1.1 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. In 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 I roads.
The development of the state roads hold high level of importance as Assam is not only the
gateway to the north eastern states but also provides regional interconnectivity. The National
Highways, State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDRs) of Assam get traffic flows from
the seven north eastern states. With limited rail connectivity due to the difficult terrain in the
region, most of the traffic, both passenger and goods use the roads in Assam. The condition of
the road network in Assam is poor and has suffered from years of neglect. The present condition
is the result of under-funding in road development, inadequate maintenance and frequent
damages due to recurrent floods. The total road network in the state is around 41,298 km, of
which only 20% are paved as compared to the national average of 58%. About 94% of the roads
are still single lane and about 40% of SH and MDRs have earth or gravel surface. Majority of the
roads have poor riding quality, weak pavements, inadequate capacity and no over bridges.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed ASRP includes two major components of 1) Road Improvements and 2) Asset
Management. The SUb-components of these have been discussed below:
Component 1: Road Improvement (about 95% of the project cost) including civil works for a
combination of road widening/upgrading and pavement rehabilitation/strengthening (within the
existing Right of Way (RoW)) of about 1200 km high priority core network roads including bridges
and road safety engineering measures).
The improvement works including pavement strengthening/rehabilitation and other improvements
within the existing RoW will be implemented under two Phases: Phase I covering 800 km of road
length and Phase II containing the remaining 400km. Further, the Phase-I will be implemented in
2 stages, out of which the Stage - I will cover a road length of 310 km. The details of the project
roads to be taken up in Stage - I is given in Table 1-1 and shown in Figure 1-1.

Component 2: Asset Management (about 5% of the project costs) to:
Develop and operationalize a simple Asset Management System (AMS).
Implement Annual Maintenance Plans (AMPs) for a primary core network - prepared through the
AMS and involving new/improved methods of execution of maintenance works.
Develop and implement an action plan to improve road transport services and operations.
Implement PWO's Institutional Development Action Plan to modernize and strengthen the PWO so that
it can better manage its road assets. The Plan includes development of a road sector policy/strategy,
development of a Road Management Act, revision of existing PWO code, strengthening of Road Board
functions, and measures to increase PWO's staff capacity/productivity.
The GoA will fund the maintenance works under the AMPs through its maintenance funds
1.3 NEED FOR AN INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Assam, with a Scheduled Tribe (ST) population of 12 % of the state population (in 2001) includes
several pockets inhabited by indigenous communities who are perhaps the most vulnerable
sections of the society. The project corridor passes through some of the tribal dominated areas.
The designs for the ASRP corridors have been worked out within the available RoW to minimize
land acquisition and resettlement impacts. However, there are few stretches where private land
and structure acquisition has been necessitated due to non-availability of sufficient widths to
accommodate the proposed cross section and need for improvement of road geometry. The road
improvement in tribal areas requires minor land acquisition, and involves impact on 61 Project
Affected Households (PAHs) belonging to ST losing structures and 15 agricultural land parcels.
Consultations with these communities and information on these PAHs based on the socio-
economic surveys carried out indicate that the social and economic characteristics of these ST
PAHs are similar to other categories of PAHPs. To ensure that these PAHs are not adversely
impacted due to the proposed project interventions, this IPDP has been prepared in line with the
national, state and World Bank safeguard policies. The principal objectives of IPDP are to:
Ensure that the project engages in free, prior and informed consultation with IPs;
Ensure that project benefits are accessible to the indigenous community living in the project area;
Avoid any kind of adverse impact on the indigenous community to the extent possible and if
unavoidable ensure that adverse impacts are minimized and mitigated;
Ensure IP participation in the entire process of preparation, implementation and monitoring of project;
Minimize further social and economic imbalances within communities; and
Develop appropriate training I income generation activities in accordance to their own defined needsn
and priorities.

This chapter presents the existing acts, rules and policies related to land acquisition and
resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of IPs at the state and national level. It also identifies the
Indian constitutional safeguards and the World Bank safeguard policies on involuntary
resettlement of IPs and their relevance to the project and highlights the special provisions made
for the Indigenous PAPs in the entitlement matrix as per the ASRRRP, 2004.
2.1 EXISTING ACTS AND POLICIES RELEVANT TO THE IPDP
The existing legislations and policies applicable to the IPDP include:
Assam State Roads Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy (ASRRRP), 2004;
National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy (NRRP),2007;
World Bank Operation Policy (OP) 4.10
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002;
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989;
The Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955; and
The Scheduled Tribes (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act 2005;
2.1.1 Assam State Roads Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2004
The Government of Assam (GoA) has enacted Assam State Roads Resettlement and
Rehabilitation Policy (ASRRRP), 2004. The policy has been prepared for the management and
mitigation of impacts arising due to road improvement projects. The policy broadly covers the
issues related to land acquisition, displacements, compensation, resettlement assistances to the
project affected persons, institutional arrangement for implementation and grievance redressal
mechanism.
The entitlement matrix prepared for the R&R as the ASRRRP does not provide for special
assistance to the tribal PAPs/PAH/Community under the vulnerable category. However,
provisions for special assistance to the tribal communities under the ASRP have been outlined
based on the NRRP and the World Bank OP 4.10.
2.1.2 National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007
The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP) provides guidelines and
execution instructions applicable to all projects. It provides that the basic minimum requirements
of projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and
resettlement issues comprehensively. The special assistance for the tribal community as per the
NRRP are:
Each affected family belonging to ST shall be given preference in allotment of land-for-Iand, provided
government land is available;
Each ST AF shall get an additional one-time financial assistance equivalent to 500 days minimum
agricultural wages for loss of customary rights/usages of forest produce;
Tribal AFs will be re-settled in the same Scheduled Area in a compact block so that they can retain
their ethnic, linguistic and cultural identity subject to availability of Government land;
Settlements predominantly inhabited by tribals shall get land free of cost for community and religious
gatherings;
Tribal land alienated in violation of the laws and regulations in force on the subject will be treated as
null and void. R&R benefits will be available only to the original tribal land owner; and
2-1
PWD, Government of Assam NOVEMBER,2011
Tribal AFs enjoying reservation benefits in the affected zone shall be entitled to get the reservation
benefits at the resettlement zone.
2.1.3 World Bank OP 4.10
The World Bank defines Indigenous Peoples (IPs) by the following criteria:
Self-identification as members of a distinct indigenous cultural group and recognition of this identity by
others;
Collective attachment to geographically distinct habitats or ancestral territories in the project area and
to the natural resources in these habitats and territories;
Customary cultural, economic, social, or political institutions that are separate from those of the
dominant society and culture;
An indigenous language, often different from the official language of the country or region; and
Identification by the Borrower Country as an Indigenous Group.
Operational Policy 4.10 ensures that indigenous population benefits from development projects
and those projects' potentially adverse effects are avoided or mitigated.
2.1.4 Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 2002
The Act provides for inclusion of certain tribes or tribal communities or parts of or groups within
tribes or tribal communities, equivalent names or synonyms of such tribes or communities in the
list of Scheduled Tribes; removal of area restrictions and bifurcation and clubbing of entries;
imposition of area restriction in respect of certain castes in the lists of Scheduled Castes, and the
exclusion of certain castes and tribes from the lists of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The communities classified as Scheduled Castes or Scheduled tribes are given as
Annexure 2-1.
2.1.5 Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989
This Act prevents the commission of offences or atrocities qgainst members of the STs and SCs
and provides for a special court for the trial of offences against them. It also provides for the relief
and rehabilitation of victims of such offences.
2.1.6 The Protection of Civil Rights Act (1955)
This Act prescribes punishment for the preaching and practice of "untouchability" and/or
enforcement of any disability arising there from for matters connected therewith.
2.1.7 The Scheduled Tribes (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2005
The Act has been framed to recognise and vest the forest rights, occupation in forest land, in
forest dwelling, the STs who have been residing in such forests for generations but whose rights
could not be recorded; to provide for a framework for recording the forest rights so vested and
the nature of evidence required for such recognition and vesting in respect of forest land.
This policy recognises that a majority of STs continue to live below the poverty line, have poor
literacy rates, suffer from malnutrition and diseases and are vulnerable to displacement and thus
the policy aims at addressing each of these problems in a concrete way. It also lists out
measures to be taken to preserve and promote tribal cultural heritage.
The main objective is to facilitate the overall development and welfare of the tribal people by
empowering them socially, economically and politically without any impact on their culture,
habitation and tradition and in terms of their age old rights and privileges.

3 SOCIO ECOIiOIlIC PlORLE
This chapter presents a profile of the various scheduled tribes in Assam, their characteristics,
livelihood and institutional structures. The profile of the ST PAPs in the project area has been
worked out based on an analysis of the baseline socio-economic characteristics gathered as part
of the socio economic surveys.
3.1 PROFILE OF THE SCHEDULE TRIBES IN ASSAM
3.1.1 ST Population in Assam
As per the 2001 census, the total population of Assam is 26,655,528 out of which 12% of the
population belongs to STs (Table 3-1). The major tribes are Bodos, Rabhas, Karbis, Barmans,
Deoris, Lalungs, Kacharis, Kukis and Miris. Other tribes with very little population include Garos,
Hajongs, Hmars, Nagas, Mech and Jaintias.

The list of STS of Assam as identified by GoA and prepared under the Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment), Act 2002 is presented in Annexure 2-1.
3.1.2 Scheduled Tribes in the Project State
The STs along the project corridors belong to the following tribes Bodo-Kacharis, Rabhhas,
Tiwas and Miris or Mising. The main characteristics and features of these tribal communities
have been discussed below.
3.1.2.1 The Bodo - Kacharis
Bodos are concentrated mainly in the districts of Kokrajhar, Udalguri and the northern belt of the
districts of Bongaigaon, Barpeta, Nalbari, Kamrup and Darrang. According to 1991 census, there
were 1.2 million Bodos in Assam which makes about 5.3% of the total population of the state.
Livelihood
Their livelihood source is predominantly agriculture. Rice is the staple food of the Bodo people
and they are in all likelihood the first cultivators of rice in India. They are the pioneers in
introducing rearing of silk worms as well as spinning and weaving of silk clothes in India. No
Bodo household is complete without a loom. They are the ones who introduced the technique of
food production by plant cultivation and domestication of animals in the North East. They are
experts in constructing irrigation canals and earthwork embankments for diverting water from
river beds into their rice fields.
Language
The Bodo language is a branch of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages and a language under
the Assam-Burmese group of languages. In earlier times it had its own script called the Deodhai
which is no more in existence today. At present they use the Devanagiri script. The Bodo
3-1
NOVEMBER, 2011
language was declared as one of the associate official languages of Assam by an Ordinance
issued on 28th Dec, 1984 and is used in the districts of Kokrajhar, Udalguri, Baksa and Chirang.
Political System
After a decade long agitation, the Bodos were granted permission for formation of The Bodoland
Territorial Council (BTC). The BTC WAS established according to the Memorandum of
Settlement of February 10, 2003 also known as the BTC Accord. The BTC has 12 electorate
members each looking after a specific area of control called somisthi. The area under the BTC
jurisdiction is called the Bodo Territorial Autonomous District (BTAD). The BTAD was created
under the sixth schedule of the Constitution of India and consist of four contiguous districts-
Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri and Chirang-carved out of eight existing districts-Dhubri,
Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Barpeta, Nalbari, Kamrup, Darrang and Sonitpur-an area of 27,100 km2
(35% of Assam). The BTC accord facilitates for an Executive Council with adequate political
power. The council has 46 members (out of which 40 are elected and remaining six are
nominated by the government).
3.1.2.2 The Rabhas
Rabhas are one of the nine STs and the fourth largest tribe in the plains districts of Assam. They
belong to the Indo-Mongoloid group of people speaking Tibeto-Burman languages. The Rabhas
are ramified into three groups mainly - The Patir, the Rangdania and the Maitoria. The Rabhas
are mainly found in the districts of Goalpara, Kamrup and Darrang.
Livelihood
The Rabha people earn their livelihood through agriculture. They also collect forest products like
herbs, firewood, bamboo etc. to meet their daily requirement. Handloom, textile and small scale
cottage industries are their other sources of income. The men are expert in cane and bamboo
crafts and they make various household items. The women are experts in both spinning and
weaving. These expertise are not only a secondary source of livelihood but also a part and parcel
of their material culture. With changing time the Rabhas are now also engaging in non-
agricultural activities like household Industries, construction work, trade and commerce, transport
and government services.
Language
The Rabhas generally speak the local Assamese and their Rabha dialect to a great extent. The
Rabha dialect, as stated by George Abraham Grierson, belongs to Bodo group of languages of
Assam-Burmese branch.
Political System
The Rabha Hasong Council Autonomous Council (RHCAC) was created to fulfill the longstanding
demands of the Rabha people of the area. The Council is governed by the Memorandum of
Settlement and Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council Act, 10lh March, 1995. It has its headquarter
at Dudhnoi town. The council was created for social, economic, educative, ethnic and cultural
development of the Rabha people. The jurisdiction of this council covers 779 villages as core
area except some parts of Matia, Balijana and Lakhipur revenue Circles and extends upto Rani
area of Kamrup district. It embraces almost the entire district of Goalpara.
The Council has village councils at the village level. Each village council consists of 10 elected
members out of which 5 are from Rabha Community. Out of the 5 reserved seats one is reserved
for a woman member. The general council has 40 members out of which 4 are nominated by the
government.

3.1.2.3 The Tiwas
NOVEMBER,2011
Tiwas are recognized as a ST only within Assam. A striking peculiarity of the Tiwas is their
division into two sub-groups Hill Tiwas and Plain Tiwas, displaying very contrasting cultural
features, The Hill Tiwas live in the westernmost areas of Karbi-Anglong (Assam). Plain Tiwas live
on the flat lands of the southern bank of the Brahmaputra River, mostly in Morigaon and Nagaon
districts.
Livelihood
Their livelihood source is predominantly agriculture. Community hunting has fast disappeared
though community fishing is still prevalent on the occasion of Jonbeel Mela. Pigs and Fowls are
also reared by all Tiwas.
Language
The hill Tiwas speak a Tibeto-Burman language of the Bodo-Garo group called Tiwa language.
The vast majority of the plain Tiwas speak Assamese as their mother tongue. Tiwa language is
still spoken on the foothills and in rare villages of the plains,
Political System
Tiwa Autonomous Council (T AC) was established on 13
th
April, 1995 with the objective of giving
maximum autonomy under the framework of Constitution of India for overall socio-economic
development of the Tiwas. The TAC is governed by the Memorandum of Understanding and
Tiwa Council Act, 2005. The general council has 40 members out of which 4 are nominated by
GoA The Executive Council has the Chief Executive and Executive Councilors. The MP and
MLA belonging to ST reserved constituency of the council area are ex-officio members of the
general council.
3.1.2.4 The Misings or Miris
Second to the Bodos, the Misings are the largest ST of Assam. The Misings were known to the
outside world earlier as MIRI and included as such in the list of Scheduled Tribes (Plains) of
Assam, vide Constitution Order, 1950 [modified in 1956, and amended further through the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Amendment) Act, 1976], as well as in the census
reports, They are scattered in eight districts of Assam, viz. Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Dhemaji,
Lakhimpur, Sibsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat and Sonitpur but are concentrated mainly in the districts
of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur and Majuli subdivision of the Jorhat district.
Livelihood
Agriculture is the source of livelihood for Misings. The women contribute to the income of the
family by rearing pigs, fowls and, occaSionally, goats. They make almost all the tools required for
their day-to-day life, such as baskets, carry bags, trays, boxes, fish traps of various kinds,
hencoops, etc., using bamboo and cane as material. Community fishing is a winter affair among
the Misings. A small percentage of their population works in the public sector, small trading, etc.
as sources of income.
Language
The Misings are a close cognate of the Adis of Arunachal ethnically and culturally. In fact, the
first dictionary of the speeches of the Misings and the Adis, called A Dictionary of the Abor-Miri
Language CAbor-Miri' being the paleo-exonym for 'Adi-Mising'), treats them as a single speech
community. The Mising language does not have its own script.

Political System
The Mising Autonomous Council (MAC) was set up on June, 1995 to provide maximum
autonomy under the framework of Constitution of India for social, economic, educational, ethnic,
cultural advancement of Mising people in the State. The MAC has 1245 villages in its core areas
and 366 villages as satellite area. It is governed by Memorandum of Settlement and the Mising
Autonomous Council Act, 1995. The general council has 40 members out of which 4 are
nominated by the GoA. The Executive Council consists of the Chief Executive and Executive
Councillors. The MP and MLA belonging to ST reserved constituency of the Council area are ex-
officio members of the general council.
3.2 PROFILE OF STs IN THE PROJECT DISTRICTS
Table 3-2 presents the concentration of ST in the project districts as per 2001 census. The ST
population is highest in the district of Dhemaji where almost half (47.29%) the population belongs
to ST, followed by Lakhimpur district (23.49%). Other districts with high ST population are
Goalpara, Morigaon, Jorhat and Bongaigaon.

3.2.2 Livelihood and Economic Activities
More than 80% of the STs in the project area earn their livelihood through agriculture. They
undertake cultivation of both Ahu and Sali rice along with some pulses, mustard seeds and jute.
They also collect forest products like herbs, firewood, bamboo etc to meet their daily
requirement. Handloom, textile and small scale cottage industries are their other sources of
income. The men are experts in cane and bamboo crafts and they make various household
items. The women are experts in both spinning and weaving.
With changing time, the tribal people are now engaging in non agricultural activities like
household industries, construction work, trade and commerce, transport and government
services.
3.2.3 Main Tribes in the Project Districts
In the districts of Barpeta, Bongaigaon, Jorhat and Sonitpur Bodo-Kacharis are the main tribes
(Table 3-4) Rabhas, Hajongs, Bodo-Kacharis and Garos constitute the ST population of
Goalpara. Nagaon and Marigaon districts have STs belonging to the Tiwa tribe also called
Lalungs.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
The land acquisition for the proposed project will follow provisions of LA Act 1894 (amended in
1984). All the PAPs available on the date of jOint verification will be eligible for entitlements in
accordance with the R&R policy provisions. The list of entitled persons will be made available for
verification in office of the Divisional Engineer (Highway), ASRP. Any further encroachment into
the Corridor of Impact will be prevented through regular monitoring by Assistant Executive
Engineers of the project in co-ordination with the Executive Engineer.
This chapter discusses the magnitude of land acquisition and the extent and magnitude of
impacts due to the acquisition.
4.2 MAGNITUDE OF LAND ACQUISITION
The investigations and census surveys were conducted within 15.0m in the settlement areas and
24.0m to 30.0 in rural areas, i.e. area required for construction and additional 2.0m from toe line
for utilities.
The total land to be acquired for the stage-1 roads of the project is 42.32 ha of which 0.603 ha
belongs to the STs. The land to be acquired has been classified according to its present use into
commercial, residential and agriculture/dry lands (Table 4-1).

6.3 SELF HELP GROUP AMONG ST WOMEN
The NGO selected for the implementation of R&R will initiate the process of identifying the
interested ST women PAPs for forming the SHGs. The women SHGs will be formed among the
PAPs as per the norms formulated by the Central/State Government/the financial institutions.

where the number of persons are less than the minimum number required for forming a group,
they will be merged with nearest women group. The skill development programme and financial
assistance will be distributed through the SHGs.
6.4 CONSULTATION STRATEGY
Consultations were specifically carried out with the ST families in order to understand their
concerns and integrate them within the RAP apart from obtaining data related to extent of
adverse impacts and loss of assets (through census survey). The consultation with the ST PAPs
was carried at community and individual levels for identification of the ST PAPs and their issues
by the consultant and PWD officials during the design stage.
Individual Consultation: The ST PAPs were consulted during the census survey. The details of
the project and their impacts on their assets were informed to ST PAPs. The discussion was held
in Assamese. The provisions of the RAP and IPDP entitlements were discussed. The PAPs were
in support of the project and requested for adequate compensation for the loss of assets.
Community Consultation: The ST households along the project corridor are not concentrated
in a particular area/village i.e., they do not live in a specified territory. It was therefore, ensured
that the village level consultations carried out included representatives from the ST community,
who could voice their concerns and issues. ST PAPs were consulted and briefed about the R&R
policy and the entitlement packages. The corridor wise consultations and the number of
participants belonging to ST community during the meeting are presented in below Table 6-2.
During the consultation, there was no opposition from the participants belonging to the ST
community. The participants welcomed the project. The consultation proceedings took place in
local language Assamese.

The consultations were organized at the community level for each project road in Stage-1. All the participants were informed in advance about the
date, venue and time of the consultation. All proceedings of the consultations were in Assamese by the project preparation support team and PIU
officials. This helped the community to express their views easily on the project issues. Alongside the community consultations with the ST families,
specific roles and responsibilities were identified for other stakeholders so that they can ensure a) involvement of STs in project planning and
preparation; and b) inclusion of their specific concerns within the RAP and its implementation process. Table 6-5 presents the roles and
responsibilities of different stakeholders for addressing the issues of ST people.

1 IIiDIGEIIIUS PEIPlES MUlGEMEIII FIIII_RI
The Indigenous People Management Framework (IPMF) has been prepared to facilitate the
preparation of IPDP for the project roads to be subsequently taken under ASRP.
7.1 OBJECTIVES
This framework is based on World Bank's operational policy 4.10. The principal objectives of the
framework are to:
ensure that project engages in free, prior and informed consultation with the indigenous community
wherever they are affected;
ensure that project benefits are accessible to the indigenous community living in the project area;
avoid any kind of adverse impact on the indigenous community to the extent possible and if
unavoidable ensure that adverse impacts are minimized and mitigated;
ensure indigenous peoples participation in the entire process of preparation, implementation and
monitoring of the sub project activities;
minimize further social and economic imbalances within communities; and
develop appropriate training I income generation activities in accordance to their own defined needs
and priorities.
The need for an IPDP will be established on the basis of the following criteria: (i) adverse
impacts on customary rights of use and access to land and natural resources; (ii) negative
impacts on socio-economic and cultural identity; (iii) impacts on health, education, livelihood and
social security status; (iv) any other impacts that may alter or undermine indigenous knowledge
and customary institutions.
7.2 PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING AN IPDP
In order to prepare an IPDP, the following steps will be taken:
Social screening to establish the presence of tribes in the project area or have collective attachment to
the project area;
based on a detailed social assessments establish baseline data on the ST people (subsistence,
employment. community networks) in the project area;
review Acts I policy guidelines applicable in the respective states regarding tribal groups and also the
central Acts I Policies;
identify the impacts (both positive and negative) and prepare an IPDP; and
disclose the draft IPDP.
7.2.1 Screening
During the planning and design phase of the road corridors. screening survey will be carried out
based on group discussion with the communities in the sub project area in order to identify
presence of any tribal group or any such group that have collective attachment to the project
area. Apart from the consultation with the community members, consultations I in depth
interviews will also be carried out with the NGOs working in the area and representative of local
self government. The screening will take into account the details of tribal households, assessing
the number of such households along the zone of influence of the proposed sub project. If the
result shows that there are tribal households, the issues related to the community will be included
in the social impact assessment (SIA) survey.
7-1
PWD, Gavernment of Assam
NOVEMBER,2011
7.2.2 Social Impact Assessment
The PWD will be responsible for conducting SIA and the development of an action plan with the
help of indigenous community and organizations working for them. The SIA will gather relevant
information on demographic, social, cultural, economic and networking aspects of each
household and needs of the community as a whole. The information on individual household will
be collected through household survey where as community based needs will be assessed
through group discussions with the community as a whole as well as in discussion with the
community leaders and government and non -governmental officials working in the area on tribal
issues. The discussion will focus on both positive and negative impacts of the sub project. The
suggestion and feedback of the community on the design and planning of the sub project will
also be documented.
7.2.3 Entitlements for ST PAPs
Based on the Operational Policy 4.10 of the World Bank and as one of its significant R&R
requirements; special provisions for the Scheduled Tribes (ST) has been made in the ASRP R&R
Policy (apart from the general compensation and assistance to be received as Project Affected
Persons (PAPs)/Project Affected Households (PAHs)) of this project for loss of assets. Section
4A of the ASRP R&R policy provides for such additional assistance to the ST and other
vulnerable groups.
7.2.4 Consultation, Disclosure and Institutional Framework
The PWD will prepare the IPDP, implement and monitor it. The IPDP will be implemented along
with the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). A local NGO with the relevant experience will be hired
to assist PWD in planning and implementing the IPDP. The NGO will be fully briefed on World
Bank's policy on IPs. IPDP committees will be formed at state and district level to implement and
monitor the plan.
The ST groups will be consulted in preparing the IPDP. They will be informed of the mitigation
measures proposed and their views will be taken into account in finalizing the plan. The plan will
be translated in the local language and made available to the affected people before
implementation.
The tribal institutions and organizations in the affected area will also be involved in implementing
the IPDP and in resolving any disputes that may arise. PWD will ensure that adequate funds are
made available for the plan.
7.2.5 Monitoring and Evaluation
The PWD will set up an internal monitoring system comprising its own staff, NGOs, ST people
and their institutions to monitor plan implementation. Monitoring indicators will be established. In
addition, an external independent monitoring agency will be employed by PWD. Reporting
formats will be prepared for both internal and external monitoring.
7.3 SUGGESTED FORMAT FOR IPDP
The suggested format for the IPDP is as follows
Description of sub projects and implications for the indigenous community;
Gender disaggregated data on number of ST households by impact category;
Social, cultural and economic profile of affected households;
Land tenure information;
7-2
NOVEMBER,2011
Documentation of consultations with the community to ascertain their views about the project design
and mitigation measures;
Findings of need assessment of the community;
Community development plan based on the results of need assessment;
Modalities to ensure regular and meaningful consultation with the community;
Institutional arrangement and linkage with other national or state level programmes;
Institutional mechanism for monitoring and evaluation of IPDP implementation and grievance redress;
and
Implementation schedule and cost estimate for implementation.
7.4 KEY ELEMENTS OF IPDPAND PARTICIPATORY APPROACH
The key elements of an IPDP include:
All development plans for IPs shall be based on full consideration of the options and approaches that
best meet the interests of the communities;
Scope and impact be assessed and appropriate mitigation measures are identified;
Project shall take into account the social and cultural context of affected peoples and their skills and
knowledge relating to local resource management;
During project preparation, formation and strengthening of indigenous peoples organization;
communication to facilitate their participation in project identification, planning, execution and
evaluation shall be promoted; and
In case PWD is not capable of preparing and implementing IPDP, experienced community
organizations I NGOs can be involved as intermediaries.
Participatory Approach for Preparation of IPDP
The main thrust of IPDP is to address the developmental issues of the project taking into
consideration the marginal status of ST community. The IPDP will offer developmental options
addressing community based needs of IPs while respecting their socio-cultural distinctiveness.
The IPDP aims at strengthening the existing capacity of the affected ST community. The strategy
of IPDP therefore, will be to promote participation of the ST people, initiating and identifying their
need, priorities and preferences through participatory approaches. Therefore, the action plan for
a particular village will be prepared by the community themselves on an yearly basis.
Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) initiates the process of people's partiCipation, facilitating
decision-making through mutual discussion and direct consultation. Participatory approach is
intended to promote participation of all stakeholders creating development opportunities for the
affected community. It is therefore, mandatory that appropriate PRA tools along with Focus
Group Discussion (FGD) is employed to initiate participation in IPDP for collection of qualitative
data. The areas of enquiry will mainly include:
Identification of ST groups;
Access to natural resources, likely impact on land ownership and land distribution, share cropping and
lease holder;
Participation in the livelihood security component of the project;
Employment and income generating opportunities in agriculture, trade and business and services;
Poverty;
Women and Gender relation; and
Felt needs and community organization.
With a view to assess the life patterns of the affected indigenous population and to prepare IPDP
in consistent with community and region specific background, pertinent baseline information shall
be collected, compiled and analyzed. The baseline information on socio-economic characteristics
including land tenure, land holding categories, occupational pattern, usual activity status, income
7-3
NOVEMBER. 2011
- expenditure pattern, access to natural resources, health status, literacy level, age structure,
gender, marital status, etc shall be collected in order to facilitate the planning process. The
baseline data shall be collected through pre-tested structured schedules.
The most important component of IPDP is to assess the type and magnitude of impacts, both
positive and negative on the ST communities, The assessment of impacts on ST population in
the projects shall focus on the probable consequences of the project according to specific criteria
I indicators. The indicators may include:
Access to natural resources (such as forest, grazing land, weekly markets, etc.);
Job opportunities through wage labour within or outside agriculture;
Employment and income generating opportunities in agriculture, trades, services and business;
ST community rights, institutions, values and way of life;
Social infrastructure and public services such as sources of water, health facilities, schools, etc;
Reduction in political power, marginalisation and social disarticulation; and
Changes in farming methods, cropping pattern, crop yield, income, expenditure pattern, etc.
One major activity during the course of the survey will be to identify, various community specific
developmental needs linked to their socio-economic and cultural life. The needs shall be
identified for infrastructure development and community service facilities such as weekly
markets, drinking water facility, sanitation, health facility, schools, community halls, post office,
watershed structure, drainage, etc;
7.5 IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES AND STRATEGY
It is envisaged that proper implementation of IPDP is possible only through community
participation. The participatory approach will ensure:
Promotion of community concern and involvement;
Proper organization and management of resources;
Setting up of criteria and fixing criteria and procedures for project execution are done at the grass root
level; and
Identification, selection and strengthening of implementing agency at the grass roots level.
Steps will be taken to ensure that (i) ST community participates in the project, (ii) is fully aware of
their rights and responsibilities; and (iii) are able to voice their needs during IPDP preparation.
The community will be encouraged to prepare their own plan that caters to their needs.
Appropriate people's organization and forum need to be built and strengthened to ensure
effective peoples representation and empowerment in the process of selection of specific
community development activities and their execution. The conventional top down approach to
project implementation through prevailing bureaucratic framework needs to be reoriented for the
framework of participative administrative structure to respond to bottom up initiatives based on
participatory process for informed community participation and empowerment.
IPDP as a means of sustainable development is based on the strategy of using culturally
appropriate, socially acceptable and economically viable opportunities for livelihood of the ST
community including farmers, agriculture and non-agriculture labour, women and wage earners.
The strategy includes:
Participation of ST community in plan preparation, formulation and implementation by strengthening
their existing social, political and community organizations through required legislative measures,
positive administrative responses and people's mobilization.
7-4
NOVEMBER, 2011
Strengthening women's traditional role in subsistence economy through organization, capacity building
for leadership and skills improvement, access to non timber forest produce (NTFP), while bringing
about greater sharing of household responsibilities between men and women.
Keeping in view the strong bondage of the ST community with land and forest, subsistence practices,
traditional culture and ways of life, the strategy may create space for innovative policy measures
through appropriate legislation I executive actions. Such innovative policy responses may cover any
aspect of their needs from food security, income generating activities, right over forest produce,
community health measures or any such issue as generated by the community in course of their
participation in the plan process.
Involvement of NGOs as an interface between the government and the ST community to "bind" and
strengthen their organizations, develop a mechanism for redress of grievances and facilitate their being
a "stakeholder" in the institutional arrangements for IPDP.
To ensure the right institutional mechanism for this strategy, IPDP will be integrated with the existing
structures of ITDP/DRDA wherever necessary.
NGOs are "secondary stakeholders" who can facilitate the participation of "primary stakeholders"-
the ST community. The NGOs must have a clear understanding of the socio-economic, cultural
and environmental context of the project.
The social and community organizations of ST population will be identified to strengthen and
involve them in participatory process of IPDP. The IPDP will develop a linkage with the structure
and the process of ST development administration so that the ST communities can enjoy more
benefits. The NGOs will also provide the important interface between ST administration and the
community.
7.6 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPLEMENTATION
Areas with significant ST population have been covered under Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) approach
from the beginning of the Fifth Plan. Scattered but yet significant tribal population has been
covered under Modified Areas Development Approach (MADA) pockets and clusters. Where
there is a population of 10,000 of whom 50% are tribal, MADA pockets have been created and
where there is 5000 living and of whom 50% are tribal, MADA clusters have been created. The
TSP/ITDP is administered by the block administration and line departments. TSP approach was
adopted primarily for (i) promotion of developmental activities to enhance living standards of
scheduled tribes; and (ii) protection of their interest through legal and administrative support.
At the state level Tribal Development Department headed by a Secretary and assisted by
Commissioner / Special Secretary, Tribal Development will be the nodal agency. The
Commissioner! Special Secretary will be further assisted by Director! Deputy Secretary; Deputy
Director I Under Secretary. At the Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) level, there is a
full time Project Administrator of the Joint Director cadre. An Assistant Project Administrator
assists the Project Administrator. The work of ITDP is multi-disciplinary in nature and it functions
as a nodal agency for planning, formulation, implementation and monitoring of tribal development
programmes. The Project Administrator is empowered with adequate administrative and financial
powers so that they function as watch dog to schemes and programmes implemented by ITDP.
The ITDP keeps constant vigil in protecting the tribal against exploitation in addition to various
development programmes.
7.6.1 Implementation Committee (District Level)
The most crucial level for approval of IPDP programme, its review and implementation will be the
district level. At district level a committee will be formed under the chairmanship of District
Collector. The Block Development Officer (BDO)/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will be the
member secretary. Project Administrator, ITDP (as member secretary), representative of project
EA & SAfar Assam State Roads Project INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DEVELOPMENT PLAN
authority (as convener), two tribal representatives from the project area, and NGO representative
will be the members of the committee. In the participatory structure contemplated in the IPDP
framework, NGOs will be responsible for productive group activities and other small community
project which are innovative and essentially rest on people's participation. The plan though will
be prepared by the village level committee; the implementation committee will be responsible for
approval of the plan.
7.6.2 Village Level Committee
For a fully participatory framework, it is contemplated that at the village level, with the help of
NGOs, a village level committee (VLC) will be formed which will include representation from tribal
and also non tribal families, leader of the tribal community (as member secretary), other opinion
leaders of the village like school teacher, community worker, panchayat member, doctor, etc.
The committee will have at least 15 members with substantial representation of women member
(preferably 33%). The representative from the executing agency will be the convener of the
committee. The committee will list out the needs of the community and prepare village level
action plan for a particular year. The NGO will facilitate plan preparation and interact in group
meetings with the tribal community and will also assist in preparing the plan and minutes of every
meeting.
The VLC will be fully associated in programme supervision and execution. The NGO or
BOO/CEO will ensure that the VLC has all requisite information flow on programme contents and
funds. Technical support in form of village level orientation will be provided under IPDP with
active intervention of NGOs. The VLC will ensure full participation of villagers in the labour force
in work programmes under IPDP. Equal wages will be paid for equal work under IPDP. Local
level inputs and expertise to the extent feasible will be focused on.
7.6.3 NGO Participation
The NGO will ensure that the due benefits flow to the tribal in the most effective and transparent
manner. The success of the NGO inputs will largely depend on their liaison with the tribal and
other concerned government agencies involved in IPDP. Other involved agencies are expected
to collaborate with Project, based on instructions from the PWD, in accordance with the policy
framework. These arrangements have to be made during the first month of Project
implementation in order to set up the various committees and implementation mechanisms
required for the project. The role of NGO will be of a facilitator. The NGO will work as an interface
between the PWD and the tribal community. They will train/ orient the tribal community on
planning, formulation, preparation and execution of annual action plan.
7.6.4 Selection of NGO
It is extremely important for successful implementation of IPDP to select a genuine and capable
NGO committed to the tasks assigned. Key quality criteria include:
Experience in direct implementation of programs in local, similar and/or neighboring districts;
Availability of trained staff capable of including tribal community into their programs;
Competence, transparency and accountability based on neutral evaluations, internal reports, and
audited accounts;
Integrity to represent vulnerable groups against abuses; experience in representing vulnerable groups,
demonstrable mandate to represent local groups; and
Shall have a clear understanding of gender and poverty relations within the community of tribals and
have the ability to pay particular attention to the social and economic needs of women and tribes.
7-6
7.6.5 Consultation and Disclosure
NOVEMBER. ZOll
The tribal groups will be consulted in preparing the IPDP. They will be informed of the mitigation
measures proposed and their views will be taken into account in finalizing the plan. The plan will
be translated into the local language and made available to the affected people before
implementation. The tribal institutions and organizations in the affected area will also be involved
in implementing the IPDP and in resolving any disputes that may arise. The PWD will ensure that
adequate funds are made available for the plan.
7.6.6 Monitoring and Evaluation
7.6.6.1 Need for Monitoring
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) are critical activities in developmental activity I programme in
order to ameliorate problems faced by the implementers and develop solutions immediately.
Monitoring is a periodic assessment of planned activities providing midway inputs for facilitating
changes and giving necessary feedback of activities and the directions on which they are going,
whereas evaluation is a summing up activity at the end of the project assessing whether the
activities have actually achieved their intended goals and purposes. The M&E mechanism will
measure project performance and fulfillment of the project objectives.
The PWD with the help of the NGO will carry out internal monitoring. NGO will be thoroughly
briefed about the Bank's Policy on IPs. An external agency will be engaged to monitor and
proactively evaluate the IPDP objectives. The external agency will submit monthly progress
reports and will also be responsible for midterm and end term evaluation. Broadly, monitoring
and evaluation system will involve:
Administrative monitoring: daily planning, implementation, trouble shooting, feedback and trouble
shooting. individual village file maintaining, progress reports
Socio-economic monitoring: case studies, using baseline information for comparing the socio-
economic conditions, morbidity & mortality, communal harmony, dates for consultations, employment
opportunities, etc.
Impact evaluation monitoring: living standards improved access to natural resources, better bargaining
power in the society, etc.

Annexure 6-2: HIRING OF NGO'S SERVICES FOR ASSAM STATE ROADS PROJECT
TERMS OF REFERENCE
1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
The Government of India has requested the assistance of the World Bank for the improvement of
State Highways and Major District Roads in the State of Assam. The aim of the Assam State
Roads Project is to improve the performance of the State's road transport sector. The project will
improve road conditions and capacity of the state road network along with development of in
house capabilities of the Public Works Department (PWD) to plan, develop and maintain the
Assam road network.
The roads to be developed have been selected from those identified for improvement/heavy
periodic maintenance under a strategic option study (SOS) for state highways. Civil works for a
combination of road widening/upgrading and pavement rehabilitation/strengthening (within the
existing Right of Way (RoW)) of about 1200 km high priority core network roads including bridges
and road safety engineering measures. The project will be taken up in phases, and the first
phase covers about 300km. Map of the Project roads (Phase I) is given in Appendix 1.
Most of the road improvements will be confined to public land Le. the existing Right of Way
(ROW) which is controlled by the PWD. However, road improvements include realignment of the
road at some locations, which will involve expropriation of land from the current owners/users.
The project improvement will also necessitate the eviction of squatters and removal for
agricultural encroachments from within the RoW. Expropriation of land, eviction of squatters and
removal of agricultural encroachments may cause social disruption and economic loss for project
affected persons (PAPs) and their families. It is therefore important that disturbances and losses
of PAPs due to project are minimized through proper planning.
It is against this background that PWD has carried out a social assessment of Project Affected
persons (PAPs) on 500 kms of project roads under Phase-1 and prepared a Resettlement Action
Plan (RAP). The encroachers and title holders of various types of properties were identified in the
social assessment and a detailed Action Plans prepared for the resettlement and rehabilitation of
displaced persons. The R&R policy containing entitlement packages for various categories of
PAPs was prepared and approved by the GoA. To keep the negative impact to a minimum
various measures were undertaken such as redesigning of project roads where large numbers of
people are likely to be affected and avoidance of common properties from possible impact.
These measures have considerably reduced the number of affected families. An overview of the
potential impacts along the Project Roads is in Appendix 2. The RAP prepared fully complies
with the requirements of the Government of India and World Sank. Successful implementation of
the RAP is an important part of the overall project.
Assam PWD now invites the services of eligible NGOs under quality and cost based contracts to
assist with implementation of the RAP. 3 NGOs will be contracted to implement the RAP, for the
upper Assam, Lower Assam and Central Assam corridors.
