EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
0.1 GENERAL
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), Government of India has
proposed “Bharat Mala Pariyojana” an Umbrella scheme of road development project
through National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), National Highway and Industrial
Development Corporation (NHIDC) and state Public Works Departments (PWD) at an
estimated cost of INR 5,35,000crores. This is the second largest highways
construction project in the country after NHDP, in that almost 50,000 km of roads
targeted across the country. This project aim to improve connectivity particularly on
economic corridors, border areas and remote areas with rapid and safe movement of
cargo to boost exports. International trade considered as a key aspect in this scheme
and northeastern states have given special focus. The project cleared by the Union
Cabinet on October 25, 2017.
The ambitious project expected to create nearly 100million man days of jobs during the
constructionandsubsequentlytoabout22millionjobsoftheincreasedeconomicactivityacros
s the country. The construction will carried out through many means including debt
funds, budgetary allocation, private investment, toll operator transfer etc. The total
length of around 34,800km considered in phase 1including
 Economic corridors of around9,000km,
 Inter-corridor and feeder routes of around6,000km,
 National Corridors Efficiency Program of about 5,000 kmroads
 Border and international connectivity roads of around 2,000 km,
 Coastal and port connectivity roads of around 2,000km,
 Expressways of around 800 km
 NHDP roads of10,000km
In pursuance of the above program, NHAI appointed M/s STUP Consultants Private
Limited,NewDelhiasConsultantstocarryouttheConsultancyServicesforpreparationofDP
R for development of Economic Corridors, Inner corridors, feeder Routes and Costal
Roads to improve the efficiency of fright movement in India - Lot 4/Gujarat, M.P. /
Package 3. The project consists following stretches of roads finalized as per final
InceptionReport.
 Bhopal – Sanchi – Vidisha – Sagar (Length - 173km)

This Report provides the details of Project road from Sanchore to Santhalpur. The
proposed alignment passes through some stretches of congested area namely
Sanchore, Nana Mesara, Mota Mesara, Piluda, Magrol, Dudhva, Janadi and Tharad.
0.2 PROJECT HIGHWAY
The Greenfield project highway stretch of Length 125.187 Km is a National Highway

745K is a part of Economic Corridor Named AMRITSAR to JAMNAGAR starting
from Sanchore (Gujrat – Rajasthan Border) ( Lat & Long : 24°39'52.16"N &
71°44'47.14"E) and passing through the Districts of Banskatha and Patan district in
the state of Gujarat and ends at Santhalpur at km 427 (meeting point with NH-68)
(Lat & Long 23°44'35.52"N& 71° 8'17.15"E). The major towns coming along the
Project Highway are Tharad, Kilana, Jamvada, Santhalpur. The length of the Project
Highway is 125.187 km with 93.5 km in Banaskantha District and remaining in Patan

NH68) and km 34+427 (km 328.297 of existing NH68).
0.5 EXISTING ALIGNMENT
The horizontal alignment is passing through plain / rolling terrain in the entire length.
It can cater to the design speed of 80 – 100 km per hour.
0.6 SETTLEMENT
There are some minor settlementsalong the Project Highway. Nana Mesara, Mota
Mesara, Piluda, Magrol, Dudhva, Janadi,Tharad, Kilana, Jamvada, Santhalpur are
the some of the settlements.

0.18 SOCIAL ASSESSMENTS

As part of the project feasibility initial social assessment (social screening ) is undertaken in
parallel with the Environment, Engineering and Economic analysis in order to determine any
significant social issues which require further analysis during the Social Impact Assessment
study and preparation of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the project
Initial Social Assessment of the Project is on the basis of whether it involves Project Affected
Persons (PAPs) and/or Indigenous People (IP) or Scheduled Tribes. This information whether
the project involves PAPs or IPs can be ascertained based on the information collected through
the socio-economic survey, verification of assets and losses and consultations with the
residents at the Project locations.
The proposed alignment connects starts in Banaskantha district from km 4+888 in vantdau
village and ends at km 130+0730 located in Ranmalpur Village, Patan district. Total length of
project road is 125.185 km.Project highway traversing through Banaskantha and Patan district.
Keeping in mind the aims and objectives of the Initial Social Assessment & Social Screening,
tools have been used are -Social Screening Survey formats, Field testing of formats, Screening
survey, Collection of secondary data, Compilation of data, Analysis, Preparation of the report.
Land will be acquired and compensation for land and structures will be paid as per the Right to
Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement
Act, 2013 (also Land Acquisition Act, 2013). A detailed Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and a
Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be prepared for the project.
The land use along the project road is mainly agricultural& Non agricultural land except in built
up areas. The population of the area mainly depend on agriculture.
10 kms distance from the alignment has been considered as study area for preliminary
environmental assessment baseline studies. Secondary data collected from various
Government, Semi- Government organizations and site visits for various attributes like climate,
physical environment, meteorology, ambient air quality, surface water and Ground water
quality, soil characteristics, noise levels and flora & fauna.
The key issues identified during the screening study are:
 Felling of roadside trees

 Impact on River and streams
 Impact on religious structures
 Impact on settlements along the road due to widening of the roads
 Impact on markets and commercial establishments along the road due to widening
 Availability of water for road construction

 Impact on natural drainage pattern of the area.

 Impact on community water resources and water storage arrangements.
 Material for high embankments
 Scarcity of earth and availability of borrow areas.
 Disposal of Excess earth from hill cutting
 Protection of disposal sites
 Location of underpass, overpass, pedestrian crossings, cattle crossing migratory path,
in consultation with local people.
 Road safety and safety during construction and operation of the road.
