INTRODUCTION

Telangana Municipal Development Project (TMDP) is implemented by Government of

Telangana (GoT) with the support from World Bank. The Project aims at improving urban
services by eligible ULBs in a demand driven manner based on access criteria established under
the project. The project supports improvements in the financial, technical, and management
capacities of all ULBs of Telangana through Technical Assistance apart from infrastructure
financing. Jammikunta Nagar Panchayat is one of such water supply services improvement
Projects taken up under Telangana State Municipal Development Project (TMDP).

In Telangana, the municipalities are governed by Andhra Pradesh Municipality Act of 1965. The
Municipal corporations are governed by Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act of 1955.
Inadequate water supply has been identified as an urgent issue in several Urban Local Bodies
(ULB). In order to address this, improvements in water supply schemes have been taken up with
World Bank loan assistance. Objective of World Bank scheme is to help improve high-priority
urban service in cities in Telangana and to build the capacity of ULBs in development and
management of the urban services.

The population of Jammikunta Nagara Panchayat as per 2011 census is 32,645 with a growing
population that requires attention to improve civic amenities. The demand for water is also going
up abnormally. The population densities in the North-West and South-West part of the
Nagarapanchayat have considerably increased in the past two decades. There is an increase in
population of the town for about five decades from 1971 to 2011. As per 2001 Census
Jammikunta ULB had a population of 27,335. As per 2011 Census Jammikunta Nagarapanchayat
had a population of 32,645. There is an average increase at 34% in the population per decade.
The Jammikunta Nagara Panchayat is divided into 20 wards as per the G.O.Ms. No. 500 M.A. &
U.D. (Elec.I) Department dated 2-11-2011 for Jammikunta Nagara Panchayat.

The objective of this project is to provide drinking water @ 135 LPCD to 100% population.
Water supply distribution system is designed as continuous flow system i.e., 24x7 water supply.

2
Hence, a comprehensive water supply improvement scheme is taken up for medium and long
term requirements with the following salient components.

· To provide adequate number of valves to ensure isolation of the zones for maintenance
without affecting supply in other areas.
· To provide adequate number of bulk meters at strategic locations to ensure regular
monitoring of water flow.
· To withdraw the system of free supply of water through street stand posts.
· To introduce all supplies viz., domestic, industries, commercial establishment etc through
metering only.
· To minimize the leakage loss at all levels.
· Creation of a consumer redresser cell.
· To create an efficient O&M set up including repairs of meters at the earliest opportunity.
· To carry out public awareness using media as well as NG0s.

ASSESSMENT OF SOCIAL IMPACTS

In order to ensure that the project do not harm the livelihood of the people due to the proposed
project interventions, an assessment of adverse impacts was carried out with an objective of
proposing suitable mitigation measures where such impacts are envisaged. While formulating
the subproject, various efforts have been made to minimize resettlement. During planning and
designing, attempt has been made to restrict the construction works within the ULB lands and
RoW of Government/ ULB land. Despite these efforts, there may be minor impact on some
roadside vendors/ kiosks on RoW during laying of pipelines.

4
 The impacts are ascertained for each component of the project based on the proposed site of
construction /alignment. Necessity of land acquisition, Impacts on public/ private properties,
necessity for temporary relocation of roadside kiosks and disturbance to business have been
ascertained for each component. The details of proposed investment components and the
potential impacts in those components are described below.

The purpose of this Social Impact Assessment Report (SIAR) is to propose the mitigation
measures to those few shopkeepers who may be affected due to the project activities in order to
support them during the transition period. These impacts are of minor in nature and only impact
for a few days during laying of distribution lines (which will be done in stretches). All affected
people may continue to do their business activities after completion of pipeline work at their
current place of vending / business subject to the local laws.

In order to assess the impacts of the sub- project, a social impact assessment was carried out by
the DPR consultants. As per this assessment, laying of pipelines may affect a few shops during
laying of pipelines causing temporary disturbance. Hence provision for this is made in the SIAR
budget keeping in view of minor impacts which may arise during execution.

STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION

To ensure continued participation of the citizens during project preparation, a consultation

process was initiated. Stakeholders meeting was held on 22.11.2015 at Nagar Panchayat office,
Jammikunta in the presence of Chairperson and Municipal Commissioner. Local people were
informed about the project and they were requested to express their concerns and perceptions
about the project and also give suggestions for improvement in the project, if any. Forty people
attended the consultation process among them there was considerable representation of women
which include Municipal Councilors Kanumala Vijaya , Veenaganti Sreelatha, Kalvala Deepti,
Dodda Laxmi, Raavikanti Vaasavi, CH Rajitha, G. Swetha Rani and T. Sujatha. ). Since it was a
public meeting the BPL/SC/ST details were not collected. However it is observed that all the
sections of the society have participated in the consultation. Eight women representatives have
participated in the consultation.

The main concern of the people was shortage of drinking water, as there is no protected water
supply scheme to Jammikunta NP. The same is addressed by considering the 24x7 water supply
scheme. No social concerns were raised during the consultation process. The proceedings of the
stakeholders meeting are provided in Annexure I. The important observations and suggestions
given in the meeting as well replies of the ULB authorities are summarized below.

GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

The grievances can be registered at the Complaint Cell established at the ULB. The Complaint
Cell will also act as a Public Information Centre, where the grievances of the community will be
registered and other information with regard to the project, the sub-projects, social and
environmental safeguards will be provided. The grievances can pertain to any social and/or
environmental issues triggered by sub-projects under the TMD Project. The Complaint Cell
would forward the grievance to the S&E Officer of the ULB. If the grievance could not be
redressed by S&E Officer, it will be forwarded to the ESMC (Environmental and Social
Management Committee) for redressing. A District Urban Grievance Redressal Body will be
established for redressing the grievances that could not be solved by S&E Officer and ESMC at
ULB level. The District Urban Grievance Redressal Body will be established prior to award of
contracts in Jammikunta Nagar Panchayat. This body will consist of 4 to 5 eminent citizens in
the District and selected from diverse backgrounds such as, education, health and sanitation,
urban infrastructure, civic affairs, etc. In an advisory capacity, it will facilitate and suggest
suitable action to redress the grievances of the community/public. At State level the Project
