2.0 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALIGNMENTS

10. The project transmission line passes through two states namely Maharashtra and Karnataka, covering 10 districts and 345 revenue villages (Annexure 1). A comprehensive route justification criterion has been followed towards route selection (Annexure-2). A detailed alternative study of various options has been done before finalization of the alignment.

11. The visiting team held discussions with the site engineers of the Developer, who explained the long and diligent process through which the transmission line alignment is fixed after all necessary measures to minimize impact on habilitations, trees and to reduce inconvenience to the farmers. First the alignment is drawn using topo sheet and then detail alignment is fixed based on field survey, which helps in avoiding impact on villages, forests, any other sensitive zones/ points. The preparatory process starts with OD survey which involves making straight lines on topo sheet (1:50,000); three alternative routes are marked and the best route is chosen based on minimum line length and obstructions. The sensitive spots avoided include National and State Highways, rivers, drainage systems, forests, human settlement, major development works; route lengths are also considered. No human settlement area is being affected due to the project.

3.0 METHODOLOGY

12. Social due diligence for the project was initiated by IIFCL after review of Project Information Memorandum (PIM) to understand the salient features of the project and various social and resettlement concerns. For better understanding, following key social safeguard documents were requested/ received from the Developer, and reviewed by the IIFCL Social Safeguard team, the status of which is given below:


Table 3.1: Availability of documents

Availability Status

Remark

1 Social Impact Assessment (SIA) or sections of feasibility report containing SA

Not Available

An initial social study of the project suggested that no involuntary resettlement and rehabilitations issues are involved in the project. The project alignment has been so selected that it does not pass through any settlement area. No land acquisition issue is involved as part of the project.

2 Resettlement Action Plan Not Applicable

Since no resettlement impact, Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is not required to be prepared for the project.

3 Tribal Development Plan

(if Required) Not

Applicable The route does not pass through any settlement area. The Developer has also confirmed that no tribal population is found on the corridor till date. Thus no Tribal Development Plan required.

4 Lenders Engineer Terms of Reference

Available The scope of work of LIE include – Observe and determine whether the social measures are in place.

13. In absence of any social study report, following relevant documents were collected for

assessing likely social risks and impacts of the project in order to prepare the social safeguard DDR:

• Lender’s Independent Engineer’s report, August 2010; and, • Information pertaining to justification of alignment selection; • Information regarding the methodology adopted for crop compensation; • Information regarding formal public consultation and information disclosure that are

being adopted. • Consultation with developer

14. Relevant information has also been collected during the Lender’s site visit (including LE meet), from 13th April – 15th April 2010, by IIFCL representative. A site visit was jointly conducted by World Bank, IIFCL and project Developer during June 9-10, 2010.


4.0 SOCIAL IMPACT STUDY OF THE PROJECT

4.1 Impact on structure

15. The finalization of the design has been done by consideration the route selection criteria (Annexure 2) to minimize resettlement impact if any. With the analysis of various alternatives, the final route has such been selected that the transmission lines are not passing through any settlement areas and thus there is no adverse impact on residential; or commercial or any other structures along the proposed alignment.

4.2 Impact on land

16. As per section 164 of The Electricity Act 2003 and Indian Telegraph Act 1885, part III, section 10 to 19, the appropriate Government has the authority to place and maintain transmission lines under, over, along or across and posts in or upon any immovable property. Indian Telegraph Act 1885, Part III, Section 10 (b) prohibits acquisition of any right other than that of use only. Land for towers and right of way is not acquired and agricultural activities are allowed to continue. The developers have received clearance from Ministry of Power under section 68 and section 164 of Electricity Act 2003 which is a mandatory requirement for execution of new transmission lines (Annexure 3).

17. Project does not require any land acquisition for erection of tower under the Telegraph Act. The standard tower base area is of a dimension of 12 m. x 12 m. The flooring of each Stub or leg of the tower has a dimension of 400 mm x 400 mm (approx.). Apart from the land used for tower, a larger periphery of land will be required to be cleared temporarily to carry out the construction activities to erect the tower. The area to be temporarily affected varies for different locations, but on an average 40m x 40m. of land is affected temporarily to carry out the tower erection work. The land is temporarily excavated for the pit area which is then filled back and rehabilitated to allow continuation of normal agricultural activities. Moreover, land would also be affected for creating access roads for bringing in the material and the mobile machinery.

18. The impact on land is therefore temporary and the ownership status of the land remains with the landholder. Since the project does not involve setting up of any new sub-stations, thus no land acquisition is required for the project.

19. The substations for these transmission lines are not a part of this project and as per Implementation Agreement shall be facilitated by Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL). PGCIL is an entity which has a corporate level Environment and Social Policy and Procedures (ESPP) endorsed by the World Bank according to which Social Due Diligence for these sub-stations has been conducted by PGCIL (http://www.powergridindia.com/PGCIL_NEW).

4.3 Impact on Indigenous people

20. As per the Census of India 2001 data, the percentage of Schedule Tribe population in the affected districts is very low. Moreover, the criteria followed towards route selection indicate that the proposed route does not pass through any settlement area. And thus it does not disturb any tribal settlement and does not have any adverse impact or create any threat to the survival of any tribal community along the alignment.

4.4 Local employment

21. The project provides limited employment opportunities to the local people during the construction stage, especially with respect to unskilled labor. As informed during the site visit, the nature of work requires specialized skill for the highly technical work such as


erecting or stringing. Local people normally do not have such experience. Thus, the contractors working for tower erection have their own gang of skilled labour who are trained in similar activities. As confirmed by the developer, no local labour has been employed for the Maharashtra section.

4.5 Impact on Livelihoods and Crop compensation

22. In total 2748 numbers of towers is being erected under the project. For each tower an average area of 40 m x 40 m land is being temporarily cleared for carrying out the construction activities. Approximately 439.68 Ha of land will be temporarily affected due to the construction activities. Moreover, additional land would also be affected for creating access roads for bringing in the material and the mobile machinery. As per the electrical clearance, if there are losses to the trees on the tower location and as well as on the line corridor, then the trees are to be removed completely below the conductor and / or lopped for the balance corridor area. Any damage for the loss of crops or any other temporary impacts due to the activities involved in tower erection and access roads during the construction stage is mitigated by providing adequate compensation.

23. The crop compensation procedure for the loss of crops is done in three steps. First step: Identification/ measurement of the exact area, extent of crop damaged and the type of the standing crop during execution.

Second Step: Finding out the yield of the crop with the help of Agricultural University. In the process of crop damage assessment and calculation of compensation, the Agricultural University also refers to daily market price of the crops as published in the local newspaper.

Third step: Calculation of the crops compensation amount is done by using the area, yield and the rate. It can be shown as below,

Crop compensation= Area x Yield x Rate of crop

An example of crop compensation calculation and yield chart is attached as Annexure 4 and Annexure 5 respectively.

24. The compensation for the temporary losses is paid three times during the whole

construction stage. At first it is paid during the laying of Foundation of the tower, second time during the tower Erection and lastly during the Stringing stage. As per the 4th Quarterly LIE report of August 2010, the expenditure towards crop compensation till 30.11.2010 is Rs. 3.65 Crores. Refer Annexure 6 for details of the affected landholders and the progress of crop compensation till November 2010.

25. During the site visit, the team interacted with some affected farmers and their families in

one village along the transmission alignment and found that compensation was transparently determined and distributed; those doing multiple cropping (the number is very small as these are dry land areas) perceived that the compensation is almost close or equal to their crop loss. However they all verified that all the affected farmers were duly identified and compensated. It was found that farmers those who raise limited or no crop also received minimum compensation, which is generally more than what they lose in terms of crop damage. The visiting team did not notice any opposition to the project and people were found to have been cooperative, and that any grievances regarding entitlement were duly addressed.


4.6 Accident Safety (Compensation for Loss of Life or Injury due to the Project)

26. As per Project Information Memorandum, WRTMPL has issued and REL Infra has accepted Letter of Award along with term sheet for the engineering, procurement and construction of the transmission lines under this project. The key terms of the proposed EPC contract entered into between WRTMPL and REL Infra includes that the Contractor shall provide insurance for Worker’s Compensation for any untoward incidents. Moreover, Reliance has Health & Safety policy which gives specific instructions to the contractors regarding the various health and safety issues that has to be taken into consideration during the project implementation stage.

5.0 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS AND PROCESS

27. As per the implementation arrangement, people are informed by a notification published in newspaper about the project and the tentatively affected villages (Annexure 7). As per the procedure, any individual/ organization can file their observation/ reservation to the authorized executive within 60 days of the notification. After which, a detailed land survey is done after the alignment has been finalized on the revenue map. Based on land records (called 7/12) available with the Tehsildar, plot numbers and their owners are identified. A list of Titleholder is prepared based on the 7/12 records (refer Annexure 8) and notices (Annexure 9) are served personally to each of the land owner after measurement of the area of crop loss. A copy of the receipted notice is kept as records by the Developer for all future purposes. The rightful owner then submits a copy of its ownership paper which is then confirmed with the Revenue department. Local farmers and representatives from the local government authorities (Sarpanch) are involved in the distribution process by way of identifying the entitled farmer and testifying in case of change in names.

28. The crop compensation amount is estimated by the developer as per the above mentioned crop compensation calculation methodology. Compensation amount is paid by Demand draft/Cheque to the affected landholders by the Developer (refer Annexure 10). The compensation data are maintained and the process of compensation payment is monitored at the site office level by the site engineers. They have no social scientist, but the process is well understood and managed by the site engineers. The grievances, if any, are addressed by senior executives of Developer or Project Incharge.

6.0 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY 29. It was reported that Community welfare activities such as eye camps, blood donation

camps etc, is organized by the contractor on ad hoc basis. The details of the same as conducted till the last quarter has been attached as Appendix-11.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

30. The sub-project has been prepared by WRTMPL with adequate social safeguard consideration. Various alternative alignments have been considered as part of the project to minimize the impact on settlements, forests and tribal groups. The selected alignment has been approved by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and the Developer has already been granted license under sections 14 and 15 of the Electricity Act 2003. The justifications towards route selection indicate that the proposed route of transmission line does not create any threat to the survival of any tribal community.


31. No land acquisition is involved in the project. The damage to the crops during the construction stage has been adequately compensated to the landholders. The details of such payments have been provided by the Developer. The checklist briefing the findings of SDD is attached as Annexure 12.

32. It can be summarized that apart from the loss of crops, the project does not involve any major social safeguard issues.

8.0 PROPOSED MONITORING BY IIFCL

33. IIFCL has taken up the monitoring of various social issues such as crop compensation status and CSR activities undertaken by the Developer and the villages benefitted under such activity. The details of the same are attached as Annexure 6 and 11.

34. IIFCL shall further undertake site visits to carry out checks and review compliance in terms of distribution of compensation and community development activity undertaken by the developer and shall include such details in the IIFCL’s report to the Bank.

Findings of Social Due Diligence

The below table briefs the findings of the Due Diligence and the remarks by IIFCL.

Sl.

No.

Social Safe

Guard Issues

Findings Remark

1. Impact

Minimization

Measures

Various alternative alignments have

been considered as part of the

project. The selected alignment has

been approved by Central Electricity

Authority (CEA).

Justification towards route

selection indicates that utmost

care is taken to avoid congested

inhabitant areas, villages and

towns wherever possible at the

time of route alignment.

2. Census and

Socio-

Economic

Survey

No such survey has been carried out Since no resettlement issues are

involved therefore such surveys

are not envisaged as part of the

project.

3. Land

Acquisition

Plan

No land acquisition for the project.

Land is used only during the

construction stage and the

ownership of the land remains with

the landholders.

Adequate compensation is

being provided for the loss of

crops and any other temporary

losses.

4. Entitlement

Matrix

The Calculation of the crop

compensation amount is done by

using the area, yield and the rate.

The yield of the crop is decided with

the help of Agricultural University.

In the process of crop damage

assessment and calculation of

compensation, the Agricultural

University also refers to daily

market price of the crops as

published in the local newspaper.

The methodology of crop

compensation is well in place

and a sample document

showing a few cases of crop

compensation calculation is

attached as Annexure 4 and 5.

5. Public

consultation

and disclosure

As part of obtaining authorization

for the selected alignment from

Ministry of Power under section 164

of the Electricity Act 2003 and

obtaining license under sections 14

and 15 of Electricity Act, 2003,

these processes have already been

carried out.

People have been adequately

notified through paper

advertisement. No public

observation/reservation on

project scheme was received

within a notice period of two

months. The relevant document

towards the public notification

and information disclosure is


enclosed in Annexure-7.

6. Impact on

tribal people

The proposed alignment passes

mainly through villages and semi-

urban to urban limits. The

justification towards route selection

(refer Annexure-2) indicate that the

proposed route of transmission line

does not create any threat to the

survival of any tribal community.

As informed by the Developer,

no tribal population is found on

the corridor till date. IIFCL has

advised the Developer to adopt

appropriate mechanism to

minimize the inconvenience to

the Schedule Tribe people if

any.

7. Alternative

resettlement

sites

No resettlement is involved as part

of the project.

No structure will be affected as

part of the project and hence

alternative resettlement is not

required.

8. Socio-

economic

rehabilitation

measures

Adequate compensation is being

provided for any damage to crops

and any other temporary losses.

9. Implementation

Arrangement

There is project implementation

arrangement. WRTMPL is

responsible for :

- Crop Compensation

- Reporting and mitigating the

complaints received for the crop

loss and any other temporary

losses.

- Right of Way

The grievances, if any, are

addressed by senior executives

of Developer or Project

Incharge.

10. Corporate

Social

responsibility

(CSR)

activities

Apart from compensating the

affected people with adequate

compensation, Developer is also

engaged in various CSR activities

which are solely done for the

community development. In this

respect, the Developer has been

organizing free Eye check-up camps

for the local people.
