1. Preamble 1. The present Quarterly Report on Resettlement Plan provides overview of the project, activities undertaken for the implementation of resettlement plan in the project area between January and March 2017. Major progress made during this reporting period is summarized below.

2. Project Description

2. The Climate Adaptation in Vennar Sub-basin in Cauvery Delta Project (CAVSCDP) supports the implementation of the Government of India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) of 2008 and it’s National Water Mission (NWM). The project will improve irrigation water management in six channels namely Pandavayar, Vellaiyar, Harichandranadhi, Adappar, Valavanar, and Canal, covering a total command area of 78,000 hectare (ha) in the Vennar sub-basin of the Cauvery delta sprawl in and districts (Figure 1), of the state of Tamil Nadu, through investments in infrastructure, water resources management, and flood risk reduction.

3. Modernization of irrigation system by design, construction and improved management are the major tasks of the project. The important activities of the project are (i) re-sectioning of and embankment strengthening of river/canals, (ii) de-silting of river bed, and (iii) construction of new or rehabilitation of old or reconstruction of head regulators, cross regulators, drainage out fall, irrigation out falls and infall of all six rivers of Vennar sub-basin.

4. Improved management will be delivered through non-structural interventions designed to (i) improve the management of surface water and ground water resources, and (ii) manage flood risks and flood events.

5. The re-section also involves de-silting of river bed to the natural level, details of distance of rivers is given below in Table-1

6. For the implementation of CAVSCDP, resettlement plan (RP) was prepared based on the final detailed design where boundary of project areas has been established. The socio economic survey carried out in December 2015 identified that the proposed project will involve impact to encroachers and squatters living along the bunds of these rivers, and the resettlement plan has been prepared to mitigate the involuntary resettlement impacts. The RP is based on the census and socio-economic survey of the affected households (AHs) in the six rivers/channels proposed for improvement under this project viz. (i) Harichandranadi River; (ii) Adappar River; (iii) Pandavayar River; (iv) Vellaiyar River; (v) Valavanar River; and (vi) Vedaranyam Canal. The RP is based on the final detailed design prepared by WRD, GoTN. Figure 1: Project Area

7. The project does not involve any land acquisition as the Right-of-Way (RoW) along the banks of the river/canal with WRD and the RoW has been established in the field by the revenue officials using revenue records. To implement rehabilitation of embankment, it will need to remove encroachers and squatters along the banks of the river/canal within the RoW.

8. The implementation of the project will require displacement of 3,235 private structures, comprising of 2,642 residential structures, 349 commercial structures, 129 residence cum commercial structures and 115 cattle shed/shelters, with total 12,887 affected persons. Further, 157 common property resources will also be impacted. The involuntary resettlement (IR) impacts are summarized in Table 2 and Table 3.

9. Since the encroachers and squatters occupied the embankments and Right of Way (RoW), Implementation of RP has become indispensable. For implementing RP in all six project rivers, it is estimated that 39 ha (i.e almost 100 acres) of land is required either by identifying Government lands or purchasing Private lands for constructing houses for the affected households for which 1300 sq.ft of land has been worked out per house including common space.

Land Requirement and Availability

Land identified in Government and Private are presented in Annexure II and III.

Joint verification The process of Joint verification to authenticate the affected households surveyed during baseline survey conducted in the year 2015 was started by engaging a non- governmental organization called Health Environment Agriculture and Village Education Network (HEAVEN).

The Executive Engineer, PIU, Thiruvarur has given a detailed description of the project, works in progress in each river, GRC and about joint verification process to the NGO personnel. EE has explained that the DHs inside the RoW are to be covered in joint verification and appropriate compensation has to be provided to the DHs with the help of CAVSCDP staff and assured that the WRD field staff would help locating all DHs along all the river banks.

Social Development Specialist has given the following inputs for conducting joint verification

i. Refer all census and socio-economic survey filled forms already conducted available in at PIU for getting oriented with all parameters covered in the survey ii. Fields to be updated in the forms during joint verification iii. Preparation of Joint verification update format for reporting iv. Orientation with Entitlement Matrix which has to be distributed in the form of booklet to the DHs during joint verification. v. Received Socio economic Survey data (soft copy) from Social Development Specialist. vi. Received census and Socio Economic Survey forms from Thiruvarur PIU vii. Joint Verification – Field action plan prepared and submitted to Thiruvarur PIU

Mr, Chandrasekaran, Social Safeguard Specialist, ADB and Dr. R. Rajkumar, Social Development Specialist, CAVSCDP have conducted orientation on RP Implementation between 04 and 05 January.2017. Important responsibilities during joint verification are given below

 All corrections and inclusions in the form be made using Red ink pen to differentiate the updated information.  Confirm the name of Revenue village, ID proof, contact number and address.  To give first preference to Aadhar card for ID Proof then Ration card, voter ID and Driving License etc.  To collect Data Birth or month and year of Household.  In case head of the house hold died, name of wife has to be added and signed by the next head of the family.  Update the ID card number.  If possible, collect survey number, patta number and photo copy of the document.  To confirm the use of structure, property and confirm the type of structure, Tenure.  Take photo of head of family for issuing ID card  Structure cost will be valued by Executive Engineer.  Collect bank account particulars and ensure the account, branch details and IFSC code.  Monthly Time Schedule send to PMU and copy to PIU and Social Development Specialist.  Update and confirm the social category of all DHs.  Conduct Public discloser meeting combining 2-3 hamlets covering a distance of 4-5 kilometers  Issued Entitlement Matrix booklet to all DHs and get acknowledgement signature.  Prepare Micro plan for joint verification

As part of the orientation program, a practical session on joint verification in the field at Kankoduthavanitham village located in Padavaiyar was conducted by Mr.Chandrasekaran, Social Safeguard Specialist, ADB and Dr. R. Rajkumar Social Development Specialist CAVSCDP. Doubts were cleared by the specialists during the visit.

Records to be Maintained by the NGO

The NGO personnel were requested to maintain the following records during joint verification

1. Update of census and socio economic survey form 2. Update all records using excel sheet 3. Acknowledgement note for issuing entitlement matrix booklet to DHs 4. Photo of DHs for ID cards

Joint verification process has been completed in Pandavayar and Vellaiyar. Joint verification in Harichandranadhi is progressing. The actual number of DHs opted for house during baseline survey was 409 and 1002 in Pandavayar and Vellaiyar respectively and during joint verification the DHs opted for houses has been reduced to 308 and 524 in Pandavayar and Vellaiyar respectively. In Velliayar Number of DHs may increase after completion of resurvey and fixing og RoW stone. The reasons for reduction in opt for houses were assets located beyond RoW, no claims for the assets (permanent absentees), DH recorded in baseline but structure not exist etc,. Detailed data regarding DHs in Pandavayar and Vellaiyar is given below in Table 1 & 2 of Annexure I.

Some Important Observations during Joint verification

Following are the important observations and needs to be taken into account for undertaking actions to be completed before joint verifications are completed.

i. At Vettaikaniruppu village in Harichandranadhi, there are about 35 household assets which are located within the RoW were not included in baseline survey as the RoW Stones laid after the baseline survey was completed, hence those assets should be surveyed. ii. At Alathambadi, a small town located on the main road, identification of DHs becomes difficult and need as the RoW boundary stones are missing. Hence, the stretch has to be resurveyed by the land surveyor to complete joint verification among households and shops. iii. Current tenants of shops are different from the tenants occupied shops when baseline survey was conducted, hence there is a confusion in doing joint verification and would be difficult in providing compensation. iv. Employees of shops have frequently shift and almost all employees of shops were new v. Some of the DHs have legally registered deeds (Thalainayar) for their assets and claim that their assets would not be affected and not cooperating for joint verification. Those DHs also demand for resurvey the plot area for further confirmation. vi. Huts located inside the prawn farms are in inaccessible for conducting joint verification and could not meet the owner of the squatter hut. vii. Due to ignorance, the rented DHs have given the name of owners and not the tenant at the time of baseline survey. The tenants request to include their name for getting house as compensation. viii. DHs opt for cash instead of house, thinking that it would be difficult to change their documents such as ration cards, admitting their children in other schools, Aadhar ID etc if they resettle in other revenue village, taluk or District. ix. Owners of shops do not allow rented shop keepers to include for compensation and want to include only the owner. Owners threaten the rented shop keepers to vacate the shops as they get compensation more than the owner in some places. x. DHs belong to a particular community requested to resettle with the same community households and not with other caste group. xi. Some affected assets were shops while conducting baseline survey and those assets were converted as house or commercial cum houses while undertaking joint verification. Those DHs demand for houses as compensation instead of cash compensation. Issues and concerns encountered during Joint verification

Some important problems faced by the joint verification team and the affected households are summarized below.

i. The team could not collect information/data of house owners, as the encroached house owner rented the house and reside in other village, town or foreign countries. The tenements could not provide bank details and photo identity of the owners. Hence, there would be difficu.lty in sanctioning compensation for the building cost/compensation. ii. As the encroached shop owners also rented the building could not be contacted there is difficulty in getting details of bank and ID. iii. Since the rented household has the privilege to avail new house as compensation, being known the entitlement, the house owner do not agree to the real tenement and demanded the house for their children or sibling and deny/hid the tenants iv. As the boundary stones laid just abutting river bank on one bank and far in the other bank, hence there is a difficulty in identifying affected houses fall within the civil execution area i.e. toe to toe. v. Some of the unaffected assets were numbered and included as the DHs during baseline survey, since boundary stone were laid after the census survey was carried out vi. The employees/wage labourers used to change/switch jobs from the enterprise who were eligible to receive compensation, may not get the compensation as per the entitlement matrix vii. The households were absent during baseline survey and absent during joint verification may not get compensation and/ choice whether need house or cash as compensation. Also not able to get Bank and ID details for verification viii. A structure exists without the details of household as they were absent during baseline survey and present during joint verification ix. Owners try to vacate the tenants as the tenants have entitlement to have house x. Owners inform that they possess Patta during joint verification, but do not show or produce the copy of patta/title xi. The houses in the Patta land located just near the RoW boundary stone, likely to be affected/blocked if the bund formed upto PWD boundary stone. The house will be affected due to sand filled for bund. Not sure whether the house could be compensated as the houses were not inclu.ded as affected. xii. Cash compensation to the shop owners is provided in the matrix but there is no provision for the house owner has more than one house in the encroached area and demand for compensation for all the buildings. xiii. Household members do not respond for the joint verification for the assets numbered included located beyond RoW boundary xiv. DHs expressed that they may face difficulties in admitting students in the new location. Similarly, ration card, gas connection, etc. xv. DHs required to be shifted according to their caste and religious group xvi. DHs change their options in deciding compensations as the land identified for resettlement is not known. They opt for house as compensation if the resettlement site is located is in the vicinity. xvii. As the squatter could not reside the hut due to dilapidated condition of the during baseline survey, did not want to spend money towards repairing the house and rented out a house in the nearby area and has ID for the previously numbered squatter house in the project area. xviii. The owner has rented out the shop and the same was rented the shop to other person. In this case, owner, primary rented person and the present rented person all together demand for compensation. xix. It has been long gap since the baseline census survey was conducted, hence the employees of the enterprises changed. xx. The elders and vulnerable persons like widows and women headed households could not decide that whether they opt for house or cash. Since, very old persons, do not have any children or relatives, could not decide. xxi. In Ponnirai located in Harichandra river, nearly 30 houses constructed just on the right bank belong to PWD land were given patta in the year 2005 by the then District Collector of Thiruvarur. Based on the patta, DHs have built concrete houses. xxii. Some houses included as DHs (numbered assets as DHs) during baseline survey have houses in Government Land located beyond RoW stone and do not possess patta or any other title for the property. Those households insist to be included in this project for want of houses. Hence, those houses are located outside the RoW boundary stones were not considered for joint verification. xxiii. RoW stones are missing in some places, and in some places RoW stones were not laid.

Special cases could be considered for resettlement i. Though some houses/shops situated near RoW boundary stone got affected and likely to be affected by raising height of river banks

Challenges 1. The mindset of owners of houses and shops abutting RoW boundary stones are to encroach river bank after the rehabilitation works are completed. 2. Some of the households have started laying waste water drainage pipelines in to the river

Meeting has been conducted by Project Director and Meeting Excerpts

 Project Director advised to complete the joint verification of DHs located within the execution area, so that those DHs could be resettled at the first stage and the civil works could be done.  Project Director suggested to resettle all the DHs in the lands already identified lands and to provide vertical houses (G+1) wherever it is possible.

During Joint verification, it was found that the DHs in Pandavaiyar and vellaiyar residing in some hamlets were provided patta through different schemes by the Government for constructing houses on their own. Due to the following reasons, those DHs could not construct houses and the lands kept vacant.

Reasons for not constructing houses by DHs in patta lands

i. Patta given to DHs but specific plot was not allotted to the DHs ii. Allotted lands need to be filled iii. DHs not afford to construct houses due to lack of money

Advantage for the project

i. No need for identification of land to DHs for those who have pstta land ii. CAVSCDP and Revenue officials could jointly workout for accommodating more DHs wherever more space is available.

Case -1

River Pandavaiyar - Erayangudi Hamlet, At Erayangudi village of Taluk, Nagapattinam District, 19 DHs were allotted patta land of 3 cents (One ares) in the year 2007 but without specific plot, where 120 pattas given to other families also. Hence 19 DHs could be given houses after providing them the specific place in the allotted place. This could be done jointly by the CAVSCDP, Revenue Officials and DHs of CAVSCDP.

Case-2 River Pandavaiyar - Agaram Village, Nagapattinam District Ten DHs have encroached space in river bank by extending their old houses which are in dilapidated condition and not suitable for living. The encroached portion fall within RoW and will be affected by the project execution. Hence, those dilapidated houses could be demolished and reconstructed in situ.

DHs residing at Agaram and Darkas Hamlets were given Patta at Aagaram hamlet itself and DHs did not constructed houses as they lack money to build houses. DHs of Darkas did not accept to resettle at their patta lands and wanted to continue in the same place, after having a focus group discussion with DHs, agreed to resettle in the patta lands provided for them and requested to build houses through CAVSCDP.

Case - 3

River Vellaiyar - Athur Village, Radhanallur, Thiruvarur Taluk, Thiruvarur District In Athangarai Street, Athur village 39 DHs were given patta. All households have contributed money as donation to meet additional money (market value) and purchased 3.5 acres of land at Keelatheru of Radhanallur village along with the grant provide to Government in the year 1999 and 68 pattas were given including some households from Radhanallur and Karukkangudi. Each were given 1 ares i.e about 3 cents of land. Of 68 beneficiaries, 29 households reside in Radhanallur and Karukkangudi and settled in their patta lands available in their own villages and those household will not utilize the land provided in Keelatheru.

As the DHS are not afford to fill the land and construct houses, the land kept vacant. DHs are willing to resettle at the Keelatheru. Approach road is good, just 0.5 kms away from the present place of residence and the place can be filled with the soil available within 0.5 kms in the river bed. DHs are willing to work as labourers during construction.

Case - 4

River Vellaiyar – Mupathikottaham hamlet , Therku Panaiyur Revenue Village, Thirukuvalai Taluk In Mupathikottaham hamlet, houses of 22 DHs were built 30 years ago by one of the Government schemes and presently those houses are in dilapidated condition. All houses were given patta. All the project affected houses are not suitable for living and hence, those dilapidated houses could be demolished and new houses can be constructed in situ through CAVSCDP. Besides the possibilities of constructing in situ houses, patta were given to 11 DHs in Government land.

Stretches where Resurvey of RoW Required During joint verification, the team could not finalize the DHs, whether their houses will be affected by the project. Hence, resurvey of PWD land need to be done, locations and reasons for undertaking land resurvey is given below for immediate action.
