  26. Resettlement and Rehabilitation Process • Based on recommendations of a Task Force assigned to frame a policy regarding Resettlement & Rehabilitation the policy has been formulated. • Baseline Surveys, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan, Rehabilitation Implementation Plans (RIPs) and Community Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) have been prepared with the help of NGOs. • Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) prepared covering; • Number of families affected by the project • Policy framework and entitlements • Land acquisition details • Identification of resettlement sites and purchase of built houses • Plans for transit and permanent housing • Economic rehabilitation measures • Monitoring, evaluation procedures, grievance & redressal mechanisms • Time-table including the preparation of detailed implementation plans

  27. NGOs and Community Involvement • The project is being implemented with the assistance of the NGOs like SPARC and SRS • The process of community participation began from the stage of conducting BSES and RIP preparation and the post rehabilitation support and services for each of the project component • Reputed NGOs and Community Based Organisations working in the project areas engaged to carry out the BSES through the active participation of the community

  28. NGOs and Community Involvement • NGOs involvement helped to: • Identify the community preferences in new relocation site • Shelter design • Formation of Co. Op. Housing Societies of the PAHs • Formation of Mahila Milan Committees • Training the groups in maintenance and management of community needs • Preparing the community to adapt to new lifestyle in multi-storied building • Maintenance of the local environment and services • Training and assisting the communities in establishing community based savings and loan during the post resettlement phase • Promote community savings, income earning activities and improved quality of life

  33. Innovation in Implementation • The mammoth task of rehabilitation and resettlement is being implemented with the following fast and quick actions: • Establishment of SRA cell in MMRDA • Motivating the developers to offer tenements under SRA scheme • Invitation of proposals through public notification for construction of tenements under SRA • Timely approvals after statutory scrutiny to the proposals of the developers and grant of TDR benefits

  34. Innovation in Implementation – contd. • Supervision to ensure design standard, quality construction through PMCs ensuring development of off-site infrastructure utilizing engineering capabilities of MMRDA • Involvement of NGOs to carry out the BSES, preparation of RIP, CEMP and EA etc. • Co-ordination with government agencies like revenue department and collector encroachments to finalise eligibility and entitlements • Shifting of families through NGOs involvement under the supervision of trained and qualified team of MMRDA • Taking over of cleared lands and providing security to prevent re-encroachments

  35. Impact Assessment • The execution of MUTP, MUIP and resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected/slum dwellers would have several spin off benefits • The cost of the R&R if entirely procured through public procurement process, purely on financial terms would cost Rs. 1500 Cr. • The process through which these tenements were procured has put a very limited burden on government and therefore saved the public funds at large • This project not only helped to relieve Mumbai of it’s transportation problems but also give the much awaited impetus to the stagnant growth of Mumbai’s economy • The transport infrastructure project are expected to yield remarkable benefits to the city in terms of improved productivity, saving in fuel and travel time, reduction in pollution and overall growth of the city
