EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Project Description

1. The Public Works Department (MPWD), Government of Maharashtra, (GoM) is implementing the Maharashtra State Road Improvement Project (MSRIP) by rehabilitation and upgradation of State Highways (SH) and (MDR) across the state. The government of Maharashtra has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance the rehabilitation of 13 numbers of roads having total length of approximately 451.45 km across the state are proposed under MSRIP.

2. The subproject Road, Daund Karmala Paranda Barshi Osmanabad Road (Km 137/260 to 189/120) (SH 68) under EPC 4 is located in the District of , region. The length of the subproject road is 50.54 kilometer. The project aims to provide smooth traffic movement for the escalating traffic and enhance capacity and improved services to alleviate the likely capacity constraints to be generated after the future development in the region. The project on its implementation would increase the physical infrastructure and boost the economic growth in the region.

3. This Resettlement Plan (resettlement plan) has been prepared in compliance with the applicable State Government, Government of India, and ADB policy and legal framework. This project is considered as Category B1 for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) as per ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 because no person will experience significant impacts such as being relocated from housing or losing 10% or more of productive assets2 (income generating).

B. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

4. As per the technical design, most of the roadway will be improved to 2-lane width carriageway with paved shoulder varying from 14 to 20 meters. The existing Right of Way, as per the government records, is 15.0 to 24.0 meters. The proposed centerline is designed such that no land acquisition is required. The impact of Project is assessed through a census survey which covered loss of non-land assets and loss of livelihoods. As per survey findings, 19 structures owned by 19 households will be affected. All affected households are Non-titleholders. A full census survey was carried out to identify the persons who would be displaced by the project and the summary findings are presented in the following Table.

C. Socioeconomic Information and Profile

5. The social stratification of the project area shows the dominance of General Population with 14 (73.68%) households. There are 76 affected persons in total, which includes 43 (56.58%) male and 33 (43.42%) female. The average household size is 4. According to project census survey, there are 19 vulnerable households affected by the project. The educational status of DPs reveals that 9.86 % DPs are still illiterate in the project area.

D. Stakeholders Consultation and Participation

6. Public consultations were conducted at 4 locations attended by 48 persons (39 Males and 9 Female) in the project to ensure people’s participation during the project census survey. Aiming at promotion of public understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental problems such as local needs and problem and prospects of resettlement, various sections of DPs and other stakeholders were consulted through focus group discussions and individual interviews. Several additional rounds of consultations with DPs and communities will form part of the further stages of project preparation and implementation. MPWD will conduct these consultations during resettlement plan implementation. With the support of an implementation nongovernment organization (NGO). The consultation will involve disclosure on compensation, assistance options, and entitlement package measures suggested for the project.

7. To achieve transparency in the project and for further active involvement of DPs and other stakeholders, the project information will be disseminated through disclosure of resettlement planning documents. The EA will provide relevant resettlement information, including information from the above documents in a timely manner, in an accessible place and in a form and language(s) understandable to displaced persons and other stakeholders.

E. Legal Framework

8. The legal framework and principles adopted for addressing resettlement issues in the Project have been guided by the existing legislation and policies of the GoI, the GoM and ADB. Prior to the preparation of the resettlement plan, a detailed analysis of the existing national and state policies was undertaken, and an entitlement matrix has been prepared for the project. This resettlement plan is prepared based on the review and analysis of all applicable legal and policy frameworks of the country and ADB policy requirements. The gaps between the policies have been identified and addressed to ensure that the resettlement plan adheres to the SPS (2009) requirements.

11

9. All compensation and other assistances will be paid to all DPs prior to commencement of civil works. After payment of compensation, DPs would be allowed to take away the materials salvaged from their dismantled houses and shops and no charges will be levied upon them for the same. The value of salvaged materials will not be deducted from the overall compensation amount due to the DPs. A notice to that effect will be issued intimating that DPs can take away the materials.

F. Entitlements, Assistance and Benefits

10. The cut-off date for Non-Title Holders is the end of the census survey which is 18th January 2019. The structures affected under the project will be compensated at replacement cost. DPs who settle in the affected areas after the 18th January 2019 will not be eligible for compensation. They, however, will be given sufficient advance notice, requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation.

G. Relocation of Housing and Settlements

11. There will be no person relocated from housing due to loss of full house of residential housing. The EA will compensate to the non-titleholders and titleholders for the loss of assets other than the land , such as residential and commercial structures. The entitlements to the non- titleholders will be given only if they occupied the land or structures in the project area prior to the cut-off date.

H. Income Restoration and Rehabilitation

12. The project impact assessment indicates that 16 households are losing their commercial assets under the project. 7 DH are losing less than 10% of the productive assets due to loss of front shed of commercial structure and after dismantling the extended portion it will restore in their business with pre - project status. 9 kiosks will be pushed back outside the Corridor of Impact within the RoW and there will be no disruption of livelihood.

I. Resettlement Budget and Financing Plan

13. The resettlement cost estimate for this project includes eligible compensation, resettlement assistance and support cost for resettlement plan implementation. The support cost, which includes staffing requirement, monitoring and reporting, involvement of NGO in project implementation and other administrative expenses are part of the overall project cost. Contingency provisions have also been made to consider variations from this estimate. The total budget for the proposed project resettlement plan is INR 2.7 million.

J. Grievance Redressal Mechanism

14. The grievance redress mechanisms will be established and will function at the commencement of resettlement plan implementation Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be established at the district level with the primary objective of providing a mechanism to mediate conflict and cut down on lengthy litigation . It will also provide people, who might have objections or concerns about their assistance, a public forum to raise their objections and through conflict resolution, address these issues adequately. The GRC will be established at two levels. There will be one GRC at PIU which will be headed by Superintending Engineer., Th other PIU, headed by the Chief Engineer, will be at the state level. The GRC will have representative from the PMU 12

and/or PIU, affected people, an NGO, and/or other interest groups. All grievances will be routed through the NGO/ PIU/ local self-government to the GRC. The implementing NGO will act as a facilitator to the GRC. However, an aggrieved person will have access to the country's judiciary at any stage of the project level grievance redress process.

K. Institutional Arrangement

15. The Executing Agency (EA) for the Project is MPWD. The Project Management Unit (PMU) headed by a Chief Engineer (CE) will implement the project through a Project Management Unit (PIU) at the district level, PMU and PIU will be assisted by a Project Management Services consultant and an Authority Engineer, respectively, that will have safeguards specialists. The PMU will engage an NGO to support the implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation activities. The staffs at the PIU level will be provided with the training by the social/ resettlement specialist of the Authority Engineers (AE) for implementation of the resettlement plan.

L. Implementation Schedule

16. Implementation of resettlement plan mainly consists of compensation to be paid for affected structures and rehabilitation and resettlement activities. The time for implementation of resettlement plan will be scheduled as per the overall project implementation. The civil works contract for each project will only be awarded after all compensation and relocation has been completed for project and rehabilitation measures are in place. The proposed project resettlement and rehabilitation activities are divided in to three broad categories based on the stages of work and process of implementation, as follows: i) Project Preparation phase ii) resettlement plan Implementation phase, and iii) Monitoring and Reporting phase.

M. Monitoring and Reporting

17. Resettlement plan will be closely monitored by the EA through internal monitoring by the PMU.PIU, responsible for supervision and implementation of the resettlement plan, will prepare monthly progress reports on resettlement activities and submit to PMU. The PMU will prepare semi-annual resettlement plan monitoring reports to ADB to determine whether resettlement goals have been achieved, more importantly whether livelihoods and living standards have been restored/ enhanced and suggest suitable recommendations for improvement. The PMU will submit the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB for disclosure in the ADB website. I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. Maharashtra is a third largest state in India with a large population that is based out of villages and supports various industries and agriculture etc. Transportation becomes an important aspect in the development of the state, as proper facilities are not available in remote parts of the state. Transportation gives the ease of expanding the small-scale industries by connecting them to the major cities in the state., better health facilities become easily accessible, improved agriculture-based products amongst others. With the same motive the Government of Maharashtra through the PWD has taken up the task of improving the road connectivity of the state under the Maharashtra State Road Improvement Project.

2. Public works Department, Government of Maharashtra (MPWD) is engaged in rehabilitation and up- gradation of State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDR) to across the state under the aegis of Maharashtra State Road Improvement Project (MSRIP). The MPWD has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance the rehabilitation and maintenance of 13 numbers of roads having total length of approximately 451.45 km across the state.

3. MPWD, has prepared DPRs for the roads coming under the MSRIP by hiring a detailed design consultant. The detail of Project Roads is mentioned in following table 1.

5. The subproject road aims at providing better connectivity to the villages, and proper roads to commute for the villagers. This would significantly improve the health care system for the villagers as better medical centers become easily accessible.

6. The Resettlement Plan for the subproject is based on 100% census survey carried out in the affected area. The resettlement plan complies with the RFCTLARRA,2013 (the regulating law of India) as well as the ADB SPS,2009.

7. Moreover, stretch passes through major junctions and spreads through remote location of the . The project alignment and some important locations along the project road are presented in Figure below:

Figure No.1: SH 68 (Source: Google Maps)

B. Minimization of Impact

8. Adequate attention has been given during the feasibility and detailed design phases of the project preparation to minimize the adverse impact on land acquisition and resettlement. However, technical and engineering constraints were one of the major concerns during exploration of various alternatives, especially in relations to road safety and decreasing congestion in key sections.

9. The inventory data and typical cross-sections formed the basis of determining the widening requirement. Based on this information along with presence of Structures, trees, utility services along the project road, the center line of the alignment is designed so as to cause minimum disturbance to existing features.

10. The existing RoW (15 to 24) is sufficient in various parts of the project road for the proposed widening and improvement. However, to minimize the resettlement impacts it was 16

proposed to limit the civil works up to 14 to 20 meters. Hence, we have restricted the distance for Social impacts, road rehabilitation will be limited to 14 up to 20 meters.

C. Scope and Objective of Resettlement Plan

11. The aims of this resettlement plan are to avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement impacts, and to compensate affected persons when impacts are unavoidable

12. This resettlement plan has been prepared on the basis of project census survey findings and consultation with various stakeholders. The plan complies with ADB SPS, 2009 that is designed by ADB to protect the rights of displaced persons and communities. The issues identified and addressed in this document are as follows:

(i) Type and extent of loss of land and non-land assets, loss of livelihood, loss of common property resources and social infrastructure; (ii) Impacts on indigenous people, vulnerable groups like poor, women and other disadvantaged sections of society (iii) Public consultation and people’s participation in the project; (iv) Existing legal and administrative framework and formulation of resettlement policy for the project; (v) Preparation of entitlement matrix, formulation of relocation strategy and restoration of businesses/ income; (vi) resettlement and rehabilitation cost estimate including provision for fund and; (vii) Institutional framework for the implementation of the plan, including grievance redress mechanism, monitoring and reporting.

V. LEGAL FRAMEWORK

A. Country Legal and Regulatory System

53. The objective of this chapter is to discuss the key national, state and project-specific resettlement policies and legal issues involved in land acquisition and compensation. This chapter describes the principles and approach to be followed in minimizing and mitigating negative social and economic impacts by the projects. The guidelines are prepared for addressing the issues of resettlement and rehabilitation of the DPs under the Maharashtra State Road Sector Project. The acquisition of land shall be done as per the provision of RFCTLARRA 2013.

54. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013 is effective from January 1, 2014 after receiving the assent of the President of Republic of India, repealing the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The aim of the new act is to minimize displacement and promote, as far as possible, non-displacing or least displacing alternatives and aims to ensure adequate compensation including rehabilitation package and expeditious implementation of the rehabilitation process with the active participation of those affected. The Act also recognizes the need for protecting the weaker sections of the society especially members of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.

55. The aims and objectives of the Act include: (i) to ensure, in consultation with institutions of local self-government and Gram Sabhas established under the Constitution of India, a humane, participative, informed and transparent process for and acquisition for industrialization, development of essential infrastructural facilities and urbanization with the least disturbance to the owners of the land and other displaced families; (ii) provide just and fair compensation to the displaced families whose land has been acquired or proposed to be acquired or are displaced by such acquisition; (iii) make adequate provisions for such displaced persons for their rehabilitation and resettlement; (iv) ensure that the cumulative outcome of compulsory acquisition should be that displaced persons become partners in development leading to an improvement in their post- acquisition social and economic status and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The key features of the new land acquisition act are as follows: Schedule I outlines the proposed minimum compensation based on a multiple of market value. Schedule II and III outline the resettlement and rehabilitation (resettlement and rehabilitation) entitlements to landowners and livelihood losers, which shall be in addition to the minimum compensation per Schedule I. The Schedules IV lists out other land acquisition acts, which will be repealed with 1 year after LAAR is effective. The salient provisions of the RTFCTLARR Act relevant to the project are as follows:

1. There are three schedules incorporated in the act, Schedule I deals with compensation, schedule II with resettlement and rehabilitation and Schedule III with Civic amenities to be provided in the resettlement colony. 2. Preparation of Social Impact Assessment study including assessment of public purpose through a process of public consultation and disclosure for land acquisition proposals covered under the Act. 3. Transparent procedures to be followed in the acquisition of land from preliminary notification to award and possession and preparation and implementation of rehabilitation and resettlement schemes for those displaced by acquisition of land for public purpose. 34

4. Land Acquisition in Schedule Area as per the RFCTLARRA 2013, a separate Development Plan shall be formulated as per Section 41. The Development Plan will cover : a. In case of acquisition or alienation of any land in the Scheduled Areas, the prior consent of the concerned Gram Sabha or the Panchayats or the autonomous District Councils, at the appropriate level in Scheduled Areas under the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution, as the case may be, shall be obtained, in all cases of land acquisition in such areas, including acquisition in case of urgency, before issue of a notification under this Act, or any other Central Act or a State Act for the time being in force, provided that the consent of the Panchayats or the Autonomous Districts Councils shall be obtained in cases where the Gram Sabha does not exist or has not been constituted. Documentation of this has to be provided. b. The report has to provide the details of procedure for settling land rights dues. c. Details of how to restore titles of the Scheduled Tribes as well as the Scheduled Castes on the alienated land. d. Details of program for development of alternate fuel, fodder and non-timber forest produce resources on non-forest lands within a period of five years, sufficient to meet the requirements of tribal communities as well as the Scheduled Castes. e. The Plan has to ensure that the affected families of the Scheduled Tribes shall be resettled preferably in the same Scheduled Area in a compact block so that they can retain their ethnic, linguistic and cultural identity. f. The Plan has to state and ensure that the resettlement areas predominantly inhabited by the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes shall get land, to such extent as may be decided by the appropriate Government free of cost for community and social gatherings. g. Any alienation of tribal lands or lands belonging to members of the Scheduled Castes in disregard of the laws and regulations for the time being in force shall be treated as null and void, and in the case of acquisition of such lands, the rehabilitation and resettlement benefits shall be made available to the original tribal land owners or land owners belonging to the Scheduled Castes. h. The affected Scheduled Tribes, other traditional forest dwellers and the Scheduled Castes having fishing rights in a river or pond or dam in the affected area shall be given fishing rights in the reservoir area of the irrigation or hydel projects. 5. There is a separate law for settlement of forest dwellers under Forest Right Act 2006. Under the provision the settlement of dwellers belonging to ST/SC living in the forest area must be settled before any forest land diversion. 6. Under Panchayat (Extension to Schedule Areas) Act 1996 provides special provision for land being alienated by the Tribal. The provisions of this act have been incorporated in RFCTLARRA 2013 s.41. 7. Procedure and methodology for determination of market value for compensation to be provided to legal title holders. 8. Infrastructural facilities to be provided in resettlement areas and special provision for Scheduled Castes and Tribes. 9. Institutional mechanism for implementing the provision of the Act, monitoring of resettlement and rehabilitation and grievance redressal. 35

10. Procedure for payment of compensation. 11. Temporary possession of land. 12. The owners of land and structures (including those having certain legal rights) proposed to be acquired and, in urban areas, those who are staying on or whose livelihood is dependent on such land for a period of 3 years prior to acquisition of land are entitled for certain compensation and benefits under the Act. 13. For legal title holders in urban areas, the compensation for land is equivalent to market value of land, value of assets attached to the land or buildings and 100%solatium on value of land. 14. For houses lost as a result of acquisition of land in urban areas, a constructed house of not less than 50 sq. m. plinth area (if required in multi-storied building)is to be provided for a family. Alternatively, if so desired by the PAP, a one-time financial assistance of not less than Rs. 1.5 Lakhs is to be given for construction of a house. However, the location of house in terms of the distance from lost house is not prescribed. 15. In addition, the displaced family is to be provided (i) training and skill development for job to one family member in the project or one-time payment of Rs. 5 Lakhs or annuity policies that pay Rs. 2,000 per month per family for 20years indexed to CPI (ii) monthly subsistence allowance of Rs. 3,000 per month for a period of one year (iii) one-time financial assistance of Rs. 50,000 towards transportation cost for shifting (iv) one-time resettlement allowance of Rs.50,000. 16. Each petty shop owner / small trader / self-employed person and family owning non- agricultural land, or commercial, industrial or institutional structure is to be provided one-time financial assistance of minimum Rs. 25,000 for construction of shop.

17. The stamp duty and registration charges for the land and house to be provided to the PAPs shall be borne by the acquiring body. It may be seen that while elaborate provisions for compensation and resettlement and rehabilitation benefits are made for those displaced due to the acquisition of land for the project, the Act does not prescribe any benefits for occupants of structures located on public (Government) land and affected by the project. Further, the Act does not envisage any resettlement benefit for occupants/ owners of structures used for other than residential purposes and affected by the project. The Central Board of Direct Taxes vide Order dated 25/10/2016 has clarified that the compensation received in respect of award or agreement, which has been exempted from levy of income tax vide Section 96 of the RFCTLARR Act shall also not be taxable under the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961.

B. ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009

56. The objectives of ADB's SPS (2009) with regard to involuntary resettlement are: a. To avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; b. To minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; c. To enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and d. To improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups. 36

57. ADB's SPS (2009) covers physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of; involuntary acquisition of land, or Involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. It covers displaced persons whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary.

58. The three important elements of ADB’s SPS (2009) are: • Compensation at replacement cost for lost assets, livelihood, and income prior to displacement; • Assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and • Assistance for rehabilitation to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons relative to pre-project levels and to improve the standard of living of displaced poor and other vulnerable groups.

Disclose monitoring reports.

E. IR Policy Adopted for the Project

62. Based on the analysis of the national legal framework, State Rules on LA Act-2013, State policy and ADB policy, the following resettlement principles are adopted for this sub-project.

A. Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. Measures to avoid and minimize involuntary resettlement impacts include the following: (i) explore alternative alignments or locations which are less impacting, (ii) ensure the appropriate technology is used to reduce land requirements, (iii) modify the designs, cross sections, and geometrics of components to maximize the ROW and ensure involuntary resettlement is avoided or minimized.

B. Carry out meaningful consultations with displaced persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the 43

poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and indigenous peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the concerns of displaced persons. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase.

C. Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through; (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement cost for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible.

D. Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required.

E. Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.

F. Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement7to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.

G. Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non- land assets.

H. Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on the entitlements of displaced persons, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements,

7 9 ADB SPS 2009 (Safeguards Requirements 2) does not apply to negotiated settlements. The policy is encouraging acquisition of land and other assets through a negotiated settlement wherever possible, based on meaningful consultation with displaced persons, including those without title to assets. A negotiated settlement will offer adequate and fair price for land and/or other assets. Also, an independent external party will be engaged to document the negotiation and settlement processes. In cases where the failure of negotiations would result in expropriation through eminent domain or the buyer could acquire the property regardless of its owner’s decision to sell it or not, will trigger ADB’s involuntary resettlement policy. The Safeguard Requirements 2 will apply in such cases, including preparing a resettlement plan 44

monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. This resettlement plan will be approved by ADB prior to contract award.

I. Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to displaced persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to displaced persons and other stakeholders.

J. Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation.

K. Payment of compensation and resettlement assistance as per RFCTLARRA-2013 (as adopted by Maharashtra Govt.)/Direct Purchase Policy of Maharashtra-2016 and following the entitlement matrix included in the resettlement plan.

L. Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation.

63. Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standard of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by considering the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports.

VII. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

A. Institutional Requirement

69. For implementation of resettlement plan there will be a set of institutions involved at various levels and stages of the project. For successful implementation of the resettlement plan the proposed institutional arrangement with their role and responsibility has been outlined in this section. The following are the primary institutions, who will be involved in this implementation process:

Assistant Resettlement Officer (ARO) in the rank of Assistant Engineer (AE) per sub project, who will either be deputed to the PIU or engaged on contractual basis having adequate land acquisition implementation/resettlement experience. The staffs at the Project Implementation Unit level will be provided with the training by the social/ resettlement specialist of the supervision consultant for implementation of the resettlement plan. The Project Implementation Unit will maintain all databases, work closely with DPs and other stakeholders and monitor the day today resettlement activities. Some of the specific tasks to be performed by PIU include:

• Translation of resettlement plan in local language; • Liaison with district administration for dovetailing government’s income generating and developmental programs for the DPs; • Ensure the inclusion of those DPs who may have not been covered during the census survey; • Facilitate the opening of accounts in local banks to transfer assistance to DPs, and organize the disbursement of cheque for assistance in the affected area in public; • Monitor physical and financial progress on land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation activities; • Participate in regular meetings in GRC; and • Organize monthly meetings with the NGO to review the progress on resettlement and rehabilitation

73. For the project requires land acquisition, as per the procedure laid down under the Direct Purchase Policy of GoM, a Land Valuation Committee (LVC) will be established at the district level. The Committee will be chaired by the District Collector or his/her representative and will have representatives of local self-government institutions as required. The LVC will be responsible to make independent valuation of land/other assets based on existing market replacement cost and for completion of land acquisition on behalf of EA.

74. Project management services consultant. Project implementation support, including safeguards implementation, will be provided to the PMU by a project management services consultant (PMSC). The PMSC will have a gender and social development specialist to assist the PMU to oversee the implementation of the resettlement plans, gender-related actions, and other social development activities. The specialists will support the PMU in monitoring the implementation of social development activities under the project; review of social and environmental monitoring reports submitted by the NGO, authority engineer (AE) and /or contractors; and prepare the semi-annual monitoring report for submission to ADB.

75. Authority Engineer Two AEs are engaged under the project and will be responsible for supervising implementation of the EMP and EMOP by the contractor, and the resettlement and social development activities by the resettlement implementation NGOs.

76. Each AE will include an environmental specialist who will be responsible for at least weekly site level supervision and monitoring. All subplans such as the construction camp layout, waste management, borrow area management, traffic management, tree plantation, and others prepared by the contractor will be reviewed and approved by the AE. The AE will also provide guidance to the contractor on corrective measures that must be taken and monitor their compliance. The environmental expert will review and verify all environmental reports prepared by each of the contractors. Based on site inspections and environmental reports from the contractors, he/she will prepare quarterly environmental monitoring reports for submission to the 58

PMU. The quarterly reports will be consolidated into a semi-annual environmental monitoring report and submitted to the PMU for their review and endorsement for further submission to ADB.

77. Each AE will also include a social development specialist. The specialist will be responsible for the following: (i) guide the implementation of the resettlement plans; (ii) help set up an internal monitoring system; (iii) participate and monitor the project-level grievance redress committee; and (iv) support the preparation of the semi-annual social monitoring reports.

E. Nongovernment Organization

78. The PMU will engage an NGO with experience in resettlement and rehabilitation matters along with community related skills to assist the Project Implementation Unit in order to build a good rapport with the affected community and facilitate satisfactory resettlement and rehabilitation of the DPs. To overcome this deficiency, experienced and well-qualified NGO in this field will be engaged to assist the Project Implementation Unit in the implementation of the resettlement plan. The NGO would play the role of a facilitator and will work as a link between the PIU and the affected community. NGO will assist DP by preparing micro plan and guiding to access into various ongoing government development schemes and agencies providing financial assistance and loan. Considering the significant role of the NGO in resettlement plan implementation, it is extremely important to select NGO that are capable, genuine and committed to the tasks assigned in order to ensure the success of the Plan. NGO will be hired for a group of projects which will manage the project resettlement activities, but the cost is proposed in each project keeping in view the PWD norms of requirement of advance administrative approval. The Terms of Reference for the NGO is appended as Appendix 7.

79. The roles and responsibilities of various agencies to be involved in resettlement planning process and implementation of resettlement activities are summarized in Table 21.

F. Capacity Building

81. Close consultations were held with all the concerned departments to have an initial level of capacity assessment and capacity building exercise in the relevant agencies during the preparation of this resettlement plan. The MPWD has already established an ADB-PMU and needs appointment of a designated officials dealing with the land acquisition and resettlement for the project.

82. To allow an effective execution of all resettlement plan related tasks some expansion of the capacity on resettlement plan currently available at EA may be needed. During the first ADB supported project, the EA has only designated one Executive engineer as Resettlement Officer at HQ level. Keeping in view the current resettlement impacts and activities, it is suggested that a full time Officer preferably from Revenue department as RO will be placed at ADB-PMU level. Additionally, it is suggested that at field level PIU an Assistant Engineer level officer will be designated as ARO for project level resettlement plan implementation. As an advance action, the EA has initiated the process of deputing and RO from other relevant departments.

60

83. All concerned staff both at head office and field level involved in land acquisition and resettlement activities will undergo an orientation and training in ADB resettlement policy and management. Broadly, the training will cover various topics such as (i) Principles and procedures of land acquisition; (ii) Public consultation and participation; (iii) Entitlements and compensation & assistance disbursement mechanisms; Grievance redress; and (iv) Monitoring of resettlement operations. These will be covered through a formal workshop by the consultant under the ongoing technical assistance program. In addition, the resettlement and rehabilitation expert under Construction Supervision Consultant can also impart training to the field office staff during the project implementation if required. The specific components under the training will cover the following:

• Understanding of the ADB Policy Guidelines and requirements and differences between country policy and laws • Understanding of the policy and procedure adopted for the project • Understanding of the Implementation Schedule activities step-by-step • Understanding of the Monitoring and reporting mechanism • Understanding of the economic rehabilitation measures

61

VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

84. Grievances related to the implementation of the project, particularly regarding the resettlement plan Implementation will be acknowledged, evaluated, and responded to the complainant with corrective actions proposed using understandable and transparent processes that are gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all segments of the affected people. The responsibility agency for addressing the grievances along with proper timelines will be clearly indicated. Records of grievances received, corrective actions taken, and their outcomes will be properly maintained and form part of the social monitoring report to ADB.

85. A Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be established at two-levels, one at the District or PIU level and another at PMU level. The GRC will provide an opportunity affected person to have their grievances redressed. Depending on the nature and significance of the grievances or complaints, the GRM will comprise procedures to address grievances at the project site or PIU level, PMU level. Most serious complaints which cannot be addressed at the PIU level will be forwarded to the PMU.

86. During preparation of resettlement plan and during pre-construction stage, the local communities in the project area will be informed by the PMC and PIU on the grievance redress procedure and the contact persons for lodging complaints. Provisions shall also be made for lodging complaints at the respective PWD’s website.

Level 1: PIU and field level

87. Grievance related to the implementation of resettlement plan will be addressed by the PIU. The grievance redress mechanism will be accessible to people throughout the length of the road in the subproject. The resettlement staff of PIU and NGO will facilitate displaced persons in registering their grievances at the PIU level. A complaint register will be maintained at PIU level and also at the field level I to facilitate ease of access of the DPs to the grievance redress mechanism. The details related to the date of complaint, complaint, date of personal hearing, action taken, and date of communication sent to complainant will be recorded. This complaint register will be initiated at the PIU level as soon as possible. Investigation of grievances will involve site visits and consultation with relevant parties like displaced persons, contractors etc. At the PIU level the GRC will comprise of the:

(i) Superintending Engineer (Chairperson) (ii) representative from the affected village (iii) representative for women from a relevant agency which could be from the government, or NGO or local community (iv) implementing NGO

Level 2: State Level

88. Grievances not redressed by the PIU level will be brought to the State level GRC. The State level GRC will be headed / chaired by Chief Engineer, PMU. The state level GRC will comprise of the following:

(i) Chief Engineer (CE, Chairperson) (ii) FSO (iii) Superintending Engineer (SE) of concerned filed unit 62

(iv) Team Leader of the NGO

89. The main responsibilities of the GRC at both the levels will be to: (i) provide support to DPs on problems arising from land/property acquisition; (ii) record DP grievances, categorize, and prioritize grievances and resolve them; (iii) immediately inform the EA of serious cases; and (iv) report to DPs on developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the GRC. Other than disputes relating to ownership rights under the court of law, GRC will review grievances involving all resettlement benefits, compensation, relocation, replacement cost and other assistance.

90. The GRC will meet every month (if grievances are brought to the Committee), determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint— Records will be kept of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were affected, and final outcome. The GRCs will continue to function during the life of the Project. The GRC is expected to resolve grievances of the eligible persons within a stipulated time of 3 weeks at the PIU level and 3 weeks at the state level.

91. Costs: All costs involved in resolving the complaints (meetings, consultations, communication and reporting / information dissemination) will be borne by the Project.

Level 3: Court of Law

92. The displaced person is free to access the country’s legal system at any time and at any stage although Project GRM is the preferred route.

93. ADB Accountability Mechanism. If the established GRM is not able to resolve a grievance, the affected person also can use the ADB Accountability Mechanism through directly contacting (in writing) the Complaint Receiving Officer at ADB headquarters or the ADB India Resident Mission (INRM). Before submitting a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, it is necessary that affected persons make a good faith effort to solve the problem by working with the concerned ADB operations department and/or INRM. Only after doing that, and if they are still dissatisfied, will the Accountability Mechanism consider the compliant eligible for review. The complaint can be submitted in any of the official languages of ADB’s developing member countries. The ADB Accountability Mechanism information will be included in the project-relevant information to be distributed to the affected communities, as part of the project GRM.

IX. COMPENSATION, RELOCATION AND REHABILITATION

A. Valuation of Assets

94. The valuation of the acquired land and other assets is based on the principle of compensation at replacement cost. Compensation and other assistance are paid to all DPs prior to commencement of civil works. After payment of compensation, DPs can salvage the materials of their dismantled houses and shops without any charges. A notice to that effect is issued to the DPs.

1. Valuation of Land

95. While customarily the rate of compensation for land to be acquired is determined based on the circle rate of similar types of land, the replacement cost of the land is derived by applying procedure provided in the Maharashtra LARR Act Rules. There is no land acquisition in the project area.

2. Valuation of Structures

96. The value of houses, buildings and other immovable properties, including public and private property, are determined based on the current Basic Schedule of Rates (BSR) applicable at the time of acquisition, without depreciation. There were different types of structures with varied rates depending upon the type of construction materials used. There were range of unit rate applied for type of construction and replacement cost was calculated for each structure. The total compensation is presented in Table 22

B. Relocation

97. To understand the relocation options, DHs were consulted during the census survey, the DPs showed a clear preference for cash compensation and self-relocation, in order to avoid disruption of community life and problems with host communities.

98. During the visit it was noted that there are 9 kiosk (i.e. maximum betel stalls) which need relocation. All pan stalls have space nearby for self-relocation. And all the pan stalls owners agreed to shift back or relocate on their own expenses.

65

99. There are three temples in ROW along the project road, which are to be Relocated on the vacant land available under PWD and the construction would be done by the contractor.

C. Rehabilitation Measures

100. The specific rehabilitation measures in different categories under this subproject are being provided in the following table. 23. Kiosks will be pushed back outside the CoI within the RoW and all commercial HH will restore their income after relocation.

XI. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

A. Need for Monitoring and Reporting

103. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are critical activities in involuntary resettlement in order to ameliorate problems faced by the DPs and develop solutions immediately. Monitoring is a periodic assessment of planned activities providing midway inputs. It facilitates change and gives necessary feedback of activities and the directions on which they are going, whereas evaluation is a summing up activity at the end of the project assessing whether the activities have achieved their intended goals and purposes. In other words, M&E apparatus is a crucial mechanism for measuring project performance and fulfillment of the project objectives.

B. Internal Monitoring

104. One of the main roles of Project Management Unit will be to see proper and timely implementation of all activities in resettlement plan. Monitoring will be a regular activity for ADB- PMU and Focal Officer (Social) at this level will see the timely implementation of resettlement and rehabilitation activities. Monitoring will be carried out by the PIU and its agents, such as NGOs and will prepare monthly reports on the progress of resettlement plan Implementation. PIU will collect information from the project site and assimilate in the form of monthly report to assess the progress and results of resettlement plan implementation and adjust work program where necessary, in case of delays or any implementation problems as identified. This monitoring will form parts of regular activity and reporting on this will be extremely important in order to undertake mid-way corrective steps. The monitoring by PMU will include:

▪ Administrative monitoring: daily planning, implementation, feedback and troubleshooting, individual DP database maintenance, and progress reports; ▪ Socio-economic monitoring: case studies, using baseline information for comparing DP socio-economic conditions, evacuation, demolition, salvaging materials, morbidity and mortality, community relationships, dates for consultations, and number of appeals placed; and ▪ Impact monitoring: Income standards restored/improved, and socioeconomic conditions of the displaced persons. Monitoring reports documenting progress on resettlement implementation and resettlement plan completion reports will be provided by the Project Implementation Unit to ADB-PMU for review and approval from ADB.

105. The following should be considered as the basis for indicators in monitoring of the project: • Socio-economic conditions of the DPs in the post-resettlement period; • Communication and reactions from DPs on entitlements, compensation, options, alternative developments and relocation timetables etc.; • changes in housing and income levels; • rehabilitation of informal settlers; • valuation of property; • grievance procedures; • disbursement of compensation; and • Level of satisfaction of DPs in the post resettlement period. • 68

C. Stages of Monitoring

106. Considering the importance of the various stage of project cycle, the EA will handle the monitoring at each stage as stated below:

1. Preparatory Stage

107. During the pre-relocation phase of resettlement operation, monitoring is concerned with administrative issues such as, establishment of resettlement unit, budget, land acquisition, consultation with DPs in the preparation of resettlement plan, payments of entitlement due, grievance Redressal, and so on. The key issue for monitoring will be:

• Conduct of baseline survey • Consultations • Identification of DP and the numbers • Identification of different categories of DPs and their entitlements • Collection of gender disaggregated data • Inventory and losses survey • Asset inventory • Entitlements • Valuation of different assets • Budgeting • Information dissemination • Institutional arrangements • Implementation schedule review, budgets and line items expenditure

2. Relocation Stage

108. Monitoring during the relocation phase covers such issues as site selection in consultation with DPs, development of relocation sites, assistance to DPs (especially to vulnerable groups) in physically moving to the new site. Likewise, aspects such as adjustment of DPs in the new surroundings, attitude of the host population towards the newcomers and development of community life are also considered at this stage. The key issue for monitoring will be: • Payment of compensation • Delivery of entitlement • Grievance handling • Preparation of resettlement site, including civic amenities (water, sanitation, drainage, paved streets, electricity) • Consultations • Relocation • Payment of compensation • Livelihood restoration assistance and measures

3. Rehabilitation Stage

109. Once DPs have settled down at the new sites, the focus of monitoring will shift to issues of economic recovery to the pre project status. The key issue for monitoring will be:

• Improvement of business due to improved connectivity. 69

D. Monitoring Indicators

110. The most crucial components/indicators to be monitored are specific contents of the activities and entitlement matrix. The resettlement plan contains indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives under the resettlement program. These indicators and benchmarks are of three kinds:

• Process indicators including project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment, etc. • Output indicators indicating results in terms of numbers of displaced people compensated and resettled, training held, credit disbursed, etc. and • Impact indicators related to the longer-term effect of the project on people's lives.

111. Input and output indicators related to physical progress of the work will include items as following:

• Training of PIU staff completed • Public meetings held • Census, assets inventories, assessments and socio-economic studies completed • NGO recruited and trained • Meetings of GRC • Grievance redress procedures in-place and functioning • Compensation payments disbursed • Relocation of DPs completed • Employment provided to DPs • Training of DPs initiated • Number of families physically displaced and resettled • Monitoring reports submitted

E. Reporting Requirements

112. Project Implementation Unit responsible for supervision and implementation of the resettlement plan will prepare monthly progress reports on resettlement activities and submit to ADB-PIU. ADB-PIU will submit semi-annual reports to ADB. The report will be disclosed in the ADB Website.

113. All the resettlement monitoring reports will be disclosed to DPs as per procedure followed for disclosure of resettlement documents by the EA. The monitoring reports will also be disclosed on ADB Website.

70

XII. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

114. Implementation of resettlement plan mainly consists of compensation to be paid for affected structures and rehabilitation and resettlement activities. The time for implementation of resettlement plan will be scheduled as per the overall project implementation. All activities related to the land acquisition and resettlement must be planned to ensure that compensation is paid prior to displacement and commencement of civil works. Public consultation, monitoring and grievance redress will be undertaken intermittently throughout the project duration. However, the schedule is subject to modification depending on the progress of the project activities. The civil works contract for each project will only be awarded after all compensation and relocation has been completed for project and rehabilitation measures are in place.

A. Schedules for Project Implementation

115. The proposed project resettlement and rehabilitation activities are divided in to three broad categories based on the stages of work and process of implementation. The details of activities involved in these three phases-Project Preparation phases, resettlement plan Implementation phase, Monitoring and Reporting period are discussed below:

• Project Preparation Phase: The major activities to be performed in this period include establishment of Project Implementation Unit at project level; submission of resettlement plan for ADB approval; appointment of NGO and establishment of GRC etc. The information campaign and community consultation will be a process initiated from this stage and will go on till the end of the project.

• resettlement plan Implementation Phase: After the project preparation phase the next stage is implementation of resettlement plan which includes issues like compensation of award by EA; payment of all eligible assistance; relocation of DPs; initiation of economic rehabilitation measures; site preparation for delivering the site to contractors for construction and finally starting civil work.

Monitoring and Reporting Period: As mentioned earlier the monitoring will be the responsibility of ADB-PMU, Project Implementation Unit and implementing NGO and will start early during the project when implementation of resettlement plan starts and will continue till the complete implementation of the project.

B. Resettlement and rehabilitation Implementation Schedule

116. A composite implementation schedule for resettlement and rehabilitation activities in the project including various sub tasks and timeline matching with civil work schedule is prepared and presented in the form of Table 25. However, the sequence may change, or delays may occur due to circumstances beyond the control of the Project and accordingly the time can be adjusted for the implementation of the plan. The implementation schedule can also be structured through package wise. The entire stretch can be divided into various contract packages and the completion of resettlement implementation for each contract package shall be the pre-condition to start of the civil work at that particular contract package.
