irrespective of their legal

If the lands are privately owned, the land owners are entitled to legal compensation for land that they will lose as per the “Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013’.

The clauses in the act provide compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement to the affected persons. The law makes sure that:  The Project Affected Persons get fair compensation when their land is taken away for the project  Transparency is ensured in the land acquisition process and arriving the consensus  Local self-government including the gram sabhas are consulted in the process of land acquisition  Ensures adequate provisions for the improving the livelihoods and rehabilitation of the Projected Affected Persons.

The following are the clauses which deal about the determining the market value of the land, calculation of compensation and determination of the award for the land owners.

 Clause 26 of act provides the criteria need to be considered in assessing and determining the market value of land  Clause 27 provides the details about how to calculate the total amount of compensation to be paid to the land owner  Clause 28 provides the details about the parameters to be considered in determination of the award

As per the alignment plan and enumeration made the total area of private land need to be acquired for the project implementation is 50.51.22 Ha from 688 families of various socio economic backgrounds. Around 2692 trees will be removed from the lands of 94 land owners.

The compensation will be made based on the consent award (acquisition through mutual negotiation) would be preferred for land acquisition.

Some of them are not the local residents; they are absentee farmers and house plot owners from outside. A few women farmers also participated in the meeting.  The project affected people and some of the other village leaders assembled informed that there has been no official NEWS and official communications regarding the proposed project and land acquisition. They opined that they should be properly informed about the objectives and other details of the project.  The people expressed that already a few other water supply scheme are in operation and few more schemes have been formulated from Bhavani River which will reduce the local storage of water hence will result in the depletion of Ground Water Table in the surrounding area. The excess take-off of water from the river will also slowly lead water scarcity in the downstream areas.  The project affected people feel that no information is provided about the alignment design and reliability of the project. They informed that the planting of boundary stones in the field was carried out without the permission from the land owners.  The project affected people have not been served with notices regarding the land acquisition with survey numbers and have no data with respect to the amount of

land (in figures) that is proposed to be acquired under the project. Therefore demanded to circulate the GO’s to PAPs.  One of the owners of Maruthi Nagar, approved layout expressed his concern that the pipeline is passing through his plot purchased for construction of house. As the proposed pipeline is passing the plot the remaining land upon acquiring the required land cannot be used for construction of the house and therefore it was requested to acquire the entire plot and provide a fair compensation as per the market value or provide an alternative site for construction of the house.  Few of the projects affected small and marginal holders informed that the only source of income is through agriculture. If the land is acquired by the government is will affect daily livelihood. Hence, expecting a fair compensation.  Some of the participants expressed their concern that the Bhavani water in non- rainy season is just sufficient to meet Metupalayam domestic and agriculture needs then sometimes this next project to carry water to Coimbatore will deprive their water need.  The project affected people and other people expressed their fear that due to take- off of the river water the ground water table may get depleted and as most of the agriculture depends on water the yield will be affected.  One of the women project affected person envisaged that down the line by 10 years their shall be no water for the agriculture as more and more schemes are formulated from Bhavani River and hence, it will be necessary to migrate to city for making a living.  The project affected people remarked that the project benefits many people of Coimbatore Corporation. But compensation need to be paid is only a small number compared to the number of project beneficiaries, therefore the govt can be liberal in fixing the compensation to the land going to be acquired.  The project affected people expressed their fear that in few projects where land has been acquired no compensation is paid till now, hence project affected people have demanded that the amount finalized for compensation is to be paid before the registration.

Focus Group Discussion 2 Village name : Thottathasanur (North) Revenue village: Thekkampatty Taluk : Mettupalayam Venue : Farmer’s house Date : 22.02.20 Major points discussed and concerns of the participants:  Farmers told that the discussion about the project since 2013 hence now they doubt the credibility of the project.  Some of them told that they were not informed when the boundaries were marked.  Farmers told they are emotionally attached to their lands if they lose the land with such value they need to be compensated with a fair amount which will meet their satisfaction.  Some of the farmers who are small and marginal holders in the group feel taking land for laying of pipeline would affect their livelihood, certain portion of their land have been already affected due to TNEB towers. Hence requested to find an alternative lay out. These farmers may lose nearly half of the land they owned.  Another reason why the people don’t want this project it my increase the chances of wildlife intrusion from the reserve forests of Vellimalai and Kannuvai malai – the roan laid will be an easy route for the wild life to reach their farmers. Govt should take the responsibility and provide compensation if the standing crop is lost.  Depletion of ground water will happen if water in the Pillur dam is taken regularly during the summer months when there is not enough water in the dam. This point was clarified by the team that water will not be taken if the level is below certain point as indicated in the proposal.  People fear that the Pillur pipeline project will lead to fragmentation of land, some cases this may create a narrow piece of land on side or either sides of the pipe line, and the will not be suitable to do farming. They are doubtful whether they will be allowed to take water from the bore well from one side to the other side of the lay out.

 The fragmentation due to the project may affect the land area and become unfit for cultivation, in such cases, if it is very narrow piece, the govt can take the narrow piece also or pay compensation to the area.  No final decisions are arrived in all previous meetings, the department officials were also not very clear about the impacts and the compensation can be made. Hence, the suggestion from the farmers is that when they are called for the next meeting the officials should come with concrete proposals which can be negotiated and finalized with the affected farmers.  The people want the road that would be laid over the pile lines should be open for villagers use.  The land that would be fragmented into two parts, this will create problem particularly for taking water from one side to the other side.  Farmers suspect that they may not get the compensation amount immediately after the land is acquired, hence skeptic about the disbursement of the amount to the farmers by the department immediately, therefore insisting that the department should promise and pay the amount without any delay and a methodology need to be worked out for the payment on mutually agreeable terms and conditions.
