Details of Community Consultations I. INTRODUCTION A. Background 1. Jharkhand state was carved out of Bihar state in the year 2000. The state is rich in mineral and natural resources resulting in presence of big industrial areas, with large opportunity for further development due to encouraging government policies and availability of skilled manpower. The state has seen strong and steady growth in the past few years; however, it is less urbanized than all India average in 2011, the state had an urbanization level of 24.05% compared to India’s 31.2% (2011 census data). The urbanization has however picked up in recent years and projected to catch up after 2030. 2. The coverage and quality of urban services in Jharkhand state are below national service level standards. These lead to poor quality of life of inhabitants, constrained urbanization and growth, and low competitiveness of cities. Access to basic services is critical to women and other vulnerable populations’ well-being, and the lack of it adversely impacts practical gender needs that exacerbate women’s drudgery and time poverty. 3. The proposed Jharkhand Urban Water Supply Improvement Project (JUWSIP) would support urban service improvement strategies and policy initiatives of the Government of Jharkhand (GOJ) to contribute to the sustainable cities that are spatially, economically, and socially inclusive developed under the Jharkhand Vision and Action Plan 2021.1The project will complement ongoing efforts of the GOJ for urban infrastructure and service improvement and institutional reforms under various national flagship programs.2 4. The Project is proposed to be funded by GOJ in assistance with Government of India (GOI) and Asian Development Bank (ADB). Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of GOJ is the executing agency and Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Development Company Limited (JUIDCO) will be the implementing agency (IA) for the project. 5. JUWSIP will finance infrastructure investments in water supply in four prioritized urban local bodies (ULBs). The towns selected include Ranchi and three towns located in economically and socially backward areas of Hussainabad, Medininagar and Jhumri Telaiya. 6. New intake arrangement for water supply in Ranchi City is one the projects proposed under Ranchi Phase II (Package C). The project components proposed under the package are, intake arrangement consisting of a 950 m forebay channel, with desilting arrangement and new sump with raw water pumping station of 370 MLD in Rukka reservoir (intermediate year– 2035 and ultimate year-2050) and pumping arrangements of 223 MLD (base year-2020) as well as 350 m long raw water rising main of 1900 mm dia for transmission of raw water to the new 213 MLD WTP (which is being proposed under the package JUWSIP/01). B. Scope of the Report 7. This Due Diligence Report (DDR) is prepared for the proposed Phase II, Package C of JUWSIP/JUIDCO, the report is prepared based on the available preliminary design and the Detailed Project Report (DPR of Ranchi Water Supply Package II C) The DDR will be updated 1 The original project title of “Jharkhand Urban Infrastructure Investment Project”, as mentioned in India: Country Operations Business Plan (2018-2020) is changed as JUWSIP. 2 The national flagship programs launched by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) include Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Smart Cities Mission (SCM) and Swachh Bharat Mission. 2 and reconfirmed for final involuntary resettlement impacts after completion of detailed design in sections ready for implementation. 8. A due diligence process was conducted to examine the land acquisition and resettlement issues in detail based on the preliminary design, aligned with Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement (ADB SPS), 2009 and no impacts found on the any person or structure. This report describes the findings and provides copies of relevant documents, community consultations and photographs. 9. The DDR will be updated and reconfirmed for final impacts following detailed design and based on detailed measurement survey (DMS). The draft DDR will be reviewed and disclosed on IA and ADB websites. 10. During detailed design, involuntary resettlement related impacts will be reassessed and if required, a resettlement plan will be prepared and shared with ADB for approval. The final social safeguards document will be reviewed and disclosed on IA and ADB websites. No civil works contract package should be awarded, and construction started before the completion of final document (DDR or Resettlement Plan) and implementation of resettlement plan if applicable, for the said package. The IA is responsible to hand over the project land/site/s to the contractor free of encumbrance. II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. About the Project Area 11.
