Introduction Project Background:

ADB Assisted North Karnataka Urban Investment Program (NKUSIP) is envisaged to

facilitate economic growth in 25 selected towns of North Karnataka and bring about urban

development by means of equitable distribution of urban services in an environmentally

sound and operationally sustainable manner. Tranche II improvements focus on rehabilitation

and construction of water supply, sewerage, and urban drainage infrastructure as well as slum

improvements and procurement of firefighting and emergency services equipment. Gokak

Sub-Projects include providing underground drainage system. The Investment Program is

designed to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts.

Need of the Sub-Project:

The North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program will finance investment in the sectors

of sewerage and sanitation. It will also have a poverty alleviation and non-municipal

infrastructure component.

The overall development goal of the NKUSIP is to facilitate economic growth in the towns of

North Karnataka and bring about urban development through equitable distribution of urban

basic services to the citizens, which are environmentally sound and operationally sustainable.

The development purpose is designed to assist Urban Local Body (ULB) to “promote good

urban management, by developing and expanding urban infrastructure that increases

economic opportunities and reduces vulnerability to environmental degradation and urban

poverty”.

The Investment Program is designed to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts.

Sub projects involving construction of sewerage treatment plant are planned that envisage

land acquisition in some towns, which is specific town. However, the land acquisition process

is facilitated in such a method that the negative impacts are avoided or minimized through

careful sub project sitting and alignment. The resettlement and rehabilitation plans are

prepared for providing compensation for land owners and rehabilitating them that cater to

sustainable development of the towns.

ADB Assisted KUIDFC-NKUSIP has selected Gokak ULB for providing sewerage and

sanitation system to citizens. The investment program is designed for the construction of

Sewerage Treatment Plant, Sewage Pumping Station & Wet Well.

1)Private land procurement through Direct Purchase for Construction of STP

Private land has been procured for the Sub-project through direct purchase from 5 land

owners for the purpose of construction of Sewage Treatment Plant. In this project there is no

involuntary resettlement involved and hence the preparation of RP for this project is not

required. The objective of this Due diligence report (DDR) is to review the Sub project land

acquisition and resettlement (LAR) impacts if any, based on the detailed design and propose

mitigation measures if, necessary in accordance with ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement

Policy, (IR)1995.

Prior to detailed design, the cadastral maps were examined to understand the ownership of

land. Verification of the cadastral maps was done in the field based on the survey and

measurement.

For the construction of the STP, 11.00 acres of land was required. After detailed negotiations

with the land owners the entire 11.00 acres was purchased and compensated the land owner

accordingly. This entire process was undertaken in consultation with the Revenue

department, the land owners and the representatives of the ULB (Urban Local Body) and

project officials. There are no Involuntary Resettlement Impacts on this subproject as land

2)Government land used for construction of Pumping Station and Wet Well

Government land has been used for the purpose of construction of Pumping Station and Wet

Well. For the Construction of Pumping Station and Wet Well , land has been identified in

Survey No. 137 & 138. Vacant Govt land was earmarked for implementing the projects.

The subproject will not entail any permanent land acquisition and resettlement. Site

assessment of the entire proposed areas, where works will be undertaken was taken up.

Based on it: there will be no expected impacts on private/public land, private properties like

housing, shops, commercial buildings, religious and community infrastructure. No negative

impacts on livelihood are envisaged. The proposed area is completely vacant and in

possession of CMC . There are no Non-Titled Holders in the earmarked land.

Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement


As mentioned earlier, the total land requirement for STP was 11.00 acres. After a series of

consultations the assessment of the compensation amount was arrived at after due

negotiations with the land owners, Project officials, ULB commissioner and Revenue

Department. The final amount was arrived at in the General Body meeting held at the ULB

office, presided by the CMC Commissioner at Gokak on 18.02.2010, proposal has been

verified and approved by the Under Secretary to Government, Govt of Karnataka, Govt. order

No.UDD 18 TMD 2010, Bengaluru, dated: 31.05.2010 (Annexure I- Proceedings of

increased access to sustainable urban infrastructure and services.

Extent of Impact


The land owners willingly agreed to sell their land of 11.00 acres to the CMC. Series of

meetings was held with land owner at CMC office presided by the Commissioner. Alongside,

the methodology of fixing the rates to be given to the land owner was decided through mutual

discussions with all parties concerned and was finalized in Govt. order No.UDD 18 TMD

2010, Bengaluru, dated: 31.05.2010. The land owners were given a compensation amount of

Rs. 45.65 Lakhs for 11.00 acres and the possession handed over to the CMC for further

action.


Since the construction of Pumping Station and Wet well is being undertaken in Government

land ,there is no negative impact on the community.

Indigenous Peoples

There will be no impact on Indigenous peoples (IPs). No Indigenous peoples Plan will be

needed for this sub-project. The sub project area does not have any tribal population and thus

there is no impact on their lives/livelihood.

Public Consultations


Regular consultations were held with the land owner on the process of purchase and the

compensation to be paid for the affected land parcel. These consultations were organized

regularly to ensure transparency in the process of land procurement and to ensure that no

coercion was involved in the entire process.

Findings


Land for the sub project was procured through direct purchase therein ensuring that the

principle of a willing buyer and willing seller was followed. The affected party got

appropriate compensation and land for the project was available quickly. Thus this process

prevented any delay in the execution of the sub project on account of unavailability of land.

The land owner was satisfied with the compensation amount and encountered no delay in the

receipt of payment as is generally observed in land acquisition cases. Hence this process

helped all the stakeholders in achieving their desired objectives.


The Subproject will not cause any permanent and/or temporary impacts as government land

is proposed to be used for construction of Pumping Station and Wet well. The land earmarked

is vacant, no common property resources are affected.
