CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL

The Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project (PMP) has been envisaged on the

Mahakali River (known as Sarada in India) where the river forms the

international boundary between India and Nepal, dividing the Far Western

Development Region of Nepal from the Uttrakhand State in India. The main

dam at Pancheshwar is proposed across the Mahakali River, 2.5 km

downstream of the confluence of river Sarju with Mahakali River and, about 70

km upstream of the Tanakpur town (India).

It is a bi-national scheme, primarily aimed at energy production. In addition,

the Project aims to enhance the food grains production in both the countries

by providing additional irrigation resulting from the augmentation of dry

season flows. Due to moderation of flood peaks at reservoir(s), incidental

flood control benefits are also envisaged from the project.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 2

1.2 THE MAHAKALI TREATY-1996

Recognizing that the Mahakali River is a boundary river on major stretches

between the two countries, a treaty (known as the “Mahakali Treaty”) was

signed on February 12, 1996 between His Majesty’s Government of Nepal and

the Government of India concerning the integrated development of the

Mahakali River including Sarada Barrage, Tanakpur Barrage and

Pancheshwar Project. The center-piece of the treaty was “Pancheshwar

Multipurpose Project” which both sides agreed to implement in accordance

with the Detailed Project Report jointly prepared by them.

The main principles enshrined in the Treaty, on which the Pancheshwar

Multipurpose Project is to be designed and implemented, are summarized as

under:

Both Parties have equal entitlement in the utilization of the waters of the

Mahakali River without prejudice to their respective existing

consumptive uses of the waters of the Mahakali River.

Water requirements of Nepal shall be given prime consideration in

utilization of the waters of the Mahakali River. Both the parties shall be

entitled to draw their share of waters of the Mahakali River from the

Tanakpur Barrage and/or other mutually agreed points.

The Project shall be designed to produce the maximum total net

benefit. All benefits accruing to both the Parties with the development

of the Project in the forms of power, irrigation, flood control etc., shall be

assessed.

The P roject shall be implemented as an integrated project including

power stations of equal capacity on each side of the Mahakali River

and the total energy generated shall be shared equally between the

Parties.

Cost of the project shall be borne by the parties in proportion to the

benefits accruing to them. Both the Parties shall jointly endeavour to

mobilize the finance required for the implementation of the Project.

A portion of Nepal’s share of energy shall be sold to India. The

quantum of such energy and its price shall be mutually agreed upon

between the Parties.

Further, in the letters dated 12 February, 1996 exchanged by the two

Governments along with the Mahakali Treaty, the principles for assessment of

project benefits during the preparation of the Detailed Project Report of the

Project are also deliberated as under:

Net power benefit shall be assessed on the basis of, inter alia, saving

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 3

in costs to the beneficiaries as compared with the relevant alternatives

available,

Irrigation benefit shall be assessed on the basis of incremental and

additional benefits due to augmentation of river flow, and

Flood control benefit shall be assessed on the basis of the value of

works saved and damaged avoided (to both sides of the river).

Besides the above, Nepal is entitled to draw 1000 cusec of water in

monsoon season and 150 cusec in the dry season from Sarada Barrage

(through its irrigation canal) at Banbasa under Article-1 of the Treaty. This

water drawn from Banbasa barrage provides irrigation to a command area of

11,600 ha; known as Mahakali Irrigation Project (stage-I & II) in Nepal. In

addition, another 1000 cusec of Mahakali water in the wet season and 300

cusec of water in the dry season has been committed under Article-2 of the

Treaty from the Tanakpur Barrage.

Under Article-1 (2) of the Treaty, it was further agreed that India shall maintain

a flow of not less than 10 m3/s (350 cusecs), downstream of the Sarada

Barrage, into the Mahakali River, to maintain and preserve the river eco-

system.

Further, the local communities living along both sides of the Mahakali River

shall be entitled to use of the waters of the Mahakali River, not exceeding five

(5) percent of the average Annual flow at Pancheshwar under Article-7 of the

Treaty.

The Pancheshwar DPR has been prepared keeping the above guiding

principles in consideration and the benefits from the Project which are likely to

be accrued to each Party, are assessed clearly in accordance with the letters

dated 12.02.1996 exchanged by the two Governments along with the Mahakali

Treaty.

1.3 PANCHESHWAR DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

Pursuant to the Article-10 of the Mahakali Treaty, it was agreed that, both the

Parties may form project specific joint entity for the development, execution

and operation of new projects including Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project in

the Mahakali River for their mutual benefit. Accordingly, at the 3rd meeting of

the Joint Committee on Water Resources (JCWR) headed by the water

resources secretaries of India and Nepal, held in November 2009, it was

decided to set up the Pancheshwar Development Authority, an independent

autonomous body, to finalize the Pancheshwar Detailed Project Report and

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 4

expedite the implementation of the Project.

The Authority was set up in August 2014, having two Co-Chairpersons, one

from each side, and twelve Members (six Members from each side), which

would be working as a Governing Body of the Authority. Among others, the

Ambassadors of Nepal to India and India to Nepal shall be permanent invitees

at the meeting of the Governing Body. The Composition of Governing Body of

Pancheshwar Development Authority (PDA) is given in Table-1.1.

1.4 HISTORY OF THE PROJECT

The Pancheshwar dam site was first identified during the hydroelectric survey

of potential sites on the Mahakali River conducted by the erstwhile Central

Water and Power Commission of India in 1956. A storage type development for

power generation was envisaged at that time.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 5

In the year 1962, State Government of Uttar Pradesh carried out preliminary

field investigations with the assistance of the Survey of India and Geological

Survey of India. Based upon the field investigations carried out and data

collected by U.P. Irrigation Department, a project report of the scheme was

prepared by WAPCOS INDIA LIMITED in November 1971. The report

suggested a concrete gravity dam with a crest at an elevation 638 m a s l or a

height from the river bed of about 232 m.

In order to develop the feasibility study of the scheme and to decide about

further investigations to be carried out, a Joint Group of Experts (JGE) of India

and Nepal was constituted in the year 1978. Detailed investigations on Indian

side to formulate the scheme were initiated by Central Water Commission

(India) in July, 1981.

During the 3rd JGE meeting held in April, 1984, it was decided that the

feasibility report would be prepared jointly but the investigations required for the

study be carried out independently by India and Nepal in their respective

territories. The Nepal side appointed consultants with the financial assistance

of the International Development Agency (IDA) to carry out field investigation

works at feasibility level. On the Indian side these investigations were carried

out by Central Water Commission (CWC) with the help of Survey of India,

Geological Survey of India (GSI), Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Central

Soil and Materials Research Station (CSMRS), New Delhi and Central Water

and Power Research Station (CWPRS), Pune.

During 5th meeting of the Joint Group of Experts (JGE) held in March, 1991,

field data collected by both sides were exchanged and data gaps were

identified. It was decided to prepare and finalize a mutually acceptable Project

Definition Report (PDR) to outline the project parameters. Based on the data

collected by both sides, draft Project Definition Report(s) identifying the basic

characteristics of the project, its preliminary benefits and costs was prepared

by both India and Nepal independently and made available to either side for

further discussions.

During the goodwill visit of the Nepalese Prime Minister to India in December

1991, an understanding was reached between the two Countries to prepare a

Joint Detailed Project Report, at Feasibility level.

The 6th meeting of Joint Group of Experts of India and Nepal (JGE) on

Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project was held in February 1992 to discuss the

data gaps in field investigations and modalities for preparation of the Detailed

Project Report. An action plan was drawn and the work of preparation of

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 6

Detailed Project Report was assigned by distributing the subject chapters

between the two sides. The additional field investigations that were identified in

the 6th meeting of JGE were completed in December 1993. These field

investigations comprised mainly of topographical surveys, geological

explorations, seismological studies, in-situ rock tests, construction material

surveys, etc. The Indian side completed the assigned chapters and sent to His

Majesty's Government of Nepal (HMG/N) in 1994 for review. Based on the

information contained therein, a draft Detailed Project Report (DPR) was

prepared by HMG/N in 1995 and forwarded to Government of India in July/

August 1996 for their comments. After examination of the draft DPR, three

meetings of Joint Group of Experts followed by two meetings at the level of

Technical officials were held and the contents thereof were discussed to arrive

at a mutually agreed solution.

In the 11th JGE meeting held in March 1999, it was agreed in principle to

establish a Joint Project Office - Pancheshwar Investigation (JOP-PI) at

Kathmandu along with Field Offices, as required, to conduct additional field

investigations for the Re-regulating dam and studies for preparation of Detailed

Project Report jointly. Accordingly, the JPO-PI was established at Kathmandu

in December 1999. The Division office at Tanakpur and three sub-division

offices viz. at Pancheshwar for main dam, at Tamli for Rupaligad site and at

Thuligad for Purnagiri site were established in May 2000. The personnel from

both India and Nepal were deployed to conduct additional field investigations

and studies for preparation of Detailed Project Report jointly.

Due to submergence of Rangun khola valley in Nepal, the Govt. of Nepal did

not agree to locate the re-regulating dam at Purnagiri site and insisted to

construct the regulating dam at Rupaligad only to store the Pancheshwar

powerhouses’ releases during peak hours and release them from Rupaligad

round the clock, to meet the irrigation water requirement downstream. To

resolve the issue pending for last more than ten years, the Indian side agreed

to the Nepalese request to locate the re-regulating dam at Rupaligad site in the

3rd meeting of the Joint Committee on Water Resources (JCWR) held in

November, 2009 at Pokhara (Nepal).

Rupaligad dam site- downstream axis

1.5 PROJECT LOCATION

The Pancheshwar main dam site is proposed about 2.5 km downstream of the

confluence of Sarju with the Mahakali River, a primary tributary of the

Mahakali from India. Here, the Mahakali river flows in a narrow V -shaped

gorge, flanked by 45 degree slopes rising more than 1,000 m above the river

bed. A re-regulating dam is proposed downstream of main dam to even out

peaking out flows from Pancheshwar power houses for meeting irrigation water

requirement and to exploit hydro potential of the basin below Pancheshwar. For

this purpose, two alternative locations were identified; one at Rupaligad, 25 Km

downstream of main dam and other at Purnagiri, 61 Km downstream main

dam. Finally, the Rupaligad site has been selected for re-regulating dam.

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 8

An Index Map showing location of main dam and re-regulating dam is

presented in the Figure-1.1.

Figure-1.1: Index Map of the Project

The project structures, including the reservoir area, lie in Champawat,

Pithoragarh, Bageshwar and Almora districts of Uttaranchal state in India and

in Baitadi and Dharchula districts of Far Western Development Region in

Nepal. The entire area directly covered by the project structures and the

proposed reservoir is located between 29°25'0" and 29°47'30" latitude N and

79°55'0" and 80°35'0" longitude E.

1.6 MAHAKALI RIVER BASIN

The Mahakali River originates from the Lipulekh glacier at an elevation of about

7,820 m in the Himalayas. The river flows steeply through a complex sequence

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 9

of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks of the High and Inner Himalayan

physiographic provinces and then passes through the Lower Himalayan

province (Mahabharat and Siwalik ranges) before emerging onto the Gangetic

plain in the Terai region.

The Mahakali (Sarada) basin up to the Pancheshwar dam site has a total

catchment area of 12,276 km2, located between 29°20'30" and 30°35'30"

latitude N and 79°20'30" and 81°9'45" longitude E. Out of the total catchment,

an area of 9,720 km2 of the river catchment lies in India, and 4,456 km2 in

Nepal.

During its course, the river carries the flows from several major tributaries

including the Dhauli Ganga (catchment 1357 km2), Gori Ganga (catchment

2300 km2) and Sarju (catchment 4019 km2) from India and the Chamaliya

(catchment:1572 km2) from Nepal. Other minor tributaries joining the Mahakali

River below Pancheshwar dam site are Lohawati & Ladhiya Rivers from India

and Surnayagad, Rupaligad, Sirsegad & Ragun Khola from Nepal before the

river emerges onto the Gangetic plains below the Purnagiri temple near

Tanakpur town. The total drainage area up to Purnagiri temple has been

worked out to be around 14,922 sq km, out of which 10,884 sq km area lies in

India and 4,038 sq km area in Nepal.

The upper reaches of the Mahakali River and of its various tributaries are

characterized by very steep drops. For instance in the first 100 km reach, the

river drops over 4900 m. In its middle and lower reaches it flows through

relatively gentle gradients providing favorable terrain for storage projects.

1.7 ACCESS

At present, the only access by road to the project area is through India. The all

weather 40 km long road from Lohaghat to the Mahakali River at Pancheshwar

was constructed by the State Public Works Department in 1971 to facilitate the

field investigations of the dam project taken up by the Indian side.

It is proposed to use the existing Tanakpur – Lohaghat - Pancheshwar road

(about 130 km) as the main access through India, for the pre- construction

activities of the project. The last portion of this road, approaching the actual

dam site that would eventually be submerged by the reservoir would be

suitably relocated according to the requirement of the permanent project

structures and of the construction planning.

At present, access to the site from Nepal is possible only by helicopter or by a

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 10

two-day, 60 km trek from the Patan village. The only existing vehicular access

to the far western development region of Nepal from the rest of the country is

the East - West Highway. The Dhanghari - Dadeldhura - Patan - Baitadi feeder

road, connects the project area to the East- West highway.

In order to gain access through Nepal for the transportation of construction

equipment, machinery, materials, etc. for the project; and for transport of

generating equipment to the Pancheshwar and Rupaligad Re-regulating dam

sites, a new road from Brahmdev to Pancheshwar along the left bank of

Mahakali River has been envisaged and detailed field investigations including

cost estimates have been undertaken by the Project Authority.

1.8 PROJECT FEATURES

As presently conceived, the project includes the following main structures:

A main rock fill dam at Pancheshwar, 315 m high from the deepest

foundation level, forming about 80 km long reservoir, with a surface area

of 116 km2 and a total gross storage volume of about 11.35 billion m3;

Spillway on the left bank (Nepal side of the river), designed to safely

discharge the estimated maximum river flow;

Two underground powerhouses, one on each bank, having a total

installed capacity of 4800 MW (2400 MW capacity on each bank);

A re-regulating dam downstream at Rupaligad site to even-out main dam

releases to achieve continuous river flow conditions;

Two Underground power houses at re-regulating dam having a total

installed capacity of 120 MW each.

The project will generate a total of 7678 GWh dependable power every

year at main dam complex; that will meet a substantial part of the energy

and peak power demand of the Northern India. The project would also

simultaneously cover the medium and long term energy requirements of

Nepal. In addition, 1438 GWh of dependable power would be generated

annually at Rupaligad dam power stations.

At the same time, the project will regulate the natural river flow, allowing

the year round irrigation of agricultural land in the Kanchanpur District in

Nepal, and meeting the existing and future water requirements of the

Indian irrigation systems. It is expected that an additional irrigation

potential of 1.70 lakh hactare in Nepal and 2.59 lakh hactare in the

Indian side would be created with augmented river flows in the post-

Pancheshwar scenario.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 1: Introduction Page 11

In addition, the project will have an incidental flood mitigation effect, reducing

risk of flooding along the lower course of the Mahakali (Sarada) river, both in

the Nepalese and Indian territories. It is expected to protect low lying areas in

Chandani-Dodhara villages along the west bank of Mahakali River in Nepal.

Further, around 10,000 hactare of area of district Pilibhit and 90,000 hactare in

the district Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh (India) are inundated almost every

five years in the Sarada basin due to floods in a stretch of 60 km of the river

which would get protection from floods of 25 years frequency, in the post-

Pancheshwar scenario.

CHAPTER – 2

ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT AFFECTED VILLAGES AND FAMILIES

2.1 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR ENYMERATION

The purpose of enumeration of affected properties and project affected families,

both secondary as well as primary sources of information was used. A

preliminary list of probable affected villages was prepared using submergence

area maps and Administrative Atlas for Uttarakhand, which was subsequently

verified and updated with the help of revenue officials. The khasra maps

collected from the Revenue Department were scanned and superimposed on

the project area/ submergence area map to delineate the affected/ impacted

zone. These maps were extensively used to delineate the plots or parcels of

land likely to be affected due to the process of land acquisition. A list of such

plots was prepared to correlate with ownership details through the RoRs.

2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AFFECTED VILLAGES

A total of 134 villages will be affected, of which 123 villages are affected in the

Pancheshwar MPDP (Refer Table-2.1) and 11 villages in the Rupaligad RDP

(Refer Table).

2.4 ENUMERATION OF PAFS AFFECTED DUE TO LAND ACQUISITION

After the affected/ impacted zone was delineation on the superimposed khasra

maps, a list of all the affected khasra/ plot numbers within the impacted zone

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 2: Assessment of Project Affected Villages and Families Page 9

was prepared. Thereafter, revenue records, viz., Right of Records (RoRs) were

collected for all the affected villages. The State of Uttarakhand has

computerized and uploaded RoRs on their website: www.devbhumi.uk.gov.in

which was collected and computerized for analysis. The RoRs provided

ownership details of land parcels within each affected village. The list of

affected land plots/ parcels was correlated with the RoRs to establish

ownership details of each affected land plots. Analysis of the RoRs lead to

enumeration of affected persons/ families/ land titleholders and information was

compiled to show PAFs likely to lose land only, land and homesteads and

homesteads only. The village-wise PAFs likely to lose land only, land and

homesteads and homesteads only for Pancheshwar MPP and Rupaligad RDP

are listed in Tables 2.8 and 2.9. The summary of number of PAFs likely to be

affected due to the project are given in Table-2.10.

CHAPTER – 4

DATA ANALYSIS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY

4.1 GENERAL

Most often, development projects are planned based on the availability of

exploitable natural resources. This attracts flow of finances, investments, jobs

and other livelihood opportunities, which brings in people from different cultural

and social background. Such planned activities not only provide impetus to the

local economy but also bring about a multi-dimensional economic, social and

cultural change. Most often it has been observed that such development

projects are commissioned in economically and socially backward areas.

Commissioning of a development project invariably brings about a number of

desired and undesired impacts along with it. The main aim of the of the study is

to provide services for conducting social and property survey for the

Pancheshwar Multi-purpose Project (PMP) in Uttarakhand. As part of the study,

socio-economic survey was conducted for the project affected families of

Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project. The baseline setting for socio-economic

aspects are outlined in the present Chapter.

4.2 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF PROJECT AFFECTED FAMILIES

4.2.1 Methodology Adopted for Socio-Economic Survey

Information for undertaking the socio-economic studies included both

secondary as well as primary data and information. Secondary data was

collected from the revenue department in the form of Right of Records (RoRs)

and Khasra (Cadastral) maps. Secondary source of information in terms of

existing reports, maps and other documents pertaining to the project. Primary

data and information was collected through interactions and consultations with

project affected families in the affected villages. Primary socio-economic

information from the stratified random 30% sample PAFs was gathered with the

help of survey tools, specially devised for this purpose. The primary information

from the sample PAFs was computerized and analyzed to draw inferences and

subsequently a socio-economic survey report was prepared.

A considerable time was spent in collation of information from the secondary

sources. Through desk research and review of maps from District Administrative

Atlas of Uttarakhand, a comprehensive list of probable affected villages was

prepared. In all there are 134 affected villages in districts Pithoragarh (87),

Champawat (26) and Almora (21). The project-wise list of project affected

The process of collation of information, such as record of rights (RoR) and

khasra maps, from the Revenue authorities was initiated and completed. The

team was met District Magistrates/ Collectors (DM/ DC) of districts Pithoragarh,

Champawat and Almora, and appraised them about the Pancheshwar

Multipurpose Project, the property and socio-economic study, information and

data required for the study, and requested assistance of the Revenue

Department to share the required information. Subsequent to the meeting,

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 6

respective DMs directed their officers and concerned staff to extend all possible

support and assistance. On the directions of the respective DMs, team

members met respective Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDM), Tehsildars,

Patwaris, Land Record Section Officer and Staff. The comprehensive list of

affected villages was verified and updated and subsequently revenue maps for

the affected villages were collected.

At headquarters, collected khasra maps were scanned and superimposed on the

submergence area map to delineate the affected/ impacted zone. Thereafter, a

list of all the plots/ khasra, likely to be acquired/ impacted was listed down. This

was extensively used to gather Right of Records (RoRs). The State of

Uttarakhand has computerized and uploaded RoRs on their website:

www.devbhumi.uk.gov.in which was used to collate RoRs of the affected

villages. These analyses led to enumeration of affected persons/ families/ land

titleholders likely to lose land, land and homesteads and homesteads only.

A list of affected persons/ families/ land titleholders was prepared, which was

used to identify them in the field for conducting socio-economic survey in the

affected villages. Thus, for the purpose of identification of PAFs in the affected

villages, this list of affected persons/ families/ land titleholders was used, and

30% stratified random sample survey of affected families was conducted.

For the process of primary data collection, a survey team comprising of local

educated youths was formed. It was ensured that the members of the survey

team (investigators/ surveyors) were educated, well acquainted with Hindi

language (as the schedules were to be filled-in this language) and at the same

time that they were well versed with the local customs and language. Training

was imparted to the members of the survey team, wherein they were appraised

about the purpose of the survey and on the method of consultations with the

affected families/ persons and how to use GPS and filled-in the survey schedule.

The survey team traversed the submergence area and dam alignment and

visited the affected villages for conducting the socio-economic survey. Based on

the list of project affected families prepared from the Khasra details, Survey

coordinator delineated the stratified random 30% sample of PAFs. A list of such

PAFs was prepared and shared by the investigators and used to identify the

PAFs in the field and canvass them. A considerable time was spent in reaching

many of these villages. Upon reaching the affected villages, they contacted

the Village Panchayat/ Panchayat member or secretary and appraised them

about the survey work and required information.

At the end of each day’s work the filled-in data checklists were cleaned for

internal discrepancies. The survey team coordinator ensured that the survey

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 7

team members eliminated the internal discrepancies and filled-in the missing

information in the survey schedules. The gathered information was thereafter

computerized. This keyed-in information/data was then analyzed and inferences

were drawn using Microsoft Excel computer software.

This socio-economic survey report has been prepared for the entire 134 project

affected villages and at the end of the survey, the survey team contacted 1965

project affected families as part of the stratified random sample survey.

4.2.2 Findings of Socio-economic survey

A total of 11776 families from 111 affected villages were covered as a part of

the survey in Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project.120 families from 11 affected

villages were surveyed for Rupaligad Project. Thus a total of 11896 families in

122 affected villages were covered as a part of the survey.

Religious affiliation

The village-wise religious orientation of the surveyed population is depicted in

Table-4.2 and Figure-4.1. Among the sample population, a large majority 99.53%

of the surveyed population follows the Hindu faith. Only 0.32% PAFs were

Mulsim. For the remaining data on their religious faith was not available. The

religious affiliation of 0.16% the surveyed families is not defined. In the

Rupaligad RDP the entire sample PAFs follows the Hindu faith.

Based on the findings of the survey, it is observed that the sex ratio amongst

the project affected families is 853 females per thousand males. The sex ratio

for Pancheshwar MPDP and Rupaligad project is 859/1000 males and

814/1000 males respectively.

In Pancheshwar MPDP low sex ratio (below 800 females/1000 males) was

observed in 58 villages. In Rupaligad, low sex ratio, it was observed in 7

villages. The sex ratio was observed to be between 800 and 1000 in 27

villages in Pancheshwar MPDP and 3 villages of Rupaligad RDP. Equal

percentage of male and female population was observed in Taremia, Kwerali,

Bathauli, Bursam Bari, Sibana, and Sigra, and village Nidil in Rupaligad. In all

there are 30 villages (29 in Pancheshwar MPDP and 1 village in Rupaligad

RDP) where in female population was more than male population. The village

d) Migration Pattern

The information on migration patterns and trend among the surveyed

population were also collected as a part of the study. The village-wise details of

resident and non-resident population are given in Table-4.5. The resident

population accounts for about 84.32% of the total population, and the remaining

(15.68%) is non-resident population (Refer Figure-4.3). During the survey, it

was gathered that the non-resident population had migrated to various places,

and have settled-down permanently or temporarily.

Figure-4.4 reflects that a large majority of the non-resident population has

migrated to various parts of the Uttarakhand, while 42.07% have migrated to

other states, i.e., Delhi, Punjab, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Chattisgarh,

Madhya Pradesh, etc. A small proportion (1.22%) of the non-resident

population has migrated abroad as well to countries like USA and Malaysia.

The reasons of migration from the villages are depicted in Figure-4.6. About

60.1% have migrated in search of jobs and vocations, 28.1% as a result of

marriage, mainly comprising of women-folk, and 4.8% who have migrated to

stay with their family members. About 7% comprising of students, have

migrated for educational purposes as well. A minuscule proportion (0.1%) has

migrated for training purposes.

Figure-4.5: Reasons for migration among sample population

e) Caste profile

As part of the socio-economic survey, information on caste profile of the

surveyed population was also gathered. The project area is dominated by the

General caste group comprising of Brahmins, Kshatriyas (Thakurs) and

Vaishyas, and account for about 83.13% of the total surveyed population. The

second largest group is that of scheduled castes who comprise 13.24% of the

total surveyed population. Backward Caste group constitutes 2.4% of the total

surveyed population. Scheduled Tribe population accounts for 0.15% of the total

surveyed population. About 1.09% of respondents did not disclose their caste

during the survey.

Out of the total surveyed population it has been observed that in the

Pancheshwar MPDP, large majority of the surveyed population 82.47% belonged

to the General Caste, followed by Scheduled Castes (13.69%), and Backward

Castes (2.54%). Scheduled Tribe population is present in very small proportion

(0.16%) to the total surveyed population. Caste details of 1.14% of the surveyed

population could not be established.

In the Rupaligad RDP villages, General Caste dominated the society, comprising

of 94.44% of the total surveyed population, followed by the Scheduled Caste

(5.56%). The village wise Caste Profile of the PAFs is elucidated in Table-4.6

and Figure-4.6 respectively.

of surveyed population educated or undergoing their education in middle

school and secondary school is of the order of 18.35% and 36.14%

respectively. It is evident from the given statistics that the number of persons

getting educated beyond the primary school and subsequent levels drops, and

thereafter increases in the secondary level education. Further individuals who

complete school level and thereafter take-up higher education reduced

drastically. Individuals who are presently undergoing/ have completed graduate

(includes BA, B.Com, B. Sc) or post graduate (MA, M. Com, M. Sc, PhD) level

comprise 4.63% and 1.66% of the total surveyed population respectively.

Further, individuals who have taken-up or completed professional courses, e.g.

Engineering, MBA, LLB, etc., constitute a minuscule proportion (0.1%) of the

total surveyed population.

persons, about 69% of the surveyed population is not engaged in economically

productive vocation. This group constitutes of persons engaged in household

chores (primarily women folk) and students who represent 25.7% and 15.6%

of the surveyed population. A sizeable proportion of the affected surveyed

population (about 25.9%), that consists of able-bodied adult males and females

that are not engaged in any economic activity, but are involved in assiting in

farm related activities and domestic chores; thus they are dependent on the

working population for its sustenance. This group also primarily consists of

infants, children (not going to school), and aged population. In addition, this

group also includes persons who have retired from service.

About 31% of the surveyed population is gainfully engaged in an economic

activity. This group consists of persons engaged in cultivation (15.82%),

government jobs (4.20%), private jobs (10.50), self employment/ business

(0.28%), artisans (0.02%), political position (0.07%), and labourers (0.03%).

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 38

h) Economic Profile

The maximum number of PAFs are cultivators. A large number of the survey of

affected population are engaged in various government and private jobs, yet

they are still dependent on cultivation. Agriculture not only provides vocation

and food to the PAFs, but it’s a way of life. Farming is mainly done along

terraces.

The main crops grown in the area includes wheat, paddy, maize, maduwa,

pulses, and green vegetables. Farmers use both chemical fertilizers and

cow dung as manure to increase productivity of their plots of land. In villages

which are abundant with water or have streams flowing through the village,

there the farmers constructed contour canals (kiuls) to provide irrigation. Most

of the farmers depend on the rains for irrigation. The produce was used by the

farmers for subsistence, which lasted them anywhere between 6 to 8 months

in a year. Thereafter, they purchased food grains and vegetables from the

market.

i) Livestock Rearing Pattern

Cultivation is the main livelihood that sustains people in the project area. Apart

from cultivation, livestock rearing is the major occupation. Livestock are

reared for milk, meat, eggs and labour. Goats are the dominant livestock by

the affected population, as these are less expensive to maintain and provide

milk and meat. Cows and buffaloes together are the second dominant livestock

reared by the PAFs, which is essentially for its milk and progeny. On an

average, there are about 2 milch animals per family among the surveyed PAFs.

Bullocks and he-buffaloes are reared as beasts of burden, mainly utilized in

farm activities e.g. ploughing, leveling and threshing of crops; they account for

about 12% of the total livestock. Other beasts of burden, viz., horse and

mules are reared by a few PAFs that account for 1.3% of the total livestock

heads. Pigs are also reared, albeit by very few PAFs. Chicken and other

poultry birds were reared by almost all PAFs.

j) Housing Details

Information regarding Housing details was also collected from the affected

families during the socio-economic survey. It was found that no family was

house-less. Mixed layout of housing was observed in the villages. The

settlements ranged from dispersed to compact. Linear settlement (on either

sides of a village lane) was observed in few villages. This residential unit

served the purpose of housing families of sons and grandsons, shelter for

cattle, storage areas for fuel wood, and other material possessions of these

families.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 39

It was observed that the houses on an average had about 4 rooms. Stone,

brick and mud were used to build the walls of the houses, while the roof was

mostly made of wood and tiles.

It was observed that about 60% of the houses had a defined space for housing

cattle. About 4.6% of the cattle sheds were electrified. On an average,

there is about one room for housing cattle.

A small percentage of the houses had provision for separate bath room and

toilet facilities. Otherwise, it was observed that most of the residents used

village ponds or river for bathing, washing and cleaning purposes. Most of the

villages did not have drainage system.

k) Sources of Drinking Water

Tap water supply forms the largest source for the surveyed PAFs. Usually, a

storage tank is constructed near a source, generally on a height and

distributed under gravity through pipeline. Taps are installed at vantage points

to supply water for meeting drinking and other uses. Apart from tapped water

supply, the other sources of water include hand pumps, and tanks/ ponds. The

residents of the project area also depend on the river for water. Springs also

are sources of water for various uses. The main source of water for the affected

population is depicted in Figure-4.8.

Large majority of the sources of water are located near homesteads that served

a few to several homesteads in the village. About 36% of the sources of water

supply were within the homestead premises. A few of the sources were located

within the village, but at a common place, from where residents could use it.

The sources of drinking water for surveyed PAFs are depicted in Figure-4.7.

The distance of the source of water for surveyed PAFs is depicted in Figure-

4.8.

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 40

Figure-4.8: Distance for Source of Drinking Water

l) Power Supply

The surveyed project affected Families use various energy sources for power

supply in the homestead. The main source of power supply for lighting in

the homesteads is electricity. A large majority of the affected homesteads

are electrified. About 96% of the homesteads get electricity for lighting

purposes. In addition, the affected sample population also depends on

kerosene for lighting purposes. Other sources such as other oils and solar

lamps are also used.

m) Sources of fuel for Cooking

The project affected families are dependent on a number of sources of fuel for

cooking purposes. Firewood is the major source of fuel, and contributes about

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 41

98% of the all fuels used by the project affected population. Other sources

such as electricity, kerosene, coal, cow dung cakes and fodder stalks from their

own fields contribute together to a small proportion of 2% of all sources.

n) Physical Health

A vast majority of the project affected surveyed population, i.e., 99.84% is in

good health and is physically fit and normal. However, there are about 21

individuals (one each in villages Kanari, Amtari, Ranuwa and Daulani, 2 each

in villages Sailoni and Tallisar, 3 each in villages Titri and Bagrihat, and 6 in

village Askora), i.e, 0.16% of the total surveyed population who are physically

challenged. All these physically challenged persons were enumerated in the

Pancheshwar MPDP.

o) Material Assets

The socio-economic assessment covered overall socio-economic status of the

surveyed project affected population vis-à-vis ownership of material assets,

which is an indicator of well- being. It is clear that many of the surveyed

PAFs, if not all, own material assets, which include farm equipment, modes of

transportation and consumer durables and electronic household gadgets.

Farm equipment

Traditional farm equipment such as wooden and iron ploughs and wooden

planks for leveling are owned by most of the farmers in the project area.

However, specialized and mechanized equipment such as pump set, tractor,

thresher, seed drill, cultivator, leveler, sprayer, etc are owned by very few

farmers. Two tractors, 6 cultivators, 1 leveler and 6 sprayers were observed by

PAFs covered as a part of survey in the Pancheshwar MPDP area. In the

Rupaligad RDP area, farmers did not own farm equipment.

Mode of transportation

PAFs in the project affected villages own various modes of transportation,

either used by themselves or operated by them for commercial purposes.

Motor-cycles and passenger cars are the most common mode of

transportation owned by the surveyed PAFs. Second most common mode was

bicycle. Commercial vehicles such as truck and buses are also owned by some

of the PAFs.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 42

Consumer durable electronic household gadgets

Ownership of consumer durables is a clear indicator of well-being,

consumerism and purchasing power among the surveyed PAFs. The most

commonly owned and used electronic gadget is the Mobile phone. Fans and

watches were also owned by a large number of PAFs. Other common gadgets

include television sets with dish antenas, refrigerators, and compact disc

players. A few families own sewing machines and coolers for air conditioning

their homesteads.

p) Rearing of Trees

The project affected families rear fruit bearing trees around and within their

homesteads and agricultural fields. Fruit bearing trees are raised by the PAFs

for sustenance, although surpluses are usually sold to middle-men, traders and

in the market directly by the surveyed PAFs. The most commonly raised fruit

bearing trees include mango, citrus such as lemon, orange, kinu, sweet lime,

malta, banana, apricot, guava, papaya, pear, peach, pomegranate, etc. Other

fruits such as apple, grapes, jamun, lichi, walnut, tamarind, jack-fruit, are raised,

albeit in smaller numbers by a few PAFs as well.

Rearing of Trees

Almost all the project affected families are engaged in agricultural activities and

growing and rearing of trees, both fruit bearing trees are quite common among

the villagers. Trees such as Jackfruit, Lemon, Orange, Papaya and

Cinnamomum are cultivated and reared by the surveyed population.

q) Types of Households

The survey was conducted in 49 families for the status of houses owned by

them. It was observed from the survey that 100% of the population owns

homestead. Walls were made from Galvanized form, Bricks, Stone or Concrete.

The commonly used wall materials were Cement, Wood and Mortar. The

maximum number of homesteads had Concrete walls followed by wood. The

material used for roof in the surveyed area homestead is CGI sheet, Concrete,

GI sheet, HN sheet, RCC and Tin shed; maximum households amongst the

surveyed population have Tin shed roof followed by CGI sheet. None of the

households amongst the surveyed population have LPG connection. The fuel

used for cooking in the area is firewood. It is further observed that almost all the

surveyed households were electrified.

r) Skill Mapping

As mentioned earlier, in all there are 134 project affected villages; viz., 21 in

district Almora, 26 is district Champawat and 87 in district Pithoragarh. A total

of 31023 families are losing land and 1308 families are losing homestead. As a

part of the study, socio-economic survey was conducted for 11776 Project

Affected Families for Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project. In addition, 120

families from 11 affected villages were surveyed for Rupaligad Project. Thus a

total of (11776+120) 11896 families in 122 project affected villages were

covered as part of the stratified random sample survey.

As per the data collected from the surveyed population it was observed that

about 31% of the surveyed population is gainfully engaged in an economic

activity. This group consists of persons engaged in cultivation (15.82%),

government jobs (4.20%), private jobs (10.50), self-employment/ business

(0.28%), artisans (0.02%), political position (0.07%), and labourers (0.03%). As

per the analysis of the occupational profile of the surveyed population it is

observed that most of the project affected persons are engaged in the

agricultural activities. The, summary of Occupational Profile of the project

affected surveyed population is given in Table-4.9.

It was observed that the resident population accounts for about 84.32% of the

total population, and the remaining (15.68%) is non-resident/migrated

population. There are several reasons stated for the migration of the people

from the project area. Of the total migrated population it is observed that the

population migrated for training purpose only accounts for 0.1% (Engineer,

MBA, LLB, etc).

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 44

It has been observed from the survey that there are no professional institutes

like Medical College, MBA College, and Engineering College in the study area.

Hence, project affected families have Traditional Skills like agriculture, dairy

farming and Horticulture. Although a large number of the survey of affected

population are engaged in various government and private jobs, still major

portion the surveyed population is dependent on cultivation. Agriculture not

only provides vocation and food to the PAFs, but it’s a way of life. Livestock

rearing is the next major occupation adopted by the study area population

Livestock are reared for milk, meat, eggs and labour.

Agriculture is the main occupation in the PAVs. On an average, 76.8%

(63.1% among main workers and 36.9% among marginal workers) of the total

working population is engaged in cultivation. A very minuscule proportion, i.e.

2.9% of the working population is engaged as agricultural labourer. Only a

small proportion of the working population is engaged in household industry

work/vocations. However, a considerable proportion, i.e., about 18.1% of the

working population is engaged as other workers. It appears that a vast majority

of this class is engaged in tertiary economic vocations such as private and

government jobs, self-employment and business, etc.

About 16% of the total sample population is illiterate, while the remaining

84% populations are either literate or are presently continuing with their

education. Amongst the sample surveyed population, 22.38% are either

educated upto or pursuing primary school level. The percentage of sample

population educated or undergoing their education in middle school,

secondary school is of the order of 18.35% and 36.14% respectively.

Individuals who are presently undergoing/ have completed graduate (includes

BA, BCom, BSc) or post graduate (MA, MCom, MSc, PhD) level

comprise 4.63% and 1.66% of the total population respectively. Further,

only 0.1% of the surveyed population has taken-up or completed professional

courses such as engineering, MBA, LLB, etc.,

Cultivation is the main livelihood that sustains people in the project area. Apart

from cultivation, farmers and other PAFs rear cattle for milk, meat, eggs and

labour.

Goats, account for 58.4% of the total livestock population, are by-far the most

common livestock reared by the PAFs, as these are less expensive to maintain

and provide milk and meat. Cows and buffaloes together are the second

dominant livestock reared by the PAFs, which is essentially for its milk and

progeny; they account for 19.5% of the total livestock owned. On an average,

there are about 2 milch animals per family among the sample PAFs. Bullocks

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 4: Data Analysis of Socio-Economic Survey Page 45

and he-buffaloes are reared as beasts of burden, mainly utilized in farm

activities such as ploughing, levelling and threshing of crops; they account for

about 12% of the total livestock. Other beasts of burden, viz., horse and

mules are reared by a few PAFs that account for 1.3% of the total livestock

heads. Pigs are also reared, albeit by very few PAFs. Chicken and other

poultry birds were reared by almost all PAFs.

The conclusion of Skill Mapping are given as below:

Skill level are quite low amongst PAFs.

PAFs have skills related to Agriculture and Livestock

Even in Agriculture and livestock, PAFs are not trained in modern

practices.

As a part of skill development, it is suggested to impart training for the following aspects:

o Dairy

o Beekeeping

o Horticulture

PROPERTY SURVEY

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 5: Property Survey Page 1

CHAPTER-5

PROPERTY SURVEY

5.1 GENERAL

The main aim of the assignment is to carry-out the property survey –

enumeration of properties likely to be impacted due to the proposed

project. This chapter outlines the study approach and methodology adopted to

carry-out the property enumeration the project affected families.

5.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The scope of work for the Property Survey, the study encompassed desk

research, devising survey tools, Interaction and consultations with district

revenue authorities and staff, field investigation, and consultations with local

key personnel such as village-headman and senior citizen and prominent

citizens, etc to gain an insight of the baseline conditions. The main objectives

of this assessment are to:

Collate revenue records and maps for the project affected villages.

Superimposition of submergence area map on khasra maps

Superimposition of Submergence Area and other project appurtenances

on Khasra Map

Identification of the Khasra numbers to be acquired for various project

affected families.

Identification and collate project affected families (PAFs) from Revenue

records.

Conduct a property survey of the 100% of the project affected families

(PAFs), through field investigations

Estimation of the project affected families losing only land, only

households and both land and households.

Inventory of the properties owned by the project affected families,

common property resources like religious places, community centres,

etc.

5.3 STUDY APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Information that was required for property enumeration was collated from both

secondary as well as primary sources. Secondary data was collected from the

revenue department in the form of Right of Records (RoRs) and Khasra

(Cadastral) maps. Primary data and information was collected through

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 5: Property Survey Page 2

consultations with village head-man, village elders and prominent citizens of

the affected villages along with the submergence area maps. Thereafter,

through desk research and review of maps, a comprehensive list of probable

affected villages was prepared with the help of Administrative Atlas of

Uttarakhand. Subsequently, during the reconnaissance visit to the project

area, this list of probable affected villages was verified and updated with the

able assistance from officials of the Revenue department. This preliminary list

of probable affected villages comprised of 134 villages spread across districts

Almora, Champawat and Pithoragarh.

Meeting was held with District Magistrates/ Collectors (DM/ DC) of districts

Pithoragarh, Champawat and Almora, and appraised them about the

proposed project, the property, Subsequently, the respective DMs directed

their officers and concerned staff to extend all possible support and

assistance. Thus, on the directions of the respective DMs, meeting was

held with respective Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDM), Tehsildars, Pawaris,

Land Record Section Officers and Staff, to collect revenue maps for the

affected villages.

At headquarters, the khasra maps collected from the revenue department and

project area maps were scanned; scanned revenue maps were superimposed

on the submergence area maps. This exercise was carried-out with the help

of GIS computer software, which aided in jigsaw fit the revenue maps on the

submergence area map. This process helped in adding or eliminating villages

along the submergence area, based on jigsaw fit, and also to delineate the

affected/ impacted zone, i.e., areas within the revenue maps falling within the

full reservoir levels. Thereafter, a list of all the plots/ khasra, likely to be

acquired/ impacted was prepared, which was extensively used to gather the

Right of Records (RoRs). The State of Uttarakhand has computerized and

uploaded RoRs on their website: www.devbhumi.uk.gov.in which was to

collate RoRs of the affected villages. This information although was

downloadable but it was not editable; thus it was re-computerised for the

purpose of analysis and drawing inferences. These analyses lead to

enumeration of affected persons/ families/ land titleholders likely to lose land,

land and homesteads and homesteads only.

A list was prepared for affected persons/ families/ land titleholders, which was

used to identify them in the field for conducting socio-economic survey and

property enumeration in the affected villages. Thus, for the purpose of

enumeration of affected properties within the FRL, this list of affected

persons/ families/ land titleholders was used to enumeration affected private

properties of 100% affected families. A checklist was devised to gather and

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 5: Property Survey Page 3

enumerate affected/ impacted properties.

At the completion of this exercise, final list of 134 affected villages spread in

districts Pithoragarh, Champawat and Almora.

5.4 FIELD WORK

For the purpose of primary data collection, survey coordinator put-together a

survey team, comprising of local educated youths. While engaging them, the

coordinator ensured that the team members (investigators/ surveyors) were

educated, well acquainted with Hindi language (as the schedules were to be

filled-in this language), well versed with the local customs and dialect, etc.

Training was imparted to the members of the survey team, wherein they were

appraised about the purpose of the survey and on the method of

consultations with the affected families/ persons and how to use GPS and

filled-in the survey checklist.

The survey team traversed the submergence area and dam alignment and

visited the affected villages for enumeration of properties. A considerable time

was spent in reaching many of these villages, as these were remotely located

and trekking from the nearest road-head was the only means of reaching

these villages. Upon reaching the affected villages, they contacted the Village

Panchayat/ Panchayat member or secretary and appraised them about the

survey work and required information. Thereafter, the survey team along-

with the village leders, emminant citizens and affected families of the villages

located themselves within the village at an elevation of 680 m MSL for

Pancheshwar MPDP and 420 m MSL for Rupaligad RDP using GPS. From

that location, they conducted consultations and physically enumerated

affected properties and structures.

5.5 DATA COMPILATION, ANALYSIS AND REPORTING

At the end of each day’s work the filled-in data checklists were cleaned for

internal discrepancies. The survey team coordinator ensured that the survey

team members eliminated the internal discrepancies and filled-in the missing

information in the survey schedules. The gathered information was thereafter

computerized. This keyed-in information/data was then analysed and

inferences were drawn using Microsoft Excel computer software.

The Property Survey/ Enumeration Report has been prepared for 134

surveyed villages. As per the property survey conducted in the area a total of

14,047.05 ha of land from both nations would be required for construction of

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 5: Property Survey Page 4

various project appurtenances. Thus, land of the order of 9,058.25 ha and

4,988.8 ha are likely to be acquired from India and Nepal respectively, for

various purposes. The present chapter outlines the Property Survey Report

for submergence area in Indian Portion.

It was assessed that in all there are 1308 affected persons/ families that are

likely to be displace from their homesteads. Project-wise, there are 1283 PAFs

from 59 villages and 25 PAFs from 3 villages in Pancheshwar MPDP and

Rupaligad RDP respectively details are given in Table-5.1.

5.6 LAND REQUIREMENT FOR THE PROJECT AND PROPOSED

ACTIVITIES

The Pancheshwar MPDP and Rupaligad RDP involves land acquisition in India

and Nepal. About land of the order of 9100 ha and 5000 ha of land are likely to

be acquired in India and Nepal respectively, for various project appurtenance.

Hence, a total of 14100 ha of land from both nations would be required for

construction of various project appurtenances. About 8780 ha of land is to be

acquired for Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project and 320 ha for Rupaligad RDP

respectively. Table-5.2 provides the break-up of total land, project

appurtenance-wise, required in both the Nations for the construction or location

of various project appurtenances and/or components.

5.7 ASSESSMENT OF LOSS OF PRIVATE PROPERTIES

As part of the property survey the total number of PAFs/ land titleholder/

shareholders and the quantum of land each PAFs is likely to lose, enumeration

of private assets was also conducted in each of the affected villages. As

already mentioned, there are 1308 PAFs who are likely to be evicted from their

homesteads. As per the survey shall 1308 PAFs lose homesteads, process of

land acquisition. A total 1563 homestead structures would be affected, of

which, 1537 homestead structures would get impacted due to the Pancheshwar

MPDP while 26 of them would get impacted due to the Rupaligad RDP.

It was observed during survey that some of the PAFs have more than one

homestead structure which is likely to get impacted. Besides, other private

assets were also enumerated, such as lavatories, kitchens, cattlesheds, shops,

tanks, etc. As per the survey, 959 separate toilets, 252 separate kitchens

(Separate kitchens and toilets means that a separate structure is constructed

for these respective purposes, which are located within the homestead plot, but

they are not part of the main homestead structure) and 166 cattle sheds and

likely to be affected. The details are given in Table-5.3.

5.8 COMMUNITY PROPERTIES AND ASSETS

As per the data collected from the property survey of community owned

properties and assets. A consultation was held with the village headman,

village elders and prominent citizens to assess and enumerate community

assets located within the earmarked elevation for the respective projects. An

inventory of all such private assets was prepared which are likely to get

affected due to the process of land acquisition within 680m and 420m MSL

elevations. The village-wise details of community properties is depicted Table-

5.5.

As per the findings of the property survey. It is observed that the community

properties such as Panchayat buildings, temples/ places of worship will be

affected. A total of 115 community buildings and structures were enumerated,

which are likely to be impacted due to the submergence area of both the

projects. Of these, 21 are Panchayat buildings and 94 temples or places of

worship.

5.10 SUMMARY

Subsequent to the delineation of the affected/ impacted zone, the survey team

prepared a list of all the affected khasra/ plot numbers that are within the

project area. A list was prepared for the affected khasra numbers. Thereafter,

the team collected land records, viz., Right of Records (RoRs) of all the

affected villages. Analyses of the RoRs lead to enumeration of affected

persons/ families/ land titleholders likely to lose land, land and homesteads

and homesteads only.

Project Affected Families

It was assessed that in all there are 1536 affected persons/ families that are

likely to be displace/ evicted from their homesteads. The same PAFs would

also lose their lands as well. Further, there are 29715 land titleholders/ project

affected persons/ families who are likely to lose only their lands.

In all there are 1563 homesteads structures, 990 separate lavatories, 252

separate kitchens, 166 cattle-sheds that would be impacted as a result of the

process of land acquisition. In addition, 3 shops, 4 tanks for storing drinking

water, 4 fish tanks will also be affected.

Community Properties

During the property enumeration, community properties such as Panchayat

buildings, temples, water tanks constructed by the irrigation department for

drinking water, hand pumps, etc were enumerated. As per our survey, a total of

21 Panchayat buildings and 94 temples and places of worship are likely to be

impacted due to the submergence area of the both the projects.

Government Buildings

As per the property survey, a total of 98 government buildings were

enumerated, which are likely to be impacted due to the submergence area of

both the projects. A total of 3 post offices, 5 primary health centres, 29 primary

schools, and 14 secondary schools were enumerated as likely to be impacted.

Water Supply Facilities

1 dug well, 14 water tanks and 2 hand pumps that are also likely to be affected.

SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 1

CHATER-6

SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

6.1 INTRODUCTION

A project of this magnitude is likely to entail both positive as well as negative

impacts on the socio-cultural fabric of the project area and its surroundings. At

present, most of the population is engaged in agriculture. During construction

and operation phases, a lot of allied activities will mushroom in the project area.

It is felt that most of the labour force would come from various parts of the

country. However, some of the locals would also be employed to work in the

project. The labour force would stay near to the project construction sites. Apart

from direct employment, opportunities for indirect employment will also be

generated which would provide great impetus to the economy of the local area.

Various types of business like shops, food-stall, tea stalls, etc. besides a variety

of suppliers, traders, transporters will concentrate here and benefit immensely

as demand will increase significantly for almost all types of goods and services.

The business community as a whole will be benefitted. The locals will avail

these opportunities arising from the project and increase their income levels.

With the increase in the income levels, there will be an improvement in the

infrastructure facilities in the area. The educational, health, social services,

communication, etc. are some of the sectors which will improve greatly as a

result of the upcoming project. The quality of life of the locals including women

will improve as a result of the project.

On the contrary the project will also lead to certain negative impacts. The most

important negative impact due to the commissioning of the project would be

that a number of families would be displaced from their lands, homesteads and

economic activity. Besides, certain impacts are likely to emerge due to inter-

mixing of the native population with the expatriate labour force. Differences in

social, cultural and economic conditions among the natives and labour force

may lead to some vices among the natives. However, most of the deleterious

impacts, which have been elaborated in the following sections, could be

prevented, if timely interventions are administered.

6.2 IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

It is expected that a lot of labour force will be deployed at the project site during

the construction phase and the total increase in population during peak

construction has been estimated to the tune of 22,600. Together with the work

force many business establishment will take place which will attract people from

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 2

other places. Influx of labour population might lead to number of social, cultural,

economic and security related problems. However, it is evident that the local

residents will have an upper hand in the establishments of any business

ventures.

6.2.1 Local employment opportunities

A number of marginal activities and jobs would also be available to the local

population during construction phase. Marginal jobs such as those of unskilled

labour, drivers, cooks, peripheral shops, peons and messengers etc. would

open up for the locals. However, such opportunities would be limited.

The scope for a number of non-project activities, especially in business and

self-employment sector, job opportunities, will increase tremendously during

construction phase. Business opportunities such as tea stalls, eating joints and

restaurants, fruits and vegetables vending shops, hiring of vehicles, Photostat,

internet café, mechanic and repair shops (of electrical & mechanical types),

small hotels, boarding and lodging provisions, etc would boom. It is felt that a

large number of enterprising locals in the vicinity of the project area would reap

benefits of such business and self-employment opportunities.

6.2.2 Construction workforce related influence on social services

(Educational, Health, Communication, Water Supply, Consumer

Goods, and Sanitation etc.)

During construction phase a large labour force, including skilled, semi-skilled

and un-skilled labour force, is expected to immigrate into the project area Some

of the locals would also be employed to work in the project. The labour force

would stay near to the project construction sites. Education will receive a shot

in the arm. The advantages of education to secure jobs will quickly percolate

through all sections of the population and will induce people to get their children

educated. A sizeable amount of surplus generated through labour will be spent

on education.

The labour force that would work in the construction phase would settle around

the project site. They would temporarily reside there. This may lead to pollution,

due to generation of domestic wastewater, human waste, municipal solid waste

etc. Besides, other deleterious impacts are likely to emerge due to inter-mixing

of the local communities with the labour force. Differences in social, cultural and

economic conditions among the locals and labour force could also lead to

friction between the migrant labour population and the local population.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 3

6.2.3 Construction workforce related influence on law and order

Certain impacts are likely to emerge due to inter-mixing of the local

communities with the expatriate labour force. Differences in social, cultural and

economic conditions among the locals and labour population could become a

reason of friction between the migrant labour population and the local

population.

6.2.4 Construction related influence on occupational health, community

health, and Accidental risks

The labour would be vulnerable to accidents, if appropriate management

measures are not undertaken during project construction phase. The

construction phase of any project is rather an unsettled stage characterized by

uncertainties and often disorders. The basic problem relates to management of

large population which migrates to the construction area in search of jobs.

The labour population involved in construction activities may immigrate into the

project area is likely to have different cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds.

Such a mixture of population has its own advantages and disadvantages. The

advantages include exchange of ideas and cultures between various groups of

people which would not have been possible otherwise. Due to longer residence

of this population in one place, a new culture, having a distinct socio-economic

identity would develop which will have its own entity.

The benefits however, are always not a certainty and depend on several

factors. Often, they are directly related to the way construction phase is

handled by the project authorities and their sensitivity to various socio-

economic problems that could develop during this phase.

It is normally experienced that untreated sewage would find its way into natural

drainage system, and is likely to get collected as pools of sewage or it out-falls

into the nearest water body along natural drainage pattern. Thus, it is important

to provide appropriate sewage treatment facilities at the labour camp and at the

construction site prior to disposal on land or in water body. The garbage

comprising of waste materials, e.g. packaging, polythene or plastic materials

are likely to be generated during project construction and operation phase at

the power station. The same needs to be properly collected and disposed at

designated sites.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 4

6.2.5 Improved access facilities in the project area

Development of the proposed Pancheshwar Multi-purpose project will have

multifold beneficial impacts. The immediate beneficial impacts from the project

will be improved connectivity by the road. The improved road access will bring

an improvement of food security situation and overall economic and social

stability. The improved access road will also provide cheap, safe and fast

transport of goods and services from rural areas to urban centers and vice

versa. This will contribute significantly to improve the overall socio-economic

condition of the people.

6.2.6 Impacts on infrastructure

The availability of infrastructure is generally a problem during the initial

construction phase. Though the construction workers would be willing to pay for

certain facilities like health, education, etc., the facilities itself are often not

made available timely and of the desired quality. The adequacy of water supply,

sewage treatment, housing etc. should, therefore, be ensured before and

adequate measures would be taken at the very start of the project.

6.2.7 Impacts on public health due to migrant population

About 8500 labourers, technical staff and service providers will congregate in

the project area during peak construction phase. The total increase in

population is expected to be of the order of 22,600. Most of the labour would

come from various parts of the country. The labourer would live in dormitories

provided by the Contractor. Proper sanitary facilities are generally provided.

Hence, a proper surveillance and immunization schedule needs to be

developed for the labour population migrating into the project area.

6.2.8 Increased incidence of vector-borne diseases due to excavations

The excavation of earth from borrow pits etc. is one of the major factor for the

increase in prevalence of malaria. After excavation of construction material, the

depressions are generally left without treatment where water gets collected.

These pools of water, then serves as breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

However, in the present case, the borrow areas are within the river bed, which

in any case remain under water. Thus, no additional habitat for mosquito

breeding is created due to excavation. The flight of mosquito is generally limited

up to 1 to 2 km from the breeding sites. Since, no residential areas are located

within 1 km from the reservoir periphery, increased incidences of malaria are

not anticipated. However, labour camps, etc. could be vulnerable to increased

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 5

incidence of malaria, if proper measures for drainage and mosquito control are

not undertaken.

6.2.9 Impacts on public health due to inadequate facilities in labour

camps

Improperly planned labour camps generally tend to become slums, with

inadequate facilities for potable water supply and sewage treatment and

disposal. This could lead to outbreak of epidemics of water-borne diseases.

Adequate measures for supply of potable water and sewage treatment have

been recommended as a part of Environmental Management Plan outlined in

Volume-II of this Report.

6.2.10 Loss of Historical and Cultural Monuments and Mineral Reserves

The reservoir so constructed as a result of construction of the dam will not

submerge any monument notified by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

However, about 89 temples are likely to be submerged. Among these

temples, three temples located at Pancheshwar, Rameshwar and

Taleshwar are the major temples which are revered not only by the locals but

also by the people in the surrounding areas. The main deity in these three

temples is Lord Shiva. The temple at Pancheshwar is located about 2.5 km

upstream of dam site at the confluence of rivers Sarju and Mahakali. The R.L.of

the temple is about 450 m. Thus, the depth of the reservoir water above this

temple will be 230 m. The temple at Rameshwar is situated at the confluence of

rivers Sarju and Ramganga. The R.L. at this site is 550 m. The depth of the

water above the temple will be about 130 m. The other major temple is at

Taleshwar along the banks of river Mahakali, about 10 km upstream of

Jhulaghat. The depth of water above this temple would be about 120 m. The

reservoir depth over the above mentioned temples sites are too high (120 m to

250 m) to be protected by engineering structures. Thus, these temples will

be submerged as a result of the projects.

6.2.11 Impacts on Mineral Resources

No mineral deposits are coming under submergence due to the reservoir. The

project and its surrounding areas have little or no mineral deposits.

6.3 IMPACTS DURING OPERATION PHASE

Although there are a number of positive impacts of the proposed project,

certain negative impacts will also be there, which are described in the following

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 6

paragraphs.

6.3.1 Impacts due to acquisition of land and homesteads

It was assessed that in all there are 1536 affected persons/ families that are

likely to be displace/ evicted from their homesteads. The same PAFs would

also lose their lands as well. Further, there are 29715 land titleholders/ project

affected persons/ families who are likely to lose only their lands.

In all there are 1563 homesteads structures, 990 separate lavatories, 252

separate kitchens, 166 cattle-sheds that would be impacted as a result of the

process of land acquisition. In addition, 3 shops, 4 tanks for storing drinking

water, 4 fish tanks will also be affected.

The risks involved due to acquisition of land and homestead are given as below:

Expropriation of land removes the main foundation on which people build

productive systems, commercial activities, and livelihoods. Often land is

lost forever, sometimes it is partially replaced, and seldom is it fully

replaced or fully compensated. This is the principal form of de-

capitalization and pauperization of displaced people, as they lose both

natural and man-made capital

Loss of wage employment occurs on account of acquisition of agriculture

land, yet creation of new jobs is difficult and requires substantial

investment. Resulting unemployment or underemployment among

resettlers endures long after physical relocation has been completed.

Loss of housing and shelter may be only temporary for many displaced

families, but for some homelessness remains a chronic condition

Marginalization occurs when families lose economic power and slide on

a downward mobility path middle-income farm - households do not

become landless, they become small land holders, small shopkeepers’

and craftsmen downsize and slip below poverty thresholds. Relative

marginalization often begins long before actual displacement; for

instance when lands are identified for future flooding they are implicitly

devalued, as new public and private infrastructure investment are

prohibited and the expansion of social services is also not done

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 7

6.3.2 Impoverishment Risk Assessment (IRA)

In project feasibility and preparation studies, the IRA performs two basic

functions. Foremost, it serves as a diagnostic and predictive tool, to anticipate

risks in resettlement and to assess their nature and their expected intensity.

Secondly, IRA is also used as a problem resolution and planning function, to

guide the incorporation of measures matching each main risk, either for

prevention or mitigation. The IRA identifies impoverishment not only in terms of

income, but also in terms of employment opportunities, health care, nutrition,

food security, common assets, education, shelter or social capital.

The IRA framework has been synthesized from the knowledge of past

experiences, which saves considerable time and effort in feasibility work by not

demanding general risk analysis to start afresh in each project, but rather by

ex-ante offering a well-tested starting point. The matrix of eight basic risks in

light of historical experience, predictable in most resettlement situations:

landlessness, joblessness, homelessness, marginalization, increased morbidity

and mortality, food insecurity, loss of access to common property, and social

(community) disarticulation. Each of these risks is discussed in Table-6.1.

lands for their livelihood. In

addition, there are a number

for their livelihood, who work

as agricultural labour work

force. Acquisition of lands

would invariably affect their

means of livelihood and

Resulting unemployment or

underemployment among

resettlers endures long after

physical relocation has been

completed. There are a

number of PAFs who are

dependent on agricultural

land. The submergence of

this land would adversely

affect the job opportunities in

the area.

3. Homelessness Loss of housing and shelter

may be only temporary for

many displaced families, but for

some homelessness remains a

chronic condition.

Homelessness would be an

issue for these families

losing homestead.

Villagers have a special

bonding with their land and

properties which they never

like to part with. The

submergence of the project

will cause displacement of

the Abadi population pushing

them towards forced

transition from one place to

another which may be a

strange place for them. This

transition will cause stress

and unnecessary pressure

on their day to day lives.

4. Marginalization Marginalization occurs when

families lose economic power

carefully and sensitively

assessed, as the main

marginalized. As mentioned

there are land titleholders

It is felt that only a few

families/ individuals that

would be able to bear the

brunt of land acquisition. For

the remaining the possibility

of sliding on a downward

mobility path would be

inevitable unless alternative

sources of livelihood are not

provided.

5. Increased

Morbidity and

Mortality

Serious decreases in health

levels result from displacement

caused social stress, insecurity,

psychological trauma and out-

break of relocation related

illnesses particularly water-

borne and vector-borne

diseases.

Unsafe water supply and poor

sewerage system increase

vulnerability to epidemic and

chronic diarrhea, dysentery etc.

The weakest segments of the

demographic spectrum, viz.,

infants, children and the elderly

are severely affected the most.

Fluctuations in morbidity and

mortality rates would depend

on the displacement related

social stress, insecurity,

psychological trauma. Out-

break of illnesses particularly

water-borne and vector-

borne diseases can be

envisaged. But these would

depend on the kind of civic

amenities provided at the

relocation or at the labour

camps, where the labour

would be housed.

Health indicators could also

fluctuate due to the presence

of labour colonies that have

come to work in the plant

construction. Thus it is

imperative to provide proper

civic amenities in these

colonies as well.

6.4 IMPACTS DUE TO COMMAND AREA DEVELOPMENT

6.4.1 Improvement in agriculture production

The project envisages irrigation over an area of 2.59 lakh ha. With the

introduction of irrigation, not only the irrigation intensity will improve, but also

the cropping intensity will improve. The introduction of irrigation will also lead to

improvement in agriculture productivity as well.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 10

The total agriculture production would increase resulting in increase in

agriculture production. The increase in crop production would also increase the

income level, which is a significant positive impact.

6.4.2 Improvement in livestock

The improvement in the socio-economic status of the population in the

command area will indirectly improve the quality of livestock. The main reasons

could be improvement in the supply and availability of the veterinary services

along with the betterment in the infrastructure facilities in the area.

During project operation phase, food grain production will increase significantly.

Assuming even 50% of agriculture by product is usable as fodder, hence, it

would satisfy the fodder requirements of large number of cattles. This will

reduce the pressure on the existing forests or vegetation of the area, which is a

significant positive impact. The project would also improve the water availability

for livestock. The coupled with improved fodder availability improve the

livestock status of the area. It has been observed in other Irrigation Projects the

number of livestock does not increase significantly. It is the quality of livestock

that show similar improvement. Similar impacts are envisaged in the proposed

Project as well.

6.4.3 Employment generation

The increase in the irrigation intensity in the command area would improve the

employment scenario to a large extent. The introduction of irrigation requires a

greater amount of labour in fields. This would improve the employment scenario

not only for the local farmers, but would also increase the demand for

agricultural labour. On average, labour demand in irrigated and unirrigated field

is 200 man-days/ year/ ha and 100 man-days/ha/year. The employment

potential in with out -project phase for a cropped area of 2, 45,000 ha have

about 24.5 million which will increase to 49.0 million man-days in project

operation phase. Thus, with the increase in the irrigation intensity, manpower

requirement in the agriculture sector would increase by 24.5 million man days

per year.

As per the general definition, a main worker is defined as one who is engaged

in any economically productive activity for at least for 183 days or six months in

a year. Thus, the increased irrigation intensity will ensure employment to about

1, 33,000 persons per year. This is a significant positive impact.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 6: Social Impact Assessment Page 11

6.4.4 Urbanization

The commissioning of the project will increase the gross money flow in the

command area. This will lead to significant impacts in the project area. The

area will have increased demands for services, such as sewerage system,

communication, transportation, medical and educational facilities, etc. It is

presumed that all these developments would result in generation of additional

employment. Thus, with the increased income level, there will be a greater

impact for urbanization in the command area.

CHAPTER- 7

RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION PLAN

7.1 INTRODUCTION

The Pancheshwar MPDP and Rupaligad RDP are located in the mountainous

state of Uttarakhand; many of the affected villages are remotely located and

accessed by footpath, by varying distances from the nearest road-head. A

project of this magnitude is likely to impact 123 villages by the Pancheshwar

MPDP and 11 villages by the Rupaligad RDP due to the process of land

acquisition for various purposes. The deleterious impacts would include

submergence and or acquisition of land, primarily cultivated lands and

orchards, eviction of families from their homesteads, acquisition of other private

properties, community property resources, and government assets. Thus, all

such assets and properties that are likely to be impacted would require to be

compensated. Therefore, it is essential to spell out the loss which is likely to be

incurred due to the process of land acquisition. This would enable project

planners to either look for less impacting options or to take appropriate

measures to devise suitable compensation and R&R package as a solace to

the PAFs.

This chapter details-out the enumeration of various properties and assets that

are likely to be affected due to the process of land acquisition for the

Pancheshwar MPDP and Rupaligad RDP. The Compensation shall be awarded

to the affected population on the guidelines of the “The Right to Fair

Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and

Resettlement Act 2013”. The details of the private land been acquired is given

in Tables-7.1 and 7.2 summarize the Project wise PAFs losing land &

Homestead and only Land.

7.2 RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION PLAN

For the purpose of this project, the R&R plan has been devised using the

norms and guidelines of the “Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in

Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”. The Consultant

based on past experiences in similar projects, in the area have

suggested/specified/ augmented/ enhanced the R&R provisions. The objective

of the R&R Plan is to enable project planners to take appropriate measures to

devise suitable compensation as a part of resettlement and rehabilitation

package for the PAFs.

7.2.1 MEASURES FOR COMPENSATION OF LOSS OF PRIVATE

PROPERTIES

7.2.1.1 Compensation for Land

Of the total land coming under submergence area, private irrigated land

accounts for 2822.43 ha. About 31023 families are likely to lose land in

submergence area of the project. The compensation for acquisition of private

land would be paid to the respective land owners/ land titleholders as per the

provisions of “Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land

Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”.

7.2.2 COMPENSATION FOR HOMESTEADS

It is envisaged that this proposed project is also likely to evict a number of

families from their homesteads as well. As per the assessment, in all there are

1563 homestead structures are likely to get affected as a result of land

acquisition.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter: 7 Resettlement & Rehabilitation Plan Page 3

7.2.3 COMPENSATION OF OTHER PROPERTIES

Other properties such as trees, wells, ponds, temples, cremation grounds,

public utility buildings and spaces, electric and telephone poles and cables,

etc., would be assessed, evaluated and compensation rates would be fixed as

per the prevalent guidelines/norms. The compensation amount shall be

disbursed to the concerned department, agency, individuals, etc.

7.3 MEASURES FOR RESETTLEMENT

There are 1308 families that are likely to be evicted from their homesteads as a

result of the process of land acquisition due to construction of dam and

subsequent submergence area. These families would be eligible to receive

resettlement benefits, in addition to compensation of homestead plot and

structure. The provisions “Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in

Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013” have been taken

into consideration. Further, it is suggested that these families be resettled/

relocated at one place as a group, in one or more of the existing nearby

villages. The provisions for Resettlement that would be extended to the families

losing homesteads are given in Table-7.3.

LIVELIHOOD PLAN FOR PAFS WHO ARE LIKELY TO LOSE ENTIRE LANDS

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 8: Livelihood Plan Page 1

CHAPTER – 8

LIVELIHOOD PLAN FOR PAFS WHO ARE LIKELY TO LOSE

ENTIRE LANDS

8.1 INTRODUCTION

The livelihood Plan shall be given to those PAFs who are likely to be loose

major proportion of their land holdings. The families loosing land under

reservoir submergence shall be covered under Livelihood Plan. A total of 1308

PAF are likely to lose homestead and 31023 PAFs are likely to lose land under

reservoir submergence. As part of Income generating activities, following

activities are proposed.

Livestock rearing

Horticulture

Bee Keeping

Eco-tourism

Training for skill development

8.2 LIVESTOCK REARING

Livestock requiring is quite common in the project affected families. It is

proposed that for about 1308 PAFs, 4 cows/buffalos shall be given to each

family. Thus, about 1600 cows / buffaloes shall be purchased. The cost of a

cow/buffalo has been taken as Rs.25,000/-. Thus, total amount spent on each

PAFs shall be Rs.1.0 lakh. In addition, an amount of Rs.25,000/- can be given

to each PAFs for construction of cattle shed and initial inputs. It is proposed to

conduct following training programmes:

Fodder Demonstration

Demonstrations of use of mineral mixture in daily diet of milch animals

Artificial Insemination and natural Breeding in Cow and Buffalo

Training and Exposure of PAFs

Technical Training of Veterinarians instrumental in implementation of

various activities.

Fodder plays a vital role in livestock production. The health and productivity is

directly proportional to quality and balance feeding. The main purpose of this

activity is to educate the farmers about the need of feeding green fodder to

cattle. There are two ways of fodder production i.e. overlapping cropping and

Relay cropping. In overlapping cropping a fodder is introduced in the field

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 8: Livelihood Plan Page 2

before the other crop completes its life-cycle. In relay cropping, the fodder

crops are grown in succession, i.e. one after another, the gap between the two

crops being very small. Both practices can be taken at field level.

The deficit of green fodder and lack of pasture land has great impact on

increase in number of infertility amongst milch animals. Mineral deficient cow

and buffalo not only shows reduction in wet period but also having poor health

and reduced auto immune system to fight with adverse environment condition.

The demonstration of use of mineral mixture has been envisaged to educate

the farmers for adoption and continuity in daily diet of milch animals.

It is proposed to develop a quality breeding service through commissioning of

Artificial Insemination Centres in project area. It is proposed to select and

trainee 200 unemployed educated youth for door to door artificial insemination

and other related activities. Besides this natural breeding center shall also be

established.

To promote better Livestock management practices in the project area, it is

important to provide skill up-gradation training to the PAFs. For imparting

modern techniques of the livestock management, it is necessary to equip the

department staff with such techniques. Thus, it is proposed to further upgrade

the existing skills in the Department of Animal Husbandry through various

trainings on modern livestock management.

An amount of Rs. 1508.0 lakh has been earmarked for livestock development

amongst PAFs. The details are given in Table-8.1.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 8: Livelihood Plan Page 6

8.6 TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

The reservoir will have great tourism potential and it can create many income

generating resources to the local people in many ways viz ; boating, angling

competition, guide, creation of the paying guest houses, travelers’ tour

packages to the nearby sight-seeing places, development of camping sites,

birds watching etc. This must be linked with the ecology environment of the

reservoir. For the development of the tourism, brochures, pamphlets, signage,

models, opening of the tourism information centers, Telescopes, Binoculars,

computerized data, trekking routes and their stay arrangements etc shall be

required.

The following activities are proposed for the development of the eco-tourism

zone:

Create interest for birds by Bird watching.

Develop infrastructure for perform various water sports activities

such as Boating etc.

Infrastructure for stay of tourists

Provision of house boats, paddle boats

Distribution of plants for plantation on community and private

lands.

Distribution of fruit tray for planting on private lands.

Training to locals, viz. Bird Watching, Boating, Catering, Tourist

guides, etc. etc.

The budget required for implementation of Eco-tourism in the area has been

earmarked in the Tourism Development Plan outlined in Volume-III

(Environmental Management Plan) of this Report.

A Committee for implementation of Eco-tourism can be set up by the State

Government of Uttarakhand. The Committee shall have the following members:

Representative of State Tourism Department

Chapter 8: Livelihood Plan Page 7

The Committee shall review and oversee the conservation work to be undertaken

8.7 WOMEN SELF HELP GROUPS

The livelihood plan will be implemented through Women Self Help Groups. This

will enable PAFs, to form their own SHG, link them to credit access and

sustainable livelihoods opportunities.

The SHGs shall follow the standard SHG parameters of forming around some

social affinity and mutual trust basis; same gender, regular savings, and inter-

loaning. A SHG shall have around 10-15 members. These SHGs will be

provided support for mobilization, nurturing and SHG formation, financial

management, and development of group solidarity and access skills. As the

SHGs attain certain maturity and became capable of handling key management

issues within the SHG, they will be developed to formulate their own livelihood

plan. The SHGs shall initially start off with thrift and credit through rotation of

the SHG members’ fund, promoted to adopt specific livelihood activities in

gradual phase.

The SHG serves the purpose of providing women members’ space for self-

help, mutual cooperation and collective action for social and economic

development. It promotes savings, build own funds and becomes the local

financial institution to provide a range of financial services including providing

credit for debt-swapping and livelihoods.

The key elements of the SHGs strategy are:

Self-determined group membership and group norms;

Homogeneity in group membership;

Group determined savings and inter-loaning norms;

Initial inter-loaning from own savings for easing consumption

Social capital for providing support services;

CCL from banks to augment capital to meet various credit needs of

the members.

Utilization of Livelihood Support Fund (LSF)

The Self Help Groups shall be implemented in a phased manner. The first

phase included formation and capacity building of self-managed primary

institutions known as SHGs. During the second phase, some of these mature

primary level institutions (SHGs) were promoted to adopt livelihood

enhancement and income generation activities in the cluster. For

implementation of livelihoods and income generation activities amongst the

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 8: Livelihood Plan Page 8

SHG members of project villages, the approach adopted is based on various

development milestones of SHGs, which are as follows:

Pre-formation (2-3 months): Profiling and assessment of the poor women;

initial interactions

Formation (6 months): Organizing and nurturing, developing norms,

Practicing Panchasutra (Regular meetings; Regular savings; Regular inter-

loaning; Timely repayment; and Up-to-date books of accounts), Developing

Micro Credit Plan, Leadership development

Linkages (6-24 months): Capacity Building, Micro Credit Plan, Linkages

with Banks

Beyond (2nd year onwards): Visioning/Plan, Livelihoods, New Products,

Social Capital

After completion of first phase, skill based market-led training will be imparted

to the members of SHG during the second phase based on skill assessment of

members of SHG. For implementation of livelihoods development program

amongst women beneficiaries of project villages, a multi pronged strategy will

be adopted for identification of good training institutes, which are capable to

impart necessary skill based market-led training to the members of SHG at their

own doorstep.

In the second phase, for implementation of livelihoods development program on

large scale amongst the SHGs of the project villages, it has been planned to

provide Livelihood Support Fund (LSF) of Rs.45000/- to the SHGs, which have

qualified the credit rating as per maturity index and prepared their own

livelihoods development plan in two tranches:

LSF- 1:- First tranche of Rs. 15,000/- to be provided to those WSHG, which

have qualified in A or B category in the WSHG assessment and have

developed their Micro Credit Plan.

LSF-2:- Second tranche of Rs. 30,000/- to be provided to those WSHG, which

have utilized LSF-1 grant within 3 months and members have refunded the

same to the WSHG and / or the CCL has been sanctioned by the Bank.

It is proposed to develop 3,000 SHGs. An amount of Rs. 1350 lakh has been

earmarked for this purpose.

The self-help groups will have to exhibit adequate maturity in order to receive

cost support from the project. The maturity status/level will be assessed on the

basis of maturity index/indicators summarized in Table-8.7.

CHAPTER–9

LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN

9.1 INTRODUCTION

The present chapter outlines the Local Area Development Plan (LADP) for

Pancheshwar Project. The objective of the plan is to empower the families of

the study area villages. Contrarily, it is the project affected families residing in

affected who are not likely to benefit from the proposed project except for

compensation of their acquired properties, which would be mostly part of their

lands. Thus, LADP is being framed to extend benefits to not only the residents

of the affected villages, but also to residents of the villages adjoining to project

area which are also within the study area villages.

The following aspects have been covered under the Local Area Development

Plan:

Educational Facilities

Health Care and Medical Facilities

Infrastructure Development

Economic Development

Social and Cultural Development

A budget of 0.5% of the project cost has been earmarked for implementation of

Local Area Development Plan (LADP) which is 168 Crore.

9.2 LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN

9.2.1 Up gradation of Educational Facilities

It is proposed to upgrade the primary schools in 25 villages in the periphery of

the affected villages. The following activities are proposed under LADP

activities:

Up-gradation of school fixtures, equipment

Improvement of drinking water facilities

School bus service

It is suggested to upgrade school fixtures, equipment, etc., and to improve

drinking water facilities in one primary school in 25 study area villages. A lump-

sum amount of Rs. 15.0 lakh per primary school is being made for this purpose.

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 9: Local Area Development Plan Page 2

Since 25 primary schools are to be upgraded, an amount of Rs.362.5 lakh

needs to be earmarked for this purpose. In addition, an amount of Rs.200 lakh

has been earmarked for purchase of 10 school vans/mini-buses. Thus, total

lump-sum amount of Rs.562.5 lakh needs to be earmarked for this purpose.

The breakup of cost required for up-gradation of existing primary schools is

given in Table–9.1. The list of villages in which existing primary schools are to

be upgraded is enclosed as Table-9.2.

9.2.2 Scholarships for Students

It is suggested to provide scholarships for local students. For all those students

who are presently studying between Class–I to college, about 100 scholarships

are suggested for them. It is proposed that an amount of Rs. 1000 per month

for a period of 12 years may be extended as scholarship to about 10 students

in each of the 50 Study Area Villages. Thus, a total of 500 students will be

covered under this scheme. These students will then be supported in their

college education as well. Each student will get Rs. 20,000 for meeting their fee

and study material requirement. In addition, they will get Rs. 3000 per month for

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 9: Local Area Development Plan Page 4

meeting their hostel requirements, as they will have to move out of their areas

for higher studies.

In addition, there are youths who have completed school level at present as

well. It is suggested to give an impetus to such youths who wish to pursue

college or higher education. These students will also be supported for college

education. About 500 such students (10 students in each of the 50 Study Area

villages) will be supported by the project. Thus, a total of 1000 students will be

supported for college education.

A total amount of Rs. 2576.0 lakh say Rs. 25.76 Crore may be earmarked for

providing scholarships, as part of local area development plan. The details are

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

10.1 INTRODUCTION

Monitoring is an essential component for sustainability of any water resources

project. It is an integral part of any environmental assessment process. Any

water resources development project introduces complex inter-relationships in

the project area between people, various natural resources, biota and the

developing forces. Thus, a new environment is created. It is very difficult to

predict with complete certainty the exact post-project environmental scenario.

Hence, monitoring of critical parameters is essential in the project operation

phase.

Monitoring of social indicators signal potential problems and facilitate timely

prompt implementation of effective remedial measures. The data so generated

can serve as a data bank for prediction of post-project scenarios in similar

projects.

10.2 INSTITUTIONAL/ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENT FOR

IMPLEMENTATION OF R&R MEASURES

Appointment of Administrator at State Level

State Government of Uttarakhand shall appoint an officer not below the

rank of Joint Collector or Additional Collector or Deputy Collector or

equivalent official of Revenue Department, who will be responsible for

R&R Plan at the State Level.

Administrator shall, with a view to enable him to function efficiently and

to meet the special time-frame, be provided with such powers, duties

and responsibilities as may be prescribed by the appropriate

Government and provided with office infrastructure and be assisted by

such officers and employees who shall be subordinate to him as the

appropriate Government may decide.

Subject to the superintendence, directions and control of the appropriate

Government and the Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement,

the formulation, execution and monitoring of the Rehabilitation and

Resettlement Scheme shall vest in the Administrator.

Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee at Project Level

Where land proposed to be acquired is equal to or more than one

hundred acres, the appropriate Government shall constitute a

Committee under the chairmanship of the Collector to be called the

Rehabilitation and Resettlement Committee, to monitor and review the

progress of implementation of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement

scheme and to carry out post-implementation social audits in

consultation with the Gram Sabha in rural areas and municipality in

urban areas.

The Rehabilitation and resettlement Committee shall include ,apart from

officers of the appropriate Government, the following members, namely:-

- representative of women residing in the affected area;

Resettlement Committee shall be such as may be prescribed by the

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 10: Monitoring & Evaluation Page 3

appropriate Government.

10.3 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) must be simultaneous with the

implementation of Rehabilitation Plan. It requires specialized skill for application

of general project monitoring procedures to the process of land acquisition and

rehabilitation. Conventional monitoring, normally carried out by the Government

machinery, often misses focus on certain vital aspects and does not identify

certain shortcomings, which may otherwise prove very important. While the

conventional government monitoring will continue, an external M&E agency will

also be engaged to help in proper monitoring of land acquisition and

rehabilitation programs. The main purpose of involving such an agency is to

bring the problems and difficulties faced by the PAFs to the notice of

Administrator R&R on a regular basis for their redressal as well as to help in

formulating and undertaking corrective measures. The external Monitoring and

Evaluation (M&E) agency can submit half yearly reports on the progress of

implementing Rehabilitation Master Plan (RMP) along with suggestions and

corrective measures required for improvement in the implementation of

Rehabilitation Plan.

For Land Acquisition and rehabilitation program, M&E system will consist of:

i) Administrative monitoring;

ii) Socio-economic performance, and

iii) Impact evaluation.

Administrative monitoring will be conventionally carried out by SLAO, project

authorities, Resettlement Commissioner and other concerned government

agencies/departments. The focus will be on physical (like number of land

holders affected and land based resettlement, area identified for allotment to

Village Level Committee, etc.) and financial (like compensation paid, payment

to M&E agency, office establishment cost, etc.) parameters.

The socio-economic monitoring which will be carried out concurrently is the

crux of M&E exercise to provide interim measures based on the field level

situations. This along-with impact evaluation at the end of plan period will be

carried out by the M&E agency. While covering the affected community,

monitoring will focus on the vulnerable groups like women, physically

handicapped, etc. The household information collected through the socio-

economic survey will form the benchmarks for comparison. However, these

benchmarks will be supplemented in order to create new reference points

against performance, effects and objectives.

10.3.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Guidelines

Monitoring of the progress of R&R is important because of the sensitivity of

these issues. The objective of monitoring is to assess the progress of

resettlement activity, to identify difficulties, ascertain problem areas, and

provide indication for the need of calling attention to some specific issues at an

early stage. Following tasks have to be performed by the group at different

stages of the project:

Establish baseline information on individual PAFs and their pre-

project standards of living, health conditions, nutritional patterns, etc.

This should precede resettlement in general by a year.

The planning of the resettlement monitoring studies could cover

disbursement of compensation and grants.

Monitoring of resettlement sites regarding, preparation of land,

construction activities, water and other facilities required before the

actual resettling of PAFs.

The resettlement monitoring system could cover transport of people,

belongings and allocation of replacement assets. Their report should

also include information on performance of field staff and concerned

official’s participation of the PAFs and host community reactions.

After resettlement, a few sensitive indicators using sample survey

techniques should be measured, mainly to understand how effective

the R&R plan has been in reality.

The monitoring and evaluation can continue for several years after

actual relocation. The frequency of monitoring can be reduced after

the completion of R&R work. The monitoring reports need to be

submitted periodically to assess progress of resettlement and its

effects compared with established policy and specific timetables and

benchmarks at each phase.

10.3.2 Post-Project Monitoring

Status of availability of alternative homestead for project affected persons,

development of infrastructural facilities such as schools, sewer networks, roads,

etc. are some of the aspects which could be considered for monitoring and

modifications may be suggested if required. It needs to be appreciated that

R&R issues are politically and socially sensitive issues and need timely

attention. For such reasons, it is suggested that the monitoring be conducted by

an independent agency not connected with the project. Therefore, an

independent Consultant having experience in monitoring & evaluation of

implementation of Resettlement & Rehabilitation Plans in similar areas and not

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 10: Monitoring & Evaluation Page 5

connected with the project can be appointed for monitoring the project. The

Consultant will review the rehabilitation and resettlement programme after 2nd,

4th and 6th year from the completion of the R&R activity.

10.3.3 Participation of PAFs

Involvement of affected communities in planning and implementation of

rehabilitation programs according to their felt needs and socio-economic

conditions are of vital importance. To obtain co-operation, participation and

feedback, PAFs need to be systematically informed and consulted during

preparation and implementation of resettlement plan about their options and

rights. In the proposed project, co-operation and participation of PAFs in the

resettlement process could be ensured through their involvement in each of the

following stages.

Involvement in preparation of Rehabilitation Master Plan

As a part of participatory planning, community meetings should be held on a

routine basis to explain about the project and the R&R policy of the project.

Direct communication with the PAFs will negate the politicization of the R&R

Process. The communication with the PAFs can be through the Village Level

Committee.

Involvement of PAFs in implementation process

The Village Level Committee can be involved in the implementation of

Rehabilitation Plan particularly during the identification of forest land to be

allotted to Village Level Committee. They shall also be consulted in finding out

alternative economic opportunities to supplement their household income.

However, some NGO groups can also be associated which can interact directly

with the project authorities and the affected population.

10.3.4 Parameters for Monitoring and Evaluation of R&R Plan

Once the R&R Plan is implemented, affected families should not be forgotten.

Their progress should be monitored, evaluated and recorded. This would

greatly help the government or other organizations for further improving the

Rehabilitation and Resettlement guidelines. It would form a basis of evaluating

whether the resettlement has been a success or not. If the resettlement has not

been successful, the answers would come out at this stage and the same

mistakes can be avoided for other resettlement schemes.

Priorities that would have to be monitored and evaluated are; is the family's

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 10: Monitoring & Evaluation Page 6

income more or less in their new location? Do they inter-mingle with the host

population? If not, why? Has their standard of living increased or decreased?

Are health and education facilities more accessible to them? Have new

opportunities come their way or have they stagnated? etc. Such questions

would prove invaluable in assessing the success of the resettlement scheme.

Progress report of their resettlers should be maintained. The progress report

format should include among others the following:

Total household covered under the R&R plan:

(1) No of families

(2) Population

Birth and Death information:

(1) No. of children born

(2) No. of deaths

Income and expenditure (monthly) pattern of the resettlers

(1) Average monthly income (with its break up)

(3) Bad (below 20%)

Agricultural inputs;

(1) Seeds (kg)

(2) Fertilizers (kg)

(3) Pesticides (kg)

PANCHESHWAR MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT SIA Study Report

Chapter 10: Monitoring & Evaluation Page 7

If such a format was included the progress of the resettled families can be

easily monitored and evaluated. However, such a formatted progress report

would have to be up dated annually for a minimum of five years in order to get

an accurate picture.
