INTRODUCTION A. Background 1. Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) with a sector project loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein after referred as ‘The Project’. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) shall be the Implementing Agency (IA) and the State Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) shall be the executing agency for the Project. A project management unit (PMU) created under MPUDC is implementing MPUSIP. 2. The Resettlement Framework (RF) for MPUSIP outlines the objectives, policy principles and procedures for land acquisition, if any, compensation and other assistance measures for Displaced Persons1 (DPs)/Affected Persons (APs), if any. 3. An entitlement matrix, consistent with the existing norms and guidelines of the country and the state government, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement has been prepared to cover losses identified in this Project. The matrix recognizes that the lack of title/customary rights recognized under law will not be a bar to entitlement and has special provisions for non-titled persons. 4. Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Program (MPUSIP) proposed to be funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB) envisages provision of sustainable water services to 128 tier II towns in the State. Some of these towns will also be provided with comprehensive sewerage and storm water management services. The State Urban Development and Environment Department is the Executing Agency while the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC) Limited is the implementing agency for the Program. B. Project Description 5. MPUSIP. As per revised procurement plan, MPUSIP’s physical components include (a) improvements to water supply scheme in 69 subproject towns, and (b) sewage collection and treatment services proposed in four (4) identified towns namely Saikheda, Sanawad, Anjad and Badwaha under tranche I while in tranche II – water supply scheme in 59 subproject towns and sewage collection and treatment services proposed in seven towns namely Sanchi, Dhamnod, Mandsaur, Jabalpur (part-II), Maihar, Khajuraho and Rajnagar. The project also includes an institutional strengthening component and a project management and administrative support component. The objective of the proposed improvements in subproject towns is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The project proposals envisage providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The main objectives of the project are as follows: (i) Supplying pure drinking water. (ii) Promote sustainable measures to increase potable water supply to the population. (iii) Water supply through future sustainable source developments. 1 In the context of involuntary resettlement, displaced persons are those who are physically displaced (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and/or economically displaced (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of (i) involuntary acquisition of land, or (ii) involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers them whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary. 2 (iv) Water supply through improvements of safe yield of existing water sources. (v) Water supply through improvements to water treatment works. (vi) Drinking water supply contributes towards a sustainable regional development. (vii) To improve the current state of the water cycle of subproject towns through improvements in the separate components of the water supply system in investment program. C. Scope of this Report 6. This draft involuntary resettlement (IR) due diligence report (DDR) is prepared for the proposed group water supply scheme for the towns of Saikheda, Salichauka and Chichli in district Narsinghpur. The proposed subproject components include: construction of water intakes, water treatment plant (WTP), storage reservoirs (elevated), new pipe laying or pipe replacement (usually along public roads). The proposed subproject will focus on metered water supply for domestic, institutional and commercial users, including water resource identification and treatment, water storage tanks, distribution pipes and metered connections to each household in project towns covering a total population of 39,368 as per Census of India-2011. The estimated population for the design year 2048 is 69,912. All the municipal wards of the subproject towns are covered under the Project. 7. A due diligence process was conducted to examine the land acquisition and resettlement issues in detail, in line with ADB SPS 2009. This report describes the findings and provides copies of relevant documents, resolutions, minutes of meetings and photographs. This land acquisition and resettlement due diligence report needs to be read along with the Resettlement Framework prepared for MPUSIP. 8. Although, IR impacts will be reconfirmed again after completion of detailed design and detailed measurement surveys (DMS) which will be conducted based on the detailed design by Design Build & Operate (DBO) Contractor before initiation of civil works during implementation.2 The final IR report will be reviewed and disclosed on website of urban local body (ULB), IA and ADB.
