both of the Crown dumps top will reduce from 85 m (ASL) to 52 m (ASL).The revised conceptual plan and sections are enclosed as Enclosure I & IIrespectively.

Q.3. The Committee also desired that the two quarries be mined insequence to reduce the extent of OB to be stored externally andincrease concurrent backfilling

Ans. An exercise was taken up to find out whether the outside dump (surfacedump) OB quantity requirement can be reduced by dividing the quarriablearea into two quarries and mining them in sequence rather thansimultaneously as adopted in the approved Mining plan. It was found thatthe volume required to be dumped does not reduce in the suggestedalternative. However – in the spirit of the query / suggestion – an exercisewas done to accommodate all the material in the backfill after the end of 4th

year in approved Mining plan alternative and it was found that the said OBcan be accommodated in the crown dumps of 85 m height above surfacelevel (ASL) which was previously kept at 60m and 70 m (ASL) in East andWest backfill crown dumps respectively. Now in the post mine closure stage(end of 28th year) the void will be filled with the 22.4 mm3 (L) and 24.23 mm3

(L) of OB from East and West Crown dumps respectively of the backfilledarea so that the depth of the terminal void reduces to 40 m below surfacelevel. As a result the crown dumps top levels of both the dumps will reduceto 52 m from the 85 m RL (ASL).

Thus, the requirement of land for outside dump get reduced to 32.66 Ha toaccommodate first four years OB (26.31 mcum (B) only. RevisedConceptual Plan & Sections are at Enclosure I & II respectively.

Q.4. The Committee sought a copy of the recent Order issued by Govt. ofOdisha

Ans. Copy of the order issued by Govt. of Odisha is enclosed as Enclosure III

Q.5. The Committee desired that the design of the embankment should begot approved by the State Water Resources Department.

Ans. The work order for Design of Embankment has been awarded to M/s GMSPower packs Pvt Limited at a cost of Rs.6.5 Lakhs. The embankmentdesign will be got approved by Water Resources Department Govt ofOdisha and approval so accorded will be submitted in due course to MOEF.Work order letter enclosed as Enclosure IV.

Socio-Economic Survey & Rehabilitation Action Plan

Project Title: “Socio-Economic Survey, Socio-Cultural Property Survey, Resource

Mapping, General Infrastructure Survey of the Project Displaced/Affected Families at

Radhikapur (W) Coal Block in Chhendipada Tehsil of Angul District, Odisha”.

1.1 Introduction

The State of Orissa is endowed with rich mineral resource in terms of deposit and production.

The mineral deposit of the state is not only vast but also equally diverse. Orissa's rich mineral

reserves constitute 28% Iron ore, 24% coal, 59% Bauxite and 98% Chromite of India's total

deposits. Thus, mining is an integral part of the economic activities of Orissa.

It is an established fact that the acquisition of private land for a development project cause social ,

economic, cultural and environmental problems which affect the productive assets and sources of

income, the habitat, families and kinship, community structure, social relations, etc. As a result, it may

lead towards impoverishment risks of families such as, landlessness, joblessness, homelessness,

marginalization, food insecurity, loss of common lands and resources, increased health risks and social

disarticulation (Impoverishment Risks and Reconstruction (IRR) Model by Prof. Michael Cernea, 1996). In

order to mitigate the risks, measures for rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced and affected

families is warranted to maintain the status quo and improve the socio-economic conditions.

As a response to the issue of displacement, the Orissa Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) Policy,

2006 came into operative as a comprehensive policy to provide “people, who are displaced or otherwise

affected by the projects, mean to improve or at least restore their former living standards. Displacement

and project-related hazards are now minimized, both as an ethical responsibility and a cost-effective

strategy for all development programmes. Models for minimising risks, both people-centric and

community-centric, are built-in necessities for policy formulations for such projects. Developing R&R

packages and formulating new methodological tools to restore people’s pre-displaced livelihood have

been much more systematised in recent times. Orissa is one of the first states to have formulated a

progressive R&R policy in 2006 to address the hazards of displacement. The R&R Policy, 2006 and SES

guidelines of Revenue and Disaster Management Department of Govt. of Orissa are the major

instruments to conduct the proposed socio-economic study.

1.2 Rationale of the Study

It has been seen that displacement and resettlement due to infrastructural projects

increase the risks of impoverishing local populations, threatening their livelihoods and

truncating their chances for sustainable development or even survival (Cernea 1999, 2000,

2001; Pandey 1998; Fernandez 1994; Downing 1996 and 2002; Government of India 1993).

Societies that have endured for hundreds, if not thousands, of years can quickly disintegrate

under the pressures of displacement. Avoidance of this outcome demands detailed planning

and allocation of adequate financial and human resources. Integral to any successful

resettlement is the use of skilled development-induced resettlement specialists. Extensive

development knowledge and scientific research show that rehabilitation and restoration

(R&R) of livelihoods is more likely when all potential impoverishment risks are identified early

and arrangements are made to mitigate or avoid them. Informed, timely, widespread and

active participation of the project-affected people is an essential prerequisite of an effective

R&R policy. Involuntary resettlement is a socio-economic, not an engineering issue. The

chances of risk mitigation and restoration are greater when stand-alone financing is provided

for displacement, since this removes the conflict of interest that makes the authorities view

resettlement and rehabilitation as an unnecessary social service rather than a necessary cost.

To ensure an improved living condition for the impacted people, the authorities should take

appropriate steps in consultation with the impacted community, identify the possible

impoverishment risks from a very early stage of the project and take risk mitigation

measures for sustainable R&R.

Radhikapur (W) Coal Project and its initiatives

Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining Private Limited , joint venture enterprise of Rungta Mines Ltd., OCL India

Ltd. and ocean Ispat (Pvt.) Ltd., intends to establish a coal project at Chhendipada of Angul District,

Orissa which requires 1824.894 acres of Private land and 764.712 acres of Govt. Land for acquisition

totaling to 2589.606 acres of land.

Radhikapur (West)Coal Mining Pvt. Ltd. (RWCMPL) initiated the process for carrying out the Socio-

Economic Survey and preparation of Rehabilitation Action plan by identifying DAWN, an independent

agency who has experience in similar studies and empanelled by the Government Orissa

DAWN accepted the letter of award of (RWCMPL) to conduct the Socio-Economic Survey in accordance

with Orissa R&R Policy, 2006 and SES guidelines, Govt. of Orissa, 2008.

Location of the Project:

The project is located in Chhendipada Tehsil, Angul district, at a distance of 32 km from Angul and 10

km North of NH 42.

Methodology of the Study

2. Survey Methodology

The broad objective of the present socio-economic survey is to generate the necessary data to form a

baseline and information, so as to prepare an appropriate Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of affected

people. The study involved collection of the socio-economic conditions of the PAFs and their attitude

towards the proposed project. On the basis of such information, a rehabilitation action plan is prepared

for the people whose livelihood systems have been affected. Therefore, a socio-economic survey and

the preparation of an effective Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) is the two direct outcomes of this

report. The socio-economic study will act as a benchmark to monitor the progress of the standard of

living of the affected persons after the implementation of the rehabilitation measures.

2.1 Study Approach

The approach we have undertaken for the Socio Economic Survey is to ensure active participation of the

affected families rather than externally imposed requirement. To perform this task, we have made an

effective communication with the affected families and their leaders regarding the R&R benefits

enshrined in Orissa R&R Policy, 2006. We also spelt out that the study provides an opportunity for the

affected families to ventilate their grievances and choices for a viable Rehabilitation and Resettlement

plan. When they were convinced about the about the objective of the study, it became easier to collect

data and cross verify it.

2.3 Coverage and Scope of the Study:

The SES is limited to the study of affected families of 8 villages of Chhendipada Tahasil of Anugul District.

The work was undertaken as per Orissa R &R Policy, 2006 and guidelines issued by Revenue and Disaster

Management Department, Govt. of Orissa vide Notification. No.18680 dt. 24.04.08.

2.4 Survey Planning:

Before undertaking the survey, the survey team of DAWN and concerned Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining

Pvt. Ltd. personnel jointly planned the time schedule for undertaking the survey in the project area in

Chhendipada Tehsil of Angul district. It was decided to have informed communication between the field

personnel of DAWN and Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining Pvt. Ltd. Personnel based at Angul.

2.5 Survey Design, Tools and Technique

The survey team of DAWN gets acquainted with the Survey methodology, tools and techniques

of data collection.

• Family interview through Household Interview Schedule following the questionnaire of

SES guidelines, 2008, Govt. of Orissa

• Village Infrastructure, Socio-Cultural and Village Resource through village meeting,

Transect Walk, and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)

2.6 Skill and Qualification of the Study Team:

In order to perform the following tasks, Mr.R. K. Parida, Sociologist acted as Team Leader and

provided overall supervision of the Socio-Economic Survey and Mr.Subrat Ku. Indrasingh has co-

ordinated the whole survey. Mr. R.K. Parida had conducted several R&R studies in the State of

Orissa and outside.

1.6.1 Selection of Research Investigators: The Research Investigators are being recruited with

social science background who are proficient in the local language. The team members are

well versed with the local traditions, customs, culture and economic conditions of the PAPs

as some members belong to the local area of undivided Dhenkanal District, presently Angul

and Dhenkanal district and others are selected from the neighbouring district

1.6.2 Training to Research Investigators and Supervisors: The Research Investigators and

Supervisors are trained in the National R&R Policy, LA Act, 1984, Orissa R & R Policy, 2006,

data collection procedure, contents of the questionnaires, Intensive Training were provided

regarding the collection of data, scruninizing, coding, data processing, interpreting and

report writing..

1.6.3 Technical Knowledge: The team had computer professionals and used computerized

format of Ms Excel for data entry and process it for the report. The team possesses the

knowledge how to transfer the coded data from Ms Excel to SPSS for statistical testing.

1.6.4 Procedure of the Socio-Economic Study:

The National R&R Policy, 2007, R&R policy, 2006 of Govt. of Orissa was studied and the

legal requirements under Land Acquisition Act 1894 amended in 1984 for the acquisition of

Private land, Govt. land, Forest land and Gochhar land etc. were analysed. The Land

Encroachment Act (1972) was also studied to understand the terms and conditions to

provide Record of Rights to the landless families.

2.7 Data Collection:

The study primarily involved the collection of both primary and secondary data and other information,

which are both qualitative and quantitative in nature.

The relevant secondary data was also collected and reported include:

• Land Schedule ( data on the area of land acquired) from the office of JR Power Gen Limited

• Records of Rights & Bhulekh

• Voters list

• Census data

• BPL list of the Affected Villages

2.7.1 Field Investigation for Primary data Collection:

To start with, a pilot visit with a tentative broad frame of reference was made to the affected

villages, sitting at common places, grocery shops and tea stalls with an objective of primarily getting

a FEEL of the problem on hand. This involved a few short duration meetings with the leaders and

people of different age group that made opinions there (influencing people)

The study was extensively depended on primary data that are affected by the project. The land

schedule and ROR was the base to find out the affected families. It was found that the land records

were not updated and jointly owned by family members. The primary task before collecting data at

family level, the family genealogy of each Khatiyan and ROR was delineated with each household so

that it became clear to identify the titleholders.

2.7.2 A typical Example of Family Geneology of Gobinda Ch Roul , Village Barapada: Khata No.61 is

presented below.

Thereafter, the households survey was undertaken to collect information at family level

following the SES guidelines of Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Govt. of Orissa,

published on Dated the 24th April, 2008.

2.7.3 Tools of Data Collection:

Quantitative and Qualitative tools were carried out while conducting the socio-economic

survey. For quantitative data, the method of Interview Schedule (Interview scheduled attached

in SES guidelines of Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Govt. of Orissa) having

opened and closed ended questions were followed.

2.7.4 Household Interview Schedule: The data for the socio-economic survey were collected at

the family level on the following aspects.

a) General information about the Affected Household

b) Identification of the Household ,

c) Household composition

d) House particulars

e) Land particulars

f) The cost of cultivation

g) Wage particulars of wage labourers

h) Particulars about business/enterprise

2.7.5 Contacts with key informants in the community and PRI representatives

The survey team apart from the household survey also interacted with the key informants of the

community and PRI representatives to collect data about the community.

In addition, discussion with the community leaders, Anganwadi worker, government officials

concern with R & R, was also part of the study. The important aspect of the study was

participatory appraisal with the involvement of the community to enable them to understand

the process of R & R. Some form of photography were taken to record the existing area for

identification.

2.7.6 The following tools of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methodology were applied for

obtaining qualitative data for the study.

2.7.6.1 Walk over Survey/Transact walk

The transact walk was conducted with the help of some affected persons to get insight on the

field situation related to topography, agricultural crops, and irrigation facilities of the acquired

land.

2.7.6.2 Resource Mapping

A resource mapping of every village was done in order to understand the natural and physical

resources existing in the area. The natural resources such as land, water, forest and physical

resources such as road, electricity, and transport facilities are identified in the walk over

surveys. It helped to identify the infrastructure need of the village for a village resource planning

and development.

2.7.6.3 Focused group discussions

The focused group discussions were conducted in the affected villages. The discussions were

held with groups of about 15-20 respondents by using an unstructured direct approach to

ensure flexibility, open handedness and freedom in expressing ideas and feelings. The objective

was to stimulate and generate new ideas relating to land acquisition, the rehabilitation package

and other development aspects.

2.8 Data Processing Data Scrutiny, Validation, Coding and Entry:

After the completion of data collection, the survey team of DAWN scrutinized and validated each and

every filled-up schedule. All the qualitative and open ended questions in the schedules were coded prior

to the data entry.

2.9 Creation of Computerized Data base

The data related to survey and profiling were computerized for retrieval and management

information to take actions according to the need of the people. It also served as a bench mark for

monitoring the impact of different activities on people’s standard of living and quality of life.

2.10 IT Enabling of Data

The analysis of field data collected through different tools was analyzed using computer software. The

steps used particularly for undertaking the quantitative analysis are presented in the box.

Particularly package like MS Excel was used for data computerization and cleaning; and the SPSS

package was

applied for analysis

and generation of

data tables. Data

outputs for each

variable was

presented in the

report in charts

and tabular forms with frequencies, percentages and averages. Besides, multi-vitiate tables was

generated and presented in the report based on the study requirements. Unlike quantitative analysis,

the qualitative analysis of information was carried out and presented in the form of qualitative data

tables / matrixes.

2.11 Community Development works:

2.11.1 General, Socio-Cultural Infrastructure Survey:

The general, Socio-cultural infrastructure survey of the affected villages was conducted to make

an inventory of public utilities, village common property and natural resources.

2.12 The Initial Hurdle

The survey at Kuskila village was commenced as per the Action Plan but the resistance of the

people delayed the process of data collection. They have the understanding that the socio

economic Survey may pave the way to force them to lose their lands and their native place itself.

It took time to motivate them regarding the objective of the Socio-Economic survey which

provides an opportunity to participate and ventilate their grievances. The communication was

made to different party leaders separately which became effective and the data collection

continued.

CHAPTER III

SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE

In order to assess the extent of social impacts, it is necessary to assess the socio-economic

profile of the project area and socio-economic conditions of the affected people. The Socio-

economic is essentially involves the social and cultural impacts of development, and economic

of the term is generally seen as including not only economics, but also demography and

planning, again with input from other fields, as needed.

The demographic profile gives an idea about the social fabric of the affected families on the

basis of their ethnic group, family type, caste, age group, sex and education and other variables,

whereas the economic profile helps in ascertaining their living standard through various

indicators like occupation, income, expenditure pattern, land holdings etc. The survey provides

an understanding of the nature and magnitude of the problems of the Project Affected Families

(PAFs) after the acquisition of land.

3.1 BRIEF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF THE PROJECT AREA

3.1.1 Demography of the Project area

A total of 08 villages are affected due to proposed Radhikapur (W) Coal mine project. Total human

population of affected villages is 15389 , comes from 3162 households. Of the total population, males

constitute to about 50.7% and females to 49.3% of the total population. Age group 0-6 year accounts for

14.5% of the total population. Scheduled Caste (SC) population is 19.9 % of the total population, while

Scheduled Tribe population is 7.8 % of the total population. It is worthy to mention that in the Village

Putagadia, ST population constitute 65.5% of the total population of the village. Average literacy rate in

the affected villages is 60.3 % with high percentage in male population. Around 46.5 % of the total

population is engaged in the various types of works like cultivation, agricultural, household industries,

small scale business, etc

3.1.2 Economic Condition:

The BPL list is an indicator of the Socio-Economic condition of people which portrays the poverty

situation of the area. It is taken as baseline information before initiation of any development project.

The BPL Survey by the Department of Panchayatraj of Govt. of Orissa indicates that there are 3598 BPL

families in the villages coming under the project area. The village wise list of BPL families alongwith the

concerned Panchayat BPL families are narrated below.

3.2 Socio-Economic Condition of Project Affected Persons

The socio-economic condition of the Project Displaced Families (PDFs)/Project Affected Families

(PAFs) has become imperative to understand the baseline information of the life style and life

chances of the family members as the land acquisition process would suddenly alternate their

land holdings status. It would form help in planning for Rehabilitation and Resettlement process

of the affected families. So, the family profile was studies which narrate the socio-economic

condition and their opinion and choice for rehabilitation measures.

The identification of Project Displaced Families (PDF) and Project Affected Families(PAF) was done as

per the Family Definition as per Orissa R&R Policy, 2006.

• Family” means the person and his or her spouse, minor sons, unmarried daughters, minor

brothers or unmarried sisters, father, mother and other members residing with him or her and

dependent on him or her for his / her livelihoods.

• Note:- Each of the following categories will be treated as a separate family for the purpose of

extending rehabilitation benefits under this policy.

(i) A major son irrespective of his marital status.

(ii) Unmarried daughter / sister more than 30 years of age.

(iii) Physically and mentally challenged person irrespective of age and sex;(duly certified by the

authorized Medical Board). For this purpose, the blind / the deaf/ the orthopedically

handicapped / mentally challenged person suffering from more than 40% permanent disability

will only be considered as separate family.

(iv) Minor orphan, who has lost both his/her parents.

(v) A widow or a woman divorcee.

3.2. Identification of affected families:

Identification of affected families is one of the key outputs expected from the socio-economic survey.

According to the R&R Policy, 2006 of Government of Orissa, the survey is also required to classify

families as ‘Original’ and ‘Separate’ among the affected families identified in the survey.

Table-3.2.1

Number of affected (Original and Separate) Families

Total number of Affected families (Original) identified: 1664

Total number of Affected families (Separated) identified: 3714

Based on the survey results, 1664 families have been identified as ‘Original Affected Family’ and 3714

families as ‘Separate Family’.

unmarried and 0.3% are widow/Widowers. None of the affected family members is a divorcee /

separated/destitute/more than one wife.

Among different categories of affected family members, widows/widowers are considered to be

extremely vulnerable. Widows are more vulnerable due to their dispossession from agriculture land.

The widows and widowers require utmost care and sensitivity on part of R&R team to extend all

possible support starting from the provision of vocational training, livelihood support, etc.

Child 0.4

Education is one of the major social development indicators apart from the caste, religion and marital

status of family members. Excluding the 0.4% children who do not go to school (mainly 5yrs or below

children), the survey result shows that 16.7% Affected Family members are completely illiterates who

can neither read nor write anything. Near about 17.9% families members can only able read and write

but they cannot be considered as functionally literates. Adding together the percentage of illiterates and

read &write, near about 34.6% affected family members are educationally backward.

The survey findings also show that 34.9% affected family members have completed education upto UP,

11.1% have completed M.E., 14.7% are upto the level of higher secondary, 2.3% are upto undergraduate

and 1.5% are graduate and above only. 0.4% family members have Technical which is very negligible.

Thus, adequate effort must be made by the project proponent to technically equip the affected family

members so that they get employed and earn better income for restoration of their livelihood.

income from the Agriculture and followed by 6.9% earn major income from labour work in agriculture

and non-agriculture sector, 1.8% each earn from Service and Private job.

Subsistence agriculture, non-farm based wage and agriculture have been pursued by almost all

affected family members to eke out a living for their families.

CHAPTER V

Rehabilitation Action Plan

Introduction

In order to develop the standard of living of the project affected families through the provision of

adequate Compensation & Rehabilitation measures in the project area, Orissa Government has

formulated a comprehensive Rehabilitation and Resettlement policy in 2006. The policy is the up soot of

the past lessons learnt from project specific Resettlement and Rehabilitation policies.

The main objectives of Orissa R & R policy, 2006 are to avoid displacement wherever possible and

minimize it exercising available options, to recognize voices of displaced communities emphasizing the

needs of the indigenous communities and vulnerable sections, to ensure environmental sustainability

through participatory and transparent process, and to help guiding the process of developing

institutional mechanism for implementation, monitoring, conflict resolution and grievance redressal.

The policy also emphasizes to conduct a socio-economic survey for identification of displaced families

and for preparing their socio- economic baseline.

The Orissa R & R policy, 2006 is proposed for the project affected families of the Coal Mine project of

RADHIKAPUR (W) COAL MINING PVT. LTD. at Chhendipada in ANGUL DISTRICT. The plan has been

prepared in accordance with the Orissa R&R Policy, 2006 and SES guidelines for conduct of Socio-

Economic Survey and Socio-Cultural, Resource Mapping and Infrastructural Survey in the Project Area

formulated by Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Government of Orissa (2008).

Consulting both policy and SES guidelines, the best options have been suggested in favour of the villages

and communities

Objectives of R& R Plan:

The primary objective of the R&R Plan is to identify impacts and to plan measures to mitigate various

losses of the Project while the specific objectives are as follows:

· To prepare an action plan for the project affected people for improving or at least retaining the living

standards in the post resettlement period.

· To outline the entitlements for the affected persons for payment of compensation and assistance for

establishing the livelihoods

METHODOLOGY Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan has been emphasized that the project shall play a positive

role in their socio-economic upliftment and also for betterment of quality of life of the Project

Displaced Families and Project Affected Families.

In addition to the rightful compensation, the provisions of Rehabilitation Assistance and activities for

periphery development have been proposed for the project affected families affected through

RADHIKAPUR (W) COAL MINING PVT. LTD. at Chhendipada in Angul District.

The survey was carried out for the Project displaced households and Project Affected Families

of both land Titleholders and Non Titleholders. A detailed Household Interview Schedule,

General Infrastructure Survey, Social and Cultural Infrastructure Survey questionnaire was

prepared for this purpose. The surveys and preparation of the plan included the following

procedure:

– The private land for the acquisition was collected from the project authority to identify the

titleholders,

- Due to the non availability of revenue records of the Non-titleholders (Encroachers), the land

for the acquisition was identified with panchayat members and elderly persons of the

concerned village along with physical verification of non-titleholders’ possession of land on site

– Door to door socio-economic survey of the project-affected families/owner was conducted to

collect the base line data. Data was collected on various parameters of Quality of life, Income

patterns, Land holdings, Amount of land loss due to this project, etc.

– The existing socio-economic profile of the project-affected area has been collected for the

purpose.

– Discussions and Consultations were held with all project affected families/persons of the

Project Area

ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION AND OTHER BENEFITS

The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 amended in 1984 is the core legal instrument for the private land

acquisition by the Government for public purpose. The immovable properties including land, house,

tree, irrigation channel, pipelines etc. falling within affected area will be acquired in accordance with the

provision of section 23 of Land Acquisition Act.

The LAA provides a framework for facilitating land acquisition in India. LAA enables the State

Government to acquire private land for public purposes. LAA ensures that no person is deprived of land

except under LAA and entitles APs to a hearing before acquisition. The main elements of LAA are:

(i) Land identified for the purpose of a project is placed under Section 4 of the LAA. This

constitutes notification. Objections must be made within 50 days to the District

Collector (DC, the highest administrative officer of the concerned District).

(ii) The land is then placed under Section 6 of the LAA. This is a declaration that the

Government intends to acquire the land. The DC is directed to take steps for the

acquisition, and the land is placed under Section 9. Interested parties are then invited to

state their interest in the land and the price. Under Section 11, the DC will make an

award within one year of the date of publication of the declarations. Otherwise, the

acquisition proceedings shall lapse.

(iii) In case of disagreement on the price awarded, within 6 weeks of the award, the parties

(under Section 18) can request the DC to refer the matter to the Courts to make a final

ruling on the amount of compensation.

(iv) Once the land has been placed under Section 4, no further sale or transfer is allowed.

(v) Compensation for land and improvements (such as houses, wells, trees, etc.) is paid in

cash by the project authorities to the State Government, which in turn compensates

landowners.

(vi) The price to be paid for the acquisition of agricultural land is based on sale prices

recorded in the District Registrar's office averaged over the three years preceding

notification under Section 4. The compensation is paid after the area is acquired, with

actual payment by the State taking about two or three years. An additional 30 percent is

added to the award as well as an escalation of 12 percent per year from the date of

notification to the final placement under Section 9. For delayed payments, after

placement under Section 9, an additional 9 percent per annum is paid for the first year

and 15 percent for subsequent years.

Resettlement Policy and Entitlement Matrix

i. R&R POLICY AND ENTITLEMENT FRAMEWORK

The Resettlement and Rehabilitation policy is based on the basic principle that the project

affected persons should improve their living standards in the post resettlement period and

share the benefits of the project. The RAP has been prepared as per the provisions laid down in

The Orissa Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2006.

The core involuntary resettlement principles for the Program to be followed for the power project (i)

land acquisition, and other involuntary resettlement impacts will be avoided or minimized exploring all

viable alternative designs; (ii) where unavoidable, time-bound resettlement plans (RPs) will be prepared

and PDF/PAFs will be assisted in improving or at least regaining their pre-program standard of living; (iii)

consultation with APs on compensation, disclosure of resettlement information to APs, and participation

of APs in planning and implementing the project will be ensured; (iv) vulnerable groups will be provided

special assistance; (v) payment of compensation to APs including non-titled persons (e.g., informal

dwellers/squatters, and encroachers) for acquired assets at replacement rates; (vi) payment of

compensation and resettlement assistance prior to the contractor taking physical acquisition of the land

and prior to the commencement of any construction activities; (vii) provision of income restoration and

rehabilitation; and (viii) establishment of appropriate grievance redress mechanisms.

ii. Rehabilitation Assistance for Project Displaced Family:

completed within 12-18 months, effective from the commencement of project execution.

J. Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance

i. Consultation: Stakeholders’ consultations have been in progress from the inception stage of

the project and the same will be continued during the entire project cycle, i.e., preparation,

implementation and post implementation. During the preparatory stages, consultations have

been carried out with various concerned government officials and local communities as part of

the social and resettlement study in order to gather their views on the proposed program.

Formal and informal consultative process will be carried out during the project cycle

including, but not limited to: focus group discussions (FGDs), public meetings, community

discussions, and in-depth and key informant interviews; in addition to the censuses and socio-

economic surveys. Consultations will be held with special emphasis on vulnerable groups.

Encouraging public participation in consultations informs the public of the Program and serves

as a venue for the public to express their opinion on priorities which the Program should

address. The PMU will ensure that affected families and other stakeholders are informed and

consulted about the project, its impact, their entitlements and options, and allowed to

participate actively in the development of the project.

The key stakeholders to be consulted during RAP implementation, and program

implementation includes:

(i) all project affected families, including vulnerable households;

(ii) program beneficiaries;

(iii) host populations in resettlement sites

(iv) elected representatives, community leaders, and representatives of community-based

organizations;

(v) local NGOs;

(vi) local government and relevant government agency representatives; and

(vii) Program staff, PMU and consultants.

ii. Disclosure: The project RP will be made available at relevant government offices and

project areas. The information will be disseminated to affected families at various stages of the

R&R Plan. Rehabilitation Action Plan will be translated into the local language and made

available at offices of the: (i) Project Site office; (ii) relevant local government line agencies; and

(iii) PMU

. Each RP will be made available in local language(s) during focus group discussions and

stakeholder meetings at the village/community level to ensure inputs from stakeholders

particularly at the village/community level. Female-headed households will be consulted. A

resettlement information leaflet containing information on compensation and resettlement

options will be made available in local language(s) and distributed to affected families. The PMU

will conduct consultations in affected villages to explain the resettlement plan in coordination

with village/community leaders. Each Affected Family will be provided information regarding

specific entitlements. Disputes on entitlements can be forwarded to the PMU for appropriate

action.

i. Grievance/Redressal Mechanism:

A committee will be set up comprising of Radhikapur (W) Coal Mining Pvt. Ltd., representatives

of local authorities, PAPs, Gram Panchayat or any well reputed person as mutually agreed with

the local authorities and PAPs. This committee will address the grievances of the PAPs. A senior

official will represent RWCMPL from Region/Corporate Centre.

K. Implementation Schedule, Monitoring and Evaluation

i. Implementation Schedule

All land acquisition, resettlement, and compensation will be completed before the start of civil

works All land required will be provided free of encumbrances to the contractor prior to handing

over of project sites and the start of civil works. The implementation of the Rehabilitation Action

Plan (RAP) will include: (i) identification of cut-off date and notification, (ii) verification of losses and

extent of impacts, (iii) finalization of entitlements and distribution of identity cards, (iv)

consultations with affected families on their needs and priorities, and (v) resettlement, provision of

compensation and assistance, and income restoration for affected families.

L. Monitoring and Evaluation

i. Internal Monitoring

Internal monitoring will be the responsibility of the Project Management Unit (PMU). The PMU

internal monitoring will include: (i) administrative monitoring: daily planning, implementation,

feedback and problem identification, individual AP file maintenance, and progress reports; (ii)

socio-economic monitoring: baseline information for comparing AP’s socio-economic

conditions, evacuation, demolition, salvaging materials, , community relationships, dates for

consultations, and number of appeals placed; and (iii) impact evaluation monitoring: Income

standards restored/improved, and socioeconomic conditions of the affected persons.

Monitoring and evaluation reports documenting progress on resettlement implementation and

RP completion reports will be provided by the PMU for review by the management.

ii. External Monitoring

RWCMPL will engage the services of an independent agency or civil society not associated with

project implementation to undertake external monitoring and evaluation. The external agency, with

previous experience in resettlement activities and familiarity with Government R& R policy, will be

engaged. The external monitor will monitor and verify RP implementation to determine whether

resettlement goals have been achieved, livelihood and living standards have been restored, and

provide recommendations for improvement. The external monitoring will undertake monthly

monitoring and impact evaluation on a sample basis during mid-term and project completion.

Monitoring will also ensure recording AP views on resettlement issues; AP understanding of

entitlement policies, options, and alternatives; site conditions; compensation valuation and

disbursement; grievance redress procedures; and staff competencies. The external monitor will also

evaluate the performance of the PMU related to resettlement issues. The external agency will

report its findings simultaneously to the RWCMPL twice a year. Provisions would be made in the

resettlement budget component for engaging an external monitor. The internal monitoring report

will be submitted quarterly for review where as the external monitoring report will be submitted

half yearly for review.

Recommendations

RWCMPL may develop a communication plan regarding the employment (both direct and

indirect) of the people in the RWCMPL project, plan of technical education for self employment,

Rehabilitation and Resettlement benefits for the Project Displaced Families/Project Affected

Families, awareness about the infrastructure facilities to be provided in the Resettlement

Colony, and guide the villagers to have alternative income generating activities.

The expectation of the affected families on rehabilitation assistance is heavily tilted towards job and

contract work in the Company. This requires lot of discussion, consultation and counseling by the project

authorities to convince the families regarding the benefits of other remunerative economic

rehabilitation options.

Along with the technical training, training on entrepreneurship along with behavioural inputs such as

achievement-motivation should be imparted to enhance self-employment opportunities.

Awareness regarding the utilization of Compensation to all the land losers may be given at the

earliest so that the affected families can use their compensation in productive way and find

their alternate livelihood options with the compensation amount.

The following genuine gender concerns are addressed in the R & R Plan which needs to be implemented

with gender sensitized personnel:

• Health and ICDS facilities for women and children

• Vocational and Income generating activities for women through women self-help groups

• Education and skill based training of girl children

Implementation, Concurrent Monitoring of R&R may be done by RWCMPL with the team of

experts in R&R and Community Development works.

He suggested that a coordinationcommittee should be formed to carryout all the developmental works ofthe area. A thick green belt has to becreated in the locality. Theunderground water should not beused for any industrial purpose. Thewaste water from the coal washeryshould be treated before dischargingto Singhara Jhor. The mined out areashould be re-habilitated. The newR&R Policy, 2011 should be followedby the industry. The mine authorityshould take all precautionarymeasures to control pollution. Thedrinking water should be supplied tothe affected villagers. The solidwaste of the coal washery should beproperly managed.

5. PradeepKumar Sahu,Kosala

He pointed out that the Talcher,Kaniha and Chhendipada areas havealready been affected by the Talchercoal belt. The Singhada Jhor, AunliJhor and Brahmani River have beenaffected by the coal mine activities inthe areas. This will subsequentlyaffect the civilization along the waterbodies. Hence he suggested that amaster plan for all the proposed coalmines should be prepared and theaffected people should be re-habilitated accordingly. He furthersuggested that instead of conductingindividual public hearing for eachproject, one public hearing should beconducted for the entire area as perthe master plan.
