Rajastian State Power Sector Restructurino Project Resettlement Action Plan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Rajasthan State Power Sector Restructuring Project

1. Government of Rajasthan is preparing the "Rajasthan State Power Sector RestructuringProject" through the Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB) with the assistance ofWorld Bank. The main objective of RSEB is to supply electricity required within thestate and its transmission and distribution in an efficient and economic manner withparticular reference to area which are either not supplied or inadequately supplied withelectricity. The proposed reform policies thrust a new strategy for power developmentthat is based upon the basic aims of sustainable development of power sector andimprovement in the efficiency and quality of services across the state. Under thesereforms, RSEB will be unbundled into generation, transmission and distributioncompanies and simultaneously, the distribution will be privatized under joint venture toimprove efficiency and better cost effectiveness and transparency. This will enable thecorporations to emerge as independent financial strong entities for rendering betterservices to the consumers of power in Rajasthan.

2. The restructuring program will be implemented under Adaptable Program Lending inphases. This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is confined to the physical components tobe covered under the Adaptable Program Lending 1. The RAP describes the principlesand approach followed in avoiding and minimnizing the displacement, and mitigationmeasures for adverse impacts identified under APL-1. The RAP contains the details of:(a) land acquisition for Sub-Stations proposed by RSEB; (b) socio-economic informationof the Project Affected Families (PAFs); (c) Social Policy and Procedures of RajasthanState Power Sector Restructuring Project; and (d) institutional arrangements andimplementation mechanisms.

Physical Components under APL-1

3. The physical components to be covered under APL-1 include 24 new 132 KV Grid Sub-Stations, two 400 KV Grid Sub-Stations, transmission lines, augmentation of transformercapacities, new bay equipment and new Power Line Carrier Communications (PLCC)equipment. Construction of new Sub-Stations requires land and it may lead to adverseimpacts such as:

> loss of houses/structures on the land> decrease in livelihood due to acquisition of private agricultural land> loss of Common Property Resources (CPRs) due to acquisition of revenue land.

Laying down transmission lines, augmentation of transformer capacities, installingnew bay & PLCC equipment may not have any adverse impacts but may cause sometemporary damages such as:

> Temporary disturbance during construction activitiesI T -non nf rrnp nnei rhnnigt in lnd prire

Raiasthan State Power Sector Restruc nng Project Resenlement Action Plan

> Temporary loss of access to Common Property Resources> Temporary change in land use intensity> Restriction on the height of trees to be grown below towers & conductors

4. The Rajasthan State Electricity Board is well aware of the social issues associated withthe transmission projects. The flexibility of route selection of transmission lines enablesthe avoidance of socially and environmentally sensitive areas. The RSEB has taken thefollowing mitigation measures into consideration in an attempt to avoid or minimize theresettlement in APL-1:

> preference for government / RSEB land for the selection of Sub-Stations sites> avoiding the route involving any human rehabilitation> making certain that the route does not result in the economic upheaval of the people> avoidance of route with large tree plantations and cultural/historical monuments> ensuring that the proposed route does not adversely affect public utility services like

communication lines, railway tracks, playgrounds, schools, wild life, bird sanctuary,other establishments etc.

> making alignment changes in transmission routes to avoid habitation and sensitiveareas

> compensation for land acquisition based on prevailing market price of land andsolatium @ 30% and interest rate @12% from the date of notification where theprevailing market price will be determined by revenue officials as per norms of SP&Pof RSEB.

> compensation for trees, structures, damage to crops etc. based on current marketprices assessed by revenue officials as per norms of SP&P of RSEB.

Magnitude of Land Acquisition and Adverse Impacts

5. The assessment of land acquisition for all proposed Sub-Stations reveals that there willnot be any physical displacement. ][t is inferred from the present study undertaken in 5Sub-Stations of 132 KV that the total land required at these 5 Sub-Stations is 22.49hectares, out of which 18.99 hec. is government pasture land and the remaining 3.5hectares is private agricultural land near Tijara. As a result, there are only 13 ProjectAffected Families (PAFs) which consist of 128 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) at thevillage Menaki, Tijara. The impact of erecting transmission towers, laying transmissionlines and installation of equipment is quite minor. Land required for erecting towers isminimal, and cultivation is allowed underneath. The transmission lines do not cause anydamage but the height of trees or structures undemeath is restricted.

6. All PAPs for adverse and minor impacts will be compensated as per the provisionsoutline in the entitlement framework described in the Social Policy & Procedures (SP&P)of Rajasthan State Power Sector Restructuring Project (RSPSRP).

Social Policy and Procedures (SP&P)

7. RSEB has developed SP&P which is consistent with relevant Indian (National) andRajasthan State regulations including the Indian Electricity (Supply) Act 1948. The mainobjective of SP&P is.to provide the overall policy and procedural framework which willgovern the actions that RSEB and its successors will undertake to assess and mitigate the

negative social impacts resulting from its transmissions investment programme. As far aspossible, RSEB will avoid involuntary resettlement. If displacement is unavoidable forexecution of the project, those displaced involuntarily will be resettled with acommitment that the re-settlers will get sufficient investment resources and opportunitiesto share project benefits to ensure that their living standards are maintained, if notimproved, at the pre-project levels. In case of displacement, a Rehabilitation &Resettlement Committee will be formed to ensure the welfare of PAPs.

Implementation of Rehabilitation & Resettlement Programme

8. In any major displacement, a Rehabilitation & Resettlement Committee (R&RC) will beconstituted at the zonal / regional level under the chairmanship of the concemed ChiefEngineer (Transmission & Construction). The other members of the Committee willinclude the concerned Superintendent Engineer (Transmission & Construction),Executive Engineer, Land Acquisition Officer, Additional Dy. Area DevelopmentCommissioner, two to three representatives of Project Affected Persons, the local MLA,and one Social Scientist, who is supposed to be well conversant with social issues. Thiscomnmittee will, in tum, plan and design the Rehabilitation & Resettlement Plan(R&RAP). The committee's functions will involve coordination among involvedagencies, implementation of schedule, redressing grievances, monitoring and evaluatingthe activities and estimation of costs and budgets.

Grievance Redressal Mechanism

9. The SP&P, which is based on the Land Acquisition Act for acquisition of land andpayment of compensation, is inclusive of adequate provisions for the redressal ofgrievance of PAPs to increase their confidence. The R&RC will also help to negotiatewith the affected people as well as settle any dispute regarding their grievances with thehelp of NGOs in a very transparent and efficient manner. This mechanism will reducetime involved in rehabilitation and resettlement of people.

Project Affected Person's Participation

10. Participation of PAPs in R&RAP is essential for rehabilitation which will, not only boosttheir self-confidence, but it will also make their transition from their Pre-Project state toPost-Project state very smooth. Public consultations will be held often with public toensure the positive impact of mitigating measures. Consultation with the representativesof Panchayat Raj Institutions will also take place to evaluate any gains and losses on theaccount of project implementation.

Involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations

11. Some Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) from nearby affected place will becontracted based upon their compatibility with the local public. At first, NGOs will beprovided with training along with the R&RC and PAPs during Exposure Workshops.Based on their exposure, public consultations, and socio-economic survey, the NGOswill promote and provide required assistance and information PAPs.

Costs and Budget

12. The RAP contains a consolidated budget estimate based on the unit costs for variousitems. The budget consists of land, structure, tree and Right Of Way (ROW)compensation, assistance for transmission lines and technical assistance. The totalestimated budget is Rs. 313.269 lacs. The payments for land, structure, tree and ROWcompensation and transmission lines assistance will be met from RSEB which is Rs.281.6811acs. The expenditure for the technical assistance, Rs. 31.588 lacs, will beincurred by the World Bank.

Monitoring and Evaluation of Programme

13. The activities related to R&RAP will be monitored and evaluated periodically to ensureits success. All PAPs will be cbmpensated as per provisions outlined in the SP&P. TheNGOs will report fortnightly to the Member Secretary (Social Scientist) of Rehabilitation& Resettlement Committee (R&RC) who will process the report to the other members ofR&RC and eventually to the Chairman. There will be an external agency involved aswell in monitoring and evaluating the overall success of the RAP.

INTRODUCTION

Background

1.1 Rajasthan has a total area of 3.42 lacs sq km out of which approximately 2/3 is desert andhilly part of Aravali Mountain series, which forms a difficult terrain for any utility to takethe task of electrification and transmission of energy to its consumers. At the time ofindependence of the country, the State of Rajasthan was having very limited electricitygeneration capacity (13.27 MW). It has achieved peak load of 3482 MW and 22246 MUof energy upto 1998 - 1999. The growing demand of 5606 MNW energy is expected to bemet under Ninth Plan through various power projects likely to start in the State ofRajasthan.

1.2 Till date the state has made considerable progress in the fields of the electricity generation/ transrmission. The Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB) has spread the transmissionnetwork over the time. There is 400 KV Sub-Station at Jaipur with the capacity of 750MVA. There are total 202 Nos. Sub-Stations of 220 KV, 132 KV level in the state bulkof the power from central sector projects and partnership projects from north is beingreceived at Bassi (Jaipur) on 400 KV Sub-Station, which is under control of PGC1L and220 KV Sub-Stations at Khetri and Alwar in the north and 220 KV Sub-Stations atBharatpur in the east of Rajasthan. To meet the demand of the State, the power fromthese places is transrmitted throughout the State on all 202 Nos. Sub-Stations with the helpof over 16000 km of EHV lines.

1.3 The Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB) was set up in July, 1957 under Section 5 ofthe Indian Electricity Supply Act, 1948, for power generation, transmission anddistribution. In the past for more than four decades, the RSEB has been planning anddeveloping power generation and transmission program, implementing the same throughvarious Five Year Plans and ensuring that different categories of consumers get power inan equitable manner.

1.4 According to proposed Power Sector Reform Policy Statement - 1999 of the Govemmentof Rajasthan (GoR), the thrust of the new strategy for power development will be basedon the basic objective of sustainable development of power sector and improvement inthe efficiency and quality of services across the State.

1.5 Now the Government of Rajasthan has proposed to implement "Rajasthan State PowerSector Restructuring Project" through the Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB) withthe assistance of World Bank to ensure reliable, high quality and cost effective electricityto its consumers. Its objective is to create a sound and commercially operated powerutilities functioning in a competitive and appropriately regulated market with significantprivate ownership and participation.

1.6 It is expected that unbundling of RSEB into generation, transmission & distributioncompanies and simultaneously phased privatization of distribution under joint venturewill improve efficiency and better cost effectiveness and transparency. This willeventually enable the Corporations to emerge as independent financially strong entities,for rendering better services to the consumers of power in Rajasthan.

1.7 In order to implement the restructuring project, RSEB has undertaken investmentprogram in transmission and distribution systems under the Adaptable Program Lending1 (APL1) from World Bank. The total works proposed under APL1 include constructionof 2 Nos. of 400 KV Sub-Stations and 24 Nos. of 132 KV Sub-Stations.

Physical Components & Need for Restructuring

a) Construction of New Sub-Station: Construction of one 400 KV GSS at Jodhpurand one 400 KV switching station at Mahla / Baguru and 24 of 132 KV Sub-Stations are proposed to be constructed under the Adaptable Program Lending 1Among the various physical components proposed, only the construction of Sub-Stations will require land which may lead to adverse impacts on the affectedpersons. The assessment of the land requirement for all proposed Sub-Stationsreveals that there will not be any physical displacement anywhere. The land forRajakhera, Bhusawar, Tijara, is private land and at all other 21 Sub-Stations it isgovernment pasture land which does not include any physical displacement. (fordetails see Table 1.3 end the end of this chapter).

b) Augmentation of transformer capacities: The transformers are installed to meetthe load growth in the area due to additional towers and transmission lines. Theproposed augmentation of the transformers can be achieved either by replacement ofthe existing ones with higher capacity or by installing another to the existingtransformer. Only the replacement of the transformers requires land which isalready inclusive in the land acquired for the Grid Sub-Stations. Thus, there is noneed of additional land for the augmentation of transformer capacities.

c) New Bay equipment at the Stib-Stations: The terminal arrangement in take off ofa line at the Sub-Station is a bay. The equipment involved in erecting the bay is asfollows:

* Circuit Breaker* Isolators* Current Transformers* Capacitor Voltage Transformers* Insulators- Lightening Arrestors

There will be new bay equipment at each proposed Sub-Station and there is noadditional land required for it other than the land for the Grid Sub-Station.

d) New PLCC equipment: PLCC refers to the Power Line Communications Carrierwhish uses power lines for communication. Basically, this system is used to providecommunication links to the personnel at either end of the line to monitor powerflows on the lines and to carry out tasks related to the operation and maintenance ofthe lines and so on. Under the Adaptable Program Lending 1, the PLCC equipmentwill be installed at the proposed Sub-Stations.

e) Transniission Lines & Transmission Towers: The total length of the transmissionlines of different capacities involves erection of towers in private or governmentlands. Very small amount of land is required for the erection of towers. A tangenttower is a straight standing tower. Angled tower is used in case of bend in thetransmission lines due to buildings or any such structures. The RSEB allowscultivation undemeath it. The estimated distance between the two towers is 330meters. Since this restricts the height of building structures, efforts are made as faras possible to locate the tower near boundaries to avoid any inconvenience. In caseof agricultural area, it is preferred to erect towers on the boundaries during non-cropping season.

II. Distribution Systems: Total length of transmission lines for proposed Sub-Stations is 1115 lan. It is 400 km for 400KV Sub-Stations, 158 km for the 220KV Sub-Stations for interconnecting and 557 km for the 132 KV Sub-Stations.While constructing new Grid Sub-Stations, RSEB is proposing to upgrade theexisting power distribution system which will reduce distribution losses andprevent theft. In tum, this will ensure reliable and safe power supply to theconsumers. All the equipment required for the distribution will be new and thiswill not require any additional land. For details of total works for proposed Sub-Stations under APL-1, see the Table 1.3 below.

Rajasthan State Power Sector Restructurino Project Resettlement Action Plan

Resettlement Action Plan

1.9 This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is confined to the physical components to becovered under the Adaptable Program Lending 1. The RAP describes the principles andapproach followed in avoiding and minimizing the displacement and mitigation measuresfor adverse impacts identified under this program. The RAP contains the details of: (a)land acquisition for Sub-Stations; (b) socio-economic information of the affectedfamilies; (c) social policy and procedures of Rajasthan State Power Sector RestructuringProject; and (d) institutional arrangements and implementation mechanisms.

1.10 There will be no physical displacement on the account of proposed physical activitiesto be undertaken under Adaptable Program Lending 1. The erection of towers may resultin constraints in optimum utilization of the land.

Objectives

1.11 The overall objective of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is to ensure that allaffected persons receive the replacement value for the lost assets as described in theSocial Policy and Procedures (SP&P) and wherever required propose mitigationmeasures to improve or at least retain their living standards at the pre-project levels.More specifically the objectives of this RAP are as follows:

* Identify PAPs by type of loss and extent of damage; and* Categorize Entitled Persons (EPs) according to the eligibility criteria of Social

Policy and Procedures (SP&P) of RSEB and propose mitigation measures.

Methodology

1.12 To prepare Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), the methods followed for collectingdata from 5 GSS selected for the present study include:

* Verification of identified Grid Sub-Station sites for the proposed physicalcomponents and assessment of the likely losses.

* Socio-economic survey of the potential PAPs.* Public Consultations and Focus Group discussions with PAPs including women,

the representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and Municipality* Record verification and discussion with available local revenue officials* Resource Mapping* Dissemination of information to sensitize and involve public

a) Verification including Videography and Photography: Prior to initiation ofphysical verification of locations of the proposed Sub-Stations and transmissionlines, detailed discussions were held with concemed officials (RSEB officers, localPatwaris and Sarpanches) to elicit informnation on government and private landacquisition, site selection process and potential displacement issues. This provided

the details including land ownership, land use, extent of land to be acquired, numberof persons likely to be affected and any outstanding legal disputes. Theinformation collected provided a base for undertaking physical verification where thefield exercises were used as checks to validate the information.

b) Socio-economic Survey: After the verification exercise, the socio-economic surveywas carried out among the idientified potential PAPs. A well-designed and pre-tested "Household interview Schedule" was used in the survey for collection ofprimary data related to demography, occupation, asset ownership, income, andother details of PAPs, and impacts due to the project.

c) Public Consultations and Focus group discussions with PAPs including women, therepresentatives of Panchayti Raj Institutions (PRIs) and Municipality: Thepotential PAPs were recognized only in Tijara since the land to be acquired for theconstruction of 132 KV Sub-Station is private agricultural land. Elsewhere thepasture land acquired is Panchayat / Municipality land under Government; thus nopotential PAPs were identified there. The public consultations and focus groupdiscussions (separate focus groups for women) were held with people in thevillages and hamlets affected by the grazing land to be used for the construction ofthe Sub-Station. In order to verify and cross-check the information provided by thelocal public, the focus group discussion with the representatives of Panchayti RajInstitutions (PRIs) and Municipality, where applicable, were held. This also shedlight on the possible uses of land, potential PAPs and mitigating measures.

d) Record verification and discussion with local revenue official: The recordverification and discussion with the available local revenue officials providedinformation about land ownership, title holders and any existing legal disputes.

e) Resource Mapping: The local people acquainted with the village resources wereencouraged to draw resource maps of their surroundings.

f) Dissemination of Information: To disseminate information and to sensitize andinvolve people, brochures in local language consisting information about theRajasthan State Power Sector Restructuring Project, Social Policy and Proceduresand Entitlement and Assistance were made available to the affected persons.

1.13 Preparation of Resettlement Action Plan: The information collected through allthe above mentioned methods is presented in chapter 4, Social Impact Assessment. Itformed the basis for preparing the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) described in chapter 5.The RAP is prepared keeping in view the mitigation measures to minimize social impactdue to construction of Grid Sub-Stations.

Raiasthan State Power Sector Restructurina Project Resettlement Action Plan

2EFFORTS TO AVOID OR MINIMIZE SOCIAL IMPACT

Introduction

2.1 The works proposed under the Adaptable Program Lending 1 carry very few cumulativeadverse impacts primarily because the thrust of the new strategy for power developmentis based on the basic objective of sustainable development of power sector andimprovement in the efficiency and quality of services across the state according toproposed Power Sector Reform Policy Statement - 1999 of the Government of Rajasthan.This aims at the system changes by rehabilitating the existing systems.

Acts & Statutes

2.2 The existing Statutes are taken into consideration to deal with the social issues whichmay involve the following - relocation of displaced persons, acquisition of land andproperty for the project construction work, acceptance of the Project Affected Persons bythe host communities, loss of crops (if any), and impact on social structures and commonproperties. The provisions laid down in the Electricity (Supply) Act 1910, the ElectricityRules 1956, the Land Acquisition Act and other laws provide adequate safe guards totackle social and environmental issues related to power projects of transmission lines.The present Social Policy & Procedures described by the RSEB are aimed at addressingsocial issues and plan for mitigation measures. RSEB will also adopt the provisions ofthe Policy for Rehabilitation & Resettlement of persons displaced or affected by projectsin Rajasthan being formulated by the Government of Rajasthan. Some Statutes providemandatory national requirements.

2.3 The Electricity (Supply) Act 1948 - It authorizes the RSEB to install towers in any landwithout land acquisition, but allows the continuation of cultivation under it. According tosection 19 of this Act, the RSEB is obliged to cause as little damage, detriment, andinconvenience, as may be, and make full compensation for the same, if the same becomeunavoidable.

Planning, Designing and Execution of Project

2.4 To avoid or minimize social impact, much is taken into consideration while followingprocedures in planning, designing and executing the project.

2.4.1 Preliminary Survey of physical and social conditions of the area to be crossed - Careis taken to avoid forests, cut lands, mountains, rough inaccessible country side, townsand villages, places of worship, socially sensitive areas with respect to humanhabitations etc. Care is also taken to avoid swamps and shallow lands which areprone to flood and also forest areas with high trees.

2.4.2 Police and military firing ranges, games and bird life sanctuary areas are identifiedand safe distance from the proposed transmission routes are maintained. The route ischanged and redesigned to provide safety to the human beings, their property and eco-system.

Rajasthan State Power Sector Restructuring Project Resettlement Action Plan

2.4.3 Right Of Way (ROW) - On finalization of the route, a notification is published in theState Gazette about ROW for the line, mentioning revenue villages through which thetransmission line will pass. Prior approval of the Department of Telecommunicationsand other relevant departments is taken for charging the line. However, according tothe prevalent Statutes, the RSEB issues notification about the route for such Right OfWay depending upon the voltage.

Details of transmission voltages, width of Right Of Way and minimum clearance isgiven in Table 2.1.

2.4.4 RSEB erects the transmission line in such a way that minimum damage is caused tothe natural vegetation including trees and plants. In case of any damage,compensation amount will be assessed by the concerned revenue officials of GoR andpaid to the owners of the land.

2.4.5 All projects of transmission lines are executed during the non-crop season as far aspossible. However, if it becomes imperative to undertake construction activity whena crop stands in the field, and if damage to such crop becomes unavoidable, propercompensation will be paid to farmers as decided by the revenue authorities of thegovernment such as Patwari / Tehsildar.

Selection of GSS Sites

2.5 In the selection of sites, RSEB has made efforts to utilize the existing vacant landsavailable with RSEB or government for the construction of the proposed Sub-Stations.Their efforts have kept the acquisition of private land to the minimum possible. Inaddition, RSEB is attempting to minimize land acquisition for GSS. It has been observedthat the land acquired in the past was larger in size than the minimum requirement. Therequirement of lands is reconsidered to refix fresh norms for acquisition of land/allotmentfor construction of 132 / 220 / 400 KV Grid Sub-Stations etc. As from 05/07/96, therevised requirement of land for GSS including colony is prescribed as follows:

1. 400 KV GSS - 20 hectare2. 220 KV GSS - 6 hectare3. 132 KV GSS - 3.5 hectare

Raiasthan State Power Sector Restructurins Proiect Resettlement Action Plan

2.6 GSS Sites under Study - Only 5 Sub-Stations, Manoharpur, Jobner, Mandrella,Mandawa and Tijara, out of total 24 GSS of 132 KV covered-under APL-lhave beenstudied in the field by the Consultants, HEAR Society. Private land is acquired only inthe case of Tijara after having exhausted other channels of acquiring government land..Private land for the other Sub-Stations, Raja Khera and Bhusawar are still to beprocessed. According to the survey carried out for five Sub-Stations, there is no physicaldisplacement involved. People losing their agricultural land in Tijara will becompensated accordingly.

Status of land for GSS and its type are given in the following Table 2.2. For furtherdetails refer to Table 2.4 at the end of the chapter.

Selection of routes for Transmission Lines

2.7 A careful assessment of the proposed routes is made by the RSEB to avoid the areas ofhuman habitations, reserved forests, wild life sanctuaries, rivers and other sensitivestructures of cultural significance. The following Surveys are carried out while selectingthe best possible route providing least adverse impacts.

a) Preliminary Survey - This survey is done primarily to acquire familiarity with the siteconditions and environment of the proposed route. Based on the observation of thesite, alternative alignments are proposed along with the existing features of generalterritory of the area.

b) Route Survey - The proposed and alternative routes are marked on the latesttopographical maps along with the existing features (structures). Finally, an analysisis carried out, avoiding as many of the existing features to finalize the final alignment.

Raiasthan State Power Sector Restructurins Proiect Resettlement Action Plan

The process of analysis is basecd on the comparative study of the alternative routesbased on the following considerations:

* Shortest possible route length* Least or no forest land* Least or no agricultural land* Approach to the line in general both for construction and operation and

maintenance* Close parallelism with Telecom and Railway block circuits* Avoid proximity of railways, civil/military aerodromes, canals, docks, wharves,

piers, telephonic and telegraphic lines as far as possible* Nature and number of major iiver crossings and power line crossings* Number and type of angle points and their sharpness of deviations

c) Check Survey - This survey is carried out for the estimation of the tower locations.The estimation of the number or towers is based on estimated distance betweentowers which is 330 meters. Socio-economic details of the concerned areas are alsocollected.

d) Detailed Survey - A detailed survey is carried out for identification of the towerlocations after the final selection of the route. The exact location is marked for eachand every tower to be erected. After the detailed survey, RSEB is ready to constructthe Sub-Station and towers, and install the required equipment.

Transmission Towers

2.8 Much care is taken to erect transmission towers on boundaries and steps are taken as faras possible to avoid more than one transmission tower on one land. Land is only requiredfor the construction of the Sub-Station and no land acquisition is involved in the erectionof transmission towers. The preliminary survey and route survey carried out by theRSEB already takes any large trees and structures into consideration and works towardsavoiding them by putting angle in the towers. The structures are avoided at all costswhereas the cutting of trees is avoided as much as possible. Under the Electricity(Supply) Act 1948, RSEB is authorized to install towers in any land without landacquisition, but allows the continuation of cultivation underneath. As far as possible,effort are made to avoid more than one tower in one cultivable plot of land particularly ofsmall and marginal farmers. In case of any damage, compensation is paid to the ownersas determined by the local revenue officials of GoR.

2.9 Under the Adaptable Program Lending 1 (APL1) the transmission lines of total length of1115 km are to be laid, i.e. 400 km of 400 KV, 158 km of 220 KV and 557 km of 132KV. Out of the 5 Sub-Station studied, for 4 Sub-Stations (Manoharpur, Tijara and Jobnerand Mandrella), the check and detail surveys have been completed. RSEB has yet toconduct the last stages of their surveys to know the exact number and position of thetransmission towers in Mandawa. The total length of transmission lines and the numberof towers are mentioned in the Table 2.3. For further details refer to Table 2.4 at the endof the chapter.

Safety Measures

2.10 The Indian Electricity Rules (1956) - Sections 31 and 32 enjoin on the electricitysupplying -authorities that they would protect railways, aerodromes, canals, docks,wharves, piers, telephonic and telegraphic lines and shall take all reasonable precautionsin laying down and placing electric (transmission) lines in the proximity to aerodromes.If the proposed route of the transmission lines is in the close proximity of the aerodromeor railway stations/track, prior approval of a relevant authority is obtained. Rule 91provides that every overhead line, not being suspended from a dead bearer wire erectedover any part of a street or other public place or in factory or mine or on any consumer'spremises, shall be protected with a device approved by the Chief Electrical Inspector forrendering the line electrically harmless in case it breaks.

2.11 Safety for Transmnission Lines & Towers - As per Rule 91, all private installationsincluding factories, mines or premises are protected from damage and the line itself isrendered harmless in case it breaks. Access of public to the Sub-Stations is presentlyrestricted by fencing the Sub-Stations. Likewise, distribution transformers are alsofenced. Further, to avoid any accident hazard to human beings, anti-climbing devices areprovided on the towers. For the safety of birds, bird-arms are also provided on cross-arms. For crossing rivers and streams having larger spans, extra high towers are installedso as to give adequate clearance from the highest flood levels. Tower footings are takenon the banks at safe places. Every structure is to bear danger plate denoted "Danger toLife". In addition, anti climbing devices are provided on every tower. Normal safetyfeatures such as continuous earth wire & other relevant electrical protection schemes willalso be provided to safeguards against accidents. Wherever necessary, adequateprotection like riveting or retaining walls are constructed to protect the tower footings.Also the efforts are made to locate the tower near boundaries to avoid any inconvenience.

3SOCIAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES OF RSEB

Introduction

3.1 Rajasthan State Power Sector Restructuring Project (RSPSRP) includes Social Policyand Procedures (SP&P) explaining entitlements and support principles to address theadverse impacts needed to be mitigated. The RSEB elaborates on social dimensions ofPower Transmission Projects to encounter any adverse impacts resulting fromrestructuring.

3.2 Government of Rajasthan is keen to ensure a fair, efficient and transparent handling of allmatters relating to land acquisition and involuntary resettlement, including loss of assetsand other negative impacts on Project Affected Persons (PAPs) resulting from itsinvestment programme, irrespective of the sources of finances involved in this context.RSEB has accordingly prepared the Social Policy and Procedures (SP&P) and approvedby the GoR. The main objective of the Social Policy & Procedure is to provide theoverall policy and procedural framework which will govern the actions that RSEB and itssuccessors will undertake to assess and mitigate the negative social impacts resultingfrom its transmission investment programme.

Social Dimension of Power Transmission Project

3.3 Every infrastructure development project has four major dimensions that needconsideration before any decision is taken for investing money there on. Thesedimensions are: (a) technical, (b) economic/financial, (c) social, and (d) environmental.Briefly stated, a project will be economically viable, technically feasible, sociallyacceptable and eco-friendly.

3.3.1 On the Social aspect, the RSEB will adopt the following criteria:a) the project will have minimum displacement and socio-economic disturbance to

the local population.b) avoid socially sensitive areas with regard to human habitations and areas of

cultural significance.c) ensure that adversely affected persons/households are enabled to at least maintain

their level of living (if not improve in the post-project implementation period).d) the proposed route of transmission lines will have general acceptance of the local

people through:(i) The proposed route of transmission lines will be notified to local people

and finalized considering their objections and suggestions.(ii) The proposed route of transmission lines will be finalized after

ascertaining the social acceptance of local people.e) socially marginal and economically vulnerable groups of people (such as tribal)

receive special attention.

Rajasthan State Power Sector Restructumng Project Resenlement Acnon Plan

f) guarantee adequate compensation for the land and other.assets acquired for theproject, and

g) ensure Rehabilitation and Resettlements (R&R) entitlements, if any, to theaffected persons (PAPs) on the basis of policy outlined in the document.

Principles of Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R)

3.4 As far as possible, the RSEB shall avoid Involuntary Resettlement. If displacement isunavoidable for execution of the project, those displaced involuntarily, shall be resettledwith a commitment that the re-settlers will get sufficient investment resources andopportunities to share project benefits, in order to ensure that their living standards aremaintained, if not improved, at the pre-Project level.

3.5 Keeping in view the physical displacement, RSEB has laid down some broad Principlesof Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R).

(i) After their relocation and resettlement, all displaced families, as well as allfamilies/persons who are affected adversely by the project, should recover atleast their previous standard of living within a reasonable time.

(ii) As far as possible, the hardship of the displaced persons/families involved inmoving out from their present habitat to a new place and way of living should beavoided.

(iii) The programme of Rehabilitation & Resettlement of displaced families/personsshould not have any adverse affect on the social, economic and environmentalmilieu of the host communities. Attempts will be made to address and redressthe grievances of the host community.

(iv) Special care will be taken of the socially and economically disadvantagedfamilies belonging to schedules castes, scheduled tribes, marginal farmers, smallfarmers and landless labourers.

(v) Compensation for Land will be at its replacement value. For Project AffectedPersons (PAPs) losing more than 50 per cent of their land holding, land againstland option will be given subject to the availability of land with the Government.Where the Government land is not available, willing Project Affected Personswill be assisted to purchase private land using their compensation.

(vi) For the purpose of payment of compensation, the value of the houses, buildingsand other immovable properties acquired from the PAPs shall be determined atthe relevant Basic Schedule of Rates and no deductions shall be made therefrom.This will facilitate replacement of the property acquired from the PAPs.

(vii) In order to maintain the social fabric and structure of the social groups, thedisplaced persons/families will be rehabilitated or resettled in accordance withtheir preferences.

(viii) Adequate physical and social infrastructure and community services shall beprovided to the displaced persons/families at the new sites so as to equally, if notmore than, offset the inconvenience caused in rehabilitation/resettlement.However, efforts will be made to promote self-relocation instead ofrehabilitation centers.

(ix) Rehabilitation centers shall be set up around or in the vicinity of the existinghuman settlements or habitations, if required.

Raasithan State Power Sector Restructunng Proiect Resettlement Action Plan

(x) To ensure that Rehabilitation & Resettlement process is smooth and painless,participatory committees of Project Affected Persons shall be set up, preferablewith the help of Non- Government Organizations, which would, inter alia,provide counseling to them.

(xi) For construction of good quality infrastructure in relocation site, propermonitoring machinery will be set up with representatives of PAPs.

3.6 Indigenous People - In Rajasthan, indigenous people (tribals) are concentrated mostly inthe districts of Banswara, Dungarpur and a few blocks of Udaipur, Chittorgarh and Sirohidistricts. In these districts, if there is any significant adverse impact on IndigenousPeople, an Indigenous People Development Plan shall be prepared for all the transmissionline projects to be undertaken. It will, inter alia, include the strategies for addressing theissues pertaining to the Indigenous People based on informed participation of such peoplethemselves.

Entitlement Framework

4BASE LINE SURVEY & SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Socio-Economic survey and Public Consultations

4.1 For the preparation of RAP, socio-economic survey and public consultations werecarried out at the 5 proposed 132 KV GSS sites selected for the present study. Themethodology adopted for the data collection is mentioned in chapter one and findings ofthe present study are discussed in this chapter.

4.2 The land acquisition assessment was undertaken while keeping in view the principlesoutlined in Social Policy & Procedures. This assessment was used to address any suchadverse impacts that may emerge during the implementation of the project. The issuesrelated to potential displacement, land acquisition and the socio-economic surveyregarding the base line information of the PAPs are discussed below. The data, analyzedin the form of socio-economic matrix, is given in Table 4.8 at the end of the chapter.

4.3 Out of 5 GSS, 4 GSS are proposed to be established in the pasture land. Therefore it isnecessary to provide information pertaining to the meaning of pasture land in the contextof Rajasthan which is almost 2/3 desert. The information related to the present use ofpasture land was gathered during the socio-economic survey and public consultations.

Background of Pasture land

4.4 Before independence, Rajasthan was full of princely states. Even though the land ofRajasthan is mostly barren land, the kings named pieces of their lands 'charaghah'(grazing land) to avoid possession of it. Government of Rajasthan has followed thesame policy. After independence, all the princely states became property ofgovernment. In order to avoid encroaching on the land, GoR classified it as pasture landwhere most of this land is abundant some of it is barren. At the time of acquiring landfor the GSS, Gram Panchayat issues statement that the left over land after constructionof GSS is sufficient.

4.5 Traditionally, the community land has been used for the grazing of animals from thevillage as well as the surrounding hamlets. The land is at its optimum use when grassgrows after the rain-fall. But the frequent failure of monsoon or draught conditionsprevail particularly in the desert area of Rajasthan where Mandawa and Mandrella GSSare located.

4.6 The leaves of trees and shrubs available in the pasture and agriculture land are consumedby sheep, goat, cattle etc. The pasture land is also used as a resting place by theseanimals. The thickness of vegetation, i.e. grass, shrubs and trees, in the pasture landvaries immensely due to the diversified climatic conditions of Rajasthan. The cattlebreeders and nomads of Rebari' caste with the flocks of sheep and goat migrateseasonally from westem Rajasthan to adjoining States for the fodder and drinking waterfor animals. Their flocks of sheep and goat graze upon the agricultural and pasture landenroute during the migration period of summer months. Various problems are faced bythese cattle breeders with regards to their traditional occupation and nomadic culture.

4.7 Over the decades, the practice of grazing has undergone a change. Fodder cultivated inthe agriculture land is consumed by the animals and stall feeding is preferred as grass israrely available in the pasture land. With the advent of education, children are notavailable to take animals for grazing. And cattle rearing has become costly, non-productive and labour consuming task. It is discouraged by the people amidst the forcesof modemization and social change. In such a situation, it is difficult to estimate thecarrying capacity of animals per hectare pasture land. Also data related to carryingcapacity of pasture land to animals is not available as screened by the Consultantsthrough available studies and reports at State level.

4.11.1 The 132 KV Grid Sub-Station proposed to be established at Jhunjhunu -Mandrellaroad is 23 kan from Jhunjhunu and 3 km from the large size village Mandrella withabout 13,000 population. The transmission lines will be laid for the total distance of23 km from Jhunjhunu to Mandrella. An estimate of 71 transmission towers wassuggested by the engineers and surveryors since the check and detailed survey havenot been carried out yet.

4.11.2 Of the total 7.2 hectares of pasture land with rain water pond, 5 hectares was allottedto RSEB on 25/11/97 by the District Collector. There is a dried well and graveyard inthis land which lie outside the land acquired by RSEB. After the allottment of GSSland to RSEB, a school (16x8 m2) was constructed by the local people in one comerof this land under Rajiv Gandhi Swam Jayanti' scheme in 1999 without anyconsultation with RSEB officials. About 25 students are already enrolled in first andsecond standard, and third standard is to start in 2001. The total land taken for the useof the school is only 0.0128 hectares which does not have any significant affect on theland marked for the construction of GSS. As safety measures, a boundary wall(approx. 150xl lx1 ft3) with fencing should be constructed along GSS site.

Pasture kind Use

4.11.3 Half of the land for GSS is unleveled and it contains a traditional rain-water reservoiror pond known as 'Johad'. It occupies an area of 90x25 m2 with 3 m deep Monsoonwater collected in this kutcha 'Johad' is consumed by the animals. In the past humanpopulation also used to drink water from the same source in desert conditions witherratic or frequent failure of monsoon. The duration of use of water depends on thequantity of rainfall. Drinking water in 'Johad' is often not available due to less or norainfall. However, the rain water pond affected here can be compensated byconstructing another kutcha Johad (approx. 90x5Oxl m 3 ) in the ramaining pastureland. Johad used to be a place of recreation for children and women in the past. Thecost of the 'lohad' land is estimated to be Rs. I lacs/hec. Amidst the forces ofmodemization and social change such resources appear to be a vestige.

4.11.4 In the pasture land, grass, leaves of trees and shrubs have been used for grazing by thecattle, sheep, goat and camel. The fruits of 'Kair' and 'Khejari' (also locally known asJatti) are consumed by animals as well as people. As many as 350 shrubs of Kair' and90 trees of 'Khejari' are used for grazing by the goat, sheep and camel fromsurroundings. The dry or fallen branches of trees are taken away by people for fuel.Cattle from Mandrella village do not come for grazing at this site. Even the cattlefrom the hamlet 'Khuba-Ki-Dhani' (nearby) are not dependent on this pasture landalone. About 2.2 hectares land left after the construction of GSS is sufficient for 54cattle / animals of the hamlet, Khuba Ki Dhani that is directly affected by GSS.

4.11.5 Agriculture land owned individually by each farmer in Dhani is another major source:of fodder for the cattle. About 10 hectares of pasture land at Mandrella is also used bythe animals of that and surrounding villages. In addition, open abundant land is alsoaccessible to animals. Thus, the need of cattle fodder will be met even after theconstruction of GSS.

4.11.6 The cattle dung remains a source of traditional fertilizer. The soil from 'Johad' wasused for plastering mud walls earlier but now it is used for manufacturing bricks andmixing with cement, although at a small scale.

Socio-Econotmic Conditions

4.11.7 The population of the hamlet, Khuba Ki Dhani', is affected by the GSS proposed tohe established hlre. The hamlet) is located across the road from GSS site. All tile

4.12.2 About 50% of the land for GSS requires leveling. After the construction of GSS site,the remaining pasture land is 4.9 hectares. In addition, there is approximately 25hectares of open pasture land and some small patches of land are available in townwhich are accessible for animal grazing. Hence, the land acquired for GSS will notaffect the grazing of animals.

4.12.3 There are significant structures like pucca rain water pond (Johad) and a kutcha Johadbut these fall outside of the land acquired for GSS. The pucca Johad, outside the GSSland, was traditionally used by people and animals for drinking water but now it is drybecause of no or rare monsoons. The kucha Johad is mainly used by stray animals fordrinking water provided water is available. The domesticated animals are watered atlkhel' (water stored in cemented structures approx. 8x3x3 ft3). The constructon ofGSS does not hamper the access to Johads and pasture land. However, the drainagedesign should ensure the smooth flow of rain water from the catchement area toJohads.

4.12.4 Camel, goats and sheep graze on tree leaves of Khejri and Kair. But the domesticatedanimals are often fed in the cattleshed these days because children do not have freetime from school to take animals for grazing. Seeds of Kair are used for pickling also.On the GSS land, there are approximately 45 Khejri trees and 15 Kair trees which arenot being used since the area is fenced by RSEB with an iron gate under lock and keywith the RSEB officials.

5RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN

Introduction

5.1 This Resettlement Action plan (RAP) is based upon the provisions outlined in the SP&P.The overall objective of RAP is to ensure that the affected people receive deservedentitlements and any additional assistance to improve their living standards. Theperceived affects are described below.

5.2 Out of all the proposed physical components, only the construction of new Sub-Stationsrequires land that may affect the land owners. Among the proposed 5 sample Sub-Stations, only the land for Tijara Sub-Station is private agricultural land, i.e. 3.5 hectares,which will affect the families directly. All the other lands are govemment pasture landwhich may have either no or negligible affects in the long run on the community.

5.3 There are no adverse affects due to the construction of towers or due to laying oftransmission lines. Buildings and structures are to be avoided in constructing towers, butthe cultivation is allowed undemeath it. Although no compensation is paid for the landused to build towers on but safety measures are followed for the process. Croppingseason is to be avoided for construction, but in case there is any damage to the crop, itwill be compensated. The compensation amount will depend on the type and intensity ofcrop and its prevailing market price as assessed by the local revenue officials as pernormns in SP&P of RSEB.

Institutional Arrangements and Implementation Mechanism of RAP5.4 The RSEB has a comprehensive policy on Rehabilitation & Resettlement based on legal

provisions. The features of rehabilitation & resettlement policy and legal provisionsoutlined by the RSEB are as follows:

* Institutional Support* Implementation of Rehabilitation & Resettlement programmes* Grievance redressal mechanism* Project Affected Person's Participation* Involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations* Monitoring and Evaluation of Programme* Implementation Schedule* Time Schedule* Costs & Budget

Institutional Support

5.5 In order to ensure quality, the RSEB will provide for the requisite procedures and workculture to encourage total involvement and commitment of its staff at all levels. It willalso give further strength to its organizational systems to facilitate smooth

implementation of the Social Policy & Procedure. Attempts will be made consciously toadopt a strategic environment withirn its organizational structure. These consist of:

. A synchronized system of fiunctioning coordinated directly by the top levelmanagement i.e., the Board of Directors and its Chainnan while planning andmonitoring all activities.

* An emphasis on an intra-corporation or intra-departmental approach to all projectactivities, delineation of responsibilities, delegationldecentralization of authority,coupled with evolution of accountability at different levels which would, in tum,result in a fast response and adjustment to change.

* A commitment to provide the best possible and time bound quality service in all theareas of its operations.

5.6 So far, the RSEB has supported the Social Policy & Procedure along these broadprinciples. Now onwards, for effective implementation, the Board will have a thrust onthe following:

a) Strengthen the implementation of the Social Policy & Procedure by deployment ofqualified and properly trained personnel at key levels.

b) Build/reinforce in-house capabilities by collaborating with specialized externalagencies.

c) Internal review of the progress of Social Policy & Procedure and/or getting itreviewed through external agencies.

5.7 Departmental Responsibilities of the RSEB : The following responsibilities shall beshouldered by the staff and officials of the RSEB.(i) Social screening and scoping for transmission lines and Sub-Station sites(ii) Obtaining social approvals(iii) Social Assessment and Preparation of Action Plan(iv) Execution of R & R Action Plan (R&RAP)(v) Monitoring of the Rehabilitation & Resettlement Action Plan

Implementation of Rehabilitation & Resettlement Programmes

5.8 In any major displacement, a Rehabilitation & Resettlement Committee will beconstituted at the zonal / regional level under the chairmanship of the Chief Engineer(Transmission & Construction). The other members of the Committee will include theconcemed Superintendent Engineer (Transmission & Construction), concemed ExecutiveEngineer, Land Acquisition Officer, Additional Dy. Area Development Commissioner,two to three representatives of Project Affected Persons, the local MLA, and one SocialScientist, who is supposed to be well conversant with social issues. The Social Scientistwill be designated as the Member Secretary of the Rehabilitation & ResettlementCommittee (refer to Annexure IV for Organisational Structure).

5.9 According to the data available with RSEB, there is no major displacement in allproposed 24 Sub-Stations. Land acquired for all proposed 132 KV SS is governmentpasture land except for 3 SS which is private land. Tijara is one of the private landsstudied by HEAR Consultants. There are 128 PAPs in Tijara who are losing only less

than 50% of their total land holdings, and their dwellings are outside the land of GSS and notaffected. Thus, no major displacement will occur except land acquisition. However, thePAFs, even though small in number, require some rehabilitation & resettlement measures.Hence, the consultants propose that the Rehabilitation & Resettlement Committee beconstituted as per norns of SP&P mentioned above.

5.10 The Rehabilitation & Resettlement committee will plan and design the Rehabilitation& Resettlement Action Plan, and seek approval for the same from the management of theRSEB. The Committee's functions will include:

a) Coordinate among various agencies involved in the implementation of theRehabilitation & Resettlement Programme.

b) Monitor and review the implementation of the Rehabilitation & Resettlement ActionPlan at the district level.

c) Function as a grievance redressal agency.d) Take field level decisions on the Rehabilitation & Resettlement issues from time to

time.e) Provide overall guidance and leadership for smooth resettlement and rehabilitation

of the Project Affected Persons.f) Provide the local information as required by the Project authorities.g) Liase between the Project Affected Persons and the host community to create an

atmosphere of mutual trust and cohesion.h) Recovery of dues from Project Affected Persons, if any.

Grievance Redressal Mechanism

5.11 As far as redressal of grievance of Project Affected Persons are concerned, adequateprovisions have been laid down in the Land Acquisition Act for acquisition of land andpayment of compensation. Opportunity will be given to each Project Affected Persons toplace on record his/her objections or grievances against the proposed acquisition of landand properties, or against the route of transmission line.

5.12 Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act permits a Project affected persons to ask forhis case to be referred for the determination of the Court, while section 54 of the sameAct allows an affected person to approach the Rajasthan High Court/Supreme Courtagainst the award issued by the District Collector or against the judgement issued by alower Court. Further, Section 31(2) of the Land Acquisition Act provides that theaffected person may, if he/she so desires, receive the compensation under protest. In thatsituation, pending the final disposal of the petition of the affected person, the amountshall remain deposited with the concerned Court.

5.13 For any grievances regarding Rehabilitation & Resettlement, the PAPs will approachthe R&RC. All disputes and grievances will be dealt with by the Rehabilitation &Resettlement Committee.

Project Affected Person's Participation

5.14 Public consultations will proceed at every stage from identification of ProjectAffected Persons to payment of compensation. Consultation with people, especially the

representatives of Panchayat Rat Institutions and the people who are likely to gain or lose onaccount of Project implementation is an integral part of the Project activities. The RSEB willoperate in close association of the State administration during the course of project planningand implementation. Assistance of the State machinery from district level to down below atdifferent stages of the project cycle will be sought at every stage. Such consultation will becoordinated closely with consultations related to environmental impact.

5.15 Project implementation will be planned, monitored and corrective measures, ifrequired, shall be incorporated in the Plan. Besides the local government officials, theProject Affected Persons, the host population and the village level leaders will also beconsulted and associated during the implementation of the plan. Participation of theProject Affected Persons will also be ensured at various stages of the project planning andimplementation. Wherever possible, involvement of Non Governmental Organizationswill also be ensured.

Involvement of Non Governmental Organizations

5.16 A participatory approach will be taken to address all the issues related to ProjectAffected Persons. This would, in tum, warrant that Non Governmental Organization,preferably those with local presence and acceptable to the community will have an activerole in counseling and motivating the Project Affected Persons. This will help to improvethe acceptance of R & R measures and plans. The Non Govenmental Organizations willalso ensure that in accepting these conditions, the Project Affected Persons do not faceany discrimination, injustice and loss of welfare. Before engaging Non governmentalOrganization, an assessment would be carried out about their skills, to take up suchassignment. In case of non-availability of NGOs from the GSS locality, NGOs fromother localities of Rajasthan or from outside may be considered (NGO details given inAnnexure-M).

Monitoring and Evaluation

5.17 The Rehabilitation & Resettlement scheme will be monitored and evaluatedperiodically (Monitoring Indicators given in Annexure-II). The Social Scientist postedwith the Rehabilitation & Resettlement Committee will assume the responsibility ofmonitoring the implementation of Rehabilitation & Resettlement programmes. As thereis no large displacement, the process of verification of PAPs and utilization of theirfinancial assistance will be assigned to a Non-Governmental Organization.

Implementation Schedule

5.18 The implementation of Resettlement Action Plan will take place through thefollowing steps:

* Constitution of Rehabilitation & Resettlement Conmmittee (R&RC) at zonal level* Planning & Designing of Rehabilitation & Resettlement Action Plan (R&RAP)* Approval of R&RAP by the management of RSEB* Contracting NGOs by project authorities* Exposure workshops for R&RC, NGOs and PAPs* Final verification of Census data related to PAPs by NGOs* Issue of identity cards to EPs as per norm by SP&P of RSEB (see Annexure-I).
