In order to ascertain the loss of
structure, the survey focused on the type of structure in which the affected
people were living. It is observed that 74% of the affected people are living in
Kutcha type roofed houses, followed by 16% in Pucca structures and 9% in Semi -
pucca structures. The housing condition of the affected people is one main
variable to ascertain the living condition of the people. Since the data reveals
more than 74% as residing in thatched roof houses which needs special attention
of the policy makers to frame the entitlements matrix.

Livelihood Losses in the
Project:
Livelihood loss in the project
includes the non –land based economic activities. Apart from the loss of the
structures for a household, the project involves the loss of livelihood of an
individual by losing employment due to closure of business and change of
place.
Income Restoration Schemes:
To compensate the loss of livelihood,
assistance shall be given to reestablish his /her livelihood and income, as per
the provisions in the entitlement matrix. The implementation of the Income
restoration programme shall be carried out as follows:
«
Identification of suitable income
generating enterprises.
«
Sustainable economic generation
options to be discussed with the affected people through consultation
process
«
Establishing links between skill
training, credit availability and marketing
«
Feasible studies for each business
options to be made
«
Field level
monitoring on the income generation programmes and facilitation by the
PIU
Database Management:
The details collected from the census
survey and enlistment survey will be compiled. An external database management
specialist shall be appointed for establishing the database. The external
consultant shall train the PIU for updating and retrieval of the database. The
key tasks for the database establishment involve:
v
Establishing the input
formats
v
Designing outputs for periodical
reports
v
Training the PIU staff on
DBMS
Implementation Agency:
A well-defined institutional
arrangement and implementation mechanism is very important for timely and
successful implementation of any plan. The success or failure of a Resettlement
and Rehabilitation (R&R) programme predominantly depends on the officers
responsible for its implementation. Therefore it is appropriate to define the
type of institutional arrangement and implementation mechanism proposed for the
R&R programme.
Implementation
Authority
The Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board
(TNSCB) which is responsible for the implementation of this project, ‘Tenements
for Tsunami affected at All India Radio Site in Thiruvottiyur’ and the Okkium
Thoraipakkan , and other related components will be responsible for the
implementation of the Resettlement Plan (RP).The TNSCB will constitute Project
Implementing Unit (PIU) which will be under the direction of the Executive
Engineer, Division I and FAP, TNSCB, who are responsible for coordination of all
components of resettlement. The PIU
will be staffed with an Officer – Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the rank of
Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE-RR) from the same Divisional Office. The
AEE-RR will be supported by one Community Development Officer and Community
Officer with experience in consultation and relocation activities, for a period
of three months (intermittently) or till the end of the implementation of the
RP.
RAP
facilitation
Since this project involves allotment
of tenements in the proposed project as resettlement measure for 103 PAFs and
providing livelihood assistance to 2 PAFs, there is no need for a separate NGO
to facilitate the RP implementation and the same can be undertaken by the
Community Development Officer of TNSCB who will be involved in the
implementation of this RP.
The designated Community Development
Officer (CDO) of TNSCB will be responsible for the following
tasks:
• Develop rapport with
PAFs
• Issue of photo identity cards to
each of the PAFs after completing the verification
• Verify the genuineness of the PAFs
who were not identified at the time of baseline socioeconomic
survey
• To create awareness about the
resettlement and rehabilitation measures
• Explain and counsel why some PAFs
are beneficiaries and why some are not (as absentee owners will not be entitled
for alternate house)
• Assist the PAFs in allotting
dwelling units in the proposed tenements
• Assist the PAFs in the
transition
• Disbursement of
funds
• Ensure that the PAFs obtain the
assistance that is allocated to them
• Accompany and represent the PAFs at
the grievance redressal committee meetings, and
• Carry out any other
responsibilities as required and identified to facilitate
and provide alternative livelihoods for the rehabilitated
Project
Supervision
In order to oversee the timely
implementation of the programme and take appropriate decisions from time to
time, the Project Management Unit (PMU) constituted at CRA will meet
periodically to discuss the progress made in the RP implementation and take
timely decisions to overcome any operational difficulties.
Implementation of
RAP
The entire programme will be
implemented over a period of 3 months (intermittent). Each entitled unit
(family/persons) will be issued an identity card that will list the support
mechanisms and amount of assistance to be given. The PIU will be established
exclusively for the purpose of implementing the RP in order to complete the
implementation in twelve weeks. However if there is any delay in implementation
due to unforeseen circumstances, the period of PIU will be extended accordingly.
The implementation of the RAP involves the following
activities:
E Finalization of Cut-off date
E Notification for clearance of
encroachments and Squatters for resettlement
E Enlistment of the Structures of the
Project affected
E Estimation of the impact of Loss of
the project affected
E Issue of ID
Cards
E Preparation of PAFs for
resettlement
E Disbursement of R&R cash
Assistance for the affected people
E Relocation and resettlement of
PAFs.
Community Participation for Implementation of
RAP
During the implementation of the RAP,
as a follow up action for the consultations held continuous participation of
community has been envisaged through three levels:
v
At the first level disseminating the
information on the finalized entitlements package and options for each
category.
v
Second level participation will be
ensured through reaching agreements on the compensation and assistance and
finalizing the project affected through issue of ID Cards
v
The third round involves the
disbursement of compensation and assistance amounts when the actual resettlement
process began after obtaining the approval of the PIU.
Gender issues in the Project
Realizing the need for gender issues,
the R&R policy includes the Women Headed Households as the vulnerable
groups. These households will be entitled for all assistances under vulnerable
category. The impact assessment will focus on the women gender in specific. The
concerns and the responses of the women during the consultation meetings will be
addressed.
Plan for Continuous
Participation
Follow-up consultation will be held
prior to the resettlement. The stake holders’ workshops are to be conducted,
wherein the PAFs shall be explained as to how the issues raised during the
earlier consultations have been or not been addressed in the final
design.
Co-ordination with civil
works
The PIU will be responsible for
coordination of civil works and the RP for timely relocation of the PAFs. The
PIU will be responsible for the overall co-ordination of RP and will ensure that
construction of tenements are complete and all related amenities are in place
before advising the PAFs to relocate to the tenements allotted to them. Further,
it will be the responsibility of the PIU to ensure that the widening of the
approach road in the Western side is not taken up for construction until all
PAFs occupy their respective tenements. By ensuring this the shifting of PAFs
temporarily does not arise and the PAFs can continue to live in the same place
until the tenements are ready for occupation. The PIU will also ensure that the
western side of the site is adequately safeguarded during construction
operation.
Training and Development of
Staff
To strengthen the PIU, a couple of
training activities will be planned for the duration of the project. These
training programmes will cover subjects such as policy framework, identification
and verification of beneficiaries, public consultations, resettlement action
plan, compliance, and coordination with civil work.
Resettlement
site
Based on the feedback obtained during
the socio-economic survey, wherein all PAFs had opted for a house in the AIR
site being developed to house Tsunami affected, there is no need for
identifying, selecting and developing a separate resettlement
site.
Steps in
Implementation
The main steps in implementation of
the programme include:
• Establishment of the
PIU
• Imparting training to the staff to
be involved in implementation
• Issuing identity cards to
PAFs
• Disbursement of RP
assistance
• Consultation and allotment of
dwelling units
• Delivery of completed dwelling
units fit for occupation and
• Impact
evaluation
Grievances Redressal
Mechanism
Any aggrieved PAFs will be directed
to approach the Executive Engineer, TNSCB and forwarded to the Chief Engineer
(TNSCB) subsequently at the first level. Further if the PAFs are not satisfied,
they may approach Assistant Commissioner / DMR and DRO / R&R of Project
Management Unit Office at Ezhilagam. Petitions received will be acknowledged
within 7 days from the date of receiving the petition. The action taken on the
grievance will be communicated to the aggrieved PAF through registered letter
within 30 days from the date of receipt of the petition. The project affected
person can go through these two levels of grievance redressal forum available to
the PAF and if not satisfied can appeal in the Court of Law. Step-by-step
process for registering and redressing of grievances, response time,
communication modes, mechanism for appeal and the provisions to approach civil
courts in case of other provision fail will be disseminated. These will be
prepared in the local language and distributed to all the PAFs at the time of
issuing identity cards.
Monitoring
and Evaluation
Though sizeable number of PAFs are
involved, the impact to the PAFs is one and the same and hence TNSCB itself can
do the concurrent monitoring. A consultant will be appointed who would undertake
an impact evaluation, six months after the implementation of the RP. TNSCB will
monitor the R&R activities and prepare monthly progress reports in terms of
physical and financial indicators and submit the same to the Special Officer,
ETRP/TEAP. In addition, the monitoring process will also look into the
communication and reactions of PAFs, use of grievance procedures and information
to PAFs on benefits, options and implementation timetable. The progress report
will be reviewed by the PMU.
For the impact evaluation the
consultant would collect primary data from the PAFs and compare the same with
the BSS data collected. Some of the key socio-economic indicators that would be
used to assess the success of the project are listed
below:
• Type of dwelling
unit
• Size of dwelling
unit
• Access and quality of basic
amenities such as water, electricity, toilet, separate kitchen,
and
• Income levels
