Answer:

The Narmada Bachao Andolan is a movement started with the specific issue of the people displaced by the creation of Sardar Sarovar dam on the Narmada river. Its objective was to stop the dam from being constructed. Gradually it became a wider movement that questioned all such big dams and the model of development that required such dams.

She played a key role in Narmada Bachao Andolan in 1985.
