3.1 Institutional Arrangement CGPWD as the Executing Agency (EA) has taken up implementation of this ADB funded state roads development project. The EA has already set up a state-level Investment Program Management Unit (PMU) headed by the Chief Engineer, CGPWD as the Program Manager. The PMU has appointed a qualified and experienced resettlement officer to supervise, facilitate, and monitor resettlement activities who will also coordinate with Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) teams engaged in RP implementation. In addition the CGPWD has hired the services of a local NGO, Lakshya Foundation, as the implementing agency to implement RP activities including grievance redressing of any issues raised by the affected persons and monitoring social safeguards compliance for the project during project implementation. However, the main activities of the NGO also include monitoring of social safeguards during project implementation in addition to the implementation of RPs for this project. CSC for Group-A subprojects has mobilized Dr. Debasish Bhattacharya, Social and R&R Expert, on intermittent basis to periodically provide guidance, supervise and monitor the implementation of Resettlement Plans and also compliance of social safeguards being followed at the project implementation level by CSC and the Construction Contractors. His responsibilities include aspects of RP implementation activities in coordination with the NGO and the EA, provide guidance to CSC’s site engineers for construction supervision and prepare relevant progress reports on implementation of RPs and social monitoring of construction activities at Contractors’ level. In all these activities CSC has been working in close coordination with the EA and the NGO. A flow chart below provides the functioning model of the institutional arrangement.

5. Social Monitoring of Implementation of Resettlement Plans in Group-A Subprojects during Reporting Period

Social monitoring is a regular activity taken up during RP implementation. It provides an assessment of implementation work done, achievements of meeting targets, gaps in achieving targets, if any, over a stipulated reporting period. The progress of work done is monitored from two angles, physical progress and financial progress.

5.1 Physical Progress in Terms of Identification of Adverse Social Impacts and Losses Till the end of December 2015, the current reporting period about 10 TH has been identified who suffered loss of land due to the project in Packages 1, 2 and 3. Altogether 205 NTH have lost their properties and suffered impacts on their livelihoods being located within the ROW which has been cleared for road construction purposes in all 6 packages. Thus, the subproject has adverse impact on 215 DPs including TH and NTH. Table 3 below presents the status of identified TH and NTH DPs in details as per the eligibilities mentioned in the Entitlement Matrix (EM) adopted for the project.

5.2 Financial Progress in Terms of Disbursement of Compensation and Allowances including Other Resettlement and Rehabilitation Measures

For compensating loss of land of private owners (TH) acquired for the project, the EA followed the Government of Chhattisgarh regulations for assessing amount of compensation due to each TH / owner of land and structures impacted due to land acquisition for the implementation of the project. The standard process of valuation of land has been carried out by the Valuation Committee (VC) formed at the District level for the purpose. Officials of the Government Revenue Department followed the valuation process using latest Circle Rates for valuation of land and Basic Structure Rate (BSR) for valuation of impacted structures. The whole process was done under the guidance of the District Collector. To arrive at the final estimation of the compensation amount a 100% Solatium on the estimated base value of land plus 12% interest for 24 months on the base value of land (till the payment made) have been considered. Structures and trees on the affected land have also been considered for valuation. Thus, for each TH whose land has been acquired a compensation package included value of land+100% Solatium+12% interest for 24 months including value of structures and trees. Altogether, the total land acquired so far from TH DPs in Packages 1, 2 and 3 amounts to 2.485 ha and compensation money paid for acquiring the land comes to the tune of INR 17.8 million (Rs. 17,778,573.00). For other mitigation of loses and impacts to 7 NTH DPs including compensation for affected structures, livelihoods loss, a sum of INR 0.2 million (Rs. 200,253.00) has been paid till the reporting period ending December 2015. Altogether 6 vulnerable DPs have been paid with INR 0.06 million (Rs. 60,000.00) in Package 1 till the Reporting Period ending December 2015. For compensating loss of altogether 10 CPRs in Package 1 a sum of INR 0.5 million (Rs. 503,673.00) has been paid till reporting period ending December 2015. For the rest of the NTH DPs and CPRs, a plan has been taken up to disburse compensation and other allowances in the following SMR reporting period from January to June 2016. Since pecuniary estimation of losses due to adverse impacts and preparation of the cheques is a long-drawn process the cheques of disbursement could be made ready for NTH DPs and CPRs of Package 1 during this reporting period. Thus, during this reporting period of the SMR only the NTH DPs and CPRs of Package 1 have been paid. However, estimation of compensation and assistances and cheques for rest of the NTH DPs and CPRs in Packages 2 to 6 are under process. These cheques will be distributed during the next reporting period of SMR from January to June 2016. R&R assistance for livelihood loss as Transitional Assistance to DPs has not been paid to any DP in Package 1 due to an ambiguity of decision on this, arising out of different entitlements in different RPs. Training assistance also has not been paid to any DP of Package 1. There was no case of Shifting Allowance in Package 1.The disbursement of payment of shifting allowances, transitional and training assistances and shifting allowance for all DPs in all six packages will be taken up in the following reporting period of SMR. Table 4 below presents the status of payment of compensation and money for resettlement and rehabilitation assistances paid so far for TH, NTH and CPR.

5.3 Gaps Identified in Payment of Compensation and Assistance

5.3.1 Payment of Compensation to NTH DPs

Compensation and other R&R assistances have not been paid till the end of the reporting

period to DPs in Packages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. This is due to the lengthy process of pecuniary estimation of losses arising of the project impacts and preparation of cheques of disbursement. Since this is an inter-department procedure of the government the process takes its due time to get the cheques ready for disbursement.

5.3.2 Payment of Shifting Allowance

There was no case of sifting allowance as all the NTH DPs in Package 1 losing commercial

establishments within the ROW had ambulatory arrangements. Keeping in view cases of loss of structures of NTH DPs in Packages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shifting allowance as desired will be paid in the next reporting period of SMR.

5.3.3 Transitional Assistance

Transitional allowance, as part of livelihood support, has not been paid to NTH DPs of Package

1 losing commercial establishments / source of livelihoods. This is due to an ambiguity in the relevant entitlement. As in some RPs that provision was omitted while in some other RPs the provision was in place so it was decided that at a later stage when this ambiguity would be removed and a common suitable EM will be established then the relevant R&R assistance would be provided.


19 | P a g e

5.3.4 Training Assistance

6.2 Grievance Redress

The project has adopted a grievance redress mechanism for addressing issues and grievances of the DPs and owners of CPRs occurring due to dissatisfaction on compensation, confusion regarding entitlements, disbursement of payments of compensation and assistances, etc. A Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) at the District Level has been formed with the District Collector as the Chairperson. DPs will register their grievances to the Project Manager (PM), PIU at respective field level under EA. PM will initially take up cases for resolution and if unresolved at his level, he will direct cases to GRC at the District Level for further action.

7. Conclusion and Recommendation

7.1 Conclusion

Implementation of RP during the reporting period is not very significant as it was carried out only in Package 1 out of six packages under CSC. This was mainly due to the lengthy process of estimation of costs to lost properties of NTH DPs in Packages 2 to 6 and issuing of cheques for disbursement which was not complete till the end of the reporting period ending December 2015. However, disbursement of payments of compensation and assistances (except transitional and training assistances) took place for all TH and NTH DPs of Package 1 during this reporting period ending December 2015. The rest of the disbursement of compensation and R&R assistances for Packages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be carried out in the next reporting period of SMR (January-June 2016). In all other packages since the civil construction activities had just started there was no hindrance caused due to non-payment of compensation and assistances to DPs. The civil contractors started their activities along the stretches cleared of encumbrances and faced no obstructions caused by DPs.


23 | P a g e

Transitional allowances were not paid to DPs of Package 1 during the reporting period. As mentioned earlier, this was due to an ambiguity of entitlements mentioned in different RPs relevant for all these 6 subprojects (Packages 1 to 6). Training for livelihoods restoration has not started but the process of identification of trades for imparting training to eligible persons is under progress.

7.2 Recommendation

It is recommended that a few areas of RP implementation needs strengthening. These are areas with activities which are most important for keeping the pace of RP implementation on the desired target oriented track.

Disbursement of compensation and R&R assistances for DPs in Packages 2 to 6 has to be carried out during next reporting period. The NGO should start estimating soon the transitional allowances due towards livelihoods restoration of eligible DPs for all 6 packages. Following this the NGO must disburse payments thereof. Similarly estimation of shifting allowances due to DPs has to be carried out by the NGO with immediate effect for Packages 2 to 6 and amounts thereof should be disbursed. The NGO should finalize plan and impart livelihoods restoration training to all eligible DPs from Packages 1 to 6. The NGO should immediately start conducting HIV/AIDS training for construction labourers at labour camp and construction sites to be sponsored by Contractors. In the event of newly identified DPs or CPRs during project implementation the process of documentation of such impacted properties to be made and necessary actions to be taken up for processing disbursement of compensation and R&R assistances to these DPs.
