Two movements that have been started to oppose multipurpose projects are :
(i) Narmada Bachao Andolan was started against the Sardar Sarovar Dam being
built across the Narmada river in Gujarat.
(ii) Tehri Dam Andolan – Resistance to these projects has primarily been due to the large-scale displacement of local communities.
The landowners and large farmers, industrialists and a few urban centers are benefitted from such projects.
Hope it helps!!
