EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 BACKGROUND

Road and Budding Department (RBD) of the Government o f Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has entrusted the responsibility of planning, construction and maintenance o f the key State roads to the Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporat ion (APRDC). In order to improve the selected core road network, APRDC has planned to provide better quahty and safer roads to the road users on a sustainable basis. In t h l s context, APRDC i s seekmg the World Bank fundmg for the proposed Andhra Pradesh Road Sector Project (APRSP). This i s continuation to the earlier loan from the Bank on improving core ne twork in the state. As part o f project preparation, APRDC engaged Feasibility consultants to prepare d e t d e d project report o f about 900 km wh ich included undertaking social assessment and preparation o f Resettlement Ac t i on Plan (RAP). As per the requirement o f Andhra Pradesh Resettlement and Rehabhtation Policy (APRRP) 2005, an RAP i s required to b e prepared to assess the impacts resulting from the proposed road improvements. T h e document in hand deals about the Social Management Plan (SMP) of Kurnool-Devenkonda (KD) road (about 65 km) and it i s one o f the sub-projects (also referred as package) proposed to be covered in the Year 1 of the project implementation.

2 ABOUTAPRSP T h e proposed project (APRSP) envisions following three components:

Component A - Road Improvement: Based on traffic studies, this road improvement component has been subdivided into the following sub-components

(i) Road improvement and zipgradation: Based on core ne twork analysis, APRDC has selected about 900 km of road for widening, upgradation and strengthening purposes. These roads d b e constructed by loan assistance from the World Bank.

(ii) Pziblic- Private Pan%ersh$(PPP): APRDC has selected about 1200 km of hgh traffic density road on PPP mode involving private entrepreneurship

(iii) Ozitptt and Pe7foomance bared Road Contracts (OPRC) : About 6500 km o f roads have been selected under h s sub-component.

Component B - Institutional Strengthening component: This component d facilitate operationalization of APRDC, capacity buildmg of APRDC.

Component C - Road safety component: T h ~ s component d help APRDC/RBD towards better management o f traffic and other road safety issues through improved technical solutions.

3 OBJECTIVES

T h e main objectives o f the proposed S M P are the following:

Avoid, i f not minimize involuntary resettlement, exploring al l viable project alternatives;

Where involuntary resettlement i s unavoidable, assess the magmtude o f adverse social impacts and propose mit igation measures;

Hold consultations with the project stakeholders and consultations in S M P ;

Deve lop inst i tut ional mechanism for planning, implement ing and monitoring the process and the R&R activities;

assimilate the outcome o f these

Detailed Project Report, Vol - VI11 : Resettlement Action Plan E - 1


Address other social issues (resulting from the proposed project interventions) related to vulnerable groups (including tribal) and road safety; and

Prepare a plan ( S M P ) to address all social issues associated with the project.

4 METHODOLOGY T h e preparation of S M P has focused on detailed consultations and part icipation o f project

’ affected persons (PAPS) and other project stakeholders. I t involved extensive f ield (census and socioeconomic) survey using structured questionnaires and p d e l i n e s for undertakmg Focus Group dlscussions (FGD) and other stakeholders’ consultation. T h e desk review, structured questionnaires, open ended formats, FGD pde l i nes , preparation of Village D ia ry etc. were the specific tools used to collect the required information. T h e data/ information thus collected helped in understanding the social and economic features of the affected communities and in appreciating their issues and concerns. Identi f icat ion o f land to b e acquired and inventory o f structures coming within the corr idor o f impact were the main components o f the census survey carried out among the identi f ied potential project affected famdies (PAF).

5 PROJECTAREA T h e project road Kurnool - Devanakonda i s part o f SH-50 (Guntur - Kumool - Bellary highway) located in Kumool &strict of Rayalseema region. I t starts from km 4/4 at Kumool enrooting Peddapadu, Nagalapuram, Kudumuru and Kanvemula and ends at km 65/0 at Devanakonda.

T h e proposed road improvement envisages 2-laning with paved shoulder from Kurnool to Kodumuru (4/400-35/350) and two laned earthen shoulder(35/350- (Km 65/300-64/00) based on traffic studies. The proposed road requires improvement o f geometry at two sharp curves, rising of submerged stretches and provision o f drains (both side and cross drains) along the entire stretches.

T h e proposed road improvement envisages 4 laning o f Tirutani junction (Km 3/200 to 6/200) and 2-laning of Tirutani-junction to Puttur (Km 6/200-64/00) with paved shoulders. T h e project design includes improvement of geometry at sharp curves, realignment o f major bridge approaches, raising of submerged stretches and provision of d ra ins (both sides and cross drains, particularly in the b d t up sections) along the entire stretch. To minimize impact on road side establishments, the proposed road improvement has considered minimum corridor of impact (CoI) without compromising technical standards.

6 PROJECT IMPACTS Proposed road improvement will require 3.30 ha o f land mainly for geometric/curve improvements. There are 190 project affected f a d e s (PAFs), and 966 project affected persons (PAPS). Out of total 190 PAFs only 11 are titleholders, 97 encroachers, 40 squatters and 36 hosks. Social assessment o f theses PAFs has identi f ied 35 vulnerable consisting of 14 Scheduled Caste (SC), and 11 W o m e n Headed Households (WHH). W e major i ty of these are be low poverty level (BPL), there are 110 PAFs who do not belong these socially dlsadvantaged groups but are BPL famdies. T h e dlstribution of vulnerable PAFs in dlfferent social groups i s g v e n in the following Table. These f a d e s received focus attention under RAP for their resettlement.

These f d e s received focus attention under RAP for their resettlement.

Based on the stakeholders’ consultation, census survey of affected families, comprehensive socioeconomic study of the Project Displaced Families (PDF) and d e t d e d assessment of the required land acquisition, i t i s established that the proposed project improvements d have low level of adverse impacts on the local population.



SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS TRIGGERED While the proposed interventions for improvement o f KD road result in some involuntary

resettlement, the results of the social assessment established that t h l s d not impact any tr ibal groups in the project area. M o r e over, the assessment found that there are no tribal specific habitations along the proposed KD road. In other words, t h i s sub-project triggers the Bank‘s operational pol icy (OP 4.12) on involuntary resettlement and not OP 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples (referred as tribal in Ind lan context). W e the present S M P includes a detaded Resettlement Ac t i on Plan (includmg measures for compensating loss o f l and and other assets, relocation o f project displaced families and economic rehabhtat ion to restore livehhood), i t also include measures to address issues related to women and prevention of HIV/AIDS and road safety (mainly awareness program).

STAKEHOLDERS’ CONSULTATION To ensure continued people participation, a consultation mechanism was evolved wh ich would continue during the project implementation. Loca l people were i n fo rmed about the project and i t s activities and they were consulted in the project related decisions. T h i s helped in understandmg not only their perceptions about the project but also seek their opinion about the project, their preferences/options and their input in the project designs. These consultations were two-way communication where relevant informat ion was shared with the project stakeholders including affected communities. T h e informat ion shared with the stakeholders related to the extent of land acquisition and number o f structures affected, physical dsplacement and relocation, economic rehabhtation, inst i tut ional mechanism for planning and implementation o f the project, etc. T h e stakeholders’ consultation were he ld at various levels - d a g e , Mandal, Distr ict and Project.

T h e consultation has emphasized on involving pr imary stakeholders (project affected famhes) directly related to planning and implementing RAP and the project activities. During social assessment and RAP preparation, specific consultation strategy was adopted to consult with ST and other vulnerable PAFs. T h l s included sharing informat ion on the specific measures to support the ST and other vulnerable PAFs in their R&R process. T h e S M P includes a consultation framework to b e adopted during i t s implementation.

R&R POLICY FRAMEWORK T h e R&R Policy 2005 of GoAP has a number o f progressive measures to help those affected by the infrastructure projects in the state. However, a review of the pol icy revealed that the R&R issues related to road sector projects have not been adequately addressed. In h s regard, a gap analysis o f the state R&R policy was carried out to identify addt iona l measures required to address R&R issues associated with road sector projects. Changes proposed in APRRP 2005, based on th i s gap analysis, have been included in the R&R entitlement framework for the present APRSP. Accordingly, the changes proposed by A P R D C have been approved by GoAP. T h i s R&R entitlement f ramework together with specific measures to address other social issues (HIV/AIDS, road safety) provides the base for the preparation o f t h i s S M P (including RAP as an important component). Important features o f the pol icy framework for land acquisition and R&R entitlements under APRSP are as follow:

Land acquisition (LA) will be as per L A A c t 1894. T h e project WLLl follow consent award (or mutual negotiations) and if t h i s fads, normal LA process d be followed.

A one t ime financial assistance equivalent to 750 days of minimum wages will be paid t o a .PAF who becomes landless due to loss o f land for the project. For those becoming marginal farmers and small farmers, t h i s financial assistance will b e equivalent to 500 man days and 350 man days respectively.

Basic schedule o f rates i s the rate l is t given in Government report for replacement value.

Detailed Project Report, Vol - VI11 : Resettlement Ac t i on Plan E - 7


resettlement sites are mainly proposed in RBD land. Relocation sites have been proposed along the road, keeping in view the proposed technical designs and ensuring adequate safety measures. At locations where R&B land i s not avadable, the Distr ict Administrat ion wdl provide land for resettlement site subject to avai labhty of Government land. In d u s process, the Distr ict R&R Committee wdl help in identification of suitable government land for resettlement sites.

T h e procedures to b e fol lowed by the implement ing functionaries have been detaded out in S M P . Essentially, these include veri f icat ion and updating the l i s t o f PAFs; publ ic dsclosure o f t h i s l i s t and their (on individual basis) R&R entitlements; issuance of ID Cards along with their photos, losses and entitlements; compensation for loss of land and other assets; disbursement o f relocation assistance i n c l u d n g house construction assistance and subsistence allowance; development o f resettlement sites and allotment o f house sites, etc. No f d y wdl be deprived o f their landlstructure unless compensated. No construction will b e init iated unless PAFs are compensated and they receive their R&R assistance. Sirmlarly, no construction will be permitted unless all PDFs are properly resettled. As indicated in Table 2, dsplaced families under project d get a free house site, a house construction grant for BPL f d e s , grant for cattle shed, transport assistance and subsistence allowance.

’

12 REHABILITATION T h e over all approach o f the project towards the economic rehabhtat ion of PAFs i s to ensure that they enhance, i f not at least regam their pre-project level o f economic livelihood. Towards t h i s end, the R&R policy framework agreed for the project includes al lotment of government land (where avadable and agreed by the el igble PAF) together with the financial assistance towards land development and adjustment o f compensation towards the cost o f land allotted. Financial assistance to el igble PAFs i s p rov ided i f they become landless, marginal and small farmers after L A for the project. Such f d e s are also supported to access on-going income generation schemes of the government as complementary to their eligibhties. Government programs for income generation are avadable to vulnerable farmlies (BPL, SC andST) on subsidy-loan schemes. T h e Package NGO (selected for CP road) will help such vulnerable PAFs to access government programs. T h e rehabhtat ion assistance provided to PAFs along with subsidy will help them to enhance their living condt ions. O n e member from each o f such el igble PAFs will b e g v e n training either to impart new s k d l or improve the existing ones to help then take up alternate income generating schemes and supplement their household income.

All efforts wdl b e made to ensure that interested (and d n g to take-up the government schemes) PAFs are covered under the on-going government schemes. T h e Package NGO has a major ro le in helping PAFs in not only gett ing their R&R entitlements on t ime but also in ensuring their proper use. T h e NGO, with the help o f the Package Manager (Engneer in charge o f CP road), wdl approach the concerned government departments/agencies and ensure their coverage under Government programs, particularly the I n b a K r a n h Patham.

Vulnerable f d e s will be preferred in the al lotment of sites for businesses/shops. Concerted efforts wdl b e made to help such vulnerable P A F s to access government schemes for their r socio-economic development.

13 OTHER SOCIAL ISSUES Tribal and other Vulnerable Groups

T h e proposed project interventions wdl not have any adverse impacts on the indgenous peoples (referred locally as tribal) as ‘indvidual, groups or communities’. T h e vulnerables among PAFs include the BPL families, w o m e n headed households, SC f a d e s , etc. During implementation, all vulnerable i f interested will b e g v e n preference for wage employment in the project construction activities.



14

Gender Issues

Women are categorized as vulnerable groups and if they are affected by the project on individual basis, they are eligible for additional support in their R&R process. W o m e n d get wages, under the project, at par with m e n on ‘equal work equal payment’ basis. Where ever available and active women Self H e l p Groups, i f interested will b e invo lved in project implementation. Package NGO has an important role to involve w o m e n members through out the project period.

Child Labour

No c M d labour will b e involved in the construction work. Thts i s an important clause of the contractual agreement with the Construction agency. Ths d b e strictly mon i to red by the project during implementation.

Road Safety Education

During social assessment and stakeholders’ consultation, road safety has emerged an important issue and local communities and other road users expressed their concerns, particularly on completion o f project whtch would significantly increase the vehc le speed and traff ic flow. In t h i s regard, the project provides for road safety measures in the construction plan. However, to educate the local communities on the use o f road, following traffic rules and ensuring safety, a program on road safety education has been included in the present S M P . Since the Package NGO would b e developing a good rapport with the local communit ies and other road users, road safety education and awareness campaigns d be one of i t s important activities of the as signmen t . Prevention HIV/AIDS Transmission

I t i s wel l established that because o f proposed improvements in the road, mobihty of Commercial Sex Workers and truckers and other road users WIU also increase and hence increased chances o f transmission and spread of HIVIAIDS. Prevention and control of HN/AIDS transmission d b e one of the important social responsibihties of the project. An action plan for the prevention and control o f H I V / A I D S has been prepared in close coordmation with the Andhra Pradesh A I D S Control Society (APSACS) for the entire AP Road sector project, of wh ich t h i s KD road i s also included. This Plan d be implemented by the Package NGO, closely worlung with APSACS local functionaries and supported by the Package Manager.

IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM In th i s comprehensive S M P , RAP i s the most important component. O the r components o f S M P include prevention and control o f HIV/AIDS and Road Safety Ac t i on Plan. T h l s S M P , therefore, has a variety o f project stakeholders, target groups and implement ing agencies. For example, R&R component d b e implemented by the Package Manager in close coordination with the Distr ict Admmistrat ion and will be closely monitored by the Distr ict R&R Committee. RAP implementation d b e fachtated by the Package NGO. HIV/AIDS plan d b e implemented by involving APSACS directly. Road safety measures d be implemented with. the help o f Transport Department where Package NGO d be undertalung education and awareness programs among the local/road side communities and other road users.

Therefore, the agreed framework for S M P implementation i s as follows.
