Write short note.
Narmada Bachao Andolan
उत्तर
- Narmada is the largest west-flowing river. The construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the river would have benefited Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
- The need to mobilise and protest against such a venture was perceived when the building of a dam implied taking away the livelihood of local inhabitants and displacing them.
- In 1985, the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) emerged as one of the powerful resistance movements under the leadership of Medha Patkar.
- It became an international movement and thousands of activists from India and abroad joined hands against the construction of this dam.
- In October 1994, Medha Patkar went on an indefinite dharna to pressurise the three state governments.
- The movement suggested the use of alternative methods for generation of electricity and adequate rehabilitation of the displaced.
- The NBA has brought issues of sustainable development to the forefront. It has questioned the validity of policy decisions about development and the utility of the same.
