ENVIRONMENTAL AND RESETTLEMENT MANAGEMENT
PLAN FOR MAINTENANCE ROADS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project (TNRSP) is an endeavour of the Highways Department (HD),Government of Tamil Nadu, to carry out upgradatAon of 732 2 km and maintenance of another 2600 kmof state roads with World Bank (WB) loan assistance.
The project preparation for the TNRSP began with the Strategic Options Study (SOS) in 1995. ProjectCo-ordinating Consultants led by M/s. Kinhill Pty. Ltd. (now part of Haliburton group), Australia wereprocured in 1997 to prepare and assist the PIU in the design and construction stages of the project.Feasibility Studies, including engineering analysis and design, social and environmental screening andeconomic evaluation were carried out. Based on the findings of these studies, corridors identified formaintenance works are listed in Table-1.

HD is the executing agency for this project and will be responsible for the overall preparation,
implementation and operation of the project. Construction work wvill be supervised by the Divisional
offices of the HD and shall be carried out by contractors selected under national competitive bidding
framework.
1.2.1 SCREENING METHODOLOGY AND CORRIDOR SELECTION
'l'he screening analysis was done by taking the following factors:
* Land acquisition
* Clearing of squatters and encroachers
* Relocation of Common property resources
* Encroachment on to Environmental Resources:
- Reserved forests
- \W'ildlife Sanctuaries, National lParks, bird sanctuaries and blosphcre reserves
- \XWater bodies and other environmentally sensitive areas
- Landslides
In case of hligher magnitude the corridors are excluded from mailntenlanice component. 'l'he screeninlg
guidelines wvill be used in case of maginitude of impacts could not be readily perceived, the corridors
should be recommended for further analysis as per the impact magnitudes givei in the Table-1 of
Appendix I(A). Figure 1.1 showvs the methodiology adopted for selection of maintenance corridors.
Corridors likely to have adverse environmiiienltal impacts will be excluded from consideration, screened as
per the exclusion criteria mention:ed in Appendix -I(B) 'Ihe 1-Engineer of design consultants for
mainitenianice corridors shall carry out this task Corridors obtained aftcr cxclusion and are likely to have
millor impacts have to be subjected to anialysis as per Appendix - I(A) by the H-ID. Corridors for wvhicli
impacts could not be readily quantified, but could be takenLi up wVith mitigationl measures, approximate
costs ot mitigation shiall be worked out and priority of corrildois ha\ c to be decided by the I-Il). Final
coriidors so obtained shall be selected for maintetnance

1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF MAINTENANCE
1.3.1 IMPACT ON PHYSICAL RESOURCES
Though no significant earthwork is expected due to the proposed maintenance activities, there wvould be
a requirement of borrow materials for the project The collection of material required from borrow pits
and quarry sites shall be as per IRC guidelines. Yields from the existing borrow pits and quarries are
sufficient to meet the requirement for construction of the road. 'rherefore no adverse impacts on
physical resources due to the maintenance works are anticipated.
1.3.2 IMPACT ON FLORA
As maintenance of the corridors does not include any land take no adverse impact on the roadside
plantation or the flora outside the Corridor of Impact is anticipated. The only impact likely is clearing of
vegetation and ground cover within the existing formation, which may need to be removed at certain
locations. No direct adverse impact on flora is expected
1.3.3 IMPACT ON FAUNA
The corridors included in maintenance are all existing alignments. None of the maintenance routes pass
through wildlife sanctuaries or national parks except Mundanthurai Wild life Sanctuary. However, there
is one location where spotted deer crossing is marked in a Reserve Forest (Km 73.8-75.8 Salem -
Vaniyambadi road). During the operation period, the impacts arise mainly from the increased
accessibility of the area, which can lead to increased human influence. Adequate safety measures have
been worked out for the minimisation of adverse impacts during construction.
1.3.4 IMPACT ON GROUND WATER RESOURCES
'l'he proposed works in case affects ground water resources as hand pumps, well etc. the resources lost
would be relocated through consultation with local people.
1.3.5 IMPACT ON HUMAN USE VALUES
As the pavement will be re-laid only within available clear space and no land take is involved, no severe
impacts on the roadside structures are envisaged. At some place few encroachments are (both
commercial and residential) marked withini the RoW. 'I'hese are at Km
12.2,12.4,12 6,21.2,22.6,23.6,25.4,28.2 & 28 4 of Dindigul Karur corridor. 84 number of encroached
structures are existing at Km (26.0-26 8), 328 (F.ncroachments at 1Km 31 0-34.0) & 68 (Fncroachmenits
at Km 38.0-43.6) at Frode Karur corridor. During construction, care shall be taken not to affect any
structure and mainteniance will be carried out within the available Ro\V
1.4 SOCIAL IMPACTS OF MAINTENANCE
No activity, wlvich miglht clnd up disturbing the existlng soclo-economillc Scttinig of the areas, is expected
to occur outside the clear space already available along the existing pavements In particular, the
followinig are expected not to occur eitlher during pre-conistructioni ol construction periods
j 6 l)cccinber 2002Im ,.
T amil Nadu Road Sector Project Environmental and Resettlcment Management Plan
1.4.1 LAND ACQUISITION
Since the construction activity is expected to occur only within the available clear space and existingformation width, there will be no land acquisition. Normally, there will not be even temporary landacquisition and the traffic will move within the constrained sections when hard shoulders are beingconstructed.
1.4.2 BUILDINGS
No private buildings will be affected though they may lie in the RoW Hard shoulders will be providedwithout affecting any private or public buildings.
1.4.3 UTILITIES
None of the roadside utilities, including but not limited to electricity lines, overhead telephone lines orunderground water pipelines, will be affected 'l'he project will ensure that the downstream users are notdeprived of the utility due to construction activities.
1.4.4 VERIFICATION OF IMPACTS
During implementation of RAP the implementing NGOs will carry out a joint verification wvith I-HD forthe affected properties and finally provide with exact number of properties, both land and structures tobe impacted by the project. 'l'hese numbers of affected properties will be certified and accordinglycompensation and assistances to the Entitled Persons (EP).
1.4.5 REQUIREMENT OF UNDERTAKING BY THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR
All compensation and assistances will be disbursed to EPs prior to their shifting for taking possessionof land for the construction activities. In this context the constructionl contractor should verify that hehas received the roads without any encumbrances and thereto provide with an undertaking to avoid anydelays in construction after handing over the lands.
1.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT MEASURES PROPOSED
Iaintenance component of the 'I'NRSl' is expected to bc far less intrusive in terms of environimenitaland social impacts. In order to mitigate any inconscquential impacts of the proposed improvements,elaborate arrangements have been made as part of the FEnvironmental and Social Managemenit P'lan
(ERMP). ''hese include, provision for the verification of the conditionis along each route, with spccificreference to roadside trees and properties by the contractor and the approval of the HD beforeconstructioni begins on any stretch In casc of th(e any propertics likely to be impacted, all th(e provisionsof the R&R policy for the TNRSP (see Appendix II for sallent features of the policy) shall beapplicable Construction can bcgini only aftcr dlsbursement of the entittlemenits for thc pelsonsl /properties being impacted. Mitigatiol measures for environmental impacts anticipated durinig theconstruction1 phase have also been detailcd along wilth the iesponsibilitics for implemenlitatiton and

APPENDIX I (B): SCREENING GUIDELINES FORENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES ALONG
MAINTENANCE CORRIDOR
As part of the TNRSP, about 2600 km of roads are proposed for maintenance component. This componentmvolves resurfacing of the blacktop in most cases. Maintenance in some stretches involves sub-base treatmentand grade corrections. Certain impacts are critical and mitigation would be expensive to be covered undermaintenance component and they have been identified as exclusion criteria These include:
* Land acquistion
* Clearing of squatters and encroachers
* Relocation of Common property resources
* Encroachment on to Environmental Resources:
* RIservcd forcsts
* Wildlife Sanctuaries, National Parks, bird sanctuaries and biospherc rescrves
* Water bodies and other cnvironmcntally sensitive areas
* Landslides
If the above impacts are of perceptibly higher magnitude, the respective corridors should be excluded undermaintenance. Incase of magnitude of impacts could not be readily perceived, the corridors should berecommended for further analysis as per the impact magnitudes given in the Table-i of Appendix VI(B) andpriority should be worked out based on the quantum of impacts analysed.

APPENDIX II: SOCIAL IMPACTS AND RESETTLEMENT:
PRINCIPLES AND POLICY FRAMEWORKS
DRAFT
1 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
1.1 BACKGROUND
The Government of Tamil Nadu is preparng the Tamil Nadu Road Sector Project with assistance from the
World Bank. The aim of the project is to improve the performance of the State's road transport network by
improving road conditions and capacity, and to improve the State's capacity to plan, develop and maintain the
Tamil Nadu road networks.
A selection of approximately 1,500 km. of road wll be included for rehabilitation under the project. Tlhese
roads wlll be improved with raising of formation of levels, pavement strengthening, and widening and
realignment where necessary. A number of bypasses may also be built.
This policy document describes the principles and approach to be followed in minimizing and mitigating
negative social and economic impacts caused by the project. A detailed and time-bound Resettlement Action
Plan will be prepared based on this policy document. The Action Plan will contain a census and baselne
socio-economic survey of the potentially affected population, as well as the institutional and organizational
mechanisms required to undertake the resettlement programme.
1.2 INDIAN AND WORLD BANK REQUIREMENTS REGARDING DISPLACEMENT
Government of India laws and guidelines require that assets lost through the exercise of Eminent Domaim be
compensated at market value, and that displaced people be assisted in reestablishing their homes and
livelihoods. Similar principles apply in all World Bank financed projects. 'lhe Bank's policy is described in
Operational Directive 4.30 on Involuntary Resettlement T his policy document states that involuntary
resettlement is an integral part of project design, and should be dealt with from the earliest stages of project
preparation.
Both Indian and World Bank guidelines related to resettlement aim at achieving the following overall goals
* Involuntary resettlement shall be avoided or minimized where feasible, explorinig all viable
alternative project designs.
* Where displacement is unavoidable, people losing assets, livelilhood or other resourccs shall be
assisted in improving or at a miiilmum regaining their former status of living at no cost to
thetinselves.

1.3 THE NEED FOR RESETrLEMENT IN THE PROJECT
Most of the infrastructure work planned for the Road Sector Project wllU take place within the establishedRight of Way (RoW), and major land acquisition is not foreseen. However, initial studies show that the RoWis not free from encumbrances. The public land is encroached upon by people cultivating land within theRoW. It is likely that numbers of these squatters and encroachers wllU have to be displaced as part of theproject. While these squatters and encroachers are generally not entitled to legal compensation for land theyhave occupied, the project will give targeted support to ensure that people are able to maintain shelter andlivelihood, and be compensated for non-land assets lost as a result of the project'.
Limited land acquisition is expected in cases where curve straightening or bypasses make it necessary tochange the existing road alignment and acquire new land
2 IMPACTS AND ENTTLEMENTS
2.1 TYPES OF IMPACT TO BE ADDRESSED
This policy addressed development-induced impacts caused by the project, and is not limited to physicalrelocation. Initial studies and experience elsewhere indicate that there are three broad categories of social andeconomic impacts, which require mitigation in this project.
* Loss of assets, including land and house
* Loss of livellhood or income opportunities
* Collective impacts on groups, such as loss of common property resources
The first two categories represent direct project impacts on an identified population. 'T'he affected people willbe surveyed and registered, and project monitoring and evaluation wlll compare long term impact againstbasehne socio-economic data. 'I'he third category represents an indirect impact, where group members neednot be mdividually registered. Gains and losses of a group-onented nature are not quantifiable in terms ofimpact on the individual. Mtigation and support mechanisms will be collectively oriented, and the monitoringof these development efforts will be the impact and benefits for the groups involved.
l World Bank policy does not require legal compensation for land encroached or squatted upon. In India, however, itis customary to grant legal title to squatters and encroachers who have been in occupation for a certain period.The exact nature of this support varies from state to state. A draft national policy on resettlement currently underconsideration by the Central Government proposes granting title to all who have been in occupation five years ormore.

T'amil Nadu Road Sector Project R&R Policy and Framework
2.3 SUPPOR PRINCIPLES FOR DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF IMPACTS
Loss OF ASSETS
The project may cause people to lose productive land or houseplots, structures, wells, trees or other assets
The project will therefore compensate and replace lost assets at their replacement cost, defined as the amount
required for the affected person to replace the lost assets through purchase in the open market. 'lThe
entitlement unit for such assistance is the household or family.
To the extent possible the Project wllU aim at obtaining land through negotiating purchase prices witlh the
sellers, acting as a buyer in the open market. Only if mutual agreement can not be reached about a purchase
price, will the Land Acquisition Act and the Government's right of Eminent Domain be invoked.
Existing records of land transaction and other official documents pertaining to the value of various assets are
generally not reliable as indicators or real value 'fhe Indian Land Acquisition Act stipulates that additional
compensation known as solatium is to be paid on top of the registered value of land and other assets, in
recognition of the involuntary nature of the acquisition. However, it may still be insufficient to reach real
replacement cost, or it may overvalue assets unnecessarily. 'T'he project will therefore objectively establish the
real replacement cost of assets to be required. This will be done through conducting a Land Market Value
Survey, and through compiling and comparing other available sources of information.
Experience shows that cash compensabon carries a high risk and is normally inadequate in helping poor and
vulnerable groups reestablish their lost assets, particularly in the case of productive land. Wealthier or more
resourceful people, on the other hand, may prefer compensation which in their case does not entail a risk. T he
project will therefore provide the option of compensation m kind as well as other support mechanisms to
those deeme&as vulnerable or at risk. Replacement land of equal or better productive value will be offered as
an option to those losing substantial amounts of land (i.e., 25% of their holdings or more), or where loss of
land threatens the economic viability of the household.
T'he costs of compensation for land and other assets acquired for civil works or other purposes are to be
borne by-the State Government, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Indian Land Acquisition
Act The WVorld Bank has not financed such costs in any of its projects, and is unable to do so in this project.
However, any additional costs related to resettlement, capacity building, and other activities required to
implement the Resettlement Action l'an, may be covered under the loan T'his may in certainl cases include
additional support mechanisms other thani legal compensatioi for land, to ensure that affected people blenefit
from the project and do not suffer any net losses.
Loss of house and shelter
People losinig thelr home represclt a particulai challenige in the resettlemiienlt programme Elvery effort will be
mnade by the project to ensure that new hlous-ing is available before people aic requlred to relocate
I)cccmbcr 2002
T'amd Nadu Road Scctor Project R&R Policy and Framework
The project involves lnear resettlement, where narrow strips of land are affected along the road corridor.Large population clusters are therefore not likely to be affected by the project. The preferred approach is toassist people to move back and away from the Corridor of Impact, without having to move far away anddisrupting local networks and support mechanisms.
If it is found that clusters of people have to be relocated, the project wiU provide new housing in aresettlement site approved by the affected people, with adequate infrastructure and utilities. This will beprovided as an option, although people may still choose self-relocation if they wish. In that case,compensation and other support should be provided to them, and the project should assist and facilitate theirresettlement process.
If resettlement sites are developed as part of the project, the local "host population" will also be consultedabout their views and needs, and be given appropriate support to reduce any negative impact caused by aninflux of new people.
Loss of livelihood or income opportunities
In some case s, the displacement caused by the project may lead to loss of livelihood or income opportunities,either temporarily or permanently. In such cases, assistance will be given to the affected populaton toreestablish their livelihood and income, and to compensate for temporary losses. The unit of entitlementeligible for support in such cases will be the adult individual, both men and women. All adult members ofhouseholds affected in this way will be eligible for support.
In the case of road projects, a common loss is the displacement of a business structure such as a smallroadside shop. The project will assist such business in relocating, and continuing their preferred occupationwithout loss of customer base.
If the project impact leads to people being unable to continue with their previous occupation, the prQoect willprovide support and assistance through alternative employment strategies. \Vhere possible, project affectedpeople wllU be given employment in opportunities created by the project, such as work with construction ormaintenance. Longer-term earning opportunities will be provided through strategies such as vocationaltraining, employmcnt counsehng, inclusion in income generating schemes, and access to credit
Group-based development opportunities
In addition to the direct losses of assets or hvelihood, the project is likely to have mol e indirect impacts on thepopulation living in thc viciniity of the road corridor. While many of these impacts are positive, some arenegative and should be mitgated. 'Ihese may include impacts on traffic safety, access to water and sanitation,access to common property resources, and impacts on non-mnotorized tiansport such as pedestrians, bullockcarts, etc. increased long-distanice traffic has been shownI to lead to increase int AIDS and other SexuallyTransmitted Diseascs Community-owned assets such as schools and temiiples may also be affectcd by theproject.
B &lIDcccnbcr 2002
Tamld Nadu Road Sector Projcct R&R Policy and Framcwork
Through designs, provision of infrastructure, and other support mechanisms, the project will replace lost
assets and minimize any negative impact on groups, particularly groups which are considered vulnerable Even
where there is no discernible negative impact, the project will seek to benefit the local population, for example
by providmg bus stops where none existed previously.
If the project affects tribal groups living in the vicinity of the road corridor, special attention wil be paid to
develop support mechanisms which are culturally appropriate to the affected tribal groups. In such cases,
Government of Indca and World Bank polcies related to tribal groups and Indigenous Peoples will be
followed.
2.4 TARGETED SUPPOR TO VULNERABLE GROUPS
For the purposes of this project, different criteria and categories of vulnerability have been defined. As a
margin of safety, people earning up to a certain percentage level above the officially recognized poverty hne
within the State will be considered at risk in this context, and included among the vulnerable groups eligible
for targeted support. Increasing the margin and eliglbility criteria in this manner is done in recognition of the
difference between existing development programmes for the poor, where the poverty level may serve as cut-
off point for eligibility, and this type of project, where the impacts from the project itself may lead people to
suffer a reduction in living standards. 'I'hus, a safety margin is provided, to ensure that adequate support to all
people deemed as potentially vulnerable or at risk.
Through census surveys and other studies, the project will determme who among the affected population may
be considered as vulnerable or at risk, or who are hkely to be excluded from the normal benefits of growtl
and development. Vulnerable groups may include but not be limited to
* Poor or landless people
* Scheduled tribes and castes
* Women-headed households
* Children and the elderly
* Disabled people
Different impacts will affect these groups differeintly, depending on the reason for thleir vulnerability under the
project. Children may be particularly at risk in terms of traffic safety, for example whlile poor people may be at
risk of losing economic viability if thcy lose agricultural land
For the purposes of this project, those considered as poor will be members of any houselhold earning up to
twenty-five percent more than the official state poverty level in Tlamil Nadu Since the project may cause
temporary or permanent loss of income, even tihose earninlg slightly more thatn the poverty level are at risk,
thus the vulnerability criterionl is set to poverty level plus 25 percent,
Vulnerable groups will receive targeted support and special attentiion from thc project, and be provided wvith
more optionis and support meclhanlism thanl thoset not considered vulnerable. '*hc Issue of optiotns is discussed
in the next section

2.5 OPTIONS AND CHOICES
The project wlfl provide options and choices among different entitlements to the affected population As partof the consultation and participation mechanisms, people will be informed and consulted about the projectand its impacts, and their entitlements and options.
Affected population will be counseled so they are able to make informed choices among the options provided.The project will therefore undertake a risk benefit analysis of each of the options and support mechanisms,and explain benefits and potential nsks to the affected population. This will be done particularly in the case ofthe vulnerable mdividuals and groups, who wlll be encouraged to chose options which entail the lowest risk.
By allowing people to choose among different options, the project will seek to make people active participantsin the development process, and to achieve greater acceptance of the resettlement and rehabilitation efforts.
3 RESETTLEMENT PLANNING APPROACH
3.1 CORRIDOR OF IMPACT
Displacement under the project wllU be limited to the corridor required for the road and its safety zone. 'illiscorridor is referred to as the Corridor of Impact. Within this corridor, there should be no structures or other'hindrances.
The advantage to this approach is that such a corridor is easier to maintain free of encumbrances than the fullRight of Way. Since the density of structures and other encroachments is not very high close to the road, theneed for resettlement is reduced to less than a quarter of what would be required if the entire RoW were to becleared - with corresponding savings in cost and efforts.2
The project will ensure that those outside the Corridor of Impact but inside the Rlght of \XWay are notdisplaced during the lifetime of the pro)ect. If they are made to move during the lifetime of the project orwithin three years after the complction of the project, they will be considered eligible for the supportmechanisms available to people affected by the project.
It is recognized that this approach offers only a temporary solution, and does not adequately address thelonger-term needs of maintaining the lRght of Way clear, or of providitng the squatters and encroaclhers withthe security of tenure needed to improve their lives. 'l'he project xvill therefore investigate and attempt toachieve more permanent solutions, suclh as faciltating access to credit or other ways for squatters andencroacliers to obtain security of teniure
2An exception to limiting project displacement and resettlement benefits to a Corridor of Impact is in the cases wherea shift of alignment will require land acquisition. In such cases, a full Right of Way will be established, andcompensation at replacement cost pad to the landowners.

'I'amil Nadu Road Sector Project R&R Policy and Framework
3.2 PHASED APPROACH
By hmitspg displacement and the need for resettlement to the Corridor of Impact, exact identification of
affected population is not possible untl engineering designs have been completed A shift in alignment of a
meter may mean the difference between whether a person is considered affected or not
The World Bank and the Government of Tamil Nadu have agreed that dunng the appraisal process, final
designs will be prepared for approximately forty percent of the roads to be improved. This means that for
those roads, exact numbers, identities and socio-economic characteristics of the project affected population
will be made available and included in the Resettlement Action Plan. Estimates based on preliminary designs
and initial studies wllU be made for the remainder of the project. During the project implementation phase,
additional studies will be undertaken to update the Action Plans in coordmation with designs. Principles for
socio-economrc studies are described in the next section.

A social assessment will be undertaken for the project, in order to support participation and make explicit the
social factors affecting the development impacts and results. This social assessment will identify stakeholders
and key social issues, and formulate a participation and consultation strategy. It will specifically address the
issue of how vulnerable and excluded groups may benefit from the project.
CENSUS AND BASELINE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEYS
A full census will be undertaken to register and document the status of the potentially affected population
within the project impact area, their assets, and sources of lhvelihood '1'his census wilU cover 100% of the
affected population within the likely Corridor of Impact and a reasonable distance beyond, to ensure that
people and assets have been registered in case of a later shift in road alignment. Legal boundaries includitng the
Right of Way will be verified and certified
Following fnal designs, those within the Corridor of Impact will be considered eligible for support under the
project. lThis is likely to be a substantially lower number than those initially covered in the census.
The date of census will be the cut-off date for entitlements under the project, to determine who may be
entitled to support. People moving into the projcct area after this census datc will not be entitled to support It
is therefore importanit to undertake this census at the earliest possible date, to avoid an influx of new people
seeking benefits under the project in the cases where Land Acquisitioni will bc required, the date of the First
notification under law will be considered the cut-off date.
A limilted sample of the potentially affected population Will be studied in more detail to piovide the baseline
iniformnatioin against whichi project impacts w\ill be mcasured and evaluated 'lhis sample will be representative
of the differenit impact categories identified

3.4 COORDINATION BETWEEN CIVIL WORKS AND RESETTLEMENT
SCREENING AND PLANNING
Every effort wllU be made to reduce potential negative impacts of the project, both in terms of environment
and social issues. lThe project will therefore carefully coordinate the design process with the finds from
screening and studies related to socio-economic impacts and the environment, in order to minimize impacts
and maximize benefits.
When choosing among different design options, such as whether to construct a bypass or improve the road
through a built-up area, environmental and social mdlcators will be factored into the decision along with
technical and economical considerations.
IMPLEMENTATION
During project implementation, the resettlement programme wllU be coordinated with the completion of
designs and the likely timing of civil works. 'l1he project wilU provide adequate notification, counsehng and
assistance to affected people so that they are able to move or give up their assets without undue hardship
before civlil works are to start.
In the case of Land Acquisition, the Indian Land Acquisition Act constrains rules for the time required from
when people are first notified about the State's intent to acquire the land, to the time people are required to
vacate their holdings. '['he normal procedures for Land Acquisition will be followed in this project. Although
the Land Acquisition Act has a provision for emergency acquisition requiring shorter time, this clause wviU not
be invoked unless it is documented that an emergency exists and that it is not possible to follow the normal
procedure for Land Acquisition.
The project will ensure that civil works are not started on any road segment before compensation and
assistance to the affected population have been provided in accordance with this policy framework.
3.5 CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION PROCESS
Experience indicates that involuntary resettlement generally gives rise to severe problems for the affccted
population. 'T'hese problems may be reduced if, as part of a resettlement programme, people are properly
consulted about the project, their situation and preferences, and allowed to make meaningful choices. 'I'his
serves to reduce the insecurity and oppositiol to the pro)ject which othervise are likely to occur
'I'he project will therefore ensure that the affccted populatiol and other stakeholders are informed, consulted
in a meatinlgful way, and allowed to participate actively in the development process. 'I'his will be done
throughout the project, both dtiritg preparing, implemenitationi, and monitoring of prolect results and impact
'I'he consultation will be conducted in a way whlich is appiopriate for cultural, gender-based, and otlher
differences among the stakcholders. \Where different groups or tindlviduals have different views or opillions,
particular emphasis will be put on1 thc vicws an(d nceds of the mote vulnerable groups.

3.6 INSTUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
'The Resettlement Action Plan will contain detailed information about institutional and organizationalmechanisms required to implement the plan. A Project Implementation Unit (PIU) wvl1 have responsibility for
coord inatng resettlement along with other project components, and will be staffed with people withexperience in resettlement and social development.
This project implementation will require coordination among different agencies, working in different districtsand jurisdictions. This presents particular challenges, and may pose a risk of delays m implementation of theresettlement programme. An assessment will therefore be made of institutional capacity and risks. This
assessment will be described in the Resettlement Action Plan, accompanied by a strategy for developing therequired capacity and minimize implementation risks 'T'his will include analysis of trainmg needs and a plan fortraining of personnel at different levels. Such capacity building will be coordinated with the overall projectimplementation schedule, to ensure that skllUed staff are available to implement the Resettlement Action Planwithout causing delays to civil works
Since much of the work related to resettlement involves social development and community participation, theproject wilU work with agencies experienced in this type of work, such as NGOs.
Consideration wlll also be given to coordinating with other development programmes, such as vulnerablegroups' housing schemes or rural development NGOs, in order to provide the project affected population
with access to services and programmes already in place.
Whiule consultancy services will be used in preparing and implementing this project, an important objective isto develop local capacity to plan and implement resettlement programmes. 'I'he project wlli thereforedocument how capacity building at different levels is achieved, and how this project contributes to improvedsector-level or State-level policies and practices related to resettlement in the State.
3.7 COSTS AND BUDGETS
'I'he Resettlement Action Plan will contain a consolidated overview of estimated costs 'I'his will consist of an
item-wise budget estimate for resettlement implementation, including administrative expense, monitoring and
evaluation, and contingencies 'I'he cost of rcsettlement will be included in the overall costs of the project
Compensationl amounits and other support mechaniisms will be adjusted based on inflation factors 'I'hc budget
will incorporate provisions for this, and the Resettlement Action Plan will describe how such adjustments and
updates to the budget are to be made
Experience from similar projects show that resettlement costs in road projects ate low compared with overall
project costs. Delays or inadequacies in implementing the rescttlement programmlllle may however lead to costly
delays in oveiaU project implemnltation , since progress in civil woiks depenids on satisfactory completionl of
the resettlement programnic
Iw D)ccnr l)ir200)2
Tami Nadu Road Scctor Project R&R l'olcy and Framework
The State of Tamil Nadu will pay for costs related to Land Acquisition and compensation for transfer of titleto property from private individuals to the State. Other support mechanisms, such as training, capacitybuilding, income generating schemes etc., can be covered through the funds provided through the expectedWorld Bank loan.
3.8 GRIEVANCE REDRESS
It is expected that through a participatory process and good compensation and support mechanisms,acceptance of the project wlll be enhanced and complaints reduced. There may nevertheless be individuals orgroups who feel that they are not given adequate support, or that their needs are not properly addressed. Theproject wiU therefore establish a Grievance Redress process with local committees which wiUl hear complaintsand facilitate solutions. This Grievance Redress process wlll be used to settle disputes through mediation, andto reduce unnecessary litigation.
'llie Resettlement Action Plan wlll describe the step-by-step process for registering and addressing grievanices,and provide details regardmg registering complaints, response tomes, communication modes, and mechanismsfor approaching civil courts if there provisions fail.
In addition to local Government officials and representatives of the project, each Grievance RedressCommittee will have representation from the local affected population and collaborating agencies.
3.9 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
'I'he Resettlement Action Plan will contain indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives underthe resettlement programme. 'T'hese indicators and benchmarks will be of three kinds:
* Output indicators, indicating results in terms of numbers of affected people compensated andresettled, training held, credit disbursed, etc.,
* Impact indicators, related to the longer-term effect of the project on people's lives
'T'he benchmarks and indicators will be limited in number, and combine quantitative and qualitative types ofdata
'l'he First two types of indicators, related to process and immediate outputs and results., wllt be monitoredinternially by the project. 'I'his information will serve to inform project management about progress andresults, and to adjust the work programme where necessary if delays or problems arise 'Ihe rcsults of thismonitorinig will be summarized in reports which will be submitted to the WN/orld Bank on a regular basis
Provision will be made for particlpatory monitoritng involvinig thc prolect affected people and beneficiaries ofthe rescttlem:ienit programme in assessing results and impacts.

'Tamtl Nadu Road Sector Project R&R Policy and Framework
The project will also contract with an external agency such as an academic institute, which wllU undertake
independent evaluations at least twice during the lifetime of the project: As an input to a mid-term review, and
as a longer-term impact evaluation as an mput to a 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.

No borrow area shall be opened without permission of the Engineer. 'T'he borrowing shall not be carried out
in cultivable lands, unless and until, it shall be agreed upon by the Engineer that there is no suitable
uncultivable land in the vicimty for borrowing, or there are private land owners willng to allow borrowing on
their fields. It wlll be ensured by the contractor that, there will be no loss of productive soil and the requisite
environmental considerations are met with.
Location of source of supply of material for embankment or sub-grade and the procedure for excavation or
transport of material shall be in compliance with the environmental requirements of the MoEF, MoSl' and as
specified in IRC: 10-1961. Redevelopment of borrowed areas will need to be taken up to mitigate the impacts.
1.2 CONSTRUCTION STAGE
To avoid any embankment slippage, the borrow areas will not be dug continuously. In case borrow areas other
than specified are selected, the size and shape of borrow pits wilU be decided by the Supervision Consultant.
Borrowing of earth shall be carried out at locations recommended as per IRC: 10-1961 whose salient features
are described below:
Non-Cultivable Lands: Borrowing of earth wilU be carried out upto a depth of 1.0 m from the existing
ground level. Borrowing of earth shall not be done continuously. Ridges of not less than 8m width shall be left
at intervals not exceeding 300 m. Small drains shall be cut through the ridges, if necessary, to faclitate
drainage. Borrow pits shall have slopes not steeper than 1 vertical in 4 horizontal.
Public or Private Agricultural Lands: Borrowing of earth shall not be carried out on productive lands.
However, in the event of borrowing from productive lands, topsoil shall be preserved in stockpiles. 150mm of
the top soil shall be stripped off from the area designated for borrowing and it shall be stored in stock piles in
a designated area for heiglht not exceeding 2m and side slopes not steeper than 1 2 At such locations, the
depth of borrow pits shall not exceed 45 cm and it may be dug out to a depth of not more thani 30 cim aftcr
strippinig the 15 cm top soil aside.
Borrow pits on the riverside: 'T'he borrow pit should be located not less than 15m from the toe of the bank,
distance depenldinig on the magnitude and duration of flood to be witlhstood. lPrecautionary mcasures like the
coverinig of vehicles will be takenl to avoid spillage during transport of bortow materials. 'l'o cnsure that thre
spills likely to result from the transport of borrow and quarry mateiials do not impact the settlements, it will
be enlsured that the excavation and carrying of eartlh will be done durilng day time only. 'I'he unpaved surfaces
used for the haulage of borrow materials will be maintainied properly. [hc contiactor shall evolve site-specific
redevelopment plans for each borrow area location, wlhich shall be implemnentcd after thc approval of the
cngineer
