SHORT RESETTLEMENT PLAN
A. Scope of Land acquisition and resettlement 1. The Investment Program will optimize social and economic development in 15 selected towns1 in Rajasthan through investments in urban infrastructure (water supply, sewerage and sanitation, solid waste management, urban drainage, and urban transport and roads), social infrastructure, and infrastructure support to cultural heritage. The Program will also provide policy reforms to strengthen urban governance, management, and support for urban infrastructure and services.2 This short resettlement plan (RP) is prepared for the waste water sub-project in Dholpur. 2. The infrastructure will extend throughout many parts of the town, where pipes for new secondary and tertiary sewer networks will be buried within or alongside roadways. It has been proposed to construct 10 MLD sewage treatment plant-1 with up flow anaerobic sludge blanket process, laying of 3.2 Km outfall sewer line, trunk and laterals sewer of 75.7 km total length and construction of 10,000 house service connection, construction of sewage pumping station, laying of outfall sewer line of 1000mm dia, trunk and laterals sewers of 93km total length and construction of 10,000 house service connection. Appendix 1 shows each sub-project component and expected resettlement impacts. The balance works of sewer lines along with house service connections and sewage pumping station-2 is taken under Phase II The location of sub-project components is provided in Map 1, 2 and 3. 3. This Resettlement Plan is in continuation of the SRP earlier prepared for the detailed sewerage system design for whole city. The entire city was divided in three parts under the system defined as a) Western Zone, b) Eastern Zone Part ‘A’ (package: RUSDIP/DLP/TR-02/WW/04 and 05) and Eastern Zone Part ‘B’(package: RUSDIP/DLP/TR-02/WW/08). The design was made for the full city but the sanction done under Phase I included a) Western Zone and b) Eastern Zone Part ‘A’. These zones did not involve any pumping but the Eastern Zone Part ‘B’ required pumping and was left for Phase II. 4. This Resettlement Plan has been prepared in tune with the ADB Handbook on Resettlement and the agreed Resettlement Framework (RF). The Methodology prescribed by ADB was scrupulously adhered to, to find out any adverse or Involuntary Resettlement impact in the project area. Since the same areas as defined with the design population and flows for the Eastern Part B – Dholpur City as adopted in the original design are adopted, the coverage of present package (RUSDIP/DLP/TR-02/WW/08) are area near Ghanta ghar (ward no 10); Gurudwara and Sitaram Colony (ward no 11); Hanuman Tiraha, halwai Khan, Kharanja Road and jail gali (ward no 16); Radha Bihari Mandir, Tallyya, Durga colony (ward no 17); Nagar Palika, Hardev Nagar (ward no 18); Civil Hospital Area (ward no 19); Glass Factory Road Area, Purani Sarai area(ward no 27); Naya pura basti, Harijan Basti, Narani Mata Tirah(ward no 29); Modi tiraha and Punjab National Bank nearby area(ward no 30); Niahal ganj and Lal Bazar area and Jagan Chowraha(ward no 31); Nihaleshwar Mandir , Purani Sabji Mandi and Topwala park area and Bajaria Road(ward no 32); Garadpura Road (ward no 33); Panchamukhi hanuman Tiraha, Grandil Mohalla(ward no 34); Purana Bijali Ghar, Bhamtipura, Post office area, Gir-raj Colony(ward no 35); Kela Colony & Bhamtipura Road(ward no 36); Bag Babasa Civil Line area(ward no 38) 5. The works of the sub-project will not have any resettlement impacts given that the STP will be constructed on vacant government land at Tagawali village (2.64 ha) and sewer
1 Particularly district headquarters and towns with significant tourism potential. 2 The assistance will be based on the State-level framework for urban reforms, and institutional and governance reforms recommended by the Government of India through the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns.

mains will not have resettlement impacts since all 96 Km of pipe lines will pass through the main road which is open road with sufficient government land (RoW). Temporary disturbance in normal life due to trenching for laying of the Sewer lines however cannot be avoided. Only one temporarily affected person comes under the stretch in the Western Zone and Eastern Zone (part-A). The scope of land acquisition and identified temporary resettlement impact is presented in the Table 1. Whereas, Eastern Zone Part (B) have no affected person and public consultations were conducted throughout the stretch where likely inconvenience is expected (Appendix 6). The width of the commercial/ Market street where trenching will be undertaken for laying of sewer line are approx 5.5 meter to 12 meter in which 200 mm dia to 300 mm dia sewer line will be laid down . Less than 1 meter wide trench having depth of minimum 1 meter to 4.5 meter will be made to lay the sewer line. A significant portion of proposed area area where sewer line is to be laid has small commercial activities. During site verification and survey it is found that there might be short term temporary inconvenience but no major impact on commercial activities can be perceived. Therefore, no affected person was found, the accessibility of the shops will not be hampered since sewer line will be laid in the middle of road and on both sides minimum 2 -4 meter wide passages will be still available during construction time . Possibility of minor traffic diversion exists for which there are alternative streets available where traffic can be diverted easily in almost all of the project area.
6. The work of Phase-I (RUSDIP/TR-02/DLP/WW/04&05) is under execution in which 25 Km sewer line laid & civil work of STP is in progress. Phase II (RUSDIP/TR-02/DLP/WW/08) works include supply, Laying, Jointing & commissioning of branch sewers, lateral sewer etc. covering ward nos. 10, 11, 16-19, 27, 29-36 and 38. The work is under implementation. In Phase III (RUSDIP/TR-02/DLP/WW/10) it is proposed to provide sewerage network, sewage treatment facilities for left out areas of Dholpur town. This area includes ward no 7,8,9,20,21,22,23,24,25 and a part area of ward No 10 & 26 to provide a comprehensive sewerage related facilities for whole of the town. Earlier this area was left out as it was not feasible to drain it with the major northern part of city as a ridge line passing through near the Govt. Hospital separating the Slope of the city in North & Southern direction. The areas proposed to be benefitted by these proposal are
S.No. Ward No % Area proposed to be covered
1 Ward No 7 100%
2 Ward No 8 100%
3 Ward No 9 100%
4 Ward No 10 55%
5 Ward No 20 100%
6 Ward No 21 100%
7 Ward No 22 100%
8 Ward No 23 100%
9 Ward No 24 100%
10 Ward No 25 100%
11 Ward No 26 55%
7. The proposed project area flow is to be to discharged at single location at Shekhupura, south of Radha Vihar Colony, in south east direction of city and the treated
3
effluent will be discharged in a local drain nearby from where it will discharge in river Chambal. It is proposed to develop Sewage Treatment Plant in modular way with present capacity to be developed is 3.00 MLD.
8. There will be no permanent temporary impact in package RUSDIP/DLP/TR-02/WW/10, but there will be minor inconvenience as the area covered under this package are mostly narrow road of 2.5- 3.5m width. Though most of them are residential areas, few small shops were also found as adjoining parts of their respective residences. As there will be minor temporary inconvenience with regard to mobility community at large were consulted and were informed about the benefits of the project through various public consultations. Special emphasis was made to hold such ward meetings with not only ward members but with other stake holders as well. It has been also decided that all who were residing or having residential cum commercial structures along the project road stretches which are covered under sewerage network would be enlisted and informed about the project and likely inconveniences that might occur during implementation. Consequently, all the ward members of respective wards took the initiative in bringing awareness among the people and in each ward a written consent (Resolution or Sankalp) was taken from the Ward member or Parshad along with other participants. All the ward members of respective wards were disclosed of the proposed RUIDSP works who then took the initiative in bringing awareness among the people and as a concurrence their consent was also takenin the form of “sankalps” . They have stated no objection with the sewer work to be taken up by RIUDP in Dholpur. A written consent was also taken from all the ward members/councilors i.e., the Parshad along with some of the important decision makers (stakeholders) in the community. ( Refer appendix 7)
B. Socio-Economic Background
9. As the Project will not acquire any private land, social Impacts are confined to movable structures placed on RoW. Affected mobile vendors will be assisted in moving temporarily to the other side of the road and re-establish their structures as soon as construction is over. Where moving is not required, access will be ensured by the contractor. The construction period is estimated to be 14 day per section of work and all the affected business establishments and vendors will be given 14 day income loss as per the policy framework and entitlements for the Program. To assess the temporary social impacts a series of transect walks were conducted in the city; this was followed by a 100 percent census and a socio-economic survey conducted in the areas, where the works are to be done. This was conducted with the help of a predesigned tool. The Census was conducted using a two page questionnaire. 10. A Socio-economic Survey on 20% of the occupants of the affected structures was Conducted. as per the requirements after the completion of Census survey in the stretches of impact of the proposed construction package. This was done with the aid of a structured close ended (for ease of information processing ).

11. The only AP is having a residence-cum-business establishment within the RoW. He has a nuclear family with 5 members. The affected structure is semi-pucca, temporary in nature and the income from this structure is Rs 100 per day3. However, as per decisions, It was ensured that the AP was paid minimum wage of Rs. 100/- per day as in 2010 against loss of livelihood. The detail socio-economic data is presented in Appendix 2. C. Policy Framework and Entitlements
12. The Policy Framework and entitlements for the program are based on national laws:
The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LLA, amended in 1984), and the National Resettlement and
Rehabilitation Policy, 2007 (NRRP); ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 1995; and
the agreed Resettlement Framework (RF). Based on these, the following core involuntary
resettlement principles applicable are:
(i) land acquisition, and other involuntary resettlement impacts will be avoided or minimized exploring all viable alternative sub-Project designs;
(ii) where unavoidable, time-bound RPs will be prepared and affected persons (APs) will be assisted in improving or at least regaining their pre-program standard of living;
(iii) consultation with APs on compensation, disclosure of resettlement information to APs, and participation of APs in planning and implementing sub-Projects will be ensured;
(iv) vulnerable groups will be provided special assistance4; (v) payment of compensation to APs including non-titled persons (e.g., informal
dwellers/squatters, and encroachers) for acquired assets at replacement rates;
(vi) payment of compensation and resettlement assistance prior to the contractor taking physical acquisition of the land and prior to the commencement of any construction activities;
(vii) provision of income restoration and rehabilitation; and (viii) establishment of appropriate grievance redress mechanisms.
13. Policy framework and entitlements are further discussed in Appendix 3. The entitlement matrix5 for the sub-Project based on the above policies of this RP are in Table 2.
3 Minimum wage in Rajasthan was Rs.73 per day (2009), since the income of the AP was Rs. 100 during socio economic
survey June 2008, the question of minimum wages did not arise, when the SRP was prepared in February 2009 for the first
time. Subsequently due to change of scope, SRP was revised for the second time in January 2012. The present SRP is the
third revision for incorporating the scope of new package. However, the no. of AP remains 01 as in the first submission. The AP
was paid Rs 100 per day as compensation on 04.10.2010 as per the minimum wage rate applicable at that time i.e. Rs. 100/-
per day. . 4 Including poor households, households headed by women, the elderly, the disabled scheduled tribes &
Scheduled Caste considered vulnerable based on the agreed Indigenous People Development Framework
(IDPF) 5 While no impacts are noted on common resources, such row is included in the entitlement matrix as there is a
probability of impacts on common resources should alignment change after detailed design

D. Consultation, Information Dissemination, Disclosure, and Grievance Redress
14. The RP was prepared in consultation with stakeholders. Meetings and individual interviews were held involving stakeholders, particularly potentially temporarily affected persons; and transect walks, census, survey and interviews were conducted to determine the potential impacts of sub-Project construction to prepare the sample sub-Project RP. Following the model developed for the MFF, a town-wide stakeholder consultation workshop was conducted which provided an overview of the Program and sub-Projects to be undertaken in Dholpur; and discussed the Government and ADB’s resettlement policies and potential resettlement impacts of the sub-Projects in Dholpur. During the workshop, Hindi versions of the RF were provided to ensure stakeholders understood the objectives, policy principles and procedures for any land acquisition, compensation and other assistance measures for any AP. During consultations, key issues raised were: (i) participants expressed satisfaction that there was a sub-Project taking care of their needs which they have waited for 25-30 years; (ii) they are not hesitant to move or shift if necessary to accommodate the work; (iii) they are willing to provide labor for the sub-Project; and (iv) they raised that it is important to repair the roads after sub-Project construction. Consultation records are in Appendix 4.
15. Information continues to be disseminated to APs and beneficiaries through various10. media. English and Hindi versions of the RF and RP are placed in the Urban Local Body (ULB) office and APs have accesses to RPs. The NGO engaged to implement the RP will continue consultations, information dissemination, and disclosure. A strategy for continued consultations and participation is in the RF. The RP is available in the ULB office, Investment Program Project Management Unit and Implementation Unit (IPMU and IPIU) offices, and the town library. The finalized RP will also be disclosed in ADB’s website, the State Government website, the local government website, and the IPMU and IPIU websites. ADB review and approval of the RP is required prior to award of civil works contracts; and compensation/assistance of APs is required prior to commencement of civil works. Consultation and disclosure activities to be followed are in Appendix 5. 16. Grievances of APs will first be brought to the attention of the implementing NGO or Social Development Specialist (SDS). Grievances not redressed by the NGO or SDS will be brought to the City Level Committees (CLC) set up to monitor project implementation in each town. The CLC, acting as a grievance redress committee (GRC) is chaired by the District Collector with representatives from the ULB, state government agencies, IPIU, community-based organizations (CBOs) and NGOs. As GRC, the CLC will meet every month. The GRC will determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint, failing which the grievance will be addressed by the inter-ministerial Empowered Committee (EC). The Committee will be chaired by the Minister of Urban Development and Local Self Government Department (LSGD), and members will include Ministers, Directors and/or representatives of other relevant Government Ministries and Departments. Further grievances will be referred by APs to the appropriate courts of law. The IPIU will keep records of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and final outcome. The grievance redress process is shown in Figure 1.

All costs involved in resolving the complaints will be borne by the IPMU. The GRCs will continue to function throughout the project duration
E. Compensation and Income Restoration 17. APs will be provided 30 days advance notice to ensure no or minimal disruption in livelihood. If required, they will also be assisted to temporarily shift for continued economic activity. For example they will be assisted to shift to the other side of the road where there is no construction. Ensuring there is no income or access loss during sub-Project construction is the responsibility of contractors. Consistent with the initial environmental examination, contractors will ensure: leaving spaces for access between mounds of soil, providing walkways and metal sheets to maintain access across trenches for people and vehicles where required, increased workforces to finish work in areas with impacts on access, timing of works to reduce disruption during business hours, phased construction schedule and working one segment at a time and one side of the road at a time.

18. Should construction activities result in unavoidable livelihood disruption, compensation for lost income or a transitional allowance for the period of disruption whichever is greater will be provided. Vulnerable APs will be given priority in project construction employment. 19. Compensation and assistance to APs must be made prior to possession of land/assets and prior to the award of civil works contracts.
F. Institutional Framework, Resettlement Costs, and implementation Schedule 20. The LSGD is the Executing Agency (EA) responsible for overall technical supervision and execution of all sub-Projects funded under the Program. The Implementing Agency (IA) is the Project Management Unit of the ongoing RUIDP, which has been expanded and assigned as the IPMU, to coordinate construction of sub-Projects and ensure consistency across the towns. The EC provides LSGD with central policy guidance and coordination. The IPMU is assisted by: Investment Program Management Consultants (IPMC) who manages the Program and assure technical quality of the design and construction; and Design and Supervision Consultants (DSC), who are designing the infrastructure, managing the tendering of Contractors, and supervising construction. 21. IPIUs have already been established in the project towns to manage implementation of sub Projects in their areas. CLCs will monitor sub-Project implementation in each town. They will appoint Construction Contractors (CC) to build elements of the infrastructure in a particular town (supervised by DSC). Once the infrastructure begins to operate, responsibility will be transferred to the appropriate state or local Government Agency (GA), who will be given training, support and financial assistance through the Program where necessary to enable them to fulfill their responsibilities. They will employ local Operations and Maintenance Contractors (OMC) to maintain and repair the infrastructure as required. 22. Resettlement issues are coordinated by a Social Development Specialist (IPMU SDS) within the IPMU, who ensures that all sub-Projects comply with involuntary resettlement safeguards. A Resettlement Specialist (RS) who is part of the IPMC team assists the SDS. SDS, as part of the DSC, have been appointed to work with each IPIU to update the RP in the detailed design stage, and to prepare RPs for new subprojects, where required to comply with Government and ADB policies. NGO is appointed to implement RPs. The responsible agencies, resettlement costs, and implementation schedules are provided in Tables 3, 4, and 5, respectively.

G. Monitoring and Evaluation
23. RP implementation will be closely monitored to provide the IPMU with an effective basis for assessing resettlement progress and identifying potential difficulties and problems. Internal monitoring will be undertaken by the IPIU with assistance from the IPMU. Internal monitoring will involve: (i) administrative monitoring to ensure that implementation is on schedule and problems are dealt with on a timely basis; (ii) socio-economic monitoring during and after any resettlement impact utilizing baseline information established through the socio-economic survey of APs undertaken during project sub-preparation, and (iii) overall monitoring to assess AP status. Job charts will be given to the SDS. The job charts will indicate the targets to be achieved during the month. Monthly progress report will be prepared and submitted to the IPMU, reporting actual achievements against the targets fixed in their respective job charts and reasons for shortfalls, if any. The IPIU will be responsible for managing and maintaining AP databases, documenting results of AP census, and verifying asset and socio-economic survey data which will be used as the baseline for assessing RP implementation impacts. The EA will appoint an independent agency to undertake external monitoring to document: (i) restoration of income levels; (ii) changes and shifts in occupation pattern; (iii) changes in AP type of housing; (iv) assessment of APs access to amenities, such as water, electricity, and transportation; and (v) performance of NGO, IPIU, and IPMU in resettlement implementation. The independent agency will monitor sub-Projects twice a year and submit reports directly to the EA (IPMU). The EA will submit all external monitoring reports to ADB for review. Further details are in the RF.

Policy and Legal Framework The policy framework and entitlements for the Program are based on national laws: The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LAA, amended in 1984) the National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2007 (NRRP); and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 1995. The salient features of Government and ADB polices are summarized below.
1. Government Policy
a. National Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2007 The NRRP stipulates the minimum facilities to be ensured for persons displaced due to the acquisition of land for public purposes. The objectives of the Policy are:
(i) to minimize displacement and to identify non-displacing or least displacing alternatives;
(ii) to plan resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected families (PAFs) or project affected households (PAHs), including tribal and vulnerable households;
(iii) to provide improved standard of living to PAFs or PAHs; and (iv) to facilitate a harmonious relationship between the requiring body and PAFs.
Though NRRP is applicable for projects where over 400 PAFs in the plains or 200 PAFs in hilly or tribal areas are displaced, the basic principles can be applied to resettling and rehabilitating PAFs regardless of the number affected. NRRP’s provisions are intended to mitigate adverse impacts on PAFs. While key principles of NRRP are similar, and for some items go beyond ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995), NRRP excludes linear projects (which acquire only narrow strips of land). Linear impacts and temporary linear impacts (which is the likely impact of the Program) are not covered by NRRP. Further, there is no law on resettlement in the country. The law relating to the acquisition of privately owned immoveable property is the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 (LAA, amended 1984) discussed in the following section.
b. Land Acquisition Act, 1894 The LAA provides a framework for facilitating land acquisition in India. LAA enables the State Government to acquire private land for public purposes. LAA ensures that no person is deprived of land except under LAA and entitles APs to a hearing before acquisition. The main elements of LAA are:
(i) Land identified for the purpose of a project is placed under Section 4 of the LAA. This constitutes notification. Objections must be made within 50 days to the District Collector (DC, the highest administrative officer of the concerned District).
(ii) The land is then placed under Section 6 of the LAA. This is a declaration that the Government intends to acquire the land. The DC is directed to take steps for the acquisition, and the land is placed under Section 9. Interested parties are then invited to state their interest in the land and the price. Under Section 11, the DC will make an award within one year of the date of publication of the declarations. Otherwise, the acquisition proceedings shall lapse.
18
(iii) In case of disagreement on the price awarded, within 6 weeks of the award, the parties (under Section 18) can request the DC to refer the matter to the Courts to make a final ruling on the amount of compensation.
(iv) Once the land has been placed under Section 4, no further sale or transfer is allowed.
(v) Compensation for land and improvements (such as houses, wells, trees, etc.) is paid in cash by the project authorities to the State Government, which in turn compensates landowners.
(vi) The price to be paid for the acquisition of agricultural land is based on sale prices recorded in the District Registrar's office averaged over the three years preceding notification under Section 4. The compensation is paid after the area is acquired, with actual payment by the State taking about two or three years. An additional 30 percent is added to the award as well as an escalation of 12 percent per year from the date of notification to the final placement under Section 9. For delayed payments, after placement under Section 9, an additional 9 percent per annum is paid for the first year and 15 percent for subsequent years.
2. ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, 1995 The three important elements of ADB’s involuntary resettlement policy are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it. For any ADB operation requiring involuntary resettlement, resettlement planning is an integral part of project design, to be dealt with from the earliest stages of the project cycle, taking into account the following basic principles:
(i) Involuntary resettlement will be avoided whenever feasible. (ii) Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized. (iii) All lost assets acquired or affected will be compensated. Compensation is
based on the principle of replacement cost. (iv) Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of a
development project or program. APs need to be provided with sufficient resources to re-establish their livelihoods and homes with time-bound action in co-ordination with civil works.
(v) APs are to be fully informed and closely consulted. (vi) APs are to be assisted to integrate economically and socially into host
communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted.
(vii) The absence of a formal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements. (viii) APs are to be identified and recorded as early as possible to establish their
eligibility, through a census which serves as a cut-off date, and prevents subsequent influx of encroachers.
(ix) Particular attention will be paid to vulnerable groups including those with out legal title to land or other assets; households headed by women; the elderly or disabled; and indigenous groups. Assistance must be provided to help them improve their socio-economic status.
(x) The full resettlement costs will be included in the presentation of project costs and benefits.
19
C. Comparison of Borrower’s Policy with the RF The NRRP represents a significant milestone in the development of a systematic approach to address resettlement issues in India. LAA, 1894 however gives directives for acquisition of land in public interest and provides benefits only to titleholders. Table 1 presents a comparison of Government polices (LAA and NRRP) in comparison with the RF which is consistent with ADB’s involuntary resettlement policy.
Table 1: Comparison Between the Borrower’s and ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement
Policy
Policy Principles LAA NRRP Remarks Compliance of proposed RF with ADB’s IR Policy
1. Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible.
r� a�
LAA is applicable wherever private land is to be acquired by Government for public purpose.
This is addressed in the RF. The locations for project components have been identified in such a manner that IR is avoided to the extent possible. These IR impacts shall be further minimized during detailed designs.
2. Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring viable project options.
r� a�
LAA is applicable wherever private land is to be acquired by Government for public purpose.
This is addressed in the RF. The locations for project components have been identified in such a manner that IR is avoided to the extent possible. These IR impacts shall be further minimized during detailed designs.
3. If individuals or a community must lose their land, means of livelihood, social support systems, or way of life in order that a project might proceed, they should be compensated and assisted so that their economic and social future will generally be at least as favorable with the project as without it. Appropriate land, housing, infrastructure, and other compensation, comparable to the without project situation, should be provided to the adversely affected population, including indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, and pastoralists who may have usufruct or customary rights to the land or other resources taken for the project.
r� a�
According to the ADB’s IR policy full RP is required when 200 or more people will experience major impacts. A Short RP is required when resettlement is insignificant when less than 200 people will experience major impacts. According to the NRRP, RP should be prepared when it involves resettlement of more than 500 families (roughly about 2,000 persons) in plain areas and 200 families (roughly about 1,000 people) in hilly areas, Desert Development Programme (DDP) blocks, areas mentioned in Schedule V and Schedule VI of the Constitution of India.
The RF addresses the IR impacts. The entitlements to the APs are outlined in the Entitlement Matrix.

required when resettlement is insignificant when less than 200 people will experience major impacts. According to the NRRP, RP should be prepared when it involves resettlement of more than 400 families (roughly about 2,500 persons) in plain areas and 250 families (roughly about 1,250 people) in hilly areas, Desert Development Programme (DDP) blocks, areas mentioned in Schedule V and Schedule VI of the Constitution of India.
� �
LAA does not provide for resettlement. However, it specifies the time limit for acquisition, though the project / program for which it is conceived need not necessarily be time-bound.
A time-bound action plan and implementation schedule for the IR activities is outlined. The key RP activities are identified and the responsibilities for the same outlined.
5. The affected people should be fully informed and closely consulted on resettlement and compensation options. Where adversely affected people are particularly vulnerable, resettlement and compensation decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase to build up the capacity of the vulnerable people to deal with the issues.
r� a�
LAA recognizes only titleholders, who are to be notified prior to acquisition.
Consultations have been carried out with APs. This will be further consolidated by the RP implementing NGO. The plan for information disclosure in the project, including the RF.
6. Appropriate patterns of social organization should be promoted, and existing social and cultural institutions of resettlers and their hosts should be supported and used to the greatest extent possible. Resettlers should be integrated economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on host communities are minimized. One of the effective ways of achieving this integration may be by extending development benefits to host communities.

compensation. Affected persons entitled to compensation and rehabilitation should be identified and recorded as early as possible, preferably at the project identification stage, in order to prevent an influx of illegal encroachers, squatters, and other nonresidents who wish to take advantage of such benefits. Particular attention should be paid to the needs of the poorest affected persons including those without legal title to assets,, female-headed households and other vulnerable groups, such as indigenous peoples, and appropriate assistance provided to help them improve their status.
acquisition and for a hearing in case of any objection. Acquisition under the Act is permitted within one year from the date of declaration of intent to acquire, failing which, the process has to start again. LAA does not regard non-titleholders as APs. The Rajasthan Urban Housing and Habitat
Policy, 2006 aims to provide tenurial rights to urban slum dwellers with special emphasis on persons belonging to scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, weaker sections, physically handicapped and widows. This is consistent with recognizing those without legal titles and the vulnerable.
of the APs is outlined in the RF.
8. The full costs of resettlement and compensation, including the costs of social preparation and livelihood programs as well as the incremental benefits over the “without project” situation, should be included in the presentation of Project costs and benefits.

According to the ADB’s IR policy full RP is required when 200 or more people will experience major impacts. A Short RP is required when resettlement is insignificant when less than 200 people will experience major impacts. According to the NRRP, RP should be prepared when it involves resettlement of more than 500 families (roughly about 2,500 persons) in plain areas and 250 families (roughly about 1,250 people) in hilly areas, Desert Development Programme (DDP) blocks, areas mentioned in Schedule V and Schedule VI of the Constitution of India.
The RF addresses the IR impacts. The entitlements to the APs are outlined in the Entitlement Matrix.

The NRRP’s concept of replacement cost is not clearly defined. However, the NRRP does consider various compensation packages to substitute the losses of APs.
This is addressed in the Entitlement Matrix

APPENDIX 5
CONSULTATION AND DISCLOSURE
A. Consultation
Consultations will be held with special emphasis on vulnerable groups. Encouraging public participation in consultations informs the public of the Program and serves as a venue for the public to express their opinion on priorities which the Program should address.
The key stakeholders to be consulted during RP implementation and Program implementation includes:
(i) all APs, including vulnerable households; (ii) program beneficiaries; (iii) host populations in resettlement sites; (iv) elected representatives, community leaders, and representatives of community-
based organizations; (v) local NGOs; (vi) local government and relevant government agency representatives; and (vii) Program staff, IPMU, IPIU, and consultants.
Consultations conducted during RP implementation will identify help required by APs during rehabilitation. Continuing involvement of those affected by sub-Projects is necessary in the resettlement process. The IPIU will ensure that APs and other stakeholders are informed and consulted about the sub-Project, its impact, their entitlements and options, and allowed to participate actively in the development of the sub-Project. This will be done particularly in the case of vulnerable APs, who will be encouraged to choose options that entail the lowest risk. This exercise will be conducted throughout the sub-Project—during preparation, implementation, and monitoring of sub-Project results and impacts.
The implementing NGOs will ensure that views of APs, particularly those who are vulnerable, related to the resettlement process are looked into and addressed. The NGOs will ensure that APs consulted are informed of the outcome of the decision-making process, and will confirm how their views were incorporated. Since resettlement is a continuous process and baseline data/information will be collected, the implementing NGO will regularly update the baseline information.
B. Disclosure
Information was and continues to be disseminated to APs for the sample sub- Projects. Finalized RPs will be disclosed in ADB’s website, IPMU websites, and IPIU or town websites; and information dissemination and consultation will continue throughout program implementation.
The IPIU SDS will conduct consultations and disseminate information to all APs. RPs will be translated into the local language and made available at offices of the: (i) Urban Local Bodies (ULBs); (ii) relevant local government line agencies; and (iii) IPMU and IPIUs. RPs will also be kept in the public libraries, accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness.
The RF and RPs will be disclosed in the following websites: IPMU, IPIU, State Government, local governments, and ADB. The IPMU will issue notification of implementation start dates for each sub-Project. The notice will be issued by the IPMU in local newspapers one month ahead of implementation. This will create awareness of project implementation. The IPMU and IPIUs will provide information on IR policies and features of the RP. Basic information such as sub-Project location, impact estimates, entitlements, and implementation schedule will be presented in the form of a brochure that will be circulated among APs. Posters
27
containing basic RP information will also be posted in different localities to increase awareness. Copies of RP summaries will be kept in the IPMU and IPIU offices and will be distributed to any AP consulting on resettlement issues. The RF will be made available in local language during public meetings. This will enable stakeholders to provide inputs on the resettlement process, prior to award of civil work contracts.
An intensive information dissemination campaign for APs will be conducted by the IPIU with assistance from the implementing NGO at the outset of RP implementation. All the comments made by the APs will be documented in the sub-Project records and summarized in sub-Project monitoring reports. A summary of consultation and disclosure activities to be followed for each sub-Project are in Table 1.

PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS
For Waste Water Eastern Zone (part B)
The proposed project area for which consultation has been done is of Sewerage System in Dholpur Town Eastern Zone Part B. The width of the commercial/ Market street where trenching will be made for laying of sewer line are approx 5.5 meter to 12 meter in which 200 mm dia to 300 mm dia sewerline will be laid down . Less than 1 meter wide trench having depth of minimum 1 meter to 4.5 meter will be made to lay the sewer line.
A significant portion of proposed area where sewer line is to be laid have small commercial activities. During Site survey it is found that there might be be short term temporary inconvience but no major impact on commercial activities. Therefore, no affected person was found, the accesibbility of the shops will not be hampered since sewerline will be laid in the middle of road and on both side minimum 2 -4 meter wide passes will be still available during construction time . Possibility of minor traffic diversion exists for which there are alternative streets available where traffic can be diverted easily in almost all of the project area.
The consultation has been done to know the opinion/suggesion of public and information dissemenation about the project. At 8 place consultation has been done where inconvenience is likey during construction. Addition to that at many place informal consultation has been done mainly in small residential streets where lateral sewer will be laid. At most of the places people are ready to extend their cooperation but at the same time they are also concerned that when construction takes a longer time it causes trouble as trenches are left opened for many days as witnessed in other part of town where construction work is already in progress.
