Executive Summary

1. The Government of India has requested the World Bank to provide financing for about 450 km of roads that enhance connectivity in Mizoram. The Mizoram State Roads II Regional Connectivity Project therefore aims to enhance regional connectivity of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh with an up-gradation of road connectivity in Mizoram. The Project Development Objective is to improve intra-state connectivity for Mizoram residents and regional road connectivity for Mizoram and NE India to Bangladesh and Myanmar. The residents of the North East Region, Bangladesh and Myanmar and countries beyond should benefit from the increased regional connectivity which is expected to result in increased trade and economic development over the longer term.

2. The present report pertains to the Chhumkhum - Chawngte project road which is 41.53 km in length. It lies within the administrative boundaries of Lunglei district. The project road starts at Chhumkhum village (KM 0+000) and provides connectivity to the Lunglei – Tlabung- Kawrpuichhuah road that leads to connect to neighbouring Bangladesh. The entire section of the road lies in hilly and mountainous terrain and traverses through six villages namely, Chhumkhum, Rangte, Lalnutui, Chawngte-L, Rualalung and Luangrang. The road ends at the entry point of Chawngte (KM 41+530). The condition of road is very bad and approximately 80% bituminous surface has been damaged and become the earthen road with poor riding quality making travelling arduous and difficult.

3. Socio-economic profile of the project affected households has been worked out on the basis of Census & Socio-economic survey conducted for structures and other properties likely to be affected. The project shall affect 373 PAHs comprising 1735 PAPs. The average size of the household works out to be 4.6. The PAPs include 6.34% children, 46.11% males and 47.55% females. In terms of distribution of PAHs by Religion and Social Category, all the PAHs are Christians and are Scheduled Tribes.

4. In terms of education levels, those who have completed primary schooling and upper primary schooling comprise about 31.94%. 43.38% of the PAPs are educated up to Class XII. About 4.62% of the PAPs have obtained graduation and 1.35% possess post-graduation and above degrees.

5. Occupation of PAPs in the project area is varied. It includes primary and service sector activities. 67.62% of the PAPs are engaged in agriculture indicating high dependence on the activity. 16.90% are housewives, while 6.26% are in service and 2.4% of PAPs are in the teaching profession.

6. In respect of household income, respondents provided indicative household’s monthly income. For the purpose of analysis households were grouped into different income categories. 68.74% of PAHs lie in the income category of Rs. 3501/- to Rs. 10,000/-, followed by 11.69% of PAHs in the income category of Rs. 10001 to Rs. 20,000/- It is recorded that 9.07% of PAHs are having income in the range of Rs. 20,001/- to Rs. 40,000/- . Further an income of more than Rs. 40,000/- is earned by 1.67% PAHs.

7. Efforts have been made to minimize the adverse impacts on the structures along the existing road by avoidance of the existing road by proposing diversions/realignments away from settlements, particularly in light of heavy traffic envisaged once the road is upgraded. PWD has finalized these two diversions based on technical, financial considerations and in consultation with community ascertaining broad support. The proposed realignments are near to existing road and therefore would not deprive connectivity to the villages. Though the land acquisition for the proposed realignments would be slightly more when compared to upgrading of the existing road, it would result in lesser impacts on structures, PAPs and also address road safety concerns.

8. The existing land width available with PWD varies from 5 - 8.5 meters. The width of road will be enhanced up to 18- 24 meters. The project shall require Land acquisition of 68.442 ha across the entire stretch.

9. The project shall impact 373 PAHs. Of these, 73.19% (273 PAHs) are land owners and remaining (100 PAHs) are Structure owners owing 104 structures.

10. The project would impact 26 community/common properties. It includes Churches, drinking water sources, public conveniences, community hall, schools, health facilities, waiting sheds, village council building, etc.

11. The cut-off date for land acquisition is 13th August 2013 i.e. date of issuance of Section 4(1) notification under LA Act, 1894. For other occupants without a valid pass/permit the start date of the Census and Socio-economic Survey i.e. November 23, 2013 is the cut-off date.

12. Public information and Free Prior Informed Consultations (FPIC) were held in all the six villages during the social screening and census and socio-economic survey stages which covered individual consultations and public meeting. Also the Special Committee constituted to determine rates of various assets held separate meetings with a wide range of stakeholders in each village. Participants included: potential project affected persons (PAPs), local community, representatives from the PWD i.e. Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO) and other relevant district officials. People were informed in advance, and allowed to participate in free and fair manner. This resulted in active participation by the people in making meaningful contribution during project preparation stage and in obtaining the broad community support.

13. During consultations brief description about the project, road development agency, involvement of the funding agency, likely adverse impacts and positive impacts, employment generation, entitlements applicable for different types of loses, etc. were discussed and opinion of people was solicited. Major concerns expressed by the communities include: a) In Luangrang village people opined that project road should not by-pass their village considering the probable economic impacts of diversion from their village; b) timely and adequate compensation should be paid as per discussions held; c) additional community infrastructural works should be provided under the project.

14. Communities perceived the positive impacts to be: more business and work opportunities during construction, better access to markets and other places, increase in land price. Negative impacts envisaged by the communities included: loss of land, structures and other common properties, likely increase in number of accidents due to increased vehicle speed Overall they were appreciative of the proposed project and conveyed their support. They also indicated their willingness to participate during implementation of the project.

15. A Social Management Framework had been prepared by the Public Works Department, Government of Mizoram that formed the basis for preparation of a combined Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous People Development Plan (RAP & IPDP) in view of entire population of the state being designated as “Scheduled Tribes”, as per Schedule VI of the Constitution of India. The SMF includes resettlement and rehabilitation principles and approach to be followed in mitigating project induced adverse impacts, entitlement matrix, census and socio-economic survey, acquisition process through negotiated settlement, preparation of SIA and RAP & IPDP, strategies for mainstreaming gender, income and livelihood restoration, HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, framework for Consultation and Participation, institutional arrangements at PIU, project levels and grievance redressal mechanism.

16. Institutional arrangements include Project Director, PWD, who will be overall responsible for the implementation of RAP & IPDP. He/she will have delegated administrative and financial powers for

the implementation of the project including RAP & IPDP implementation. Specifically, Institutional arrangement shall include augmenting the capacity of PIU, PWD with regard to land acquisition, and implementation of RAP & IPDP and management of other social issues. The Project Director will be assisted by the SLAO, a Social Development Specialist and Resettlement and Rehabilitation Manager (RRM) at site and other support staff at PIU and RRM managers at project road level. For the implementation of RAP & IPDP, the PWD will engage the services of RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency (NGO) having experience in resettlement and rehabilitation issues. The RAP & IPDP implementation agency will work in close co-ordination with RRM at project road level and report to PIU. Broad roles and responsibilities of implementation agency are: to verify PAPs; undertake public information campaign; prepare and distribute identity cards to PAPs; assist PAPs in all matters related to compensation and R&R; organize consultations at regular interval; identify and organize training as per needs of PAPs for income generation and institutions for imparting training; submit monthly progress reports, etc. In addition, a Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) shall have R&R expert as one of the team members to help monitor the implementation of RAP & IPDP. The CSC shall submit monthly monitoring report for one year and subsequently quarterly monitoring reports for the remaining period of the project to the PIU, PWD.

17. A Special Committee with broad representation of relevant departments, village councils and NGOs has already been constituted to determine the replacement value of lands, structures and other properties (trees, crops and other assets (tube well, hand pump, etc.).

18. The GRC will comprise Project Director, PWD; Additional Deputy Commissioner of concerned district; RRM, representatives of the concerned Village Council President or his/her authorised representative, PAPs and RAP & IPDP implementation agency and an opinion leader as co-opted member. Grievances of PAPs in writing will be brought to GRC for redressal by the RAP & IPDP implementation agency. The RAP & IPDP implementation agency will provide all necessary help to PAPs in presenting his/her case before the GRC. The GRC will respond to the grievance within 7 days. The GRC will meet once in 15 days but may meet more frequently, depending upon the number of such cases. Grievances brought to the GRC shall be redressed within a time period of one month (30 days) from the date of receipt of grievance. The decision of the GRC will not be binding on the PAPs i.e., shall not debar PAPs taking recourse to court of law.

19. Internal monitoring will be carried out by the PIU, PWD with assistance from NGO and RRM and a quarterly report will be submitted to the World Bank. The external agency (third party) will conduct assessment bi-annually for project road and would present detailed information on process and progress of RAP & IPDP implementation. It would highlight issues, if any that need attention of the PIU, PWD and suggest corrective measures for improving implementation. All quarterly Monitoring and Mid and End-term Evaluation reports shall be submitted to the World Bank for review.

20. Considering the long rainy season prevalent in the project area and whole state, approximately a period of 5-6 months (May - October) is not available for construction works, the RAP & IPDP Implementation period is proposed to be 24 months. However RAP & IPDP implementation needs to be scheduled in a manner so that initial activities such as verification, measurement etc. can be completed during the dry period. The other activities such as preparation of micro plan, approval, disbursement and other necessary documentation can be completed during the rainy season. The RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency would be mobilized three months prior to mobilization of the contractor at site so that civil works is not affected.

21. Information and education campaign on HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) will be conducted by the IA during the RAP & IPDP implementation period. The campaign will target the construction workers at labour camps, truckers at parking places, general people near

markets/haats and other strategic locations along the road. The IA will develop network with Mizoram State Aids Control Society and other relevant agencies, particularly local NGOs working for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. Hand bills, brochures, leaflets meant to create awareness about HIV/AIDS and risk/danger involved shall be printed in local language and distributed to target groups. Posters, hoardings indicating prevention from HIV/AIDs shall be displayed at suitable locations for the benefit of general people. Approaches adopted to prevent spread of HIV in project area would include. Sensitization of Gate Keepers to get a buy-in and to mobilize their involvement; Interventions around existing health service structures

22. The project will provide income restoration opportunities by way of skill development training and linkage with the on-ongoing government schemes. Implementing Agency with support from PIU will assist PAPs in making a choice for feasible income generation activities. Market feasibility study and training need assessment shall be undertaken by the Implementing Agency to enable the PAPs to choose the most viable and promising income restoration programs. The Implementing Agency will play a proactive role to mobilize various government schemes in the concerned district for the benefit to PAPs, particularly BPL, WHH and other vulnerable groups through self-help groups (SHGs) and Common Interest Groups (CIGs) or individually. Some of the potential activities the mandate of the PWD department (executing the road project), the complexity of implementation of the options, and the sustained effort that that may be required to make it viable, include: a) Construction of market sheds along the new road at a convenient location for some villages to sell their green products (i.e. vegetable and fruits) etc.; b) Promotion of backyard poultry; c) Nursery for orange plantation; and d) Organizing capacity building of the community institutions to take up the proposed activities

23. The Executive Summary of the draft RAP & IPDP, along with the list of PAPs with the impacted assets shall be translated in local language - Mizo (Roman script for the Mizo language) and disclosed at concerned Village Council offices, PWD and District Administration offices. The Executive Summary of final RAP & IPDP and other project related documents/ relevant information shall be translated in Mizo language and made available at Project Authority’s state and project offices. The final documents in full will replace the draft documents in Project Authority’s website as well as at World Bank’s Infoshop. The list of eligible persons (PAPs) for disbursement of benefits shall be separately disclosed at concerned Village Council Offices/ Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to ensure transparency.

24. During RAP & IPDP implementation all project affected women would be consulted on a bi-monthly basis by the women members of the RAP & IPDP IA. Compensation for land and assets lost being same for all the affected families, women headed households would be provided adequate attention and counseling by the IA during implementation. Women's participation would be initiated through Self-Help Group formation in each of the villages affected by the project. These groups would then be linked to special development schemes of the Government, like Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY). There will be involvement of local women also in the local labor force. Foreseeing the involvement of women both directly and indirectly in the construction activities, certain provisions such as Temporary Housing, Health facilities, Day Crèche Facilities, exemption from night shift in construction Works, Education Facilities would be made available for the welfare of women and children, in particular during the road construction work.

25. The estimated resettlement budget is about Rs. 46.93 Crores which covers compensation for land, structure, and other assets and resettlement and rehabilitation assistances, institutional cost, awareness program and training, etc.

The project road starts at Chhumkhum village (KM 0+000) and provides connectivity to the Lunglei - Tlabung – Kawrpuichhuah road that leads to Bangladesh. The entire section of the road lies in the hilly and mountainous terrain and traverses through six villages namely, Chhumkhum, Rangte, Lalnutui, Chawngte-L, Rualalung and Luangrang. The area of the project road is hilly with a small strip of low lying riverine plain along the western side of the Chamdur Valley. Landslides are common especially during rainy season. The road alignment passes through frequently

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road cultivated jhum land, Forest plantation, Forest reserves, habitation etc. The road ends at the entry point of Chawngte (new chainage KM 41+430). The project road is classified as Other District Road (ODR).

1.2 Existing Road Conditions

The project road was constructed by PWD, Mizoram during initial insurgency period (late 1960s) in the state. The whole work was executed on urgent basis due to security reason. As such, sound engineering designs and practices could not be applied at the time of construction. As a result, the road has been characterized by the presence of undesirable gradients and sharp curves at many places. However, in spite of the poor condition of this road, it remains the most important lifeline for the people in the South western part of Mizoram. Pavement work of the road was taken up in 1991-92 and black topping was completed in the year 1994. Later on resurfacing of the project road was taken up under World Bank Aided, MSRP Phase -1, in 2006. Most of the retaining walls / wing walls have collapsed and the road formation width have also breached at many locations. Due to these shortcomings coupled with inability to provide adequate level of maintenance henceforth, a major portion of pavement got damaged extensively. As a result the road has many pot holes and bad patches. At present, it is very hard for vehicles to ply, affecting transport of food and essential commodities. It is therefore proposed to take up strengthening and improvement of the road eliminating all the aforesaid deficiencies for better connectivity of the area. The improvement and up gradation of the road would also enhance riding quality with faster movement of the vehicles.

The project road is not located in a legally defined eco-sensitive area and there is no wildlife sanctuary and national park within 10 km from the project road. It does not require clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Government of India as the road is classified as Other District Road (ODR) which does not fall under the purview of the MoEF notification. However, the project requires clearances from the Government of Mizoram (GoM) and World Bank before commencement of construction work.

1.3 Salient Features of the Project Road

Existing road (from KM 0+000 to KM 40+000 and again from KM 45+000 to KM 47+430) passes through mountainous terrain having a ground slope of 20% to 30 % throughout. Another stretch of the existing road (from KM 40+000 to KM 45+000) passes through steep terrain exceeding 30% of ground slope. Proposed upgrading of Chhumkhum to Chawngte road includes widening to 2-lanes, strengthening, realignment, geometric improvement, retaining walls and culverts. In order to improve the gradient of this road, some

Chapter 2 – Objectives and Study Methodology

2.1 Objectives

The objective of the study was to assess the adverse impacts of the project road on property and livelihood of people and to prepare a Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples Development plan to assist the PAPs in getting their entitlements – compensation and applicable R&R assistances in line with the agreed Social Management Framework that would enable them to improve or at least restore their living standards and income earning capacity. Specific objectives of the study are as under:

• Collect details for assessing extent of loss of properties (land, structure and others) of individual as well as that of community and loss of livelihood;

• Based on the collected data, segregate properties and assets likely to be affected by type of ownership and construction, etc.;

• Carry out Free Prior Informed Consultations in a culturally appropriate manner • Establish a baseline profile of affected population, sources of income, access to social services and

facilities, etc.

Various activities that were carried out as part of the study are summarized as under. 2.2 Collection of Right of Way (ROW) Data

As there is no concept of Right of Way in the state and therefore no extra land is in possession of PWD, the existing formation width is considered as the Right of Way. It therefore requires additional land across the entire stretch for widening purposes. The formation width varies between a minimum of 18 meters to a maximum of 24 meters. 2.3 Identification of affected land plots

Land plots affected as per the design were identified by the SLAO, PWD. Based on this identification, details related to the land such as ownership, assets on land were collected. 2.4 Census and Socio Economic Survey

Based on the information provided by the SLAO from the above mentioned exercise and in order to generate baseline on socio-economic conditions of PAPs and assess extent of impacts a Census and socio-economic survey was conducted covering owners and tenants using an appropriately devised questionnaire. The baseline data would be used for monitoring the status of project affected persons during and after the implementation of project. The socio-economic questionnaire covered data generation on demography, education, occupation, sources of income, land holding, ownership of dwelling and other properties, consumer durables and consumer assets owned by the households, livestock holding, availability of basic facilities (drinking water, toilet, bath room, electricity, etc.) and their views on the project and option for resettlement and rehabilitation.

The centre line was marked on the ground by the Design Consultant team. The survey team followed the centre line marking along with boundaries marked on both sides. It was carried out by a team of surveyors recruited locally under the overall supervision of an R&R expert. They carried out the survey amongst all PAHs and business units within the proposed ROW. The questionnaire was administered to Head of the Household and in his/her absence to an adult member of the household for response.

Structures and other properties likely to be affected within the proposed ROW, i.e. maximum of 15 meters from the centerline on the hill side and 9 m on valley side were identified. Dimension of structures likely to be affected were recorded. Simultaneously, names of owners and/or occupants of structures with or without valid

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road patta/permits, tenants associated with the likely affected structures and properties were also noted. The data was recorded in a format and used to assess the project impacts. 2.5 Stakeholder Consultations

Consultations were held during screening as well as during survey stages. It was followed by Free Prior and Informed Consultations at all villages with potential Project Affected Persons (PAPs), Village Council President and other stakeholders, by the PIU staff including Project Director, Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO) and Social and Environment Consultant. The purpose of these consultations was to inform people about the proposed project and its features and also to understand and know their issues, concerns and perceptions. Further information on entitlements applicable for different categories of impacts were conveyed. In order to ensure significant participation village councils were informed in advance specifying date, venue and time. Design alignments including the reasons behind proposed diversions were informed and explained. Expected benefits and likely anticipated adverse impacts were conveyed. Details on the existing livelihood opportunities, occupations currently pursued, on-going development activities, programs operated by NGOs in the area, were collected. Concerns, anxieties, fears and suggestions, if any were elicited and recorded. Overall Community support to the project was ascertained.

Besides, as part of project preparation, a State level workshop was held on November 18th, 2013 to inform and seek suggestions and observations from a wide range of stakeholders on the Draft Social management Framework. Details of the stakeholder consultations are presented in Chapter 8.

Chapter 3 – Socio-Economic Profile

3.1 Introduction

The following sections provide briefly the socio-economic profile of Mizoram state, Project Influence Area (PIA) and Direct Impact Zone (DIZ). The project influence area has been considered as the administrative boundaries of the district i.e. Lunglei District whereas Direct Impact Zone are the urban areas and villages through which the project road traverses and upgrading of project road is likely to affect land, structure and other properties.

3.2 Overview of Mizoram

Mizoram with a geographical area of 21,081 sq kms is located in the north-eastern part of the country between 22o 19’ to 24o 19’ North latitudes and 92o 16’ to 93o 26’ East longitudes. It is a landlocked state surrounded by Myanmar in the east, Manipur and Assam in the north, Tripura and Bangladesh in the west and again Myanmar in the south. It has a total of 722 km boundary with Myanmar and Bangladesh. Geographically, it is 277 kms from north to south, and 121 kms from east to west. Mizoram is divided into 8 districts that are headed by a Deputy Commissioner. The capital of Mizoram is Aizawl.

The location of Mizoram along with mountainous terrain has a pleasant climate. It is generally cool in summer and not very cold in winter. During winter, the temperature varies from 11o C to 21o C and in the summer it varies between 20o C to 29o C. The entire area is under the direct influence of the monsoon. It rains heavily from May to September and the average rainfall in Aizawl is 208 cm. Mizoram has great natural beauty and endless variety of landscape and is very rich in flora and fauna. The State is also known as the "Land of Blue Mountains". Almost all kinds of tropical trees and plants thrive in Mizoram.

Mizoram is the cradle of diverse communities like the Lusei, Ralte, Paite, Bete, Powi, Lakher, Hmar, Riang, Tlanglau, Pangs, Bawm, Bru, Chakma and others. They are mostly of Mongoloid race. The entire population is designated as “Scheduled Tribes”, as per Schedule VI of the Constitution. The Mizos are a close-knit society with no class distinction and no discrimination on grounds of sex. A very large majority of them are cultivators and the village exists like a big family. Christianity is predominant religion of the state. Inhabitants of other religions include Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and others.

Mizos practice what is known as ‘Jhum Cultivation’. They slash down the jungle, burn the trunks and leaves and cultivate the land. All their other activities revolve around the jhum operations and their festivals are all connected with such agriculture operations. Mizo society is a patriarchal society and the male head of the

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road family control the social economic and religious affairs. However, women in social life enjoy freedom and are engaged in various economic activities.

As per Census 2011, it has a population of 10, 97,206 comprising 50.61% male and 49.39% female populations. The sex ratio stands at 976 indicating substantial difference between male-female populations. The decadal growth of population during 2001-2011 was 23.48%. The population in the age group of 0-6 years constitutes 15.36% of the total population. The Scheduled Caste population comprises 0.11%, whereas tribal population constitutes 94.43% of the total population. The population density is 52 persons/ sq. km as compared to 382 persons/ sq. km at national level (Census 2011). The literacy rate at 91.33% is one of the highest in the country. In Census 2011, gender wise literacy rates were 47.22% (male) and 44.11% (female), implying a difference of 3.11%. Workers constitute 44.36% of the total population. Of the total workers, main workers and marginal workers comprise 85.27% and 14.73% respectively. Among main workers, those engaged in agricultural activities comprise 55.18%. Non-workers constitute 55.64% of the total population indicating high dependency ratio. Urban population of Mizoram is more than 50% and a large majority of urban population are residing in Aizawl. An overview of the State is presented below in Table 3.1.

Mizoram is one of the fastest growing economies among the states of India with an estimated per capita income of Rs 54,689 during 2011-12, while the national per capita income during the same period was estimated at Rs 61,564. The HDI score of Mizoram for 2004-05 stands at 0.584 which is highest amongst the 8 north eastern states and ranks No. 1. Mizoram had the second highest GSDP growth during the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012) in Northeast India at 11% exceeding the target of 7.8% which is also much higher than the national average of 7.9%. During the 10th Five Year Plan (2002-2007), the Gross State Domestic Product

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road (GSDP) grew at 5.7 per cent. The service sector remained the dominating sector in the state's economy by contributing 58% to 60% during the last 5-7 years, while industry and agriculture sector contributed 20 to 22% and 18 to 20% respectively during the same period even as around 60 to 70% of the population depended on agriculture and allied sectors. Mizoram's economy grew by 10.37% in real terms in 2012-13 over the previous year against the national growth rate of 5%. The age-old practice of Jhum cultivation is carried out annually by a large number of people living in rural areas. As per Economic Survey, 32% of the cultivated area in the state is under Jhum cultivation. A New Land Use Policy was formulated the state government to dissuade or to help farmers move away from practicing Jhum cultivation. NLUP focuses on land reclamation, promotion of agri-horticultural and plantation crops, animal husbandry, fishery and micro-enterprises for income and employment generation in urban and rural areas. It will give focussed attention to preserve and regenerate natural resources particularly forests and bio-diversity. The specific poverty line for 2011-12 indicate that the monthly per capita for rural and urban areas in the state is Rs. 1066/- and 1155/- respectively. 20.40% of the total population is below poverty line as per Tendulkar methodology1. The poverty ratios are substantially lower than India as a whole (37.2%). Mizoram, as a whole, is economically backward. Lack of infrastructure facilities (good road network) and poor accessibility have constrained the growth and diversification of economy in the state. The road network of Mizoram comprises primary and secondary roads having a total length of 6840 kms. The road density of 33.44 kms2 / 100 sq. kms is below India’s national average of 48.80 kms3 /100 sq. kms. Other problems faced by the state were the poor mineral resources, non-availability of good infrastructure and communication facilities, shortage of capital and lack of modern skills. The mountainous terrain has more or less isolated the state from the rest of the country and also inhibited improved communications within the state. The economy is agro-based and items produced in the households are primarily of low value and caters to the local needs.

3.3 Project Influence Area (PIA)

The project influence area is Lunglei district which is one of the 8 districts in the state. The district lies in the centre of the State. The district is bounded on the north by Mamit and Aizawl districts, on the west by Bangladesh, on the south by Lawngtlai district, on the southeast by Saiha district, on the east by Myanmar and on the northeast by Serchhip District. The district of Lunglei is situated at a distance of 235 km from Aizwal – the capital of Mizoram and is easily accessible by well-maintained roads. The district occupies an area of 4536 km². Lunglei town is the administrative headquarters of the district. The district has a pleasant climate. It is generally cool in summer and not very cold in winter. In winter the temperatures vary from 8° C to 28° C and in summer, it is between 18 and 32 degree Celsius. Relative humidity is Moderate and during the south-west monsoon and heavy precipitation is usually received during the months from May up to September every year. The average annual rainfall is about 2558mm. The hottest period starts from the month of March up to August every year. During the rainy season, it is usually heavily clouded. A clear and cool weather starts appearing from the month of September up to January the next year. Based on the variation in temperature, rainfall, humidity and other general weather conditions four different types of seasons are observed here. They are:

i. The cold and winter season (Thlasik): Winter season starts from the month of December to first half of February.

ii. Spring season (Thal): Spring is the shortest season of the year. It starts from the second half of the February to the first half of March.

iii. Summer season/ Rainy season (Nipui/Fur): It is the longest season and starts from mid-March till the first half of October. Heavy precipitation generally starts from mid-May and it continues up to mid-October. These five months contribute about 3/4th of the total annual rainfall. Hence it limits the working season.

iv. Autumn season (Favang): It starts from second part of October to November. This season is very pleasant as both the temperature and rain comes down and it is the season of harvesting major crops like paddy.

The main communities inhabiting Lunglei District are the Mizos and Chakmas. In the eastern side of the district, Lai communities are the main inhabitants. Lunglei district has a population of 1,61,428 (2011 Census) which is 14.71% of total Mizoram population. The population density per sq. km is 34 according to the Census of India, 2011.

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road Overall literacy rate of Lunglei District in 2011 was 88.86% compared to 91.15% in 2001. Male and female literacy rates are 92.04% and 85.49% respectively. Total literate persons in Lunglei District were 1,21,122 of which 64,515 were male and 56,607 were females.

Lunglei has 9.97% of the forest land within its total area. Most of the indigenous local inhabitants of the district of Lunglei depend on agriculture and earn their livelihood from growing crops. The cash crops of coffee and rubber help the district to earn its revenue. The farmers of the district mostly practice the traditional method of shifting cultivation, which is popularly referred to as jhum. Rice is the principal crop in the agricultural economy. Cottage industries produce hand loomed cloth, furniture, agricultural equipment, woven textiles, and bamboo and cane work. Lunglei is also the Church Headquarters of Baptist Church of Mizoram.Most of the agricultural activities take place during the monsoon season. During the winter season, there is no water supply for irrigation, except in the few locations, where water is pumped from the river and used to irrigate two cycles of rice crops. Rice is grown in the valleys and in the cultivated plots on the mountain sides. Crops are grown mostly rain fed depending upon the monsoon rainfall. It include: Cereals (upland Rice and Maize), Pulses (Rice bean, French Bean, Black Gram), Oilseed (Soya bean, Mustard, Sesame), Spices (Turmeric, Ginger, Chilies), Cotton, Sugarcane, different varieties of Squash grown on trellises on the mountain sides, leafy vegetables (Mustard, Cabbage, Cauliflower), Root vegetables (Potatoes, Carrots, Reddish), etc.

3.4 Socio-Economic Profile of Direct Impact Zone (DIZ)

The project road passes through six villages namely, Chhumkhum. Rangte, Lalnutui, Chawngte-L, Rualalung and Luangrung. However, Chawngte has become the headquarters of Chakma Autonomous District Council. As such census data of Chawngte and the other 5 habitations are included in this road stretches. Table 3.3 provides profile of Direct Impact Zone as per Census 2011.

ST population constitutes 100% of the total population in the corresponding areas. Literacy is an important indicator of measurement of development. Understanding of literacy level of likely project affected persons is important from rehabilitation point of view. People likely to be affected are mostly native of these villages and therefore socio-economic conditions of villagers are reflection of likely project affected persons. Table 3.3 above indicates that overall literacy rate (excluding the population of 0-6 years) is 93% in rural areas. Female literacy is very close to male literacy rate. The difference in male and female literacy rates in the areas is 2.35%. Percentage of workers engaged in different activities indicates the nature of employment available in the area. As per Census 2011, 49.68% are male and 26.23% are female workers. Main workers constitute 81.25%. Workers engaged in cultivation & agriculture to total workers 60.45%; Workers engaged in HH work to total workers 9.24%, Workers engaged other work to total workers is 28% and Marginal workers is 9.11%

Chapter 5 – Minimizing Adverse Impacts

5.1 Design Considerations

It is proposed to develop the roads to 2-lane National Highways standard (roadway width of 12m – comprising 2-lane carriageway width (7m) and shoulders of 2.5m on either side of the carriageway). Upgrading of project roads will be undertaken mostly on hill side (approximately 15 mtrs from the centerline on the hill side and 9 mtrs on valley side). Diversions/Realignments are proposed to avoid adverse impacts in view of linear settlements along the road and also to address road safety concerns.

5.2 Analysis of Alternatives

Two realignments are proposed under the project road. PWD has finalized these proposed realignments based on technical, financial considerations and in consultation with people ascertaining broad community support. The proposed realignments are near to existing road and therefore would not deprive villagers from accessing the road. Though the land acquisition for the proposed realignment would be slightly more than upgrading the existing road, it would result in lesser impacts on structures, PAPs and also address road safety concerns. Hence the villages would be benefitted with the proposed realignment. It also passes through an area with a much better topographical as well as soil conditions. Details of each re-alignment are given below:

Diversion/Realignment 1: The initial stretch of the Chhumkhum to Chawngte road passes through congested built-up areas of Chhumkhum village. The overall existing alignment passes through steep terrain which are unstable and landslide prone at many locations that could pose serious problems. Due to these reasons, it was felt absolutely necessary to realign the existing initial stretch of the Chhumkhum to Chawngte road between chainage KM 0+000 to 0.600. For improvement of existing road in some stretches re-grading is proposed.

Based on the comparison, Option 2 i.e. proposed diversion/realignment has been finalized.

Diversion/Realignment 2: The realignment has been proposed for Lungrang village 23.800 to 25.450 to avoid structure damage in a large scale.

Chapter 6 – Socio-Economic Profile of the Project Affected Households A Census and Socio-Economic survey was carried out to collect baseline information of the Project Affected Households. The purpose was to understand social and economic conditions of project affected households and the likely impacts households would experience due to proposed upgrading. Data collected included information with respect to religion, social category, social group, land and structures, present usage of structures, education, occupation, sources of income, ownership of fixed assets and consumer items, awareness about the projects, choice with regard to compensation and resettlement and rehabilitation, etc. The baseline information generated through household socio-economic survey would be used by the monitoring and evaluation for evaluating the resettlement plan objectives. The socio-economic condition is discussed in the following sections to establish the profile of the project affected persons. 6.1 Social Profile

The project shall affect 373 PAHs comprising 1735 PAPs. Socioeconomic details of these households are given below:

The affected 1735 PAPs include 6.34% children, 46.11% males and 47.55% females. Nearly three-fourths (74%) of PAPs are those losing land. Distribution of PAPs by type of ownership of land and structures is presented in Table 6.1

Six PAHs reported that they had availed loans from Banks. The loan amount ranges from 1.0 to 10 lakhs. Most PAHs reported that they are not habituated to take loan as there is hardly any scope for organizing any kind of production and marketing. The poor road condition is one of the major factors. 109 PAHs reported having bank accounts (See Tables 6.10 and 6.11 in Annexure 6). Under the New Land use Policy (NLUP), 69 households have received amounts that vary from Rs. 7000/- to 1.00 lakh for various activities such as Carpentry, Fishery, Grape Plantation, Piggery, Petty Trade, Wet Rice Cultivation (WRC), etc. in addition to training (See Tables 6.12 and 6.13 in Annexure 6). 69 PAHs own livestock and poultry. With respect to transportation facilities large majority of households own two wheelers and nearly 40% households possess two wheelers as well as four wheelers. Because of lack of adequate public transport system people prefer to have own means of transportation for commuting short distances. Basic Infrastructure: 52.01% of PAHs reported usage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as the main fuel used for domestic purpose. 38.34% of PAHs reported firewood as alternate source of fuel. Both LPG and firewood are used by 8.3% of PAHs. Main source of lighting was electricity as reported by 96% PAHs and the rest are from other sources. 44.5% PAHs have Pucca toilet facilities in their houses while Kutcha Pit is used by 48.8% PAHs. Community toilets are used by 1.1% of PAHs and the remaining 5.6% of PAHs do not have any facilities. 67.29% of the PAHs have piped water supply from PHED. About 1.61% of PAHs reported usage of Hand pumps and 22.25% have been using stream/ponds water. In terms of bathing facilities 49.1% of PAHs reported having facilities within their house premises and 20.4% of PAHs reported of having facilities outside their houses. 11% PAHs reported using community facilities, while 19.6% of PAHs did not provide response (See Tables 6.14 to 6.18 in Annexure 6).

6.3 Project Awareness

During survey, communities were requested for responses relating to their awareness on the project. Almost everyone indicated awareness about the project. It was also observed during the public consultations. Respondents indicated other villagers as the main source of information about the project. Many persons have come to know about the project through their interactions with survey teams of DPR consultant & Social consultants and from the Village Council President (VCP). Communities indicated multiple positive benefits

Among these key benefits indicated were: increase in business and employment opportunities, faster movement, better access and increase in land prices. The key adverse impacts perceived included loss of land, structures and common property resources and increase in road accidents due to increased vehicle speeds. A large majority of respondents indicated preference for cash compensation against the losses suffered and with regard to issue of Resettlement and Rehabilitation they preferred self-relocation, if required.

Chapter 7 – Social Impact Assessment

7.1 Introduction

Development projects generate not only positive impact/benefits but also cause adverse social impacts in terms of loss of land assets, non-land assets, loss of livelihood etc especially on vulnerable sections of the society who are susceptible to socio-economic risks. Identification of such anticipated adverse impacts and developing appropriate mitigation measures during project planning, design and implementation is essential for achieving social sustainability of any project. The cut-off date for land acquisition is 13th August 2013 i.e. date of issuance of Section 4(1) notification under LA act. For other occupants without a valid pass/permit the start date of the Census and socio-economic survey i.e. 23 November, 2013 is the cut-off date. Structures and other properties likely to be affected within the corridor of impact (varying from point to point i.e., keeping in view the maximum land width requirement for widening as per the design) were identified and then distance of structures from the centre line of the existing road was noted. Further, measurements of structure and other physical details were noted down in the format. Any structure (residential, commercial, residential cum commercial and other properties that fell within the corridor of impact i.e., proposed RoW), either partially or fully was taken as likely affected structures. Name of owner of the structure/ property and associated persons with the likely affected structures were recorded. Thereafter, census and socio-economic survey format was administered to the Head of the household or adult member of the household for collection of requisite data. The extent of impacts due to the proposed intervention (upgrading and improvements) is discussed in the following sections. 7.2 Project Impacts

The project would impact land, privately owned structures and common properties. Besides, communities are likely to experience construction stage impacts of a temporary nature. 7.2.1 Impact on Project Affected Households

The project shall impact 373 PAHs. Of these 373 PAHs, 73.19% (273) are those losing only land while 100 PAHs are losing both land and Structures (See Table 7.1 and 7.2 below).

Chapter 8 – Stakeholder Consultations

8.1 Introduction

Public information and consultation is an important method of involving various stakeholders particularly, local community with reference to the proposed development initiatives. The World Bank OP 4.10 on Indigenous Peoples too emphasizes “a process of free, prior, and informed consultation with the affected Indigenous People’s communities at each stage of the project, and particularly during project preparation, to fully identify their views and ascertain their broad community support for the project. Stakeholder Consultations provide a platform to participants to express their views, concerns and apprehensions that might affect them positively or negatively. Through participation and consultation stakeholders influence development initiatives, and decision making process. The effectiveness of participation and consultation is directly related to the degree of involvement by the likely project affected persons and the local community and integration of outcome of consultations wherever feasible in the proposed development initiatives.

The purpose of consultations was to inform people about the project, take note of their issues, concerns and preferences, and allow them to make meaningful choices. Consultations were held during the project preparation at both the State level and also the community level. It ensured participation of potential project affected persons (PAPs), local community and other stakeholders. People in general were informed in advance, and allowed to participate in free and fair manner. Consultations provided meaningful contributions with regard to reducing adverse impacts, address safety issues, etc. Concerns, views and suggestions expressed by the participants during these consultations were integrated into the design aspects wherever feasible. The following sections present details of the consultations.

8.2 Consultations with Communities

Consultations were held during social screening, census and socio-economic survey and also before the preparation of RAP & IPDP. The first round of consultation (screening stage) was followed by Free Prior and Informed Consultations at all villages with potential project affected persons (PAP), Village Council President and other stakeholders, by the PIU staff including Project Director, Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO) and Social and Environment Consultant. Consultations were held in all the villages along the project road. In order to ensure significant participation village councils were informed in advance specifying date, venue and time. The last round of consultation meetings was held in five villages namely, Chhumkhum, Rangte, Lalnutui, Rualalung and Chawngte-L along the road. Village wise details are given below.

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road The consultation meetings were presided over by the respective Village Council Presidents at each village. At the outset, the VCP introduced the consultant’s team with the villagers and stated the broad objective of such consultations. The Social Expert/ R & R Expert of the Social and Environment consultant provided brief description about the project (MSRP II), upgrading of project road (Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road), importance of consultations with likely project affected persons, local community and other stakeholders. Design alignments including the reasons behind proposed diversions were also informed and explained. Expected benefits and likely anticipated adverse impacts were conveyed. Entitlements applicable based on type and extents of impacts were conveyed as well. The consultations were held in local language (Mizo) with assistance from a local person who helped in interpretation as well as preparation of transcripts. The proceedings of the consultations were video and audio recorded as part of documentation process.

Photo 8.1 – Consultation at Chhumkhum village (L) and Rangte village (R)

A summary of consultations on various issues is presented below:

• It was observed that people in general were aware about the proposed development of the project from their interactions with the survey team of the DPR consultant and village council president. Broad community support for the project was observed in all the villages in view of the expected benefits of road construction. Initially, in one of the villages (Lungrang) there was some difference of opinion among the villagers with regard to upgrading of the existing road through village or having a diversion/re-alignment for the village. The villagers felt that such diversion would lead to loss of business. However, consultations with villagers carried out by the Project Director and PIU staff resulted in acceptance of diversion/re-alignment for the village in view of major resettlement and rehabilitation issues and safety concerns as well. Following the consultations held by Project Director, PIU, PWD, with the villagers on November 22, 2013 at Luangrang village, the village council president along with the NGOs agreed for the diversion/realignment of the Road (See Annexure 8.1). People of Chhumkhum accepted diversion/realignment of their road considering the likely impacts on their structures and also safety concerns and therefore felt that diversion will be the better option for the people of the village. The villagers of Rangte welcomed proposed upgradation of project road and expressed their satisfaction in efforts made to minimize impacts on structures.

• The villagers informed that the existing road condition has restricted the accessibility to market centres, places of better health and education facilities, district and state headquarters. The villagers also informed that without an improved road, development of the area is not possible. They further informed that average travel time from Chawngte to Lunglei (49 km) is about 4 - 5 hours. Particularly

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road

during rainy season, travelling is impossible and poses risks to alternative economic initiatives by the people in the area.

• Agriculture is the main economic activity of the large majority of people. Major agricultural produce include maize, pineapple, orange, vegetables, etc. People informed that widening of road will facilitate faster transportation of their produce which would fetch them better price. Further, it was emphasized that better road condition will drastically reduce both passenger and freight charges. The savings on the maintenance of vehicle and fuel charges by the transporters would probably be passed on to the users. Furthermore, increase in the frequency of transport services is likely to open up other economic activities as well in the area.

• On the issue of compensation for land which is likely to be acquired, majority of the villagers informed that they were not aware of the prevailing land rate as land transactions are not common in the area. They further informed that, in the past, villagers have voluntarily donated land for public purpose facilities like construction of Tourist Lodge, Community Hall, Market Shed, etc. They demanded suitable compensation and resettlement and rehabilitation assistance for land, structures and other assets likely to be affected. They confirmed that a Special Committee meeting was held in the village for fixing the land rates through consultative process. The land rates fixed in the said committee meeting were acceptable to land owners likely to lose land.

• The discussion also covered other issues like, HIV/AIDS, prevalent diseases, health services, ethnic and religious conflicts, poverty level, migration, child labour, presence of NGO and their influence, Self Help Groups, etc. On issue of health services and prevalent diseases, it was informed that the nearest good health facility is available at District Headquarters -Lunglei which is 4 to 5 hours journey from the project road. Bad road condition is a major hindrance in availing good health services. They also informed that Malaria was a common disease in the area. Though occurrence of the disease is gradually reducing but still many people suffer from this disease regularly. As regards HIV/AIDS, almost everyone was found having some knowledge of the deadly disease and broad methods of its spread. They however informed that incidence of HIV/AIDS has been not noticed in their villages. Further, they informed that in and out migrations from the villages are very limited and localized and therefore likelihood of intermingling of local community with outsiders is very limited. Besides, NGOs like Young Mizo Association (YMA) and MHIP have been working in the area organizing awareness programs on HIV/AIDS and other issues concerning community at large. Conflict among ethnic groups, incidence of child labour and human trafficking, etc. was not reported by the participants/villagers.

• Safety concerns: Project authorities responded that safety measures such as: Mandatory / Regulatory Signs, (b) Cautionary / Warning Signs and (c) Information Signs. Route Marker Signs, Traffic Safety Posts are provided in the design.

The people of these villages Chhumkhum. Rangte, Lalnutui, Chawngte-L, Rualalung and Lungrung have appreciated the proposed construction of Chhumkhum to Chawngte roads for it will facilitate economic activities in the region. Communities requested the officials concerned to expedite the work so that the transportation bottlenecks would be eliminated. The villagers expressed their willingness to involve and cooperate in the project activities such as survey and enumeration exercises and committed to render their services whenever needed. Special Committee meetings provided another opportunity to both project authorities and the communities to discuss, raise and respond to specific concerns of the communities. For this purpose two rounds of meetings at each village were held by the SLAO, PIU, PWD. SLAO commenced the process by issuing a letter addressed to: Deputy Commissioner, Lunglei, Environment Department, Agriculture department, Horticulture

Mizoram State Roads II – Regional Connectivity Project Page 30

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum – Chawngte Road department, Executive Engineer, Irrigation department, Village Council Presidents (VCPs) and secretaries of each affected village, Presidents and Secretaries of the Young Mizo Association (YMA) of each village. The purpose was to briefly inform them of the project and to request them to form an association of PAPs and to elect their representatives (2 nos.). Subsequently, in the month of November 2013, the SLAO visited each village to explain these representatives and expedite the process of formation of an association. In the month of November, SLAO issued another letter stating that the Special Committee meetings will be held in each village on a specified date to determine the replacement value of land structures, crops. These second round meetings were held between November 20-21, 2013. These meetings were well attended by the representatives of the aforementioned departments. Key issues and responses are given below

• Determining of replacement value and timing of compensation payments: Negotiations were held to

finalize the rates particularly of land as the rates varied across and within villages too. Factors considered included distance of the affected plots from the main village area; plains or steep area, etc.; recent sale considerations in the area; and comparison of rates prevalent in adjoining villages, in case there are no any recent transaction. Most of the villagers during consultations have raised the issue of compensation rates. They do not know about the rates till now. They have suggested not discriminating on the rate of the land where settlement is there. For other assets such as structures, crops, etc, it was explained that structure would be compensated as per Schedule of Rates of the PWD. Besides rates for crops, trees and structures are also linked to the cost index. SLAO assured the communities that the government is committed to this project and payment of compensation shall be done soon. People verbally agreed to these above discussions and rates and Minutes have been prepared for issuance by the PIU

• Communities wanted safeguards to some buildings on the upper edge on the road as they would be on the verge of collapse due to high cutting of the upper edge. Project authorities assured adequate safeguards will be taken during the construction stage to protect such buildings.

• Suggestions have come for ensuring the quality of the construction of roads. • In respect of livelihood options suggestions made are stated below:

i. Construction of market shed; ii. Undertake nursery for orange through CIGs;

iii. Piggery and poultry through CIGs; iv. Linkages with Banks for undertaking small scale business etc.

See Annexure 8.2 for list of participants.

8.3 State Level Consultations

As part of the preparation of the Social Management Framework (SMF) and also the Environment Management Framework (EMF) for the entire project, a State level workshop was held on 18th November, 2013. The workshop was organized to inform a wide range of stakeholders on the proposed road project that is being taken with World Bank assistance and to seek their suggestions and observations on the draft SMF. Key issues raised and responses given are presented below:

Key issues, points and concerns Responses given

BPL family and widows may be treated as Vulnerable Group if they are among the PAP

Under the project vulnerable groups would be the following:: i) Below Poverty Line (BPL), ii) Women Headed Households, iii) Schedule Castes, iv) Landless (small and marginal farmers), v) Elderly persons above the age of 60 years, vi) Destitute Orphans and vii) Disabled (mentally and physically), farmers who (after acquisition of land) become small/marginal farmers and also qualify for inclusion in BPL.

Vulnerable Group who suffer the most. He suggested that care should be taken to make

Verification survey of Land plots affected as per the design is being carried out by the PWD. . Based on this identification,

Key issues, points and concerns Responses given accurate assessment of the property losses by this group.

details related to the land such as ownership, assets on land were collected and shall form the basis for providing necessary Mitigation measures

Most of these Vulnerable Group are always the one who want their land to be acquired by the government because of compensation money.

The project shall ensure adequate measures to safeguard their interests and thereby ensure they are also beneficiaries. It will also include income restoration measures

If the compensation amount fixed by Special Committee is higher than that amount calculated from the rate fixed by the Collector, the amount fixed by the collector shall be paid by the collector as compensation and the remaining amount as assistance” , then if reverse is the case, what would be the solution

Assured that there should not be such case.

everybody should abstain from indulging in corruption in compensation and also request to formulate a method or system that appropriated compensation are paid to the rightful owner.

to make assessment of compensation more accurate and to make the process more transparent, NGO like YMA, MUP etc. are engaged to witness the measurement at site and also assured to all the participants that corruption practice shall not be prevailed towards LA process. Payments will be made straight to the Bank accounts of the affected persons. These processes would be monitored by internal monitoring as well as by External monitoring. Further World Bank shall supervise the project processes.

From the Entitlement Matrix it appears that land holder by way of Periodic Patta also have to be compensated, will this have adverse effect on future Land Acquisition Process as this entitlement is not according to LA Act 1894. This can make precedence in the case of compensation.

Poor villagers can’t always come to District headquarter to have their land pass issued or to engaged surveyor from revenue department, and that is why most of villagers don’t have LSC. Assistance will be paid to them not the compensation. Precautionary measures will be taken not to make any precedence that could have adversely affected on future LA Process.

Whether the current Revenue Dept’s. rate of compensation for crops/plants are reasonable e.g. Rate for Fruit bearing Zawngtah is Rs 1,000/- while the fruit it yield in a year can be up to Rs 10,000

This issue could be very controversial case. It is better that the current rate of 2011 prepared by Land Revenue & Settlement Dept. and adopted in Mizoram may be accepted as it is today. The classification of fruit bearing and non-fruit bearing is too wide ranges. Compensation base on girth size for plant may be more appropriate.

9.5 Methods for Assessment of Replacement Cost

The methods for assessment of replacement cost and determination of compensation for loss of land, structure, and other assets are discussed in the notes provided below:

Note 1 (i) Compensation would be determined by the Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO), Project Implementation Unit (PIU), PWD. The SLAO, while awarding the compensation shall consider recent sales and transfer of title deeds and registration certificates for similar type of land in the village and urban areas, as the case may be; (ii) A Special Committee has already been constituted by Govt. Notification dated 23rd August 2013 to determine replacement cost of lands, structures and other properties. The replacement value for the land and properties to be acquired will be calculated on either of the following methods: a. Taking into consideration 20 times of the annual value of gross production of the concerned land,

averaged over preceding 3 years; OR

b. Fixing up market value of land will be based on any transaction that may have taken place or the value assessed by considering the topography and accessibility of basic requirements.

The replacement value to be fixed up by the Special Committee shall be the higher one of the two amounts arrived at by the aforesaid two alternate methods. In case replacement value is higher than the market value determined by SLAO, the difference shall be paid in the form of assistance. The replacement value of the houses, buildings and other immovable assets will be determined as per current year BSR without depreciation. In case of partial impact, if the residual structure is rendered structurally unsafe or unviable the entire structure shall be considered affected and compensated accordingly. Similarly, for plants and trees the replacement costs will be determined by taking into consideration the current year “Rates of Compensation for Crops/Plants”. In case, BSR and “Rates of Compensation for Crops/Plants” are not updated, the Special Committee shall determine the replacement value of all items affected and the difference will be paid as assistance.

9.6 Other processes to be followed

• Compensation for the common properties e.g. shifting jhum land which are acquired for the project will be provided in accordance with Note 1 (ii) under 9.5. The amount will be utilized for the development of the village land in consultation with the community.

• Preparation of Micro Plan: Project Authority shall ensure that identity cards are prepared and handed over to all the PAPs as soon as the verification of PAPs is over by the RAP & IPDP implementation support agency. Micro plans shall be prepared for all PAPs and common property resources based on the extent of impacts and the Entitlement Framework. The micro plan shall contain information on extent of loss for each category, status of affected and due entitlements as per the eligibility criteria. The micro plan will be prepared by the RAP & IPDP Implementation support Agency and submitted to Project Authority for approval. The Project Authority will approve the micro plan for disbursement of assistance to entitled persons. The assistance will be disbursed by cheque or by direct transfer to PAPs bank account. Assistances below the threshold amount of Rs. 5000/- shall be paid directly to the PAPs in the form of cash in the presence of Village Council President (VCP)/ members. Any grievances reported by the PAPs regarding their eligibility, replacement cost of affected assets and any other entitlements shall be addressed through the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC). The structure and process of the committees is provided under Institutional arrangements (Section 12)

• Compensation and eligible assistances shall be paid before taking possession of the land/properties. The PDPs and PAPs shall hand over the land and other properties acquired to the Govt. free from all

Mizoram State Roads II – Regional Connectivity Project Page 45

encumbrances such as mortgage, debt, etc. However, in case of outstanding government loans on such acquired lands and properties that remain unadjusted as per the information furnished by the PAPs or by the loaner agency, then such amounts shall be deducted out of the compensation.

9.7 Land Acquisition by Negotiated Settlement Method

The process of Land Acquisition (LA) by Negotiated Settlement would offer the following advantages.

i. The time taken would be considerably reduced as compared to the normal time taken under the LA Act;

ii. Being participatory in nature and therefore reduce the likelihood of any objection, grievance and reference to court;

iii. In addition to being financially lucrative it also shall ensure payment of the entire compensation amount in a single instalment to the affected landholders;

iv. Further, it shall facilitate smooth and quick acquisition of land leading to an early commencement of construction works.

The following process would be followed:

a) The Special Committee constituted by the Government Order/ Gazette Notification for determining

the replacement value of land, structures and other properties and assets shall also be empowered to undertake and finalise negotiations with affected land holders for land required for the project.

b) Duration of three months (90 days) shall be provided for concluding the negotiations with the landholders and signing of agreement between parties.

c) The negotiations shall be conducted village-wise, involving groups in order to maintain transparency. d) The negotiations shall begin by offering a minimum of 1.5 times of the registered value or stamp duty

value/circle rate (whichever is higher) in order to make the propositions financially attractive to the land holders. If the registered value/stamp duty or circle rates are more than a year old at time of negotiations, a premium @ 10% per annum will be added to bring the rates to currents levels. In addition, land holders shall be entitled to 30% solatium of the negotiated cost. Land holders shall also be eligible for additional assistance equivalent to revenue paid in order to acquire the status of a Settlement holder/ land holder.

e) A maximum of 3 rounds of negotiations shall be conducted with the land holders. f) After every round of negotiation, minutes of negotiations would be prepared and submitted to the

Head Office – PIU, PWD for information. g) If land acquisition by negotiation is finalized, the agreement shall be signed within 15 days from the

date of final negotiations at land holders place. The agreement will be read out aloud for the benefit of land holders in presence of villagers and VCP.

h) The Executive Engineer/ SDE of the concerned district and SLAO will sign the agreement for PWD. i) All necessary process for sell/purchase or transfer of land from land holders to PWD shall be carried

out by the PWD at project cost. j) Entire negotiated amount including solatium and taxes shall be paid to land holders within 30 days

from the date of signing of agreement between the parties (land holders and PWD). k) Interest @ 9% will be paid by the PWD for any delays in the payment of negotiated amount beyond

three months from the date of signing of agreement between the parties. l) In addition to negotiated amount, the land holders (EP) shall be eligible for Resettlement and

Rehabilitation benefits as mentioned in the entitlement matrix. m) In case of negotiated settlement, agreement shall include a clause prohibiting landholders to take

recourse to court with regard to the negotiated amount.

Chapter 11 – Disclosure, Consultation and Participation Plan

11.1 Information Disclosure

The Right to Information Act, 2005 provides for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The process for obtaining information and details of designated officials shall be posted on the PWD website. PWD had disclosed the Draft SMF document on the Government of Mizoram website www.mizoram.nic.in on January 31st, 2014. In order to get the feedback from the stakeholders on past experience and to obtain suggestion for any suitable in the SMF, Stakeholder Consultations Workshop was organized at the State level. The Draft RAP & IPDP has been disclosed by the PIU, PWD on the Government of Mizoram website: www.mizoram.nic.in on February 4th, 2014. The Executive Summary of the draft RAP & IPDP, along with the list of PAPs with the impacted assets shall be translated in local language - Mizo (Roman script for the Mizo language) and disclosed at concerned Village Council offices, PWD and District Administration offices. For project roads requiring environmental clearance, the draft documents shall also be placed for public viewing and stakeholders’ feedback as prescribed under EP Act 1986. The documents will also be disclosed at the website of PWD, GoM and World Bank at least four months prior to the awards of the contracts/commencement of construction. Feedback received from stakeholders shall be incorporated in the final documents. The Executive Summary of final RAP & IPDP and other project related documents/ relevant information shall be translated in Mizo language and made available at Project Authority’s state and project offices. The final documents in full will replace the draft documents in website of Project Authority’s as well at World Bank’s Infoshop. The list of eligible persons (PAPs) for disbursement of benefits shall be separately disclosed at concerned Village Council Offices/ Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to ensure transparency. A copy of the list of eligible PAPs shall be put up at notice boards of the concerned District Administration Offices, project offices, and any other relevant offices, etc. The Social Management Framework, Executive Summary of RAP & IPDP of each project road shall also be placed in Mizo language of the concerned District Administration Office.

11.2 Consultation & Participation Plan

To ensure peoples’ continued participation in the implementation phase and aiming at promotion of public understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental problems such as local needs of road users and problem and prospects of resettlement, various sections of PAPs and other stakeholders will be engaged in implementation. Key actions would be as follows:

Communicating and informing PAPs and beneficiary households in the project area of resettlement policy provisions and grievance redress mechanism through village level public meetings;

Holding one to one meeting with the PAPs to explain their eligibility;

Placing of micro plan in affected villages for review and minimize grievances;

Mizoram State Roads II – Regional Connectivity Project Page 53

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum-Chawngte Road

Payment of R&R assistance to PAPs during public meetings to maintain transparency; and

Household consultation to identify skill improvement training needs, counseling for usage of assistance amount and other activities towards livelihood restoration.

Information dissemination and participation would be ensured through

a) printed leaflets/ information booklets that are to be prepared by the RAP & IPDP Implementation Support Agency in local language. These would be distributed to PAPs and also other village community members within the immediate project influence area in advance so that people discuss issues among themselves and prepare themselves for meetings/discussions. On the day of public meeting, once again leaflets would be distributed to those present to ensure awareness about the project in case they did not get the leaflet/ information booklet. The booklet would provide:

brief description of the project and its objectives;

a summary of adverse impacts (including land acquisition, process of acquisition and impacts on common property resources, etc);

act under which land has been acquired;

resettlement & rehabilitation provisions of the project and specific benefits available to vulnerable households/groups;

avenues for participation by local communities;

expectations from local communities;

role of RAP & IPDP IA and RRO; and

Grievance redressal mechanisms, Suggestion and Complain Handling mechanism, etc.

b) by organising public meetings at suitable locations with participation by PAPs, local communities, institutions and line departments with prior information on the date and time. Wide publicity for the meeting would be carried out by beating of drums and announcement through loud speakers in the adjoining areas. The Social Development Specialist & RRM with assistance from RAP & IPDP implementation agency would describe all aspects of the project, importance of consultations and also seek their participation and co-operation in the project. In these public meetings various aspects of the project would be explained and also the status of the project (technical, social & environmental) would be conveyed. Opportunity would be provided to people in general and PAPs in particular, to provide suggestions and raise issues that concern them and also with a view to maintain good rapport with local community. SLAO, RRM, SDS and RAP & IPDP Implementation Support Agency shall be present in these meetings. After the public meeting, Minutes of Meeting (MoM)/ resolution would: be prepared and read out to people present in the meeting; signed by the officials and participants present at the meeting; and kept in project file for documentation purpose.

Chapter 12 – Grievance Redressal Mechanism

12.1 Grievance Redressal Committee

The Grievance Redressal Mechanism involves formation of Grievance Redressal Committee. The main objective is to provide a step-by-step process of registering and addressing the grievances. It is expected that this mechanism will ensure redress of disputes through participative process.

First level will involve physical verification and certification upon receipt of any grievance such as inaccurate measurement of impacted asset, loss of access, damage to structures, crops during construction, counting of trees etc. that do not involve immediate monetary implications. The physical verification and certification will be carried out by the RRM, RAP & IPDP Implementation agency, respective VCP in presence of PAPs and appropriate documentation would be done. Response would be provided to the concerned PAP within 7-10 days of receipt of grievance. Financial implications of any changes would be presented to the GRC for consideration and approval

The second level of resolution will be undertaken by the GRC. A district level Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be formed by the Project Authority (Vide issuance of Govt. Order) within one month from the date of mobilisation of RAP & IPDP implementation agency at site. The GRC will comprise Project Director, PWD; Additional Deputy Commissioner of concerned district; RRM, representatives of the concerned Village Council President or his/her authorised representative, PAPs and RAP & IPDP implementation agency and an opinion leader as co-opted member. Grievances of PAPs in writing will be brought to GRC for redressal by the RAP & IPDP implementation agency. The RAP & IPDP implementation agency will provide all necessary help to PAPs in presenting his/her case before the GRC. The GRC will respond to the grievance within 7 days. The GRC will meet once in 15 days but may meet more frequently, depending upon the number of such cases. However, after convening the first GRC meeting, it will not hold any meeting till such time any grievance is brought to the GRC for redressal. Grievances brought to the GRC shall be redressed within a time period of one month (30 days) from the date of receipt of grievance. The decision of the GRC will not be binding to PAPs i.e., decision of the GRC does not debar PAPs taking recourse to court of law. Broad functions of GRC are as under:

• Record the grievances of PAPs, categorize and prioritize them and provide solution to their grievances related to resettlement and rehabilitation assistance.

• The GRC may undertake site visit, ask for relevant information from other government and non-government agencies, etc in order to resolve the grievances of PAPs.

• Fix a time frame within the stipulated time period of 30 days for resolving the grievance. • Inform PAPs through implementation agency about the status of their case and their decision to PAPs.

The Grievance Redressal Mechanism for the project is shown in Figure 12.1.

Fig. 12.1 – Grievance Redressal Mechanism

12.2 Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism

The Right to Information Act, 2005 provides for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerize their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally. Thus under the act, citizens have right to seek information from concerned agencies by following the set procedures. However, it is quite likely that many people may not use the provisions of this Act, except in some cases of major concerns. The proposed project covering seven roads is likely to involve large scale of civil works along with R&R and Environment issues. It is expected that people would like to know project information, provide suggestions and also lodge complaints during the project implementation period. As a good practice, to address public concerns pertaining to various issues, PWD will establish a Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism (SCHM) at PIU and site offices. SCHM will report all project related LA and R&R of the PAPs for redressal through the concerned PIU or GRC as appropriate. Several communication channels viz., toll free phone number, dedicated email, mechanism for on line submission of suggestions/complaints/inquiries, provision of suggestion/complaint box (at site and project road office), post and other suitable means shall be set up for suggestion and complaint handling.

12.3 Management of SCHM

The project implementation is expected to receive a wide range of enquiries, comments, and suggestions from PAPs, common people, road users, interest groups, village councils, government departments, contractors, consultants, NGOs, others. PWD will establish a Suggestion and Complaint Handling Mechanism (SCHM) to address and handle external and internal inquiries, suggestions and comments, and concerns/complaints/ grievances as well as improve accountability and service delivery under MSRP II. The overall responsibility for the operation and management of SCHM will of PIU, PWD, Govt. of Mizoram. It will be handled at PIU level and site office level.Since all pre-construction and civil works will be implemented and managed by the PIU, majority of the enquiries, suggestions and complaints related to a specific road is likely to be received by the PIU. However, some of the enquiries, suggestions and complaints are also expected to be received by the site offices. A toll free number and/or an email account will be set up at the PIU for this purpose. The toll free number and email account would be displayed on the sign boards at the start and end of each project road. The bidding documents will have a requirement for the contractor to put in place signs at the start and end of the project road which will display the toll free number and email account to submit enquiries, suggestions and complaints to the PIU, PWD. Similarly, inquiries, suggestions, or complaints related to specific road can also be submitted at site office in writing. Thus inquiries, suggestions, complaints, etc. submitted at site offices and PIU, a due recording and documentation will be carried out by the concerned offices. The Project Director will assign the suitable officer at PIU and site offices to address and handle inquiries, complaints, grievances, etc. submitted at site offices and PIU. His/her responsibilities will include:

• To respond to as many inquiries/comments as possible • To receive and sort concerns/grievances • To forward them to appropriate authority for resolution • To track/monitor complaint/grievance acknowledgement and resolution • To review and report on complaint/grievance data and trends to the Govt. and the World Bank.

After receiving complaints, the complainants will be informed within three weeks about the status of the complaints and what action will be taken further. Channels The following channels shall be established to receive inquiries/comments and concerns /grievances:

• Toll free phone • Email • On-line form • Regular post/mail • Suggestion box/Walk-ins

It is critical to assign a specific e-mail ID and a phone/fax number, and to set up an easy-to-access suggestion box and walk-in office. The project website will have a permanent sub-window that will contain an on-line form and facilitates grievance/complaint collection.

Chapter 13 – Monitoring and Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation are important activities of any infrastructure development project particularly, those involving involuntary resettlement. It helps in making suitable changes, if required during the course of RAP & IPDP implementation and also to resolve problems faced by the PAPs. Monitoring is periodical checking of planned activities and provides midway inputs, facilitates changes, if necessary and provides feedback to project authority for better management of the project activities. Evaluation on the other hand assesses the resettlement effectiveness, impact and sustainability of R&R activities. In other words, evaluation is an activity aimed at assessing whether the activities have actually achieved their intended goals and purposes. Thus monitoring and evaluation of resettlement and indigenous peoples development plan implementation are critical in order to measure the project performance and fulfillment of project objectives. Indicators and benchmarks for achievement of the objectives proposed under the Resettlement and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan are of three kinds:

i) Proposed indicators, indicating project inputs, expenditures, staff deployment, etc. ii) Output indicators, indicating results in terms of numbers of project affected persons

compensated and resettled, training held, credit disbursed, etc, iii) Impact indicators, related to the longer-term effect of the project on people’s lives. iv) Complaints and Grievances received and resolved

The benchmarks and indicators are limited in number, and combine quantitative and qualitative types of data. The first two types of indicators, related to process and immediate outputs and results, will be monitored to inform project management about progress and results, and to adjust the work programme where necessary, if delays or problems arise. Thus M&E would be carried out for regular assessment of both processes followed and progress of the RAP & IPDP implementation. 13.1 Monitoring

Process monitoring would enable the project authority to assess the whether the due process are being followed or not, whereas performance monitoring would mainly relate to achievement in measurable terms against the set targets. Monitoring report will also provide necessary guidance and inputs for any changes, if required during the course of the implementation. 13.1.1 Internal Monitoring

The internal monitoring will be carried out by the PIU, PWD with assistance from RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency and RRM. 13.1.2 External Monitoring

PIU, PWD will engage an External agency (third party) will carry monitoring twice annually and Evaluations at the mid and end term for each project road by undertaking field visits and all other necessary activities including consultations. The Monitoring reports would: cover detailed information on process and progress of RAP & IPDP implementation. would highlight issues, if any that need attention of the PIU, PWD and suggest corrective measures that may be followed for better implementation of RAP & IPDP.

13.2 Evaluation

The external agency engaged by the Project Authority shall carry out the evaluation at two stages viz., mid-term and after the completion of RAP & IPDP implementation. While the Mid-term Evaluation would focus on progress and suggest necessary course correction measures, the End term evaluation would assess the impacts and outcomes of the RAP & IPDP interventions and thereby achievement of the overall RAP & IPDP objective. The independent evaluation will focus on assessing whether the overall objectives of the project have been met and will use the defined impact indicators as a basis for evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation will assess:

i. the level of success (including the constraints and barriers) in land acquisition programme, resettlement plan, and income restoration of the PAPs after they have been displaced from the project affected area; and,

ii. the types of complaints/ grievances and the success of the handling of grievances and public complaints towards the construction of project’s infrastructures, means of redress for assets and lands and the amount of compensation, resettlement, and other forms of complaints.

The evaluation will be carried out under a set term of reference. The evaluation study would involve both quantitative and qualitative surveys and compare results before and after the implementation of the project. It may be noted that one of the key objectives of the project is improvement or at least restoration of economic status of the PAPs to the pre project level. It will focus on assessing whether the overall objectives of the project are being met and will use the defined impact indicators as a basis for evaluation. The evaluation study would undertake the following but not limited to:

Review monthly progress report submitted by RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency (RAP & IPDP IA);

Undertake consultations with PAPs in order to assess their point of view with regard to overall process;

Intensity and effectiveness of information dissemination with regard to RAP & IPDP implementation covering eligibility of different categories of PAPs, frequency of interactions by RAP & IPDP IA personnel with PAPs, deployment of RAP & IPDP IA staff, quality of rapport maintained by RAP & IPDP IA personnel with PAPs, capability of RAP & IPDP IA personnel, behavior of RAP & IPDP IA staff, availability of RAP & IPDP IA staff, level of satisfaction as regards the work of RAP & IPDP IA, etc;

Collect information about distribution of awareness generation materials, entitlements, distribution of identity cum entitlement card, adequacy of dissemination of information, consultations meetings with regard to policy and eligibility for entitlement, alternatives and relocation related issues, measurement and valuation of affected properties, understanding and use of grievance procedure, disbursement of assistance, and other R&R related issues, compliance of resettlement policy, etc;

Conduct sample survey (25% of PAPs) for making comparative analysis substantiated by qualitative surveys and case studies, etc.

Chapter 14 – Implementation Arrangement and Schedule

14.1 Introduction

Involuntary resettlement is a sensitive matter to deal with and therefore engagement of experienced RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency will be of utmost importance. Experience from projects involving resettlement issues indicates that good rapport with community in general and PAPs in particular help in smooth implementation. The implementation arrangement necessitates engagement of agency having experience in resettlement issues. Upgrading of project road involves land acquisition, dismantling of structures, shifting of CPRs, etc. from the proposed right-of-way. Scheduling of RAP & IPDP implementation is linked with construction works. The resettlement principles states that compensation and R&R assistances shall be paid before taking over the possession of land for clearing of proposed right-of-way. As per the standard conditions of civil contracts, land free from all encumbrances will be made available to the contractor after completion of the Land acquisition process including payment of compensation. Thus one of the pre-requisites for the start of the construction works is handing over site to the contactor. In the Project land acquisition is envisaged along the entire stretch. There are built up locations at Lalnutui, Lungrang, Rangte, Rualalung, where 104 structures and 26 common properties are to be dismantled and removed.. Disbursement of compensation and R&R assistance would have to be completed before issuing of notice for vacating the place. Mandatory notice period of two months would have to be synchronized with the disbursement and shifting. One of the activities in the process is submission of micro plan for approval and release of requisite funds. Based on the site conditions it is proposed that micro plan for all the structures to be affected can be prepared in three phases and submitted for approval so that certain encumbrance free section of the road can be handed for commencement of construction works. The proposed period for RAP & IPDP Implementation is 24 months considering the long rainy season prevalent in the project area and whole state. Approximately 6-7 months is not available for construction works. However RAP & IPDP implementation needs to be scheduled in a manner so that initial activities such as verification, measurement etc. can be completed during the dry period. The other activities such as preparation of micro plan, approval, disbursement and other necessary documentation can be completed during the rainy season. The mobilization of RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency is coordinated with the mobilization of the contractor so that progress of civil works is not affected. Given the extent of impacts on land and structures it is proposed that RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency is mobilized at site at least three months prior to mobilization of Civil Contractor at site. The contractor shall be asked to demarcate the land on the ground as per the design. Based on the demarcation, the Implementation Agency will verify the status of the project affected structures and other properties. Any likely inclusion & exclusion in the list of project affected households shall be initiated at this stage as per the established/defined procedure.

Important aspects are as under:

• Concept of passholders, unauthorized occupants, etc, • SMF with specific emphasis on entitlement matrix, • Stages of land acquisition as per applicable act and disbursement of compensation,

Chapter 15 – Livelihood Restoration and Income Generation Plan

The Socio economic profile of the State, Social screening exercise and socio-economic survey of the PAPs impacted by the project indicates that the main sources of income in the project influence area are agriculture and small business enterprises. The population has limited capacity to benefit from the livelihood opportunities created under the development projects or any government sponsored program. One of the objectives of the RAP & IPDP will be to improve, or at least restore livelihood conditions of the PAPs at pre-project level. In other words, under the project the main focus of restoration and enhancement of livelihood will be to ensure that PAPs are able to “regain their previous living standards”. 15.1 Income Restoration Measures under the Project

The project will develop Income Generation opportunities for PAPs by linking to on-ongoing government schemes and other new activities. RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency shall support the PIU in developing feasible income generation activities for rehabilitation of PAPs. The RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency shall prepare PAP specific livelihood restoration plan. It will be in consultation with the PAPs and concerned line department officials to dovetail with existing programs. The implementation of livelihood restoration plans shall be initiated soon after receipt of compensation and R&R assistance amount for restoration of assets by the PAPs.

The entitlement matrix in the SMF provides for income restoration measures for those whose livelihoods are likely to be affected. Measures as included under the SMF are:

Loss of employment

Wage earners (workers/ employees within commercial units)

a) Economic Rehabilitation Grant (ERG) equivalent to twenty-five (25) days of Minimum Agricultural Wages (MAW) per month for a period of three months.

b) Work opportunities in the project construction work c) Rs. 20,000/- towards vocational/skill improvement as per

choice. Loss of Livelihood (losing commercial unit, losing agricultural land and with balance land below MEH)

Settlement Holder/ Periodic Patta holder/ Village Pass holder

a) Work opportunities in the project construction works. b) Rs. 20,000/- towards vocational/skill improvement as per

choice. The amount will cover daily stipend @MAW (directly payable to EP) for the duration of training and shall also cover costs towards boarding, lodging, transportation, etc.

15.2 Local Trade and Production Enhancement Plan

While the road sections proposed under the project are expected to facilitate trade across borders, these roads also seems to have the potential to boost local level trade and improving linkages of the villages in the interiors with the local and regional markets. As can be seen from Table 15.1, already 69 PAHs in project area have received various amounts under the New Land use Policy (NLUP). These amounts vary from Rs. 7000 up to 1.00 lakhs for various activities such as Carpentry, Fishery, Grape Plantation, Piggery, Petty Trade, Wet Rice Cultivation (WRC), etc. in addition to training.

Total 69 Discussion with communities along the proposed road as well as public consultations suggests a potential negative impact on livelihoods due to shifting of roads (new alignment) from existing road alignment. Hence, in order to have better acceptance of the project, livelihood concerns of the villager may need to be addressed. The project intends to create benefit sharing arrangements with communities along the project roads and build capacity for increasing the production and trade potential of Project Affected Communities specifically and the residents of Mizoram more generally. Based on a rapid assessment of risks and opportunities, and strategy has been developed with the objective to make the community along the road as long term beneficiaries of the project. 15.3 Potential Options for Livelihood Support in the Project Area

Upliftment of rural economy being one of the main agenda of Rural Development Department (GoM), a number of schemes have been carried out in the past or still being implemented e.g. SGSY, NRLM, RERLP etc. However, due to insufficient amount of funds, besides poor accessibility to the project villages, it is lagging behind to achieve its goal. Supplementing these efforts with funds allocated for MSRP-II will enable better outreach and coverage and lead to positive effect on village economy. These activities are proposed to be implemented through Common Interest Group (CIG) in the project area for implementing Livelihood Support Programme. Though for most of the livelihood activities, SHGs might have been the obvious choice to work with, the analysis from CC road section suggests that none of the villages are saturated with SHGs (i.e. at least 70% households having at least one member as part of SHGs). This is further confirmed by the discussion with NERLP and MzSRLM project staffs as well as analysis of information from DRDA. As per the preliminary finding of MzSRLM and NERLP, the status of SHGs in the whole state is quite similar to that of these road sections and they are planning for large scale survey to ascertain the current status of SHGs in the state which may take at least couple of months. The existing information regarding SHGs are available as per the record of SGSY schemes (which was merged under the NRLM about two years ago), however there is no clear information on how many of these SHGs are functional.

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum-Chawngte Road

No. of households being members of SHGs 180 160

Average % of households as member of SHGs 38% 34%

Note: *Discussion from DRDA Lunglei and NERLP suggests that about 50% of these SHGs might be defunct.

Both MzSRLM and NERLP project is trying to first ascertain the status of SHGs and then to revive the defunct SHGs and form new ones to saturate (initially in their focus blocks only). However, this may take a long time and may not go in tandem with MSRP-II timeline. Also, it is unlikely that all the project affected households are members of SHGs. Hence, ‘Common Interest Groups (CIGs)’ with about 8-10 members each would be formed in consultation with Village Council to take up specific activities. These CIGs will elect their own Chairman and Secretary. For each of the CIG a bank account will be jointly opened and operated by the chairman of CIGs and the R&R Manager of PIU. Hence for implementation of livelihood activities CIG will be formed in consultation with Village Council. Based on careful considerations of each of the potential activities, the mandate of the PWD department (executing the road project), the complexity of implementation of the options, and the sustained effort that that may be required to make it viable, following activities have been selected. These include:

i. Construction of market sheds along the new road at a convenient location for each of the villages to sell their green products (i.e. vegetable and fruits) etc.

ii. Promotion of backyard poultry and piggery iii. Nursery for orange plantation iv. Organizing capacity building of the community institutions to take up the proposed activities

1. Construction of Market Sheds

Communities living in villages along the project roads have a lot of produce that they normally sell along the road side either in open, on the ground or in temporary structures, particularly to road users. Inadequate infrastructure such as a market shed poses a serious constraint to these communities in marketing their produce particularly as intermittent rain often spoil the produce and makes the items easily perishable. Construction of small market sheds for each of the villages at a convenient location along the proposed road will be an important supports that will help villagers sell their green produce mainly agricultural and fruit products. This is also one of the most demanded infrastructures that many villages look forward to in Mizoram and has been a common structure visible in many areas and are built under various government programs to provide local outlets for selling vegetable and fruits. While other government departments such as Rural Development Department, Horticulture Department and Agriculture Department construct rural market sheds for such vendors, their coverage is limited in view of the poor access to these project villages. Also with proposed widening and realignment, some existing sheds are likely to be impacted and would need relocation and other sheds would become defunct or dysfunctional as the road traffic would be diverted in light of the proposed design realignments/diversions. Additionally some new ones would be constructed. As the present project shall rehabilitate and upgrade the existing roads to 2 lane standards, improved connectivity and better access present an opportunity to provide this much needed infrastructure. Provision of a permanent market shed will prove highly beneficial to these village communities. This will not only supports the project affected individuals and families but also supports the village at large, and hence can bring better acceptance of the project.

Page 84: Mizoram State Roads II – Regional Transport Connectivity ......8.1 Letter regarding diversion at Lungrang English and Mizo versions 8.2 List of participants in Consultations 15.1

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum-Chawngte Road

Selection of site for Market sheds: These market sheds are proposed for 5 villages (i.e. Rangte, Lalnutui, Lungrang, Rualalung, Chawngte villages) in the Chhumkhum-Chawngte section. Selection of site for market shed will be done by PIU in consultation with Village Council for each of the village. All these sheds would be constructed or shifted within the available Govt. land or dump sites created by excavated material under the project.

Design of the Market Sheds: A typical type design for the market shed will be developed by the PIU. It will be about (33ft length x 11ft width) 360 sq.ft. in size to accommodate about 10 village vendors. In addition, the market shed is proposed to have a toilet and drinking water storage facility.

Scheduling construction of the Market Sheds: Construction of market shed will be done by PIU under the supervision of R&R Manager (who is further assisted by a Junior Engineer). The construction can be started soon after completion of formation cutting.

Key beneficiary: These market sheds are used by any member of the village and preference shall be given to PAPs. At any given point of time, it allows about 10 families to display their products for selling.

Management of the Market sheds: Soon after the completion of construction, PIU will hand over the market sheds to the Village Council of each village and the village council will allot seats to interested vendors. It is proposed that a “User Committee” will be formed under the Chairmanship of Village Council President. The User Committee will elect their Secretary every year. The User Committee in consultation with VCP will decide the user charges for the occupants (a minimum of Rs. 10 per vender per day). The Village Council will open a separate bank account to deposit the collected amount vide user charges. The account would be jointly operated by VCP and the Secretary of the User Committee. This fund will be used for future repair and maintenance of the market shed.

Associated Cost: A draft estimate of the cost is presented in Annexure 15.1 and about Rs. 8 Lakhs per market shed is apportioned (i.e. Rs. 40 lakhs under C-C road section for this activity) 2. Piggery and Backyard Poultry for Livelihood Improvement

Chicken, eggs and pork meat forms the regular diet among local population. Mizoram is net importer of eggs, chicken along with food grains, livestock and other products. It is common among rural Mizoram and in the project area that many households rear desi (local breed) chicken for their own consumption but rarely doing it commercially. Given huge local demand, small marketing effort may work to the benefit of the producer.

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum-Chawngte Road

Key beneficiary: As there is a very high demand for meat products in Mizoram, livelihood activities such as Piggery and poultry would be taken up in select villages in the project affected villages with adequate and good quality assistance to beneficiary families.

No. of villages to be supported: 6 villages (Chhumkhum, Rangte, Lalnutui, Lungrang, Rualalung and Chawngte) in the CC road section.

Implementation mechanism and processes: Selection of beneficiaries will be done in consultation with Village Council to take up the activity. Preference shall be given to PAPs. A bank Account will be jointly opened and operated by the Village Council President and the R&R Manager. On an average about 40-50 beneficiaries per village i.e. one member from each of the beneficiary households will be supported through this.

Initially 60% of provisioned sum would be released to the beneficiaries to purchase piglets, chicks, construction of poultry sheds and pig-sty with the balance in two more instalments over the next 12 months period. The poultry shed and pig-sty will be made by the local materials such as bamboo and wood. Piglets and chicks will be bought from the local market in collective manner in consultation with Village Council. The support will be monitored and supervised jointly by R&R Manager and NGO Consultant.

Though it is a common knowledge among the villagers in the project area for rearing pigs and backyard poultry, a further training beneficiaries on improved upkeep methods will be conducted by calling resource persons from Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary from district offices.

Scheduling of Implementation: The implementation will start with initiation of the road project. The operations may mature over time the road is constructed and then it may provide opportunity to market produce in bigger towns such as Lunglei, Aizawl etc.

Associated Cost: Rs. 10 lakhs per village will be apportioned for this activity i.e. Rs. 60 lakhs under C-C road section for this activity. Rough Estimation of Cost Per Beneficiary

• Piglets/ Chicks – Rs. 7,000.00 per beneficiary • Pig-Sty/ Poultry shed – Rs. 8,000 • Feed and other recurring costs – Rs. 5,000 • Total Cost per individual unit – Rs. 20,000

3. Nursery for Orange Plantation

NLUP implementation in Mizoram is helping transform Mizoram from unproductive jhum (shifting) cultivation to systematic cultivation with improved technologies and have given huge scope for plantation in the state. The present trend in the state suggests increase in plantation as it is one of the most promising cash crops and viable alternative to jhuming. However, insufficient supply of saplings hampers initiative towards better methods of farming. Orange has been one of the most promising fruit productions in Mizoram and there has been a huge demand for orange samplings in the state for plantation. Hence In order to curb this problem, supply of quality saplings need to be increased manifolds so that the farms could get required amount of saplings at right time. Setting up nurseries will supplement the existing Government efforts to produce sufficient amount of saplings and will be truly beneficial for the community themselves.

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum-Chawngte Road

Key beneficiary: The interested residents (only one from each household) of the project village will be identified and a CIG will be formed in each of the select village to take up the activity. However, preference will be given to PAPs.

No. of villages to be supported: 5 villages (Rangte, Lalnutui, Lungrang, Rualalung, Chawngte-L) in the CC road section.

Implementation mechanism and processes: CIGs will be formed in consultation with Village Council based on number of interested beneficiaries to take up the activity. Preference shall be given to PAPs. A bank Account will be jointly opened and operated by the Chairman of CIGs and the R&R Manager. Initially 60% of the fund will be released to the CIG for land development, construction of nursery shed (net based), providing irrigation tanks and channels, purchase of seeds, and provision of manure and other inputs. The balance of the fund will be split into two equal instalments (20% in each instalment) and would be released at the end of first year and second year. The works will be supervised and monitored jointly by NGO consultant and the R&R Manager.

Training and technical support will be provided through resource persons from Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and Divisional Horticulture Office at district level from Lunglei.

Scheduling of Implementation: The implementation will start with initiation of the road project. Growing orange sapling has a 16 month gestation period for initial saplings and requires another year for hardening before plantation. It requires close monitoring with labour inputs in provision of irrigation and cleaning of weeds and grasses during the gestation period.

Associated Cost: Rs. 4 lakhs per village for one CIG will be apportioned for this activity (i.e. Rs. 20 Lakhs under C-C road section under this activity) Rough Estimation of Cost Per Unit

• Construction of net based nursery sheds - for seed growing and for poly bag plans (300 sqmt x 2 sheds) – Rs. 40,000

• Land Development and manure etc – Rs. 50,000 • Irrigation Tank and channels – Rs. 50,000 • Nursery equipments and other accessories – Rs. 10,000 • Quality Seed – Rs. 20,000 • Labour (including irrigation and weeding etc for 16 months) – Rs. 200,000 • Medium and Polly bags – Rs. 30,000 • Total per unit cost – Rs. 400,000 + Training and technical support

Over a 16 month period this will produce about 10,000 saplings 15.4 Institutional Mechanism

As mentioned above, at community level, Common Interest Groups (CIGs) will be formed to take up specific activities in each of the project villages in consultation with Village Council and will open and operate a joint a/c with R&R Manager. Funds will be allocated in the Project for these production and trade promotion activities.

Chapter 16 – Gender Plan

16.1 Introduction

The Mizo society in pre-modern times was strictly based on what is known as an extreme patriarchal society. Being regarded inferior, women practically had no say in both private and public life. Women therefore, had no opportunities to go beyond the scope of the domestic sphere and it was only men who controlled and dominated the entire public sphere. However, as most of these social evil practices had been abolished after the gradual acceptance of modern ideas, the society is by custom a patriarchal Society but women have been enjoying a much better position or no discrimination on grounds of sex as compared to the pre-modern Mizo society. Mizoram has the highest GDI value and is placed in the first rank among the north eastern states. The gender gap in literacy rate in Mizoram is lower (4.32) than that of the national literacy rates of 16.68% in the year 2011. But gender gap in enrolment at higher education was relatively lower in Mizoram (2.6%) when compared to all India average (3.2%). Female work participation rate is one of the indicators of employment status of women. The gender differential in employment taking the difference in male and female work participation rates of rural and urban areas in Mizoram is 15.3% and 20.3% respectively. Sex ratio for Mizoram (975) is significantly higher than that of the national average (940). Women’s political participation as elected women members in Legislative Assembly is negligible as in the past only once a single woman was elected as a Member in 2005. As elsewhere in Mizoram, women can be seen working all along the project roads. In fact a lot of shops are run and managed by women. Men are mainly engaged in more laborious work and jobs like taxi drivers, car/scooter mechanics, working in the fields etc. Women are respected for the most part and maintain equal standing with men. Smoking and chewing tobacco is very common among Mizo women. There is no restriction on dressing, makeup and movement of women anywhere in the state. Divorces are common but so are re-marriages. Though major decisions are mainly taken by the male members of the house but Mizos take genuine pride in gender equality.

The socio economic profile the Lunglei district and project affected households reveal significant gender gap in literacy, sex ratio, work force participation and access to basic facilities. Low awareness level coupled with insignificant role in decision making at household and community level further poses constraints for women and other vulnerable groups to access the opportunities created by the project equitably.

Like in many other infrastructure projects, this project is also likely to have differential impact on women and other vulnerable groups. For example, changes caused by relocation would not have equal implications for members of both sexes and may result in greater inconvenience to women. Due to disturbance in production systems, reduction in assets like land and livestock, women and marginalized and vulnerable groups may have to face additional challenge of running a household on limited income and resources. This may force women as well as children to participate in involuntary work to supplement household income, which may also lead to deteriorate social network of women and men alike hence making them more vulnerable to both social and environmental hazards. It is therefore important to assess status of project affected women, their potential impacts, and accordingly, design an appropriate strategy.

16.2 Potential Project Impacts on Women

Based on the survey of the 373 PAHs, it was recorded that the project shall impact 47.55% (825) female PAPs including 21 Women headed households. During preliminary interactions majority of women revealed that they had decision making powers on issues related to financial matters, health, and property, purchase of assets and children’s education. Involvement of women is foreseen in the project, especially during the construction and operation stages. 16.3 Women Involvement in Project Preparation and Implementation

Participation of women has been envisaged in various stages of the project, specifically in the following areas: • Each field team of the RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency will include at least one women

investigator/facilitator. • Compensation for land and assets lost being same for all the affected or displaced families, special

care would be taken by the RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency for women group while implementing the process of acquisition and compensation.

• It is imperative that the project implementation unit ensures that the women are consulted and invited to participate in group-based activities, to gain access and control over the resource as part of the RAP & IPDP.

• The RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency will make sure that women are actually taking part in issuance of identity cards, opening accounts in the bank, receiving compensation amounts by cheques in their name.

• Assistances would be provided to women as a vulnerable group in creating alternative livelihood for them to ensure their sustainable socio-economic uplift.

• The implementing agencies would provide trainings for upgrading the skill in the alternative livelihoods and assist throughout till the beneficiaries start up with production and business.

• To improve the economic status of women, existing women self-help groups shall be assisted in each of the village affected by the project. These groups can then be linked to special development schemes of the Government.

• During monitoring and evaluation, there would be scope for women’s participation. Monitoring of project inputs concerning benefit to women would involve their participation that will make the process more transparent to them. Women would be encouraged to evaluate the project outputs from their point of view and their useful suggestions would be noted for taking necessary actions.

16.4 Involvement of Women in Construction Activities

A limited number of high-skilled labor forces will be required for the construction activities. The requirement of un-skilled labor forces will be met from the project influence area. Majority of un-skilled labor forces will be from the local area. It is important to mention that seasonal migration from the project influence area to other states take place for employment. Employment in road construction works will be taken by both men and women. Local labor forces are not likely to stay in labor camps as majority of them will be commuting from their home. Whereas women members of the skilled and semi-skilled laborers will be staying in the construction camps and some of them will also be directly/indirectly involved in the construction. The families of these labor forces include their children also. There will be involvement of local women also in the local labor force. Foreseeing the involvement of women both directly and indirectly in the construction activities, certain provisions have been made for the welfare of women and children, in particular during the road construction work.

16.5 Provisions for Women in Construction Camp

Provisions for women in the construction camps include temporary housing, health care facilities, day-crèche facilities, appropriate scheduling of construction works. Details are presented in ensuing paragraphs and also in section 16.7.

• Temporary Housing - Families of laborers /workers shall be provided suitable accommodation during the construction work at labor camp site. The size of the room shall be as per the standard. In case of non-availability of standards, a design for the same will be prepared by the contractor. The design will be duly approved by the construction supervision consultant. Rooms for such families will be constructed as per the approved design.

• Health Centre - Health problems of the workers shall be taken care of by providing basic health-care' facilities through health centers temporarily set up for the construction camp. The health centre shall have at least a visiting doctor, nurses, general duty staff, free medicines and minimum medical facilities to tackle first-aid requirements or minor accidental cases, linkage with nearest higher order hospital to refer patients of major illnesses and critical cases. The health centre should have MCW (Mother and Child Welfare) units for treating mothers and children in the camp. Apart from this, the health centre shall provide with regular vaccinations required for children.

• Day Crèche Facilities - It is expected that among the women workers there will be mothers with infants and small children at the construction site. Provision of a day crèche may solve the problems of such women who can leave behind their children in such crèche and work for the day in the construction activities. The crèche should be provided with at least a trained ICDS (Integrated Child Development Scheme) worker with 'ayahs' to look after the children. The ICDS worker, preferably women, may take care of the children in a better way and can manage to provide nutritional food (as prescribed in ICDS and provided free of cost by the government) to them. In cases of emergency, she, being trained, can tackle the health problems of the children and can organize treatment linking the nearest health centre.

• Scheduling of Construction Works - Owing to the demand of a fast construction work it is expected that a 24 hours- long work schedule would be in operation. Women shall be exempted from night shifts.

The Civil Works Contractor shall be responsible for the above interventions. The budget for various facilities for women in construction camps as stated above have been provision and included in the bid document [refer Clause 111 on Precautions for safeguarding the environment, Technical Specifications in the Bid Document, which comply with (i) Factory Act 1948; (ii) Building and Other Construction Act (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Services) Act, 1996; (iii) Contractor (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970] and respective Environmental Management Plans (EMPs). 16.6 Women role in Implementation and Evaluation of RAP & IPDP

Involvement of women in the implementation and evaluation of RAP & IPDP is envisaged as given below:

Implementation of RAP & IPDP: The services of RAP & IPDP Implementation agency will be procured to implement the RAP & IPDP. It is proposed that the quality to be considered and/or selected for such contracts, the RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency must fulfill the following conditions.

• That the RAP & IPDP Implementation Agency must propose at least one woman as part of the key personnel. The proposed women key person shall be available to work at site for at least 50% of the duration of the contract.

Mizoram State Roads II – Regional Connectivity Project Page 79

Resettlement Action Plan and Indigenous Peoples Development Plan for Chhumkhum-Chawngte Road

• That the women key persons, if selected for the contract, may be replaced during the period of

contract, only with women key persons of equivalent or better qualifications and experience. • That the RAP IA will depute a 'technical/sub-professional' team to work at the site, which will

consist at least 33% of women members. Junior support personnel and administrative staff will not be considered as technical/professional.

It will be ensured that the external agency engaged to carry out monitoring and evaluation have at least one woman member as part of the team. 16.7 Measures for Controlling STD and AIDS

One of the unintended consequences of any road construction project is that it also provides ample opportunities for a closer inter-phase of mobile population with the local community as most transport and infrastructure projects attract migrant and unskilled labor to project sites. These road construction workers, mostly men, are separated from their partners and families for prolonged periods of time, increasing their susceptibility to engage in risk behaviors. This could potentially lead to interactions between the existing groups practicing high risk behaviors and the road sector workforce.

In addition, there are also probability of links between the local communities and the workforce which could potentially include increased risk of HIV among road sector workers and communities along the roadways. Hence, the opportunity is being seized to intervene early and prevent further spread of HIV in the area. Local organizations like, Young Mizo Association, MHIP, Truck Owners Associations etc shall be involved in generating awareness among workers and communities along the roadways.

As of March 2013, there are 7,850 HIV positive cases in Mizoram. Of the total HIV positive cases, males comprise 63%. About 92.5% of the HIV positive cases belong to the age group of 15 to 49. Children less than 14 years of age account for 4% of the total HIV positive cases, while 50 years and above comprise 3.76% of the total HIV positive cases. Among children of less than 14 years of age, females constitute 51.4%. HIV infection among pregnant woman in the state was 0.47 per cent during 2012, according to the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO). Altogether 306 people with full-blown AIDS have died in Mizoram since 1990Solitary adult males usually dominate the labor force of construction camps. They play a significant role in spreading sexually transmitted diseases. In the construction camps as well as in the neighboring areas they are found to indulge in physical relations with different women. This unhealthy sexual behavior gives rise to STDs and AIDS. While it is difficult to stop such activities, it is wise to make provisions for means of controlling the spread of such diseases.

The following approach shall be adopted to prevent spread of HIV in project area. • Sensitization of Gate Keepers to get a buy-in and to mobilize their involvement: A key priority of

the program shall focus on sensitizing stakeholders at each level especially the Clients- PIU, Contractors-management and Supervision Consultants. This should lead to increased level of awareness among the gate keepers and further generate supportive attitudes and create an enabling environment to implement HIV prevention programs among the target population.

• Interventions will be built around existing health service structures: The project interventions will be built around existing health service structures already in place. Support will be sought from the Mizoram State AIDS Control Society (MSACS), Technical Support Units (TSU), District AIDS Prevention and Control Units (DAPCU) and People Living with HIV (PLHIV) network to plan and implement the program effectively. The involvement of the mainstreaming division from MSACS will also bring in the needed technical support and guidance to the project.

• Program to be guided by the ‘Contract Clause: In the contract issued to the contractor “the

contractors according to the contract clause will be responsible to create an enabling environment for their workforce to avail HIV prevention services. The contractor would provide Leadership – from all levels to ensure effective program implementation, allocate time to conduct prevention education sessions for their workforce and build an environment of trust and non-discrimination.

We would like to bring to your kind notice that the following decision taken by the leaders of project affected villages along Chhumkhum to Chawngte road is a fact.

We are very sorry to say that a very few people of New Lungrang village are objecting the construction of Chhumkhum to Chawngte road under World Bank funded project against the wish of the general public. Therefore, today the 22nd Nov/2013, we the leaders of NGOs and Village Councils of Lalnutui, New Lungrang, Lungrang South, Rualalung and Chawngte alongwith our people hold a joint meeting in connection with the proposed construction of road and reaffirmed that we welcome the proposed construction by 100% and agreed with all the designs and alignments. We therefore request you to pursue the matter with vigour to the Bank for early execution of construction works and to take necessary action from your end not to divert the proposal for other road..
