It outlines project objectives to create a well-connected, safe, efficient transport network and details components for improved connectivity, transport efficiency, and modernization of transport institutions. It also describes the study objectives and scope: baseline data collection, social impact assessment with census and socio-economic surveys, identification of adverse and positive impacts, and development of mitigation and enhancement measures through environmental management planning and resettlement planning for affected persons.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nMeghalaya Integrated Transport Project  \nEnvironmental and Social Impact Assessment  \nExecutive Summary  \n1. Introduction  \nIn Meghalaya, over 80 percent of freight and almost cent percent of passenger movement within the state depends on roads. Yet, about half of the habitations lack all‐weather road access. The problem is further compounded by difficult terrain and extreme climatic condition, leading to high maintenance cost of the roads. Similarly, rapid urbanisation has created a huge gap between demand and supply of urban services and infrastructure. To overcome the abovementioned challenges in a holistic and all‐inclusive manner, the Government of Meghalaya, with financing and technical support from the World Bank, is preparing a project titled “Meghalaya Integrated Transport Project”. The objective of the project is to “provide a well‐connected efficient, good quality and safe transport network on long‐term basis in a cost‐effective manner maximizing economic and social outcomes”. The components of the project include:  \nComponent I: Improved Transport Connectivity  \nThis component will support (i) construction/rehabilitation of strategic State Highways (SH) and Major District Roads (MDR) including standalone bridges, (ii) replacement of semi‐permanent Timber Bridges which are in dilapidated condition, (iii) pilot projects on ropeways, non‐PMGSY roads, and footbridgesand footpaths to provide connectivity to small and scattered habitations, and (iv) pilot projects on performance‐based maintenance contracts (PBMC) .  \nComponent 2: Improvement of Transport Efficiency:  \nThis component will support investments through pilot projects on improved transport infrastructure to reduce congestion and improve urban mobility, road safety demonstration corridors, and technical assistance.  \nComponent 3: Modernize Transport Institutions (about 5 percent of the project cost; Technical Assistance):  \nThis component is intended to modernize overall transport sector management, including through the development and implementation of a Transport Sector Modernization Plan (TSMP) .  \n2. Objectives of the Study  \nThe study has the following objectives:  \n􀁸 a baseline database containing the environmental and social features and issues in the immediate vicinity of proposed road corridors;  \n􀁸 structures likely to be affected by the widening/ improvement proposal;  \n􀁸 highlight adverse social impacts and suggest measures to minimize / mitigate social impacts that the project‐affected people may face such as loss of livelihood, physical relocation, loss of access to community facilities, etc. and identify positive impacts that proposed project may bring in.  \n􀁸 identify key environmental issues and mitigation measures for negative impacts, as well as enhancement activities for positive impacts  \n􀁸 understand the policy and regulatory framework to guide development of appropriate management plans to ensure compliance with the applicable national and state requirements as well as policies of the World Bank  \n􀁸 develop resettlement action plan to avoid, reduce or mitigate likely negative impacts of project and enhance positive impacts, sustainability and development benefits;  \n􀁸 carry out an environmental impact assessment to develop environmental management plan for each road describing mitigation measures and enhancement measures to be implemented as part of the project  \nThe 10 Roads proposed under Phase one of the Project are detailed in Table 1.  \n\n| MEGHALAYA EAST |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| S.
