KUIDFC-NKUSIPResettlement Plan- Hospet town2. Household Details and Social Structure6. The proposed STP site requires land of 15.28 Acres excluding 0.33 Acres of landbelongs to Government perambulate, which was given to Mr B.Srinivasa during 2003-2004.The other land belongs to the farmers/land owners. They are 11 Affected Families out ofwhich 03 women headed families. The total affected persons for the above said land are 60members out of which 26 are women and 34 are men.7. The land owners of 89-Belgodu village survey numbers are residents ofBasavadurga village which is near to the proposed site of STP. The Basavadurga villagehas got nearly 330 house holds with a population of 1100. Nearly 30% of the families havethe lands and the rest are the agricultural / landless labors. On 27th June 2008 CDS ofProgram Consultancy organized the meeting of the affected families, in which the familieswere un willing to give up the lands for the project, the main reason being that they will notget nearby alternative lands in the village and even if available the market rate per acre willbe about Rs 08 Lakhs as indicated by the affected families. The affected families at lastagreed to give up their lands with a request that the Government should give at least Rs.18Lakhs to Rs. 08 Lakhs per acre for their land and give employment to the educated youth ofthe affected families. The affected families will discuss their problems in detail in the meetingconveyed by the Assistant Commissioner of Hospet Sub Division, who is the Authority todecide the compensation as per the Government fixed rates.8. The majority of the affected land owners have the joint family structure. The averagefamily size is 4 to 5. Approximately 95% of the affected families belong to the ScheduledTribes (ST) and all the affected families/households have been mainstreamed in to thesociety despite the fact they belong to the ST category. Therefore, they don’t come underthe category of Indigenous People.9. All the affected persons follow similar practices of income generation, i.e., agricultureand the average annual income being similar to that of mainstream society/householdscovered in the general town level socio-economic condition. Further all the affected personsstay in nearby groups in the town/village. They have been residing in the village/town sincemany generations and their social and cultural practices are the same as those of mainstream society and they are not politically backward either as ST as they are represented inmany of the public/government/private institutions. All the affected persons speak the samelanguage (Kannada) as that of mainstream society and have given no evidence that theypractice or possess any traditional knowledge, different from the main stream society. Basedupon these factors a separate Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) is notrequired.10. Most of the affected persons are literate and the youth in the families have studiedup to secondary school levels while some are graduates. All the affected families have theration cards and the youth are eligible for voting and enrolled in the voters list.11. All the affected families’ expressed agriculture as the primary source of income andthe land proposed for acquisition as the only land possessed by them. Due to ample wateravailability due to the proximity of the Tungabhadra Dam and irrigation canals, the landproposed for acquisition is used for water intensive crops such as sugarcane, bananaplantations while some are also growing gooseberry. The land owners earn Rs.1, 20,000/-per year per acre and after deducting the expenditure for agriculture the family gets nearlyRs 80,000/- per year. If the family grow/maintain banana plantation, the family will getRs.1,00,000/- and after deducting the expenditure the family will get Rs.60,000/- per acreper year.Span Consultants Pvt.

Essentially, indigenous people have asocial and cultural identity distinct from the ‘mainstream’society that makes them vulnerable to being overlooked ormarginalized in thedevelopment processes.No AP possesses the characteristics of indigenouspeoplebased on ADB’s policy.

KUIDFC-NKUSIPResettlement Plan- Hospet town3. Income and Occupational Pattern13. Of the total household members covered under the survey, 35 percent fall under theno worker category while the remaining 65 percent comprise workers. Approximately 45percent of the workers are employed or engaged in income generating activities, whichaccounts for a dependency ratio of 1:6. Due to ample water availability & due to proximity ofthe Tungabhadra Dam and irrigation canals, the land proposed for acquisition is used forwater intensive crops such as sugarcane and paddy. A large percentage of landownerscultivate one crop annually, namely sugarcane, while a few others cultivate two cropsannually – paddy or gooseberry. The remaining few have planted banana and grow flowersin small portions of the land. The average annual income estimated from agriculture,deducting the cost of cultivation is approximately Rs.80,000 per acre (1 ha is equal to 2.47acres). The households are entitled for compensation at the replacement value of the landand subsistence allowance.4. Crop Loan14. All affected landowners obtain crop loans from banks on a yearly basis to cultivatethe land. The average loan size is Rs. 16,000 per acre for the sugarcane crop and Rs. 8,000per acre for the paddy crop. The loan is drawn in the month of May and repaid in the monthof April the following year.5. Employees15. All the landowners themselves cultivate the land with the help of labourers, who areemployed seasonally, depending on the crop(s) cultivated. There are no regular(continuously working for two or more years) agricultural labourers employed by surveyedlandowners as agricultural labourers are migrant workers. Generally, a group of 10-15persons will be appointed for one season. Each person will be paid an average of Rs. 200per day for assigned tasks with the average duration of employment being one and a halfmonth. The stated wages are decided based on labour required and are acceptedthroughout the town. The Hospet ULB will acquire the land during non/post harvestingperiod, to minimize impacts on agricultural labourers in the Investment Program site andallow more time for them to seek employment in other agricultural lands.B. Consultations with APs16. The Hospet STP location was determined based on a detailed topographic survey &further consultation with City Municipal council, Hospet. The Hospet ULB then identified thesurvey numbers. A socio-economic survey was conducted for land owners of identifiedsurvey numbers.17. Consultations with APs indicate that they were concerned about receiving adequatecompensation of the land acquisition that is proposed in the public interest. Adequatecompensation is referred to as an amount that can permit them to buy a land of similar areaand potential in the open market and possibly involves similar commuting requirements andcosts as their current land. The Investment Program ensures compensation at replacementvalue through the District Level Valuation Committee (DLVC). The Investment Program willalso pay for all fees, taxes, and other charges (registration, etc.) incurred for replacementland. A majority of the APs indicated preference for cash compensation, while a few amongsurveyed also indicated preference for land-for-land option.Span Consultants Pvt. Ltd in association with Ramky Infra Consultants Pvt. Ltd 15

KUIDFC-NKUSIPResettlement Plan- Hospet townC. Cut-Off Date18. A socio-economic survey was conducted to determine the likely impacts of landacquisition. The survey also helped confirm the Resettlement Framework and EntitlementMatrix. However, the date of 4 (1) and 6 (1) notifications, issued through DC to intimateLandowners about the Hospet sub-project and land acquisition will be considered as cut-offdate to finalize the list of APs. Any person who was not enumerated but can showdocumentation or evidence that he/she is rightfully an entitled person will be included in thelist of APs. The Program Management Unit (PMU) is responsible for such verification andadjustment.II.OBJECTIVE, FRAMEWORK AND ENTITLEMENTS19. The NKUSIP Resettlement Framework outlines the objectives, principles andprocedures for land acquisition, compensation and other assistance measures for affectedpersons. For the formulation of this Short Resettlement Plan (SRP), the resettlementprinciples outlined in the Resettlement Framework (RF) are adopted:(i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided whenever feasible.(ii) Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized byproviding viable livelihood options.(iii) If individuals or a community must lose all or part of their land, means oflivelihood, or social support systems, so that a project might proceed, theywill be compensated and assisted through replacement of land, housing,infrastructure, resources, income sources, and services, in cash or kind, sothat their economic and social circumstances will be at least restored to thepre-project level. All compensation is based on the principle of replacementcost.(iv) Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of adevelopment project or program: The APs need to be provided with sufficientresources to re-establish their livelihoods and homes with time-bound actionin co-ordination with civil works.(v) The affected people are to be fully informed and closely consulted. Affectedpeople are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order toestablish their eligibility through a population record or census that serves asan eligibility cut-off date, preferably at the project identification stage, toprevent a subsequent influx of encroachers or others who wish to takeadvantage of such benefits.(vi) Institutions of the affected people, and, where relevant, of their hosts, are tobe protected and supported. Affected people are to be assisted to integrateeconomically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts onthe host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted.(vii)(viii)(ix)The absence of a formal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements.Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in orderto establish their eligibility through a population record or census that servesas an eligibility cutoff date, preferably at the project identification stage, toprevent subsequent influx of encroachers or others who wish to takeadvantage of such benefits.Particular attention must be paid to the needs of the poorest affected people,and vulnerable groups that may be at high risk of impoverishment. This mayinclude those without legal title to land or other assets, households headed bySpan Consultants Pvt. Ltd in association with Ramky Infra Consultants Pvt. Ltd 16

Appropriate assistance must be provided to help themimprove their socio-economic status.The full resettlement costs are to be included in the presentation of projectcosts and benefits.20. Entitlements. The entitlement matrix provides guidance for compensation,resettlement, and rehabilitation assistance planning. Lack of title / customary rightsrecognized under law will not be a bar to entitlement. Hence, non-titled encroachers andsquatters as well as indigenous or other groups with customary rights over land orresources, if present in the project area, will be eligible for compensation (the EntitlementMatrix provides additional entitlements to vulnerable persons).21. However, people moving into the project area after the cut-off date are not entitled tocompensation or other assistance. The Entitlement Matrix lists various types of losses,identification/eligibility and entitlements and provides basic parameters for preparation ofcompensation and resettlement benefits. The Entitlement Matrix provides all possiblecategories of losses to ensure that all resettlement impacts of all sub-project components tobe finalized during detailed design will be addressed. The Entitlement Matrix is providedbelow.22. Gender Impacts. The NKUSIP is designed to have a positive impact on women,resulting from better service delivery systems in water supply; sewerage and sanitationfacilities at the city level and in low income/below poverty line households.23. None of the (land) survey numbers proposed for acquisition belongs towomen/female headed households. The proposed land acquisition however will havepotential impacts on female members of affected households.24. The socio-economic status of households affected by the selection of (land) surveynumbers of the sub-project in Hospet indicates no direct negative impacts, on women. ThePlan is meant to ensure women’s participation in NKUSIP implementation. The Plan detailsactions to be taken to ensure gender issues are addressed in various stages of theInvestment Program.Span Consultants Pvt. Ltd in association with Ramky Infra Consultants Pvt. Ltd 17

KUIDFC-NKUSIPResettlement Plan- Hospet townIII.CONSULTATION AND GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL PARTICIPATIONA. Information Dissemination, Consultation, and Disclosure Requirement25. A consultation program was conducted with all APs. Hospet ULB officials along withRO and KUWS&DB officials. The ULB disclosed the information about the InvestmentProgram and the sub-project components proposed in Hospet. Suitability of identified land forsetting up a new STP was also explained to all affected landowners by ULB officials. It wasnoted during the consultations that land owners were highly aware about the procedures ofland acquisition. All APs expressed they should know the detail LA procedure andapproximate amount of compensation, which will be offered to them, under the InvestmentProgram. It was communicated during consultations with APs during June 2008 that theHospet ULB will disclose all relevant information about land acquisition procedures to APs,and that it is mandatory under the Investment Program. The information of Land Acquisitionprocedures followed under the programme is being disclosed by the Hospet ULB.26. Consultations with APs indicate that the APs wanted compensation that will permitthem to buy land of similar area and potential in the open market and possibly involve similarcommuting patterns and costs as the land to be acquired. A majority of APs indicatedpreference for cash compensation instead of land-for-land option. BPL/ vulnerable APsexpressed that they would like receive assistance for income restoration, howeverpreferences were not stated, as APs were not prepared for the same. Hence, this shall beexplored during the detailed socio-economic survey proposed during SRP updation. Theimplementing Non Government Organization (NGO) will ensure each AP is consulted furtherto inform them about the outcome of the decision-making process, and confirm how theirviews were incorporated in sub-project design. Copies of the Resettlement Framework andSRP will be made available both in English and Kannada at the Hospet ULB Office forreference. The RP shall be brought to the notice of all APs with the help of the implementingNGO. The Executing Agency (EA) will prepare a resettlement booklet elaborating APentitlements and the sub-project implementation timetable immediately after approval of SRPfrom ADB.B. Grievance Redressal Mechanisms27. A Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) will be formed to ensure that grievances areaddressed in a timely manner, facilitating timely project implementation. The GRC willcomprise representatives from APs (ensuring representation of vulnerable households), localgovernment/ Hospet ULB, Investment Program Officials – Deputy Project Directors ofNKUSIP, and NGOs/ Community Based Organizations (CBOs). The GRC will redressgrievances at the local-level in a consultative manner and with the participation of the affectedhouseholds, or their representatives. GRC meetings will be convened as necessary toaddress complaints as they arise. The time and date of GRC meetings will be announced toAPs by the implementing NGO and RO a week in advance. To further ensure GRCaccessibility to APs, the implementing NGO and RO will inform APs on grievance redressalprocedures, the functions of the GRC, and how to access the GRC. The grievance redressalprocess is shown in Figure 1. The first level of screening of grievances shall be undertaken bythe implementing NGO and the GRC. The GRC determine the merit of each grievance andattempt to resolve the same within a month from the date of lodging of complaints, failingwhich the grievance shall be addressed to the Deputy Commissioner (DC). The GRC shallforward grievances of serious nature immediately on receipt of complaint to the DC. The DCwill hear appeals against the decisions of GRC. The decision of DC is final and cannot becontested in any other forum except in the Court of Law. All costs incurred in resolving thecomplaints will be borne by the Hospet ULB in Bellary district.Span Consultants Pvt. Ltd in association with Ramky Infra Consultants Pvt. Ltd 22

KUIDFC-NKUSIPResettlement Plan- Hospet townIV.COMPENSATION AND INCOME RESTORATIONA. Compensation28. All APs will be entitled to resettlement benefits besides compensation. In case ofland acquisition, the replacement cost will form the compensation. Loss of income/livelihoodwill be compensated within the overall resettlement package is detailed in the entitlementmatrix. A DLVC will determine the replacement value of the land. Compensation andResettlement package entitlements will be paid before contract awards are made.Acquisition, to the extent possible, will be timed after cropping season. In case thereremains a crop loan or any other outstanding loan taken on the land proposed foracquisition, if not repaid till the time of acquisition, a portion will be deducted from the totalcompensation, and the rest will be settled in a phased-manner, in consultation with theAffected Persons.29. Payment of land price and other approved package of assistance will be made to thetitleholder through the issuance of a bank cheque to ensure a transparent disbursementprocess. The cheque will be issued by the DC, after the Hospet ULB deposits the amountwith the DC.B. Income Restoration30. APs affected by permanent land acquisition for the proposed STP site have beenidentified. The Investment Program will provide The 11 affected household’ssubsistence/transitional allowance for three months based on minimum wages and willprovide free transport facilities/shifting assistance. Since all the land to be acquired from theAPs is a source of income, APs will be provided assistance for lost income based on threemonths minimum wage rates, and provided skill training for project employment. Land isproposed for acquisition during the non cropping season or post harvest, to minimize thenegative economic impacts on APs.31. The survey identified 3 landowners as vulnerable households (Female Headed) atthe proposed STP site as these landowners have a small agricultural land holding which is amain source of income to the family of household size of 7. These vulnerable APs willreceive an additional subsistence allowance for three months based on minimum wages. Afew of these APs have been consulted during the socio-economic survey. The Hospet ULBwill identify if land-for-land compensation is feasible, and if feasible will provide the option toAPs. Implementing NGOs will also provide information to vulnerable as well as nonvulnerablehouseholds on available land in the community. Should APs acquire replacementland; the Hospet ULB will provide all fees, taxes, and other charges incurred for thereplacement land. If the AP decides on replacement land, an income restoration strategy willfocus on restoring agricultural activity previously undertaken by the AP, and assistance inproductivity improvements (such as provision of agricultural inputs required for improvedyields, and training on improved post-harvest practices) production. Vulnerable APs andthose losing total source of livelihood are entitled to additional skills training. Based onconsultation with the vulnerable APs skills training will be provided for upgradingconstruction skills. During the survey Landowners were not prepared for acquisition, hencehave not stated options under non land based income restoration. The Investment Programwill provide the required equipments under stated options, while the implementing NGO willprovide the training to upgrade the skills. In addition, the Investment Program will facilitatethe employment of the vulnerable household heads in Investment Program construction.Span Consultants Pvt. Ltd in association with Ramky Infra Consultants Pvt. Ltd 24

KUIDFC-NKUSIPResettlement Plan- Hospet town32. APs for other components of the sub-project which are anticipated to experiencetemporary impacts from laying of pipes and road improvement will be provided assistance inrestoring their income in accordance with the Entitlement Matrix. Income restorationschemes will be designed in consultation with APs. Income restoration schemes will betailored to the needs, capabilities and preferences of APs, and the absorptive capacity of thelocal economy.33. The Investment Program will provide APs with (i) subsistence/transitional allowance,and (ii) shifting assistance to restore the APs income in the very short-term. Beyond the veryshort-term, the Investment Program will restore the APs source of income prior to landacquisition, and/or increase existing sources of income.34. All APs will be given eligible for project employment with vulnerable householdsgiven priority. An additional subsistence allowance based on three months minimum wagerates to augment current livelihood. Assistance up to a maximum limit of Rs.30,000 will beprovided for the purchase of income generating assets. The implementing NGO will assistthe ULB in beneficiary identification and, purchasing income generating assets. Incomegenerating assets will be AP-specific. One member of each affected, vulnerable householdwho has the capacity and willingness to acquire a new set of skills would be eligible for skillstraining. The idea is to ensure that vulnerable households are not unfairly disadvantaged asa result of project intervention. A Detailed Training Plan will be prepared after the trainingneeds assessment.V. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK35. Effective Short Resettlement Plan preparation and implementation will be ensuredthrough coordination between Bellary District Authorities, the Hospet ULB as requisitioningauthority and the PMU. The Hospet ULB will have the responsibility of ensuring that SRPsare finalized and approved prior to award of contracts for the sub-project, and for monitoringany changes to project design, which may require re-evaluation of the need for andadequacy of the SRP.The Hospet ULB will hire an experienced NGO to assist in thepreparation and implementation of the SRP. The implementing NGO’s main activities willinclude AP counseling and encouraging productive utilization of compensation andrehabilitation grants. The Terms of Reference (ToR) for the implementing NGO will be given.The Hospet ULB will also designate the Tahsildar as RO to supervise and conduct internalmonitoring of the implementation work. The RO will be adequately supported by the DLVCin terms of all valuations, due diligence carried out on affected persons’ properties andEmpowered Committee decision on purchase/acquisition.36.
