The EA has established the Program Management Unit (PMU) to execute, manage and monitor the implementation of the Investment Executing Agency Program, and provide overall policy directions. PMU has the mandate to closely supervise and monitor every component under the Program. For the execution of work, Project Implementation Unit has been established at Bhagalpur. Monitoring Period July to December 2018 Covered Page | ii Semi-annual Social Monitoring Report Executive Summary 1. Bihar Urban Development Investment Program (BUDIP) is financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). Each tranche constitutes a separate loan. BUDIP will also assist the urban local bodies (ULB) of the two towns - Bhagalpur and Gaya in bringing about operational discipline and structure which will ensure sustainable operation and maintenance(O&M). 2. The overall BUDIP undertaking is scheduled over a nine-year. The first loan 2861- IND is for a 5 year period. The initial loan closing date was 30 June 2017 which has been extended up to December 31; 2021. The total value of BUDIP is $286 million. The MFF is for a loan amount not exceeding $ 200 million. Loan 2861-IND is for an amount of $ 65 million. 3. The objective of BUDIP is to contribute to the “sustainable economic growth through improved quality of urban life”. It is to improve the urban environment and living conditions in targeted urban areas in Bihar by (i) improving and expanding urban infrastructure and services in four towns; and (ii) strengthening urban institutional, management and financial capacity of the urban local bodies (ULBs). The investment program will improve and expand the water infrastructure in Bhagalpur and Gaya as well as the development of the sewerage system in Gaya. 4. Tranche I of BUDIP- (Loan 2861– IND) is under implementation. The proposed sub-project components for Bhagalpur Water Supply Project -1 (BWSP1) includes (i) rehabilitation of the Barari Water Works and refurbishment of water treatment plant (WTP); (ii) construction of 19 overhead service reservoir (OHSR); (iii) rehabilitation of four existing OHSR; (iv) laying of 460 kilometers (km) of clear water distribution mains; (v) metered household service connections (HSC) (approximately 68,000 connections until 2019) covering all the District Metering Areas (DMA) and customer care centre (one centre for every 10,000 connections including a central control centre)1. The design-build-operate (DBO) contract has been awarded to PIRH - Ranhill India consortium and contractor has been mobilized since October 2014. 5. The social safeguard categorization for this subproject is B for Involuntary resettlement (IR) and C for Indigenous People (IP). The Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 is applicable to the project. 6. Till the end of the monitoring period,the Detailed Measurement Survey(DMS) has been conducted for 19 OHSRs sites and 386.72 km of pipeline.The DMS has confirmed that there would be no land acquisition as 15 sites belong to Government of Bihar (GoB) and Bhagalpur Municipal Corporation (BMC) while four belong to trust / Samiti / committee or religious institution and no-objection certificate (NOC) / undertaking has been obtained. It would, however, be pertinent to note that one OHSR was earlier proposed at Kawali Maidan, Hussainabad, Mughalpura site belonging to Urs committee. The NOC for the construction of OHSR was also obtained from the said committee but later on, the committee denied the permission to construct the OHSR. The site has now been moved to a nearby place and NOC has been obtained from GoB vide Memo No.- 3549, dated- 03.11.2018. 7. However, one site belonging to the Housing Board had had permanent resettlement impact on two squatter households. The two affected households have been compensated as per the agreed resettlement plan and already reported in previous SMRs.The DMS has also confirmed that no impact on land, structure and livelihood is expected due to the laying of the distribution pipeline measuring 386.72 km. 8. The scope of land acquisition and resettlement was further ascertained through field visits to the identified subproject sites and alignments. Sincere efforts have been made during finalization of the detailed design of the project components to avoid or minimize resettlement impact through careful design of the major portion of pipe alignments for water supply distribution through available government land and existing public road right of way (RoW), avoidance of land acquisition and selection of sites and alignment alternatives with none or minimal resettlement impact. 1Prior to approval of SIP, the number of OHSRs to be constructed was 16 whereas 326 km of distribution mains were to be laid and approximately 52,000 new houses were to be equipped with metered service connections.

  • Rural Electrification in Bihar: Progress and Ground Realities
    「インドにおける農村公的雇用保障プログラムが農村労働市場に与える影響」研究会中間報告書 Mid-Term Research Project Report （Project：Understanding the Impact of Employment Guarantee Programme on Labour Market in India） Rural Electrification in Bihar: Progress and Ground Realities Hisaya Oda College of Policy Science Ritusmeikan University and Yuko Tsujita Area Studies Center Institute of Developing Economies Abstract Rural electrification is one of top items on the development agenda for the government of India. Although rural electrification continues under the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Programme that began in 2005 and the government celebrates its accomplishment of electrifying one lakh (100,000) villages, there are serious challenges ahead. This paper, based on our survey in rural Bihar, reveals that the progress of rural electrification may not be as advanced as government statistics indicate. Many villages became de-electrified in the past when inadequate government-provided transformers failed due to insufficient capacity. Some villages were fortunate and have been re-electrified, but many have been left un-electrified; simply waiting for the government 1 to help has proved to be an ineffective solution. This paper also reports on the issue of illegal connections. Power theft has become rampant in rural areas. As rural electrification progresses, access to electricity is easier than before. Governance is weak in rural areas, so there is virtually no checking and monitoring system for electricity use. These factors motivate some villagers to access electricity illegally. The government’s program to provide electricity to all the villages and all the households in rural areas should not be slowed, but side effects such as illegal connections should be taken more seriously.

  • Arsenic Hot Spots Detected in the State of Bihar
    Annual Conference 2007, Royal Geographical Society, London Session key: BSG-session 3 29-31 August, 2007 Paper-5 Arsenic contaminated aquifers: a study of the Ganga levee zones in Bihar, India A.K.Ghosh1. S.K..Singh2, Nupur Bose3, S. Chaudhary4 1 Department of Environment and Water Management, A.N.College, Patna 2 Department of Environment and Water Management, A.N.College, Patna 3 Department of Geography, A.N.College, Patna, India 4 Department of Botany, T.M.Bhagalpur University, Bhgalpur, India ABSTRACT- 'In Bihar Plains, ground water is the most important source of drinking and irrigation water. The purpose of this interdisciplinary study, undertaken along the levee of river Ganga in the Mid Ganga Plain, was to determine the existence and intensity of arsenic contamination in aquifers being tapped for direct and indirect ingestion of the properties of the region’s ground water, in the four districts of Bihar [India], i.e., Patna, Bhojpur, Vaishali and Bhagalpur. The methodology involved formulation of a protocol for arsenic detection in ground water, use of Field Test Kits for initial detection, obtaining GPS coordinates of arsenic hotspots for spatial analysis of the problem, and confirmatory testing of arsenic hot samples by U.V., and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Water samples of 28000 private and government owned hand pumps were tested. Many arsenic hotspots were detected in all the four districts, the coordinates of which were recorded by GPS. Arsenic contamination up to 1861 ppb. was found in the western district of Bhojpur, against the W.H.O. permissible limit of 10 ppb. The greatest frequency of contaminated hand pumps was noted in the eastern district of Bhagalpur.
