I. PROJECT BACKGROUND

1. The Government of Madhya Pradesh (GOMP) has been using a combination of budgetary, PPP, and ADB financing, to improve road network in Madhya Pradesh. ADB has supported numerous state highways and rural roads. However, the intermediate tiers, major district roads (MDRs), have not been specifically targeted for improvement resulting in overall poor road network connectivity. MDRs form the key linkage between rural, peri-urban and urban areas, and have to be essentially developed to complete state road connectivity. GoMP has now proposed to improve the MDRs through the Madhya Pradesh District Connectivity Sector Project (the Project) financed by ADB1. The Project will improve transport connectivity in the state by rehabilitating and upgrading major district roads (MDRs). The Project constitutes (i) rehabilitating and upgrading about 1530 km of MDRs; (ii) improving road maintenance and asset management; and (iii) developing an efficient accident response system. MPRDC specifically, targeting MDRs to form key linkage between rural, semi-urban and urban areas and complete state road connectivity. The Executing Agency (EA) will be the GoMP acting through the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC) and the IAs will be the 10 Project Implementation Units (PIUs). 2. The Project will improve the 54 subproject roads identified by MPRDC. The list of all 54 road sections identified for Phase-5 are provided in Appendix-1.Since the project will follow a sector loan modality, 9 subprojects roads with 250 km length were selected to screen significance of potential social safeguard issues and determine the scope of mitigation measures to address these issues. This due diligence report covers assessment of thirty nine non- sample MDRs totalling about 1040.47 km road length. The construction period for all roads under the project will include a 12 – 24 month construction period and a 5 years performance based maintenance period.

3. As a part of project preparation, detailed social impact assessment has been carried out for all thirty nine non-sample subprojects. This Social Due Diligence Report (SDDR) is based on the review of final detailed design report and social assessment of individual subprojects carried out during the project preparation. A Resettlement Framework (RF) and an Indigenous People’s Planning Framework (IPPF) is already prepared for the entire project under Madhya Pradesh District Roads I Sector Project to guide the preparation of non-sample subprojects. The RF and IPPF are prepared in compliance with relevant policies and regulations of the Government of India, GoMP, and the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS).

II. SUBPROJECT COMPONENTS AND DESIGN CRITERIA

4. The subproject activities involve improvement of existing major district roads within available RoW. The road widening activities primarily will comprise of raising the embankment at certain locations and its stabilization including construction of retaining wall if required, especially near water bodies overlay on the existing carriageway, junction improvement, and construction of minor bridges, culvert and RCC drain in built-up section. 5. The existing Right of Way (RoW) of the subproject roads varies from 12 to 20 meters, which is not properly demarcated on ground. Keeping in view the unavailability of the uniform RoW and existing ribbon development along the subproject roads, multiple design criteria are adopted to ensure avoidance of any adverse impacts to the roadside settlers. It is confirmed

3

that no additional land will be acquired under any of the subproject and therefore the standard design criteria adopted for the subproject roads are the following:

Proposed carriageway for the open area will be from 5.5 meter to 7.0 meter depending on the availability of the land.

Proposed carriageway for the built-up area will be from 3.75 meter to 5.5 meter depending on the availability of land.

Proposed pavements will be concrete one and width of shoulders and provision of drains will be accommodated within the existing RoW.

6. The typical cross sections (TCS) in built-up area, rural areas, and overlay locations are shown in Figure 1.

Grievance Redress Cell (GRC) will be established at the MPRDC state level and at the PIU level to assure accessibility for Affected Persons. The GRCs are expected to resolve grievances of the eligible persons within a stipulated time. The decision of the GRCs will be binding, unless vacated by the court of law. The grievance redress mechanism is given in Figure 2. 53. Complaints may be lodged directly to the contractor or CSC or PIU at the site level. To the extent possible efforts will be made by the contractor, CSC or PIU to address these complaints immediately on site. Only those complaints that cannot be addressed immediately at the site level will be submitted to the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC). The respective receiver of the complaint will make necessary assistance for completing the complaint form or lodging a written complaint to illiterate complainants. 54. The GRC will continue to function, for the benefit of the DPs, during the entire life of the project including the five year maintenance period. The composition of this two-tire GRC will be as per the following:

The State level GRC will comprise of the:

i) General Manager, MPRDC, Bhopal ii) Superintended Engineer, PWD, Bhopal iii) DGM, MPRDC, Bhopal iv) Manager (Environment & Social), MPRDC, Bhopal

VII. GENDER ISSUE UNDER THE PROJECT

55. During the FGD, the women members expressed the view, that construction of road will definitely ease the trouble, especially during the monsoon. Better quality road will help students, especially girls to attend schools. The bicycle journey to school will become comfortable for them. Improved road will increase women’s mobility, especially those who go for distance

unskilled jobs, local markets, and health centres etc. Due to better road, visit of health staff, especially ANM and school teacher will increase. 56. Women’s contribution to the project area economy is very low because of under estimation of the role of women in various sectors of economy. There are differences in men’s and women’s pay, unequal access to stable employment. Women are engaged in “hidden work” unpaid but economically necessary in the domestic, agriculture and informal sectors. 57. Information on Access to and Control over certain important aspects; such as Resources, Markets and Socio Cultural, were obtained from the respondents. It is revealed that while women have access to almost all resources and services, the controls are primarily in the hands of men only. 58. Women use the road for transport of water, fuel, farm inputs and products, animal fodder, and building materials as well as their participation in rural production are significant. Improved road will provide them ease in movement and time saving.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

59. The assessment of non-sample subprojects reveals that the improvement work will be limited to the existing RoW and will not involve any additional land acquisition or have any impact on non-titleholders. The design options considered for the subprojects have fully avoided any negative impacts on road site settlers and property owners. To avoid impacts, the road design and improvement work is further limited to existing formation width in settlement areas. These 39 non-sample subprojects assessed under the project are classified as Category C projects with regards to involuntary resettlement and indigenous people according to ADB SPS-2009. 60. The Resettlement Framework (RF) and Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF) prepared under the project will further guide the management of social safeguard issues during subproject implementation. The following specific actions are proposed to be implemented during the subproject construction period.

During the implementation any impacts identified under the subprojects will be addressed and mitigated as per the entitlement matrix provided under the project RF.

The EA will ensure that contractor engaged undder the subprojects will finalise the construction camps in consultation with the local community and execute formal lease for the land under utilization.

Equal wages will be paid for men and women workers engaged under the subproject construction work.

The contractor will take all necessary safety measures during costruction for commuters and workers.

To ensure easy access to the registration of grievance by the DPs, PIU should include arrangement of receiving it at contractor camp.

A semi-annaual progress report will be submitted by the EA to ADB on management of social safeguard issues under the project.

The Project RF has provision of assistance for temporary livelihood loss and in case during the implementation, any such impacts are identified and the DPs will offer to forgo these small assistance amount against the positive impacts

resulted from the improved road, an memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be signed by both the parties and the details of such process will be documented in the semi-annual monitoring report and submitted to ADB.
