1. INTRODUCTION & METHODOLOGY

A detailed project report on riverfront revitalization is being prepared to enhance the potential of Patna’s river edge infrastructure and future decade. This is an unprecedented opportunity to create new public realm facing towards the river that is strongly connected to the city’s urban fabric. The report outlines a set of urban strategies that form the larger civic vision to the water front in the city and illustrates the detail proposal in Ghat precincts.

Our attempt has been to provide proposal that works collaboratively with Architecture and Engineering, Urban design and Ecology and Landscape Design. A total of 2.4km long promenade: Ganges Walk is proposed along with Ghat facilities on 28 locations (201 under this proposal) and 4socio-cultural buildings including two Eco-Centers that would engage the public in creating awareness about the river and the initiatives to improve the ecology of the river.The study spanned over alength of 7km of the water front starting at Collectorate Ghat and down the river till Ganga Setu and beyond upto Naujar Ghat. The artist view is shown in figure: 1

The history of Patna spans three millennia and has the distinction of being associated with two most ancient religions of the world, namely, Buddhism and Jainism. The state has seen the rise and fall of mighty empires of the Mauryas and the Guptas. The Patna was originally known as Patliputra in the Mauryan empire. From this city the famed emperor Chandragupta ruled a vast empire from Bay of Bengal to Afghanistan.

This state has also produced several eminent world class scholars namely:

• Aryabhatt-Famous mathematician and astronomers • Chanakya-Master of State Craft and Guru of Chandragupta Maurya

It is believed that Patliputra was among the largest cities of the world between 300 and 195B.C

The mighty river Ganges is an intrinsic part of life of Patna. This being an historical city the settlements started right after river’s bank edge and consequently the river’s edge remain unattended. The great potential of river front development eluded the people of Patna. Now with this decision of Bihar Govt. to develop the Ganga riverfront, a great opportunity for Urban transformation of city has emerged. The benefits of this river front development are immense. A few salient benefits are specified below.

The spread of Patna along river Ganga The spread of Patna city in and around Gandhi Maidan

1.1 Environmental awareness:

It has potential to create environmental awareness for cleanliness of river. River waterfront shave potential to become the recreational and cultural hubs of city and have emerged as lively urban face. This can transform the water front areas from marginal use and connect to the mainstream, public activity etc. Thus it will improve the city life and create more awareness for environmental awareness of river and also boost tourism.

River water front development would greatly enhance ecological awareness and thus prevent disposal of untreated sewage into the river, and also prevent solid waste dumping on the river banks.

1.2 Celebration of religious festivals:

The famous Chhat Puja of Eastern India is celebrated in Patna with great gaiety on river Ganga’sbanks. More than five lakhs devotees offer Puja to Sun God on the occasion of Chhat Puja in the month of October. On this occasion lakhs of people trek to Ganges and after holy dip in the Ganges worship Sun God.

Recently Ganga Aarti has started at 2 nos. of Ghats, namely Gandhi Ghat and Bhadra Ghat. The Tourism Department is conducting these on weekly basis and already has emerged an attractive weekly event of city. Such programs can create enormous awareness for cleanliness of river Ganges.

1.3 Upgradation of Ghats acutely needed:

At present the existing facilities at the ghats are quite poor. Practically there is no change room or toilet facility in the ghats. The ghats are neither big enough to accommodate thousands of Devotees during Chhat festival. There is hardly any ghat where Visitors to Patna can go for an enjoyable glimpse of river Ganges. Now the Govt. has to take up only 4 nos. ghats for upgradation i.e.

P a g e | 10

Project : Social Impact Assessment Study for proposed river front development of 20 Ghats along river Ganga in Patna, Bihar

SIA

• Collectorate Ghat • Mahendru Ghat • Kali Ghat • Patnacollege Ghat

Now, in this proposal a further 20 new ghats are proposed to be upgraded. In addition Promenades, 6mtrs wide, proposed to connect few ghats together.

1.4 Ghats Landscaping:

At present the reis virtually very little landscaping along the river edges. In this Project it is proposed to design and provide proper landscaping along the river edges. Also the rear no city level parks and thus 3 nos. city level parks are being proposed.

Considering these reasons Govt. of Bihar has decided to take up Ganga river front development project.

• It would also be very pertinent to mention that at present the riverfront development/ management report has been worked upon from Collectorate Ghat only. There as on is that till last year Ganges course had swerved away from Patna City and rejoined at Collectorate ghat only. Form here the river again runs along the city river banks. • Similarly the development of Promenades would create lively open space for the densely populated urban areas of Patna. In this process the public opinion will be cleared to prevent pollution of river and also act as watch dog over functioning of the sewerage system/STPs etc. The citizen of the city will ensure that only treated effluent is discharged in to the river.

1.5 Promenades:

Promenades help in preventing disposal of solid waste into the river or on the bank as it will act as a sort of barrier. The Promenades is also likely to check encroachment on river banks, which are responsible for waste disposal directly into the river. This is going to substantially improve river water quality.

It is also proposed to construct two Socio-Cultural centres near Collectorate Ghat and Bhadra Ghat. These centres will provide alternative place to pilgrims and local people for undertaking social activities and rituals, which would otherwise be taking place on the Ghats and thus are likely to reduce load of waste disposal into the river water.

1.6 Additional Benefit:

‘Chaht Festival’ is the most important festival of Bihar. Lakhs of people congregate on bank of river Ganga for taking a dip and also undertake other religious rituals. The celebration of Chhat festival would become much more comfortable for these Devotees by construction of walkway and the socio- cultural centers.

This will also help in developing tourist attraction as Ganga Arati can be organized on regular basis at 2 – 3 ghats as is done in other religious cities like Varanasi, Haridwar etc. This will also help develop ecological awareness to prevent the pollution of the river.

The Promenades will provide an alternative passage for people to travel from one ghat to the other directly without getting on to the main road. This will greatly reduce traffic on main road and reduce

P a g e | 11

Project : Social Impact Assessment Study for proposed river front development of 20 Ghats along river Ganga in Patna, Bihar

SIA

misery of people in traffic, particularly during festival times. The Promenades will reduce the distance to be travelled and time required for going from one ghat to the other substantially. The Promenades will also provide a panoramic view of the river banks and ghats to the visitors.

1.7 Need for riverfront development:

Development of River front has emerged as lively Urban Core of cities - their socio-cultural, and recreation centers. Patna is also trying to improve the waterfront use from marginal and neglect into the mainstream of public life. Today everyone recognizes the value of waterfronts for recreation and ecological reasons. Projects for improvement of river water quality by preventing disposal of sewage directly into the river by collection of sewage and its treatment before disposal into water body are being prepared separately. Similarly project for collection of solid waste, segregation, transportation and disposal in Sanitary Land Fill/compost Plant is also under preparation which will prevent solid waste disposal in river directly. All these efforts together are likely to improve the quality of River Ganga water substantially.

The Promenades along the River Ganges will inculcate a sense of veneration towards Ganga River. Thus the Citizens of Patna will appreciate as to how important river Ganga is for the city and environment.

1.8 Proposed Developments:

The proposed Patna river front development project would involve the following projects:

• Development of 20ghats (from Anta Ghat to Naujar ghat including change room) • Promenades including kiosks (connecting some of the ghats together) • Community cum cultural centres • Landscape work in the precinct zones • City level parks • Improvement of approach roads to the precincts

1.11 Need for Social Impact Assessment

The loss of private assets resulting in loss of income and displacement has made social impact assessment an important input into the project design while initiating and implementing developmental interventions. An understanding of the issues related to social, economic and cultural factors of the affected people is critical in the formulation of an appropriate rehabilitation plan. A detailed social impact assessment (SIA) therefore was carried out incorporating social analyses and participatory processes into project design and implementation to make it responsive to social development concerns. SIA also helped in enhancing the project benefits to poor and vulnerable people while minimizing or mitigating concerns, risks and adverse impacts. Further as the project implementation entails a large number other social issues such as influx of labour during construction and others, a systematic assessment provided the basis to prepare a Social Management Plan.

1.12 Objectives of the Study

The main objective of the study is to ensure that the project addresses the adverse impacts on the livelihood of the people and that nobody is left worse off after implementing RAP and those affected

SIA

have access to project benefits, both during project construction as well as operation. Specifically, the objectives of the study are:

• To carry out a socio-economic, cultural and political/institutional analysis to identify the project stakeholders and social issues associated with the project; • To assess the extent of asset loss and undertake the census of potential project affected people; • To develop a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) in consultation with the affected people and project authorities; • To identify likely occurrence of HIV/AIDS resulting from the influx of outside labourers and others and develop a strategy to reduce their incidence; and • To develop a consultation framework for participatory planning and implementation of proposed mitigation plan.

1.13 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study began with the identification of social issues and stakeholders and communities, including socially and economically disadvantaged communities. The focus of SIA was on identifying local population likely to be affected by the project either directly or indirectly and undertake census survey. The scope of the study in particular included the following:

• Identifying key social issues associated with the proposed project and specifies the project’s social development outcomes; • Assessing potential social and economic impacts both during the construction phase and in the operation phase; • Reviewing policies, regulations and other provisions that related to resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected people and other social issues; • Social screening of various project components and likely impacts in terms of land taking (loss of houses, livelihood, etc.), and resultant involuntary resettlement and provide inputs (in terms of magnitude of impacts and likely costs for mitigation) in preparing appropriate mitigation plans; • Screen the social development issues in the project area and its vicinity and design the social services that may be provided by the project in order to improve the quality of life and achieve the projects economic and social goals; • Update the profile of the population and available infrastructure facilities for services in the project affected area; • Based on the assessment of potential social and economic impacts establish criteria that will assist in the formulation of strategies; to the extent possible maximize project benefits to the local population and minimize adverse impacts of the project interventions on the affected communities; • Inform, consult and carry out dialogues with the project stakeholders on matters relating to project design, objectives, and implementation and provide specific recommendations to avoid/minimize high social risks; • Screen the social development issues in the project area and its vicinity and accordingly design the social services that my have to be provided by the project in order to improve the quality of life; • Identify likely loss of community assets (e.g. school, community assets) including the religious structures and common property resources (e.g. forest, grazing land) the impacts of their loss on the local population; • Assess the impact of influx of construction workers and others (both during civil works and operation of the project) on the incidence of HIV/AIDS and other diseases and develop a strategy to control them;

2. RESETTLEMENT POLICY & LEGAL FRAMEWORK

This Resettlement Plan document describes the principles and approach to be followed in minimizing and mitigating negative social and economic impacts by the projects. The guidelines are prepared for addressing the issues limited to the project area along the ghatsfor resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs. The resettlement policy for this project has been prepared in accordance with National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy (2007). Land Acquisition Act 1894 with State Amendments was also referred to finalize the entitlement framework for the Project Affected Persons (PAPs).Broad elements and features of these policies have been studied their broad principles are given below:

2.1 National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Framework

This Policy is an improved version of National Resettlement & Rehabilitation Policy, 2003. Its preamble emphasizes on resettlement and rehabilitation issues due to development projects. The policy aims to minimize displacement and other negative impacts originating due to any kind of projects. In case of large scale involuntary resettlement, the policy makes it mandatory to conduct SIA and compensate the affected population with adequate measures.

The new policy and the associated legislative measures aim at striking a balance between the need for land for developmental activities and, at the same time, protecting the interests of the land owners, and others, such as the tenants, the landless, the agricultural and non-agricultural laborers, artisans, and others whose livelihood depends on the land involved.

2.2 Resettlement Framework

Thus, a project-specific resettlement framework has been prepared in accordance with the National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy 2007. It stipulates eligibility and provisions for all types of losses (land, crops/ trees, structures, business/ employment and workdays/ wages). Since land-for- land may not be a feasible option, the APs will be compensated as per the applicable policies. The Competent Authority according to the NH Act, 1956, will compensate the affected families. For lost assets the APs will also receive additional assistance such as shifting allowance, compensation for loss of workdays/ income due to dislocation. The basic feature of this policy framework is as follows:

• Assistance to weaker section and vulnerable groups and other asset support given to PAPs, • Loss of diminished livelihood support given to adult individuals, • Indirect group oriented impacts in the vicinity of the road corridor.

Other applicable acts and rules mostly related to the construction activities are given below:

2.2.1 Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970

Engagement of labour and basic facility to be provided and labour license to be obtained

This act will be applicable for engagement of labour.

2.2.2 Minimum Wages Act, 1948

The employer is supposed to pay not less than the minimum wages fixed by appropriate government as per provisions of the act.

This act will be applicable for engagement of labour.

P a g e | 24

SIA

2.2.3 The building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1996 ad the Cess Act of 1996

All the establishments who carry on any building or other construction work employ 10 or more workers are covered under this Act; the employer of the establishment is required to provide safety measures at the building or construction work and other welfare measures, such as canteens, first-aid facilities, ambulance, housing accommodation for workers near the workplace etc.)

This act will be applicable for engagement of labour.

2.2.4 Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 2000

Whereas it is expedient to prohibit engagement of child in factory, mining and similar other risky work and to make necessary provision for health. Child’s safety and services and facilities while engaging them in other work.

This act will be applicable to make sure not to engage any child labour.

2.3 ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

2.3.1 National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA)

The NGRBA is a planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating body of the centre and the states. The objective of the NGRBA is to ensure effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the river Ganga by adopting a river basin approach for comprehensive planning and management.

The NGRBA program will be a multi-disciplinary initiative involving multiple dimensions of Ganga clean-up and conservation, and therefore will span across many sectors, including but not limited to social, environment, urban development, water resources, agriculture, industries, and energy.

Program planning and implementation would therefore require working across ministerial/state/departmental boundaries and also across levels of government: central, state and local.

The NGRBA is the nodal level of the Ministry of Environment and Forests for implementing the project. The administrative and technical support to the NGRBA shall be provided by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), which shall be the nodal Ministry. Based on extensive consultations with the stakeholders, an improved institutional structure has been planned for effective and expeditious decision making and implementation of NGRBAs mandate. This consists of:

• Policy making Apex Council headed by the Prime Minister; • Standing Committee under Finance Minister to regularly oversee implementation; • Empowered Steering Committee to facilitate coordination with the Central and the State Government departments, and prioritize and sanction projects on a fast track basis; • A Mission Director with a core team of professionals to be responsible for implementing the work programme of the Authority and to perform its day-today operations; • State River Conservation Authorities under the Chief Ministers to coordinate and implement river conservation activities at the state level; and • Implementation of projects through the states and urban local bodies. Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) will be set up wherever feasible.

The institutional arrangement made along with the NGRBA include that the five NGRBA state (Uttarakhand, Uttarpradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal) have notified the State Ganga River

7 World Bank OP The project entails land acquisition though, at a Applicable to all 4.12 – Involuntary low scale for widening, realignments, junction sub-projects. Resettlement improvements, bypasses etc. It would also adversely affect structures used for various purposes, livelihood of people (mainly earning their livelihood by means of petty shops and providing various services). Many of them have been operating from the government land. Thus both title holders and non-title holders alike would be affected as a consequence of the project.

8 The Right to The Act provides for setting out the practical Applicable Information Act, regime of right to information for citizens to 2005 secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

2.5 Comparative Analysis of Applicable Policy Both the National Policy and the World Bank guidelines on rehabilitation and resettlement aim to see that involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized, wherever feasible, exploring all viable alternative project designs, and where displacement is unavoidable, people losing assets, livelihood or other resources shall be assisted in improving or at a minimum regaining their former status of living at no cost to themselves.

Similarly, National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy 2007 recognize the need for rehabilitation and resettlement benefits for project affected families belonging to Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes separately. The World Bank OP 4.10 emphasizes “a process of free, prior, and informed consultation with the affected Indigenous People’s communities at each stage of the project, and particularly during project preparation, to fully identify their views and ascertain their broad community support for the project.

Based on the detailed comparative analysis of the above discussed applicable legal and policy framework, major differences identified between these policies which needs to be addressed under the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is listed below:

• Recognition of non-titleholders who have no recognizable legal right to the land they are occupying and extending R&R benefits under the project;

P a g e | 29

Project : Social Impact Assessment Study for proposed river front development of 20 Ghats along river Ganga in Patna, Bihar

SIA

• Establishment of cut-off date to identify the non-titleholders in the project; • Compensation at full replacement cost to replace the lost and other assets; • Need for preparation of Social Impact assessment (SIA), Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)

2.6 Objectives and Scope This Framework has been formulated to lay down the principles and procedures for Management of Social Impacts caused by the project and guide the social impact assessment and preparation of mitigation plans including Resettlement Action Plans and Tribal Development Plans for the project. This Framework shall apply to all projects funded by World Bank during the entire period of loan assistance. Overall objective of this Framework is to guide the preparation and implementation of ESMF based on the following principles:

• Take due precautions to minimize disturbance to human habitations, tribal areas and places of cultural significance. • Take due care of Project Affected People (PAP). • Involve affected people from inception stage to operation and maintenance. • Consult affected people in issues of loss of livelihood • Encourage consultation with communities in identifying social implications of project. • Pay special attention to marginalized and vulnerable groups and secure their inclusion in overall public participation. • Guarantee entitlements and compensation to affected people as per its R&R policy. • Share information with local communities about environmental and social implications.

2.7 Resettlement Policy and Land Acquisition Framework The guidelines are prepared for addressing the issues limited to this project for resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs. This policy has been developed based on the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2007 and the World Bank OPs 4.12 on involuntary resettlement and 4.10 on indigenous peoples

2.7.1 Broad Principles The 'Social Policy‘ of NGRBP aims to resettle and rehabilitate the affected persons on account of its sub projects in a manner that they do not suffer from adverse effects and shall improve or at the minimum retain their previous standard of living, earning capacity and production levels. It is also the endeavour of the NGRBA that the resettlement shall minimise dependency and be sustainable socially, economically and institutionally. Special attention will be paid for the improvement of living standards of marginalised and vulnerable groups.

The broad principles of the policy are as below:

• The adverse impacts on persons affected by the project would be avoided to the extent possible. • Where the adverse impacts are unavoidable, the project-affected persons will be assisted in improving or regaining their standard of living. Vulnerable groups will be identified and assisted to improve their standard of living. • All information related to resettlement preparation and implementation will be disclosed to all concerned, and community participation will be ensured in planning and implementation. • Private negotiations will also be used for land acquisition as required. • The persons affected by the project who does not own land or other properties but who have economic interest or lose their livelihoods will be assisted as per the broad principles brought out in this policy.

3.2 Income Levels in Project District

In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Patna one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is one of the 36 districts in Bihar currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF). Agricultural products include: Paddy, Maize, Pulses and Wheat and also oil seeds. Roughly one third of the area sown is under rice (paddy). Cash crops such as vegetables and water-melons are also grown in Diara belt. Major industries include leather, handicrafts, and agro processing.

Though the human development indicators i.e., literacy, sex ratio, etc. have improved over past decade however income and poverty profile has not changed much due to natural resource degradation and natural calamities.

3.3 Socio - Economic Profiling of the Project affected Households

The socio-economic profile of the likely Project Affected Households has been prepared based on the data generated by the primary survey conducted September 2012. The information was collected by administering the census and socio-economic survey questionnaire to the Head of the Household preferably otherwise to other adult member of the Household. The outcome of this survey gave an insight in to the socio-economic condition of these PAHs, their priorities, expectations and apprehensions. The objectives of the census survey were to prepare the list of the project affected households and also assess the extent of impacts. The survey was conducted by engaging a team of surveyors recruited locally.

3.3.1 Project Affected Households & Persons Total142 households comprising 718 project affected persons are likely to be impacted along the Ganga River front because of the proposed ghat Development. The concentration of impact is on 17 Ghats. The sex composition of any region has vast demographic implications which are extremely vital for any meaningful demographic analysis. The census figures of 2011 indicate that the sex ratio in Patna stood at 892 per 1000 males. The sex ratio of the PAHs is 904 females per 1000 males which is high as compared to district level data.

The composition of the population was slightly tilted in the favors of males at 52.5% as compared to 47.4% females. The average family size of the project affected households works out to be 5. The details of Project Affected Villages and PAF(Project Affected Families) are given in table 3.3.1-1:

3.3.11 Women Participation

Since women are located in different households, castes, communities and regions and are bound by distinct rituals, practices and structures of power, they rarely view themselves as a group with similar demands and needs. They are often governed by decisions that others take on their behalf which are unquestioningly followed. Little over one third of the married women in India participate in decision making at the household level.

As the analysis above indicates that women play an important role in the society, yet they have a very low status in the society coupled with little control over household resources; considerable health hazard; and poverty. It has been recognized therefore that any sub project developed as part of the NGRBA programme should address and integrate such gender issues and inequalities.

3.3.12 Impact on Women and Other Vulnerable Groups

Women and marginalized vulnerable groups may have to face additional challenge of running a household on limited income and resources. This may force women as well as children to participate in involuntary work to supplement household income, which may also lead to deteriorate social capital/network of women and men alike hence making them more vulnerable to both social and environmental hazards. It is therefore important to assess status of project affected women and other vulnerable groups, their potential impacts, and accordingly, design an appropriate strategy/plan.

3.3.13 Women Headed Households

Total 142 numbers of PAFs has been identified during the survey out of them 28 female headed household may affected by the project. (Table 3.3.13-1)Women’s status in illiteracy, work force participation rate, general health conditions etc. are found to very backward in project area.

3.3.14 Women’s Employment Status

Despite the majority of women being in economically active age range, their actual participation in economic activities is almost negligible. A majority of them are daily wage earner.

4. COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS

4.1 Introduction

Consultation is a process in the project cycle in which an attempt is made to involve the public as stakeholders in project preparation through consultation and focus group discussion meetings. Stakeholders’ participation and consultation have been viewed as a continual course of action, which promote public understanding and help eradicate hurdles in the way of the project. Consultation during project preparation as an integral part of the social assessment process not only minimizes the risks and unwanted propaganda against the project but also removes the gap between the community and the project formulators, which leads to timely completion of the project and making the project people friendly.

4.2 Methods of Public Consultation

Keeping in mind the objective of minimizing adverse impact and the need of the stakeholders’ participation for the smooth implementation of the project, consultation with the members of different sections of society, the affected people, identified vulnerable groups including women headed households, slum dwellers regular Ghat visitors, venders, boatman, vegetable seller, tourist and students of the project area were carried out. The consultation with vulnerable people was made with the aim of building awareness among them so that likely potential adverse impacts of the project on the target vulnerable population may be minimized. In this regard several meetings were organized at various locations, as detailed in this chapter. Consultations were carried at different level (Table 4.2-1) to elicit required information (their view & opinions).

Table 4.2-2: Levels of Consultations

Key Stakeholders Types of Consultations

5. IDENTIFIED IMPACTS

5.2 INTRODUCTION

This Chapter contains summary of impacts that are likely to result from the project as a result of the interaction between various project components and environmental elements. The method of impact identified and evaluated is also given in this chapter. The public consultation was carried out between 19.09.2012 till 21.09.2012 at various locations in and around the project area.

5.3 SOCIAL SCREENING EXERCISE:

During the initial site visit to the project site between 10.09.2013 and 21.09.2012 some important project road sections were visited to identify the major Environmental and Social factors as per the guidelines of WB and ESMF of NGRBA. The factors which were looked into include:

• Social Factors: • Land availability/requirement; • Loss of structures • Loss of livelihood • Impacts on common property resource etc.

The outcome of the Social Screening is given in Table 5.3-1

Table 5.3-2: Outcome of Social Screening

Social Factors Outcome There is no such private land acquisition involved in the Loss of Land project. Only govt. land which are going to be available will be taken for forming into parks and public places. Land Availability/Requirement No such land is required for the proposed project except few parks which will done in the Govt. land. No private land acquisition is involved. Loss of structures As such no titleholder structure will be affected. Few slums which are set along the banks may need to be displaced as part of the project. The detailed entitlement framework is given in Loss of livelihood As such the project will not affect any livelihood. In fact it will open the chances of more livelihood for the local people.

Positively, the project is envisaged to have a range of positive social impacts. Some of these are a function of the objectives of the project, while others are a function of the way in which the project is designed to meet its objectives. The project beneficiaries are the population of Patna and the devotees who visit river Ganga almost on daily basis.

5.4 SOCIAL IMPACT

5.4.1 Likely Positive Impacts

Development of River front has emerged as lively Urban Core of cities - their socio-cultural, and recreation centres. Patna is also trying to improve the waterfront use from marginal and neglect into

P a g e | 51

SIA

the mainstream of public life. Today everyone recognizes the value of waterfronts for recreation and ecological reasons.

Projects for improvement of river water quality by preventing disposal of sewage directly into the river by collection of sewage and its treatment before disposal into water body are being prepared separately. Similarly project for collection of solid waste, segregation, transportation and disposal in Sanitary Land Fill/compost Plant is also under preparation which will prevent solid waste disposal in river directly. All these efforts together are likely to improve the quality of River Ganga water substantially.

The other Social Benefits of the project as envisaged are given below:

• Separate toilets for women and changing room ensures gender equality and safe and quality life for the women who wishes to take dip into Ganga; • Life guard along the promenade and bathing ghats ensures safe and secured bathing for people of all ages; • Exit routes along the promenade ensures safe exist of devotee who gathers during the special puja, Chatt etc. and Ganga Arati • Generation of employment during construction stage as mostly local labour will be hired for the unskilled project purpose; • Generation of employment during the operation stage as various kiosks (like food stalls, small shoping arcade) and sales counter will be developed around the project ghats and thereby will enhance the employment generation.

5.4.2 Impact on Structures

6. MITIGATION MEASURES

6.1 Background

Development project may have an adverse impact on the income of project-affected persons. They also have a negative impact on the socio- cultural systems of affected co06mmunities. The basic postulates of all developmental activities should be that no one is worse off than before the project. Restoration of pre-project levels of income is an important part of rehabilitating socio-economic and cultural systems in affected communities.

To achieve this goal, preparation of IR programmes under Rehabilitation Action Plan should proceed exactly as it would have for any other economic development programme. IR schemes should be designed in consultation with the affected persons and they should explicitly approve the programme.

Basic information on IR activities of PAPs will be available from the census and socio-economic surveys. Information from base line surveys will be available on features of economic activities of PAPs under three categories, viz.

• Current economic activities • Total income of PAPs from various sources • Project induced displacement may lead to loss or diminished income for Project Affected Person (PAPs). The main categories of impacts are as follows: • Loss of commercial establishments (permanent) • Loss of livelihood (Commercial tenants or helping hands) • Increased distance from the current working location

6.1.1 Provisions in Entitlement Framework This entitlement matrix has been developed in accordance with the basic principles adopted in the RPF and analysis of initial identification of project impacts.

In case where a State Government through any Act or Gazette Notification or as approved by any authority of State Government (duly authorized for the purpose) as per their approved procedure has fixed a rate for compensation of land and is higher than the provisions under the project, the same may be adopted by the Competent Authority in determining the compensation for land.

Similarly, in case where a State Government through any Act or Gazette Notification or as approved by any authority of State Government (duly authorized for the purpose) as per their approved procedure has fixed a rate for resettlement and rehabilitation assistance and is higher than the provisions under the project, the same may be adopted by the Executing Authority.

The following is the entitlement matrix, as per the NPR&R 2007:

6.2 Income Restoration Measures:

6.2.1 Income Restoration Measures as per the R&R Policy: As per the R&R Policy of the project capacity-building efforts will be made for PAFs, which aim at skill up gradation through various income generation training programmes and schemes. The R&R policy has the provision of mitigating loss of income through cash compensation and capacity building for self-employment.

6.2.2 Training Need Assessment:

One of the strategies for economic sustenance of the PAPs is to help them improve their production level or to impart new skills/upgrade skills through training. The project will have to conduct training need assessment (TNA) of PAFs. For PAPs who intend to diversify their economic activity, suitable income restoration schemes will be identified on individual basis and training need would be assessed. Besides training in scheme specific skills, general entrepreneurship development will also form part of the training programme, mainly to improve the management capabilities of EP. The Training will be organized in the plan period itself. The NGO contracted for the implementation of RAP will be assigned this task. Besides, training programs organized by other government agencies will also be availed. The past experiences have shown that roughly three-fourth of the PAPs require training. It will be the responsibility of the project to ensure that PAPs receives, training in desired trade. The NGO contracted will act as a facilitator and training will be imparted either by the government agencies or a professional and competent outside agency.

6.2.3 Inter-Agency Linkages for Income Restoration and other R&R Support

For Income restoration it is important that available skills with the PAPs is identified and further upgraded. During verification survey, NGO should specifically ask about the skill possessed other than the one related to their current occupation. NGO contracted for implementation should also conduct a survey among the PAPs with options of various skills related to the resource base of the area and available market (with proper forward and backward linkages) and accordingly selected trades for training. Based on the training, NGO will identify income-generating activities for sustainable economic opportunities. NGOs in consultation with the PAPs, project staff, district administration and other stakeholders in institutional financing and marketing federations will prepare micro-plans for IR activities.

In case of creation of alternative livelihood schemes, felt needs of the target group population will be prioritized through people’s participation. Further, these options will be tested for their viability against availability of skills, resource base of the area and available appropriate technology. Suitable alternative livelihood schemes will be chosen finally, where training on skill upgradation, capital assistance, and assistance in the form of backward-forward linkages can be provided for making these pursuits sustainable for the beneficiaries or the target groups.

A comprehensive support system to the PAPs will ensure income security. The project will work as a facilitator to the people in the enterprise (but will not act as providers for each and every livelihood opportunity). The PAPs are required to participate in developing feasible long- term income generating schemes. The long- term options are expected to be developed during the implementation of the RAP and also supported by the government assistance.

6.2.3.1 Short Term IR activities

Short term IR activities mean restoring PAPs’ income during periods immediately before and after relocation. Such activities will focus on the following:

• Ensuring that adequate compensation is paid before relocation • Providing short term, welfare based grants and allowances such as: • Free or subsidized items • Transitional allowances or grants until adequate income is generated, special allowances for vulnerable groups • With consideration of PAPs skills and needs, promoting PAP access to project related employment opportunities such as: • Work on relocation teams (e.g., driver, food provision, etc.)

6.2.3.2 Long term IR schemes

The long term IR schemes are listed below:

6.2.3.2.1 Petty Traders

Under this scheme, the available options are grocery shop, vegetable & fruit shop, stationary, cloth, tea & snacks, ready-made garments, beetle shop etc. PAPs those who are already in the trade and business are suitable for these activities. Implementing NGO will have to decide on type of shops to be established as per demand.

6.2.3.2.2 Skill related Schemes

The options available under this scheme are tailoring, carpentry, masonry, mobile repair, computer operator, beautician, motor winding, cycle/motor cycle/auto repair, driving (auto/Matador/etc.), Television/Tape records/Watch repairing, Pottery, Leather works, etc. PAPs those who are in such trades can undergo training for skill upgradation to supplement their annual income. Industrial Training Institutes imparts training in such trades. Training can also be imparted through professional and competent outside agency especially hired for the purpose.The implementation of above- mentioned activities requires organisation of credit camps. Extending financial credit support is an important component of IR schemes. It requires organisation of credit camps for EPs. Local government officials, NGOs and PAP representatives apart from project officials, will attend these camps. The purpose of the camps would be to allow local financial institutions to inform participants of credit options and how to avoid procedural delays. All formalities related to processing of applications for credit assistance will be completed at these camps. For these kinds of camps project staff along

with NGO, will have to coordinate closely with the Lead Bank managers and other commercial banks operating in the district.

6.2.3.2.3 Monitoring of IR Schemes

The monitoring of IR schemes will be carried out along with the monitoring of other components of RAP by an outside agency contracted for the purpose. The contract will specifically provide for regular (every six months) monitoring of income restoration of PAPs. The monitoring will be carried out based on economic indicators. Vulnerable PAPs who lose their livelihood due to the project will be assisted in alternative economic rehabilitation schemes and vocational training for skill upgradation as per the requirement of suggested economic scheme.

6.2.3.2.4 Provisions for Vulnerable Groups

Distribution of project affected households is mentioned in Table 6.2.3.2.4.-1. There are 122 vulnerable households as per the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) out of 142 that may be impacted due to this project. Vulnerability of project affected households has been identified based on social and economic criteria. As per vulnerability criteria 122 HHs are socially vulnerable. Socially vulnerable households are woman headed households, Schedule Castes. Table 6.2.3.2.4.-2: Vulnerability Status of PAFs

Income restoration

Measures for income restoration are one of the most crucial and vital components of resettlement planning and implementation. They are integrated with the development project involving involuntary resettlements. The World Bank policy states that the loss of the livelihoods in the projects with involuntary resettlement can severely affect people especially those from the vulnerable groups and other disadvantaged section of the society leading to impoverishment.

6.6.2 Women Involvement in Development Process

Participation of women has been envisaged specifically in the following areas:  In the pre-planning and planning stages, participation from women in the consultation process is a must. The NGOs will make sure that at least 33%* of project affected women are adequately consulted in all stages of the project cycle.  Field team of the NGO shall include at least-one women investigator/facilitator.

P a g e | 60

SIA

 Compensation for land and assets lost being same for all the affected or displaced families, women headed households shall be provided adequate attention and counseling by the NGO during RAP implementation. *This proposal is as for recommendations of the women reservation bill.

 It is imperative that the NGRBA ensures that the women are consulted and invited to participate in group-based activities, to gain access and control over the resource as a part of the RAP  The NGOs should make sure that women are actually taking part in LA&R&R processes such as issuance of identity cards, opening accounts in the bank, receiving compensation amounts through cheque in their name or not, etc. This will further widen the perspective of participation by the women in the project implementation.  Under the entitlement framework there are a number of provisions kept for compensation and assistances towards the losses incurred upon the impacted women headed households by the project.  The assistances to be provided to women as a vulnerable group should create alternative livelihood for them to ensure their sustainable socio-economic upliftment.  The implementing agencies should provide trainings for upgrading the skill in the alternative livelihoods and assist throughout till the beneficiaries start up with production and business.  Women's participation should be initiated through Self-Help Group formation in each of the wards affected by the project. These groups should then be linked to special development schemes of the Government, like SGSY.  Women's participation should be ensured for monitoring and evaluation activities.  Monitoring of project inputs concerning benefit to women should invite their participation that will make the process more transparent to them. Women should be encouraged to evaluate the project outputs from their point of view and their useful suggestions should be noted for taking necessary actions for further modifications in the project creating better and congenial situation for increasing participation from women.

Involvement of Women in Construction Activities

The labour force required for the construction activities will be mostly of high-skill nature since a lot of machine work will be involved in the construction of the project. But there will be requirement of unskilled labour where women may likely to involve in such work. Women as family members of the skilled and semi-skilled labourers will also stay in the construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the construction phase. The families of labourer will include their children also. The construction contractors are expected to bring along their labour force. Thus, in most cases the labourers, both male and female, will be migratory labourers. But, the involvement of local labour force, especially for unskilled activities cannot be fully ruled out. There will be involvement of local women also in the local labour force. Foreseeing the involvement of women both directly and indirectly in the construction activities, certain measures are required to be token towards welfare and well-being of women and children in-particular during the construction phase.

Measures for Income Restoration and up-liftment of Vulnerable People

The entitlement matrix has evolved a number of measures towards resettlement and rehabilitation of vulnerable families including women headed households, SC/ST below poverty line and the poor getting affected by its projects. The considerations therein have been compiled as follows:

All the affected families falling under the vulnerable category including the poor will be assisted to uplift their economic status irrespective of their ownership status. Whether they possess or do not possess legal title to the lands/assets, whether they are tenants or encroachers or squatters, they will be assisted in restoring their livelihoods as per the entitlement matrix.

The Environment and Social Management Unit proposed as part of the project are required to maintain the social support network for women headed households as far as possible so that they remain closer to their locations and /or provide special services at the new sites. Special assistance would consist of the following:

 Allowing the PAPs for site selection  Relocating them near the present site wherever possible  Providing assistance with dismantling salvageable materials from their original home  Providing them priority for access to all other mitigation and development assistance  Monitoring their nutritional and health status The entitlement matrix for the vulnerable people are given below:

7. GENDER ACTION PLAN

7.1 Introduction

Though women comprise half of the total population, gender discrimination still prevails in the society. Status of women in India and in Bihar with regards to their access to knowledge, economic resources, political power, and personal autonomy in decision making is quite low. Daughters lose rights over parental property after marriage. Women still lack access to and control over productive resources. Women in all social groups and regions have been proven as more disadvantaged than their male counterpart and even among women widows, separated, divorced and women headed households are particularly vulnerable. Similarly, women in all groups due to their limited access to economic resources and livelihood options can equally be classified as vulnerable who are at permanent risk for facing severe poverty. Over 20 percent of the total women are in labour force, but the economic contribution of women goes largely unnoticed because their traditional role is taken for granted. In urban areas, they were employed in domestic and traditional jobs, as well as in the government sector, mostly in low-level positions.

One tangible measure of women's status was their educational attainment. Although the constitution offers women equal educational opportunities, many social, economic, and cultural factors contributed to lower enrollment and higher dropout rates for girls. Illiteracy imposed the greatest hindrance to enhancing equal opportunity and status for women. They were caught in a vicious circle imposed by the patriarchal society. Their lower status hindered their education, and the lack of education, in turn, constricted their status and position. Although the female literacy rate has improved noticeably over the years, the level in the early 1990s fell far short of the male level.

Even in the project area, almost 50 percent of the population is women. The baseline survey shows 28 women headed households. With poor literacy rate, women heads of the households though gainfully engaged in economic activities are largely poor as most of them are daily wage labourers in farm and non-farm activities.

7.2 Gender Consultations

The baseline survey shows that there are 28 women headed households and there are 20% of the women involved in labour force.

7.2.1 Women’s Involvement in the Project

The development experience shows that it is equally necessary to consult women and offer them choices in enabling them to make informed choices and decide for their own development. Participation of women has been envisaged specifically in the following areas:

Table 7.2.1-1:Women’s Participation in Project

For monitoring and evaluation, there will be scope for women's participation. Monitoring of project inputs concerning benefit to women should invite their participation that will make the process more transparent to them. Women will be encouraged to evaluate the project outputs from their point of view and their useful suggestions should be noted for taking necessary actions for further modifications in the project creating better and congenial situation for increasing participation from women.

Women’s skills.

Income-restoration programs to address gender During social impact assessment survey, issues existing levels of women’s skills were assessed.

The SIA noted the complex role a woman performs as a collector of food, fuel, fodder and water and also as a partner in agricultural activities.

Women's participation will be initiated through Self-Help Group formation in each of the villages within the periphery of the project. Special orientation meetings will be arranged with the women members to help form new self- help groups and to revive the defunct groups if any. Training will be provided to the SHG groups along with the exposure visits. The NGO during implementation will also explore the opportunities for augmenting existing income.

7.2.2 Involvement of Women in Construction Activities

The construction contractor will set up their construction camps on identified locations where labor force required for the construction activities will be provide with temporary residential accommodation and other necessary infrastructure facilities. The labor force required for the construction activities will be mostly of high-skill nature since a lot of machine work will be involved in the project. In addition, there will be requirement of unskilled labor where women will certainly contribute. Apart from this, women as family members of the skilled and semi-skilled laborers will also stay in the construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the construction phase.

The families of labor will include their children also. The construction contractor is expected to bring along their labor force. Thus, in most cases the laborers, both male and female, will be migratory laborers. But, the involvement of local labor force, especially for unskilled activities cannot be fully ruled out. Hence, there will be involvement of local women also in the local labor force. Foreseeing the involvement of women both directly and indirectly in the construction activities, certain measures are required to be taken towards welfare and wellbeing of women and children in particular during the construction phase.

7.2.3 Specific Provision for Women in the Construction Camp

It needs to be pointed out that number of along with the male member of the family may engaged in the construction work and stay in temporary construction camps in a sub-human condition. They are likely to face many adverse conditions and realizing this, a number of welfare provisions mentioned

P a g e | 66

Project : Social Impact Assessment Study for proposed river front development of 20 Ghats along river Ganga in Patna, Bihar

SIA

under this section have been planned directed to cover all the women and children living in the construction camp.

7.3 Temporary Housing

During the construction work phase, the families of laborers/workers should be provided with residential accommodation suitable to nuclear families.

7.4 Health Centre

Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health-care' facilities through health centers temporarily set up for the construction camp. The health centre should have at least a visiting doctor, nurses, general duty staff, free medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases, linkage with nearest higher order hospital to refer patients of major illnesses and critical cases. Apart from this, the health centre should be provided with regular vaccinations required for children.

7.5 Day Crèche Facilities

It is expected that among the women workers there will be mothers with infants and small children. Provision of a day crèche may solve the problems of such women who can leave behind their children in such crèche and work for the day in the construction activities. The crèche should be provided with at least a trained worker to look after the children. The worker, preferably women, may take care of the children in a better way. In cases of emergency, she, being trained, can tackle the health problems of the children and can organize treatment linking the nearest health centre.

7.6 Proper Scheduling of Construction Works

Owing to the demand of a fast construction work it is expected that a 24 hours long work schedule would be in operation. Women should be exempted from night shifts works as far as possible.

7.7 Education Facilities

The construction workers are mainly mobile groups of people. They are found to move from one place to another taking along their families with them. Thus there is a need for educating their children at the place of their work. For this at least primary schools are required to be planned near the construction camps. Wherever feasible, day crèche facilities could be extended with primary educational facilities.

7.8 Special Measures for Controlling STD and AIDS

Solitary adult males usually dominate the labor force of construction camps. They play a significant role in spreading sexually transmitted diseases. In the construction camps as well as in the neighboring areas they are found to indulge in physical relations with different women. This unhealthy sexual behavior gives rise to STDs and AIDS. While it is difficult to stop such activities, it is wise to make provisions for means of controlling the spread of such diseases. Awareness camps for the target people, both in the construction camp and neighboring villages as well, and supply of condoms at concession rate to the male workers may help to a large extent in this respect for controlling the deadly disease.

7.9 Possible areas of Women Involvement

The following proposals are made to involve women at various levels of the project.

P a g e | 67

Project : Social Impact Assessment Study for proposed river front development of 20 Ghats along river Ganga in Patna, Bihar

SIA

7.9.1 Women as Managers during Implementation

The project can hire a local NGO to implement the RAP. It is proposed that NGO must fulfill the following conditions.

• The NGO must propose at least one woman as part of the key personnel. The proposed women key person shall be available to work at site for at least 50% of the duration of the contract. • The women key persons, if selected for the contract, may be replaced during the period of contract, only with women key persons of equivalent qualifications and experience. • The NGO will depute a 'technical/professional' team to work at the site, which will consist at least 33% of women members. Junior support personnel and administrative staff will not be considered as technical/professional.

7.9.2 Women Self-help Group (SHG)

The NGO will initiate the process of identifying the interested women for forming the SHGs. The women SHGs will be formed as per the norms formulated by the Government. The SHG will be formed among the women from same VDC wherever possible. The places where the number of persons are less than the minimum number required for forming a group, they will be merged with nearest women group. The skill development program and financial assistance will be distributed through the SHGs.

Small loan assistance program will be development particularly for vulnerable women headed households. An agreed amount of money will be allocated as a revolving fund to provide loans for small income generating projects. Co-ordination and links will be established with the local credit groups, cooperatives or field offices of the Lead Bank to ensure long term sustainability of the program. Besides, the following measures need to be undertaken to ensure that women's livelihoods are restored or even improved compared to what existed before project implementation.

Income generating program will be designed to ensure that women derive a reliable income by engaging in activities that are within their capacity, taking into account the availability of resources and the type of enterprises that they are already engaged in;

Capacity enhancing assistance will be provided that improve the access of women to skills training for off-farm employment such as tailoring and weaving, small goods shops; marketing - buying and selling local produce; processing of locally produced products;

Social awareness campaigns and training opportunities will be organized to increase women’s integration into social and economic mainstream; and

Project will strengthen Women’s Community based and non-governmental organizations by providing training and advisory supports once during construction period.

7.10 Addressing Gender Issues in Project Cycle

The plan seeks to address the various gender related issues through a set of activities and programs. The implementation mechanism specifying the roles of different institutional players, the indicators for further assessment and the means of verification have been specified. To make the gender development plan a time bound initiative, a time frame for implementation of each activity has also been specified.

8.2 Grievance Redressal Mechanism Despite best efforts to arrive at fair rewards in a project involving possible livelihood compensation and moving of squatters, there are always a few unsatisfied citizens. The implementing agency will make efforts at project level to resolve grievances through negotiations involving community leaders and PAP’s representatives. In case dispute is not resolved at local level, the matter will be placed before a Grievance Resolution Committee to be established at the regional level.

8.3 Communication strategy The project will have a communication strategy focusing on efficient and effective usage of print and electronic media, information boards, posters, and adoption of any other method suited to the local context, logistics, and human and financial resources available. The NGRBA communications plan includes dissemination of investment-specific information through suitable local media. Communities will be engaged through stakeholder consultations in planning and implementation of investments. The PMG and SPMGs will have specific communications and outreach units. Since the launch of the NGRBA Program communications plan, along with the local-level social intermediation for early investments, are amongst the first activities of the project, the World Bank team will ensure close and consistent support to the NGRBA to ensure their effective implementation.

8.4 Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS) An Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS) will be established for the NGRBA Program. Grievance Redressal Cells (GRCs), with necessary officers and systems will be established at the EA, ULB, SPMG and PMG levels. Grievances of any kind may be submitted through various mediums (e.g. a dedicated toll free phone line, direct calls to concerned officials, online via a dedicated portal, in written form, etc.) and will be addressed. The project will also comply with the RTI Act of 2005 and will ensure proactive disclosure and sharing of information with the public. The mandate of the GRC will be to redress grievances of project affected persons (PAPs) in all respects, especially with regards to rehabilitation and resettlement assistance.

8.5 Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring and Evaluation are integral part of the World Bank assisted development projects. Monitoring is periodical checking of planned activities and provides midway inputs, facilitates changes, and provides feedback to project authority to keep the program on schedule. Evaluation on the other hand, is essentially a summing up, the end of the project assessment of whether those activities actually achieved the intended aims. Thus monitoring and evaluation are critical in order to measure the project performance and fulfillment of project objectives.

The monitoring and evaluation for the proposed project will ensure monitoring of key indicators on inputs, outputs, project processes and evaluation of impact indicators. The overall purpose of the monitoring is to keep track of the implementation processes and progress, achievement of performance targets fixed in the annual work plans, learning lessons and taking corrective actions to deal with emerging constraints and issues.

Monitoring and evaluation will constitute the following:

P a g e | 77

Project : Social Impact Assessment Study for proposed river front development of 20 Ghats along river Ganga in Patna, Bihar

SIA

• Sample study; • Monitoring of Inputs, Implementation Progress and Outputs through a Management Information System (MIS); • Periodic Reviews and Thematic Studies; • Process Documentation (case studies and lessons learnt); and • Impact Evaluation.

In order to ensure potential social issues including possible resettlements and effects on livelihoods will be managed through Bank’s OP 4.12. Based on the information generated through the social checklist and the guidance of the framework, expert will make the decision, with the concurrence of the Bank, on what actions are to be taken to ensure social safeguards compliance.

The expert will be responsible for preparing the TORs for carrying out the assessments (with or without public consultation as the need may be) with World Bank concurrence. The Project Director will formally submit the EA for GOI concurrence and then the World Bank’s no objection. Once the project is approved and implemented, monitoring of implementation progress of each sub-project will be carried out periodically by the NGBRA and World Bank. The NGBRA will monitor the project and submit monitoring reports to the World Bank.

8.5.1 Institutional Arrangement for Monitoring and Evaluation The project authority will be responsible for carrying out M&E. Internal monitoring will be carried out by the Social Officer of State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) with assistance from R&R officer and NGO whereas external monitoring and evaluation will be carried by a third party. The intuitional arrangement for external monitoring and evaluation is covered in the RPF. It will engage services of an external agency (third party) to carry out monitoring and evaluation. This will help monitor project activities closely. Regular monitoring by undertaking site visits will help identify potential difficulties and problems faced in the project implementation and subsequently help take timely corrective measures including deviations, if needed.

Monitoring will start from the next month as soon as the NGO is mobilized at site for implementation of RAP. Components of monitoring will include performance monitoring i.e., physical progress of the work and impact monitoring and external evaluation. Indicators that would be monitored related to performance are provided in the following sections. However, if during the project implementation some other indicators are found relevant those shall be included.

The project is responsible for internal monitoring on regular basis with the help of Social Officer of EA and Social Specialist of supervision consultant. A quarterly report of internal monitoring will be prepared by Social Officer. The EA will maintain a record of all transaction in their resettlement database, followed by entitlement records signed by the affected persons and survey based monitoring of resettlement and land acquisition progress. The internal monitoring will also provide feedback on community concerns, grievances and requests. Internal monitoring will focus and ensure the followings:

• Verification that there are no outstanding or unresolved issues with respect to the project and that property valuation and economic rehabilitation in accordance with the provision of plan, • Information campaign, discrimination and consultation with affected persons, • Status of relocation and timely disbursement of R&R assistance, • Value of entitlement received equal to that of actual structure acquired, • Use of entitlement and monitor its use, • Compensation for affected structures and other assets, • Payments for loss of income,

8.5.3 Evaluation The implementation activities will be evaluated externally during mid- term and end term through an independently appointed agency, consultant not involved with any aspects of the Project, which will also provide support to EA. The EA or SPMG will hire such external agency. A survey of affected households will be undertaken to assess the degree to which the project’s resettlement objectives have been met. The socio-economic survey undertaken during RAP preparation will form a baseline data, from which many of the indicators can be measured. A survey at the end of the sub-project period will cover all the categories of PAPs and assess changes caused by the project. The aim of the sample monitoring survey will be to measure the extent to which PAPs living standards have been restored/improved.

External monitoring will also be conducted to assess the Resettlement Action Plan implementation and its impacts, verify internal monitoring and suggest adjustment of delivery mechanisms and procedures. Additional monitoring surveys of a sample of affected households will be undertaken as a part of this activity. The socio-economic baseline surveys conducted during resettlement planning will be a part of this monitoring activity. This activity will be undertaken by an external independent agency trained in monitoring and evaluation and familiar with resettlement aspect of the infrastructure development, which will provide feedback on RAP implementation. The cost needed for such procurement will be borne by the project cost.

The external monitor will review the resettlement implementation. The external monitoring involves on:

• Review of RAP Implementation, • Review of internal monitoring Reports, • Review of compensation status, • Rehabilitation supports, • Information disclosure, • Process and mechanism of compliance redress, • Employment status of the PAPs, • Livelihood restoration, and • Awareness in HIV/AIDS and human trafficking

11. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Overall as part of the Environmental and Social screening study the project is placed in category B having minor reversible impacts and no such irreversible impacts. The project DPR has already taken many environmental measures which were being suggested during the visit during the screening study like (i) Providing sulabh toilet with connection to city sewer; (ii) escape route for the pilgrim during rush hour; (iii) parking for the boats at the anta ghat; (iv) riparian edge restoration (v) Provising separate toilet and changing room facility for women; (vi) enhancing the chances of employment through deployment of kiosks and (vii) provision of life guard for safety to young children and elderly people. The impact on 142 households that is envisaged is mostly are non-titleholders and thus does not involve any significant effort. However, necessary compensation are to be given to these people as per the R&R budget and necessary steps to be followed for their relocation assistance as per the steps framed in the R&R.

The major conclusions of review study are given below:

11.1 Conclusion:

• 142 households will get affected as part of the project, all of them are titleholders only; • All the titleholder are required to be adequately compensated and shifted as per the plan and R&R budget; • The steps to be followed for the shifting is framed in the R&R plan; • People from various aspects of work , profession and social groups along the project area has been consulted during the preparation of the SIA and R&R study; • Necessary entitlement framework has been prepared based upon the compensation requirement of NPRR, 2007. • Apart from the impact on 142 households who are basically encroachers in the project area there are several other positive befits envisaged in the project. • The positive impacts include: o Separate toilets for women and changing room ensures gender equality and safe and quality life for the women who wishes to take dip into Ganga; o Life guard along the promenade and bathing ghats ensures safe and secured bathing for people of all ages; o Exit routes along the promenade ensures safe exist of devotee who gathers during the special puja, Chatt etc. and Ganga Arati o Generation of employment during construction stage as mostly local labour will be hired for the unskilled project purpose; o Generation of employment during the operation stage as various kiosks (like food stalls, small shoping arcade) and sales counter will be developed around the project ghats and thereby will enhance the employment generation. o Plan for community cum cultural centres are proposed which will facilitate in organize various cultural functions in a organized manner.

11.2 Recommendation:

The discussion with local people does not raise much resentments against the plan in fact most of them welcome the project. From the social screening exercise the project does not envisage any significant adverse social impact. The positive impacts in fact are more which ensures safe and secured movement of devotees during the rush hours along ghats.
