1. Introduction and Project Description

1. The hydro power potential of Himachal Pradesh (HP) is about 27,436 MW, which is about

one-fourth of the total hydropower potential of India. The Government of Himachal Pradesh

(GoHP) in its Hydropower Policy (2007), has fixed its targets to harness the hydro power

with the goal to become the "hydropower state" of the country. The state's hydropower

policy includes development of infrastructure such as road access and transmission

interconnections to facilitate hydropower generation and its further evacuation to encourage

investment from the state, central government and private sectors. Majority of the

hydropower generation projects are run-off- the river type. Implementation of the hydro

policy will improve state financial health by earning revenue from supplying surplus power

to the National Grid. In addition to developing its hydropower resources, HP has to build out

its electric transmission infrastructure so that the additional power can be efficiently

transmitted within the state and exported to the national grid.

2. For improvement / strengthening of existing infrastructures and addition of new

infrastructure for effective power evacuation, the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP)

through the Government of India (GoI), has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB)

for a Multi-Tranche Financing Facility (MFF) to provide financial assistance to the power

sector investment program in the state. The investment program covers investments for

transmission of clean energy to National Grid of India by construction of pooling substations

and extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission lines. To implement this activity, Himachal

Pradesh Government has established Himachal Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation

Limited (HPPTCL) vide HP Government notification no. MPP-A (1)-4/2006-Loose dated

11th September, 2008 as the State Transmission Utility (STU).

3. The $350 million investments in the MFF to be supported by Asian Development Bank

(ADB), will contribute to support the economic development in HP through expanded power

supplies from clean energy sources, and support a sustainable state electricity sector in the

state. The Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Program (HPCETIP)

is expected to produce the following outcomes: (i) increase in availability of clean energy

downstream at pooling stations for effective power evacuation in a financially sustainable

manner, (ii) improvement of state finances and power sector financial viability from sales

revenue earned from power exports, (iii) improve sector governance, (iv) improve capacity

in HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited (HPPTCL) for better planning,

implementation and management of power evacuation infrastructure, and energy efficiency

through a better power management program, and (v) Improvement in standards of

environmental and social safeguards in the sector. With ADB support, the proposed

program will sustain the energy sector reform agenda, and is expected to help attract other

long-term financiers to the state.

4. The Tranche 1 sub-projects are located in Kinnaur, Mandi, Kangra and Shimla districts of

Himachal Pradesh, The Index Map giving the location of the different sub projects is

presented as Figure 1.

2. Purpose of the Report

5. The purpose of semi-annual social monitoring report (SMR) is to analyze periodically over

the total implementation period of the project to comply with the approved safeguard

documents

6. This report covers resettlement and social safeguard monitoring results to comply with the

spirit of ADB policy to ‘enhance stakeholders’ trust ‘in and ability to engage with ADB, and

thereby increase the development impact (of projects) in which disclosure of safeguard

monitoring is a prominent aspect. This report covers status of resettlement implementation

and addressing all the issues related with social safeguards, with reference to the progress

achieved and current status of reporting period.

7. This consolidated report outlines monitoring implementation of social safeguard activities

during August 2015 to December 2015 and January 2016 to June 2016 in accordance with

the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009.

3. Social Safeguards Categorization

8. The sub-projects under Loan 2794-IND (Tranche 1) do not have any significant involuntary

resettlement impacts and the project overall has been categorized as ‘B’ for involuntary

resettlement and ‘C’ for Indigenous People (IP) in accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard

Policy Statement (SPS), 2009, which applies to this project.

4. Sub-projects under HPCETIP (Loan 2794- IND) Tranche1

9. The Tranche 1 comprises of six sub-projects (five substations and one transmission line

29.13 km long) The list of the sub-projects under HPCETIP (Loan 2794-IND) along with

their scope, IR impact, status of RP implementation and physical progress is presented

below in Table 1.

Table 6: Summary of Consultation with Stakeholders

Issues discussed People’s views and perception

General perception about project The project will improve power position in the area and

local people will get relief from erratic supply. The project

will provide indirect employment which will add to the

economy growth of the area.

Support of local people for proposed

project

Yes local people supported the project. No resentment

No agitation.

Critical issue and concern by the

local people for the project

The line should not cross over the temple area. The

matter stands resolved.

design, operation stage and

construction

The local peoples view if any will be considered .till date

only shifting of tower issue arose which has been sorted

out with the design unit.

Loss of residential / commercial

structures, if any due to the project

No loss since no commercial structure is involved in the

project.

Loss of community life like any

Market Places or community

activities to be affected

No loss of community life like market place or community

activities as line is crossing far from villages.

Shortage of water for human

consumption, irrigation, and other

downstream uses

No shortage of water for human consumption being

linear project. Small quantity of water is required that too

at the time of tower foundation.

Negative impact on food grain,

availability /land use

No Negative impact on food grain, availability /land use

Will project cause landslides or soil

erosion

No, the project will not cause landslides or soil erosion

because protection work is always designed to protect

tower foundation at design stage.

Will project cause widespread

imbalance

No project will not cause widespread imbalance being

linear project.

Will project cause health and safety

issues

No the project will not cause any health and safety

issues

Will project setting change migration

pattern of animals

Issues discussed People’s views and perception

Perceived benefits from project Improve the power position of state as well as nation.

The economy growth of area due to indirect employment

and power availability. Industries can come up in the

area with improved power situation.

Perceived loss Only fruit loss and timber loss due to cutting of trees in

the ROW. Adequate Crop compensation will be

provided and people are satisfied with the measures of

HPPTCL. The compulsory afforestation will meet the

temporary loss of vegetation.

Other organizations active in the

area

Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd

Village Committee Jubbal, Deem, Darkoti, Sairy.

Other issues

Only some issues like shifting of towers at two

locations. The matter resolved by shifting of tower by 5

meters

Usefulness of consultation

Any kind of unrest by local public avoided by discussing

pros and cons of the project.

Involvement of people in

implementation

Since this is a turnkey project and involvement of the

people is only for few works i.e labour etc.

10. Capacity Building Initiatives

26. For proper and smooth implementation of RP implementation and safeguards

compliance as per ADB requirement, the capacity building of all the stakeholders involved in
