APPROACH TO XIth FIVE YEAR PLAN IN RESPECT OF COMMUNICATION SECTOR UNDER PWD ARUNACHAL PRADESH

I. ARUNACHAL PRADESH-AN OVERVIEW

1.1 Land and climate Arunachal Pradesh is a infrastructure deficient frontier state. Lying in the north-eastern tip of the Indian subcontinent it is bounded by long international borders of about 1628 Km with Bhutan to the west, China to the north, Myanmar to the east. It also shares interstate boundary with Assam and Nagaland in the south. With an area of 83,743 sq.km, it is the largest geographical entity in the whole of North-Eastern region. The State’s topography is predominantly hilly and it is traversed by many major rivers and their tributaries, all discharging into the Brahmaputra. About 82% of the geographical area of the state is under the cover of forests which support a diverse spectrum of flora and fauna. The state receives high precipitation with annual rainfall exceeding 2500 mm and substantial snow melt in the upper reaches. 1.2 People It is a Schedule Tribe majority state with ethnically diverse 25 major tribes. With total population of 1.10 million (as per the 2001 census) the density of population stands as 13.11 persons per sq.km, the thinnest in the country. Over 75% of the people live in villages which are widely scattered with many located in remote interiors close to the international borders. There has been a tendency for in migration of people from rural pockets in remote areas to urban centres and potential growth centres which have seen galloping increases in population. The high growth rare of urban population could also signal influx of people from outside. 1.3 Economy Earlier the economy was largely driven by a vibrant forest based industry. A roaring timber industry of logging, sawing, veneering and ply making saw a premature demise due to the Supreme Court order restricting such operations.

2

Subsistence agriculture is the main occupation of the indigenous people. There has been substantial development in horticulture with apples, oranges, pineapples, kiwi fruits, large etc. grown in various pockets of the state. The potential for further growth is unlimited. Tea plantation is coming up in a big way in Tirap, Changlang, Lohit, Lower Dibang Valley and East Siang districts. The great potential for cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants is yet to be tapped.

The state is also endowed with immense potential for development of hydro- power, estimated to be around 50,000 MW, the third of the country. It also has deposits of coal, oil, limestone, graphite, etc.

There is also great potential for development of tourism sector in the state. The great rivers, the high mountains, dense forest with species rich flora and fauna, and the ethnically divers people - all these could support adventure tourism, eco tourism, cultural tourism. Tourism industry in the state, however, is yet to take off mainly because of the problem caused by communication bottleneck.

1.4 Problems of communication The major stumbling block standing on the path to development of Arunachal Pradesh is the bottleneck in communication. In the absence of other mode of transport, road is the only reliable means of communication in the state. But the road development in Arunachal Pradesh is yet to reach take off stage. With the density of road standing at 18.65 Km/sq.km, (national average 84 Km/100 sq.km and NE average 60 km/100 sq.km) the state has the lowest road development index in the country.

A large number of administrative centres and the majority of the villages in the state still remain unconnected.

In places where there is a landing ground or a helipad, there could be limited air service through helicopters of the Pawan Hans Ltd. or IAF services however, are restricted to supply of essential commodities, evacuation of patients, VIP movement or defense needs.

3

The remote locations not linked by road are also served through a network of porter/mule tracks. With construction materials and essential items carted through head loads, development efforts in these areas are prohibitively costly and the progress extremely slow.

1.5 Vulnerability to natural hazard Forming a part of Zone-V, in the seismological map of the country, the state is highly vulnerable to earthquakes. Many major earthquake have been seen in the state including the one of more than 8 point on the Richer scale that occurred on 15.08.1950. During major calamities like earthquakes, landslides, or floods, the road communication could be snapped or remain severely affected, leading to problem of reaching essential commodities and relief materials to the affected areas and people. Further, disturbance of road communication will also be adversely affect other development activities. 4

II. DEVELOPMENT IN COMMUNICATION SECTOR - PRESENT STATUS

2.1 Roads under different agencies From a near “clean slate” state at the time of Independence, with just a few dirt tracks barely totaling 160 Km in length, the Arunachal Pradesh can now boast of 15619 Km of road network developed by various agencies like the State PWD, the BRO, the Rural Works Department, the Department of Environment and Forest etc. through different programme such as State Plan, North Eastern Council, Central Road Fund, Rural Infrastructure Development Fund, National Highways, General Staff Road, China Study Group road etc. The agency wise break up of road lengths are given below:

Table 2.1 Roads in Arunachal Pradesh under different agencies. Sl.No Agency Length Category of Source in Km road of funding 1) PWD 6692.00 NH/MDR/ODR State Plan/ NEC/CRF/NH 2) BRO 4524.00 NH/ODR/MDR NH/GS/CSG 3) RWD/Forest 4403.00 ODR/VR State Plan/ PMGSY/Project Total 15619.00

Note: NH-National Highway, MDR-Major District Road, ODR-Ordinary District Road, VR-Village Road.

With other modes of communication like railways, air services, inland water transport almost non existent, road is the harbinger of all developments in the state, and the means for delivering services in the social sector programmes like in the health, the education and poverty alleviation.

Road development in Arunachal Pradesh also assumes a national importance because of the strategic needs of the defense forces guarding the long international borders with the three neighboring countries of Bhutan, China and Myanmar.

2.2 Density of road With a large geographical area of 83,734 sq.km the state has an average road density of 18.65 Km per 100 sq.km which is the lowest in the country (National 5

average 84 Km per 100 sq.km and the North-Eastern average 60 Km per 100 sq.km).

2.3 General deficiencies of roads Much of the existing road network is just able to provide marginal connectivity only because of the general shortcomings like the need of bridges on major water gaps, inadequate provision of cross drainage structures and weak pavement. The pavement profiles of the roads under PWD are as follows: 1) Earthen-2917.25 Km 2) Metalled-1693.69 Km 3) Carpetted-2081.12 Km

Future road development plans will have to provide for taking care of these deficiencies.

2.4 Connectivity positions Out of 157 administrative centres in the state as many as 30 still remain unconnected. A list of the administrative centres showing their connectivity positions is enclosed as Annexure 2.1. Then again, out of the 3880 villages (as per 2001 Census), 2489 are yet to be connected. The connectivity status of the villages in the state are shown below in Table 2.2.

Table 2.2: Connectivity status of villages in Arunachal Pradesh

S No Population No of Left out Total habitations habitation habitation connected 1 2 3 4 5 1 1000 + 139 33 172 2 500-999 183 82 266 3 250-499 264 216 480 4 <250 805 2157 2962 Total 1391 2489 3880

It may be seen that 76% of the villages in the state has populations less than 250, which is the threshold population for qualifying under PMGSY programme in hilly or desert states or areas.

2.5 Higher cost of construction and maintenance Because of the hilly topography with fragile slopes; the needs for multitude of bridges over numerous rivers and streams; the large number of culverts and 6

lengthy drains required for discharging high surface runoff from heavy rainfalls and snowmelt; and also the vulnerability to earthquake and other natural calamities like landslides, floods etc., construction and maintenance of roads in the hilly state of Arunachal Pradesh is not only cost intensive but also difficult.

2.6 Lack of inter district connectivity A state having vast area with arial distance of over 600 Km from eastern to western tip and the distance from the plains of Assam to the international border on the north being more than 150 Km, at places and with the added problem of poor road infrastructure, communication from one district of Arunachal Pradesh to another often involves incursion into the territory of Assam, the geographical hub of the North East region, with which this state shares interstate boundary of over 700 Km. It thus involves avoidable extra cost and travel time. Travel through Assam, on the other hand, is also uncertain and often unsafe due to floods, frequent bandhs etc. Hence, there is an urgent need for inter district highway network within the territory of Arunachal Pradesh. This aspect will need special attention in the future plans.

2.7 Porter tracks and foot bridges The PWD continues to maintain over 5150 Km porter/mule tracks and more than 5400 mtrs of foot suspension bridges located on these tracks. Though, as per Business Allocation Rules of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, the subject should be under the Rural Works Department, the efforts to hand over these tracks to RWD for further maintenance and upkeepment has not been successful mainly for want of clear administrative direction.

2.8 Landing ground and helipads In the past some 13 landing grounds were developed at different locations of Arunachal Pradesh. Of these, ten LGs, viz. Ziro, Daporijo, Along, Mechuka, Pasighat, Tuting, Yingkiong, Anini, Tezu and Vijaynagar catered to services of fixed winged planes like Fokker Friendship, others, carribows and later 20 seater Dornier aircrafts, since discontinued. Presently AN-32 planes are operating defense sorties to three LG viz. Mechuka, Tuting and Vijaynagar.

7

Some 100 helipads of different capacities catering to MI-8, MI-17 and Chetak helicopters were also constructed. Besides these, some helipads have also been developed by Border Roads and the Army.

III. 10TH PLAN UNDER STATE SECTOR – PERFORMANCE REVIEW

3.1 The development activities undertaken by PWD Arunachal Pradesh through State Plan under Communication sector falls under two sub-heads: a) 5054 & 3054 - Road & Bridge b) 5053 & 3053 - Civil Aviation

ROAD & BRIDGE SECTOR PROGRAMME

3.2 Plan size of 10th Plan

Against actual releases totaling Rs.483.56 crores under Road & Bridge sector of PWD during 9th Plan, the corresponding size of 10th Plan was agreed at Rs.806.41 crores. Against this the actual allocations conveyed upto 2005-06 worked out to Rs.396.55 crores only. Including the anticipated outlay for 2006- 2007 the final 10th Plan outlay could stand at Rs.537.10 crore only.

3.3 Yearwise outlay and expenditure

The yearwise allocations and expenditures during 10th Plan including the anticipated expenditure for 2006-07 are indicated in the Table 3.1.

It is observed that the outlays and expenditures under different Annual Plans during 10th Plan period matched evenly. However, in the spread of outlays and expenditures against different schemes and sub-heads, it could have been a different story.

3.4 Physical targets and achievements

The yearwise physical targets and achievements during different Annual Plan periods of 10th Plan upto the financial year 2005-2006 are given in Table 3.2. As can be seen from the Table, that the physical achievements on ground have generally failed to match the yearly targets set. The reasons for this mismatch need to be ascertained though no definite trend is discernible immediately.

9

3.5 Funding programme under State Plan.

Funding of works under Road & Bridge sector through State Plan consist of the following: 1) Normal grant 2) Central Road Fund (CRF) 3) Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF)

3.6 Programme under Normal grants Till the end of 8th Plan, most of the road network developed by PWD had been funded as normal free grants without being tied to earmarked programmes. From the onset of 9th Plan, the free grant component of the State Plan reduced drastically with good chunk of funds being earmarked as ACA under CRF or loans under RIDF from NABARD.

Then again, because of the large geographical area and poor road infrastructure in existence, the funds available under State Plan, especially the unearmarked normal grants, have not been near adequate to meet the ever increasing demands.

Maintenance load. Erosion of Plan funds also occurred due to the need to earmark funds for revenue type expenditure for maintenance of assets. This had to be resorted to because of non-allocation of maintenance funds under Non- Plan. Funds earmarked for maintenance works by apportioning Plan funds had been pegged around Rs.15.00 crores per year.

The allocations against individual schemes under free grant thus have tended to get diluted because of the depletion of resource. This has adversely affected the physical achievements on ground thereby causing time and cost overrun.

Porter tracks and foot bridges. Besides the normal Roads and Bridge programmes, the PWD has also been undertaking construction and maintenance of porter/mule tracks and foot bridges under state plan through normal grant only without any designated allocations. There are around 100 porter/mule tracks with aggregate length of over 4150 Km. There are also a large number of foot suspension bridges with total length of over 5400 m, 10

located mostly in the inaccessible areas in the remote upper reaches. The 30 unconnected administrative centres of the State and numerous villages unlinked by road are served through these porter/mule tracks.

Spillover schemes. There are as many as 1031 schemes likely to spill over to 11th Plan. Of these 88 are last mile schemes with investment of above 80%. There are also 160 schemes with financial progress from 60% to 80%. Adequate funds could not be mobilized for completion of these schemes because of the general resource constraints under State Plan. An analysis of the ongoing schemes is given in Annexure 3.1.

Inclusion of new schemes. Public pressure also tended to cause aberration in planning process with induction of new schemes in the face of many ongoing schemes. A solution of this problem could come only through strong political will.

Problem of revised estimates. There are also over 445 schemes needing revised or re-revised sanctions. The process of obtaining revised sanction is getting more complicated because of the long time overrun and lack of clarity about the procedure often dictated by the State Finance.

3.7 Programme under CRF

The Central Road Fund is a designated fund for development of road infrastructure and other related activities like road safety, research in the field of highway and transportation, capacity building etc. The fund is generated through cess on consumption of petrol and diesel. The CRF is administered through the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways, Government of India. Allocations are made as ACA and actual releases are made against submission of UC. The programme is subgrouped into three categories (1) Normal or state category with 100% funding from the Ministry (2) Inter State Connectivity (ISC) category with 100% support from GOI and (3) Economically Important (EI) category with 50% of the cost funded by the Centre and 50% borne by the State Government as state share.

11

So far 30 schemes under CRF normal category have been taken up under PWD at total sanctioned cost of Rs.114.10 crores. Besides these, one scheme under ISC category and one schemes under EI category are being executed by the Department. Another scheme for construction of bridges on Dambuk-Paglam road has been accepted in principle for funding under ISC category.

Of the 30 state category schemes, 13 schemes have been completed. The total investment upto 31.03.2007 including the anticipated expenditure during 2006- 07 would worked out to Rs.85.05 crores. The one ISC category scheme is nearing completion. As many as 4 state category CRF schemes are also likely to be completed during 2006-2007.

The remaining 13 schemes under state category, the one under EI category and one under new the ISC category scheme are likely to spill over beyond 10th Plan.

Details of the 33 schemes taken up under the three category of CRF are given in Annexure 3.2 enclosed.

3.8 Programme under RIDF

Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) is a loan scheme of the Centre for infrastructure development in rural areas. It is administered through the National Bank of Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD).

Under different tranches of RIDF loans from RIDF V to RIDF-XI, the PWD Arunachal Pradesh took up 22 road and bridge projects at a total cost of Rs.238.83 crores, with a loan component of Rs.198.71 crores. Out of these, 7 projects costing Rs.34.62 crores (with a loan component of Rs.27.24 crores) have been completed and the remaining 14 schemes are in different stages of completion with one scheme being abandoned. Some 6 schemes will be completed during 2006-2007. As many as 8 schemes are expected to spill over beyond 10th Plan with financial implication of Rs.37.69 crores. Details of the sanctioned RIDF projects are enclosed as Annexure: 3.3.

3.9 Other minor programme Besides above normal programmes under 5054 & 3054 Road and Bridge sector under State Plan, some minor road and bridge schemes are also taken up under 12

State Plan through funding from the Department of Tirap & Changlang (DOTC). The scheme selected are need based and planned for completion within a year and should normally not spill over. However, it is seen that priorities and investment decisions change with change of Legislators.

CIVIL AVIATION SECTOR

3.10 Landing grounds and helipads

PWD also undertakes construction works of landing ground and helipad under Civil Aviation sector with funds administered by Civil Aviation Department. During the 10th Plan period upto 2005-2006 budget coverage to the tune of Rs.322.01 lacs (Eastern Zone only) was received. 13

IV 10TH PLAN PROGRAMMES UNDER EXTERNAL FUNDING-PERFORMANCE REVIEW

4.1 Programme under external funding Under external funding outside the State Plan the following programmes were taken up during 10th Plan.

1) North Eastern Council (NEC) 2) Non-lapsable Central Pool of Resources (NLCPR) 3) National Highways 4) Special Accelerated Road Development Programme 5) Additional Central Assistance 6) Project Specific Assistance 7) Rashtriya Swam Vikash Yojana (RSVY)

4.2 NEC Programme Completed projects. Till the end of 8th Plan as many as 17 projects in Arunachal Pradesh covering 1 bridge and 16 roads with aggregate length of 1272.40 Km had been completed combinely by the PWD and BRO under funding from NEC. Details of the roads are enclosed as Annexure: 4.1.

Maintenance obligation. Over the years, some cross transfers of roads have taken place between the PWD and BRO. A few roads have also been included under General Staff (GS) road programme of the Defense Ministry. Thus at the end of 10th Plan (2002-2007) there will be 12 completed NEC roads in Arunachal Pradesh with total length of 680.00 Km and maintenance obligation of Rs.12.25 crores per annum (taking the maintenance yardstick @ Rs.1.80 crores per Km per year based on the norms as recommended by the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways).

9th Plan projects. During the 9th Plan as many as four road projects were taken up. The details are given in Table 4.2 below. Of these the first project has been completed. The remaining three projects taken up under the Prime Minister’s Initiative for NE region shall be completed by March 2007.

10th Plan projects. Under 10th Plan initially 13 projects were identified for Survey & Investigation. The list is enclosed as Annexure:4.2. Of these finally only four projects were shortlisted as given in Table 4.2 below. One of the possible reasons for heavy decrease in the number of projects finally selected from the list earlier approved for S & I works could be NEC’s preponderance with interstate category of projects over economic importance category. Out of the four projects finally approved, EFC clearances have been obtained in respect of the first two projects. As regards, the remaining two projects, EFC clearance from GOI are still under process. All these four projects are likely to spill over beyond 10th Plan.

4.3 National Highway Present programme. The coverage of NH programme in Arunachal Pradesh is rather poor. The total length of the three existing National Highways in the State viz. NH-52, NH-52A and NH-153 is limited to 419.33 Km. Of this 386.81 Km covering NH-52 and NH-52 is under the BRO and the remaining 32.52 Km pertaining to NH-153 is under PWD. The details are given in Table 4.3 below.

Originally the NH-52A was under State PWD. Subsequently it was transferred to BRO under a directive from the then Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST), now MOSRT&H.

Later the NH-153 covering a part of the old Stillwell Road from Jairampur to Pangshu Pass has been entrusted to PWD Arunachal Pradesh. The works are being executed through Direct Payment system. Barring the construction of bridges, the other works covering cross drainage structure and widening and pavement are in an advanced stage. The total outlay received against this work till March 2006 works out to Rs.16.19 crores. The details of works undertaken against NH-153 are given in Annexure: 4.3.

4.4 Projects under NLCPR

The Non-lapsable Central Pool of Resources is a facility under the Central Government created by pooling of the resources of the Central Ministries/Department accrued due to shortfall in expenditure from the mandatory 10% of the gross budgetary support (GBS) to be utilized in NE region. During the financial year 2005-2006, the Ministry of DONER sanctioned 13 road and bridge projects to a total cost of Rs.17988.30 crores under NLCPR. Proposals have been submitted for obtaining confirmatory AA & ES of the State Government. Tendering and mobilization processes have been initiated. Actual implementation of these schemes will begin in earnest from the current FY. Thus all these projects are likely to spill over beyond 2006-07. The details of the projects are enclosed as Annexure:4.4.

17

4.5 Projects under SARDP-NE

Programme and phases. The Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for the North Eastern Region (SARDP-NE) is a new initiative of the Central Government for development of road infrastructure in NE region, covering both NH and state roads.

The programme originally consisted of three phases viz. A, B and C. Phase A consisted of programme for four laning or two laning of selected stretches of existing NH network to be undertaken through the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) as BOT projects. Under Phase B all district headquarters and the state capitals in the North-East are to be linked by double lane or improved single lane roads to the nearest National Highway network. As many 11 road and bridge projects from Arunachal Pradesh with aggregate length of 1757 Km and at total projected cost of Rs.1757 crores were included under Phase B. The list is enclosed as Annexure: 4.5. Of these three roads of length 92 Km belonged to the PWD while the remaining roads and bridges were GS roads under BRO.

The Phase C programme consisted originally of the 8 roads in border areas of Arunachal Pradesh which had been submitted before the Foreign Secretary during his visit to Aruanchal Pradesh during 26 and 27 August, 2004. The original list of 8 roads of aggregate length 1243 Km including the Indo Myanmar road and two inter-basin roads estimated to cost Rs.1272 crores are enclosed under Annexure:4.6.

Later, one road under Phase C viz. Road from Lumla to Tashigaon via Dudumghar (36 Km) was transferred under Phase A. The remaining seven other projects of Phase C were finally merged with Phase B.

Non of the projects selected has however, been started on ground. There is lack of clarity about the agencies to take up the different projects. Mainly because of this the preparation of DPR has been slow.

18

4.6 Other programme

Besides the above programmes, some road construction are being taken up under One Time Additional Central Assistance and Special Plan Assistance. The schemes under these programmes are selected on a need based manner and are to be completed within a period of one year. Works have also been taken up under Rashtriya Swas Vikash Yojana (RSVY) programme in Upper Subansiri District. A few road and bridge projects were also taken up in Upper Subansiri District under funding from the Ministry of Tribal Welfare, GOI.

19

V. 11th PLAN PROGRAMMES – UNDER STATE SECTOR

ROAD & BRIDGE SECTOR 5.1 Focus areas

During 11th Plan the thrust will have to be on increasing the coverage of road network in the state, especially to those unconnected administrative centres and villages by raising the road density from the present level of 18.65 Km per 100 sq. Km. As per the goal of Road Development Vision 2020, it is proposed to step up the road density from the present level to 25 Km per 100 Sq. Km by 2020, the horizon year of the perspective plan. This would mean that by end of the perspective plan the State should possess a road length of 20936 Km. Thus, some 5317 Km of new roads (20936 - 15619) will have to be added by middle of the13th Plan. Then again, assuming equal distribution of new roads to be added over the three Five Year Plan periods viz. 11th, 12th, and 13th Plan, some 2127 Km of new roads will have to be constructed during 11th Plan. Further, taking the current share of PWD roads in the total road network in the state as the basis, (about 42.85%), the new constructions to be taken up under the State agency will work out to about 911 Km. Thus by the end of 11th Plan period the road density in the state is expected to go up to 21.19 Km/100 sq.km.

5.2 Projected size of 11th Plan

Against new projects. For 911 Km of new road the investment required will work out to around Rs.911 crore (taking a conservative rate of Rs.100 lakhs per Km). Then again about 30% of this is expected to be made available from external funding sources. Hence the actual budgetary provision required for construction of new roads and bridges under PWD through State Plan, during 11th Plan period, will work out to about Rs.638 crores.

For completion of spillover schemes. Then again considering the fact that a large number of 10th Plan schemes are expected to spill over to 11th Plan, an adequate resource support has to be made for completing the spillover schemes of 10th Plan. The details of fund requirement for completing these schemes are as follows: 20

a) For completion of last-mile schemes : Rs.19.03 crores (physical progress above 60%) b) For completion of balance spillover schemes: Rs.109.85 crores c) For completion of spillover schemes where Revised sanction is required: Rs.93.44 crores Total: Rs. 222.32 crores Say Rs.222.00 crores. Details can be seen from Annexure 3.1.

Improvement of existing deficient roads. On the other hand about 25% of the existing fair weather roads under the Department (about 3445 Km) will require improvement/upgradation to provide minimum connectivity with at least one layer of GSB or WBM, adequate number of CD structures and minimum required bridges. The total cost involved would work out to Rs.215 crore (taking @ 25.00 lakhs/Km). The total outlay required for 11th Plan will workout to Rs.215.00 crores.

5.3 Normal grant

The average allocation under unearmarked normal grants during 10th Plan stood at 36%. It may be pointed out that maintenance obligation, the spillover schemes from the previous plan periods are to be met up from normal grants. Hence there is a need to enhance the allocations under normal grants. Out of the estimated total outlay of Rs.1075.00 crores during 11th Plan it is propose that Rs.797.00 crore (74%) will be as normal grant.

5.4 CRF programme

Spillover projects. Incomplete schemes from 10th Plan, including 13 schemes under State category, one Inter State Connectivity (ISC) category and two of Economic Importance (EI) category, will spill over to 11th Plan. The details of schemes can be seen from Annexure 3.2. The fund requirement for completing the projects will work out to about Rs. 29.05 crores.

Resource base. As per the present trend with annual accrual standing at about Rs.16.22 crore (during 2005-06) the total availability of fund under CRF during 21

the 11th Plan period with an annual mark up of about 10%, is expected to be around Rs.123.00 crore. The balance of Rs.93.95 crore after meeting up the obligation towards completing the ongoing projects could be deployed for funding new projects.

New projects. Some 36 new schemes have been identified for funding under CRF. The list is enclosed as Annexure 5.1. It is expected that for future programme under CRF, schemes will be selected from this list.

5.5 RIDF Programme

Spillover projects. Out of the 22 ongoing schemes under RIDF, some 8 projects are expected spill over to 11th Plan. The financial implication would work out to a tune of about Rs.37.69 crores. Details can be seen from Annexure 3.3.

Resource base. The allocation in State Plan under RIDF has remained static at about Rs.28.00 crore each year. Taking a modest increment of 5% per year, the outlay under RIDF for 11th Plan could be assumed as Rs.155.00 crore. Thus the fund available for new projects, after meeting up the obligations for spill over projects from 10th Plan will work out to about Rs.117.31 crores.

New projects. A list containing new projects has been prepared for funding under RIDF. The projects selected for implementation during 11th Plan would be selected from this tentative list. The details are given in Annexure 5.2.

5.5 Total outlay and breakup

As seen from above the size of 11th Plan against R&B sector under State sector will work out to about Rs.1075.00 crores. Considering the present trend of funding for different programmes under State Plan the break of the outlay could be as follows :

(i) Free grant: Rs. 797.00 crore ( 74 %) (ii) CRF : Rs.123.00 crore ( 11%) (iii) RIDF loan etc: Rs. 155.00 crore (15 %)

22

5.7 Phasing of outlay

The total outlay of Rs.1075.00 crore for 11th Plan is proposed to be phased over five Annual Plans as follows:- (Rs. crores) Annual Plan Total 2007- 2008- 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2008 2009 Funding 1) Normal 797.00 130.00 144.00 158.00 174.00 191.00 grant

2) CRF 123.00 20.27 22.20 24.39 26.76 29.38 3) RIDF 155.00 28.45 29.42 31.46 32.25 33.42 Total: 1075.00 178.72 195.62 213.85 233.01 253.80

23

VI. 11TH PLAN - EXTERNALLY FUNDED PROGRAMME

6.1 Besides the normal programme under State Plan, an increasing number of projects under Transport and Communication sector are being funded through Central programmes like NH, NEC, NLCPR, SARDP-NE etc. During 11th Plan funding through the Central programmes will come to play a vital role in the development of infrastructure under T&C sector.

6.2 Road & Bridge projects under NEC

The North Eastern Council will continue to play an important role in building roads and bridges in Arunachal Pradesh during 11th Plan. The main focus of the programme will be completion of spill over schemes. Besides these, a few priority green field projects will also be initiated during the Plan period.

Ongoing schemes. All the ongoing projects from 9th Plan are proposed to be completed before the onset of 11th Plan. On the other hand all the four projects initiated during 10th Plan projects are likely spill over to 11th Plan. Of these, two projects viz. Interstate road from Laimekuri in Assam to Nari-Telam-Rema camp (65 Km - 61 Km in AP) and Upgradation of Pasighat-Ledum-Tene-Koyu road (60 Km) are in progress. The remaining two roads viz. Upgradation of Pengri- Namchik-Mahadevpur road (40 Km) and Seppa-Chayangtajo road (81 Km) are yet to receive EFC. The financial involvement for completion of these four projects from 10th Plan will be around Rs.191.17 crores.

New projects identified. Apart from the above works, some 18 new road projects have been identified for inclusion under 11th Plan of NEC. The list is enclosed as Annexure 6.1. The total projected cost of these 18 new roads would work out to Rs.1042.40 crores. The final selection of the new R&B projects to be taken up during 11th Plan of the Council could be done on the basis of this list.

A need for change in approach for selection of projects. As a selection criteria, the NEC gives priority on inter state road projects over roads of economic importance. As a general policy objective the approach of NEC could be considered as admirable. However, when seen against practical needs on ground, the flaw in the Council’s policy becomes apparent. Under the present 24 dispensation the number of projects that can be sanctioned against a given state will depend on how many and how long are the interstate boundaries shared by the state with its neighbours. More the number of neighbouring states and larger the length of boundaries shared, more would be the projects and plan allocations likely to accrue to the state. Besides above population of a state is also taken as one of the criteria for deciding the size of investment package. Under this scenario, Assam being in the hub of the NE region and with highest population stands to cover the maximum number of projects. And that is what has been happening in the past and likely to continue unless there is a paradigm shift in the funding pattern of the NEC.

For a vast state like Arunachal Pradesh having an area of 84743 sq.km. and distance between the eastern and western tips being over 600 km and expanse of territory from foothills to the international border being more than 150 km, preponderance with interstate nature of projects will restrict the location of schemes only to the areas in the vicinity of the interstate border with Assam with which it shares boundary of over 700 km. Thus, under this situation other parts of the state specially those towards the border areas will never be able to benefit from development initiatives under NEC. Hence, there is a need to have a fresh look on the interstate concept and base the selection of projects on more realistic parameters like economic importance, as is being done for new member state of Sikkim.

Resource base and phasing

Taking the outlay of Rs.269.03 crores under Transport and Communication sector during 10th Plan as the base and adopting a modest mark up of 15% the resource base for Arunachal Pradesh under 11th Plan of NEC could be taken as Rs.310.00 crores. This may be phased over five Annual Plans as follows:

2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 Total

46.00 53.00 61.00 70.00 80.00 310.00

25

6.3 Development of Airports under NEC The funding for development of airports in Arunachal Pradesh during 11th Plan is expected to be done jointly under the NEC and the AAI as done in the case of other projects in NE region during 10th Plan and earlier.

Ongoing projects. The two airports at Pasighat and Tezu for 50 seater aircrafts, taken up during 9th Plan were subsequently abandoned with further funding stopped for want of EFC clearance. These two airports will have to be revived and completed during 11th Plan. The updated expected completion cost of the two airports will be about Rs.19.40 crores for Tezu airport and Rs.27.40 crores for Pasighat airport.

New projects. The thrust for development in Civil Aviation sector in the State, however, will be focused on establishment of a new airport near Itanagar, roughly expected to cost around Rs.200 crores. Supports will also be necessary for S&I and consultancy services.

There will also be need to explore the possibility and viability for development of new airports at other potential sites like at Yiklet near Yingkiong in Upper Siang district and Roing in Lower Dibang Valley.

Improvement of existing landing grounds. The existing landing grounds at Ziro, Daporijo, Along, Mechuka, Tuting, Alinye and Vijaynagar, which had earlier been air linked with services of Vayudoot through 20 seater. Dornier aircrafts, also need to be improved with better infrastructure support for operation of hopping services with small capacity fixed winged planes that will supplement the service of the present air network in the NE region with 50 seater ATR crafts.

6.4 Bus/Truck Terminus & Transit facilities under NEC With Arunachal Pradesh being solely dependent on road network for communication, provision of terminal and way side facilities are important needs of the road users. Presently there is near complete lack of such facilities.

26

Interstate Bus/Truck Terminus. The 10th Plan of NEC had a provision of Rs.3.03 crores was made for construction of interstate bus terminus (ISBT) at Itanagar. However, it could not be utilized mainly for want of suitable land. But the bus/truck terminals are essential needs that the State capital town can hardly do without…. The proposal will have to be revived during 11th Plan. The cost of proposed ISBT to be located at Itanagar or Naharlagun will work out to about Rs.10.00 crores.

Wayside amenities. We need wayside amenities with hygienic eating places and clean comfort facilities at the 17 entry gates located at isolated places viz. Balemu, Foothills, Bhalukpong, Seijosa, Balijan, Hollongi, Gumto, Kimin, Likabali, Ruksin, Santipur, Sunpura, Dirok gate, namchik gate, Namdang gate, Hukanjuri and Ranglua. The cost of providing these transit facilities will work out to about Rs.8.50 crores.

6.5 National Highway One of the major goals of 20 Years’ Road Plan of India (Lucknow Plan 1980- 2000), was to bring every part of the country within the distance of 50 Km from a National Highway. Under this scenario, the NH network in Arunachal Pradesh would work out to a minimum length of 1675 Km. Against this backdrop the three NHs in the State, viz. NH-52, NH-52A and NH-153 have a combined length of 419.33 Km only. Then again the existing NH network covers only a small fringe area of the State close to the border with Assam.

A ban on declaration of new NH during 10th Plan prevented any signified effort towards proposing new NH in the state. Hence, during the 11th Plan period efforts will have to be intensified to increase the coverage of NH network in the State. The target length of NH in the state at the end of 11th Plan could be pegged at 850 Km, twice the present length. The thrust will be on inter district connectivity and better linkage from NH-52, running along the north bank of Brahmaputra in Assam.

East-West Highway. Construction of East-West Highway, a National Highway within the territory of Arunachal Pradesh providing inter-district connectivity is a long cherished dream of the people in the State. The importance of this road 27

has also been reflected in Shukla Commission Report (1996-1997). A concept note on this proposal was submitted to the Government of India. The proposal envisages a National Highway running in east-west direction along the middle belt of the State covering areas with higher concentration of population and more productivity in terms of agriculture and horticulture.

The project consists of two sectors viz. (i) Western sector and (ii) Eastern sector. The Western sector will cover the road stretch starting from Balipara on NH-52 in Assam and terminating on NH-52 at Pasighat in East Siang district covering important places like Bhalukpong, Nichipu, Seppa, Sagalee, Doimukh, Nirjuli (Itanagar), Yazali, Ziro, Daporijo, Along and Pangin over a distance of about 939 Km. The Eastern sector, on the other hand, will cover a length of 320 Km from Mahadevpur on NH-52 to Bimlapur in Assam via Bordumsa, Namchik, Jairampur, Changlang, Khonsa, Longding and Ranglua. Details of different segments under the two sectors of the East-West Highways envisaged are shown in Annexure 6.2 enclosed.

The new NH will be developed by upgrading the existing road network of ODR and MDR categories to NH standards, and constructing bridges over missing water gaps where required. The total cost of the project at today’s price level is estimated to be around Rs 1510.80 crores.

The upgradation work is proposed to be taken up in phases and stages starting from Itanagar towards Seppa via Sagalee, Rilo, Pijirang etc. and Itanagar to Ziro via Hoj and Yazali. It is proposed that both the segments will be submitted before the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways for declaration as NH during 11th Plan.

6.6 Road & Bridge projects under NLCPR

Sanctioned projects. As many 13 road and bridge projects were sanctioned by the Ministry of DONER under Non-lapsable Central Pool of Resources (NLCPR) during 2005-2006 and fund to the extant of Rs. 5.077 crores (about 30% of the total cost) was released as first instalments. The expenditure till the end of 2006-2007 is expected to be limited to releases under first instalment. The 28

balance works costing about Rs.12.91 crores will spill over to 11th Plan. The list of sanctioned schemes can be seen from Annexure 4.4.

New works proposed. A list of 31 new schemes with total projected cost of Rs.895.27 crore has been forwarded by the State Government to Ministry of DONER, Government of India. A copy is enclosed as Annexure 6.3. This list will form the basis for further selection of projects under NLCPR during 11th Plan.

6.7 Projects under SARDP-NE The projects in Arunachal Pradesh under the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in NE region (SARDP-NE) formulated in 2004-2005 is yet to take off. With preparation of DPRs yet to gather momentum, all the projects under the programme are expected to spill over to 11th Plan. Detailed list of the projects under SARDP-NE can be seen from Annexure 4.5 & 4.6. The total financial implication involved for implementing SARDP-NE, Phases A & B, will work out to about Rs.1802.00 crores.

Pending decision on implementing agencies. The question on the implementing agency or the agencies to be entrusted with the works under SARDP-NE is yet to be fully resolved.

The Government of Arunachal Pradesh was of the view that execution of the projects should be entrusted to both the BRO and State PWD on a principle of as-is-where-is basis, with the respective owner agency carrying out the work pertaining to the road (or the portion of a road) under the agency concerned. In the case of green field projects which are yet to be started the work could be entrusted to BRO.

On the other hand, the GOI, seems to have intended that the entire programme would be placed solely under the BRO.

BRO’s capacity overstretched. It may be noted that BRO is already heavily engaged with construction roads under the General Staff and China Study Group programmes of the Ministry of Defence (MOD). It is also involved with upgradation works of a number of National Highways like NH-52, NH-52A etc. under the MOSRT&H. Thus the ability of BRO to take up additional workloads 29

under SARDP-NE is debatable. Moreover, since it is the avowed objective of the Central Government to decentralize development activities in the country, participation of the state agencies in implementation of SARDP-NE, an important programme of GOI for infrastructure development in NE region, could be a major step towards mainstreaming of a fringe state like Arunachal Pradesh.

The issues involved need to be resolved if need be with the intervention of the PMO.

6.8 Border Trade Routes In the past, limited cross border trading activities were carried out generally under barter system through various traditional land routes between Arunachal Pradesh and the neighbouring countries like Bhutan, Tibet and Burma. However, trade through these routes could not be sustained mainly due to non- existence of required support facilities, poor condition of roads, and, to an extent, due to souring of relationship among the neighbouring countries. Now in the backdrop of changing global economic scenario, there is an emerging need to re-open these trade routes. There are seven such identified trade routes between India and the three neighbouring countries which could be reopened with enabling conditions as good roads and necessary cross border facilities. The list is enclosed as Annexure 6.4. An investment to the tune of about Rs.173.00 crore would be required for developing necessary communication facilities to these potential cross border trade centres.

6.9 Roads to Tourist Destinations Approved Travel Circuits. There are eight approved tourist circuits in Aruanchal Pradesh. The main routes and their extensions and spurs serving these circuits require various improvement and upgradation measures. Some of these improvement needs are covered under different programmes like NH, CRF, SARDP-NE etc. The approximate cost for undertaking construction, improvement or upgradation of roads pertaining to these approved tourist circuits will work out to around Rs.1477.30 crores. The details of these routes are given in Annexure 6.5.

30

Identified new Travel Circuits. As many as six prospective new Tourist Circuits have been identified. They cover areas which are not covered by the existing approved circuits. These new circuits are expected to supplement and enhance the tourist flow into the state by enlarging the available options. The detailed list of the proposed new Tourist Circuit are given in Annexure 6.6.

6.10 Urban roads The urban population has grown at a accelerated rate of 158% during 1981-91 (against a national average of 36.09%) and 101.29% during 1991-2001. This high growth rate could reflect a phenomenon of in-migration of people from the rural areas to the urban pockets in search of better facilities of health, education, commercial and socio-economic activities. It could also indicate an influx from outside the State, particularly in Itanagar and Naharlagun, which have recorded high decadal growth rates of 111.36 % and 87.31% during 1981- 1991 and 1991-2001, respectively. Such influxes into the urban locations has necessitated the improvement and upgradation of the existing road infrastructure of the Urban Centres.

Declared Urban Centres. The Government of Arunachal Pradesh has notified 22 towns as Urban Centres viz. Tawang, Bomdila, Dirang, Seppa, Sagalee, Itanagar Capital Complex including Naharlagun, Nirjuli, Doimukh and Banderdewa, Ziro, Daporijo, Basar, Along, Pasighat, Yingkiong, Roing, Tezu, Namsai, Hawai, Khonsa, Deomali, Jairampur, Changlang, Miao and Longding. The total length of roads in these Urban Centres works out to 559.07 Km. The cost for improving the existing roads along with development of side drains, footpath etc. works out to Rs. 335.44 crores Lakhs taking @ Rs.60 Lakhs per Km. The details are given in Annexure 6.7.

Potential Growth Centres. Then again, 30 other potential Growth Centres have been identified in the State. The investment required for improving the existing road network in these Potential Growth Centres aggregating to a total length of 168.38 Km will work out to about Rs.101.03 crores. The details are given in Annexure 6.8.

31

Need for designated fund. So far the efforts toward creation of urban road infrastructure have been taken up from State Plan through funding under normal grants or CRF. With increasing demand for urban infrastructure development and maintenance of roads in urban centres may be undertaken against designated funds.

6.11 Roads to uncovered areas The road development in Arunachal Pradesh has been generally centered around the needs of the higher populated areas in the periphery of the capital towns, the district headquarters and other administrative centres. On the other hand, the priority of roads in border areas constructed by BRO is dictated by strategic needs of the defense forces. Thus many areas of the state in the remote border regions remain excluded from the road development initiative. Fund constraints under the State Plan is the main cause for this. Exclusion from the programme of the external funding agencies like the NEC, giving priority to projects of inter-state connectivity only, has also contributed to the problem.

An attempt has been made to identify major road projects needed specially in the far flung border areas uncovered by existing programme. The list is enclosed as Annexure 6.9. Total length of the identified roads works out to 2803 km and the investment needed will be about Rs. 2819.70 crores.

The priority roads selected out of the list can also be considered under major programmes such as RIDF, NLCPR, CRF, NEC etc taken up in the future.

32

VII. CAPACITY BUILDING AND OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

7.1 Capacity building

The PWD, Arunachal Pradesh, the main construction agency under the State Government, lacks organizational strength in many critical areas. The department was first borne as the NEFA (North East Frontier Agency), PWD in the fifties. Subsequently the infant organization with limited technical manpower merged with the CPWD. The organization was reborn in the eighties and started functioning as wing of CPWD. Later with Arunachal Pradesh attaining Statehood in 1987 the PWD came off age and started functioning independently. Since then the organization has not undergone any major expansion or capacity building measure over these 19 years of its existence although it has been successfully discharging the role of the main state construction agency. Therefore, there are many areas related to its operations where capacity building is necessary. Some of the immediate and unavoidable needs of the department are outlined below.

a. Chief Engineer (Design & Quality Control). Not having a designated design unit, the department is totally dependent on outsourced consultancy services for any design solution. To remove this weakness of the department it is urgently necessary to set up an independent design unit under it. The unit will be manned by qualified personnel trained in Structural Engineering, and equipped with necessary computation facilities.

There is also a need to set up an independent Quality Control unit equipped with well established laboratory facilities and managed by trained manpower. The unit will help the department to ensure quality inputs in planning and execution of projects. This unit will supplement the function of the design unit.

It is, therefore, suggested that the Government may like to consider setting up an independent Design & Quality Control under establishment of Chief Engineer (Design & Quality Control).

b. Chief Engineer (Investigation and Planning). The department also needs to build up capacity in planning works supported by persons 33

specialized in Traffic & Transportation Engineering, Earthquake Engineering, Safety Engineering etc.

Then again, for major projects like highways, major bridges and airports, there would be needs for proper investigation by personnel specialized in the field and using state of the art equipment. Presently the PWD is completely dependent on outside agencies for any investigation works. This causes delay in formulation and hence implementation of projects. To overcome this dependency syndrome, an independent Investigation wing is necessary.

An independent Investigation and Planning unit could thus be established and placed under Chief Engineer (Investigation and Planning). c. Chief Engineer (Central Zone). Then again, in order to improve the general efficiency of project implementation by the PWD we need to strengthen the implementation wing of the department. Thus a third working zone, namely Central Zone could be created to carry out infrastructure development activities in the central districts covering Papum Pare, Lower Subansiri, Kurung Kumey and Upper Subansiri. The Circles and Divisions under the Zones could be oriented accordingly. The headquarters of the Central Zone could be located at Nirjuli or Itanagar, Yupia. d. Engineer in Chief. Over the years, there has been a general need for coordination in the planning and works management under PWD. Presently the planning process under Communication sector is done by the Chief Engineer (Eastern Zone) while the Building sector is handled by Chief Engineer (WZ). This is a stop gap arrangement which often fails to work satisfactorily. Similarly in the matter of budgeting, appropriation and re-appropriation of account and while interacting with the functionaries and agencies of the government of India, and other agencies, the need for a singular coordinating authority is felt.

Though the office of Commissioner (PWD) is expected to provide general administrative support and coordination, it has its own limitation 34

especially in works organization and management. Hence for better coordination of works organization; control of work management including formulation and implementation of projects, quality control of works, monitoring and evaluation of schemes; proper budget regulation including appropriation and re-appropriation of accounts etc., it is suggested that a coordinating and controlling head in the form of Engineer-in- Chief, or Principal Chief Engineer, as existing in the PWDs of the majority of the States in the country including those in the North Eastern Region like Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, may be established. For matters relating to day to day functioning of the department the Chief Engineers will function under the Engineer-in-Chief.

7.2 Adoption of intermediate specification

Many of the villages in Arunachal Pradesh are not only remote but also have small populations. As per census 2001 over 76% of villages in the state have population less than 250, the threshold population for covering a village under PMGSY programme in desert or hilly states or areas. Thus the present or anticipated traffic volume to these remote and thinly populated villages may not justify costly bituminized road. It may just be enough to provide all weather road with the required bridges, minimum number of culverts and rudimentary pavement consisting of granular sub-base layer only or one layer of WBM over GSB, properly laid and compacted with roller. Such graveled roads could be upgraded to bituminized surface in future when the traffic volume or the population crosses a pre-decided triggering point. Adoption of graveled surface for low traffic intensity road without using bituminized surface would not only result in cost saving but also be more environment friendly.

7.3 Mechanization of construction

Manual construction of roads in hills is not only slow but also costlier. A general lack of quality in works execution is also seen. On the other hand earthwork in road construction is faster, cheaper and better when executed by deploying equipment like bulldozer and mechanized shovel or loader. In view of this there is a need for a shift towards mechanized mode of road construction especially in 35

activities like formation cutting, embankment filling, laying of carpeting etc. Mechanization in road construction may be facilitated through a policy initiative with other measures in tandem that may include registration of contractors etc.

7.4 Maintenance needs

Mismatch between needs and availability of maintenance fund. As per norms of maintenance fixed by the earlier Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST), GOI, now Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways (MOSRT&H), the funds required for maintenance of roads in hills works out to Rs.1.10 lacs/Km for earthen/surfaced road, Rs. 3.50 lacs/Km for WBM and Rs.3.00 lacs/Km for bituminized surface roads. Thus, the total requirement of funds for maintenance of roads would work out to Rs.30.76 crores per year (considering 20% road length to be maintained annually}. Against this demand the maintenance resource available through apportionment of plan funds, under 5054 and 3054 Roads & Bridge sector, comes out to be barely Rs.15.00 crores per annum. On the other hand since the onset of 9th Plan PWD has not been receiving any non-plan fund for maintenance of road assets.

Utilization of funds under TFC award. In the light of above background funds for maintenance of roads accruing under the award of the Twelfth Finance Commission (TFC) was expected to provide great relief. With resource for material procurement coming through EFC grant and the labour component being supported through annual plan outlay it was hoped that the badly needed maintenance of road assets having remained neglected over the years could be taken care effectively. However, the TFC funds are being earmarked against specific roads in the line of plan allocation under State Plan. As a result of this roads in other areas of the State without earmarked allocation will starve of maintenance funds leading to obvious results. There is thus a need for more just and equitable method of allocating TFC grants for effective maintenance of roads.

Need for designated maintenance fund. There is also a need for designated maintenance funds to take special care of the maintenance of certain categories of roads like urban roads or roads linking administrative centres. Allocation of maintenance funds under Non-Plan should be revived.

36

7.5 Need for rationalisation of project selection method of NEC

The NEC’s preponderance on interstate nature of project as the rulling criteria for inclusion under its programme is lopsided and skewed. It severely restricts the options and is biased towards projects located close to the interstate boundaries with Assam, thus leaving all other candidate projects in the interiors of the state with minimal scope for coverage under the programme of the Council. This approach needs a paradigm shift during 11th Plan with equal emphasis given on economically important projects.

7.6 Need for equity in project selection

In the past development of road has been concentrated around the district headquarters and other administrative centres in the middle belt of the state with higher concentration of populations and development activities. For various reasons that include remoteness, difficult terrain and poor articulation of demands by the resident people, the distant areas especially those towards the international borders have continued to remain on the margin of road development initiatives of the government. Paradoxically road development towards the villages lying in the areas along the interstate border with Assam and Nagaland have also remained neglected.

Again, it is generally observed that various road development activities under designated funds like CRF and RIDF and external funding agencies like NEC, NLCPR etc. tend to crowd around some selected areas while other regions remain devoid of such programmes. There is a need for clear directives in the selection of schemes in a manner with equity. It is felt that prioritization process should be made mutually exclusive. If a project from a particular area is selected or prioritized under a given programme, no other project under other programmes should be taken up in that area till the first project is completed.

7.7 Transfer of works under Porter/Mule track under RWD

As per Business Allocation Rules of Arunachal Pradesh the subject of porter/mule tracks and foot bridges are placed under the RWD. However, inspite of several attempts at transfer of the subject to the designated nodal department the matter still remains unsettled, mainly for want of clear administrative 37

direction. This issue must be settled once for all during 11th Plan to improve accountability of the designated agency.

7.8 Registration of contractors

Registration of contractors is yet to be practiced in Arunachal Pradesh. Except execution of major works like bridges needing experience and expertise, which are awarded to capable contractors through competitive biddings, all other works are implemented departmentally or through petty contractors, unregistered and of unknown antecedents.

In the past participation of local people in development works was tacitly encouraged with a goal to provide them direct economic benefit. In the bygone years, when the construction works taken up were simple and practice of tendering was yet to be in vogue with the local contract industry still in infant stage, participation of general people in construction activities as petty contractors worked. But now that magnitude of works are becoming larger, the technical inputs and managerial skills needed are getting more complex, we have to opt more towards competitive biddings for award of works to experienced and able contractors having required financial capacity technical expertise and with required equipment and manpower.

Registration of contractors is a procedural requirement that will help to pre- identify different classes of companies, firms, individuals for undertaking various work values.

The State PWD therefore, must have to undertake registration of contractors. The process which was initiated in 2005-2006 must cultivate in actual registration process by beginning of 11th Plan.

7.9 Problem of excess labour

For various reasons including uncontrolled engagement of labourers over the years without assessing the real requirement, the PWD is now saddled with a very large labour force consisting of 3871 workcharged (WC) staff and 12826 casual workers (as per 31.03.2005) with annual labour wage bill running to over Rs.50.00 crores. This whopping labour wage bill is presently being met up mainly 38

through plan outlays against schemes both under Road & Bridge and Building sectors. Many of the sanctioned road and bridge and building schemes which have to bear the burden of labour wages ultimately get sick and become unviable. It is thus imperative that a solution be found for reducing the unsustainable labour force of the PWD.

7.10 Communitisation of road construction and maintenance activities

In the past many roads like Along-Likabali road, Along-Rumgong road, Road to Eyi village etc. and the landing ground at Along in the then undivided Siang district were constructed through community effort under initiative of the local administration. Similarly in the undivided Tirap district too, roads like Naharkatia-Khonsa, Khonsa-Changlang etc. were built through community effort again with the local administration playing a pivotal road. The different stretches of initial earth cutting works were earmarked against different villages for execution through voluntary labour with minimal support provided by the government in the form of implement, ration etc. Thus the initial efforts of the local community helped to open up many of the important present day roads. Though the other components of the roads like CD structure, bridge, pavement etc. were subsequently completed by the Government agencies like CPWD, BRO, PWD etc. the initial contribution of the local people was crucial. An effort could now be made to revive the old tradition of community participation in building of public assets.

Then again, the occurrence of critical requirement of manpower for road maintenance in the hills of Arunachal Pradesh is sporadic or periodical. Thus, instead of maintaining a large labour force on a continuous basis with heavy wage bill obligations we could make an arrangement for periodical engagement of workers from nearby villages for maintenance of identified stretches of roads during specific periods of the year or at the times of emergency. A standing dry roll of villagers willing to work on periodical engagement could be maintained.

This communitisation of road construction and maintenance could also be made possible through Panchayati Raj institutions and by dovetailing with various employment generation and poverty alleviation programme like Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme of the GOI. 39
