A resettlement plan is developed using approved Resettlement Framework (RF) and Indigenous People Planning Framework (IPPF). It is presumed that a significant number of subprojects will not make any IR impact, so Involuntary Resettlement (IR) Due Diligence Report (DDR) has been prepared in avoiding resettlement impacts. 3. Project interventions have been managed by the Executing Agency (MPUDCL) with the technical support of PMC at Bhopal and five PIUs located at regional levels i.e. Bhopal, Indore, Sagar, Jabalpur and Gwalior. Apart from technical (engineering) and managerial 1 (procurement and contract management) components, social safeguard issues are also important component.

This is the second semi-annual report which present progress of the subprojects (69 towns of water supply scheme and 4 towns of sewerage) under Tranche 1 of MPUSIP from February 2018 to July 2018. 5. Social safeguard reports such as IR Due Diligence Report (DDR) & resettlement plan (RP) and IP DDR are prepared for the subproject towns under packages having nil or insignificant temporary IR and IP impacts. Altogether, 69 subproject towns of water supply scheme (WSS) and 4 subproject towns of sewerage under Tranche 1 are considered under category ‘B’ because of insignificant involuntary resettlement impact. It is confirmed that none of the sub project is identified up to now, which will make the negative impact on Indigenous People (IP). No issue of private land acquisition emerged till date where the livelihood of the people would get impacted. A Resettlement Plan (RP) is prepared for subproject water supply town i.e Khajuraho & Rajnagar, although significant impact is not expected. 6. Summary of IR and IP reports were prepared in vernacular
