E. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
E1. Introduction
Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRT&H) “the Authority” with an aim to provide better
connectivity of various existing National Highways, has launched National Green Highways
Mission (NGHM) following the promulgation of ‘Green Highways Policy’ in September 2015. Its
objectives include developing a systematic framework for integrated green corridor development
along NHs and building resilient ecosystems in form of green corridors for combating climate
change effects.
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, MORT&H (“Authority”), GoI is intended to develop
National Highway 516E, an inter-state highway lying in the state Andhra Pradesh. It connects
Bharatmala Corridor viz NH-16 at Rajahmundry and NH-26 at Vizianagaram respectively. Out of
total stretch in A.P a length of 209.74 km of NH-516E spread in three stretches have been
selected: i) Bowdara to Vizianagaram road (26.93 KM) ii) Paderu to Araku (upto Bhalluguda)
49.37 KM and iii) Koyyuru to Paderu (133.09). In this project rehabilitation and up gradation of
existing highway to two lanes / two lanes with paved shoulders have been proposed for three
stretches, whereas this report deals with the Paderu – Araku stretch of NH- 516E ( 49.37 Km).
The project road starts from Paderu at existing chainage Km 2+416 to 27+450 on Other District
Road (ODR), 27+450 to 40+000 on State Highway (SH-8), and 118+400 to 104+400 on State
Highway (SH-39) ends at Araku on NH 516E in Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh.
E2. Project Purpose
The project is envisaged to augment capacity for safe and efficient movement of traffic in the
National Highways (NH-516E) corridor where the intensity of traffic has increased significantly.
Improvements of these selected national highways would improve connectivity, facilitate speedy
and smooth transportation with less interruption at a lesser transport cost and in less time,
induce economic development of existing growth centres, provide impetus for the development
of new growth centres, employment generation and as a consequence poverty alleviation in the
project areas.
E3. Approach and Methodology
The approach underlying the assessment of social impacts and developing appropriate mitigation
strategies is based on the principles of local participation and consultations with stakeholders,
including vulnerable groups. The SIA study has been carried out with a participatory approach by
involving the stakeholders, particularly the project beneficiaries and likely affected persons
through a series of consultative processes and techniques. The impacts have been assessed by
collecting both quantitative and qualitative types of data.
E4. Land Acquisition and Impacts
Land acquisition is adopted as per the final alignment designs and the proposed RoW which is
considered to be 24 m in the existing road, 30 m at realignment/bypasses and 17 m in the forest
locations. Land is to be acquired for bypass, realignments, junction improvement, curve
1.1 | P a g e
improvements, widening. The additional land required as per final design, which is 46.65 ha,
includes both government and private land. Of the total land (46.65 ha), 31.19 ha is private
land, 14.46 ha is government land and 1ha is forest land which will be required for the project.
As per the Census survey, a total of 299 structures will be impacted including 252 private
structures, 35 government structures and 12 CPRs; all 252 structures belong to private owners,
no structures found on government land; no squatters and encroachers are getting affected;
majority of the CPRs are religious temples. Summary of the total affected structures are given in
Table E-1.

E6. Mitigation Measures
Conscious efforts have been made for avoidance of land acquisition and minimize the adverse
social impacts as integral part of the entire project preparation and design of the proposed road.
Wherever unavoidable, efforts to minimize impacts through design interventions have worked out
for the project. Improvements are planned within the available EROW/ land width. The cross
sections are designed to accommodate with the existing ROW/ land width.
As per the width required in the Corridor of Impact (CoI) for the actual construction of the road,
which include carriageway, shoulders and embankments, the social inputs to the project design
shall ensure that the COI is reduced, within the acceptable design principle and standards, to
minimize the adverse social impacts.
E7. Cost Estimation
A broad resettlement budget has been estimated taking into account the ongoing market rate
and its guidelines for compensation for land; R&R assistance and administrative costs. The
estimated Resettlement Budget INR 43.52 Crores.
E8. Grievance Redress Mechanism
In the project RP implementation there is a need for an efficient Grievance Redress Mechanism
(GRM) that will assist the DPs in resolving their queries and complaints. Therefore, formation of
Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) will be most important for grievance redress and it is
anticipated that most, if not all grievances, would be settled by the GRC. The grievance redress
committee members and their responsibilities are given in details in Chapter 12 of GRM.

1 DETAIL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRT&H) “the Authority” with an aim to provide better
connectivity of various existing National Highways, has launched National Green Highways
Mission (NGHM) following the promulgation of ‘Green Highways Policy’ in September 2015. Its
objectives include developing a systematic framework for integrated green corridor development
along NHs and building resilient ecosystems in form of green corridors for combating climate
change effects. The green corridors, relevant from both climate mitigation and adaptation
perspective, are being seen as the solution to fulfill India’s commitment for voluntary reduction
of carbon emissions. The Government of India (GoI) plans to carry out plantation along the NHs
with participation of the local communities, farmers, NGOs, private sector, government agencies
and Forest Departments (state level).
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, MORT&H (“Authority”), GoI is intended to develop
National Highway 516E, an inter-state highway lying in the State Andhra Pradesh. It connects
Bharatmala Corridor viz NH-16 at Rajahmundry and NH-26 at Vizianagaram respectively. The
project road starts from Rajahmundry and connects the habitations of Rampachodovaram –
Koyyuru- Paderu- Araku – Bhalluguda – Bowdara- Vizianagarm. This National Highway covers a
distance of 375.90 km in Andhra Pradesh. Out of total stretch in A.P a length of 209.74 km of
NH-516E spread in three stretches have been selected: i) Bowdara to Vizianagaram road (26.93
KM) ii) Paderu to Araku (upto Bhalluguda) 49.37 KM and iii) Koyyuru to Paderu (133.09).
M/s SATRA Infrastructure Management Services Private Limited has been appointed to establish
the technical, economical and financial viability of the project and prepare Feasibility and
Preliminary Design report for rehabilitation and up gradation of existing highway to two lanes /
two lanes with paved shoulders for Paderu – Araku stretch of NH- 516E of a total length of 49.37
Km. The project road starts from Paderu at existing chainage Km 2+416 to 27+450 on Other
District Road (ODR), 27+450 to 40+000 on State Highway (SH-8), and 118+400 to 104+400 on
State Highway (SH-39) ends at Araku on NH 516E in Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh.
1.2 PROJECT (GHNCP) PURPOSE
The project is envisaged to augment capacity for safe and efficient movement of traffic in the
National Highways (NH-516E) corridor where the intensity of traffic has increased significantly.
Improvements of these selected national highways would improve connectivity, facilitate speedy
and smooth transportation of bulk goods with less interruption at a lesser transport cost and in
less time, induce economic development of existing growth centres, provide impetus for the
development of new growth centres, employment generation and as a consequence poverty
alleviation in the project areas. In this context, some of the major social development objectives
of the project comprise the following:
• Everybody concerned is a partner in the development process;
1.4 | P a g e
• No one is adversely affected due to the implementation of the project; any adverse
impact is to be appropriately mitigated;
• Maximization of the benefits to the people arising from the road rehabilitation and
capacity augmentation programme while minimizing the negative social impacts on
the affected people by incorporating the social safety measures.
The objectives of GNHCP are
 To develop a systematic framework for Integrated Green Corridor Development along the
proposed National Highways.
 To provide better connectivity of the various existing national highways in the country
and induce socio-economic development’s in the project area.
 Build resilient ecosystem in the form of green Corridor along the national highways for
combating global warming and climate change effects, optimum Green House Gasses
sequestration, off site conservation of RET species of the region.
 To create sustainable employment to the locals in the project area.
1.3 THE PROJECT ROAD DESCRIPTION
The project road section has lane configuration from single lane to two lane. It has Single lane
width of 22.27km length, intermediate lane to a length of 5.5km and two lane of 21.6 Km length.
It passes through major habitations in schedule areas like Paderu, Hukumpeta, Dumbriguda,
Araku. The terrain is the rolling plain for the entire length. The Condition of road is poor (70% of
the section is average or poor) to very poor condition with earthen shoulders (width is between
0.4 m and 0.75 m) except at a few isolated built-up locations. The built-up section along the
project road constitutes to a length of 4.45 Km. Congestion due to vehicular and pedestrian
movements have increased vulnerability to accidents and safety issues to the road users. There
are many locations along the road alignment which requires geometric improvements to maintain
the riding quality and hindrance free movements of the vehicles to avoid accidents. Geometric
Improvement of the highway is proposed for the entire stretch. All the geometrically deficient
curves are proposed for the realignment and curve improvements.
A total 12 major/minor bituminous road meet the project road at various locations. The land
along the project road is mostly agricultural land, except at built up areas, where there is
nominal barren land. There is an additional land requirement for about 31.19 ha from a total land
parcel of 312 approximately. The total numbers of families affected due to impact on structures
are 252 and all of them are located on private lands and the project has no non-titleholders
squatting or encroaching on public land. The affected structures include all types of categories
such as residential, commercial, residential cum commercial besides others such as cattle sheds,
toilets, compound walls, etc. In addition there are 47 CPRs that comprise of 5 schools, 6 school
compound walls, 12 religious structures, 15 bus stands, 3 government buildings and others 6
such as compound walls, toilets, hand pumps, taps etc. Among the affected households there 67
vulnerable families comprising of 60 Schedule Tribes, 1 Schedule Caste and 6 old age.

1.5 PROPOSED PROJECT ROAD
MoRTH has taken up the development of the NH-516E Paderu to Araku (Upto Bhallaguda) section
in the state of Andhra Pradesh into 2-lane with the paved shoulder configuration. The proposed
up-gradation of the NH-516E aims to:
 Improve horizontal and vertical alignment of the existing road

 The quality of existing pavement condition is poor and proposed for reconstruction
 Increase the carrying capacity of the existing traffic volume and enable it to cater to
future traffic
 Enhance mobility to the remote places and improve accessibility of the existing highways
 Boosts Tourism in hill stations Araku, Lambasinghi and Borra Caves
1.6 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT
Design improvement in the project road is done taking into consideration the lane configuration,
widening scheme, speed, embankment height and the urban or rural setting of the road.
Improvements in the geometric design have been proposed in rural area to eliminate the
substandard curvatures along the project road.
(a) Design Speed
Design speed in general depends on the function of the road and terrain conditions and shall be
as per schedule B Clause 2.2 The design speed shall be the minimum design speed of 100/80 km
per hour for plain/rolling terrain. As per Clause 2.1, IRC SP: 73 - 2015, the design speeds
adopted for various terrain classifications are presented in below table (Terrain is classified by
the general slope of the ground across the highway alignment).

Design speed (km/hr)

Cross slope of the
Nature of Terrain
ground (%)
Ruling Minimum
Plain& Rolling Upto 25 100 80
Mountainous& Steep >25 60 40
In general, the ruling design speed is adopted for the various geometric design features of the
road. Minimum design speed is adopted where site conditions are restrictive and adequate land
width is not available.
The proposed design speed varies from 80-50 km/h in rolling terrain and 50 km/h in hilly terrain.
Adopted design standards are given in Table 1-16.
(b) Embankment Height
The embankment height shall be fixed in such a way that the difference between the elevation of
top of sub grade and High Flood Level (HFL) is not less than 1.0m. Where there is no flooding
observed, the existing road may be retained.
In many sections, the road top level is almost equal to the adjacent ground level or the
embankment height is less than 0.5 m. from adjoining ground. Some locations may need raising
to address drainage problem. However the proposed FRL shall be designed in such a way that
nowhere the edge of proposed roadway goes below the ground adjacent to toe of embankment
slope. In this respect special care shall be taken at the locations of super elevated curves.
(c) Bypasses in the Project Road
Two (2) bypasses have been planned at Km 7+300 to Km 9+200 at Hukumpet and Km 40+250
to Km 48+000 at Araku Valley with total length of 9.500 km.
(d) Realignments in the Project Road
Realignments in 12 sections have been proposed of 6.122 Km length to improve horizontal

alignment of the road geometry and for the safety of the road users. Details in Chainage-wise
are given below in Table 1-6.

(d) Space for Utility and Plantation
In general, the space for utility-cum-plantation shall be 2.0 m as per IRC guidelines. This may,
however, be reduced to a minimum of 1.0 m if necessary land is not available or cannot be
acquired and if there is no need for afforestation.
(e) Proposed Lane Configuration
Based on the traffic demand forecast and considering a Level of Service (LoS) “B” as the desired
LoS, as recommended by IRC. It is apparent that the existing 2-lane roadway needs capacity
augmentation to a roadway with 2-lane plus 1.5 m wide paved shoulder and 2m earthen
shoulder on either side.
Apart from capacity increase, paved shoulders play a big role in roadway safety as well as
protection of carriageway pavement. Therefore, the existing road is proposed for widening to 2
lane + 1.5 m paved shoulder and 2m earthen shoulder on either side.
The improvement proposal envisages widening of the existing road to standard two-lane
carriageway having paved carriage shall be 10 m (7.0m CW/1.5m PS & 2m Earthern Shoulder on
either side) in accordance with the typical cross section drawings. The typical cross section has
been shown in Figure 2 below for Project road.

2 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

2.1 INTRODUCTION
The approach underlying the assessment of social impacts and developing appropriate mitigation
strategies is based on the principles of local participation and consultations with stakeholders,
including vulnerable groups. The SIA study has been carried out with a participatory approach by
involving the stakeholders, particularly the project beneficiaries and likely affected persons
through a series of consultative processes and techniques with the following objectives.
 Collect information using suitable tools regarding project impacts;

 Differentiate the properties and assets likely to be affected by type of ownership and
construction, etc;
 Assess the extent of loss of properties (land, structure and others) of individual as
well as that of community and loss of livelihood;
 Conduct meaningful consultations with likely PAPs, community and other
stakeholders;
 Establish a baseline profile of population, social structure, employment, sources of
income, access to social services and facilities, etc.
The methods that were adopted during the survey and social analysis and assessment are given
below.
2.2 CENSUS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY
A socio-economic profile for the project area has been prepared based on the information collected
from various secondary sources. Census and socio-economic survey was conducted to generate
baseline information on socio-economic conditions of the PAPs and to assess the extent of impacts
due to proposed upgrading of project road for each structures and properties. The survey was
carried out by using a Census and Socioeconomic survey questionnaire (Annexure 2.1). A
Resettlement Action Plan has also been prepared for the project, based on Census baseline survey
and socio-economic survey of 35% of affected families.. The approach adopted is as follows:
 Zeroing-in on the project impact zone, covering all the villages and other habitations falling
within area.
 Collecting base line socio-economic survey includes the collection of information from
primary and secondary sources for impact zone. Information with respect to the villages in
the project impact zone in terms of census village code, name of the tehsil in which a
particular village falls, number of households, population level1 and growth of village
population during the last decade, Household Information, Social Status Type of Family,

Directorate of Economic and Statistics, Vijayawada, GoIAP, 2016 & Census 2011 data.
19 | P a g e
Income from Various sources, Vulnerable category of the household, Type of inventory
losses, impact category etc.
 Collection of secondary information from different government sources like Census of

India, Economic and Statistics department, agriculture department, social welfare &
women development department
 Gathering macro level socio-economic information, at Mandal/Tahsil level, with the help of
secondary data.
 Identifying critical knowledge/information gaps which impede an objective and reliable

assessment of the socio-economic impacts of the project.
 Zeroing-in on the data/information to be collected for a fair impact assessment and

deciding upon the sources and means to collecting the same.
 Identifying the key stakeholders and potential respondents for collecting the required
information.
 Drawing a sampling frame and size specifying sample villages/municipal wards, number of
households to be contacted for primary data/information collection and agencies to be
contacted for eliciting information on various aspects relevant to the SIA.
 Finalisation of survey instruments, constitution of a survey team and orientation of field

investigators.
 Carrying out field surveys in the sample villages/municipal wards and simultaneously
carrying out data accuracy and reliability checks.
 Analysis of primary and secondary information collected from different sources. On the
basis of primary data, analysis has been done on potential social and economic impacts,
categorization of impacts, risks, potentials impacts and alternatives etc .
 Processing, tabulation and analysis of data with the help of appropriate statistical tools.
 Interpretation of data to arrive at valid conclusions. The process involves documentation of

social assessment process and impact information.
2.3 STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS
To identify social impacts and concerns, consultations were undertaken with primary stakeholders:
beneficiaries, poor and vulnerable groups, people who may potentially be impacted adversely by
the project, and the implementing agency. Consultations were also carried out with secondary
stakeholders: local community based organizations (CBOs), Integrated Tribal Development
Authority (ITDA) and community representatives as well as government departments etc A team
comprising of various social development professionals carried out these consultations. Prior to the
commencement of consultations extensive training of the field teams by a social scientist on the
approach, methodology and tools was carried out. Types of consultations conducted are as follows:
20 | P a g e
Community consultations were held along major settlements near to the proposed alignment
and with those who are likely to be connected because of implementation of the proposed project.
Meetings have been held with affected titleholders, cultivators, shopkeepers etc. at few important
junctions along the project stretch
Focus group discussions were conducted with a cross-section of men and women in the
community. The objective of these discussions was to gain an in-depth understanding of project
issues and concerns from homogeneous groups of discussants, including people who may be
affected from loss of land/livelihood. The consultations focused on: inclusiveness in participation of
community members, perceptions and concerns about the positive and negative social impacts of
the project, and willingness of community members in providing land.
Gender Analysis has been given proper emphasis during public consultation discussions.
Separate discussions were held with women so that they could share their experience on issues
such as by pass, bus bays, employment, transportation issues. Their collective perception about
project impacts and probable benefits particularly for the women was recorded and separate
document on Gender Based Violence (GBV) has been prepared separately in Volume 2
Individual Level Consultations were conducted enabling the stakeholders to speak freely and
confidentially about controversial and sensitive issues and to build personal relations with
stakeholders and record the interviews. The purpose is to understand the social concerns of the
directly or indirectly impacts persons.
Individual consultation at this level will gathers opinion and views of the directly or indirectly
impacted families. During the social survey, with the interview based questionnaire the
consultations were carried out along the project road with PAP’s. Stakeholder’s engagement
techniques for gathering information are presented in table 2.2.
The outcomes of the public consultations were helpful in three major aspects of project design and
the tools of consultations have been presented in table 2.1.

2.4 TRIBAL PEOPLE PARTICIPATION AND DEVELOPMENT (TPPD)
TPPD ensures smooth implementation of proposed project in Fifth Schedule area of

Vishakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. TPPD and its plan are prepared to adhere to national
legislations and its policies and World Bank Policy OP 4.10 Indigenous people. It suggests for
assessment of impacts and preparation of mitigation measures where Scheduled Tribes population
are involved. The anticipated adverse impacts are due to land acquisition and partially affected
structures which may cause sort of relocation that have traditional ownership or that are under
customary occupation. The tribe population play a role in enhancing/promoting the cultural
heritage of the project area and its ST community of the proposed road development
interventions.
The villages under the scheduled areas of “PESA Act” protect the tribal population from
exploitation by making Gram Sabha’s and Gram Panchayat centers for self-governance and
22 | P a g e
exclusively empowers local which safeguard and preserve the tradition and customs of the people
and their cultural identity, community resources, and customary mode of dispute resolution.
TPPD suggests carrying out Free, Prior, and Informed Consultations (FPIC)/Gram Sabha for
proposed project which are in Fifth Schedule Areas. This is with the objective of obtaining their
views and suggestions regarding the proposed project interventions. Gram Sabha’s and
Panchayats consultations under ‘PESA act’ intends to fully identify the views of affected community
and ascertain their broad community support for the project during various stages such as project
preparation, implementation and maintenance. In consultation with the affected Tribal population
in the project area, potential adverse impact were identified and a Tribal Development Plan has
been prepared as detailed in Volume 2.
2.5 SOCIAL IMPACTS
Social impacts identify the potential for loss of land, assets/structures, livelihoods, willingness of
the community to provide land to the project, and other significant social impacts. Where the
extent of adverse social impacts is minor and no displacement or loss of assets or livelihoods is
expected, no further action is required. However, where the social impact indicates that land
acquisition and/or loss of assets are unavoidable, appropriate resettlement plans will be prepared.
2.6 RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK
Major resettlement is unlikely under the project. However, in order to address the impacts on land
acquisition and involuntary Resettlement under this project, Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF)
has been followed which addresses all impacts arising from: (i) loss of land; (ii) loss of
homes/structures; (iii) loss of livelihood systems/income opportunity; and (iv) loss of community
property resources such as religious and cultural structures. RPF lays down the principles and
procedures for management of social impacts caused by the project and guide the social impact
assessment and preparation of mitigation plans including Resettlement Action Plans and Tribal
Development Plans for the project in accordance with GoI policies, State laws and World Bank OP.

3 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT

PLAN
3.1 Need For Minimisation Of Impact
Development of infrastructure projects like National Highways/State Highways improvements and

upgradation of the existing roads will have adverse impacts on the society. Such adverse impacts
are considered as issues that are directly and indirectly affects residents which includes loss of
land and structure, loss of livelihood, loss of community property along with the fragmentation of
the society. If such negative issues are not addressed properly, it may happen that the outcome
of the project negative impacts would outweigh the project positive impacts, thus putting a
question mark on the project sustainability.
However, efforts were made to minimize negative impacts through intervention of world Bank
policies and Rehabilitation and Resettlement measures by exploring all the feasible options without
compromising the safety aspects. The spirit of the policies has been followed by while preparing
the RAP for this project.
3.2 Design Consideration
3.2.1 Proposed Design Standards for Highways
The project road generally runs in rolling plain terrain in the state of Andhra Pradesh. As per IRC
design manual for 2 lanes and 4 lanes, 30m in widening of existing road to 2lane with paved
shoulder has been proposed. At isolated locations like junctions, rest areas, high embankments,
entry and exit location of service road etc the safety aspects to be considered for the proposed
designs.
The design criteria, method applied for important components of the project are as follows:
Geometric Design : IRC Standards and MoRT&H Manuals as well as circulars on National Highways
supplemented by AASHTO policy on geometric design.
New Pavement
- IRC 37-2012 and AASHTO Design guide, for design of flexible pavements
- IRC 58-2015 for design of rigid pavements
Structure Design : Bridge Codes as mentioned in QAP Road Furniture & : Related standards of IRC &
MoRT&H publications Road side Facilities Besides the above, standards and specifications mentioned
in IRC:SP:73-2015 and IRC:SP:84-2014 shall be followed strictly wherever applicable
Based on the outcome of the surveys/investigations, design considerations, Road safety audit, social
and environment screening of the existing section, the improvement plan for proposed highway has
been prepared by the technical design team.
The improvement/up-gradation proposals of Existing Road to two lane Paved shoulder include the
provisions Geometric Improvements, realignments, widening proposals and reconstruction, Grade
separators, Pavement, Road Junctions, Bridges and Cross-Drainages, Special Problems and Road
24 | P a g e
Appurtenances. In some cases new alignments (by-pass) and realignments may also be required.
The adopted cross sectional elements as per the design standards and salient features of the project
are presented below Table 3-1.

3.2.2 By-Passes and Alternative Alignments
Analysis of alternatives involves the systematic study of the possible future conditions in the
project area in response to the set of the alignment options. The comparative evaluation to select
the final alignment will be depended largely on the site constraints and construction methodology.
Some of the key factors to conduct of these studies to locate potential alternative bypass
alignments and realignments are as follows:
 Land use and availability of land

 Minimum impact on the existing settlements, Commercial property and public utilities
 Minimizing interface with the religious structure such as temple, mosque, churches and
crematories
 Optimum utilization of the existing pavement and RoW at the location of the curve
improvement
 Traffic capacity and road safety should be optimized
 Minimize changes to the existing drainage system
Based on the above factors, the following Cross Sections have been adopted
 Widening is done along the existing alignment eccentrically/Concentrically in the rural

areas and built-up areas.
 In the absence of the adequate RoW, the deficient curves are improved as per the guides
of the MoRTH.
25 | P a g e
 Efforts made to keep the additional land requirement to bare minimum through
accommodating the widening within the existing RoW.
 Number of realignments proposed in compatible with the geometric improvements and
operational requirements as per site conditions. Two bypasses are proposed to avoid the
dense build-up areas at Hukumpet and Araku Valley.
 In transition build up area, the widening has been proposed in the existing RoW to restrict
future encroachments.
Many section of the project road are passing through the congested towns. Possibility of
realignment/ bypass along the project road has been examined through field verification and
surveys. As stated earlier, where the RoW is not sufficient to improve the geometrics and there is
congestion and poor traffic condition. Then bypasses are proposed at Hukumpet (Km 7+300 to Km
9+500 – 1.8km) and Araku (Km 40+350 to Km 48+140 – 7.8 km) and realignments and curve
improvements of length 6.6 Km to improve the sub-standards curves and poor geometry.
3.3 Analysis of Alternative
3.3.1 Hukumpet
The existing road in this section fall Km 7+320 to Km 9+200 and passes through the very
congested places with commercial cum residential activities along the project road. The available
width between the building line to building line is only 10.0 m. Initial public consultation was
conducted on 03.10.2018 at two location on the existing alignment. Figure 3-1 gives the satellite
imagery of the Hukumpet and alignment options explored for the bypass.
The alignment bypass proposed is to avoid the congested areas with the design length of 1.850 km
and area to be acquired is 5.3 ha on RHS found to be suitable. While the conditions are not
feasible for any other option as bypass to pass through the LHS as the length increases besides
overall costs for the resettlement and rehabilitation.
26 | P a g e
Figure 3-1: Analysis of Alternative at Hukumpet
3.3.2 Araku
This existing road in this section fall Km 116+750 to Km 108+500 and passes through the very
congested places with commercial cum residential activities along the project road. The available
width between the building line to building line is only 12.0 m to 18.0 m with the poor existing
geometry with lower speed. Initial public consultation was conducted on 03.10.2018 at two
location on the existing alignment. Figure 3-2 gives the satellite imagery of the Araku valley and
alignment options explored for the bypass.
The alignment bypass proposed is to avoid the dense build-up areas and improve geometry curves
with speed and road safety along design length of 7.8 km, connecting to the existing RUB and area
to be acquired is 20.9 ha on RHS found to be suitable. While the conditions are not feasible for any
other option as bypass to pass through the LHS as the length of road increases considering the
railway track and congested areas besides overall costs for the resettlement and rehabilitation.
27 | P a g e
Figure 3-2: Analysis of Alternative at Araku
3.3.3 Conclusion
Alternatives alignments options have been studies for the bypasses on the left hand side and found
not feasible as the alignment passes through the dense build up area and congestions, high cutting
of the hills, railway track and the length and cost is also high. For the suitable alignments no
structure will be affected and also reduces the overall road length as compared to the existing
length.

4 SOCIO- ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE PROJECT AREA

4.1 Socio-Economic Base line
The base line socio-economic information has been collected from various primary sources like
socio-economic condition of the population, impact on private structures (residential, commercial
and encroachments) in addition, detailed information on impact on community assets has also
been collected(religious structure, educational institutions are collected). The influence area has
been considered as the surrounding mandal’s of the project corridor and Visakhapatnam district of
Andhra Pradesh. The existing corridor length of 49.37 km covers Paderu, Hukumpeta, Dumbriguda
Araku Valley Mandal’s.
The proposed project road will improve the accessibility of the inhabitants of the rural areas to
education, health, employment, and trading opportunities and will consequently alleviate poverty
in the process. The improvement will help to increase new economic and employment
opportunities by providing improved linkages to markets, production centers and other areas of
economic opportunities. As a result, people will have wider options in buying and selling their
commodities. The villagers would be able to transport their produce faster and get more profit
margins instead of depending solely on local ‘markets’ and middlemen. Fourth, improved
connectivity will facilitate travel to tehsil headquarters and other local government/development
agencies. Women will especially benefit, since their mobility will be augmented both in terms of
access to social services, as well as access to higher levels of schooling. Women’s access to higher
levels of health care outside the village particularly during the time of childbearing will also
improve considerably. Hence, the proposed Project will bring in economic and social changes in the
area, which in turn would bring economic prosperity and would lead to poverty alleviation. Within
this given background, this section has made an attempt to understand the social, economic and
demographic characteristics of Paderu –Araku road which starts at existing chainage of 2+416
after the Paderu bypass on the Other District Road (ODR) and continue on SH-8 & SH-39 to end at
Km 104+400 at Araku of the proposed NH 516E which connects Bharatmala Corridor viz NH-16 at
Rajahmundry and NH-26 at Vizianagaram respectively.
4.2 Socio-Economic Profile of the Influence Zone
As mentioned earlier, considering influence zone to study the developments taking place within the
region, and noted possible improvements in the connectivity to major tourism locations etc., falling
within the proposed road. The details covered under the influence zone are demographic, socio
economic and cultural details from the secondary source of information from the District Handbook
Census 2015 of GoAP of post bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014 and census 2011.
After the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh the geographical area covers is 1, 62,760 sq km and ranks
as the 7th largest State in the country. Situated in a tropical region, the state has the 2nd longest
coastline in the country with a length of 974 km. The State has a forest area of 34,572 Sq km as
per the forest records, which accounts for 21.58% the total geographical area. The largest city in
Andhra Pradesh is the Visakhapatnam and “Telugu” is the major and official language of this state.

Visakhapatnam is the North Eastern coastal district of Andhra Pradesh and it is bounded on North
partly by the Orissa State and partly by the Vizianagaram District, on the South by the East
Godavari District, on the West by Orissa state and on the East by Bay of Bengal. There are two
distinct geography divisions. The strip of the land along the coast and the interior called the plains
divisions, and the hilly area of the Eastern Ghats adjoining on the North and West called the Tribal
Agency Divisions.
The Scheduled Areas in Andhra Pradesh is covered under the provisions of V Schedule of
Constitution of India. In the State scheduled areas extend over 14132.56 Sq. Kms in (5)
districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari,
covering (4,444) villages. The total mandals covered by Panchayats Extension to Scheduled
Area Act is 35 of total 660. The PESA Act is applicable to 588 Gram Panchayats of the total
12919. The Scheduled Tribe population in the State of Andhra Pradesh is 26.31 lakhs as per
District Handbook Census 2015. They constitute 5.532% of the total population of the State. There
are (35) Scheduled Tribes, out of which (6) tribal groups are categorized as Particularly
Vulnerable Tribal Groups3 (PVTGs) like Kondh, Kondareddi, Savara, Gadaba, Chenchu and
Porja etc. The PVTG are characterised by smaller in size and diminishing in number, backwardness
and isolation, use of pre agriculture technology and very low literacy.

4.4 Socio Economic Characteristics of the Project Corridor
The proposed road passes through plane and hilly terrain of scheduled areas of Visakhapatnam.
The majority of the tribal populations in this region are Bagata, Konda Dora, Kondha, Valmiki,
Mukha Dora, Proja tribes. These areas are governed by the provision of fifth schedule under the
constitution and PESA (Panchayat Extended to Schedule Area) ensure self-governance through
traditional Gram Sabhas for people living in Schedule areas. There are about 3373 villages under
the Panchayat Extension to the Scheduled areas under Integrated Tribal Development Authority
(ITDA) Paderu/Visakhapatnam. About an average of 90% in these areas belong to the schedule
tribes. These are tribes who are categorized as most vulnerable in nature without having much
contact with the outer world know as primitive tribes or Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups
(PVTG). These are very less developed among the tribal groups.
The project road improvement and upgradation will have significant impacts on the standard of
living of the people, their assets, livelihoods, and way of life, health, wellbeing, culture and
community. Planned development project impacts could be negative, as well as positive. The
socio-economic assessments seek to identify the impacts of the proposed project and focus on the
32 | P a g e
ways and means to minimize the incidents of negative impacts and suggest the mitigation
measures.
Therefore it is vital to understand the existing baseline socio-economic scenario in the study area
to analysis the magnitude of the possible impacts. The basic socio-economic profile of the study
area is presented as follows;
4.4.1 Geographical Coverage of Project Road
The construction starts from Paderu at existing chainage Km 2+416 to 27+450 on Other District
Road (ODR), 27+450 to 40+000 on State Highway (SH-8) and 118+400 to 104+400 on State
Highway (SH-39) ends at Araku on NH 516E . The geographical coverage of the project extends
over 49.37 km upgradation to two lanes/ two lanes with paved shoulders configuration from
Paderu to Araku (upto bhalluguda) section comprises as many as forty one (41) villages in four (4)

4.4.2 Demographic Profile
The sociological aspects of this study include human settlements, demography, and social strata
such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and literacy levels besides infrastructure facilities
available in the study area. The economic aspects include occupational structure and income levels
of workers. The profile comprises of the study area.
 The total population of 41 villages covering four Mandal’s are 40736 in which the male
population is 19399 (47.62%) and the female population is 21337 (52.38%). This shows
that the female population slightly higher in ratio, Yandapallivalasa female population is
double the size of male population as per census 2011.
34 | P a g e
 The male and female ratio of the study area is 1099 females per every 1000 males.
 Among the total population 84.65% (34482) consists of Scheduled Tribes, 1.19% (484)
are of the Scheduled caste population and 14.16% (5770) people belong to other castes
and mainly backward communities.
 Among the total population, 50.02% (20377) of the people are literate and 39.76%
(16198) of the people are illiterate. This shows that nearly half of the population is literate
 Among the literates 57.18% (11094) are males and 43.50% (9283) are females. This
shows that the male literates are more than the female literates.
 Totally the illiterate constitute 39.76% (16198) of which the female cover 32% (6209) and
the male 46.8% (9989) of the population. This shows that the female illiterates are more
than the male illiterates.
 Average Household Size is 4.6 in the project road.
 The study area had an average family size of 4.6 persons per house hold on 2011. This is
moderate family size and is in comparison with the other part of the district.
The village wise population breakup and literacy levels of study area of the project, as per 2011
census is enclosed as Annexure-4.1
4.4.3 Occupational Distribution
The tribal population in the region earn major incomes through agriculture which is facing number
of challenges. About 70 to 80 per cent of the tribal farm holdings in these villages fall under the
category of the small and marginal land holdings. The average farm size is about two-thirds of an
acre. The main crop is paddy followed by cereals and millets (Ragi, Sama, Maize, Rajamah). The
total working population of the district in comparison with the Andhra Pradesh state is 18.89%, out
of which 5.76% is Agriculture and 13.10 non agriculture workers. A large number of the tribal
households restore to subsidiary occupation for meeting their minimum requirements. Unskilled
manual labour is taken up by large number of tribal’s. They even migrate to the surrounding urban
area for work.
Main source of cash income of the majority of the tribals is from the collection and sale of firewood
and other minor forest produce. These are collected from the forest surroundings of the villages.
The tribals collect Hill Brooms, Honey, Addaleaf, Tamarind, Myrobalan, Mahuva seed and other
minor products of forest produce. The district working population is 44.04% which is close to the
project area working population of 43.46%. Whereas the women working population is 20.00%.
In the project road, among the total population 56.54% (23031) are non-workers and remaining
constitute the working population i.e 43.46% (17705). And out of the working population 28.38%
(11559) are main workers and 15.09% (6146) are marginal workers.

5 LAND ACQUISITION AND IMPACTS

5.1 Introduction
The improvement/up-gradation of 49.37 Km of this project road will have direct as well as indirect
impacts. The direct losses likely to be experienced by the people are loss of residential structure,
loss of commercial structure, loss of agricultural land, loss of fruit bearing and non-fruit
bearing trees, loss of common property etc. Similarly, widening of the existing roads and
acquisition of land have many likely indirect affects. In India ribbon development / congestion
along the state highways and other roads are an uncontrolled phenomenon and this project road
is not an exception. There are areas where education, health and religious institutions are
constructed within the RoW of the project road. Nevertheless, the social benefits arising due to
the project shall trigger improved accessibility to various services such as easy access to
markets, health facilities, schools, workplace etc. It will in turn increase the income of the local
people and elevate their standard of living. In this project road, the impact is only on land owners
and the project road has no non-titleholders that includes squatters and encroachers. The land
intake is due to proposed bypasses, realignments and curve improvements.
A detailed census survey for all likely affected structures was conducted followed by socio
economic survey for 35% of affected families. The census and socio economic survey was
conducted only for structure owners and the survey for land owners was not able to be conducted
as the land surveys/Joint Measurement Surveys by Revenue department has not yet been
conducted. .
5.2 Land Acquisition Estimates For The Project Stretch
Based on field verification and assessment of revenue maps, it has been found that the land width
in project section is varying between 20m to 32m. A total of 46.65 ha is to be acquired for
the project. Of the total 46.65 ha, private land constitutes 31.19 ha, government land
constitutes 14.46 ha and forest land 1 ha. A district-wise Land Acquisition detail of 35 affected
villages in the project stretch is given in Table 5-1 below.

The information on vulnerable groups was also collected during / Socio-economic survey. A total
of 67 households are falling under vulnerable category and these households need special
consideration so that they can be benefitted from the project and do not further get socially and
economically marginalised. Majority of the households belongs to Schedule Tribe and other
vulnerable categories include Women Headed Households (WHH), Schedule Caste and Below
Poverty Level (BPL) categories. The affected households falling within any of these groups has
been considered as vulnerable. The project road falls under schedule area hence maximum of
60 vulnerable households belong to Schedule Tribe’s included of 19 WHH, 6 BPL households and 1
household belong to the category of schedule caste. Table 5-11 gives the details of the
vulnerability.

6 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

6.1 Introduction
The construction and operation of the proposed national highways involves various activities. The
impacts of these activities on environmental and social attributes have been identified and
discussed with respective mitigation measures under separate headings in EIA report and
continued in this chapter. The impacts have been assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively for
various environmental and social components. The impacts are identified by the development and
operational activities resulting from the proposed project.
6.2 Impacts
After a series of consultations held with community in project influence zone, people are found to
be in favour of construction of roads under the project, primarily since the approach roads will
improve the urban and rural connectivity to key economic centers of the state, development of
tourism and thus will improve their day to day affairs. The overall social, economic and political
status of the tribal community in tribal areas shows that they are trying to integrate with the
mainstream society and their lifestyle.
6.2.1 Positive Impacts
 Improved pavements will invite transport operation connecting remote areas improving
access to markets, jobs, education and health services
 Crop pattern may change so that the perishable cash crops can have an easy access to the
markets and get better prices for their agriculture products.
 Tourism will improve contributing to the local economic activities
 Better accessibility to infrastructure and services in the project influence area
 Reduce travel time, fuel consumption and pollutants emitted from the operated vehicles.
 Access to transportation on safe roads has direct impacts on economic standing and
quality of life in affected community.
 Some of the barriers in the agency areas are access to good health care, medical
assistance and education facilities. Provided better roads, maternal mortality in affected
communities and cost of transportation is reduced, and improves health and educational
services.
 Enhancement in the well-being, women become more independent and lessen the risks
associated with their vulnerabilities, promoting gender and social equality.
 Reduction in road accidents resulting in reducing deaths and injuries
 Increased industrial, business and commercial activities
 Direct or indirect increase in job/ employment opportunities
44 | P a g e
6.2.2 Negative Impacts
 Improvement of existing roads requires acquisition of agriculture lands and landed assets.
 Temporary or permanent loss of livelihood due to acquisition of lands and involuntary

relocation of the project affected families.
 Conflicts due to influx of construction workers
 Likely adverse impacts due to the noise and vibrations in the surrounding areas during
construction phase
 Some of the common property likes religious structures, schools, hospitals, bus shelters,
government and communities building are impacted during the construction of the project
 A variety of utilities serving in the regional needs like electricity poles, transformers,
telephones towers/poles, water pipelines, and drainage and sewage systems which are
within the impact zone shall be impacted.
6.2.3 Mitigation Measures
Adoption of Corridor of Impact approach to ensure that the width required for the actual
construction of the road, including carriageway, shoulder and embankments is retained and the
social inputs to project design shall ensure that the corridor of impact is reduced, within acceptable
design principles and standards, towards avoidance of land acquisition and minimize adverse social
impacts. Some of the significant steps towards this will be:
 The acquisition of land and private properties shall be carried out in accordance with the
RAP and entitlement framework of the Project. Concerned owners will be informed in
advance to shift the utilities in coordination with the project proponents before
construction starts to avoid disruption of regional services.
 Alignment shift to minimise the impact on the religious and community structures, if
unavoidable relocation will be undertaken after adequate consultations.
 Participatory approach taken up for discussions with the various stakeholders for building
community consensus to to resolve project related impacts on the community at large.
6.3 Impacts on Vulnerable Communities
The study found that a large section of the affected community belongs to tribal groups who are
socially and economically weaker and prone to vulnerable conditions other than SC’s and backward
castes. These communities earn on daily basis for their livelihood. Many of them do not have
access to social infrastructure facilities, hence literacy and income levels are low etc. The most
vulnerable of them are the women, though they work more than men.
In order to strengthen the government schemes to tackle social exclusion and poverty. Special
emphases shall be given to health and educational facilities in tribal region. Adivasi educational
institution should be promoting safe and inclusive school environment. Traditional knowledge of
45 | P a g e
women including healing practices shall be promoted for indigenous treatment systems. Training
and skill development programs to be given to empower their abilities for promoting gender
equality and social, economic and political inclusion.
6.4 Impacts during the construction Stage
During construction phase, various types of equipment will be brought to the site. These include D
G Sets, batching plant, drillers, earthmovers, rock bolters, etc. The storing and working space
requirement of this construction equipment’s would be significant. In addition, land will also be
temporarily acquired for the duration of project construction for storage of the quarried material
before crushing, crushed material, cement rubble, etc.
The proposed road project would envisage construction of temporary camps to accommodate
construction workers from outside. This immigration of the labours for the project is known to
cause the problem for arranging the space for their stay and livelihood. Labour camps require
space nearby construction site to house the laborers. The immigration of large number of labour
force will create problems of storing, treating and disposing the sewage waste and solid waste
management. This may result in discharge of sewage into the nearby water body spreading water
borne diseases such as malaria and pathogenic diseases.
The Contractor shall preferably use unskilled labour drawn from local communities to give
maximum benefits to the local community.
The Contractor as per prevalent rules shall carry out negotiations with the Panchayat member and
the land owners in fair manner for obtaining their consent for temporary use of lands for
construction camp/construction/borrow areas etc. Temporary land arrangements shall not be from
the forest reserves except under special permission circumstances where it is unavoidable due to
the vast forest reserves in Project Influence Area. He should also ensures Sewage system for
the camp are designed, built and operated in such a manner that no health hazards occurs and no
pollution to the air, ground water or adjacent water courses take place. Adequate water supply,
safe and convenient passage for vehicles, pedestrians and livestock to and from roadsides and
property access connecting the project road, providing temporary connecting road is to be
provided for all.
6.5 Impacts during the Operation Stage
Most of the project road stretch passes through agricultural areas, frequented by transportation of
agricultural equipment’s, harvested crops and domestic animals for grazing purposes. The common
traffic – animal conflict is accidents by rash driving or breakdown of vehicles leading to death of
cattle and domestic animals. Most significant issues at this stage are pedestrian safety, traffic
safety, and emergency preparedness that may impact the terrestrial ecology.
46 | P a g e
Commuters and road using community will be educated on the road safety issues to reduce the
accidents involving traffic animal. PWD shall ensure that all drains (side drains, median drain and
all cross drainages) are periodically cleared especially before monsoon season to facilitate the
quick passage of rainwater and avoid flooding.
Public awareness are necessary on noise levels and health affects through newspapers, regular
consultations and pamphlet during the operation stage.

7 POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

7.1 Introduction
The legal framework and principles adopted for addressing resettlement issues in the project have
been guided by the existing legislation and policies of the Government of India (GOI), the State
Government of Andhra Pradesh. Prior to the preparation of the RAP, a detailed analysis of the
existing national and state policies was undertaken and the section below provides details of the
various national and state level legislations studied and their applicability for the project. This RAP
is prepared based on the review and analysis of all applicable legal and policy frameworks of the
country.
7.2 Some Important legal provisions to safeguard tribal interests
7.2.1 The Agency Tracts Interest and Land Transfer Act, 1917: Enacted in 1917
This act checked transfers of land in the Agency tracts of Ganjam (presently in Orissa),
Visakhapatnam (covering the present Srikakulam, Vizianagarm and Visakhapatnam districts) and
Godavari (covering the present East and West Godavari districts) districts. It regulated debt and
interest on the borrowings by the hill tribes and transfer of their immovable property. It was
enacted primarily to safeguard the interest of hill tribes of the area over which it extended and to
protect them from exploitation by non-tribals and moneylenders. It permitted transfer of land only
among tribal and laid down that the interest accrued over the debts borrowed by the tribal shall
not exceed the principal amount. The land acquisition in the proposed project will be abided by the
PESA Act.
7.2.2 The Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959
This promulgation extended the provisions of the Agency Tracts Interest and Land Transfer Act,
1917 of the former Madras presidency to the scheduled areas of the Andhra region (Srikakulam,
Vizianagarm, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari and West Godavari districts) of the reorganized state
of Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Pradesh was reorganized with effect from 1st November 1956 duly
including the telugu speaking areas of the then Madras Presidency and the former Hyderabad
State). Through a separate Regulation it was further extended to the tribal tracts of Telangana
region (Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Mahabubnagar districts) with effect from 1st
December 1963.
7.2.3 The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of
Forest Rights) Act, 2006
This is an act to recognize and vest the forest rights and occupation in forest land in forest
dwelling scheduled tribes and other traditional forest dwellers who have been residing in such
forests for generations but whose rights could not be recorded; to provide for a framework for
recording the forest rights so vested and the nature of evidence required for such recognition and
vesting in respect of forest land.
49 | P a g e
7.2.4 The Provision of Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act
The 73rd and 74th Constitutional (Amendments of 1992), accommodate special powers to PRIs,
were later extended, with separate provisions to the Scheduled Areas as well through the
Panchayat (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act of 1996. With the strength and support of PESA
Act, 1996 the PRI bodies at the district and village level have been endowed with special functional
powers and responsibilities to ensure effective participation of the tribal people in their own
development. This would also help preserve/ conserve their traditional rights over natural
resources. A brief summary of powers given to PRIs under PESA Act is given below:
Powers Given to Gram Sabha under PESA Act
 Listing of development projects for execution through Gram Panchayats.
 Identification and recommendation of beneficiaries under poverty alleviation programs.
 Any proposal/plan presented by the Gram Panchayat needs prior consultation and approval
with the Gram Sabha
 Prior approval for collection of taxes
 Wherever necessary asking for information from gram Panchayat
 Intervene in conflict resolution through traditional and customary traditional methods if

required
 Gram Sabha has power to safeguard the cultural identity, community resources and
dispute resolution per traditional customs and regulations
 Control and supervision of functions and powers of Gram Panchayat
7.3 Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation

and Resettlement Act (RFCT in LARR), 2013
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCT in LARR Act - 2013) has been effective from January 1, 2014 after
receiving the assent of the President of Republic of India. This Act extends to the whole of India
except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The Act replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
The aims and objectives of the Act include: (i) to ensure, in consultation with institutions of local
self-government and Gram Sabhas established under the constitution of India, a humane,
participative, informed and transparent process for land acquisition for industrialization,
development of essential infrastructural facilities and urbanization with the least disturbance to the
owners of the land and other affected families; (ii) provide just and fair compensation to the
affected families whose land has been acquired or proposed to be acquired or are affected by such
acquisition; (iii) make adequate provisions for such affected persons for their rehabilitation and
resettlement; (iv) ensure that the cumulative outcome of compulsory acquisition should be that
50 | P a g e
affected persons become partners in development leading to an improvement in their post-

acquisition social and economic status and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Section 27 of the Act defines the method by which market value of the land shall be computed
under the proposed law. Schedule I outlines the proposed minimum compensation based on a
multiple of market value. Schedule II through VI outline the resettlement and rehabilitation
entitlements to land owners and livelihood losers, which shall be in addition to the minimum
compensation per Schedule I.
The Chapter II and III of the RFCT in LARR Act - 2013 regarding determination of social impact
assessment and public purpose and special provision to safeguard food security shall not apply to
the project such as (a) vital to national security or defense of India and every part thereof,
including preparation for defense or defense production; (b) rural infrastructure including
electrification; (c) affordable housing and housing for the poor people; (d) industrial corridors ;
and (e) infrastructure and social infrastructure projects including projects under public private
partnership where the ownership of land continues to vest with the Government.
(i) The five year period set by the principal Act in Section 24 under sub-section (2), for lapse
of 1894 Act shall exclude the cases where acquisition process is held up on account of any
stay or injunction issued by any court or the period specified in the award of a Tribunal for
taking possession.
(ii) The five year period set by the principal Act for any land acquired and unused is now will
be a period specified for the setting up of any project or five years, whichever is later.
7.3.1 R&R Principles for the Project
Based on the above analysis of government provisions, the following resettlement principles are
adopted for this Project:
(i) Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement
impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or
census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to
resettlement impacts and risks. Measures to avoid and minimize involuntary resettlement
impacts include the following: (i) explore alternative alignments or locations which are less
impacting, (ii) ensure the appropriate technology is used to reduce land requirements, (iii)
modify the designs, cross sections, and geometrics of components to minimize the ROW
and ensure involuntary resettlement is avoided or minimized.
(ii) Carry out meaningful consultations with stakeholders, Project Affected Persons, host
communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of
their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning,
implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular
attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the
landless, the elderly, women and children, and indigenous peoples, and those without legal
title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress
51 | P a g e
mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the concerns of displaced persons.

Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population.
Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive,
compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation
phase.
(iii) Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through; (i) land-
based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or
cash compensation at replacement cost for land when the loss of land does not undermine
livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher
value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be
restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where
possible.
(iv) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including
the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at
resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities,
integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and
extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and
development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or
employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as
required.
(v) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups,
including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with
legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with
appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.
(vi) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition
is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated
settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.
(vii) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land
are eligible for all compensation, relocation and rehabilitation measures, except land.
(viii)Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on the entitlements of displaced persons, the

income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and
reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. This resettlement
plan will be approved by World Bank prior to contract award.
(ix) Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a
timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s)
understandable to displaced persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final
resettlement plan and its updates to displaced persons and other stakeholders.
52 | P a g e
(x) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or

program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and
benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider
implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone
operation.
(xi) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or
economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision
throughout project implementation.
(xii) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standard of living of
displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved
by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring.
Disclose monitoring reports.
7.3.2 Procedure for Land Acquisition under the Project
The land acquisition in this project context will be as per the National Highway Act, 1956 and later
amendments or as per MoRT&H circular date 28th December, 2017.
7.3.3 The process for land acquisition under NH Act, 1956 is as follows
i. Submission of requisition for particular land is needed for a “public purpose” along with

xv. Infrastructural component of R&R package to be provided.
53 | P a g e
7.3.4 The process of Land Acquisition as per MoRT&H circular date 28th December,
2017
The project States HP, AP, UP & Rajasthan can follow the direct land purchase policies and
procedures of the respective States. As per this circular the land can be purchased directly
following the acts, policies and procedures prevailing in the respective project States
7.3.5 World Bank’s Safeguard Policies
a) Indigenous People (OP 4.10)
This policy contributes to the Bank's mission of poverty reduction and sustainable development by
ensuring that the development process fully respects the dignity, human rights, economies, and
cultures of Indigenous Peoples. For all projects that affect Indigenous Peoples the borrower is
required to engage in a process of free, prior, and informed consultation, resulting in broad
community support to the project by the affected Indigenous Peoples. This policy include
measures to (a) avoid potentially adverse effects on the Indigenous Peoples’ communities; or (b)
when avoidance is not feasible, minimize, mitigate, or compensate for such effects, to ensure that
the Indigenous Peoples receive social and economic benefits that are culturally appropriate and
gender and intergenerationally inclusive.
b) Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12)
Involuntary resettlement under development projects, if unmitigated, often gives rise to severe
economic, social, and environmental risks: production systems are dismantled; people face
impoverishment when their productive assets or income sources are lost; people are relocated to
environments where their productive skills may be less applicable and the competition for
resources greater; community institutions and social networks are weakened; kin groups are
dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority, and the potential for mutual help are
diminished or lost. This policy includes safeguards to address and mitigate these impoverishment
risks.

8 ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE AND BENEFITS

8.1 Introduction
The project will have three types of displaced persons i.e., (i) persons with formal legal rights to
land lost in its entirety or in part; (ii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in
part who have no formal legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are
recognized or recognizable under national laws; and (iii) persons who lost the land they occupy in
its entirety or in part who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to
such land. The involuntary resettlement requirements apply to all three types of displaced persons
and the RP describes provision for all type of PAPs.
8.2 Cut-off-Date for Entitlement
In case of land acquisition, the date of publication of preliminary notification for acquisition under
section 3(A) of the NH Act 1956 will be treated as the cut-off date. For loss of structures to the
titleholders and non-titleholders, the cut-off date of Census and Social Survey which is 28th
February 2018. PAP’s who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for
compensation and assistance. Non –titleholders will be given sufficient advance notice, requested
to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. Their
dismantled structures materials will not be confiscated and they will not pay any fine or suffer any
sanction.
8.3 Project Entitlements
In accordance with the R&R measures outlined in the previous chapter, all displaced households
and persons will be entitled to a combination of compensation packages and resettlement
assistance depending on the nature of ownership rights on lost assets and scope of the impacts
including socio-economic vulnerability of the displaced persons and measures to support livelihood

Rehabilitation and Up-gradation of NH-516E from Paderu to Araku (upto Bhalluguda) – Social Impact
Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan Report
9 STAKEHOLDERs CONSULTATIONS AND DISCLOSURE

9.1 Introduction
Stakeholder’s consultations are essential for the planning and designing of highway projects and the
practice of involving the communities in the planning process has been recognized as an effective tool for
mitigating the negative impacts due to the project and ensuring timely completion of the projects. In
context of the highway projects, which are primarily linear in nature, the issue of involving people in the
planning and designing process is significant, as the nature and extent of impact on the social, economic
and cultural fabric of the society spread across a larger and a highly varied group of the society. The
project will therefore ensure that the affected population and other stakeholders are informed, consulted,
and allowed to participate actively in the development process. Stakeholder’s consultation will be done
throughout the project cycle, both i.e. during preparation, implementation, and monitoring of project
results and impacts stages.
RAP document will be prepared and disclosed in English and other local languages, as required, describing
the main project features, project interventions, including the entitlements for the affected families,
implementation schedule etc, to project affected persons and other key stakeholders in appropriate ways
and shall be separately disclosed at the concerned Panchayat Offices/ Urban Local Bodies, District Collector
Offices, Block development Offices, District Public Relations Offices (at the state and district levels), Project
office, and any other relevant offices, etc.
9.2 Methodology for Public Consultation
Consultations and discussions were held along the project with the affected families and other
stakeholders. Different techniques of consultation with stakeholders were used during project preparation,
viz., in-depth interviews, public meetings, group discussions etc. To understand the socio-economic profile
of the society, questionnaires were designed and information was collected from the individuals on one-to-
one basis. The consultations have also been carried out with special emphasis on the tribal community and
various other vulnerable groups. Some of the key informants included are:
• People in the influence zone likely to be affected, local residents, agricultural communities,
shopkeepers, Tribal and vulnerable groups
• Panchayat members, Sarpanch and ward members
• Local voluntary organizations and NGOs
• Government agencies and departments like ITDA, CALA, Agricultural department, PIU, PMU
• Other project stakeholders with special focus on women and PAPs belonging to the vulnerable
group.
Project Affected people were consulted through census & socio-economic survey carried out in the
month of Feb-March 2018, followed by various focused group discussions (FGD), individual meetings/
consultations to get wider public input from both the primary and secondary stakeholders. The
76 | P a g e
consultation methods followed to elicit required information (their views & opinions) are given
below in Table 9-1.

9.3 Stakeholders Consultations
The Stakeholder consultation will assist Project Management Unit with managing and facilitating future
engagement through the various stages of the Project. This is an initial guide to engagement and will need
to be revised following Project approval to inform on-going stakeholder engagement through the various
stages of Project development, construction, operation and closure/rehabilitation.
It shall provide a platform to participants to express their views, concerns and apprehensions that might
affect them positively or negatively. Engagement of stakeholders in the project started since the inception
period from the time of social surveys during the month of Feb - March 2018. All the survey’s and
consultation meetings organized with free and prior information to the likely PAP’s and participants. The
intimation letters are provided in Annexure 9.1. The notices regarding the consultation were placed at the
conspicuous places and distributed to the Gram Panchayat heads and other local representatives and
leader. Details of village level consultations organized in the impact area at Gram Panchayat’s of tribal
areas of Paderu, Chintalaveedhi, Hukumpet, Araku Valley are presented in sections below.
9.4 Public Consultation
The Village level consultations were held in Paderu, Humkumpeta, Araku, Chintalavedi Gram Panchayat,
where impacts were significant, and PAP’s from all villages along the subproject road were intimated about
the proposed consultation meetings. All relevant aspects of subproject design, details of land required and
impact to private property were discussed with the affected communities. As a part of the public
empowerment through public consultations the stakeholders have expressed their views on the impact of
the project, and the anticipated adverse impacts.
9.5 Key Findings of Consultations
The consultations have helped in not only achieving the social assessment objectives, but also assisted in
gathering suggestions for mitigation of adverse impacts, improvement in designs and facilitating inputs for
the resettlement plan preparation and implementation.
The broad findings are as follows
77 | P a g e
1) The people wanted to know what the compensation and assistance package was for the project.
The resettlement principles and policies under consideration in the APNH were explained.
2) People are apprehensive about the timely payment of assistance and compensation. In all the
meetings they have asked to pay compensation on time.
3) Some of the likely affected persons have requested the project not to affect their livelihood – as
they will be left with no alternatives. This is especially in the case of those losing their land and
commercial shops. In some cases families will be losing their total agricultural land and will not
have any other source of livelihood.

adopted by the project in villages and built up area. The people are apprehensive that an improved
road will lead to vehicles moving at greater speeds, leading to accidents in the village.
9) They have informed about the traffic congestions on the existing road and requested to solve.
10) People wanted to know how the project will replace affected community structures. In most cases
the people were willing to identify available government land for the same. People were largely
concerned about replacement of drinking water source. In some places temples are seen as
important part of their social fabric, and people have requested to retain them as far as possible.
11) Major issue facing all women was lack of toilet facilities along the corridor. All the women group
meetings have revealed that the panchyat would maintain the toilets, once built.
12) Discussions were also initiated on possible market sites which could help relocate those losing
shops and commercial establishments.
13) Responses from the public were in general positive.
14) They have responded that widening is not required as the existing road fulfill the present
requirement.
15) Requests have been made to explore the possibilities of convergence of other development
programmes by government agencies.

District Collector/ Dy. Commissioner or his designated representative (not below the rank of SDM),
98 | P a g e
Project Director-cum-Executive Engineer of the concerned PIU, District Agriculture Officer, Range
Officer (Forest Department, if required), an independent certified valuer, Executive Engineer of the
concerned District, elected representative (MLA) of the concerned area and Team Leader of RAP
implementation agency.
The highest value of land obtained by the three methods mentioned in Section 26 and Schedule 1
of RFCTLARR will be presented by the Project Authority and approved by the committee as the
replacement cost. Similarly, latest schedule of rates of the concerned districts shall be used for
obtaining replacement cost of structures. For items not available in the schedule of rates, for those
items market rates shall be collected from three different sources and then replacement cost shall
be fixed by the committee. For replacement costs of crops, trees and other such items similar
methods will be followed.
The committee will be constituted through an executive order and or other suitable instrument
within one month (30 days) from the date of mobilization of RAP implementation agency at site.
11.7 Mechanism for Implementation of RAP, Training and Capacity Building – at Project
and Sub-project Level
Training and development of project staff is an integral part for implementing GNHCP. A training
needs identification shall carried out at Central, Regional and Site level, based on which focused
training modules will be developed in the first six months of project implementation;
 Strengthening in house capacity to implement the provisions of RPF/RAP,

 Creating Awareness, providing the tools for implementation of RAP, and accompanying set
of management procedures to all departments,
 Developing competence within key officials to provide training in their respective level.
Based on skill requirement/improvement at all levels for proper implementation of RPF, a training
programme focusing project implementing partners at Centre, State and field PIUs has been
developed which will be implemented by the Project Authority (MoRTH) in the next two years.
These training programs, which will be zeroed down after a quick training needs assessment, are
to be conducted with the help of local and national training institutions and experts in various
aspects of social management. MoRTH will also identify courses offered by the premier institutions
in India and abroad on social management and inter-phase these with identified programme.
There is a provision for separate budget for this activity. The budget reported under “institutional”
head includes the cost estimates of training programs discussed above.

12 GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) mandates formation of Grievance Redressal Mechanism
in order to resolve disputes in an effective manner and at the door steps of the PAPs.
Compensation and assistance as per eligibility is provided in the entitlement matrix of the
approved RPF. The Grievances will be redressed at the PIU level, if not can be referred to the court
by the aggrieved. The first contact person at PIU to review and redress the grievance is the RRO.
If not resolved, the aggrieved can reach to the Grievance Redress Committee formed at the PIU
level. The decision of the GRC will be binding, unless vacated by court of law.
12.1 Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC)
The GRC at PIU level will be constituted by the Project Authority with the aim to settle as many
disputes as possible on Land Acquisition (LA) and R&R through consultations and negotiation.
There will be one GRC for each PIU. The GRC will comprise six members headed by a retired
Revenue officer /Social Welfare officer not below Group I officer rank). Other members of the GRC
will include the concerned Project Director-cum-Executive, a retired PWD Officer (not below the
rank of Executive Engineer), RRO, representative of PAPs and Sarpanch (Elected Head of Village)
of the concerned village. 45. Grievances of PAPs in writing will be brought to GRC for redressal
by the RAP implementation agency The RAP implementation agency will provide all necessary help
to PAPs in presenting his/her case before the GRC. The GRC will respond to the grievance within
15 days. The GRC will normally meet once in a month but may meet more frequently, if the
situation so demands. A time period of 45 days will be available for redressing the grievance of
PAPs. The decision of the Grievance Committees will not be binding on the DPs and they will have
the option of taking recourse to court of law, if s/he so desires at his or her own expense.Broad
functions of GRC are as under:
 Record the grievances of PAPs, categorize and prioritize them and provide solution to their
grievances related to resettlement and rehabilitation assistance.
 The GRC may undertake site visit, ask for relevant information from Project Authority and
other government and non-government agencies, etc in order to resolve the grievances of
PAPs.
 Fix a time frame within the stipulated time period of 45 days for resolving the grievance.
 Inform PAPs through implementation agency about the status of their case and their
decision to PAPs and Project Authority for compliance.
The GRC will be constituted within 3 months by an executive order from competent authority
(centre/ state) from the date of mobilization of RAP implementation agency. The RRO will
persuade the matter with assistance from implementation agency in identifying the suitable
persons from the nearby area for the constitution of GRC. Secretarial assistance will be provided
by the PIU as and when required. The flow diagram (Figure.12-1) shows the entire process of
grievance redressal.
100 | P a g e
Figure 12-1: Grievance Redressal Mechanism
PAPs will be fully made aware about the GRM for effective, inexpensive and amicable settlement of
claims for compensation and assistance by holding meetings with PAPs, public meetings and
distributing leaflets containing salient features and procedures of GRM. The RAP IA will assist the
PAPs in getting their record of rights updated in case of disputes related to land. The RRO with
support from RAP IA will make all possible efforts for amicable settlement. The RAP IA will
101 | P a g e
document all cases brought to GRC and maintain the records of the proceedings of the grievance
redressal committee meetings.
12.2 Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism (SCHM)
The MoRTH recognizes the importance of this and hence intends to establish a SCHM for the
GNHCP. The communication channels to report project related complaints/concerns will be
disclosed at all levels of institutions—MoRTH, State and Sub-project levels.
Through the Right to Information Act, 2005 an Act of the Parliament of India provides for setting
out the practical regime of right to information for citizens. The Act applies to all States and Union
Territories of India. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a
"public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply
expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerize
their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively publish certain categories of information so
that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally. In other words under
the act, citizens have right to seek information from concerned agencies by following the set
procedures. However, it is quite likely that many people may not use the provisions of this Act,
only in limited cases covering serious concerns. Being an inter-state project involving several
states and large scale of civil works along with R&R and Environment issues, the project is likely to
receive many suggestions, complaints, inquiries, etc through the project implementation period.
Therefore, MoRTH has agreed to establish SCHM as a good practice to address public concerns
pertaining to various issues. SCHM will report all project related LA and R&R of the PAPs for
redressal through the concerned PIU or GRC as appropriate. Several communication channels viz.,
toll free phone number, dedicated email, mechanism for on line submission of
suggestions/complaints/inquiries, provision of suggestion/complaint box (at site and project
office), post and other suitable means shall be set up for suggestion and complaint handling.
102 | P a g e
13 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
13.1 Introduction
Implementation of RAP mainly consists of compensation to be paid for private land, compensation
for structures, assistance for loss of homestead resulting in physical displacement, loss of
livelihood resulting in economic displacement, obtaining options and choices from the Displaced
Families, development of resettlement sites, relocation to resettlement sites and additional
assistance to vulnerable household. Public consultation, monitoring and grievance redressal will be
an ongoing process throughout the RP implementation period but will happen intermittently.
13.2 Schedule for Project Implementation
The proposed RP implementation activities are divided into three broad phases viz. project
preparation phase, RP implementation phase, and monitoring and reporting phase, and the
activities envisaged in each phase is discussed below.
Project Preparation Phase: The activities to be performed in this phase include: (i) establishment
of PIU with a designated officer (SS) in charge of safeguards; (ii) submission of RP to IFC/World
Bank for approval (iii) appointment of NGO in PIU and (iv) establishment of GRC. The information
dissemination and stakeholder consultations will commence in this stage and continue till the end
of the project.
RP & TDP Implementation Phase: In this phase, key activities will be carried out including: (i) joint
verification (ii) valuation of structures (iii) preparation of micro plan (iv) R&R award enquiry (v)
approval of final micro plan (vi) identification and development of resettlement site (vii) payment
of compensation for land and structure (viii) payment of other rehabilitation assistances (ix)
relocation of PDFs to resettlement site and (x) issuing site clearance certificate to enable
commencement of civil works.
Monitoring and Reporting Phase: Internal monitoring will commence as soon as RP implementation
begins and continue till end of RP implementation. External monitoring will also commence from
the beginning of RP implementation.
13.3 RP & TDP Implementation Schedule
An implementation schedule for land acquisition, payment of compensation and resettlement and
rehabilitation activities in the project including various sub tasks and time line matching with civil
work schedule is provided in the work plan. The following are the key implementation activities
that are presented in the work plan.
a. Updating of RP based on design changes, if any
b. Approval of RP and Disclosure
c. Appointment of NGOs, Nodal NGO and Package NGOs and External Monitoring consultants
d. Constitution and notification of GRCs

o. Allotment of house sites or development of Resettlement sites
p. Shifting of DPs of alternative resettlement sites
q. LA Award
r. Certification of payment of R&R assistance for first milestone
s. Certification of payment of LA and R&R assistance for second milestone
t. Impact Evaluation
Coordination during the Implementation Stages: The land acquisition and resettlement
implementation will be co-coordinated with the timing of procurement and commencement of civil
works. The required co-ordination has contractual implications, and will be linked to procurement
and bidding schedules, award of contracts, and release of encumbrance free land to the
contractors. The project will provide adequate notification, counseling and assistance to PDF’s so
that they are able to move or give up their assets without undue hardship before commencement
of civil works and after receiving the compensation and R&R assistances.
The construction of resettlement sites should commence well in advance, as it would take about
12-months to complete the construction and relocation of the physically displaced. The land
acquisition and corresponding payment of compensation and R&R assistance with encumbrance
free certification will be available prior to award of contract. The relocation of common property
resources will be linked to handing over of encumbrance free land to the contractors.

14 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
14.1 Introduction
Monitoring and evaluation are important activities of infrastructure development project

particularly, those involving involuntary resettlement. It helps making suitable changes, if required
during the course of implementation of RAP and also to resolve problems faced by the PAPs.
Monitoring is periodical checking of planned activities and provides midway inputs, facilitates
changes, if necessary and provides feedback to project authority for better management of the
project activities. Evaluation on the other hand assesses the resettlement effectiveness, impact
and sustainability of R&R activities. In other words, evaluation is an activity aimed at assessing
whether the activities have actually achieved their intended goals and purposes. Thus monitoring
and evaluation of resettlement action plan implementation are critical in order to measure the
project performance and fulfillment of project objectives.
The monitoring and evaluation of RAP implementation will ensure monitoring of key indicators on
inputs, outputs, project processes and evaluation of impact indicators. The overall purpose of the
monitoring is to keep track of the implementation processes and progress, achievement of
performance targets fixed in the annual work plans, learning lessons and taking corrective actions
to deal with emerging constraints and issues. Monitoring and evaluation will constitute the
following:
 Implementation progress (physical and financial aspects), monitoring of inputs, and

outputs;
 Process documentation (case studies and lessons learnt);
 Impact evaluation based on sample survey and consultations; and
 Thematic studies.
14.2 Institutional Arrangement for M & E
The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) stipulates hiring services of an external agency (third
party) for monitoring and evaluation of RAP implementation. This means the project authority
through an external agency will carry out monitoring and evaluation from the subsequent month of
the mobilization of RAP IA at project site. Internal monitoring will be carried out by the Social
Officer of Project Coordination Unit (PCU) with assistance from R&R officer and RAP IA whereas
external monitoring and evaluation will be carried by the third party engaged for the purpose. This
will help monitor project activities closely. Regular monitoring by undertaking site visits and
consultations with PAPs will help identify potential difficulties and problems faced in the
implementation and accordingly help take timely corrective measures including deviations, if
needed.
Components of monitoring will include performance monitoring i.e., physical progress of the work
and impact monitoring and external evaluation. Indicative indicators to be monitored related to
performance are provided in the following sections. In case during the project implementation, if
some other indicators are found relevant they will also be considered for monitoring.
106 | P a g e
14.3 Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) at Project and Sub-project Level
The Resettlement Action Plan contains indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the
objectives under the resettlement programme. These indicators and benchmarks will be of three
kinds:
(1) Proposed indicators, indicating project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment, etc.
(2) Output indicators, indicating results in terms of numbers of affected People compensated and
resettled, training held, credit disbursed, etc,
(3) Impact indicators, related to the longer-term effect of the project on People’s lives.
The benchmarks and indicators will be limited in number, and combine quantitative and qualitative
types of data. Some of these indicators may include, percentage of PAPs actually paid
compensation before any loss of assets; percentage of PAPs whose incomes after resettlement are
better than, or at least same as before resettlement; percentage of assets valued at replacement
cost compensation; percentage grievances resolved; and/or percentage of cases to court. The first
two types of indicators, related to process and immediate outputs and results, will be monitored to
inform project management about progress and results, and to adjust the work programme where
necessary if delays or problems arise. The results of this monitoring will be summarized in reports
which will be submitted to the World Bank on a regular basis. Provision will be made for
participatory monitoring involving the project affected people and beneficiaries of the resettlement
programme in assessing results and impacts. The Project Authority will engage services of an
external agency (third party), which will undertake independent concurrent evaluations at least
twice a year during the project implementation period. At the end of the project an impact
evaluation will be carried out as part of the project completion report. Such independent
evaluation will focus on assessing whether the overall objectives of the project are being met and
will use the defined impact indicators as a basis for evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation will
assess: (i) The level of success (including the constraints and barriers) in land acquisition
programme, resettlement plan, and income recovery of the PAPs after they have been displaced
from the project affected area, and, (ii) the types of complaints/ grievances and the success of the
handling of grievance and public complaints towards the construction of project’s infra-structures,
means of redress for assets and lands and the amount of compensation, resettlement, and other
forms of complaints.
Summarizing, M&E would be carried out for regular assessment of both process followed and
progress of the RAP implementation. The internal monitoring will be carried out by the State PCU
by the Land Acquisition cum Social Development Officer with assistance from RAP Implementation
Support Agency and a quarterly report will be submitted to MoRTH. Each quarterly report would
also be uploaded on the MoRTH website. The external agency (third party) however, would
conduct assessment six monthly for each sub-project by undertaking field visits and all other
necessary activities including consultations. The six monthly reports would cover detailed
information on process and progress of RAP implementation. The report would highlight issues, if
107 | P a g e
any that need attention of the Project Authority and suggest corrective measures that may be
followed for better implementation of RAP.
14.4 Process & Performance Monitoring
Process monitoring would enable the project authority to assess whether the due process are
being followed or not, whereas performance monitoring would mainly relate to achievement in
measurable terms against the set targets. Monitoring report will also provide necessary guidance
and inputs for any changes, if required during the course of the implementation. A list of indicators
is given in Table 14-1.

14.5 Evaluation
The external agency engaged by the Project Authority shall carry out the evaluation at two stages
viz., mid-term and after the completion of RAP implementation. The evaluation will be carried out
under a set term of reference. The evaluation study would involve both quantitative and qualitative
surveys and compare results before and after the implementation of the project. It will focus on
assessing whether the overall objectives of the project are being met and will use the defined
impact indicators as a basis for evaluation. The evaluation study would undertake the following but
not limited to:
 Review monthly progress report submitted by RAP Implementation Agency (RAP IA);
 Undertake consultations with PAPs in order to assess their point of view with regard to
overall process;
 Intensity and effectiveness of information dissemination with regard to RAP
implementation covering eligibility of different categories of PAPs, frequency of interactions
by RAP IA personnel with PAPs, deployment of RAP IA staff, quality of rapport maintained
by RAP IA personnel with PAPs, capability of RAP IA personnel, behavior of RAP IA staff,
availability of RAP IA staff, level of satisfaction as regards the work of RAP IA, etc;
 Collect information about distribution of awareness generation materials, entitlements,
distribution of identity cum entitlement card, adequacy of dissemination of information,
consultations meetings with regard to policy and eligibility for entitlement, alternatives and
relocation related issues, measurement and valuation of affected properties, understanding
and use of grievance procedure, disbursement of assistance, and other R&R related issues,
compliance of resettlement policy, etc;
 Conduct sample survey (25% of PAPs) for making comparative analysis substantiated by
qualitative surveys and case studies, etc.
It may be noted that one of the key objectives of the project is improvement or at least restoration
of economic status of the PAPs to the pre project level. An illustrative list of indicators is given in
Table 14.2, which would be measured against the baseline data collected for the preparation of
RAP. The M&E agency would finally select the indicators for the evaluation of the project depending
upon the progress of R&R activities.
