Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa CHAPTER-1: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 1.1 INTRODUCTION The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORTH), Government of India has decided to up-grade the entire existing single lane/intermediate lane National Highways, which are not covered under National Highways Development Program (NHDP) to at least 2-lane standards through National Highways Inter-connectivity Improvement Program (NHIIP). The NHIIP comprises of 33 project roads of non-NHDP National Highways across 7 states and 1 Union Territory with total length of 3769 km. Of these, 11 sub-projects have been proposed by MORTH for implementation with World Bank Assistance. The present report pertains to Bhojpur to Chhatabar Section (Km 131.000 to Km 192.000) of NH 200 in the State of Orissa. The MORTH intends to rehabilitate and up-grade the existing single lane/intermediate lane between Bhojpur to Chhatabar of NH 200 to 2- lane/2-lane with paved shoulders configuration. The implementation of rehabilitation and up-gradation of this corridor is likely to be taken up with World Bank assistance. The World Bank has agreed to support this sub-project in-principle provided the implementation conforms to environmental and social safeguard policies of the World Bank and the legal framework of the country. The project road starts at Bhojpur (Km 131.000) in Sambalpur District and ends near Chhatabar (Km 192.000) in Deogarh District on NH-200 in Orissa State. The project road is divided in two parts. First part of the project road at km 156.436 terminates on NH 6 near Tilaibani village. In second part, the project road at NH 200 is again originated just before Deogarh city, in continuation of chainage km 156.436 and ends near Chhatabar at km 192.000. National Highway-200 (NH 200) connects Raipur, the state capital of Chhattisgarh to Chandikhole in Orissa. It covers a total distance of 740 km. In Chhattisgarh state, NH- 200 starts at Raipur and passes through, Dharsinwa, Simga, Nandghat, Baitalpur, Bilaspur, Mulmuda, Pamgarh, Bhopapara, Tunda, Bilaigarh, Sarsiwa, Khajari, Sarangarh, Bajara, Kotmara, Tetla, Raigarh while in Orissa state NH 200 passes through Lakhanpur, Brajarajnagar, Jharsuguda, Kolabira, Kuchinda, Bhojpur, Pravasuni, Deogarh, Gogua, Naikul, Bajrakot, Talcher, Parjang, Kamakhyanagar, Bhuban, Sukinda and terminate at Chandikhole. The project road passes through Sambalpur and Deogarh districts of Orissa State. Most of the project road falls under Deogarh district. It passes through settlements like, Bhojpur, Sirid, Pravasini, Deogarh, Riamal and Chhatabar. Total length of the project road is 61 km. The project location map of the project road is given under Figure 1.1.Riamal, Telimunda and Chhatabar are very congested stretch on the project road. The project road for most of its length passes through rolling and plain terrain. From Km 140.500 to Km 141.500 and Km 158.000 to Km 167.000, the road passes through hilly terrain. In about 26.251 km length project road, passes through reserved and protected forest area. The project requires World Bank, Government of India (GOI) and the State Government (GOO) clearances and approvals before the construction work can proceed. The project road does not fall under the preview of EIA Notification 2006, amended in 2009. Since the project road is not located in a legally defined eco-sensitive area, there is no wildlife sanctuary and national park within 10 km from the project road and land acquisition is Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-1:Description of the Project 1-1 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa not more than 20m at any location of the project road, no environmental/wildlife clearance is required to be sought from the NBWL/MOEF. The MORTH has appointed the Louis Berger Group Inc. as project consultant to assist all aspects of project preparation and implementation in accordance with the objectives as detailed in the Terms of Reference (TOR). These tasks are linked to the engineering, environment and social aspects of the project preparation that will be undertaken throughout the period of Consultancy agreement 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The NH-200 connects Raipur, the State Capital of Chhattisgarh and Chandikhole in the State of Orissa covering a distance of 700 km. The project road (Km 131.00 to km 192.00) corridor takes off from km 131.00 at Bhojpur, traverses in south-east direction about 25km and joins NH-6(Hazira-Kolkata road) at km 156+436 near village Tileibani. After traversing approximately 12km towards east on NH-6, the project road chainage km 156+436 resumes at another junction with NH-6 near Deogarh. From there the project road traverse towards south direction passes through village Chhatabar (between km 186.00 and km 187.00) and ends at km 192.00. The project road (km 131.00 to km 192.00) passes through two districts viz., Sambalpur and Deogarh( ref. Table 1.1) in the state of Orissa. The available of ROW at habitation and non-forest sections of the project road varies in between 8m to 30m. In forest stretches, available ROW width is around 8mtr to 14m. At few locations it is more than 30m. At many locations it has been encroached by the local public. The major portion of the road falls within the district of Deogarh.

These two road sections are from km 131.000 to km 156.436 and from 156.436 to km 192.000. Otherwise there is no major diversion along the project highway. Accordingly for traffic volume purposes the project road has been divided into two homogeneous sections. The directional classified traffic volume counts were carried out for these traffic homogeneous sections at km 131.500 (Bhojpur for Homogeneous Section 1) and km 182.00 (Riamal for Homogeneous Section 2) for 24 hours a day continuously for 7 days. Based on these traffic counts, it is revealed that the composition of traffic shows two wheelers comprises of 26% and 35% of total traffic for Homogeneous Section 1 and 2 respectively. Two wheelers are mainly used for local movements for various purposes. It reduces dependency on public transport and is less time consuming. The Cycle traffic is very large and it constitutes about 35% of total traffic for both the sections. The Cycles are used for short distance movement by the people residing in the surrounding areas of the project road and is an inexpensive mode of travel for locals. Car/Jeep/Van/Taxi etc. at both locations comprise 4% of the total traffic volume. Light commercial vehicle (LCV) comprises only 2% and 5% at Bhojpur and Reamalrespectively. The traffic surveys also reveal that the daily variation in passenger vehicles is not much and major portion of the traffic i.e. around 60% to 70% of the total traffic volume comprises of 2 wheelers and bicycles.

The up-gradation of (Bhojpur-Chhatabar Section (Km. 131.00 to Km. 192.00) of NH-200 (Package no. SP/D/8) aims to: • Improve and strengthen the pavement to provide better riding quality with adequate pavement crust and to reduce maintenance requirement. • Improve the horizontal and vertical alignment of the existing road. • Reduce travel timewith better geometrics and by removing bottlenecks at various important junctions. • Increase the capacity of the existing road to cater the future traffic • Improve accessibility of the existing highway. • Provide highway amenities like Lay-by, bus stop etc. • Improve safety by improving numerous intersections on entire stretch 2.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS 2.1.1 Proposed Design Standards for Highway The Vertical Alignment has been designed for minimum criterion of Intermediate Sight Distance as per two-laning manual. However, at exceptional location where ISD is not feasible to be provided, at least Safe Stopping sight distance has been proposed. The geometric design of the Project Road is based on ”Geometric design standards for rural (Non-urban) Highways IRC-73-1980”and, “Geometric Design for Urban Highways" IRC-86-1983 for the rural and urban sections respectively. Efforts have been made to design of horizontal alignment, to accommodate the 2-lane highway with the optimum use of the existing ROW without making much compromise in the standards. In general a minimum radius of 230m (in Rolling Terrain design speed 80 km/h) is kept for horizontal curves, except in built up area to achieve a good balance among, additional land acquisition and highway geometrics. The road sections of built up areas have been designed for minimum 65km/h speed (35kmph in Riamal town). In all 64 numbers of substandard horizontal curves will be improved. The adopted cross- sectional element as per Design Standard is presented in Table 2.1 below: Table 2.1: Adopted Cross-Sectional Elements Element Characteristics Design Value Road way width 12m on rolling terrain & 11m on hilly section Carriage way 7m Shoulder • 2.5m earthen shoulder on both sides in rural area • Paved shoulder of 1.5m with footpath cum drain of 1.5m wide on both sides are provided in built-up stretches • 2.5m granular shoulder on valley side, 1.5 m granular shoulder on valley side in hilly stretches Cross fall (Carriage way) 2.5% Earthen shoulder 3.0% Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-2:Proposed Improvement Plan, Benefit of the Project and IMP 2-6 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

The coordination between social and design teams helped in minimizing the number of PAPs and affected households. In view of its proposed development, Concentric Widening option has been proposed in most of the built-up project sections to avoid or to minimize the additional land acquisition, thereby to minimize the negative social and environmental impacts and to reduce in the number of PAPs. The project road traverses through Riamal village from km 180.500 to 183.00. This part of town is densely populated and existing ROW varies between 8m to 20m. Majority of ROW is encroached and widening proposal of the existing road in this section could impact about 139 structures. At initial stage of the project, to avoid all adverse impact in Riamal village, four bypass options were proposed and presented to the local public during public consultation. There was a heavy public protest especially by the land owners in Riamal against fresh land acquisition required for the proposed bypass. Thereafter, widening of the existing road was proposed which was also protested heavily by the local public. Considering these the project authority decided strengthens the existing road in Riamal village portion instead of widening. Therefore, strengthening work in the Riamal village section will be done within the available space without impacting any existing structures or fresh land acquisition. Based on the finalizationof the alignment for the whole stretch, typical cross sections for eccentric and concentric widening option were developed to cater to all type the sections (rural, built up, hilly etc.)along the entire stretch. Cross-sectional elements have been designed after carefully analyzing the various design factors in context of the project stretch including traffic volume, economic considerations, type of settlement i.e. urban, semi-urban or rural, nature of land use like commercial, residential etc.existing ROW (especially in built-up areas), ease of movement without conflicts, drainage and runoff considerations, type of junction points and link roads, pedestrian traffic and public/ community structures as well as to keep number of PAPs as minimum. The details of these typical cross-sections are summarized below. Table 2.2: Summary of Typical Cross Sections Si.

Summary of proposed improvement Plan is presented in Table 2.3 below Table 2.3 Proposed Improvement Plan of NH-200 Sl. Project Features Proposal under Improvement Plan No. 1. Total Project Length 60.9km • The design speed for the rolling terrain is generally kept as 80 km/ h and for hilly sections it is generally kept as 50 km/hr. • For Horizontal Curves, generally minimum radius of 230m (in Rolling Terrain with design speed 80 km/h) is proposed except in built up area to achieve a good balance between additional land acquisition and highway geometrics. Improvement of Highway • The road sections built up areas have been designed 2. Geometric for minimum 65kmph speed (35kmph in Reamal town). • In all 64 numbers of substandard horizontal curves will be improved. • The Vertical Alignment has been designed for minimum criterion of Intermediate Sight Distance as per two-lane manual. At exceptional location where ISD is not feasible to be provided, Safe Stopping sight distance are considered at least Paved shoulder of 1.5m with footpath cum drain of 1.5m wide Provision of Paved 3. on both sides are proposed to be provided in built-up Shoulder stretches Options of providing bypasses have been examined in (4 villages) Bhojpur, Rengalbeda, Riamal and Telimunda where the built-up area is comparatively long (more than 500m). The ROW in Bhojpur and Rengalbeda is sufficient to accommodate the proposed cross section. However in village Riamal and Telimunda the geometrics are substandard and the ROW is varying only from 8 m to 15m. So, various 4. Proposed By-Pass alternatives have been examined and it is found that one 3 km bypass from km 179/900 to 185/500 is the most preferred. However, a very strong public opinion as emerged during consultations is in favor of using existing alignment. Thus, proposal of adopting the existing alignment is recommended with geometric design with design speed of 35 kmph so as to minimize the demolition of structures and land acquisition. 5 Raising of Highway • Minor realignment is proposed for improvement of Formation/realignment geometrics at one location. • In eight other locations where realignments are required, the improvement proposals have been made with design speed 60-65 km/h in order to accommodate the proposal within the existing ROW to the extent maximum possible. 6 Major Bridges one Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-2:Proposed Improvement Plan, Benefit of the Project and IMP 2-8 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

The road users to take diversion on other roads, like, NH 42, NH 23 and SH-10 due to poor condition of the project road. Therefore, development and economic growth of the surround area of the project road in comparison with the economic growth of the region/ state is considerably poor. Therefore, up-gradation of the project road is necessary to maximize the following benefits: 2.3.1 Regional Settings of the Project Road The project road is major connecting road between Jharsugudato Deogarh via Bhojpur and DeogarhtoRiamal, Chhatabar and further to Talcher/Angul. This road section is commonly used to travel between Jharsuguda to Angul and Talcher. The regional settings of the project road are shown in Figure 2.1. The up-gradation of the project road section will provide safe and rapid connectivity in the area and substantially help in development of the area and region. 2.3.2 Traffic Pattern The up-gradation of the project road will result in increase of traffic on the project road and traffic pattern will also be changed significantly. Traffic projections for the project section are given in Table 2.4.

During the screening, accident analysis has been done for last five years as described below:  One of the major finding from the accidents happened on the project road during last five years is that about 50% of the accidents are due to overturning of vehicles. These all are not on the sharp curves. Hence, it can be concluded that due to low level of traffic some vehicles ply with higher speed than the speed for which the road is designed and the condition of shoulders is also a reason for so many overturning accidents.  In Bhojpur village (Km 131.000 to Km 131.400), there are repetitions of accidents. About 17% of total number of accidents happening is only in this stretch. Near School, pedestrian involved in two accidents. In six accidents one of the vehicles is two-wheeler/cycle. All accidents are due to collision. Most of the accidents in daytime or before 9 pm. The data suggests that the accidents are happening when there is lot of local traffic in the built up area. The accidents are happening in all kind of seasons.  At Km 147.800, two accidents have happened. The road stretch here has very steep gradient combined with horizontal curve. Time and season do not have contribution here.  In the small stretch of Km 160.300 to Km 161.050, about 15% of all the accidents are happening. All accidents except one involve overturning. The road section has series of substandard horizontal curves. At Km 169.100, there is repetition of accidents and it is due the fact that required sight distance is not available on the vertical curve.

Therefore, up-gradation of the project road will enhance road user safety and result in significant reduction in road accidents on the project road. 2.3.4 Potential Industrial Growth The region is endowed with vast mineral deposits like coal, manganese and iron ore etc. The mineral map of Orissa State is shown in Figure 2.2. Presently, there is no industry in the area along the project road. The up-gradation of the project road is likely to accelerate industrial growth in the area due to improved road conditions and better transport facilities. Fig.2.2: Mineral Map of Orissa 2.3.5 Transport of Perishable Goods like Fruits and Vegetable The area is producer of varieties of fruits and vegetables. In the area along the project road Kuchinda, Deogarh and Riamal are potential vegetable markets. The major horticultural production area in the region comprises of Jharsugda, Deogarh and Angul districts.

The major vegetables grown are Brinjal, Cabbage, Cauliflower, watermelon. Brinjal and Cauliflower contribute 16 percent while cabbage contributes 20 per cent towards the total Production of vegetables. Watermelon is produced in large quantities and contributes 8 per cent. Other vegetables like beans, cowpea, pumpkin, ridge gourd, pointed gourd, colocasia, coccinia, green vegetables etc. constitute 23 percent. Deogarh District produces around 13 thousand MT of Onion and Potato annually. In addition, District produces around 51 thousand MT of fruits annually. The major fruits grown in Deogarh District are Banana, Mango and Citrus. Other fruits grown in the district are sapota, papaya and pineapple. The major spices grown in Deogarh district are ginger and turmeric and total production of spices are 10188 MT annually. Jharsuguda District: Jharsuguda district produces about 52 thousand MT of vegetables annually. The major vegetables grown in the district are Brinjal, and Tomato. Brinjal and Tomato constitute the major share of the vegetable production of the district contributing around 14 % and 9% of the total vegetable production respectively. Other vegetables like beans, cowpea, pumpkin, ridge gourd, pointed gourd, colocasia, coccinia, green vegetables, yam and watermelon etc. constitute 51 percent. Jharsuguda District produces around 8 thousand MT of Onion and Potato annually. Jharsuguda District produces around 24 thousand MT of fruits annually. The major fruits grown inJharsuguda District are Mango, Banana, Citrus and Guava. Other fruits grown in the district are sapota, papaya and pineapple. The major spices grown in Jharsuguda district are chili and garlic. Angul District: Angul district produces about 39 thousand MT of vegetables annually. The major vegetables grown in the district are Okra, Cabbage and Tomato. Okra and Cabbage contribute 20 and 19 per cent respectively, while tomato contributes 17 per cent towards the total production of vegetables. Angul District produces around 9 thousand MT of Onion and Potato annually. The District produces around 82 thousand MT of fruits annually. The major fruits grown in Angul District are Papaya, Mango and Jackfruit. Other fruits grown in the district are banana, custard apple, sapota, papaya and pineapple. The major spices grown in Angul district are coriander and chili. The major spices grown in district are ginger and turmeric. Poor efficiency of the marketing channels for fruits and vegetables due to poor road infrastructure is leading not only to high and fluctuating consumer prices, but also to only a small proportion of produce is reaching to regional markets. The up-gradation of the project road will provide quick transportation of agricultural produce and perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, etc in the markets of Orissa and other States. 2.3.6 Tourism There are many famous tourist places around Deogarh. These are mainly Pradhanapat Water Fall, Deogarh fort, Gokal Vilas and AnjaneshwarMahadev. Brief description of these tourist spots is as given below: Pradhanapat Water Fall:Fall is located 97 km fromSambalpur and is nearby to Deogarh. It is is a picturesque waterfall which is surrounded by scenic sights of nature. Deogarh Fort - The Deogarh fort with its graying battlements stands high up on a hillock towering over the town. Built by RawatDwarkadasji of the Chaudawat clan from Sisodia Dynasty in 1670, it went through several modifications in the following years.

Its ruins are now on an island in the Raghosagar Lake. In the lack of proper transport facilities, number of tourists visiting these tourist spot is considerably low. The up-gradation project road is likely to boost of tourism in the region. Summarily, the up-gradation of the project road is expected to have following benefits: Direct Benefits • Fast and Safe Connectivity, • Decongestion of traffic in Telimunda and Chhatabar by widening and up-gradation, • Savings in fuel, travel time and total transportation cost of road users, • Reduction in road accidents, • Reduction in air and noise pollution due to constant flow Macro Level Benefits • Employment opportunity to people • Development of tourism in the region • Development of local industry and handicrafts • Quick transportation of agricultural produce and perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, etc. • Improved quality of life for people 2.4 PROJECT IMPACT The proposed project would have the impact on the people living along the corridor as well as the assets, belonging to individual or/ and the community. The project would have both the positive and the negative impacts on the people and their environs. The positive impact of the project would be in terms of the better road network with increased potential for economic development and the improved road safety considerations. The negative impact would primarily be in the form of loss of livelihood, housing, access to common property resources and disturbance in the existing social fabric of the people living and working along the corridor. An effort has been made to minimize the negative impacts by designing appropriate Resettlement and Rehabilitation interventions through this RAP document. In this particular stretch, the impact of land acquisition for the purpose of road widening is minimizedto a very large extent, as the proposed development has been planned within existing ROW as per policy decision of MORTH. In context of the existing available ROW and the encroachments in the ROW, the project-affected structures are mainly owned by the Non-Titleholders. These are in the form of squatters and kiosks. The squatters were found to be of three types in the stretch Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-2:Proposed Improvement Plan, Benefit of the Project and IMP 2-14 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Amongst the commercial squatters and kiosks, the nature of activities vary from small shops, tea stalls, manufacturing of earthen utensils like pots, grocery, general stores, cigarette/ pan stalls, shoe repair, auto repair shops etc. The commercial squatters/ kiosks located throughout in built-up section along the highway. They primarily cater more to the regional population with an influence zone varying from 20-30 villages to 50-60 villages in the surrounding areas as compared to long distance truck traffic and transition traffic from within the region commuting from one place to another. 157 numbers of existing properties will be affected within corridor of impact i.e. 13m (6.5m each side) at built-up sections and as per design requirements in rural &other areas (except few locations). Private properties shares 131 (83.44%) numbers, Government/Public 2(1.27%) numbers, Religious 2 (1.27%) numbers, Boundary Walls 11 (7.01%) and Utility 9 (4.46%) numbers of the total affected properties The analysis of the impact of the project on the people is detailed out in next chapter “Social Impact Assessment”. 2.5 SOCIAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS The assessment of social impact on the people, who are going to be affected with respect to their place of living, livelihood/otherwise is an important exercise in the project planning and designing. In context of present project for the 2-lane/2 lane with paved shoulders configuration and strengthening of the NH-200, the tasks performed as a part of the ToRand the methodology adopted includes: a. Reconnaissance and observation visits to the project stretch to understand the broad settlement pattern and the physical features along the highway identify the critical sections of the road stretch develop an understanding of the general socio- economic profile and activity pattern along the highway b. Collection of information from secondary sources including net scanning. c. Mapping the socially critical points on the strip plan and preparation of inventory of loss of assets in the ROW to work out preliminary assessment of loss. d. Identification of key persons for the critical sections through informal discussions with the likely PAPs. e. Consultations with the likely PAPs as well as other key stakeholders including NGOs, district administration, local government etc. using focus group discussions, consultation meetings and other participatory tools for the assessment to develop rapport with the stakeholders including likely PAPs identify the key social issues assess likely impact on land, livelihood, structures, social cohesion, safety of the road users get people's view for various aspects of road design f. Group discussions with other members of the team including engineers, environmental experts, transport experts, economists etc. to share the social concerns, issues and impact of the project on the socio-economic conditions of the people build consensus on the issues develop options for addressing the technical, environmental and social concerns in the design develop agreement on the option which minimize and mitigate the negative impacts of the project through appropriate design provisions, as well as technically and environmentally feasible. f. Development and field-testing of the tools for detailed investigations. Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-2:Proposed Improvement Plan, Benefit of the Project and IMP 2-15 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Census and Socio-economic surveys of the project affected households including Survey of non-titleholders within ROW in two categories i.e. squatters and kiosks and the Survey of titleholderswhose land is going to be acquired for the purpose of improvement of the project road. h. Analysis of census and socio-economic surveys for the purpose of preparation of resettlement action plan and working out the policy framework. 2.6 CORRIDOR OF IMPACT (COI) In context of present project improvement of NH-200 as 2-lane/2 lane with paved shoulders configuration, the Corridor of Impact was the most important parameter in determining the number of PAPs. The requirement of the project demands that the entire corridor of impact should be free from any encroachment, human habitation and structure causing hindrances to traffic. Removing the encroachers and the squatters from the RoWdoes not guarantee that they would not reoccupy the area. Therefore, all estimations were limited to the CoI only and the project will not displace any person outside the corridor of impact, even if it is within the ROW. In general, for the present project, the width of the COI has been fixed to 13mt. (ie. 6.5m. on either side from centerline of highway) for built-up Section and generally up to 20m in open areas. In the majority of the cases, the existing ROW is less then COI. Therefore, only as per COI, fresh land has to be acquired. During the entire phase of implementation of this project under the World Bank funding, if additional COI will be required anywhere in the project section as per design requirement, the compensation to the PAFs falling within the additional COI section will be made as per entitlement provision under this RAP only. 2.7 CONSULTATION METHODOLOGY The public consultations were organized at two stages, i.e. at the feasibility stage and the final round of consultations at the DPR stage. The feasibility stage public consultations focused mainly on the mapping of the social issues related to the project stretch and were targeted to understand the concerns and aspirations of the people from the road project. The second round of public consultations were primarily centered on sharing of the proposed development plan and the broad R&R policy framework with the PAPs to get their views on the development proposals and the issues related to resettlement and rehabilitation. In addition to the consultations with the PAPs, interactions and consultations were held with other stakeholders especially the Gram Pradhans, NGOs, district administration to elicit their views and mobilize support for the implementation phase. The consultations with the officials of district administration including land revenue conducted under the Chairmanship of District Magistrate helped in getting assurance from them in terms of all the cooperation and support for the implementation of the project as well as nomination of the Competent Authorities. In light of the issues that have emerged during the consultation process, the following key principleswere derived for the design considerations: • Minimization of the land acquisition • Minimization of the displacement and relocation • Provision of adequate road safety measures in the road design include service roads, safe movement across the highway, parking places and stops for the local Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-2:Proposed Improvement Plan, Benefit of the Project and IMP 2-16 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

The project influence area has been considered as the administrative boundary of the districts Sambalpur and Deogarhthrough which the project road traverses. 4.2 ORISSA AT A GLANCE Orissa is located between the parallels of 17.49°N and 22.34°N latitudes and meridians of 81.27°E and 87.29°E longitudes. It is bounded by the Bay of Bengal on the east; Chhattisgarh on the west and Andhra Pradesh on the south. It has a coast line of about 450km. It extends over an area of 155,707 squarekm. Orissa is the ninth largest state by area and the eleventh largest by population. Orissa accounts for about 4.87 of the total area of India. It is situated on the east coast of India. According to the 2011 census of India, the total population of Orissa is 41947358 of which 50.5% are males and 49.4% are females. Population of Orissa increased by 13.9% during the decade 2001 to 2011. In terms of population Orissa stands eleventh among all the States and Union territories of India. The population density is 269 per km. There are 978 females per 1000 males. The literacy rate is 73.45% with 82.4% of males and 64.36% of females being literate, according to Census 2011 (Source: Provisional Orissa Handbook 2011). The dominant ethnic group are the Oriya people and Oriya (Oriya) is the official language of Orissa and spoken as a native language by about 73% of the people. Other linguistic minorities in the state are Bengali, Hindi, Telugu, and Santali. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes form 16.53% and 22.13% of the state population, constituting 38.66% of the State population. Some of the important tribes are Santhal, Bonda, Munda, Oraon, Kora and Mahali. Study indicates that where tribal concentration is of reasonable size, they stay together in a hamlet within the geographical boundary of the revenue village. In this way they maintain their tribal identity and keep their culture intact among themselves. But tribal social assimilation is restricted in nature leaving a few situations like common village festival and life cycle events. The study also observed that apart from independent identity, there is a community sentiment and feeling among all the community members in relation to common local issues. As the process of assimilation is a slow but continuous process which takes its socially regulated course, at this point, it can be said that the tribal communities in the studied villages are in the process of mainstreaming as part of the community along with their tribal identity. As a result, in some of the social groups that have been formed at village level are represented by tribal members along with members from other communities. Orissa has large tribal population, who are at various stages of socio-economic development. At one extreme are the groups which lead a relatively secluded and archaic mode of life, keeping their core culture intact, while at the other extreme there are communities which are indistinguishable from the general agricultural communities. The overall literacy rate of ST is only 37.4% as compared to the state average of 63.08%. The ST population in the State is overwhelmingly rural, with 94.5 percent residing in villages as compared to the state total of 85% people living in rural Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-4:Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Ingulence Area 4-21 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa areas.54.41% of the total tribal populations live in the Scheduled area and the remaining 45.59% live outside the Scheduled area. The project district of Sambalpuris part of schedule V area. There are 40.67 lakh operational holdings in Orissa with an area of 50.81 lakh hectares according to the Agricultural Census- 2000-2001. Small [2.5 to 5 acres] and marginal [1 – 2.5 acres] holdings accounted for 83.8% with an area of 53.12 %. 16.2% of holdings are semi-medium and large categories with an area of 46.88%. Out of 40.67 lakh operational holdings, 42.22% belong to tribal. As per the study “Integrated Social and Environmental Assessment Study” conducted by Targeted Rural Initiatives for Poverty Termination and Infrastructure, Orissa Rural Poverty Reduction Mission, Bhubaneswar “Ecological imbalance caused by drought and famine is now seriously undermining the livelihood patterns of the tribal and increasing vulnerability. A small land base, low agricultural productivity and low incomes have led to rising indebtedness, trapping tribal into a vicious circle of exploitation. The life of the tribal is increasingly vulnerable due to a persistent lack of assured entitlements to their resource base. Land alienation has deprived them of their land; forest legislation has turned them into encroachers on land they have always used; and they have also been disproportionately affected by displacement due to mining operations, irrigation projects, wildlife sanctuaries, etc. These have led to social discontent and unrest which provide fertile ground for extremist activities and violent protests.” The proportion of people living below the poverty line in 1999–2000 was 47.15% which is nearly double the all India average of 26.10%. (Source: Impact of increasing migration on women in Orissa, Sansristi, Bhubaneswar). Gender ratio is an important indicator for social assessment and a gender ratio tilted in favor of women is a sign of a healthy and developed society. Gender ratio means number of females per thousand males. The overall sex ratio in the Sambalpur and Deogarh district is 969 and 980 respectively. Gender ratio among the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe population in the districts revealed that the number of females per thousand males in this two category is much better than the overall district figure. This indicates there is certain degree intolerance towards female among the general category population as compared to SC and ST population. However, the sex ratio in SC and ST category is still below the standard ratio of 1:1 male and female. In the five-year period between 2004-05 and 2008-09, Orissa's GDP has grown by a stunning 8.74% way beyond the definition of 7% growth. It should be noted that the all- India growth during this period was 8.49%. During this period Orissa is the fourth fastest growing state, just behind Gujarat, Bihar, and Uttarakhand. The latest CSO data gives out this dramatic story of Orissa. The broad composition of the sectorial composition of the state income, at current prices, in 2006-07, indicates that the share of the primary, secondary territory and fourth finance & services sectors are 34.73%, 17.09%, 21% and 27.18% percent respectively. The sectorial composition of the state has undergone considerable changes during 2005-06. During this period, the share of primary sector gone down, Secondary gone up and territory sectors remains almost same. 4.3 MIGRATION IN ORISSA More than 30 million people in India are seasonal migrant laborers. Orissa’s share is 2.5 million and considered a key state for supply of migrant laborer. The 2002 BPL survey Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-4:Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Ingulence Area 4-22 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa has acknowledged migration as one of the criteria of rural vulnerability. Migration related to seasonal and casual work has been considered as key indicator for the survey. In Orissa 76,84,371 households were surveyed under the 2002 BPL survey carried out by the Government of India (reference BPL survey of India 2002). Out of which 30,28,526 households were reported as migrants and coming under the category of seasonal and casual work. The process of migration has a differential impact on women- whether they are left behind in the village in case their husbands migrate or in case they too migrate along with the males. In case of the former, the female-headed households are faced with the multiple tasks of not only running the household but also looking after the household, children and the aged ones. Exploitation of the women by the money lenders and other powerful and dominant persons lead to a situation where the women are most vulnerable. A research study on “Impact of Increasing Migration on Women in Orissa” by Sansristi, Bhubaneswar highlights the reasons for migration and its impacts on women. They are: • Economy of Orissa is predominantly agricultural. • Prevalence of small farmers having small sized land holdings 1, seasonal unemployment, the non-application of modern technology in agriculture in Orissa had forced the people to search for alternate sources of livelihood. People of the rural areas migrate to urban areas within and outside their districts and also to the neighboring states. • Natural disasters at regular intervals like droughts and famines and have created a vacuum in livelihoods. Landlessness, indebtedness and lack of livelihood force the people to seek survival options in other far way places. • Displacement is another major cause of migration in Orissa. Endowed with natural resources, mostly located in the Adivasi districts, the developmental projects linked to mining and industries have caused large-scale displacement of the indigenous population. • The non-availability of work in own village either governmental or otherwise is a condition which prompts migration. The non-relevance of the programmes, which are specially implemented to stop migration from the region, is also responsible for migration. Seasonal migration is found in the winter season after harvest of crops in the project affected districts to seek work in the brick kilns of Andhra or pull rickshaws/construction laborers in Raipur. Some also migrate to Gujarat for long term to work in the textile-weaving (power loom) and diamond-polishing businesses. Survival migration which is seasonal in nature and occurs under distress conditions are the unique characteristics of migration in Orissa. This type of survival migration in Orissa is found mostly in Adivasi areas. Some empirical studies have identified that, women migrants are on the rise from Orissa. Though illiterates, they have developed an urge to be economically independent. 1 50% of the total operated area falls under marginal (less than 1 hectare) and small (1-2 hectare) category (Economic Survey of Orissa, 2005-06) Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-4:Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Ingulence Area 4-23 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

The districts at a glance are presented in Table 4.1. Total number of inhabited villages in PIA is 1949, out of this 1238 number of villages are in Sambalpur district and the remaining 711 are in Deogarh district. As regard population in PIA Sambalpur district constitutes 78.82% of total PIA population and Deogarh district constitutes merely 21.18%. The population in Deogarh district is merely 274108 as against Sambalpur district of 935613. The low population in Deogarh district is reflected in density of population of the district with only 93 persons per sq. km. The same for Sambalpur district is 141 persons per square kilometer. Urbanization of an area is the reflection the development process and proportion of population living in rural area in PIA district is very high. In Deogarh district more than 92% population is living in rural area where as the same for Sambalpur district is 72.9%. The composition of male and female in appropriate proportion is a healthy sign of a society. In Sambalpur and Deogarh districts the female constitutes 49.22% and 49.51% of district total population. Scheduled castes and scheduled tribes are integral part of Indian society and need additional support due to their vulnerable nature. In the project influence districts the percentage of scheduled cast to total district population is 17% in Sambalpur and 15.4% in Deogarh. The same for scheduled tribe is 34.5% in Sambalpur district and 33.6% in Deogarh district. Table 4.1: Districts at a Glance Indicators Unit Census 2001 Districts Sambalpur Deogarh Area Sq.

The district is surrounded by Deogarh district in the east, Bargarh and Jharsuguda districts in the west, Sundergarh district in the north and Subarnpur and Angul districts in the South. The district forms a part of the Mahanadi River basin. The Mahanadi, the longest river of the state, entered into the district in the north western border, where the famous Hirakud Multipurpose Dam Project is built. According to the 2011 censusSambalpur district has a population of 1,044,410, roughly equal to the nation of Cyprus or the US state of Rhode Island.

Sambalpur has a sex ratio of 973 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 76.91 % The economy of Sambalpur District is basically dependent on agriculture and secondly on forests. Forests play an important role in the economy in terms of contribution to revenue, Domestic Product as well as dependence of people for livelihood. The people living adjacent to the reserved forests of Sambalpur Forest Division are heavily dependent on these forests. In the past Sambalpur has been a great center of diamond trade. Kendu leaf (DiospyrosMelanoxylon) is also produced in Sambalpur. Tendu leaf is one of the most important non-wood forest products of Sambalpur and is also called as green gold of Orissa. Lately industrialization has started in the district and the prime industries of power, alumina and steel have been established. The place is famous for its globally renowned textile bounded patterns and fabrics locally known as Baandha. Sambalpur is famous for its Hand loom textile works,popularly known as Sambalpuri Textile. It has earned international fame for its unique pattern, design and texture. Apart from textiles, Sambalpur has a rich tribal heritage and fabulous forestlands. It's a good place from which to explore the surrounding forests and spot, some of the rare species still roaming the area in one of the wild life sanctuaries, such as the well- known Badrama sanctuary. Sambalpur is also famous for Sambalpuri song and Sambalpuri dance. District Deogarh Deogarh District was newly created on 1.1.1994 being bifurcated from Sambalpur District. It is a Backward District domicile by ST people .As it is a industry less district the people solely depends upon Agriculture. The District comprises one Municipality, one Tahsil& three Blocks consisting of 774 villages .The area of the District is 2781.66sqkm with population 2,74,095 as per 2001 Census. District of Deogarh is situated in the Western region of the state having its Head Quarter at Deogarh. Deogarh is located between 21o 31' 53" N Latitude and 84o 43' 2" E Longitude. Deogarh Town is 90 km to the east of Sambalpur Town on N.H.-6. National Highway No.6 passes through the district acts as the main artery of inter-regional trade and other links.Among various biodiversity rich and ecologically balanced locations,"Pradhanpat" and "Kurudkut" waterfalls are with historical importance and with a salubrious atmosphere around them. Kurudkut is one of the earliest locations where hydroelectricity was generated in Asia though it is really hard to find the traces of such historical importance of those locations, thanks to the Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-4:Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Ingulence Area 4-26 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Project Impact Zone Every project has direct impact zone (DIZ) and indirect impact zone (IIZ). Direct impact zone from this project point of view has been considered the width of CoI (Corridor of Impact) i.e. 13 (6.5 each side from the existing centerline) m in urban/ semi-urban areas and 13 to 20 m in rural areas as per design requirement. Whereas one km corridor along the project road on both side have been considered as indirect impact zone. The area defined as the indirect impact zone/ project influence zone varies from project to project depending on the nature and development scale of the proposed development. The adverse impact of the proposed improvement shall be mostly limited to the direct impact zone. There are fifty eight revenue villages with many small & large habitations located within 1 km on both side of the project corridor. Out of 58, 39 revenue villages are locatedright on the project corridor and considered as direct affected and other 19 villages are located little far from the road alignment but within 1 km of project corridor and are considered as indirect affected zone. Census & SES details of these 58 villages are presented below. 4.5 HOUSE HOLD & POPULATION The data reveals in the below Table 4.2 that 7029 house holdsare in the Direct Impact Zone getting affected by the project.

Literacy level of target population is important from that fact that it will provide a basis to understand the affected populations’ education level and form a strong base for developing various training and skill development for the affected population. The data revealed that 55.61% of total population of affected villages is in illiterate category. About 44.39% populationof project affect villages are educatedwhich is much below in comparison to district 67.3% in Sambalpurand 60.4% in Deogarh. However, as per census 2001 there is large difference between the male and female literacy rates. Male rates in the project affected villages’ stands at 66.55% whereas female literacy rate is just 45.14%. Literacy rate of female in Project affected area 45.14% is also significantly low in comparison to district figures (55.5% in Sambalpur and 47.2% in Deogarh).

The analysis in the following section is based on the information which was collected during the sample survey in all likely affected villages by the project. The factor of surveyed data has been applied on village level of the project affected villages to get the desired information which is not available in the district hand book. 4.11.1 Income Levels There is no income related data available in the census or statistical records separately for the villages getting affected directly & indirectly by the project hence, to find out and understand the income level among the households living in the villages along the project corridor details has been collected as part of the SES sample survey and applied for all the village. The income level of the surveyed households has been grouped in four ranges from less than Rs. 2,000 per month to more than Rs. 10,000 per month. The data reveals that 64.36% population fall under the group having income up-to rupees 2,000, 21.78% in between rupees 2,000 to 5,000, 7.92% in between rupees 5,000 to 1,000 Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-4:Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Ingulence Area 4-29 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

This is even more crucial in the case of hilly and the region surrounded by the forests where people have to walk for long distance to access the basic infrastructure. The sample socioeconomic survey result along the project corridor is presented in Table 4.9. To know the status of existing public amenities in the affected villages, data of sample survey which was conducted by the consultant for 101 house hold is used and the factor is applied to all affected villages. The survey reveals that the availability of various infrastructures in the villages has improved over the years and improving by every passing year. The availability of infrastructure can be attributed to the fact that all the villages are on the NH 200 or nearby surrounding areas which is main arterial road for the region. Nonetheless, good infrastructure support is very vital to over development of the region. For majority of the respondents interviewed during sample survey the availability of various facilities is within one to two kilometer distance. For some of the respondents, facilities like hospital, post office and bank are in the range of 2 to 5 km and there are others for whom these facilities are available at a distance of more than five kilometer.

The information was collected by administering the census and socio-economic survey questionnaire to the Head of the Household preferably otherwise to other adult member of the Household. The outcome of this survey provided an insight to the socio-economic condition of these PAHs, their priorities, expectations and apprehensions. The objectives of the census survey were to prepare the list of the project affected households and also assess the extent of impacts. The survey was conducted by engaging a team of surveyors recruited locally. It was conducted amongst all the project affected households and business units within the corridor of impact. The socio- economic questionnaire was developed keeping in view the aims and objectives and baseline data needed for assessing the socio-economic conditions of project affected persons including vulnerable persons. The socio-economic questionnaire covered data generation on demography, education, occupation, sources of income, etc. Project road traverses through densely populated Riamalvillage from km 180.500 to km 183.00. Because of the public protest, no widening has been proposed at this location. Many efforts have been made by the consultant to conduct Censes and SES survey in this section but they were not allowed to do any survey workin this section by the local public. A total of 285 households comprising 1501 person are likely to be affected by the project out of which only 172 households could be surveyed. For Census & SES survey, total 131 private structures along with 281 land survey numbers (excluding Riamal village) have been identified all along the project road who are likely to be impacted by the proposed widening. After many efforts and information to local people only 108 households out of 131 structures affected households (refer annexure-8) and owners of 117 land survey numbers out of total 281 affected survey numbers were successfully enumerated by the Census & SES survey team (refer annexure 7). Many households owned more than one affected survey number therefore, 117 land survey numbers belong to 64 households only. The remaining 113 households could not be surveyed even after making repeated efforts because of non-availability of land owners in the respective villages at time of survey. An enquiry with panchayat and villagers reveals that unavailable 90 land owners have migrated out with their families and been staying in places like Sambalpur, Angul and Bhubaneswar, etc. Further, approximately 23 structures were either found to closed or refused to provide response to the survey. Therefore, the social impact assessment covers details of 172 households. Socio Economic profile of the 172 affected households that were available for survey are presented in sections below.The cut-off date for the eligibility of the entitlements for the non-titleholders is the date of commencement of the census survey 21st October 2011 for the project NH-200.Still photographs and videography done for all impacted structures Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-5:Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Affected Households/ Persons 5-33 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Whereas for the titleholders, the cut-off date for eligibility of the entitlements would be as per date of 3A notification of the NH Act. For those 90 land owner households who could not contacted at time of survey, as their impact is limited to loss of land, these households would be contacted by various notifications under the NH act, 1956 5.2 AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS Of the surveyed 172 households and OBC shares 62.79% of total affect households followed by ST15.70%, General 13.13%, and SC 8.14%. The composition of population shows that OBC constitutes majority of thesehouseholds followed by ST population.

In other words for every employed persons there is more than four unemployed dependent person. Among employed, 6.51% are employed throughout the year and remaining 12.03% are seasonal employed. The data reveals that employment status (18.54%) is very poor in the project affected households in comparison to state (38.8%) and district Sambalpur (45.00%) and Deogarh (46.1%). Poor employment status is one of the major causes of poor economic conditions of the PAH. Table 5.9: Employment Status of PAPs Employed S.

The number of total (219) in the below table is more than the number of surveyed households i.e. 172 reveals that many PAH are involved in more than one occupation. The survey result reveals that people are primarily engaged in Cultivation, Labor, Business, and Agriculture and Service sector. Around 7.56% &55.23% of households are engaged in agriculture & cultivation related sector; households engaged in labor works are 11.63%, households engaged in business are 43.02% and another9.88% household’s main occupation is service. Large number of households engaged in cultivation and business is not very surprising factor since the households surveyed are close to national highway and people having frontage to road has setup shop & small business for livelihood. Similarly, agriculture is the main source of income in the region. Details have been provided in Table 5.9a below. Table 5.9a: Occupation of likely affected households No. of In % (Of 172 Sl. no.

The income level of the surveyed households has been grouped in four ranges from less than Rs. 2,000 per month to more than Rs. 10,000 per month. In terms of percentage, 44.19% of affected households are having monthly income up to rupees 2000 or less, 37.21% households having income in between rupees 2,000 to 5,000 per month, 13.37% households having their income in between rupees 5000 to 10000 per month and only 5.23% households having income rupees 10,000 or above. The data reveals that just less than half of the PAPs are belongs to the category earning less than rupees 2,000 per month. The special attention has been given to these households and made a provision for assistance under BPL category in the R&R budget. The detail from the survey is presented in Table 5.10 below.

Majority of the habitations do not have livestock. This may also be due to the fact that this area is primarily drought prone and hence livestock rearing is not one of the preferred occupations of the area. Further, one of the reasons for poor livestock holding among project affected households can also be attributed to the involvement of majority of PAHs in business activities.

This is even more crucial in the case of hilly and forest region where people have to walk for long distance to access the basic infrastructure. The socioeconomic survey result along the project corridor is presented in Table 5.17. The survey reveals that the availability of various infrastructures in the villages has improved over the years and is improving by every passing year. The availability of infrastructure can be attributed to the fact that all the villages are on/neara National Highway (NH 200 )which is main arterial road for the region. Nonetheless, good infrastructure support is very vital for development of the region. For majority of the respondents interviewed the availability of various facilities is within one to two kilometer distance. For some of the respondents, facilities like hospital, post office and bank are in the range of 2 to 5km and there are others for whom these facilities are available at a distance of more than five kilometer. Details have been provided in Table 5.17 below. Table 5.17: Accessibility of basic infrastructure Sl. no.

There is no HIV/ AIDS case reported during survey and around 98% households indicated knowledge about HIV/AIDS. 5.11 Inference Possession of material assets, occupation and income level of the project affected household’sindicates poor social and economic condition. Role of women in decision making both at household and community level is negligible. Adverse impact of the project may cause further deterioration of their economic conditions, in absence of proper mitigation measures.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa CHAPTER-6: SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 6.1 INTRODUCTION Development projects generate not only positive impact/benefits but also some times adverse social impact in terms of loss of land assets, non-land assets and loss of livelihood especially on vulnerable sections of the society who are susceptible to socio-economic risks. Identification of such adverse impacts and developing appropriate mitigation measures during project planning, design and implementation is essential for achieving social sustainability of any project. In order to study these impacts, census & SES survey of the existing situation/conditions to know the real impact within the COI has been done. It is varying as per the design requirement. The magnitude and intensity of the impact due to the proposed project is discussed in Table 6.1 below. 6.2 Likely Positive Impacts Upgrading and strengthening of NH 200 will induce economic and social benefits to the people in the direct influence zone i.e., villages through which the project road traverses and indirect benefits to the districts and state. Upgrading of the project road will improve intra-state as well as inter-state (Orissa & Chhattisgarh) connectivity, and thereby facilitate faster transportation of bulk goods and services with less interruption at a lesser transport cost. It will provide impetus for economic development in the immediate surroundings and would also generate local employment. Furthermore, it will facilitate improved access to market centers, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and offices located in the districts. The cumulative likely positive impacts of the project will result in increased mobility, employment generation, and above all better economic integration of the area with the major market and trade centers within and outside the districts. 6.3 Minimizing Adverse Impacts As part of the project preparation, social screening survey was carried out by the consultant during January 2011. The study involved reconnaissance survey, identification of constraints along the road (congested locations, common property resources, Tribal populated areas and other social concerns), collection of RoW information, extent of adverse impacts on land, structures and other properties, etc. Social screening survey identified 581 structures and 16.14 ha of private land including Reamal bypass which was likely to be affected. Subsequently, the design was revised according to the discussion and deliberations from time to time with PCC, MORTH and the World Bank specialists. Site visits were also undertaken to explore possibility of alternatives and re-checking the ground conditions. As discussed and advised during the site visit of the World Bank experts, many changes has been made in the proposed alignment and subsequently, few proposed re-alignments and bypass at Riamalvillagehas been removed from the proposal.This helped in substantially reducing the impacts on the structures and land at detailed design stage. In fact, additional land requirement has been minimized to its possible level for upgrading the project road. Now, the impact has been reduced to 157 structures and only 5.46 hectareof land.A comparative statement of likely impacts on structures and land at screening stage and subsequent modifications of the design (Draft DPR stage) is presented in Table 6.1.

Concentric widening has been proposed at urban/ semi-urban areas, effort has been made to fix the proposed widening within the existing ROW. At some place, with the little adjustment/ reduction in the design speed the curves at km 141.147, 167.150, 169.776, 181.200 and 184.437have been adjusted within the available ROW or with very minimal land acquisition. After micro level study on ground, to minimize the land requirement at many locations, retaining walls have been proposed to keep embankment / formation within the COI. In urban/ sub-urban areas like Bhojpur (km 131.00. to 131.500), Rengalbeda (km 170.00 to km171.500) and Naulipada (km 186.700 to km 188.00) to minimizing the impact on structures, the available width in between the existing structures on both side of the project road, pavement in total width has been proposed and whereas, drainage has been proposed under footpath. To reduce the land acquisition in the forest areas, road width has been minimized to its possible level and in case where embankment height is high, retaining walls have also been proposed. Similarly, at locations where, there is forest at one side of the project road, widening has been proposed on the opposite site on the revenue land. During feasibility study, four bypass optionswere examined at Reamal(km 180.500 to km 183.00) village lengths varies from 1.5 km to 4.00kms requiring 4 hectare to 12 hectare of additional acquisition of fertile land owned by the local public. All the option were protested by the local public and demanded to follow the existing road alignment.Therefore, after discussion with MORTH and Social expert of the World Bank, proposal of bypass has been dropped and widening of existing road has been proposed without compromising standard and safety aspects. However, later on as Census and SES was not allowed to be conducted by the villagers in Reamal village, it was decide by the MORTH in consultation with the World Bank that in this portion the project road strengthening may be done without going in for widening. 6.4 Project Impacts The project impacts have been broadly classified as impacts on land, structures community property resources (religious structures, passenger shelters, etc), impacts on livelihood, etc. The adverse impacts of the project have been quantified based on the survey carried out at site as per the improvement plan. The corridor of impact varies from one point to another along the project stretch. The magnitude of the likely impacts because of the proposed upgrading of the project road is discussed below. 6.5 Likely loss of properties As per the social survey, as many as 157 existing properties will be affected within 13meters CoI 6.5meters (except few locations where COI is wider) each side from thecenterline of the existing carriageway).

At project planning stage the consultative process adopted ensures that the Project Affected Population (PAPs) and other stakeholders are informed, consulted, and allowed to participate actively in the process and proposals of local public has been considered during project preparation. At the feasibility stage of project preparation, consultation at individual level, in groups and focused group discussions were conducted at congested locations, intersections in major town, villages abutting project roads. Attentions were paid towards vulnerable settlements like tribal settlements or settlements in schedule areas, junctions with major highway (NH-6) to understand the project impact both positive and negative like awareness and transmission of HIV/AIDS. Outcome of these consultations like options of alternative alignments like detour-realignments, suggestions for the location of underpasses, road safety measures, requirement of community property resources etc. have been incorporated in the design, in order to minimize the resettlement & involve local people in decision making processes. 7.1.1 Consultation and Participation Public information and consultation was carried out during the project preparation stage in the form of public meeting, focus group discussion, in-depth interviews and individual consultations. The consultation process ensured that the likely project affected persons (PAPs), local community and other stakeholders were informed in advance, and allowed to participate actively and consulted. This serves to reduce the insecurity among local community and likely PAPs and thereby opposition to the project because of its transparent nature inbuilt in the consultation process. Thus, in the process of information dissemination, collecting relevant information and to acquaint with social requirements of the project, the government officials, key informants & knowledgeable person of the society and other stakeholders were consulted during environmental and social survey. At the time of public consultation the government and non-government official have taken keen interest and were pleased with the proposed project and supplied most of the relevant information. The respected and influential personalities of the likely affected communities were consulted in order to resolve all the disputed issues relating to removal of unauthorized encroachments, shifting of religious properties where people’s sentiments are involved and also to remove all kind of barriers pertaining to environmental social, political, historical, cultural and religious which may be obstacles in the way of project road widening. The local leaders were seen to be involved actively in the consultation meeting at the most of locations throughout the project road. Consultation with PAPs is the starting point to address involuntary resettlement issues concerning land acquisition and resettlement. People affected by resettlement may be apprehensive that they will lose their livelihoods and communities. Participation in planning and managing resettlement helps to reduce their fears and gives PAPs an opportunity to participate in key decisions that affect their lives. The first step in developing plans for consultation and participation is to identify the primary and secondary stakeholders. Information sharing is the first principle of participation.

During the Pallisabra project information along with quantum of land private as well as government/forest land with their respective survey numbers has been provided to the local public. It has also been informed that all the acquired land will be adequately compensated by the project proponent. With considering the project benefits and its role in the development of the region, the proposed project was appreciated by the local public and resolution for land acquisition and diversion of forest were unanimously passed by the respective Pally Sabah. Copy of the resolutions is attached as annexure-11. For the diversion of Forest land,PalliSabah under the FRA Act 2006 has also been conducted in all 43 projects affected villages of the district Sambalpur and Deogarh. During these PalliSabah’s, local public has mainly demanded for the adequate arrangement of re-plantation of trees towards the compensation of cutting and felling of existing trees due to the proposed widening. PalliSabah has been informed that the felled trees will be adequately compensated as per the latest Forest Act like re-plantation of trees in the ratio of 1=2. This exercise will be done on the Forest Land or other Government landwhich will be identified by the revenue department and it will not trigger any secondary impact/displacement. In the interest of the project and considering its positive impact on the region development, the resolutions were unanimously passed by the respective PalliSabahs referred to annexure-11. 7.3 PROJECT STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS Stakeholder analysis seeks to identify all persons, institutions, etc. involved in a project, in addition to the target group and the implementing agency, and speculates on their expected support or opposition to the program. This analysis is used at the preliminary stages of a project in order to incorporate interests and expectations of persons and groups significant to a project or program. Organizations and authorities at different levels and interest groups have different motives and interests. It is of fundamental importance to analyze these interests and expectations both early on in the planning process and later again during the implementation of the project or program. A fundamental requirement of all development projects is that the objectives reflect the Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-7:Public Information and Consultations 7-54 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa needs of the society and the interest groups, and not merely the internal needs of institutions. All parties should be listed which are likely to be affected by the development, both positively and negatively, directly or indirectly. The procedure used in the stakeholders’ analysis approach for project Bhojpur to Chhatabar section of project is as follows: 1. Noting all the names of interest groups, institutions, individuals, organizations, authorities, those are concerned in any way with the project, located in the region, holding influential position and may be affected by the problems addressed in the program. Based on this analysis the following stakeholders’ have been identified as key partners in the development process. • Heads of the HHs likely to be impacted & HH members • Clusters of PAPs • Villagers & Village Panchayat members • Local voluntary bodies • Local government and other line departments • Other Project stakeholders’ viz., tribal communities, road users, health professional, etc. 2. Grouping of parties involved into type of organization; i.e., individual, organizations, government, etc. to facilitate discussion and analysis. 3. Selecting the most important; i.e., those expected to have particularly strong influence over the project and cannot be ignored and analyze these groups were done according to: a) Characteristics: social (members, social background, religion, cultural aspects), status of the group (formal, informal, other) and structure (organization, leaders, etc.). b) The main problems affecting or facing the group (economic, ecological, cultural, etc.). c) The main needs and wishes, interests (openly expressed, hidden, vested), motives (hopes, expectations, fears), and attitudes (friendly/neutral/hostile towards implementation agencies and others) as seen from the group’s point of view. d) The potential in terms of both strengths (resources) and weaknesses of the group, and what could the group contribute or withhold from the project e) The linkages indicating main conflicts of interests, patterns of cooperation or dependency with other groups. 4. Finally, It was decided • Whose interests and views are to be given priority in addressing problems? • Which are the groups most in need of external assistance? • Which interest groups should be supported in order to ensure positive development? • What conflicts would occur and what measures can be taken to avoid such conflicts?

The following methodology has been adopted for carrying out public consultations in this project: • Disseminating information and requesting villagers to attend the public consultation meetings • Sharing the opinions and preferences of the PAPs • Involving the PAPs in decision-making including RAP implementation 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 community and the affected households, 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 vulnerable groups. The key informants during the project preparation phase included both individuals and groups namely: • Heads and members of households likely to be affected • Groups/clusters of PAPs • Village Panchayats, Sarpanch and members • Local voluntary organizations and NGOs • Government agencies and departments such as local revenue authority Other project stakeholders with special focus on PAPs belonging to the vulnerable group 7.6 MAJOR FINDINGS FROM CONSULTATION Major findings related to key issues such as: land acquisition, compensations for land and structures, alternative alignments, underpasses, general perception about the project, suggestions to mitigate hardships resulting from dislocation and loss of livelihood, resettlement options, perception about HIV/AIDS awareness, CPR requirement etc. are presented with highlights of important consultations are mentioned in Table 7.4 below. However consultation has been done at difference locations at different levels and continued to all project stretch.Signatures and photos of the consultations enclosed as annexure 12 to annexure 18. Information collected during consultation has been shared with environmental and technical team. Suggestion obtained from people and their representatives have been analyzed based on technical and economic merits.

They perceived low business growth at new locations • PAPs wanted to know when construction work would commence • Affected People asked about creation of employment opportunities during road construction and later phases of the project for them Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-7:Public Information and Consultations 7-60 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa • People suggested that adequate safety measures should be provided such as speed breaks, signage’s etc. near inhabited areas, school and hospitals (referred annexure- 20 for detail of location) • Bypass should be avoided and widening should be done in the existing alignment, even when they were made aware that there would be major demolition of structure in the congested village portions of Riamal, Telimunda and Bhitarpad etc. Based on the finding of the consultation with the various stakeholders and especially with the people living along the project corridor,the various minimization options has been worked out to reduce the loss of assets and livelihood of the people in project impact zone. The consultation process wascontinued during the detail design period to minimize the adverse impact to its minimum level and involve people’s concern. The follow up public meeting was held on 09th June-2011 in presence of Executive Engineer Deogarh and Jharsuguda, ReamalTehsildar, Land Acquisition officer (NH Orissa) and local public and their representative in Riamal. All 4 bypass alternative options (referred to annexure-19) were elaborate and discussed in detail during that meeting. However, the local population vehemently opposed the idea of realignment or bypass at Riamal. Hence, it has been decided that the existing alignment shall be followed with all necessary improvement requirements. The same has been conveyed to the Nodal Office (Bhubaneswar) and MORTH in writing by the Executive Engineer, Deogarh. 7.7.1 Disclosure and Framework for Continued Consultation Information Disclosure: The Right to Information Act, 2005 provides for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa CHAPTER-8: RESETTLEMENT & REHABILITATION LEGAL FRAMEWORK 8.1 INTRODUCTION For the proposed development of NH 200 from km 131.00 to 192.00 the available ROW is marginally less to accommodate the proposed widening, and therefore land acquisition is required. The project will make some significant improvements such as: up-gradationfrom existing two/intermediate lane to two lanes without paved shoulder, improvement of geometric deficiencies from traffic safety point of view, provision of truck laybys, bus stops and bus bays etc. which will require additional land to accommodate these improvements. The acquisition of land for public purpose has to be done through various legal options available under the law of the land. It is important to understand the requirements of these Acts and policies since these acts will have impact on project from the availability of land for the project. Applicable acts, notifications and policies relevant in the context of the project are discussed below. The Project Authority (MORTH) will ensure that project activities implemented are consistent with the national, state, local regulatory/legal framework. Sl.

Thus both title holders and non-title holders alike would be affected as a consequence of the project. 7 OP 4.10 – It has been found that Indigenous/ Tribal people Applicable Indigenous Peoples would also be affected in some of the projects whereas in some other projects though tribal people would not be directly affected but are within the immediate influence zone of the projects. 8 The Right to The Act provides for setting out the practical regime Applicable Information Act, of right to information for citizens to secure access to 2005 information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. 9 World Bank Policy The World Bank Policy on Access to Information Applicable – Access to ensures that information is made available to the Information public. As per the policy, public can get information about projects under preparation, projects under implementation, analytic and advisory activities, and Board proceedings. 8.2 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF APPLICABLE POLICY Both the National Policy and the World Bank guidelines on rehabilitation and resettlement aim to see that involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized, wherever feasible, exploring all viable alternative project designs, and where displacement is unavoidable, people losing assets, livelihood or other resources shall be assisted in improving or at a minimum regaining their former status of living at no cost to themselves. Similarly, National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy 2007 recognize the need for rehabilitation and resettlement benefits for project affected households belonging to Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes separately. One of the important provisions of PESA Act is that the Gram Sabah or the Panchayat at the appropriate level shall be consulted before making the acquisition of land in the Scheduled Areas for development projects. The World Bank OP 4.10 emphasizes “a process of free, prior, and informed consultation with the affected Indigenous People’s communities at each stage of the project, and particularly during project preparation, to fully identify their views and ascertain their broad community support for the project. Based on the detailed comparative analysis of the above discussed applicable legal and policy framework, major differences identified between these policies that are addressed under the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is listed below: 1. Recognition of non-titleholders who have no recognizable legal right to the land they are occupying and extending R&R benefits under the project; 2. Establishment of cut-off date to identify the non-titleholders in the project; 3. Compensation at full replacement cost to replace the lost and other assets; Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-8:Resettlement & Rehabilitation Legal Framework 8-65 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Need for preparation of Social Impact assessment (SIA), Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and Tribal Development Plan TDP) as per project requirements. 8.3 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE This Framework has been formulated to lay 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. This Framework shall apply to all project roads under NHIIP whether partly or fully funded by World Bank during the entire period of loan assistance. Overall objective of this Framework is to guide the preparation and implementation of NHIIP based on the following principles:  Take due precautions to minimize disturbance to human habitations, tribal areas and places of cultural significance.  Take due care of Project Affected People (PAP).  Involve affected people from inception stage to operation and maintenance.  Consult affected people in issues of ROWs, land acquisition or loss of livelihood  Encourage consultation with communities in identifying environmental and social implications of projects.  Pay special attention to marginalized and vulnerable groups and secure their inclusion in overall public participation.  Guarantee entitlements and compensation to affected people as per its R&R policy.  Share information with local communities about environmental and social implications. 8.4 RESETTLEMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK RPF for the NHIIP(National Highway Interconnectivity Improvement Programme) has been prepared based on the findings of Social Survey Report (SSR) covering initial impact assessment and review of applicable legal and policy framework discussed above. In order to address the adverse impacts of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, MORTH, Govt. of India recognised 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, 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 to agree on a mechanism that will address the key social issues and to 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 to expedite the process and to facilitate consistent preparation of RAPs and TDPs across all project roads in different states. The purpose of preparing a RPF is to: a) Bring commonality in resettlement and rehabilitation benefits under the project. b) Bridge the gap between Bank’s policy on Involuntary Resettlement and NRRP 2007.

The MORTH recognizes the importance of this and hence intends to establish a SCHM for the NHIIP. Though 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 except the State of Jammu and Kashmir. 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 Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-12:Grievance Procedures 10-85 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa 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. Therefore, MORTH has agreed to establish SCHM as a good practice to address public concerns pertaining to various issues. 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. Details of SCHM are provided below. The design of NHIIP is complex and its geographical scale is immense, and the project is expected to have a wide array of enquiries, comments, suggestions as well as face some operational risks. MORTH is working to establish a sound Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism (SCHM) for NHIIP to address and handle external and internal inquiries, suggestions and comments, and concerns/complaints/ grievances as well as improve accountability and service delivery under NHIIP. 10.2.1 SCHM Users The users of SCHM could be anyone from the project stakeholders, including civil servants (from MORTH, State PWDs, or from other State Departments) contractors, consultants, project affected people (communities), road users, CSOs/NGOs, any other public, who realizes either impact from or relation to the concerned project. 10.2.2 Management of SCHM The overall responsibility for the operation and management of NHIIP’s SCHM will rest with the EAP MORTH. The NHIIP’s SCHM will be handled at two levels: at the State’s and MORTH’s level. Since all pre-construction and civil works will be implemented and managed by the States, all enquiries, suggestions and complaints related to a specific road will be submitted to the concerned implementing agency at the State Level. Each PIU at the State level is to set up a toll free number and/or email account for the project stakeholders and general public to submit their enquiries, suggestions and complaints. The toll free number and email account are to be displayed at the sign boards at the start and end of each project road. The bidding documents will have a requirement for the contractor to put in place signs at the start and end of the project road which will display the toll free number and email account to submit enquiries, suggestions and complaints to the concerned implementing government agency. The EAPhead will be in charge of assigning the responsible person/entity to address and handle enquiry, suggestion or complaint submitted at the MORTH’s level. However, within his team he will assign an officer (engineer) who will be responsible for coordinating inquiries/comments and complaints/ concerns/grievances. His responsibilities will include: • To respond to as many inquiries/comments as possible • To receive and sort concerns/grievances Final DPR, Volume V: RAP,Chapter-12:Grievance Procedures 10-86 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa CHAPTER-12: TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 12.1 INTRODUCTION The census surveys and consultation with specific groups including tribal along the project stretches identified some tribal issues that need to be addressed under the project. Constitution of India has provided base for the government to formulate special programs for the development of these vulnerable groups. Typically, vulnerability is relatively high among Scheduled tribes/indigenous people. Dislocation and loss of livelihood caused by road widening and development may further aggravate the disadvantaged condition unless special attention is paid to them. In this connection an assessment of impacts specifically on Scheduled Tribes (ST) has been done during the social assessment. This chapter discusses the issues/impacts likely to be caused due to proposed project interventions and actions necessary to mitigate the impact. 12.1.1 Tribal Development Framework The objective is to design and implement projects in a way that fosters full respect for Indigenous Peoples’ dignity, human rights, and cultural uniqueness and so that they: (a) receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits; and (b) do not suffer adverse effects during the development process. The term “Indigenous Peoples 2” is used in a generic sense to refer to a distinct, vulnerable, social and cultural group possessing the following characteristics in varying degrees: (a) self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this identity by others; (b) collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and to the natural resources in these habitats and territories7 (c) customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those of the dominant society and culture; and (d) an indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region. The provisions of the Panchayat (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 lays down schedule to be followed for acquisition of land in Scheduled V Areas. The Act under sub-section (1) of Section 4 provides for mandatory consultation with the Gram Sabah before any land acquisition proceedings can be undertaken. It further states that all Gram Sabah in which even if one person is affected by the proposed project would have to be consulted before acquisition proceedings are initiated, by the procedure prescribed. The World Bank OP 4.10 emphasizes “a process of free, prior, and informed consultation with the affected Indigenous People’s communities at each stage of the project, and particularly during project preparation, to fully identify their views and ascertain their broad community support for the project. Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-14:Tribal Impact Mitigation and Development Strategy 12-90 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa NHIIP shall avoid such areas to the extent possible. Where unavoidable, it will consult the concerned Gram Sabah / Panchayat for obtaining their consent as per the provisions of the Act and OP4.10. As mentioned earlier, the social screening survey identified adverse impacts on tribal people (Indigenous Peoples), though at a lower scale in certain project roads in Orissa and Rajasthan. Land acquisition is involved in some sections of sub-projects falling in Scheduled V Areas of Orissa and Rajasthan and hence provisions of PESA, 1996 will be applicable. Tribal Development Plan/Strategy (TDP) is provided below 12.1.2 Need for Strategies for Tribal Development and Requirement of Government of Orissa R&R Policy The Orissa R&R Policy 2006 has special provisions for ST affected population and these include the following aspects: • Objective of the policy (section 4) emphasizes on recognizing the voices of people especially, indigenous communities and vulnerable sections. • Para (g) under section 5 mandates - consultation with gram-Sabah for resettlement planning in Scheduled area. • Section (8) explains about addressing specific issues of indigenous communities • Preferential allotment of shops (Type (II) (item g) to displaced ST households. • Type III (item d) provides 5 acres of un-irrigated and 2.5 acres of irrigated land to displaced ST households and the project will bear the registration cost for the plotted land. • Section 13 of the policy includes special benefits to displaced indigenous households including the socio-cultural requirements in developing resettlement plans, preferential allotment of alternate land and 25% higher R&R benefits in case displaced households resettled outside the district. Based on above-mentioned provision to safeguard negative impact on Scheduled Tribes a strategy is formulated in following section. 12.1.3 Issues/ Concerns of Tribal Communities The detailed informed consultations, through FGDs and village meetings in tribal areas, revealed the following issues related to tribal people in the project area. In order to have a more focused tribal development strategy, these issues have been grouped into (i) issues that are directly related to the project development for which measures will have to be taken up under the project to address them and (ii) issues which are outside the scope of the project but institutional collaboration could help the tribal in their development. These have been listed below: Issues related directly to the development of the project • Loss of Agriculture Income • Loss of employment of daily Wagers in shops and eating places along the road • Loss of Shelter • Lack of effective Consultation • Loss of community facilities Other Issues: Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-14:Tribal Impact Mitigation and Development Strategy 12-91 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa • Low level of Agriculture Productivity • Lack of employment opportunities • Low income levels • Poor Health • Low level of education • High levels of debt 12.1.4 Tribal Development Strategy Taking into account various safeguards and development programs available to tribal communities as well as the provisions of ORRP 2006, the tribal development strategy has been developed (in chapter-14) to ensure that any adverse impacts due to the project development are addressed adequately and that measures are taken to ensure that tribal communities and the project area benefit from the project at par with other. Though the proposed project intervention would not have direct adverse impact on tribal in larger extent, it is observed that there will be minor impact on these tribal populations. There will be loss of livelihood and shelter of Scheduled Tribe in selected stretches. Therefore specific strategies based on type of loss and nature and magnitude of impact on tribal have been formulated for those who are directly impacted and a general strategies associated with tribal backwardness is also prepared.. 12.2 STATUS OF SCHEDULE TRIBES IN THE PROJECT AREA State Orissa Orissa has large tribal population, who are at various stages of socio-economic development. At one extreme are the groups which lead a relatively secluded and archaic mode of life keeping their core culture intact, while at the other extreme there are communities which are indistinguishable from the general agricultural communities. The tribal people express their cultural identity and distinctiveness in their social organization, language, rituals and festivals and also in their dress, ornaments, art and craft. Overall, the state of Orissa ranks third in terms of tribal population in India. They constituted 10.84% of the total tribal population of India as per 2001 census. Orissa houses 62 types of tribes, of which 13 are primitive. The State has one of the richest diverse tribal populations in the country. Sizable agglomeration of tribal population in Orissa has moved to mining, industrial and urban areas for earning a secured living through wage-laborer. During the past three decades the process of industrial urbanization in the tribal belt of Orissa has been accelerated through the operation of mines and establishment of industries. Mostly persons from advanced tribal communities, such as Santhal, Munda, Ho, Oraon, Kisan, Gond etc. have taken to this economic pursuit in order to relieve pressure from their limited land and other resources. 12.2.1 District Sambalpur Project road traverses through Jamankira Tehsil of Sambalpur district from km 131.00 to km 147.00. Tehsil Jamankira of district Sambalpur is listed in Schedule V of constitution of India. The district population is constituted by 34.5 percent of Scheduled Tribes. The major tribes enumerated in the district are Kisan (27.8%), Munda etc.(17.5%) and Gond etc.(17.1%) among the total tribal population of the district. Similarly, the castes having Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-14:Tribal Impact Mitigation and Development Strategy 12-92 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa highest population are Ganda (40.7 percent), Pan Pano(12.2 percent) and Dewar (10.8) considering the total scheduled caste population. 12.2.2 District Deogarh Project road traverses through Deogarh and Riamal Tehsil of Deogarh district from km 147.00 to km 192.00. District Deogarh is not included in Schedule V of constitution of India. However, there is ST population all along the project road. Schedule Tribe population constitute 33.6% of the total population of the district. 12.2.3 Direct Impact Zone Most tribes tend to follow a clan based land tenure system which provides customaryrights in land, trees, forests etc. Tribes like Kondhs, saoras,Parojas, Gadabas, Bondos, Juangs and Bhuiyans traditionally carry out shifting cultivation along with paddy in valley lands. Most tribes broadly cultivated four types of land – valley bottom paddy lands or wetlands, homesteads/backyards, uplands and shifting cultivation fields. Schedule Tribe constitutes a significant 31.18% of the total population of project affected villages. The tribal in the project affected villages have got assimilated with the main stream population of the area as a consequence they display both their traditional as well as acquired social and cultural identity. In the project affected villages majority of Tribes have adopted the culture and life style of the main stream population. Therefore, it is very difficult to distinguish them on the basis of their culture and life style. Out of total 172 (108 Structure &64 Land) project affected households surveyed during Census and SES identified 27 Schedule Tribe households, out of that 8 Schedule Tribe households are getting affected by the way of impact on structures and rest 19households by land acquisition. 12.3 METHODOLOGY USED TO ASSESS TRIBAL ISSUES Structured questionnaires, open-ended formats, group discussion during preparation of Village Diary etc. were used to assess the impact. The data collected through socio- economic survey and census survey was another source of information for social assessment of tribes. Consultation Methodology: consultations was carried out with the likely affected tribal population in a culturally appropriate manner using local languages where needed. It took place in different modes – one on one interaction during household survey and group meetings along with other PAPs. Most of the village level consultations were carried out during the social screening and detailed Social Impact assessment between September 2010 to March 2012 and these were in addition to the focus group discussions and interviews with individual ST affected households. All of these consultations were pre prior, and informed to the affected tribal people. During specific consultation, issues like relocation, options and preferences in relocation, compensation, assistance and income generation strategies like requirement of training to enhance the individual skills etc. were discussed. 12.3.1 Palli (Gram) Sabah under PESA 1996 & Forest Right Act 2006 Project road traverses through Jamankira Tehsil, of Sambalpur District from km 131.00 to 147.00 and District Deogarh from km 147.00 to km 192.00.

The required Gram Sabah has been conducted in all these project affected villages of Sambalpur district under PESA (PunchayatExtension in Schedule Areas) Act 1996 and acquired the required resolution for the proposed project. Whereas, district Deogarh is not listed under the Schedule V but schedule tribe population constitute a significant percentage of the total population of the district. Similarly, Gram Sabah’s has been conducted under FRA 2006 in all the project affected villages of Deogarh district where any forest land is getting affected by the proposed project. During these Gram Sabah, an especial attention was given on the tribal issues and there mitigations. List of villages where Gram Sabahs has been conducted is provided in annexure-11. 12.3.2 Specific Gram Sabahs in Tribal Villages A special Gram Sabahs has been organized in the 4 villages along with Block Development officer and NGO in the villages on 12 and 13th May 2012 to understand the type and nature of support required to enhance the economic and social status of Schedule Tribe population in the project affected area refer annexure-12. During the above meeting and discussion the following demands/ suggestion have been received from the Tribal community of the villages. The following training can be organized by the NGOs in the affected villages to develop the ST community with close coordination with local administration. Appropriate budgetprovision has been made for the proposed trainings.

Out of 285affected households, SES & Census survey could only be conducted for 172households, rest 113households(mainly Land Owners) were either not available during the survey or refused to give data to the survey enumerators. There for analysis in below table has been done on the basis of 172households. The survey data reveals that out of 172 project affected households for which Census & SES survey has been done, 27households belong to Schedule Tribes. Similarly, out of 27 ST households, 8 households are likely to be affected by the impact on structures and rest 19 by the proposed Land Acquisition. The ST households constitute 18.59% of the project affected households in PIA. Details of estimated project affected ST household have been provided in table 14.2 below.

During the survey of 172 project affected households, it has been reported that out of 906 affected populations, 139 persons are belonging to Tribal households. On the basis of surveyed households, it has been estimated that out of 1639 project affected population, 301 belong to Schedule Tribe PAPs. The ST PAPs constitutes 18.36% of the project affected population in PIA which is very similar to the percentage of affected ST households i.e. 18.59% of the total affected households by the project.

The tribal have extended their support to the project given that the potential negative impacts and risks are properly mitigated or managed, as outlined in this chapter. It is also highly recommended that the tribal are regularly consulted at different stages of project implementation. All communication and information dissemination in the project area shall be done in the culturally appropriate way. 12.7 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS The service of RAP and TDP Implementation Agency will be required for 2 years during implement of RAP. It is recommended to give 10% weightage to the RAP and TDP Implementation Agency native to the region for implementation of RAP at the time of hiring. The weightage mechanism has been further elaborated in the TOR for hiring RAP and TDP Implementation Agency as annexure-2. In case the RAP and TDP Implementation Agencythat is selected happens to be from outside the region, it would be ensured to include representation from the project area in the team of field professionals. This is to ensure that the RAP and TDP Implementation Agencyis sensitive to the socio cultural profile and practices of the project area, particularly scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa CHAPTER-13: IMPACT ON WOMEN AND OTHER VULNERABLE GROUPS 13.1 INTRODUCTION The socio economic profile of the PIA and Project affected households reveal significant gender gap in literacy, work force participation and access to basic infrastructure. Low awareness level coupled with insignificant role in decision making at household and community level further poses constraints for women and other vulnerable groups to access the opportunities created by the project equitably. Like in many other infrastructure projects, this project is also likely to have differential impact on women and other vulnerable groups. Due to disturbance in production systems, reduction in assets like land and livestock, women and marginalized vulnerable groups may have to face additional challenge of running a household on limited income and resources. This may force women as well as children to participate in involuntary work to supplement household income, which may also lead to deteriorate social capital/network of women and men alike hence making them more vulnerable to both social and environmental hazards. It is therefore important to assess status of project affected women and other vulnerable groups, their potential impacts, and accordingly, design an appropriate strategy/plan. 13.2 WOMEN HEADED HOUSEHOLDS The data collected during Census and SES survey of 172 project affected households revealed that a total of 424female members which constituted 46.74% of the total affected population. Whereas, no women headed household has been reported in all 172 surveyed household, however the same will be verified by the RAP and TDP implementation agency during implementation 13.2.1 Demographic and other key characteristic of affected women The figures are mainly based on the Census & SES survey conducted for 172 households out of 285 estimated affected households. During the survey gender specific data was collected on age, literacy, marital status, caste, and household type of the affected households. The data shows that a majority of affected women are in the age group of 18-25 years (36.2%) and 25-40 years (33.10%). The third largest group is in 41-60 years age group (24.50%). Percentage of older women above the age of 60 is about 6.20 percent.

A significant 18.6% of women’s of affected households are engaged in community and panchayat level activities present the cultural change towards women empowerment in the PIA. It is also indicate how government policies can change the community attitude towards women. At many places government has reserved the panchayatseats for women to increase women participation in the community and economic development of the region.Similarly, survey data reveals that 18.02% of women’s are engaged in cultivation, 6.4 are helping their households in trade and business followed by service 6.4%.Still, most of the women are restricted to the household chores only. As the study revealed, women are largely engaged in household work ranging from collecting potable water, cooking and child rearing by helping the male members either in running their petty shops or in agriculture field. Such low percentage of working women may be because of traditional values attached to the women's movement outside the households. Majority of the women are unemployed as reflected in the occupation pattern table in table below. Most of the time these women spent in looking after children, household work, cooking, taking care domestic animals etc. which are not considered to have tangible economic value, hence a large number of women are categorized as unemployed.

The factors considered are education of children, health care, purchase of assets, social function etc. Analysis of data revealed that issues related to financial matters are decided primarily by males in around 86 households and jointly by man & women around 67 households. Also when decisions regarding purchase of assets are made they are taken primarily by males in 84 HHs (52.83%). Land and property related decisions are taken by men in all the households. Decisions related to education of child and healthcare of children are taken primarily jointly by both women and men. Women say alone in all the matters is very limited almost negligible.

One of the evidences of such marginalization is that no women representative participated while conducting community consultation. Nevertheless, based group consultations, following possible gender impacts were anticipated during the project. • There will be likelihood of many people coming to the area due to construction work which will lead to an increased interaction with the host communities for various purposes (e.g. work opportunities, Dhabaetc). Similarly, the project will increase the number of vehicles that will be plying on the road which will lead to the host community including women to be exposed to outsiders beyond their local communities. This may increase the likelihood of high risk behaviors which will expose them to the risk of HIV/AIDs and other STDs. • Women concerned that they may lose easy access of common property resources (CPRs) such as hand pumps, bus, stops, water lines, etc. Concerns related to water lines was more prominent at Junanni village where the main source of water to the village was across the road and it was the demand of the local people to realign the water line to the other sides. They were also apprehensive about becoming marginalized in case of a major impact on their commercial structures. The women expressed the concerns of getting adequate compensation for their loss. • Women were also concerned about the high risk accidents due to increased traffic speeds and volumes of heavy vehicular traffics that is likely happen after the construction. Consultations process also revealed the concerns of the elders in the group of their younger females being exposed to the external populations coming in the area. 13.5 IMPACT MITIGATION STRATEGY/PLAN Two key issues are obvious here – differential impact to women, and their overall socio- economic conditions. To help address both of these issues, following provisions are made in this project.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa 13.5.1 Women involvement in development process Participation of women has been envisaged specifically in the following areas: • participation from women in the consultation process is a must. The RAP and TDP Implementation Agency will make sure that adequate percentage of project affected women is consulted in all stages of the project cycle. • Field team of the RAP and TDP Implementation Agency shall include at least- one women investigator/facilitator. • Compensation for land and assets lost being same for all the affected or displaced households, women headed households shall be provided adequate attention and counseling by the RAP and TDP Implementation Agency during RAP implementation. • It is imperative that the PWD ensures that the women are consulted and invited to participate in group-based activities, to gain access and control over the resource as a part of the RAP • The RAP and TDP Implementation Agency should make sure that women are actually taking part in LA&R&R processes such as issuance of identity cards, opening accounts in the bank, receiving compensation amounts through cheque in their name or not, etc. This will further widen the perspective of participation by the women in the project implementation. • Under the entitlement framework there are a number of provisions kept for compensation and assistances towards the losses incurred upon the impacted women headed households by the project. • The assistances to be provided to women as a vulnerable group should create alternative livelihood for them to ensure their sustainable socio-economic uplift. • The implementing agencies should provide trainings for upgrading the skill in the alternative livelihoods and assist throughout till the beneficiaries start up with production and business. • Women's participation should be initiated through Self-Help Group formation in each of the villages affected by the project. These groups should then be linked to special development schemes of the Government, like DWCRA. • Women's participation should be ensured for monitoring and evaluation activities. Some provisions have been kept for women headed households in case of any women headed household will be found in 113 non-enumerated households those could not be interviewed during census survey Monitoring of project inputs concerning benefit to women should invite their participation that will make the process more transparent to them. Women should be encouraged to evaluate the project outputs from their point of view and their useful suggestions should be noted for taking necessary actions for further modifications in the project creating better and congenial situation for increasing participation from women. 13.5.2 Involvement of women in construction activities The laborer force required for the construction activities will be mostly of high-skill nature since a lot of machine work will be involved in the construction of the highway. But there will be requirement of unskilled laborer where women may likely to involve in such work. Women as household members of the skilled and semi-skilled laborers will also stay in the construction camps and will be indirectly involved during the construction phase. The households of laborers will include their children also. The construction contractors are expected to bring along Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-15:Impact on Women and other Vulnerable Groups 13-108 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa their laborer force. Thus, in most cases the laborers, both male and female, will be migratory laborers. But, the involvement of local laborer force, especially for unskilled activities cannot be fully ruled out. There will be involvement of local women also in the local laborer force. Foreseeing the involvement of women both directly and indirectly in the construction activities, certain measures are required to be token towards welfare and wellbeing of women and children in-particular during the construction phase. 13.6 SPECIAL PROVISION FOR WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION CAMPTEMPORARY OUSING Households of laborers /workers should be provided suitable accommodation during the construction work phase at laborer camp site. The size of the room suitably shall be as per the standard. In case of non-availability of standards, a design for the same will be prepared by the contractor. The design will be duly approved by the CSC. Rooms for such households will be constructed as per the approved design. 13.6.1 Health Centre Health problems of the workers should be taken care of by providing basic health-care' facilities through health centers temporarily set up for the construction camp. The health Centre should have at least a visiting doctor, nurses, general duty staff, free medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases, linkage with nearest higher order hospital to refer patients of major illnesses and critical cases. The health Centre should have MCW (Mother and Child Welfare) units for treating mothers and children in the camp. Apart from this, the health Centre should provide with regular vaccinations required for children. 13.6.2 Day Crèche Facilities It is expected that among the women workers there will be mothers with infants and small children at the construction site. Provision of a day crèche may solve the problems of such women who can leave behind their children in such crèche and work for the day in the construction activities. The crèche should be provided with at least a trained ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) worker with 'ayahs' to look after the children. The ICDS worker, preferably women, may take care of the children in a better way and can manage to provide nutritional food (as prescribed in ICDS and provided free of cost by the government) to them. In cases of emergency, she, being trained, can tackle the health problems of the children and can organize treatment linking the nearest health center. 13.6.3 Proper Scheduling of Construction Works Owing to the demand of a fast construction work it is expected that a 24 hours- long work schedule would be in operation. Women should be exempted from night shifts as far as possible. 13.6.4 Education Facilities The construction workers are mainly mobile groups of people. They are found to move from one place to another taking along their households with them. Thus there is a need for educating their children at the place of their work. For this, access to primary schools at least should be ensured for these children. Wherever feasible, day crèche facilities could be extended with primary educational facilities.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa 13.6.5 Special Measures for Controlling STD and AIDS Solitary adult males usually dominate the laborer force of construction camps. They play a significant role in spreading sexually transmitted diseases. In the construction camps as well as in the neighboring areas they are found to indulge in physical relations with different women. This unhealthy sexual behavior gives rise to STDs and AIDS. While it is difficult to stop such activities, it is wise to make provisions for means of controlling the spread of such diseases. Awareness camps for the target people, both in the construction camp and neighboring villages as well, and supply of condoms at concession rate to the male workers may help to a large extent in this respect for controlling the deadly disease. The Civil Works Contractor shall be responsible for the above interventions to the maximum extent possible and suitable provisions in this regard are incorporated in the bid document. 13.6.6 Women as Managers in the NGOs The services of NGOs will be procured to implement the RAP. It is proposed that the quality to be considered and/or selected for such contracts, the NGOs must fulfill the following conditions. • That the NGOs must propose at least one woman as part of the key personnel. The proposed women key person shall be available to work at site for at least 50% of the duration of the contract. • That the women key persons, if selected for the contract, may be replaced during the period of contract, only with women key persons of equivalent qualifications and experience. • That the NGOs will depute a 'technical/sub-professional' team to work at the site, which will consist at least 33% of women members. Junior support personnel and administrative staff will not be considered as technical/professional. 13.6.7 Women as Members of the Consultant Teams for RAP evaluation It is proposed that the following studies will be undertaken over the course of the project: • Midterm and end of the project Evaluation of the RAP component of the project. It will be ensured that the consulting firm(s) recruited to carry out these evaluation assignments have at least one woman member as part of the technical team. 13.6.8 Vulnerable House holds Out of total 285 affected households,126 vulnerable households are estimated that may be impacted due to this project. They may be further classified into economic and social vulnerability. 58 BPL HHs are economically vulnerable while the remaining68 HHs is socially vulnerable. These may be further divided into the following sub heads: 45&23HHs that is vulnerable on account of belonging to both Schedule Tribe and Schedule Cast category.

The considerations therein have been compiled as follows: • All the affected households falling under the vulnerable category including the BPL will be assisted to uplift their economic status irrespective of their ownership status. Whether they possess or do not possess legal title to the lands/assets, whether they are tenants or encroachers or squatters, they will be assisted in restoring their livelihoods as per the entitlement matrix. • If the type of loss is agricultural land and assets for a household from the vulnerable group, he/she can claim compensation for the entire affected land by means of land- for- land instead of accepting pecuniary compensation for the loss at replacement value, provided land of equal quality or more productive value is available. All other assistance remains the same as those for others including transitional allowances, additional grant for severance of land, residual plots, expenses on fees, taxes, etc. and one time economic rehabilitation grant in the form of productive asset and training for up-grading of skills. • In case of illegal use of the ROW, vulnerable encroachers and all squatters are to be assisted in accordance with the entitlement matrix by considering relevant facts on household income and existing assets. A vulnerable person in this case is eligible to receive assistance for structures at replacement cost. He/she will also have the right to salvage materials from the demolished structure and one time rehabilitation grant in the form of productive asset. • There is provision for additional support to vulnerable people who have been affected by the loss of livelihood / primary source of income. The assistance will be in the form of one time transitional allowance, one time economic rehabilitation grant in the form of productive asset and vocational training of their choice to upgrade the skill. The training will include starting of a suitable production or service activity • The vulnerable will receive additional support in the form of an economic rehabilitation grant to enable them to increase their earning capacity or alternative income sources for which funds have been provided in the budget. • Inter-agency linkages for income restoration. Majority of the households eligible for income restoration earn their livelihood from marginal agriculture or petty businesses, and it is imperative to ensure that the PAPs are able to reconstruct their livelihoods. Based on the market feasibility study to be done during RAP implementation, the list of livelihood schemes will be developed, and based on felt needs of the target group population the activities will be prioritized through people’s participation. Further, these options will be tested for their viability against availability of skills, raw material and available appropriate technology. Suitable alternative livelihood schemes will be finally selected, where training on skills upgrading, capital assistance and Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Chapter-15:Impact on Women and other Vulnerable Groups 13-111 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa assistance in the form of backward-forward linkages (with respect to the selected livelihood schemes) can be provided for making these pursuits sustainable for the beneficiaries, of the target group. Income generation schemes will be developed in consultation with the project affected/displaced households. The grants received for such purpose for the project, will be used for skill development training to upgrade their existing skills, purchase of small-scale capital assets etc. While developing the enterprise or income generation activities, the responsible RAP and TDP Implementation agencywill contact existing relevant institutions such as the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and other local financial institutions to finance the economic ventures in the project affected areas. The marketing and milk federations will also be contacted to plan sustainable economic development opportunities. In addition to project-sponsored programs, the implementing RAP and TDP Implementation agencywill play a proactive role to mobilize the various government schemes and ensure their accessibility and benefits to the PAPs in general and vulnerable groups in particular. In India, panchayat government systems at the village, block and district/zilla levels are now responsible for planning and implementation of all antipoverty programs funded by the central and state governments. Employment for the rural poor is a key component of the anti-poverty strategy in the rural areas. Towards this objective, various schemes of employment generation have been undertaken in the past. Two programs deserve special mention. • The JawaharRozgarYojana (JRY), which aims at creating sustainable employment by strengthening rural infrastructure. The target groups for employment are schedule castes; about 30 percent of the employment is provided to women. • The Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP) is another major poverty alleviation program. It aims to create self-employment opportunities for the rural poor by subsidizing assets and inputs and through term credit advanced by financial institutions. The program guidelines require that 50 percent of the assisted households should be from SC/ST; at least 40 percent of those assisted should be women. The Block Development Officer (BDO) implements IRDP programs. Many of the rural development programs are pro-poor and targeted to women and socially disadvantaged groups. RAP and TDP Implementation agencywill work with the Panchayat governments to integrate some of the ongoing pro-poor programs for poverty reduction with the activities of RAP and social management plan.

During and immediately after RAP implementation: • All PAH have received their compensation and entitlement as per this RAP and TDP. The M&E agencywill review all compensation tallies and ascertain whether compensation was provided correctly and to everyone. • Prepare a compliance report based on which World Bank/ MORTH will decide whether to provide no objection to the beginning of civil works. b. One year after the end of RAP and TDP implementation: • Assess whether aps have improved living standards, in terms of income, housing, access to basic amenities, ownership of land and material assets; • Monitor schedules and achievement of targets; and evaluate whether social development objectives of the project are achieved. An external monitoring and evaluation agency (MM&E Agency) with prior experience in resettlement implementation monitoring and evaluation will be engaged by the MORTH. Immediately after RAP and TDP implementation the agency will prepare a compliance report assessing whether all PAPs have been compensated as required by this RAP and TDP. Based on the Compliance report World Bank will give no-objection to start civil works. In addition, one year after the conclusion of RAP implementation the agencywill carry out a study to document the following: (i) restoration of income levels; (ii) changes and shifts in occupation patterns; (iii) changes in AP type of housing and asset ownership; (iv) assessment of APs access to amenities, such as water, electricity, and transportation; and (v) performance of the NGO, and PIU in resettlement implementation. The EMA will monitor the entire process of RAP and TDP implementation and submit at its end the compliance report directly to the EA which will then transmit it to MORTH.

The compliance report will be sent to MORTH as a stand-alone document. The final Evaluation study will be will be included in the standard project implementation report a year after RAP& TDP implementation was concluded. The Resettlement Action Plan contains indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives under the resettlement program. 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. 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 program 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 program 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. Summarizing, M&E would be carried out for regular assessment of both process followed and progress of the RAP & TDP implementation. The internal monitoring will be carried out by the State Project CoordinationUnit (PCIU) by the Social Officer with assistance from NGO 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 & TDP implementation. The report would highlight issues, if any that need attention of the MORTH and suggest corrective measures that may be followed for better implementation of RAP & TDP.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MORTH), Government of India has decided to up-grade the entire existing single lane/intermediate lane National Highways, which are not covered under National Highways Development Program (NHDP) to at least 2-lane standards through National Highways Inter-connectivity Improvement Program (NHIIP). The NHIIP comprises of 33 project roads of non-NHDP National Highways across 7 states and 1 Union Territory with total length of 3769 km. Of these, 11 sub-projects have been proposed by MORTH for implementation with World Bank Assistance. The present report pertains to Bhojpur to Chhatabar Section (Km 131.000 to Km 192.000) of NH 200 in the State of Orissa. The MORTH intends to rehabilitate and up-grade the existing single lane/intermediate lane between Bhojpur to Chhatabar of NH 200 to 2-lane/2-lane with paved shoulders configuration. The implementation of rehabilitation and up- gradation of this corridor is likely to be taken up with World Bank assistance. The World Bank has agreed to support this sub-project in-principle provided the implementation conforms to environmental and social safeguard policies of the World Bank and the legal framework of the country. The project road starts at Bhojpur (Km 131.000) in Sambalpur District and ends near Chhatabar (Km 192.000) in Deogarh District on NH-200 in Orissa State. The project road is divided in two parts. First part of the project road at km 156.436 terminates on NH 6 near Tilaibani village. In second part, the project road at NH 200 is again originated just before Deogarh city, in continuation of chainage km 156.436 and ends near Chhatabar at km 192.000. The project requires World Bank, Government of India (GOI) and the State Government (GOO) clearances and approvals before the construction work can proceed. The project road does not fall under the preview of EIA Notification 2006, amended in 2009. Since the project road is not located in a legally defined eco-sensitive area, there is no wildlife sanctuary and national park within 10 km from the project road and land acquisition is not more than 20m at any location of the project road, no environmental/wildlife clearance is required to be sought from the NBWL/MOEF. The MORTH has appointed the Louis Berger Group Inc. as project consultant to assist all aspects of project preparation and implementation in accordance with the objectives as detailed in the Terms of Reference (TOR). These tasks are linked to the engineering, environment and social aspects of the project preparation that will be undertaken throughout the period of Consultancy agreement EXISTING ROAD CONDITIONS The Project Road for most of its length passes through Rolling Terrain except from km 158 to km 168 the road passes through Mountainous / Hilly Terrain. The roadside environment is variable from rural village developments to rural agricultural areas, semi-rural open areas with occasional roadside dwellings and small businesses scattered throughout the route. There is ribbon development at some locations along the road with small settlements. Major part of the project road passes through forest and rural open areas. Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Executive Summary 1 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa  Existing Right of Way The information collected from the Revenue department indicate that the existing ROW varying from 8m to 30m along the project road which is insufficient for accommodating the proposals of 2-laning.  Traffic Volume The directional classified traffic volume counts are carried out for each traffic homogeneous section at km 131.500 (Bhojpur) and km 182.00 (Riamal) for 24 hours a day continuously for 7 days. The average composition of traffic reveals 2-wheeler comprising of 26% and 35% in the total traffic at Bhojpur and Riamal respectively. Next to 2 wheelers is bicycle and it constitutes about 35% at both locations which is used for short distance movement by the people residing in the surrounding areas of the project road. Car/Jeep/Van/Taxi at both places comprise of 4% of the total traffic count. Light commercial vehicle (LCV) comprises of 2% and 5% at Bhojpur and Riamal respectively.  Widening Option Due importance has been given to environmental and social issues while road designing. The coordination between social and design team helped in minimizing the number of PAPs and affected households. The project road traverses through Riamal village from km 180.500 to 183.00. This part of town is densely populated and existing ROW varies between 8m to 20m. Majority of ROW is encroached and widening proposal of the existing road in this section could impact about 139 structures. At initial stage of the project, to avoid all adverse impact in Riamal village, four bypass options were proposed and presented to the local public during public consultation. There was a heavy public protest especially by the land owners in Riamal against fresh land acquisition required for the proposed bypass. Thereafter, widening of the existing road was proposed which was also protested heavily by the local public. Considering these the project authority decided strengthens the existing road in Riamal village portion instead of widening. Therefore, strengthening work in the Riamal village section will be done within the available space without impacting any existing structures or fresh land acquisition. Eccentric widening option (one side widening) has been proposed generally for improvement of existing road alignment however, concentric widening option has been proposed in most of the habitat sections so as to avoid extra land acquisition and to minimize adverse social impact. Therefore, all estimations were limited to the CoI only and the project will not displace any person outside the corridor of impact, even if within the ROW. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT AFFECTED HABITATIONS The total of 58 revenue villages and settlements are located within one km of corridor on both sides of the project road that have been identified. Out of total 58 villages identified along the project road, 39 villages are located right on the alignment of the project road and considered as directly affected villages and rest 19 villages are considered as indirectly affected villages.

The literacy rate is 73.45% with 82.4% of males and 64.36% of females being literate, according to Census 2011 (Source: Provisional Orissa Handbook 2011). Orissa has large tribal population, who are at various stages of socio-economic development. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes form 16.53% and 22.13% of the state population, constituting 38.66% of the State population. The overall literacy rate of ST is only 37.4% as compared to the state average of 63.08%. The ST population in the State is overwhelmingly rural, with 94.5 percent residing in villages as compared to the state total of 85% people living in rural areas.54.41% of the total tribal populations live in the Scheduled area and the remaining 45.59% live outside the Scheduled area.  Districts The project influence districts are Sambalpur and Deogarh. Total number of inhabited villages in PIA is 1949 and out of this, 1,238 numbers of villages are in Sambalpur district and the remaining 711 are in Deogarh district. As regard population in PIA, Sambalpur district constitutes 78.82% of total PIA population and Deogarh district constitutes merely 21.18%. The population in Deogarh district is merely 274,108 as against Sambalpur district of 935,613. The low population in Deogarh district is reflected in density of population of the district with only 93 persons per sq. km. The same for Sambalpur district is 141 persons per square kilometer. Urbanization of an area is the reflection the development process and proportion of population living in rural area in PIA district is very high. In Deogarh district more than 92% population is living in rural area where as the same for Sambalpur district is 72.9%. The composition of male and female in appropriate proportion is a healthy sign of a society. In Sambalpur and Deogarh districts the female constitutes 49.22% and 49.51% of district total population. Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) are integral part of Indian society and need additional support due to their vulnerable nature. In the project influence districts, the percentage of SC to total district population is 17% in Sambalpur and 15.4% in Deogarh. The same for scheduled tribe is 34.5% in Sambalpur district and 33.6% in Deogarh district.  Project Impact Zone Every project has direct impact zone (DIZ) and indirect impact zone (IIZ). Direct impact zone from this project point of view has been considered as 13m (CoI- 6.5m either side from the existing centerline) in urban/ semi-urban section and 13 m to 20m in rural section as per design requirement from place to place. There are 58 revenue villages of small & large habitations located within 1km on both side of the project corridor. Out of 58no, 39 revenue villages are located right on the project corridor and considered as direct affected and other 19 villages are located little far from the road alignment but within 1km of project corridor are considered as indirect impact zone. Census & SES details of these 58 villages are presented below. Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Executive Summary 3 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa  House Hold & Population Approximately, 7,029 households comprising 33,940 persons (Male 50.72 & Females 49.28%) are residing in a swath of one km from the existing road. This includes 285 project affected households. Large majority of these 7029 households are likely to be benefited by the project road upgrading directly.  Literacy Literacy level among the likely affected population has been recorded as a part of Census & SES survey. Literacy level of target population is important from that fact that it will provide a basis to understand the affected populations’ education level and form a strong base for developing various training and skill development for the affected population. The data revealed that 55.61% of total population of affected villages is in illiterate category. About 44.39% population of project affect villages are educated which is much below in comparison to district 67.3% and 60.4% in Sambalpur and Deogarh respectively. However, as per census 2001 there is large difference between the male and female literacy rates. Male rates in the project affected villages’ stands at 66.55% whereas female literacy rate is just 45.14%.  Occupation Pattern Occupation profile of the households living along the project corridor has been recorded from census book 2001. The data reveals that people are primarily engaged in agriculture, Labor, small business and service sector. Around 44.40 % of total population is identified in the working category, which is higher in comparison to the state’s figure of 38.8%. Out of total of 44.4%, 60.29% are main workers and 39.71% are marginal workers engaged in agriculture, cultivation and labor works. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood for the majority of the people in the project affected area. The share of women is higher among non-workers and marginal workers. SCHEDULE CAST & SCHEDULE TRIBE POPULATION The data reveals that SC and ST population are present in almost all the villages in varying proportion. 14.68 % of total population of affected villages belongs to Schedule Caste which consist 14.77% of male and 14.60% of female population. Schedule Tribe population in the affected region/ villages has significant share in the total population. It shares 31.08% in total of affected population in which, male shares 31.03% and females shares 31.34% of total population.  Income Levels The income level of the surveyed households has been grouped in four ranges from less than Rs. 2,000 per month to more than Rs. 10,000 per month. The data reveals that 64.36% population fall under the group having income up-to rupees 2,000, 21.78% in between rupees 2,000 to 5,000, 7.92% in between rupees 5000 to 1000 and 5.94% in the group having income more than rupees 10,000per month.  Existing Public Amenities For majority of the respondents interviewed, during sample survey, the availability of various facilities is within one to two kilometer distance. For some of the respondents, facilities like hospital, post office and bank are in the range of 2 to 5km and there are others, for whom, these facilities are available at a distance of more than five kilometer. The availability of infrastructure can be attributed to the fact that, all the villages are on the NH 200 or nearby surrounding areas which is main arterial road for the region.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa Nonetheless, good infrastructure support is very vital to over development of the region.  Status of women The analysis of data reveals that women in the surveyed households engaged in activities such as cultivation, allied activities (Dairy, Poultry, Sheep rearing, etc.), trade& business, household work, agriculture worker, participation in Panchayat activities. Majority of the woman (98%) members look after household activities like any other woman member in the country. There are about 1% of women member engaged in cultivation. Only 0.75% of women members are involved in other activities such as dairy, 25.84% women are involve in collection and sale of forest product, 30.71% are engaged as an agricultural labour.  Migration in Orissa Orissa’s share is 2.5 million and considered a key state for supply of migrant labour. In Orissa 76,84,371 households were surveyed under the 2002 BPL survey carried out by the Government of India (reference BPL survey of India 2002). Out of which 30,28,526 households were reported as migrants and coming under the category of seasonal and casual work. The percentage of rural migration to the total surveyed rural household in Orissa is little less than 50%. Survival migration which is seasonal in nature and occurs under distress conditions are the unique characteristics of migration in Orissa. This type of survival migration in Orissa is found mostly in Adivasi areas. Some empirical studies have identified that, women migrants are on the rise from Orissa. Though illiterates, they have developed an urge to be economically independent. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF PROJECT AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS/ PERSONS  Introduction Socio Economic profile of the project affected households has been collected during census and SES survey of the effected households. The cut-off date for the eligibility of the entitlements for the non-titleholders is the date of commencement of the census survey 21 Oct- 2011 for the project NH-200. A total of 285 project affected households comprising 1501 person are likely to be affected by the project out of which only 172 households could be surveyed. The reaming 113 households could not be surveyed even after making repeated efforts because of non-availability of land owners in the respective villages. An enquiry with panchayat and villagers reveals that majority of land owners have been staying in places like Sambalpur, Angul and Bhubaneswar, etc. Further, some of the land owners refuse to provide response to the survey. Therefore, the social impact assessment covers details of 172 households.  Affected Households The data reveals that of the surveyed 172 households, OBC shares the 62.79% of total affect households followed by ST 15.70%, General 13.13%, and SC 8.14%. The composition of population shows that OBC constitute majority of the affected households followed by ST population. The survey data reveals that the share of ST population (15.7%) is much below in comparison to state (22.1%) and affected districts (Sambalpur 34.5% and Deogarh 33.6%) level.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa  Affected Population Of the 285 affected households, 172 affected households were surveyed that comprised 906 persons, Of these 906 persons 454 persons experience impact on the structures and 452 persons experience impact due to the proposed land acquisition. 62.79% of the total affected population belongs to OBC category followed by 15.74% ST, 10.18% General and 8.14% under SC Category. The data reveals that ST population in the project affect households are much below (15.74%) in compression to State (22.1%) and District (Sambalpur 34.5% and Deogarh 33.6%) population. The data reveals that male shares 53.26% in comparison to females 4674% of the total affected population. In Schedule Tribe population, female shares are the highest percentage in comparison to the other categories i.e. 48.92% of the total population followed by Schedule OBC 47.00%. Gender ratio in the Schedule Tribes (ST) is still better, in comparison to other categories.  Religion of the PAHs Findings of the socio-economic survey reveals that 97.09% project affected households are Hindus & Muslims comprise 2.91% of the project affected households.  Average Household Size and Composition The total persons living in these households are 906. As regard household size, 27.91% has household size of 3 or less than 3 persons shares 12.58% of the affected population; 45.93% has household size of 4to 5 persons shares 39.18% of affected population; another 13.37% has household size of 6 to 8 persons shares 16.56% of the affected population and the remaining 12.79% has household size of more than 8 persons which is sharing 31.68% of the project affected population. However, the average size of the household is 5.25 persons.  Literacy Status of the Affected Population The survey reveals that illiterate comprises of 22.19% in total survey population. About 21.63% are educated up to primary level; whereas, educated up to high school, graduate & above constitute 29.03%, 12.03% and 2.54% respectively. A mere 1.55% of PAPs are technically qualified which indicates the need for stress on technical education and skill enhancement programs in PIA.  Marital Status of PAPs Socio-economic survey reveals 705 (77.81%) persons are married while 201 (22.19%)) persons are unmarried.  Health Status of PAHs Data on health status of PAHs indicate that nearly 34.30% of the households have recorded some form of illness. The main dieses reported in the area are Asthma, Blood Pressure, Viral Fever and Malaria.  Employment status of PAPS The data reveals that employment status (18.54%) is very poor in the project affected households in comparison to state (38.8%) and district Sambalpur (45.00%) and Deogarh (46.1%). Poor employment status is one of the major causes of poor economic conditions of the PAHH. Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Executive Summary 6 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa  Occupational Profile and Sources of Employment The survey result reveals that people are primarily engaged in cultivation, labor, business, and agriculture and service sector. Around 7.56% & 55.23% of households are engaged in agriculture & cultivation related sector; households engaged in labor works are 11.63%, households engaged in business are 43.02% and another 9.88% household’s main occupation is service.  Level of Poverty The income level of the surveyed households has been grouped in four ranges from less than Rs. 2,000 per month to more than Rs. 10,000 per month. In terms of percentage, 44.19% of affected households are having monthly income up to rupees 2000 or less, 37.21% households having income in between rupees 2,000 to 5,000 per month, 13.37% households having their income in between rupees 5,000 to 10,000 per month and only 5.23% households having income rupees 10,000 or above. The data reveals that around 45% of the PAPs are belonging to BPL category. As per socio-economic survey, out of the total 48 households who have taken some form of loan 37 (77.08%) households have taken loan from some Bank and 7 (14.58%) households have taken a loan from NGO, 3 (6.25%) households from some money lenders and 1 (2.08%) for SHG.  Expenditure/ Consumption Pattern 91.27% PAHs spend less than Rs. 2,000/- on food. The least expenditure is on cooking fuel, clothing and health this statistics is representative of the low income group expenditure patterns on the basic items. Qualitative studies have documented the difficulties that households experience in trying to satisfy their food needs within the constraint of limited incomes.  Possession of Material Assets of Households The communication systems in the project corridor are well in place and nearly 57 PAPs have a telephone/mobile connection. Cycle is the preferred mode of transport amongst the PAHs. This fact is also reflected in the traffic survey analysis done at two locations. Ownership of refrigerator, TV, cooking gas, etc. is reported to be low particularly, in rural sections.  Livestock Possession of HHs Total 103 numbers livestock owned by the PAH. Out of total 103 livestock, 73.79% of livestock constituted by Cows, 18.45% by Goats and 7.77% by the Poultry. Majority of the habitations do not have livestock. STATUS OF WOMEN The analysis of data revealed that women in the surveyed households engaged in activities such as cultivation, allied activities (Dairy, Poultry, Sheep rearing, etc.), trade& business, household work, and agriculture labour. There are about 18.02% of women member engaged in cultivation, 3.49% of women members are involved in other activities, 8.14% women are involved in collection of water & fuel, 8.14% in agricultural labours, 6.40% are helping their household members in trade and business, 6.4% of women are in service, 5.23% of women are worked as non-agricultural labours and 18.60% women’s are actively involved in the community and panchayat work.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa Analysis of data revealed that issues related to financial matters are decided primarily by male in around 52.75% of the households and jointly by man & women around 41.10% households. Also when decisions regarding purchase of assets are made they are taken primarily by males in 84 HHs (52.83%). Land and property related decisions are taken by men in all the households. Decisions related to education of child and healthcare of children are taken primarily jointly by both women and men. Women say alone in all the matters is very limited almost negligible. ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE The availability of infrastructure can be attributed to the fact that all the villages are on the NH 200 which is main arterial road for the region. Nonetheless, good infrastructure support is very vital to over development of the region. For majority of the respondents interviewed, the availability of various facilities is within one to two kilometer distance. For some of the respondents, facilities like hospital, post office and bank are in the range of 2 to 5km and there are others for whom these facilities are available at a distance of more than five kilometer. HIV/ AIDS There is no HIV/ AIDS case is reported during survey and around 98% surveyed households indicated knowledge about HIV/AIDS. SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT  Introduction Census & SES surveys were carried out in the existing situation/conditions to know the real impact within the COI has been done (within 13m i.e. 6.5 m from the existing center line on either side). The indicated width varies at some place as per the design requirement. The magnitude and intensity of the impact anticipated due to the proposed project is discussed below.  Likely Positive Impacts Upgrading and strengthening of NH 200 will induce economic and social benefits to the people in the direct influence zone i.e., villages through which the project road traverses and indirect benefits to the districts and state. Upgrading of the project road will improve intra-state as well as inter-state (Orissa & Chhattisgarh) connectivity, and thereby facilitate faster transportation of bulk goods and services with less interruption at a lesser transport cost. It will provide impetus for economic development in the immediate surroundings and would also generate local employment. Furthermore, it will facilitate improved access to market centers, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and offices located in the districts. The cumulative likely positive impacts of the project will result in increased mobility, employment generation, and above all better economic integration of the area with the major market and trade centers within and outside the districts.  Minimizing Adverse Impacts As part of the project preparation, social screening survey was carried out by the consultant during January 2011. Social screening survey (part of feasibility study) identified 581 structures and 16.14ha of private land which were likely to be affected. Subsequently, the design was revised twice after detailed discussion and deliberations with PCC and the World Bank specialists. Site visits were also undertaken to explore possibility of alternatives and re-checking the ground conditions. As discussed and Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Executive Summary 8 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa advised during the site visit of the World Bank experts, many changes has been made in the proposed alignment and subsequently, few re-alignments and bypass at Riamal town has been removed. At the screening stage, impact on 581 structures and 16.14 hectare of private land was estimated which is reduced to 157 structures and 5.46 hectare during the final revision stage. The adverse impact of the project has been minimized/ reduced by making suitable modifications/ adjustments at many places. Concept of COI has been adopted to keep land acquisition at its minimum level. Concentric widening has been proposed at urban/ semi-urban areas, effort has been made to fix the proposed widening within the existing ROW. At some place, with the little adjustment/ reduction in the design speed, (curves at km 141.147, km 167.150, km 169.776, km 181.200 and km 184.437) of carves and turns has been adjusted with in the available ROW or with very minimal land acquisition. After micro level study on ground, to minimize the land requirement at many locations, retaining walls have been proposed to keep embankment height/ formation width within the COI. In urban/ sub-urban areas like Bhojpur (km 131.00. to 131.500), Rengalbeda (km 170.00 to km 171.500) and Naulipada (km 186.700 to km 188.00) to minimizing the impact the structure to structure pavement in total area has been proposed and whereas, drainage has been proposed under footpath.  Likely Loss of Properties It is estimated that as many as 157 existing properties will be affected within 13 meters ROW 6.5m (except few locations) each side from the centerline of the existing carriageway). Private properties constitute 83.44%, Government/public & religious properties 1.27% each, community properties 2.55%, Utility 4.46% and Boundary Wall 7.01% of the total affected properties.  District Wise Loss of Properties The data reveals that the least number of properties are likely to be impacted in Sambalpur district. The likely numbers of impacted properties in Deogarh and Sambalpur districts are 132 and 25 respectively.  Private Properties Likely to be affected along the Road The total number of private properties likely to be affected due to the project is estimated to be 131 in number. Of these total private properties 68 are on the left side and 63 on the right side of the corridor. TYPE OF COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES ALONG THE PROJECT ROAD There are 72, different types of commercial structures likely to be affected due to the proposed project. As recorded in survey data, maximum numbers of commercial establishments (80.56%) are shops followed by (11.11%) road side hotels, (2.78 %) each kiosk, commercial complex and small eatery. Majority of kiosks are outside of COI i.e. 13 (6.5m each side from the center) of the road only two Kiosks are located within the COI.  Religious Properties Only boundary walls of two temples are getting affected in the proposed widening of 13m i.e. 6.5m from the center of existing road. Even though there are many religious structures are located all along the project road, efforts have been made to save majority of them by adopting concept of COI.

Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa  Construction type & area of the Structure likely to be affected Data reveals that (97) 59.10% of the structures enumerated within ROW are of semi- permanent construction followed by (31) 18.39%are temporary, (11) 9.50% are permanent construction.  Type of Utilities likely to be affected A total of 7 utilities are likely to be affected by the proposed widening of the project road. Data reveals that 4 (57.14%) Hand pumps, 2(28.57%) Bus Stops and 1 (14.29%) Toilet would get impacted within the proposed corridor of 13m.  Land Acquisition The verified areas from the Competent Authorities are received. It is assessed that 5.46 hectare of private land with 281 surveys/ sub-survey numbers will have to be acquired.  Affected Households Proposed development will affect around 285 households out which 131 households will get affected by the impact on structure and remaining 154 households will be affected by the proposed land acquisition. Out of 131 private structures 2 are movable kiosks which can easily shifted and placed at other location.  Affected Vulnerable Households To arrive at this figure, SC and ST proportion along with households having monthly income rupees 2,000 or less (BPL) has been considered as the base. The number of vulnerable households estimated likely to be affected by this road widening is 194. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND CONSULTATIONS The process of information dissemination, collecting relevant information and to acquaint with social requirements of the project, the government officials, key informants & knowledgeable person of the society and other stakeholders were consulted during environmental and social survey. At the time of public consultation the government and non-government official have taken keen interest and were pleased with the implementation of the project and supplied most of the relevant information. The respected and influential personalities of the likely affected communities were consulted in order to resolve all the disputed issues relating to removal of unauthorized encroachments, shifting of religious properties where people’s sentiments are involved and also to remove all kind of barriers pertaining to environmental social, political, historical, cultural and religious which may be obstacles in the way of project road widening.  Levels of Consultations The public consultations were carried out at the screening, feasibility and screening, feasibility, and social impact assessment stages of the project. The extent of likely adverse impacts was one of the major criteria for deciding the locations of public consultations. Consultations in the forms of interviews with government officials, individual consultations, key informant interviews, focus group discussion, and stakeholder were carried out with various participants.  Gram Sabah/ Palli Sabah under PESA 1996 & FERA Project road of NH-200 traverses through 2 districts i.e. Sambalpur and Deogarh. The Section of road falls under Tehsil Jamankira and Kuchinda of Sambalpur district. These two districts are listed in Schedule V of constitution of India. Therefore, PESA (Panchayat Extension in Schedule Areas) 1996 is applied in all the villages getting Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Executive Summary 10 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc. Preparation of Detailed Project Report for Rehabilitation and Upgrading to 2-lane / 2-lane with Paved shoulders configuration of NH-200 km 131/0 to 192/0 in the State of Orissa affected directly by the Land Acquisition or Diversion of Forest land. As per applicable law and prescribed procedure to acquire the private & revenue land or diversion of forest land will be required Gram/ Palli Sabah resolution. Gram/ Palli Sabah under FERA (Forest Right Act) 2006 in the district of Deogarh Palli Sabah has been conducted in 35 villages and required resolution for diversion of forest and cutting of trees has been procured referred Annexure-11. Based on the finding of the consultation with the various stakeholders and especially with the people living along the project corridor it is recommended that various minimization options should be worked out to reduce the loss of assets and livelihood of the people in project impact zone. The consultation process shall be continuing during the details design period to further minimize adverse impact and involve people’s concern. RESETTLEMENT & REHABILITATION LEGAL FRAMEWORK For the proposed development of NH 200 from km 131.00 to 192.00, the available ROW is insufficient, and therefore land acquisition is necessary. The proposed project will make improvements of existing two/intermediate lane to standard two lanes without paved shoulder configuration, improvement of geometric deficiencies from traffic safety point of view, proposals of truck laybys, bus stops and bus bays etc. All these provisions will require additional land. This RPF for the NHIIP has been prepared based on the findings of Social Survey Report (SSR) covering initial impact assessment and review of applicable legal and policy framework discussed above. In order to address the adverse impacts of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, MORTH, Govt. of India recognised the need for the development of Resettlement Policy Framework. 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.  Institutional Arrangement Suitable institutional arrangements will be made to manage and implement Resettlement Action Plan. The institutional arrangements will be set up at three levels viz., Central, State and Project Level.  Eligibility and Entitlement The entitlement matrix has been developed in accordance with the basic principles adopted in the RPF and analysis of initial identification of project impacts.  Valuation and Compensation for Losses The Valuation of land acquisition and resettlement has been worked out as per the entitlement matrix, rates for land, resettlement assistance, and support cost. The unit cost for land and other assets has been derived through field appraisal, consultation with affected households, relevant local authorities and reference from old practices. The rates for compensation have been proposed to the local governments and NH Final DPR, Volume V: RAP, Executive Summary 11 THE Louis Berger Group, Inc.

The support cost includes the cost of hiring the services of NGO and independent monitoring agency. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES The GRC will be constituted by the Project Authority with the aim to settle as many disputes as possible through consultations. There will be one GRC for each PIU. The GRC will comprise five members headed by a retired Magistrate not below the rank of SDM. Other members of the GRC will include 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. Grievances of EPs in writing will be brought to GRC for redress by the RAP implementation agency – an agency with requisite experience and expertidse contracted for implementation of the RAP. 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 EPs. The decision of the GRC will not be binding to EPs. This means the decision of the GRC does not debar EPs taking recourse to court of law, if he/she so desires. TRIBAL IMPACT MITIGATION AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY  Introduction The census surveys and consultation with specific groups including tribal along the project stretches identified some critical tribal issues that need to be addressed under the project.  Methodology used to Assess Tribal Issues Structured questionnaires, open-ended formats, group discussion during preparation of Village Diary etc. were used to assess the impact. The data collected through socio- economic survey and census survey was another source of information for social assessment of tribes. Consultation Methodology: consultations was carried out with the likely affected tribal population in a culturally appropriate manner using local languages where needed.  Palli (Gram) Sabah under PESA 1996 & Forest Right Act 2006 Project road traverses through Jamankira Tehsil, of Sambalpur District from km 131.00 to 147.00 and District Deogarh from km 147.00 to km 192.00. Jamankira Tehsil of district Sambalpur is listed under the Schedule V of constitution of India therefore, it is mandatory to conduct the Gram Sabah in these project affected villages as per the prescribed procedure with the minimum 15 days notices period. The required Gram Sabah has been conducted in all these project affected villages of Sambalpur district under PESA (Punchayat Extension in Schedule Areas) 1996. Whereas, district Deogarh is not listed under the Schedule V but schedule tribe population constitute a significant percentage of the total population of the district.
