These details were provided in the notification provided by the Department of Revenue, UT Administration of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and
responses collected from PAFs.
The average percentage area of the households that will be impacted by the construction of 6 lane road is approx 22.02%.
3.9 Bare minimum land assessment A few of the PAPs (land owners) are not willing to sell their land & properties. During the public consultation they
shared that the highways in Gujarat and Mumbai are also 4 lanes and therefore there is no need of the current
expansion of the same to six lane highway. Officials from Land Acquisition Department and panchayat members
during discussion informed that the road on both end of the village is connecting to the 30m wide (6 lane national
Highway) and therefore the road through Dadra village needs to be expanded by 5m on both sides. Most of the
PAPs mentioned that they wish to keep the land for their future plans. Hence, a total of 5m on both the sides of the
village is the bare minimum land for construction of six lanes by widening the road up to 30 meters.
3.10 Extent of impact The land spread over 46 survey numbers and owned by 38 families at the project location will be impacted partially
by the acquisition. The potential impact on the residential and commercial structures in the identified location will
be partial. However, a few PAFs have their shops (part of project site as the sole means of livelihood. These PAFs
will be majorly impacted by the acquisition. Some households are built on load-bearing structure having old
Portuguese architecture. A slight break down at one place might lead to falling of the entire structure. It is inferred
from the above that deprivation of the income from the land at the project site is likely to decrease their livelihood
and bring about a transition in their expenditure pattern, property loss and cultural loss.
3.11 Number of families and persons affected With the acquisition of their property at the project location, all the 38 families and their dependents totaling to a
population of 148 people will be affected by the project at Dadra village. It was learnt from the interactions that the
commercial settlement at the location acted as a source of income for few of these households. The major source of
earning for most of the households in the affected category however was from their employment/business. For few
of the PAFs, the source of income was from the service pension. These households survived solely on the income
from their business, employment (also in the form of rent) and old age pension.
3.12. Quantity and location of land proposed to be acquired for the project As stated earlier, the land to be acquired for the project is estimated to be 3109.01 Sq.mts owned by 38 families and
their dependents. It is spread across 46 household survey numbers. The proposed land is located in Dadra Village of
Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

CHAPTER IV: ESTIMATION AND ENUMERATION OF
AFFECTED FAMILIES ASSETS
This chapter describes in detail about directly affected landowners and the impact that the construction of 6 lane
Dadra Tighra road will have on their property, resources, assets, community resources etc. at the identified project
site.
4.1 Number of property and families affected The land spread over 46 survey numbers and owned by 38 families at the project location will be impacted by the
construction of 6 lanes Dadra Tighra road. Total 3109.01 sq.mts of land will be acquired under the project for the
same. Acquisition of this land for the project will affect them in terms of loss of land and deduction in their source
of income.
4.2 Ownership of land Detailed socio-economic profile of the project affected land owner is given in the next chapter. This section
provides area of individual landholder to be acquired with his/her name. This information was collected from the
U.T Administration Dadra and Nagar Haveli and PAFs.
The SIA study area accounting to 3109.01 Sq.mts is fully privately owned by the land owners. It also includes
government land or common property resources. However, it is observed that although the SIA study area includes
only private owned land, the project area when considered in total includes government besides private land.
Acquisition of the government land will directly affect the population that resides in the project site since a primary
school and panchayat Office..

*Some of the PAFs as per the list provided were not available during the site visit since they have migrated and are presently living in Mumbai. SR
Asia team tried to connect with PAPs through telephone however it was difficult to reach to them. Hence their details do not figure in the above list.
4.3 Number of residence/ affected struct ures The land is fully a non- agricultural land. There are residential or commercial establishments existing or functioning
in the area. The table below briefly describes the estimation of the affected property.
There is no such need for the construction of six lane highway. We are
ready for expansion of 2.5meters on both sides of the road instead of 5
meters. He also said “Ghar toot jaega toh jaenge kahan”
6 60 Mr. Narottam
Channabhai
It is good for the development of village. It was necessary also for a better
future. The government should also look into the alternatives for equal
settlement on both the sides.
7 14 Mr. Shantilal
Govindji
There is no requirement of such road widening. We are here since
Portuguese time. If the road will be stretched it will impact our
commercial structure too. Bypass and over bridge is one such alternative
the government should look into.
8 58 Mr. Kundan
Cholaram Sirvi
We are willing to give the land for appropriate price. It would be better if
they will pay us at the market rate instead of the government rates.
9 23/1p Mr. Ravindra
Jagannath
Badgujar
“It is a meaningless since there is no need for the expansion of road. There
are no such traffic issues or traffic congestion.
10 42 Mr. Vijay Ratilal
Shah
It is not required. Already people are settled and are living here from
more than 80 years. The village is popular because of ancestral property
and architecture. If the government wants to take land than they should
take only the required land. I believe over bridge can be a good alternative
to this.
11 48p Mr. Dilipsinh
Parwar (Panchayat
Secretary)
The village has all old buildings and structures and it will be impacted the
most because of this project. This is important also for the development
and to minimize traffic congestion.
12 48p Mrs. Sumitra Devi
(Sarpanch)
People do not want to give away their ancestral property. Although they
may have another land or property somewhere else. The interior of the
village needs to be considered. The shops are on rent and the owners are
living nearby but these are the only source of income to them and might
be impacted with the project.
13 48p Mrs. Bharti U
Halpati
It should be done. It will benefit the people of the village as development
is a good step and is a must thing. The road had so much traffic due to
which many accidents happened. This will be overcome due to the
project. The road is connecting to Nasik, therefore should be widened.
44 | P a g e
14 56 Mrs. Parul Bhen
Desai
There is no such problem of traffic jam. The shop will go in road
widening and our income thus will be affected. Even the compound of
our house will be gone in the project but our major loss will be our shop.
There is no need of such highway construction as after six lane highway it
will all go in parking.

bhi agr tuta toh pura tut jaega. Iski zarurat hi nhi hai koi”.
16 Few PAFs Few PAFs also mentioned that at the nearby 6 lane roads, one lane is used only to park vehicles of industries. They shared that the additional lane will not have any utility for the commuter
*Personal information of few of the project affected population has been kept confidential.
An overview of the socio-economic cultural profile undertaken under the present SIA study portrays that 46 households are
partially affected by the land acquisition in the project location. A total of 148 people -64 women and 84 men- are affected by
the project. There was neither any Scheduled Caste nor Scheduled Tribe and no other backward class households who are directly or
partially affected. Majority were from general social group. Out of the total population, children and elderly constituted 10 and
55 members each. Family business/ trade, employment/occupation at the government and private sector were the major source of
income for the project affected families and they earned between Rs.20,000/- and Rs. 40,000/- per month indicating a better off
status. For five households service pension formed the source. All of these land owners resided in their property at the project site.
There were residential, commercial or cultural structures in their property. It was primarily a non-agricultural land. The income
from the commercial property acted as a source of livelihood/income for these households. From the analysis it can be inferred that
most of the project affected households were of high middle income group.

CHAPTER VI: SOCIAL IMPACT MANAGEMENT PLAN
6.1 Introduction This Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) has been prepared to mitigate negative social impacts of this project
according to RFCTLARR. The SIMP consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be
taken during the design, construction and operational phases of the project to eliminate adverse social impacts or to
reduce them to acceptable levels. The main aim of the SIMP is to ensure that the various adverse impacts are
mitigated and the positive impacts are enhanced. The SIMP shall be implemented during the various stages of the
project viz. pre-construction stage, construction stage and operational stage.
In compliance with section 4 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
resettlement and rehabilitation Act of 2013, the present social impact assessment was carried out with the prime
objective to identify the potential socio-economic positive and negative impacts of land acquisition and to develop
attainable mitigation measures to enhance positive impacts and reduce or avoid negative impacts and thereby
ensure a participative, informed and transparent process of land acquisition for the construction of six lane
highway.
6.2 Approach to mitigation The SIA team made use of a combination of two research approaches i.e., quantitative and qualitative, for the
identification of various social impact and the mitigation measures. Adoption of a combination of both qualitative
and quantitative methodology was intended to obtain a more comprehensive data and more holistic result without
excluding any important area of assessment. The mitigation measures proposed were arrived at through a series of
interactions and discussions with different categories of stakeholders, viz., the project affected population,
panchayat member, government officials of department of Revenue. The collected information on social impact
was studied and discussed internally and externally with experts in order to frame the mitigation plan. The process
of such interactions culminated at framing various measures to mitigate and avoid or reduce the impact.
This chapter summarizes and presents the major social impacts both negative and positive and the mitigation
measures to be adhered to at various stages of the project with a vision to mitigate the negative social impact and
enhance the positive ones.
6.3 Social impact The area of the SIA study which was limited to an extent of 3109.01 sq. mts was possessed by 38 land holders
spread over 46 survey number. Information elicited through a multipronged strategy highlighted that most land
holders were not happy with the construction of six lane highway in the area identified. At the same time they
expressed certain concerns that could affect/impact their social and economic life in the society due to the
acquisition of their land. The following provides the major anticipated impacts (both positive and negative) of the
proposed project which were discussed by the PAFs with the project team:
47 | P a g e
9.3.1. Positive Impact
Responses highlight that with the construction and operation of the six lane highway the people and the area wil
have positive impacts considering future requirements in mind. A few of the major ones cited are:
(i) Increase in land price
With the construction, the value of the land holdings in the entire area of Dadra village is likely to go higher.
However, the PAFs were quite apprehensive whether it should be considered as positive or negative. Among the
directly affected households, except two, all the others will be deprived of any land at the vicinity of the project
location after acquisition.
(ii) Increased road safety
A few of the PAFs mentioned that it is good project for the development of people and the village. Also they shared
that since the road through the village acts as a bottleneck for the passage of the traffic the widening of road will help
in the free flow of traffic thus increasing the road safety. Further they told that because of the narrow roads it get
difficult to cross the road specially for school children after their school gets over.
(iii) Improved Infrastructure
The construction of 6 lane road will lead to the overall development of area in terms of improved infrastructure for
travelling. The road will provide solution to the traffic congestions that might affect the area in longer run
(iv) Reduction in pollution
(v) Increase in road access and connectivity
9.3.2. Negative Impact
Through the acquisition of land which is primarily non-agricultural in nature, the land holders who are affected
stated the following impacts which will negatively affect their lives. They were undivided on the fact that unlike the
industries existing in the area, construction of six lane Dadra Tighra road will have negative impact. The negative
impacts indicated are mentioned below:
(i) Impact on livelihood (Loss of source of income)
Among the land holders in the project area few households reported that they had commercial structure on land
and that is the only source of income for the family. Accordingly, acquisition of their land for construction of six
lane highway will permanently take away a source of their income. To quote their words, a few respondents
stated, „our shop is the only source of income. “Ab ghr bhi tut jaega toh jaenge kahan”, “Already last time expansion
mai hamara half portion gya tha aura ab shop chle gait oh kya krenge.pura family iss shop pr dependent hai.” In
consonance with the above, few of them stated that they would be deprived of a source of earning resulting in a
decrease in their income
(ii) Impact on Land
The identified land for construction under the project is primarily a non-agricultural land. While certain plots were
laying barren for decades. Nevertheless, acquisition will lead to loss of entire residential and commercial settlement
impacting PAFs.
48 | P a g e
(iii) Impact on Physical resources (Loss of assets)
The respondents during conducting survey questionnaire and personal interviews reported about loss of trees, loss
of bore wells and loss of compounds in their land at the project site. However, during physical visit by the SIA team
no yielding trees could be observed in the land.
(iv) Impact on ancestral property
Most of the land owners have occupied the property from heritage. Many of the structures at the project location
are more than 100 years old and are built up in Portuguese architecture. The construction of 6 lane Dadra Tighra
road will impact the residential settlements and commercial establishment on the land hence affecting the historical
value of the area.
(v) Impact on common public resources
There are common public resources i.e. Bhavani Mata temple, panchayat ghar and primary school that will be
impacted with the construction of this project.

6.4 Impact Mitigation/Mitigation Plan
Based on the desk review, field investigations and consultations undertaken during the social impact assessment
study towards the construction of the six lane highway, the following Social Impact Mitigation Plan (SIMP) has been
developed to mitigate negative social impact that may arise from the same at Dadra village of Dadra and Nagar
Haveli. Environment degradation, social impact, and economic loss were found to be the negative impacts of the
project. In this regards, the following mitigation measures can be adopted:
Economic measure
a) The most significant social impact through the construction of the project at the present location is the loss
of property for 38 households and their dependents spread over 46 survey number. Loss of property and
the assets due to acquisition of land for the construction of 6-lane Dadra -Tighra road should be
compensated as mandated by the Act under sections 26-31 and which are listed in the First Schedule of the
Act for the 38 households.
b) The commercial settlements can be rehabilitated at preferred location of PAF..
49 | P a g e
Environmental Measures
a) To minimize the impact on the environment due to the loss of trees it is suggested that the proponent
should ensure that more number of trees are planted at the project area.
b) The proponent can and should ensure that the water resources available at the project site are maintained
and preserved so that these resources can be used to meet the water needs of the area.
c) Check on vehicular emission and CFCs should be done
d) Sprinkling of Water Shall be carried out regularly at site to reduce the air pollution during the construction
phase
Rehabilitation Measures
There are residential households and construction establishments at the project site. Some of the PAFs were willing
to provide land in lieu of another land in the village. However, they were also of the view that no such land is
available in the village. Hence, if possible such measure should be undertaken. Rehabilitation under the project is
one such measure and so the affected population be rehabilitated on the land at the project area.
Other measures
a) A Public redressal mechanism should be designed at the project site to address the concerns of the directly
affected population (if any) during the construction stage of the project.
b) The proponent should establish an extension wing that would design, plan and implement innovative
programmes for the overall development of the villages in the nearby areas. This would be instrumental in
integrating the project with the people outside.
c) The land owners shall be suitably compensated
d) Construction materials & waste should be properly covered during transportation to avoid spillage &
dispersion.
e) Affected cultural structure (temple) should be relocated with due consultation with local communities.
Table: Mitigation Measures
Impact Proposed Mitigation
Loss of Property (Residential and commercial) Compensation as per RTFCTLARR Act, 2013
Loss of Assets (borewell, etc.) Compensation as per RTFCTLARR Act, 2013
Loss of source of income Compensation as per RTFCTLARR Act, 2013
Impact on water source Incorporate water sources in order to meet and maintain the
water needs of the village
6.5 Measures to Avoid, Mitigate and compensate The Proponent should ensure that preventive measures are taken to address the issues. A redressal system may be
set up with representatives from Revenue department, Panchayat and the proponent for the speedy settlement of
the unanticipated issues that may crop up during various stages of the project. Comparing/weighing the positive
against the negative impacts, it can be easily concluded that the former outweigh the latter reaffirming the identified
50 | P a g e
site as the most suitable and apt one for the construction of 6-lane Dadra Tighra Road. It is observed that although
the landholders for sure lose the land, their quality of life is less likely to get affected as they mainly depended on
employment/business as the major means of livelihood. The loss of asset which is ancestral for most will have its
negative impact physically and psychologically. Yet, analyzing the impacts it is inferred that there is absolutely no
displacement of households on one side and on the other the negative impact on land, livelihood, physical resources,
public facilities or culture are comparatively lesser or minimum. It is also observed by the SIA team that many of the
negative impacts highlighted above can be minimized or reduced further with appropriate and effective mitigation
measures/strategies mentioned above.

CHAPTER VII: COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS
7.1 Introduction After the careful analysis of positive and negative impacts of construction of six lane highway, the project team
compared the cost with its benefits. In the following section, a detailed analysis of benefits and respective costs are
presented.
7.2 Assessment of Pub lic Purpose The construction of six lane highway will help in reducing the traffic congestion accommodating the growing
population in the coming years. However, the project will prove fruitful for the PAFs and people of nearby villages.
7.3 Benefits from the project
The project will provide control over traffic congestion.
It will lead to enhance the value of land.
7.4 Impacts on structures and its magnitude Bhavani Mata Temple is present on the land to be acquired. People of the village have sentiments attached to this
temple and don‟t want the same to be affected in land acquisition process. The total land to be acquired by the land
acquisition department is 3109.01 hectares and will have partially impact on the structures.
7.5 Determinants of Compensation As per RFCTLARR-2013, the collector shall adopt following criteria to assess and determine the market value of
land and amount of compensation. Market value specified in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, for the registration of sale
deeds or agreement to sell where land is situated, The average sale price of similar type of land situated in the
nearest village or nearest vicinity can be considered.
During the interaction with the PAPs, majority of them shared that the market price of one Guntha of land is Rs 4
Crore (one Guntha=101.17 sq mts). They demanded similar compensation for the land.
The compensation should be made keeping in mind the provisions of the RFCTLARR-2013 of Central Government.
7.6 Entitlement Matrix As per RFCTLARR-2013, the collector shall adopt following criteria to assess and determine the market value of
land and amount of compensation. Market value specified in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, for the registration of sale
deeds or agreement to sell where land is situated,
The average sale price of similar type of land situated in the nearest village or nearest vicinity,

7.7 Criteria for compensation based on Quality of Soil / Land As the land trade/ transactions have been happening among every community in the area, PAPs have their own view
about the amount they have to get as compensation. As per PAPs the market rate of the land he should be
compensated minimum four times the market rate of the land plus property value of houses if the same is being
acquired. However, when Land and revenue department was approached, they have shared that the rate of lands are
fixed as per the classification of the land /soil. The details of the land /soil acquired are as below
53 | P a g e
7.8 Cost estimation of Land On the basis of discussion with the public, the following cost of the estimation for the compensation is given below.
There is variation of cost of the land. As per the locals, rates of the residential land are very high. They mentioned
that the market of 1 sq mt of land is 3.95 lakhs.
Since most of the PAFs were not willing to sell their land, details readings their assests cound not be comprehended
by the project team. Therefore, the concerned valuator has to assess the actual cost in case the department goes
further for land acquisition. Thhe final compensation should be decided with consent with the PAFs and as per the
RFTLARR 2013.
Land Cost Estimation
Total Area (Sq mts) Avg. Cost of land per Sq mts Total cost (Rs in crores)
3109.01 sq mts Rs 3.95 Rs 121.25
Compensation can be given as per RFCTLARR Act 2013 or as per populated demand of minimum four times of the
circle rate since the land belongs to urban area. Hence, total estimated cost of the proposed land is approx. Rs
121.25 crores as per circle rates year 2019.

CHAPTER VIII: PUBLIC HEARING
THIS SECTION OF THE REPORT WILL BE PREPARED AFTER PUBLIC HEARING.
55 | P a g e
CHAPTER IX: RECOMMENDATIONS
After careful analysis of the data collected through questionnaire, interview with the PAFs and meetings with
the officials and elected representatives the project team has developed some recommendations.
A detailed project report should be prepared with details regarding the socio- economic development of
the people of the villages from where land has to be acquired.
Most of the PAFs shared that they do not want to sell their land. However, they agreed to cooperate with
the Land acquisition department for 2.5 m of land for the construction of six lane Dadra- Tighra road.
Hence the department should consider this.
Some of the PAFs shared that they are ready to sell their land in lieu of land of same size in the same area.
The department should make provisions in this regards as per the provisions of RFCTLARR.
Alternatives such as over bridge and bypass road from the canal area were suggested by majority of the
PAFs during the public consultation.
The compensation amount should be four times the circle rate since the land belongs to rural area, as per
the provisions of RFCTLARR 2013 and with the consent of people.
