E XECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 P R O J E C T A N D P U B L I C P U R P O S E

The proposed project ―Land Acquisition for Government

Medical College Sayli village is in Silvassa block of Dadra &

Nagar Haveli. Development of proposed Government Medical

College project involves acquisition of land in Sayli village. The

project description is based on the executive report provided by

Medical & Health Services Dadra & Nagar Haveli. The project will

entail a multitude of benefits for the people of Dadra & Nagar

Haveli and people living in surrounding states of Maharashtra and

Gujarat.

The Medical College will benefit the students, especially those of

tribal and rural areas of the two UTs, which will promote social

equity. The proposed project of Government Medical College will

have following benefits.

It will be helpful for both UTs and surrounding states of

Maharashtra and Gujarat.

It is a noble means to bridge the gap between the increasing

number

of students opting for higher education and the number of medical seats

available.

To make available the Super Specialty Medical Services

at reasonable charges to the public who are deprived of

the basic medical services.

Also the establishment of the Medical College would

make the community of qualified and trained doctors

available which to some extent may help to bridge the

gap of available doctors in the area.

The migration of students for medical education to other

states and abroad would be addressed.

The burden of I.P.D. of the Govt. Hospital would be

shared and common mass that are deprived of basic

medical services would be benefited by availability of the

Super Specialty Medical Services at nominal charges.

The policy of the state - This Policy shall be called "Medical

Education Implementation Policy ".The promotion of Medical

Education is all the more important since the doctor population

ratio in the UT’s being far below the national ratio of 1:1700 &


international ratio of 1.5:1000. The Doctor population ratio in

Dadra & Nagar Haveli is 1:3362 & of Daman is 1:5924

Hence it is imperative that new medical colleges should be established by the government so that the physical shortage of the doctors and trained medical man power shall be substantially reduced and also to strengthen the health care delivery system.

Table 1.1: Description of Land For Government Medical College

The UT Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli

intends to acquire the proposed land with total area

of 1.232 acres in consultation with the Sayli

Panchayat and the entire project affected families

in the area of operation. Land acquisition for Govt.

Medical College project is being carried out as per

provisions of The Right to Fair Compensation and

Transparency in Land Acquisition and Resettlement

and Rehabilitation (Compensation, Rehabilitation &

Resettlement, Development Plan) rules 2015

(RFCTLARR Act 2015).

As per section 4 of the RFCTLARR Act 2013, a Social Impact Assessment is required to carry out before

initiating land acquisition notifications under chapter-2 of the act. One of the objectives of Draft Social

Impact Assessment Report for proposed Govt. Medical College the Social Impact Assessment is to

examine whether the proposed project is for the public purpose. As per the assessment, proposed Govt.

Medical College project serves public purpose

1.2 S I A P R O C E S S

Social impact assessment (SIA) is a process for the identification, analysis, and assessment of land to be

acquired for Government Medical College road in Sayli village. It also involves identification and

management of the potential social impacts of a project, both positive and negative.

The process of social impact assessment begins with identification of proposed land and its assessment

as per the RFCTLARR Act 2015.

Steps followed in the process of social impact assessment are given below.

Step-1 Define the Impact Area

Step-2: Identify Information/Data requirements and their sources

Step-3: Involve all affected stakeholders

Step-4: Conduct screening

Step--5: Carry out scoping in the Field

Step-6: Prepare a Socioeconomic profile of Baseline Condition

Step-7: Survey of host Population

Step-8: Identify and assess the Impacts

Step-9: Develop a Mitigation Plan

Economic Survey:

Based on final alignments and

detailed measurement survey of

land and structure, a socio-

economic survey was carried out

during the month of July 2019. The

socio- economic survey has

delineated impacts as minor

impacts and major impacts.

The social assessment of the

project has been carried out as

per requirement of RFCTLARR

Rule, 2015. The details of

methodologies include:


Stakeholder’s Consultation:

Consultations were carried out at individual and panchayat level. Important issues were discussed at village level

include (but not limited to) impact of land acquisition on the livelihood of the people. As per RFCTLARR Rule 2015,

Findings, suggestions and opinion of people have been taken into account while preparing social impact management

plan.

Public Hearing:

As per the RFTLARR act public hearing follows integral part of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA). Public hearing

aims to provide information about the process of land acquisition. The objective of the public hearing meeting is to

provide detailed information of the process of land acquisition and to provide an opportunity to the project affected

community to discuss their problems and issues with regard to land acquisition. Notifications and circulars will be

published by the district administration Dadra & Nagar Haveli to conduct public hearing.

1.3 A L T E R N A T I V E S C O N S I D E R E D

The proposed land acquisition is for the Government Medical College. The extent of land proposed for the

acquisition is the absolute bare minimum extent needed for the project and there is no unutilized land which has

been previously acquired in the area. Hence, there is no alternative land found feasible for the project.

The proposed Govt. Medical College project is cost effective. Govt. Medical College for Sayli village will require more

land as compared the proposed land acquisition

1.4 Social Impact and Mitigation measures

This road widening project has both positive and negative impacts on local community of Sayli

village. The social impact of land acquisition for proposed road widening project is classified as

below

Impact during Pre-construction phase

Impact during construction phase

Impact after construction


Negative Impact Positive Impact

Loss of residential

and agricultural Land

Loss of built-up property Loss of Common

property resources Loss of access to civic services

Loss of livelihood opportunities

Increase in unemployment

Loss of residential structures.

Loss of trees and plants.

Generate knowledge in

medical sciences and allied

fields by fostering and

promoting medical research, with particular emphasis on

the special health problems

relevant to the State

Ensure merit, equity and aptitude in student selection

Maintain a database of qualified teachers and ensure their actual presence in the institutions

Train all medical teachers in teaching and evaluation methodology as well as update their knowledge and skills to make them capable of handling the modern curriculum

Develop and conduct

evaluation that is capable of

measuring theoretical

knowledge as well as

problem solving and clinical

skills.

Ensure that the evaluation system is unbiased, foolproof, transparent and totally honest.


Proposed mitigation Measures

The main aim of the Social Impact Management Plan is to ensure that

the various adverse impacts are mitigated and the positive impacts are

enhanced. The social impact management measures shall be

implemented during the various stages of the project viz. Pre-

construction stage, Construction Stage and Operational Stage.

Compensation for the loss of residential and agricultural land, loss of

built in property will be made as per the RTFCTLARR Act 2013.

During construction phase employment opportunity for local people

should be provided and alternative employment opportunities are to be

provided for PAPs

Plantation will be done during the second phase of the project for

mitigating environmental impact and for beautification purpose. Local

trees should be preferred for plantation instead of decorative trees.

1.5 Assessment of Social Cost & Benefits

This section provides social costs by comparing positive and negative

benefits of the project. However, this cost will resolve by providing and

other civic facilities proposed in this project. This project will improve the

transportation and connectivity for commuters of Dadra & Nagar Haveli

and surrounding states of Gujarat and Maharashtra.

It appears from the analysis and overview of the act that the provisions

made for compensating for land acquisition under RFCTLARR act 2013

will be sufficient to manage the above mentioned social impacts.

As mentioned above, the proposed road widening will have more positive

impacts than negative impacts; this is concluded that the potential

benefits of the project outweigh overall cost ( which include social

wellbeing and less stress on the commuters due to the road widening and

facility) of the project.

public purpose.

Has estimated number of affected families and

number of families among them likely to be displaced.

To understand extent of land acquired is bare

minimum needed for the project.

Has studied the Social impacts, nature and cost of

addressing them and impact of these costs on the

overall cost of the project vis-à-vis the benefit of the

project.

To understand extent of land public and private,

houses, settlement and other common properties

likely to be affected by the proposed acquisition.

To examine potential positive and negative impacts

on the socio-economic condition of people in the

project area,

To develop appropriate measures to minimize the

negative socio-economic impacts,

To prepare Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) based on

the existing policies, laws and guidelines of the

government for the loss caused to the project affected

people

The scope of socio-economic study is to include the impacts due to the proposed Govt. Medical College. Based on

the site survey, it will generate socio-economic data about project affected families and prepare an inventory of

property. Based on the data, the project proponent shall develop measures to safeguard the PAFs from the loss

occurred due to the proposed project with an objective of sustainable development.


2.5 Land acquisition and Resettlement

The proposed project requires both residential and agricultural land from Sayli village and a part of government

plot. There will be loss of residential buildings, and thus will have long term impact on livelihood and residence.

All the PAF's are losing their partial land or structure hence for the proposed project, resettlement is not

envisaged. Mitigation measures are to be taken by the land acquisition department and local government to

reduce the impact of the land acquisition. Compensation should be given as per the RFCTLARR Act 2013

2.6 Objective Resettlement Action Plan

The Resettlement Action Plan is based on the principle that the population affected by the project will be assisted

to improve their former living standards. Further, it also takes into account ways of avoiding or minimizing the

impacts wherever possible by exploring other alternative project designs. Where displacement is unavoidable,

people losing assets, livelihood or other resources, assistance is proposed for improving their former living

standards.

Post Survey activities, Analysis, Report


Survey Questionnaire-

To understand the demographic, socio-economic and to understand the village profile and to collect the data,

opinion survey Questionnaires were structured. Surveys used carefully structured questions, often ranking or

scoring options or using closed-ended questions. A closed-ended question limits respondents to a specified

number of answers. For example, this is the case in multiple-choice questions. In the survey questionnaire socio

economic condition and extent of effect of the PAFs were covered. Through this survey no. of families and total

people affected with the project, extent of public and private land to be acquired, houses and other properties

affected by land acquisition were also looked upon.

Interview Schedule

The open ended interviews of the project affected family members were conducted in the first phase of the field

work and after those interviews of the local administrative officials and interviews of Sayli gram panchayat

member were scheduled as per their convenience. For the interview schedule stratified sampling method was

used to identify the target population and to have unstructured and semi structured interviews with them

The methodology for conducting socio-economic study of the proposed project involves review of topographical survey drawings, field visits, data collection and stakeholder consultations

Methods of Data Collection Structured Survey - Baseline and Census survey in a prescribed

format

Public Consultation

Focused Group Discussions with key informants

Interviews with important secondary stakeholders


Data Analysis:

Data was collected from

Sayli village to get

information about socio-

economic condition of

PAPs and to understand

extent of impact, so that

the loss of PAPs could be

assessed. Both the

thematic and statistical

techniques were used to

analyze the qualitative and

the quantitative data

respectively.

Data received was

analyzed by using data

analysis tools like

advanced excel and

research software SPSS

(Statistical Package for

Social Sciences)

Based on the data

collected cost- benefit

analysis of project is done

and approximate value of

compensation is estimated

by the SIA team.

3.4 Stakeholders Consultation

Consultative procedure has been a critical but important phase in the entire Social Impact

Assessment process. The consultation process will be continued till the preparation of Social

Impact Management Plan (SIMP). While social impact assessment ensured involvement of local

communities through participatory planning, structured consultations and public hearing have to be

conducted at village level to endorse important planning approaches and policies. It is hoped that

linkages developed during this phase will ensure the involvement of stakeholders in the

implementation of the project. Following section highlights type of consultations.


Site Visits and Information Dissemination

The dissemination process and the type of information shared with the stakeholders during

consultation are described below:- While undertaking inventory of this project utilities and

structures, and sample survey of PAFs, information dissemination focused on the proposed

project characteristics, land required 1.232 acres for the construction of Govt. Medical College.

During these consultations, Google maps, maps given by district collectorate were used to

explain about the location of proposed land, distance of their properties with proposed project.

This activity helped people to understand the impact on their assets and properties.

Consultation during Sample Survey Stage:

SIA at this stage included consultations at individual PAP level, groups of local people and

focused group discussions at strategic locations to understand acceptability of the project and

issues related to land acquisition. The overall objective of these consultations was to ensure that

the local people can participate in the project specific studies and they were encouraged to

express their concerns and opinions. Their suggestions/preferences which were shared by the

stakeholders, local people and bodies are included in preparation of SIA report.

constructing Govt. Medical College It is said that Landowners were not

compensated for their loss of private property. It is important to

understand the pattern of land ownership and the existing issues around

land acquisition in the village, in order to comprehend the challenges

associated with acquisition that is proposed for Govt. Medical College of

Sayli village. This chapter will proceed from an overview of the ecology,

land use. It is observed during site visit and public consultation that Teak,

Sandra, Khair, Mahara and Sisam are the major tree species in the

region

As per the survey and consultation with local community it

is observed that the proposed land to be acquired is

situated in the main locality of the village.

It consists of both government and private land.

Only agricultural and semi – pucca house acquired to

the proposed project .

Govt. Medical College work has already been started on

the acquired land and land which was previously with the

government. Only private land require1.232 acres for this

project.

. There are some of the semi-pucca structures which are

going to be affected due to this project.

Table 4.1: Verification and assessment of land

Detailed verification of land was done during the field visit and it was found that this land. There are few trees

and plants.


4.6 Bare Minimum Land Assessment

In accordance with subsection (4) of section 4 of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013,

the SIA Unit is responsible for assessing whether the extent of land proposed

for acquisition is the absolute bare minimum extent needed for the project.

According to the report submitted by the Public Work Department, the bare

minimum area of required for completing the project is 1.232 acres land. This

is exactly equal to the land that is to be acquired for the project, as notified by

the Land acquisition department, Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Therefore, it is

established that the land required for the project is the absolute bare

minimum extent needed for the project, as per sub-section 4(d) of Section 4

of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013.

4.7 Relief and Slope of D&NH

The Union Territory of D&NH is mainly drained by

Damanganga River and its tributaries (382.32

kms). The northern part (69.32 km) is drained by

Kolak River and its tributaries. A small portion

(37.26 km) of the Territory in the west is drained

by the Kalunadi and its tributaries. The soils

occurring on the Deccan plateau are generally

black cotton soils. Within this broad categorisation,

there are significant variations depending upon

topography.

4.8Type of Soil in Dadra and Nagar Haveli

Three major type of soil occurs in the UT i.e.,

lateritic soils, shallow black cotton soils deep

black soils and their description is as follows:

1) Lateritic Soil, these soils are well

stabilised and have good porosity leading to good

permeability and aeration and are non-calcareous

soils and have low pH.

2) Shallow Black Cotton Soil, are medium

textured soils with 8 gravels and pebbles and hard

rock is met early below the soil restricting free

movement of water and air. Though the soils are

permeable enough, but have low moisture holding

capacity and thus call for specific moisture

management for sustainable land use under

cultivation.

3) Deep Black Soil, are very deep soils

having very high fertility and are capable of

supporting a variable number of crops.

chart.


CHAPTER VII

SOCIAL IMPACT

7.1 Project impacts The proposed acquisition of 1.232 acres of land will primarily have impacts on the income and livelihoods of those

who are dependent on it. The social impacts of a project are direct and indirect that affects people and

communities during all stages of the project lifecycle. The major findings and magnitude of impacts of the

proposed land acquisition project are discussed in the following sections. The project impacts have been

classified into different categories such as Impacts on land, Impacts on the affected families and their livelihood

sources, Impacts on structures and Impacts on the common property.

There is wider impact on economy and opportunity cost of the funding towards housing. As the proposed land to

be acquired is a residential land, rate of land surrounding the project site will increase and it will have a negative

impact for poor people who need affordable housing, impoverished families who need affordable hospitals,

schools, employment opportunities and infrastructure. All positive & negative impacts of the project is given in the

table 7.1.

7.2 Impacts Summary

This project will be having a huge impact on the lives of project affected families. Physical assets will be

affected. There are different dimensions of impact assessment and the same are given below as per the

findings of the field visit & consultation with stakeholders.

There is no loss of agricultural land but some of the residential buildings will be impacted due this project

There is know major loss of livelihood activities. Only one of the newly built showroom (commercial complex

will be affected due to this land acquisition. Livelihood affected by land acquisition in this project is only in

terms of minor loss of structure and trees.

7.3 Anticipated impacts

During the construction phase Construction activities are likely to generate a range of impacts that may be

adverse to the living and health conditions of affected communities. These could include: An increase in dust

levels, air pollution due to construction and excavation, preparation of construction 47 materials, and

stockpiling of materials. There will be safety risks to communities proximate to the people living in the

affected areas due to increase of machining activities. It will also provide employment to some people

temporarily.

The parameter that should be considered in the evaluation of wellbeing in a society is the quality of the

habitat which can be called as social amenity. Different aspects of social amenity are physical characteristics

of environment, recreational facilities, aesthetic and social infrastructures etc. The impact of project

construction and operation has potential to affect vulnerable groups. Such groups are affected not only during

the construction phase, but also after the operation because of permanent loss of structures, facilities and

public spaces. It will also create an impact on distance of other communication facilities like railway stations

by providing comfortable and shorter trips.

7.4 Mitigation Measures

All the mitigation measures including social, economic and environmental measures should be taken by the

concerned department to minimize the negative effects of this project. All the utilities and common property

resources being impacted due to the project will be reestablished by the project authority in consultation with

the local community. As per the socio-economic survey and data analysis all the project affected families are

partially affected due to this project.


CHAPTER VIII

COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS

8.1 Introduction One of the objectives of SIA is to study the social impact of the project and environmental impact. It also

aims to estimate cost of addressing them in accordance with the R&R policy of the government. It results in

overall assessment of additional required for Rehabilitation and resettlement if any. This section provides

an overview of budget required vis-à-vis the benefits of the project. It discusses about assessment of public

purpose, social impacts and social costs of this project.

8.2 Assessment of Public Purpose

The proposed land acquisition project is for Govt. Medical College at Sayli village. This project aims to

acquire total area of 1.232 acres in Sayli village. The purpose of the acquisition of land is for

Government Medical College Sayli village College will benefit the students, especially those of tribal

and rural areas of the two UTs, which will promote social equity.

8.3 Benefits from the Project

Though, it is very difficult to quantify actual cost of social impact based on severity of land acquisition,

however, efforts shall be made to minimize negative impacts through intervention of R&R measures.

However, the project will entail a multitude of benefits both UTs and local people. The project will have

following benefits for the people:

8.4 Benefits to Local Economy

In the present context, the project will streamline and facilitate local transport and will promote infrastructure

development. The project may yield tangible and intangible savings due to creation of employment

opportunities during and after the project completion. It will also bring certain socio- economic benefits. This

project will result in the increase in number of students taking admission into higher studies as this project will

facilitate infrastructural development.

8.5 Impacts on Structures and Its magnitude

Impact of the proposed project on the different types of structures and acquisition of the private land may

cause social disruption and economic loss for the project affected families/ people. While implementing the

project, there is a need to take into account these disturbances and losses due to the project, their impact on

socio-economic conditions of the people. Possible alternatives for the proposed land acquisition should be


looked, if any. Plan of action may be prepared for executing mitigation measures in order to reduce intensity

of negative impacts. The overall socio-economic survey reflects that the Project affected families are willing to

give up their land for the project only when they are paid proper compensation as per RFCTLARR Act 2013

or RFCTLARR (Rehabilitation and Resettlement, Development Plan) Rules 2015 of Administration of Dadra

and Nagar Haveli.

8.6 Determination of Compensation

As per section 26 and 27 of LARR 2015 the collector shall adopt following criteria to assess and determine

the market value of land and amount of compensation. Market value specified in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899,

for the registration of sale deeds or agreement to sell where land is situated,

The average sale price of similar type of land situated in the nearest village or nearest vicinity,

Consented amount of compensation as agreed upon under sub-section (2) of section 2 in case of

acquisition

of lands for private companies,

R& R package as per LARR Act, 2015.

8.7 Total Cost estimation of proposed land acquisition Project

This section presents a consolidated overview of budget and the cost estimate. This estimated cost may subject to

change as project continues. However the final compensation amount for the land acquisition and structures will be

determined by the competent authority. As per PAPs, the market rate of the land ranges from Rs15 lakh per kuntha

and they should be compensated minimum four times the market rate of the land.. However, when Land and revenue

department was approached they have shared that the rate of lands are fixed as per the classification of the land /soil.

As per the revenue and Land department the rate of agricultural land is Rs. 2900 per sq mt .

Table 8.1 cost estimation for land

Total area of Agricultural land (Sq.mt) Cost of land per Sq. mt (Rs) Total cost of the land to be acquired (Agri) cost of compensation for agricultural land (Rs)

4,985 2,900 14,456,500 57,826,000

Compensation may be given as per RFCTLARR Act 2015 or as per populated demand of minimum four times of the circle rate. Hence, total estimated cost of the proposed land Rs 57826000 ( Five crore Seventy eight lakh Twenty six thousand).

As per the cost benefit analysis of the proposed Govt. Medical College it is observed that this project will have more positive impacts than negative impacts; this is concluded that the potential benefits of the project outweigh overall cost (money, human resource etc.). The proposed project will bring tremendous change of the entire area and will have a great and

long-lasting results in coming years.


8.8 The Entitlement Matrix

An Entitlement Matrix has been developed with in compliance with RTDCTLARR Act 2013 and other

National laws and Right to Fair Compensation, Transparency in Land Acquisition, Resettlement and

Rehabilitation (Compensation, Rehabilitation & Resettlement, Development plan) Rules 2015. The

entitlement matrix summarizes the type of losses and corresponding nature and scope of entitlement.

PAPs who are squatters and not legal titleholders of land and buildings shall also be eligible for R&R if

enumerated during the census survey. PAP's who settled in affected areas after the completion of

census survey will not be eligible for compensation and other assistance. They however will be given

sufficient advance notice, requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to

project implementation. Their dismantle structures will not be confiscated and they will not pay any fine

or suffer any sanction. The entitlement matrix presents the entitlements of the affected and displaced

people in the following order.

a) Entitlement for titleholders consisting of,

Loss of private land

Loss of private residential structure

b) Loss of employment to workers/employees

c) Assistance to affected and displaced vulnerable people

5 Any Unforeseen Impact Affected community / persons

Any unforeseen impact would be mitigated/enhanced as per the RTFCTLARR Act 2013

Comparing the impact of the social costs of the project vis-a-vis the benefits that will accrue to the society and

residents of Sayli village once the project is completed, As per the SIA team,

1. The project fulfills the criteria set by sub-section (4) of section 4 of RFCTLARR Act, 2013, which requires that the

project serves the public purpose and the bare minimum amount of land is being acquired for it.

2. The costs that will be incurred by the potential PAFs and environment can be mitigated and are not completely

irreplaceable.

3. Therefore, land can be acquired as requested by the Requiring Body so that the project can be completed.

However, the acquisition of land should be subject to the conditions and recommendations laid down below, which in

turn are based on the above cost-benefit analysis.


SOCIAL IMPACT MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 Approaches to Mitigation

This Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) has been prepared to mitigate negative social impacts of this project

according to LARR Act, 2013. The social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring

and institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operational phases of the project to

eliminate adverse social impacts or to reduce them to acceptable levels. The main aim of the SIMP is to ensure that

the various adverse impacts are mitigated and the positive impacts are enhanced. The SIMP shall be implemented

during the various stages of the project viz. pre-construction stage, construction stage and operational stage. A

description of the various management measures suggested during different stages of the project is provided in the

following section.

Table 9.1: Classification of social impacts at different

stages of project cycle

Pre- Construction During Construction After Construction phase Acquisition of commercial and residential land Acquisition of trees Loss of livelihood (Shop & house loss) Loss of Community Properties (No CPR loss) Loss of open plots Psychological pressure during the execution of the proposed land acquisition project.

This will have a positive impact by

creating employment for villagers

Safety measures should be taken to

minimize impacts during the

construction of proposed Medical

college in Sayli.

There will be increase in air pollution and noise pollution during this phase which may impact of the local community. preventive measures can be taken to reduce this impact

Separate Medical College in the entire UT, working with the single minded purpose of improving and maintaining standards can achieve this in a much better way than the current system.

This Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) of the proposed project is prepared to mitigate negative social impacts of

the acquisition of 1.232 acres of land in Sayli village of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The SIMP has followed The Right to

Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Resettlement,

Rehabilitation, Development plan) Rules 2015 (RFCTLARR 2015)

It appears from the analyses and overview of the Act that provisions of compensation for LA under LARR Act, 2013 will

be sufficient to manage social issues. Moreover to provide clarity in the provisions of the Act following broad principles

will be adopted under the project: Continued consultations with representatives of Panchayat will be the main feature of

the R&R planning and implementation of the project Administrator and Commissioner for Resettlement and

Rehabilitation will be appointed as per provisions of LARR, 2015 by the Appropriate Government.

CHAPTER IX

The SIA report shall be disclosed as per Section 7 (5) of the LARR 2015 and R&R benefits will be as per provisions of

second schedule of LARR 2015.

CHAPTER XII

12.1 RECOMMENDATION

All the socio economic data and town profile have been studied by the research team. Based on this assessment it has

recommended following points that may be considered for fair compensation of PAPs and to address their issues and

concerns. Comparing the impact of the social costs of the project vis-a-vis the benefits that will accrue to the society and

residents of Sayli village, the research team is of the view that,

1.It is recommended that the price of the proposed land acquisition should be given four times of the circle rate.80%

affected people are agreed for this project accept Shri Dharma Somji. .

2 .It is found that people are not aware about the process of land acquisition. Hence Government should clarify the details

of land acquisition and procedure to be followed for the resettlement of the affected community.

3.Compensation should be given to all PAPs before acquiring the land as per the 'Right to Fair Compensation

Transparency in Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013'.

4 .If anybody is losing only some part of his/her house then he/she should be compensated accordingly. Compensation

should be given on time without any complicated process.

5.Government should also provide jobs in the same area for at least one member of the project affected family according

to the educational qualifications.

6.There is loss of livelihood and employment due to this land acquisition hence, In the SIA team recommends that the

alternative employment opportunities may be provided to PAPs during the project implementation phase and after the

project completion.

7 .It is observed that people are not clear with the new boundary of their plot as the concerned department has not

demarcated it. Hence it is recommended that a fresh demarcation exercise with the aid of Total Station Method may be

carried out in the presence of villagers and other stakeholders to solve PAPs confusion in this regard.

9 .Any unforeseen impact would be mitigated/enhanced as per the RTFCTLARR Act 2013 and concerned requiring body

should give sufficient advance notice, requesting to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project

implementation
