This project is a part of Green National Highway Corridor Project (GNHCP), for which a RPF has been prepared based on the findings of Social Survey Report (SSR) covering initial impact assessment and review of applicable legal and policy framework. In order to address the adverse impacts of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement in GNHCP sub-projects, MoRTH, Govt. of India recognized the need for the development of Resettlement Policy Framework. Review of Social Screening Reports (SSRs) reveal that applicable legal and administrative procedures vary from State to State and also there are gaps between Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policies of the country and certain states and the Bank’s Resettlement Policy. Hence, there is a need to understand the critical elements of the existing legal and policy framework and agree on a mechanism that will address the key social issues and formulate a specific policy framework for the project to bridge the major gaps to conform to the provisions of World Bank’s operational policies related to Involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples. This policy framework will help expedite the process and facilitate consistent preparation of ARAPs across all project roads in different states.  Réduire
