For Lucknow -Ayodhya section of NH-28, preliminary social screening survey was carried out to assess the nossible imnact of the proiect. This survey was followed by a detailed 100 nercent cenisu survey based on the door-to door interview basis of families that were being directly affected (within POW) by the broadningc of the road section. The cencsu curvfey was initiated on 21.8.2003 a.n.d the socio-economic survey was carried out on 25 percent basis. For the Gorakhpur Bypass similar approach was adopted wherein 100 percent census survey was executed and 25 percent socio-econom0ic survey was IICU --L-- asses te iamiiy details; occupation (agriculture, share cropper, business, service), occupational skills, literacy level, economic status and otner socio-economic information of the family for determnination of the entitiement framework of the project affected persons. 1.4 WORLD BANK GUIDELINES & R&R POLICY FRAMEWORK The population distribution and social impact scenario of the nroiect indicate that the OP 4. 12 would be applicable to this project.
