Bullet Train Project Report

Description

Introduction

Taru Leading Edge Pvt Limited (hereafter referred to as Taru) has been appointed by Japan International Consultants for Transportation Co. Ltd., Oriental Consultants Co., Ltd. and Nippon Koei Co., Ltd (hereafter referred to as Client) to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the affected area/people in the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High Speed Railway Corridor (hereinafter called HSR). The RAP is a part of the Joint Feasibility Study.
The RAP has been developed in accordance with the requirement of Japan International Cooperation Agency (hereinafter referred to as JICA). Environmental & Social Consideration Guidelines (April 2010)” and World Bank OP.4.12 guidelines (together referred to as the reference framework). The RAP provides a framework and a plan within which the resettlement, livelihood and other impacts linked/associated with the project will be addressed.
