TRANSCRIPT
Social Impact Evaluation (SIE) & Need Assessment Survey (NAS) of surrounding villages
Community of NTPC, Simhadri
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. SOCIAL IMPACT EVALUATION (S.I.E)
1. BACKGROUND OF SOCIAL IMPACT EVALUATION (SIE) STUDY :
Social Impact Evaluation (SIE) would help to determine the extent to which the community
has benefited from the CSR-CD activities implemented for them and whether CSR-CD
activities have been able to bring desired changes in the educational/health/ sanitation,
economic status of the communities, thereby providing an understanding of the
effectiveness of the existing programs/activities. The survey, therefore, should help to
understand following aspects of the Community:-
a) Short term and long term social / cultural / economic impacts of the CSR-CD activities
on the community ;
b) Effectiveness of the existing programs/activities w.r.t. the needs of the Community and
vis-à-vis previously captured status ;
c) The contribution of CSR-CD activities in raising the living standard of people
d) Changing needs of the Community
NTPC, Simhadri has been undertaking many Community Development projects in its
neighbouring villages in line with NTPC Community Development Policy, 2016 to ensure
that PAPs / LOs are benefited maximum in the process of development.
2. OBJECTIVE OF SIE
Social Impact Evaluation (SIE) study is proposed to be undertaken after completion / on-
going Community Development projects in the fields of Education, Health, Sanitation,
Infrastructure, Roads, Water, etc., in the neighbouring villages of NTPC, Simhadri. Such
an evaluation will inter-alia determine the extent to which the Standards of Living of PAPs
have improved or declined. A Standard of Living Index (SOLI) shall also be developed by
the Consultant for this purpose. Broadly the objectives of SIE are as under:-
2.1 To prepare a comprehensive profile of all the activities done by the station (Details of all
the individual activities, village-wise, in all the broad areas like Education, Health,
Sanitation, Infrastructure, Drinking Water, Vocational Training, quality of life, etc. are to
be included as per the requirement / demand of community) ;
2.2 To determine the impact of various CSR-CD projects on the social / cultural / education /
health / economic conditions, etc. of the people in communities ;
2.3 To assess the changes in the quality of life among village communities through project
interventions (Develop a Standard of Living Index Village-wise) ;
2.4 To get objective description of social impacts than what people might tell publicly ;
2.5 To identify requirement of modifications in the existing CSR-CD activities in order to take
care of the changing needs of the communities ;
2.6 To assess the level of community participation and consultation through CSR-CD
activities.
2.7 Evaluate the nature of communication and consultation between the stakeholders for the
various CD projects.
2.8 To document all the findings in a systematic manner as may be required later for
collaborating with other project activities or for the purpose of funding more.
3. METHODOLOGY OF SURVEY
3.1 The evaluation for each village is required to be done separately and subsequently
compiled to get an overall assessment with clear-cut comparison with National, State,
District, Mandal level data and also with previously conducted NAS and SIE data for each
Development Index. The list of Villages in which impact evaluation is to be conducted are

3.2 Approach: - The approach would be participatory in nature. Study can be divided into two
phases i.e., Conceptualization & Collection of Data
3.2.1 Conceptualization : In this phase an in-depth study of all related literature including past
surveys, reports, studies, etc., as part of interventions made by NTPC, is required to be
done. An action plan including Interview schedules would be submitted to NTPC during
this phase.
3.2.2 Data Collection: The Questionnaire design and sample frame work for this purpose will be
designed by the Consultant and get it approved with NTPC prior to putting it to use.
3.2.3 The instruments used to collect data for these investigations will be developed by the
Consultant in coordination with NTPC, Simhadri. The qualitative and quantitative data to
be collected from primary as well as secondary sources based on the indicators as
mentioned against each broad area. Data from primary source may be collected through
semi-structured interview / questionnaires / focused group discussions with community
people / representatives. The suggestive format for collection of information on list of CD
activities, development indicators, etc., are given in Annexure-I, II & III.
The feedback will be taken from the people for whom CSR-CD activities have been carried
out in order to assess their awareness level and perception about the programs executed.
Data and Feedback should be collected by using systematic scientific sampling method so
that each respondent truly represent the community and would fill up the format at
Annexure-IV.
3.2.4 It is anticipated that a variety of methodologies will include a review of existing
Documentation. An assessment will be made of the adequacy of baseline socio-economic
survey / NAS and project census data. The study will also be based on the collection of
primary data through structured survey and other means using rigorous statistical analysis
wherever appropriate. The questionnaire design, sample frame work will be designed to
develop a comparable data base of "before" and "after" development conditions. The
survey will generally incorporate household questionnaire which obtains information on
the key indicators of CD plan progress, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability.
3.3 Monitoring and Review : Periodic monitoring & review of evaluation process right from
conceptualization upto submission of final report shall be carried out by NTPC. Timely
completion of the evaluation process shall be ensured by the agency. The agency shall
submit weekly progress report as well as schedule in advance for the next week activities.
3.4 Analysis & Interpretation: A suggestive format for the same is given at Annexure-V.
Analysis and interpretation of the given qualitative and quantitative information shall be
carried out. This would entail the summary of all findings.
3.5 Submission of draft & final report : Consolidated draft report with all the findings is to be
submitted to NTPC Simhadri for review and comments. On receipt of comments, if any,
the same are to be incorporated, then the final report shall be prepared and submitted.
However, after submission of draft report, but before finalization of final report, a detailed
presentation is required to be organized by the agency in presence of NTPC authorities.
3.6 Collection of Data : The data collected should be qualitative & quantitative in nature and the data collected for
each Development Indicator shall be in accordance with National Level / State Level
parameters defined in Census / Gazette / Other relevant Govt. Reports / Surveys / NAS /

B. NEED ASSESSMENT SURVEY (N.A.S)
1.0 BACKGROUND OF NEED ASSESSMENT SURVEY (N.A.S) :
As a responsible corporate entity with thrust on Community Development, NTPC-Simhadri
focuses on implementing various Community Development programmes in the affected /
neighbouring villages. To accomplish this mission, it is imperative to carry out Need
Assessment Survey (NAS) to identify social, economic and cultural needs of the villages,
societies that can facilitate in formulating a comprehensive long-term development
programmes. It’s a way of assessing of what the group or community members see as their
most important needs for improving the community life. The results of the survey then
guide future actions. Generally, the needs that are rated most important are the one that get
addressed on priority.
Needs could be of three kinds – (1) Felt Needs (2) Perceived Needs and (3) Forced
(Put on) Needs:
(1) Felt Needs are those, which are of immediate requirements in terms of day to day life
of people, un fulfilment of these needs is felt by people in their life and restrict their
capacity to realise their full potential.
(2) Perceived Needs are those, which others (outsiders) perceive, which are often not real
and critical in nature. Any programme based on them fails to mobilise people or
generate support and ultimately does not achieve its objectives in terms of benefits
and sustainability.
(3) Forced (Put on) Needs are those needs that are influenced by local leaders and
creamy layer of any community. These needs are not for the greater common good
but deliberately designed by this creamy layer for their own good.
Therefore, the NAS has to make clear-cut distinction between different kinds of needs and
come out with set of felt needs and prioritize them on the basis of criticality.
2.0 NAS HELPS TO UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS OF COMMUNITY:
I. To learn more about what group or community needs are, to get a more honest and
objective description of needs than people might tell publicly, to become aware of
possible needs that can never be seen or perceived as non-existent, to document
needs as received in many applications, to make sure any activities undertaken are in
line with the needs that are expressed by the community.
And also for two more reasons, which are less commonly understood:-
II. To get more group and community support for the actions that will be undertaken.
III. To get “Community Participation” and more people actually involved in the
subsequent action itself.
Further, the NAS critically analyses the gaps between needs and available resources in
terms of government/local bodies, NTPC’s erstwhile/existing interventions to avoid
wastage of resources because of duplicity.
3.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE ‘NEED ASSESSMENT SURVEY’:
3.1 To prepare a comprehensive target profile. This will consist of the following:
3.1.1 Demographic profile: total population, sex ration, number of people in different groups,
like infants, children, adults, old aged, prevalence of marginalised section SC/ST, economic
status of the population, etc.
3.1.2 Quality of Life: Various parameters on households, etc.
3.1.3 Infrastructure available –
i. Schools
ii. Roads
iii. Health care facilities
