1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Bihar State Road Development Corporation BSRDC, Government of Bihar is presently implementing Bihar State Highway-II project under Asian Development Bank assistance to strengthen and rehabilitate the deteriorated state roads and upgrade some newly declared state roads to provide reliable road transport services in the state. The subproject road section (SH-78) falling under Bihar State Highways II Project has been distinctively divided into 2 segments separated by NH 30A. The first segment i.e. Bihta– Daniyawan stretch falls in Patna District and the other stretch i.e. Chandi - Sarmera is under Nalanda District. The length of first segment (Bihta-Daniyawan of SH-78) is 46.7 km. This Road begins at Kanhauli with Junction of Bihta-Shivala Road(MDR), which is 4.5 km far away from NH-30 at Bihta and connecting to NH-30A(Ch 7+220) at Daniyawan. The other stretch starts from NH30A at Chandi about 20km away from the end point of the first stretch and terminates at Sarmera; the junction with NH-82 traversing a distance of 47.5 km. Thus, the total length of the subproject section is 94.200 km. The civil contractor for this project is terminated by the client on dated 24.04.2014 and re- tender notice for civil contractor is issued by the client.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 This Semi-annual Report of RP Implementation is concerned with the sub-project road i.e. SH-78. The details of concerned sub-project are presented in Table-1, the RPs of which is being implemented as a part of project component:

Table 1: List of Sub-project Road and Length of BSHP II AF

Source: Resettlement Plan of concerned sub-project road, BSRDC 2.2 The existing Road of SH-78 is equal to 3.0 m wide or less. At most of the locations of existing road, villages or commercial markets were falling adjacent of the road. To minimize social impacts, broadly the new alignment of project is passing through green field area. But this new alignment is passing nearby the villages and commercial places. The Employer is acquiring land of 60 m ROW for construction of 4-lane in the future.

2.3 The purpose of adopting the new alignment is to reduce the social impact in its immediate environment to the maximum extent possible.

Social Monitoring Report (SMR) January-2018 to June-2018 Semi Annual 2018 Page 4 of 20

2.4 The condition of the existing road was poor as at many places the pavement was no more exists. There were villages in regular interval with many squatters and encroachers living or doing business along the road. They are facing problems in travelling to main town for commercial purposes as wastage of more time. New alignment is passing through green field area and parallel to existing alignment

2.5 Adequate attention has been given during feasibility and detailed project design phases of the project preparation to minimize the adverse impacts on land acquisition and resettlement impacts. Good Engineering practices have been adopted at the time of finalization of alignment keeping in mind resettlement impacts.

2.6 The proposed sub-project can be viewed as boosting economic growth and poverty reduction which will bring substantial social and economic development in the region. The social benefits arising due to the subproject will be triggered off due to improved accessibility to various services such as easy access to markets, health facilities, schools, workplaces etc which in turn increases the income of the locals, and ultimately improve their standard of living. After the completion of the project villages like Kanchanpur, Masaurhi, Saidanpur in Patna district and Parasi, Bhabanbigha, Susandi of Nalanda district will be connected road with the other parts of the district which are at present disconnected from the other parts of the district especially in the monsoon time.

4. APPOINTMENT AND MOBILIZATION OF NGO

Sugam International Santhan, Lucknow, an NGO has been hired for the implementation of RP. Contract of NGO for implementation of RP was signed on dated 08.03.2010 for 18 months. Two EOT has been granted to NGO to complete balance Resettlement work and EOT of NGO is valid up to September 2014.

But After September 2014, NGO is not doing any things related to RP Implementation.

5. RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS

The NGOs appointed for RP implementation, successfully working on the assignment as per TOR. Resettlement Plan Report, prepared at the time of detailed Design of the project was updated, keeping in mind the impact on population as per final design. At the time of updating of RP, verification of affected households was done by the NGOs. Accordingly, the final list of affected households was prepared in the process to update the list of affected people. As per updated list of APs, which will form the basis of preparation of Micro Plan, the details of Social Monitoring Report (SMR) January-2018 to June-2018 Semi Annual 2018 Page 6 of 20

6. COMMON PROPERTY RESOURCES AND RELOCATION STATUS Timely identification and relocation of common property resources through public consultation is important as public sentiments are attached to these resources. Due to sensitivity of these resources, it may be time-consuming too. The NGO has identified the 54 Nos. of CPRs. However, only 49 nos. of CPRs is mentioned in Updated Resettlement Plan. Out of 54 Nos. of CPRs only 35 CPRs need to be relocated immediately. NGO identified relocation site of 35 Nos. of CPRs. Details of CPRs verified by NGO and Supervision consultant are given in Table below:

The mechanisms should be “affordable and accessible,” and third parties independent of the implementers should be available at the appropriate point in the process. The grievance procedure need to be simple, administered in the first instance at the local level to facilitate access, flexibility and open to various proofs taking into account the need for speedy, just and fair resolution of their grievances.

17. ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS i. For RP implementation NGOs must be engaged for full time and on continuous basis until RP implementation is completed. Therefore, the demobilized of the NGO seems not feasible for proper implementation, keeping in view the work pending in project. ii. A qualified with proper experienced Resettlement Officer at PIU level on regular basis is compulsory for actual implementation and monitoring of RP Implementation and safeguards issues. iii. For actual implementation of Resettlement Plan (RP), the synchronization in mobilization of RP implementing Agency (NGOs) and CSC Social Expert is necessary. iv. Appointment of an Experienced NGO and or proper training to working NGO by the professional in the very beginning of the implementation work is a must for smooth and timely implementation of RP. v. A proper Identification and verification exercise of displaced persons and Micro plan should be prepared accordingly, which has provision of all the applicable entitlements in terms of compensation and allowances, make the RP implementation easy and smooth. vi. Before verification and Identification demarcation is very much required to avoid extra effort in future. vii. Before removing the structures payment and resettlement site should be completed.
