PROJECT BACKGROUND 1. The Government of Madhya Pradesh (GOMP) has been using a combination of budgetary, PPP, and ADB financing, to improve road network in Madhya Pradesh. ADB has supported numerous state highways and rural roads. However, the intermediate tiers, major district roads (MDRs), have not been specifically targeted for improvement resulting in overall poor road network connectivity. MDRs form the key linkage between rural, peri-urban and urban areas, and have to be essentially developed to complete state road connectivity. GoMP has now proposed to improve the MDRs through the Madhya Pradesh District Connectivity Sector Project (the Project) financed by ADB1. The Project will improve transport connectivity in the state by rehabilitating and upgrading major district roads (MDRs). The Project constitutes (i) rehabilitating and upgrading about 1530 km of MDRs; (ii) improving road maintenance and asset management; and (iii) developing an efficient accident response system. MPRDC specifically, targeting MDRs to form key linkage between rural, semi-urban and urban areas and complete state road connectivity. The Executing Agency (EA) will be the GoMP acting through the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC) and the IAs will be the 10 Project Implementation Units (PIUs). 2. The Project will improve the 54 subproject roads identified by MPRDC. The list of all 54 road sections identified for Phase-5 are provided in Appendix-1.Since the project will follow a sector loan modality, 9 subprojects roads with 250 km length were selected to screen significance of potential social safeguard issues and determine the scope of mitigation measures to address these issues. This due diligence report covers assessment of thirty nine non- sample MDRs totalling about 1040.47 km road length. The construction period for all roads under the project will include a 12 – 24 month construction period and a 5 years performance based maintenance period.

As a part of project preparation, detailed social impact assessment has been carried out for all thirty nine non-sample subprojects. This Social Due Diligence Report (SDDR) is based on the review of final detailed design report and social assessment of individual subprojects carried out during the project preparation. A Resettlement Framework (RF) and an Indigenous People’s Planning Framework (IPPF) is already prepared for the entire project under Madhya Pradesh District Roads I Sector Project to guide the preparation of non-sample subprojects. The RF and IPPF are prepared in compliance with relevant policies and regulations of the Government of India, GoMP, and the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS). II. SUBPROJECT COMPONENTS AND DESIGN CRITERIA 4. The subproject activities involve improvement of existing major district roads within available RoW. The road widening activities primarily will comprise of raising the embankment at certain locations and its stabilization including construction of retaining wall if required, especially near water bodies overlay on the existing carriageway, junction improvement, and construction of minor bridges, culvert and RCC drain in built-up section. 5. The existing Right of Way (RoW) of the subproject roads varies from 12 to 20 meters, which is not properly demarcated on ground. Keeping in view the unavailability of the uniform RoW and existing ribbon development along the subproject roads, multiple design criteria are adopted to ensure avoidance of any adverse impacts to the roadside settlers.
