First, its National Civil Aviation Policy. Two important ‘the central government came up objectives of the NCAP 2016 are to “enhance regional connectivity through financial support and infrastructure development” and to “establish an integrated eco-system, which will lead to a aviation sector, which in turn would promcte tourism, increase significant employment and lead to a balanced regional growth.” the Union Civil Aviation Ministry came up wit To meet the twin object Connectivity Scheme in October 2016, which was then revised in December 2016 to give final store for the sector in the years to come. The Regional ik). shape to the plan and spell out what Connectivity Scheme also has an acronym to its credit: UDAN (Ude Desi Ke Aam ‘The government began the process of implementing the UDAN Regional Connectivity Scheme with the allotment of routes under the first phase in 2017. In April 2017, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the inaugural flight, flagging off the Alliance Air’s Delhi-to- Shimla route. Another operator, Trujet connected Hyderabad in Telangana with Nanded in Maharashtra and with a separate route from Hyderabad to Kadapa. Air Deccan, Spice 1g. The UDAN-I round led Jet and Air Odisha too were awarded routes in the first round of bi to the commencement of 16 regional cone ctivity scheme routes... ‘The Government awarded the second round of routes under UDAN-2 to 78 airports of which 36 are currently serviced, 13 are underserved and 29 are unserved aircraft. This round led to 25 new airports being connected through the regional connectivity scheme. That apzrt, 31 new heliports! helipads too were connected through UDAN-2. The government is awarded 90 proposals under the second phase of the scheme. The airlines that joined the race to bag UDAN routes under the second round and were successful in their bids include Indigo, Zoom Air, Turbo Aviation, Heritage, Jet Airways, Ghodawat, Skyone, Heligo Charters, AAA Aviation, Pinnacle Air, MEHAIR and Pawan Hans.‘The UDAN scheme has kindled the appetite for the global aircraft make:s, who are raring to make the business opportunity a win-win-win for themselves, the airlines and the nation. Our sector estimate has put the number of aircraft required for shorter routes and smaller airports under the UDAN scheme could be around 200 to 300 birds in the next 10 years. ike 70 to 120-seater eat opportunity for Embraer, whic! aircraft, which could be used in regional markets to connect major cities to s ‘A recent study by the Intemational Air Transport association forecast that India will have the third fastest growing aviation market by 2036, with 337 n new fliers taking the country’s total passenger count to 478 million, It was reported recently that a blueprint prepared by Indian Railways (IR) had forewarned that the number of passengers travelling by air would exceed AC-class passengers in 2019-20. IR and domestic airlines carried about 145 million and 97.8 ely between yn passengers respect December 2015 and November 2016. With a projected 20% growth in air passengers and 5% growth in rail AC-class passengers between December 2015 to November 2016 and 2019-2 is estimated that air passengers will outnumber rail AC-class passengers in 2019-20. The proposed project is intended for the development of International Airport near Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, The need for the project arises from the constraints encountered by the present IGT [Airport at Delhi in terms of catering the increasing demand in the NCR Region. Increasing air traffic and spurt in the rate of domestic and international passengers have constrained the iin terms of facilities and space. Thus the need for second operations of IGI Airport at Del airport becomes imperative for improving the standards of airport operatioas and services in the NCR region. ‘The International Airport near Jewar will be developed as an Aviation Hub which is conceived to ies designed with large land reserves around it provide all the modern, efficient and hi-tech fa with clear master plan for continued phased development into the future. The airport area when fully operational is expected to have Aero and Non-Aero activities along with MRO faci With the development of the proposed airport, industrial and infrastructure investment is expected to boost the economic state of the region which would lead to increase in the employment opportunities for the affected population. 2The development of airport would Icad to enhancement in the manufacturing and export sector. Since the proposed site is located closely to major tourist attractions like Vrindavan, Taj Mahal, ‘Mathura ete, the tourism sector is also expected to perform significantly well in the region. ‘Apart fiom the above, the proposed airport is expected to give excelleat experience to the passengers by saving their time, cost and efforts, by having easy and fast access to the airport. > Location of the Project: ‘The project is proposed to be located in the district of Gautam Budhha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, The site is adjacent to the Jewar Town and is well connected to the prominent cities of NCR including Aligarh, Mathura, Agra, Palwal, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon etc. The site is we connected with rail and road networks, including Yamuna Expressway ard Eastern Peripheral Expressway. In the first phase of development, a total of 8 villages are proposed to be acquired. The population residing in the area is expected to lose combination of productive assets, land, income, livelihood, housing structures, community resources, habitat and cultural sites and goods. A detailed survey has been carried out to understand the total land in various affected villages. The expected loss is evaluated on the detailed survey of the area and land records etc. > Size and attributes of land acq ‘The present project envisages an area of land requirement measuring to 3500 acres. However, in the first phase of development, only 1327 hectares of land would need to be developed.Table 1.

Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. Yamuna Expressway Industrial of Jewar village, Development Authority (YEIDA) has been appointed as the nodal agency by the State Government for managing the project. For the purpose of development of proposed airport, 3000 hectares of land has been earmarked, Such earmarked area of land needs to be acquired in phases. In the first phase, fied. Further Implementation of any development project has both positive and negative outcomes. jie and social benefits, it also creates While a development project brings lot of eco several negative consequences to the people belonging to the project area. The relentless interventions of social activists and scientists have brought into being several supportive mechanisms to protect the interest of the affected people. In order to ensure a humane, participative, informed and transparent process for land acquisition for development of infrastructure facilities, “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR, 2013)” was introduced by the Government of India. Section 4 of the act made it mandatory to determine the impact and public purpose of land acquisition for development projects in our country. Enacting an act of this kind is a welcome move from the part of Government to consider the humane concerns of development projects, in which the affected population has a greater role and involvement in the land acquisition and resettlement process. As required under section 109 to 112 of the Right to Fair the given Act, Goverment of Uttar Pradesh (GoUP) issued Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitstion and Resettlement (Uttar Pradesh) Rules, 2016 (RFCTLARR- UP)”. Sess‘The act delineates several purposes of the social impact assessment (SIA). First one is to assess whether the proposed acquisition serves the public purpose assess the extent of land and other project. Studying the social impact of the project and cost of addressing the sox were also described to be included in the impact assessment (LARR, 2013). In that sense SIA helps to ensure the need for the project proposed and to enhance benefits to the poor ized while minimizing and mitigating adverse impacts of development and the margin: projects on the local communities. 1.2 Rational of the Project: ‘The National Capital Region (NCR). is spread over an area of 58,332 square Km and comprises mainly of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, The prominent cities of NCR include Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida and Meerut. The population of NCR, ‘according to 2011 census, is over 46 million and is projected to increase in the coming years. ‘National capital Region is experiencing a significant growth in the economy. Since 1998, there has been a significant increase in the number of commercial passengers and air the de- freight in the country. Most of this growth has been witnessed post 2003-04, regulation of the avi {As per the information available, the current annual passenger throughput at Indira Gandhi International (IGT) Airport at Delhi is approximately 60 million.The current annual ion and the expected maximum capacity by passenger capacity at 2020 is approximately 80-85 million. As per 2014 forecast, the expected passengers in 2020 - 91mn, however actual number would exceed this, due to exponential passenger growth rate: In the year 2015-16, domestic passenger growth rate was 23% as against 9.7% in 2013-14. ‘The air traffic congestion has become significantly high due to long queues in landing/take international) is likely to enhance due to: off.

Proposed development of Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region pment of DMIC in the region Apart from air traffic, all major routes in Delhi leading to IGI witness high traffic congestion demand for faster access to Airport. Thus, the travel time has tremendously increased in the recent years. Consequently, the IGI airport is already experiencing congestion, particularly during peak moming and evening hours. Even with the proposed expansion of the airport, it would only be capable of meeting air traffic demand up to 2020. ‘Also, the proposed location of the airport is well connected to state of UP, MP, Bihar, catchment area for International Cargo Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Haryana. and Passenger Traffic may extend up to 500-700kms. Thus realizing the need for second airport for NCR, the Ministry of Ci ‘n granted site clearance in July 2017. In the first phase of development, 1327 hectares of land has been proposed to be acquired. ood of the In order to ensure that the project addresses the adverse impact on the people and that nobody is left worse off after implementing resettlement action plan and those affected have access to project benefits, both during the project construction as well as operation, the social impact assessment study has been undertaken, The obj is to undertake preliminary investigation for determination of social impacts and publi wn of land required for development & tion to proposed acqui purpose in rel construction of the Projects and for preparation of Social Impacts Management Plan in order to establish that the potential benefits and the public purpose for the proposed acquisition shall outweigh the social costs and adverse social impact as determined by the Social Impact Assessment. ‘The broad objectives of such study are elaborated below: to identify © To carry out a socio-economic, cultural and political/institutional anal the project stakcholders and social issues associated with the project led assessment of the socio-economic conditions of the people who may be negatively affected; ‘* A detailed study of the impacts in terms of the extent of displacement, the loss of yods, the second-order impacts as a result of submergence, construction mitigation measures, downstream impacts, and host communities; and 10© To assess the extent of asset loss and undertake the census of potential project affected people; ‘on with the affected people To develop a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) in const and project authorities - A detailed plan to mitigate these impacts and an assessment of the costs of suc jeasures. ¢, location, capacity, outputs, production targets, cost, ris!

Project cost and Risk Involved: ‘The projected cost of the proposed project is estimated around INR. 15000 to 20000 Crores. However, the total cost for the development of the. airport would be available after the completion of Techno-economic Feasibility Study. ‘The associated risks of the project are listed below: 2) b) 4d) Failure of the project during the first phase might be projected negatively and would impact ects. the credibility of the government to develop mega pr Loss of employment for construction workers would have considerable negative social impact Loss of land and livelihood would make a large impact on the project affected families. Disruption in the existing economic activities and community characteristics. 1.4 Examination of Alternatives: ‘The present airport at IGI, Delhi is reaching at its saturation point and would not be la enough to serve the increasing demands of trading and servicing activities ~ domestic and international - in the capital city of the country. Given the location of the present airport and the capital investment required to expand it, it is not feasible to develop a larger airport at the same site. The question, then, is what would be an appropriate site for the project. ‘The parameters for selecting possible sites for airport development and operation are as follows: - © Thesite should have an obstruction free approach . ‘The site should have technical and operational suitability . Site development should create minimum disturbance to population ‘© Availability of land for a large airport . Ground access time of 1 hour 30 minutes (as per international standards) © Availability of physical and social infrastructure 131.5 Phases of project construction: 1* phase of development of 1327 hectares of land to be acquired for the development of airport.
