Question

What is save narmada movement what are its main objectives?

Answer 1

Narmada Bachao Andolan is the most powerful mass movement, started in 1985, against the construction of huge dam on theNarmadariver. Narmada is the India 's largest west flowing river, which supports a large variety of people with distinguished culture and tradition ranging from the indigenous (tribal) people inhabited in the jungles here to the large number of rural population. The proposed Sardar Sarovar Dam and Narmada Sagar will displace more than 250,000 people. The big fight is over the resettlement or the rehabilitation of these people. The two proposals are already under construction, supported by US$550 million loan by the world bank. There are plans to build over 3000 big and small dams along the river

Answer 2

The English translation of Narmada Bachao Andolan is Save the Narmada. The Narmada river flows through Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.

This is a social movement that triggered in 1989 and involves the participation of a lot of farmers, human rights activists, environmentalists, and Adivasis. The movement was led by Medha Patkar to protest against building big dams like the Sardar Sarovar Dam across the Narmada river in Gujarat using a non-violent strategy. This is because building such dams will cause the relocation of a large number of people.
