E mldlonl1i E.1 BACKGROUND The proposed Assam State Road Project (ASRP) is an initiative of the Government of Assam (GoA) to undertake road improvements and related asset management in the state. n order to achieve the set goals, the GoA has requested the World Bank (WB) for a funding of US $ 200 million for upgradation and periodic maintenance including replacement of timber bridges of Phase roads. The improvement works including pavement strengthening/rehabilitation and other improvements within the existing RoW will be implemented under two Phases: Phase covering 800 km of road length and Phase containing the remaining 400km. Further, the Phase- will be implemented in 2 stages, out of which the Stage - will cover a road length of 310 km over eight project corridors. The Stage- roads are further divided into 11 contract packages. The ndigenous People Development Plan (PDP) consists of 8 packages, which covers 216 kms of roads consisting of SH-46 (Dudhnoi-Golpara), SH-3 (Morigaon-Nagaon), SH-31 (Jorhat-Morioni), SH 32 (Borhola-Goronga), SH-2 (Bongaigaon-Chapaguri section and Barpeta-River Manas), SH-22 (Demaji-Gogamukh), Sh-42 (Lakhimpur-Ghilamara) and SH-45 (Sonitpur-Soibari). The project roads cover Golpara, Morigaon, Jorhat, Golaghat, Bongaigaon, Barpeta, Lakhimpur, Sonitpur and Dhemaji districts. This executive summary summarizes the Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) of all 8 packages. E.1.1 Proposed mprovements The existing carriageways of the roads vary from single lane to intermediate lanes in rural areas and 2 lane in urban areas. The proposed improvements consist of improving the existing carriage way into two lanes with 2.5 m of earthen shoulder in rural areas and 1.5 m of paved shoulder in urban areas. There are no existing or proposed bypasses or major realignments around settlements; therefore, concentric widening has been proposed to minimize land acquisition requirements. The pavement design criteria considered for base and sub base is 15 years and for the surface course is 10 years, The project roads consist of 46 minor bridges and 20 major bridges, The proposed improvements include reconstruction of 16 minor bridges and 6 major bridges and with or without maintenance of 9 minor and 10 major bridges. 11 major and 6 minor bridges are already under construction; and 2 New RCC Bridges proposed to be constructed on missing link. The formation width of the new structures will be 10 to 12m. Apart from the bridges, there are 257 culverts along the 8 road corridors consisting of 72 slab culverts, 172 hume pipe culverts and 13 box culverts, The proposed improvements include construction of 84 new culverts, widening of 11 existing CUlverts. E.2 NEED FOR RESETTLEMENT ACTON PLAN The inadequacy of available RoW along the project corridor has triggered the need for land acquisition (extent of land acquisition varies from 1.0 m to 5.0 m along the project corridor). To address the impacts due to land acquisition and displacement, this RAP has been prepared. The entitlement matrix of the RAP for the ASRP has been prepared after duly incorporating the provisions of the state policy 1, the National R&R policy and the Operational Policies (OP) on nvoluntary Resettlement of the World Bank. The RAP for ASRP includes the following: 1 The GoA drafted the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy (2004) for the road sector projects, The policy directs preparation of a RAP for the project affected and displaced families,

E.3 NEED FOR RESETTLEMENT POLCY FRAMEWORK The Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has been prepared to facilitate the preparation of RAP for the project roads to be subsequently taken under ASRP. The present RAP covers only part of the stage-1 roads under the ASRP and more roads are also to be taken up in other areas of Assam for improvement. The RPF provides legal policy framework for land acquistion, procedure for preparation of RAP, implementation strategy and institutional arrangements for the implementation of RAP. E.4 ALTERNATVE OPTONS AND MNMZATON OF MPACTS To minimize land acquisition and its impacts on assets and livelihood of people, different cross sections have been adopted for rural and urban areas. Two altemative options were adopted for the proposed RoW for the project as below: Option 1: Row of 40m, i.e 20 m on either side of the road; and Option 2: RoW for construction limits and additional 2 m for utility line in rural sections. Option-2 has been selected for the entire corridor as it reduces private land required for acquisition from 170.8 ha to 43.195 ha and number of affected structures from 4291 to 2237. Currently, there are no bypasses along the settlements of all the 8 corridors. There are no new bypasses proposed. To minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts, concentric widening is adopted in all the built-up sections. The proposed designs have been prepared without shifting the existing centerline and minor realignments proposed at places where geometric improvements are warranted and at locations for construction of new bridges. E.5 ASSESSMENT OF MPACTS E.S.1 Census Survey of PAHs Census survey has been carried out for 100% of PAH present during the survey period for the project corridor. The last date of the census survey was the cut of date for the PAP/PAH to establish their presence within the project corridor of impact. The corridor wise cut of date for the PAHs is given in Table E-1. Socio-economic baseline survey was carried out for 25 % of the project affected households. The census survey includes the details of the project affected HH, details of the property (land, structures, use of the structure, age, level of impacts, etc. The socio-economic baseline survey includes name of persons, gender, age, marital status, education, occupation and income details. The census survey was based on the final design duly approved by the ASRP. The PAPs along the proposed corridor of impact were verified with reference to the centreline of the proposed corridor. The distance and offset of the assets and properties from the new centre line were measured. This helped to arrive at the updated and final list of PAPs. E-2

These formal consultations were attended by about 600 participants representing various stakeholder groups including the affected persons. n addition to these consultation meetings were carried out for the relocation of community cultural properties. A series of consultations were carried out with officials of the revenue department, the forest department, the Tribal Welfare Department, etc for preparing action plans for necessary clearances and speedy land acquisition. ndividual household level consultations were carried out during census and socioeconomic surveys. The consultations have helped in not only achieving the social assessment objectives, but also assisted in gathering suggestions for mitigation of adverse impacts, improvement in designs and facilitating inputs for the resettlement plan preparation and implementation. Consultation was carried out with 61 individual ST PAPs and 4 Tribal Autonomous Councils operating with in the project area, which covers Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council, Tiwa Autonomous Council, Bodoland Territorial Council and Mising Autonomous Council. There was no apposition for the project from the tribal councils. To ensure and encourage participation of women in the project planning and implementation process consultation with 760 women PAPs was also carried out. E.5.3 Magnitude of mpacts The project involves land acquisition of 43.195 ha (Table E-2). The type of lands to be acquired for the project includes residential, commercial, agricultural and tea gardens. The other category includes waste, dry and vacant lands. S.
