Project Description The Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN) is currently implementing the World Bank supported Second Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project II (TNRSP II) which is improving and maintaining, a part of the state’s Core Road Network. The GoTN has requested the World Bank for Additional Financing to scale up the project interventions in TNRSP II. The Additional Financing will provide extra resources to two sub-components under the parent project and support the introduction of four new sub- components. The AF will finance the upgrading of seven additional road sections with an approximate total length of around 110 km and the GoTN will fund the maintenance of the seven roads constructed during the project. The project has a renewed focus on road safety and shall provide institutional support for transport and logistics services. In addition, a zero budget CERC component has also been proposed. The Additional Financing has adopted framework approach provision under TNRSP II. The parent project’s Environmental Management Framework (EMF) is updated to Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) by incorporating the social safeguard measures, increase in scope of the TNRSP-II project through Additional Financing (AF), the lessons learnt from the implementation of TNRSP-II to date, the recommendations of guidance notes issued by the World Bank and recent amendments in environmental regulations. All the possible environmental impacts along with mitigation and management measures have been compiled in the ESMF. E 2. Purpose and use of ESMF The purpose of ESMF is to (a) provide a framework for managing environmental and social responsibilities efficiently by integrating the overall operations; (b) help in the management of environmental programs in a comprehensive, systematic, planned and documented manner;
