  • Social Screening & Me Framework
    Himachal Pradesh State Road Project Feasibility Report Social Screening & ME Framework CHAPTER 11 – SOCIAL SCREENING & ME FRAMEWORK 11.1 NEED FOR SOCIAL SCREENING The Himachal Pradesh State Road Project primarily envisages improvement and rehabilitation of State Highway, Major District Roads of the state. The improvement works will consist mainly in raising the formation level, upgrading/improvement of road geometrics, widening, road stretches crossing urban areas may also require upgrading to a two-lane cross section, and/or provision for drains, sidewalks and parking where required. In some cases, new alignments (by- passes) and/or re-alignments may also be required. Improvement and rehabilitation work would entail land acquisition, adverse impact on structures, other assets and sources of earning, religious properties, impact on common properties such as bus stops, hand pumps, etc. The Government of India, the World Bank and the Government of Himachal Pradesh recognizes the need for addressing social issues at very beginning stage of any development project for minimizing adverse impacts and maximizing the benefits through equitable distribution. 11.2 CRITERIA FOR SOCIAL SCREENING Social screening of roads has been undertaken keeping in view the following parameters: (a) presence of number of residential, commercial and residential cum commercial properties within the direct impact zone (b) Existence of religious properties in project impact zone (c) likely Impact on public services (d) likely impact on public utilities (e) average land holding size (f) percentage of SC population (g) percentage of ST population. Under each parameter, relevant indicators have been identified for the screening purpose to arrive at a more meaningful screening result that would help in rational planning and selection of road.

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm. The rainfall increases from south to north.
