To achieve this, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) an autonomous body under the Ministry of Road Transport (MoRT&H), envisages the implementation of sustainable transportation system in India. With its mandate to develop and maintain an enhanced quality of National Highways, NHAI under the National Highway Development Plan (NHDP) has embarked on its second phase relating to the creation of a North-South corridor connecting Srinagar with Kanyakumari and of strengthening and enhancing the East-West corridor of the country linking Silchar with Porbandar. The Government plans to complete the second phase of NHDP by December 2007, which includes development of two corridors the North-South Corridor and the East-West Corridor. Of the 6858-km NS-EW corridors, 630-km have already been four-laned, while 416-km was under implementation and the contracts for the remaining 5812-km will be awarded under phase -II. The East-West Corridor comprising the second phase of NHDP, propose to have public-private partnership projects. As there's a growing realization that an indepth comprehension of resettlement and rehabilitation issues with its social, cultural, psychological, economic and environmental ramifications will have strategic consequences in infrastructure related projects, this document provides a detailed social assessment of various choices of project options for combating the complex issue of involuntary resettlement. Consequently, the preparation of comprehensive Resettlement Action Plan for Lucknow-Ayodhya section of NH-28 and Gorakhpur Bypass a new alignment falling within the NH-28 section is being carried out by the project consultant, Consulting Engineering Services Pvt Ltd and is being strengthened by the (DHV- MDP) Consultants. The East -West Corridor includes four laning of Lucknow to Muzaffarpur of NH-28 section in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The details of the consultancy packages are as follows: The project road starts at Kamta (near Lucknow at km 8.25) and traverses through Lucknow, Barabanki, Faizabad, Gonda, Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar and Gorakhpur districts in UP and Gopalganj, East Champaran (Motihari) and Muzaffarpur districts in Bihar. The project road ends at Chandni Chowk in Muzaffarpur. The entire project road stretch has been divided into five consultancy packages as depicted in Table 1.1.

The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been prepared on the basis of the primary and secondary data and in extensive consultation with the stakeholders. For Lucknow -Ayodhya section of NH-28, preliminary social screening survey was carried out to assess the possible impact of the project. This survey was followed by a detailed 100 percent census survey based on the door-to door interview basis of families that were being directly affected (within ROW) by the broadening of the road section. The census survey was initiated on 21.8.2003 and the socio-economic survey was carried out on 25 percent basis. For the Gorakhpur Bypass similar approach was adopted wherein 100 percent census survey was executed and 25 percent socio-economic survey was carried to assess the family details; occupation (agriculture, share cropper, business, service), occupational skills, literacy level, economic status and other socio-economic information of the family for determination of the entitlement framework of the project affected persons. 1.4 WORLD BANK GUIDELINES & R&R POLICY FRAMEWORK The population distribution and social impact scenario of the project indicate that the OP 4.12 would be applicable to this project. OP 4.12 deals with involuntary resettlement, which may cause long term hardship and impoverishment and which needs mitigation measures. The O.D. 4.20 pertaining to indigenous people is not applicable and cannot be triggered in this project, as there are no ST families affected in the project area 1.5 MINIMIZING NEGATIVE SOCIAL IMPACT The integration of social and environmental aspects along with the design issues made it possible to reduce the negative social impact for both the consultancy packages as detailed below. For the Lucknow-Ayodhya section previously, the widening of the existing alignment in Barabanki and Ram Sanehighat would have affected quite a large number of structures, kiosks and other assets. In Barabanki alone the number of project affected persons would be approximately one third of the total affected persons for the entire project road. The widening the existing road would affect as many as 425 structures and 275 kiosks comprising 2770 and 1600 persons respectively but with the proposed bypasses there are only 24 kiosks and 11 structures getting affected. The details of minimization efforts have been provided in the concerned chapter. For Gorakhpur Bypass project, the reconnaissance and social survey of various alignment options were made keeping in mind the social and environment aspects while finalizing the project design and engineering aspects. Of the various alignment options, the present alternative (option no 2, as indicated Table 3.1 in chapter 3 and Figure 7.1 in Chapter 7) was considered most feasible as it avoids major settlements to be disturbed, had reduced numbers of PAPs being affected, and minimal land acquisition requirements as compared to the other options. 1.6 PROJECT AFFECTED FAMILIES-TITLEHOLDERS & NON TITLEHOLDERS People likely to be affected mainly belong to two broad categories; viz., Titleholders and Non- titleholders. Titleholders are the ones have legal papers for the property units in their name, whereas Non-titleholders include encroachers, squatters, tenants and kiosk owners. Despite best efforts to minimise the negative social impact, there would be considerable number of persons who would be affected/displaced by the project.

The average number of affected persons for Lucknow-Ayodhya stretch and Gorakhpur Bypass has been elucidated in the following tables. 1.6.1 Titleholder Census and Socio-economic survey has enumerated 4153 PAHs and 21190 PAPs among Titleholders. This includes both land and structure affected persons (Residential, Commercial, Residential cum Commercial, Agriculture etc.) and also accounts for people loosing other property units like well, hand pump/ tube well, boundary walls etc. Detail of impact of the project on Titleholders in terms of type of loss is provided in Table 1.4 Table 1.4 Affected Households, Families and Persons (Titleholder) Lucknow Barabanki Faizabad Total Gorakhpur Total Type of PAHs PAFs PAPs PAHs PAFs PAPs PAHs PAFs PAPs PAHs PAFs PAPs PAHs PAFs PAPs PAHs PAFs PAPs loss Land 79 174 382 1250 2750 6038 371 816 1792 1700 3740 8211 1436 5026 8042 3136 8766 16253 Residential 20 44 97 53 117 256 106 233 512 179 394 865 23 81 129 202 474 993 Commercial 114 251 551 148 326 715 127 279 613 389 856 1879 2 7 11 391 863 1890 Residential cum 43 95 208 75 165 362 82 180 396 200 440 966 8 28 45 208 468 1011 commercial Other Property 97 213 469 69 152 333 50 110 242 216 475 1043 0 0 0 216 475 1043 Units Total 353 777 1705 1595 3509 7704 736 1619 3555 2684 5905 12964 1469 5142 8226 4153 11046 21190 1.6.2 Non Titleholder The percentage distribution of the Non Titleholders exhibits that kiosks account for maximum share (54.62 percent) followed by Tenants (17.45 percent), Encroachers (16.60 percent) and Squatters (9.54 percent).

The project authorities would develop the resettlement sites if the option of land is available and in consultation with the eligible PAPs during the implementation stage (as a more accurate estimate for land requirement can be formulated during that stage). However, a preliminary assessment and provision for resettlement sites has been made in the cost and budget. 1.10 ESTIMATES OF LAND REQUIREMENT The district wise land to be acquired has been given in the Table 1.12. The table indicates that impact on Gorakhpur would be maximum and Lucknow would be the least impacted district. The number of affected villages is maximum in Faizabad followed by Barabanki, Gorakhpur and Lucknow.

Acquisition of additional land width for widening of the project road would affect many educational institutions, health facilities, potable water sources, religious and cultural properties, etc. The summary of common property resources likely to be affected has been provided in Table 1.13 Table 1.13 Common Property Affected Category Lucknow Ayodhya section Nh-28 Gorakhpur Bypass Fully affected Partially Fully affected Total affected Religious Structures (Temple 42 4 1 47 & Mosques) Mazar & Samadhi 8 - 8 Graveyard 2 2 Schools 11 10 21 Health facilities 2 7 9 Bus Stand Hand Pump 414 - 5 419 Dharmshala 1 1 Police Station/Chowki/ Post 11 - 11 Other Government Structures 6 6 Well 14 - 1 14 Pond 2 2 Nursery 2 2 Village Gate 1 - 1 Panchayat Bhawan 1 1 Others 9 9 Total 552 Fully affected temples and mosques would be relocated to the near by locations as discussed during the FGDs and public consultation with local peopl and religious committee of the area. However, during the implementation stage the NGO would interact with community people and involve implementing authority, district administration and other persons having influence over their community in resolving the issue of relocation of religious and cultural properties. Compensation would be paid to the schools, colleges, health facilities and any other structures being fully affected. Partially affected property units would also be paid compensation and in order to build the new structures in the adjacent area and/ or the implementing authority will construct the similar kind of structure as mutually agreed with the concerned department on a case-to-case basis. The implementing authority shall suitably locate drinking water sources before the civil construction starts. 1.12 ENTITLEMENT FRAMEWORK The NHAI has prepared the entitlement framework for the people who would be affected by the project. The framework describes the principle and approach to minimize and mitigate the negative social and economic impacts caused by the project. I _. ~ 1-8 Independent Review and Consolidation of EIA, EMP & RAP for Lucknow-Ayodhya section on NH-28 and Gorakhpur Bypass Draft Final Consolidated Resettlement Action Plan It also provides assistance for restoring the livelihood to the eligible persons with additional ERG support to the vulnerable displaced livelihood affected families. 1.13 PARTICIPATION OF STAKEHOLDERS The Public Consultations for both the consultancy packages Lucknow-Ayodhya section as well as Gorakhpur Bypass was mainly held at the local level i.e. at the village level so as to incorporate the perceptions of the stakeholders in the planning and implementation of the RAP. There were a total of 27 FGDs and 9 Public Consultations held at Lucknow Ayodhya section and 9 consultations/FGDs heldTfor the Gorakhpur Bypass stretch. However, since public consultation and community participation forms an integral part of R&R implementation process, the State level and District level consultations and interaction with the concerned urban development authorities would be undertaken during the implementation stage.. 1.14 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT Implementation of Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R & R) component would be the overall responsibility of the Environmental and Social Development Unit (ESDU) of NHAI at head quarters for both the stretch Lucknow-Ayodhya and Gorakhpur bypass. The ESDU is presently headed by General Manager and is assisted by one Deputy General Manager and a manager ensuring sustainable implementation of RAP and looking after the environmental components. The responsibilities of EDSU also include policy guidance, planning, implementation and monitoring, contingency planning; R & R related programmes and reporting during RAP. The NHAI's existing capacity includes a Project Implementation Unit (PIJ) at Gorakhpur headed by a Project Director. It has been proposed to have five additional CRROs-one for each construction package to look after the R&R works. 1.15 IMPLEMENTATION AND ARRANGEMENT SCHEDULE The institutional arrangement and implementation schedule provides a detailed mechanism for the implementation of the RAP. The ESDU of NHAI at Head Office would be responsible for the implementation of the action plan through PIU at Gorakhpur. The ESDU is headed by the General Manager and supported by Dy. General Manager and a manager (Environment and R&R). Furthermore, a Non-government organization (NGO) would be appointed by the ESDU for the implementation of RAP. The NGO would work in close co-ordination with CRROs and affected persons. The Grievance Redressal Committee and District level Committee would be set up to facilitate the quick redressal of grievances of project affected persons and implementation of R&R activities respectively. An external evaluation consultant would also be appointed to evaluate the project progress. A time based RAP implementation schedule has been prepared by NHAI to complete the R&R works on time. However NHAI has already initiated the following activities, which would support the implementation of RAP. These include: * Establishment of PIU . Initiation the process of land acquisition. * Appointment of NGOs by end of January 2004 The schedule would facilitate EDSU, PIU, NGO, Evaluation Consultants and other stakeholders in coordinating the completion of their activities and taking corrective measures in time, so that the _dN _ 1-9 AW as_M Independent Review and Consolidation of EIA, EMP & RAP for Lucknow-Ayodhya section on NH-28 and Gorakhpur Bypass Draft Final Consolidated Resettlement Action Plan project would be completed as per schedule. This would also assist PIU to complete land acquisition and initiate resettlement activities in a planned manner, so that civil works may commence by October 2004. 1.16 MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E) The ESDU - NHAI and the PIU would be responsible for the internal monitoring of the progress of R&R activities. An external agency would be hired for the evaluation of the impact on socio- economic condition of the PAPs through one annual evaluation, one mid term and one-end term final evaluation report for both the project stretch i.e Lucknow Ayodhya section and Gorakhpur Bypass stretch. . 1.17 COST AND BUDGET The estimated budget comprises land and asset acquisition and supports in re-establishing the livelihood and shelter of the project affected persons. It also has provisions for training of the NHAI staff and NGO, requirement of staff for the implementation of the RAP, highway related disease etc. The estimated budget for RAP implementation has been provided below, wherein the details have been elucidated in the respective chapter.
