The Project Description

Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board (TNSCB) has taken a major initiative for construction of 3616 multi storied tenements at All India Radio (A.I.R.) Land Thiruvottiyur and 2064 families at Okkium Thoraipakkam for the Tsunami affected slum dwellers under the World Bank Assistance. MoEF clearance and CRZ clearance from Government of India have been obtained.

Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)

Environment and Social Assessment for the Construction of Tenements at All India Radio Land, Thiruvottiyur and Okkium Thoraipakkam  was completed .There is a need for assessment  and evaluation of environmental and social issues related to the project and provide an Environmental Management Plan for adequate mitigation. Hence as per the directions of the World Bank it is felt important for the need of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the additional 103 project affected families          (103 families and one Pothu Nala Sangam - 104 structures) living on the approach road to be resettled at AIR Land and Okkium Thoraipakkam along with the Tsunami affected Resettlement project.

The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for Project Affected Families of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board contains the magnitude of resettlement issues and the mitigation of impacts. This report also includes the baseline socio economic characteristics of project affected people, the R& R policy provisions, the entitlements, outcomes of the public consultation held with community, implementation and monitoring mechanisms and the budget for implementing the R&R Provisions.

Based on the outcome of the Environmental and Social Assessment report submitted by the Ecosmart consultants and the baseline survey carried out by the community development wing of Tamilnadu Slum Clearance Board, the draft RAP report has been prepared by the Tamilnadu Slum clearance board with the aim of filling up the gaps and additional information wherever required.
