The Narmada Bachao Andolan was a social movement started in 1985 against the construction of large dams on the Narmada River, including the Sardar Sarovar Dam. The movement was initiated by Medha Patkar and protested the displacement of over 250,000 people living in the river valley without adequate rehabilitation. Major protests organized by the movement included a 36-day march between states and a sit-in at the Prime Minister's residence, which led the World Bank to cancel funding for the projects in 1993. Construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam continued and it was eventually completed in 2017.

Narmada Bachao Andolan.pptx
The document summarizes information about the Narmada River, the Narmada Valley Development Project to construct dams along the river, and the resulting Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) protest movement. It describes that the project planned 30 large dams and would displace 250,000 people, affecting 37,000 hectares of land. The NBA movement started in 1985 against the huge dams and focused on saving forests/wildlife and rehabilitating affected people. Led by Medha Patkar and Baba Amte, the NBA used protests and legal challenges to fight for local communities' rights.
Narmada bachao andolan
The Narmada projects are the epitome of unsustainable development.
Two of the largest proposed dams, Sardar Sarovar and Narmada Sagar, have been under construction since 1961.
According to Narmada Bachao Andolan, the dams force the displacement of about a million people and affect many more, largely poor peasants and tribals.
They also cause immense ecological damage through the inundation of forests, including prime habitats of rare species.
Resettlement and compensation have been totally inadequate and there is not the remotest prospect that the displaced people, the ‘oustees’, will be adequately resettled, nor that the ecological damage can be compensated for.
There are also real doubts, borne out by the experience of large dams elsewhere in India, that the dams will yield their projected benefits of hydropower, irrigation and drinking water.
The project is set fair to become another human and ecological ‘development tragedy’.

The Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) is a social movement founded in 1985 under the leadership of Medha Patkar to protest the Sardar Sarovar Project on the Narmada River in India. The NBA opposes the project due to concerns over inadequate resettlement of displaced persons and environmental impacts. It advocates for the rights of Dalits, Adivasis, and minority communities affected by the project and government development policies. Over three decades, the NBA has organized protests and legal challenges that have led to some improvements in rehabilitation policies but many issues remain unresolved as construction of the dam continues.

The Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) is a social movement opposed to the Narmada Valley Development Project, a project involving the construction of 30 large dams along the Narmada River in India. The NBA, led by activist Medha Patkar since 1989, argues that the dams will displace millions of people while benefiting economic elites. Using non-violent Gandhian methods like protests and hunger strikes, the NBA campaigned internationally and nationally to stop the projects. While construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam was approved by the Supreme Court in 2000, the NBA continues opposing the project and advocating for affected communities.
Narmada bachao andolan
The Narmada Bachao Andolan is a social movement against large dams being built on the Narmada River in India, including the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat. The movement was started in 1986 in response to the World Bank funding the dam project without properly considering social and environmental impacts. It is led by social activist Medha Patkar and aims to save forests, wildlife, and ensure proper resettlement of thousands of people displaced by the dams. While supporters argue the dams will provide water and power, critics say they negatively impact tribal communities along the river without adequate rehabilitation. The movement has involved protests and legal challenges, with the Indian Supreme Court ultimately ruling in favor of continuing dam construction.

Medha Patkar
Medha Patkar is an Indian environmentalist and social activist who founded the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) to protest the Narmada Valley Development Project in 1979. The project proposed building thousands of dams on the Narmada River and its tributaries, which would displace tens of thousands of families. Through peaceful protests and marches, Patkar and the NBA mobilized local residents against the project due to insufficient information provided about the impact and a lack of consultation. Their efforts succeeded in 1993 when the World Bank withdrew funding from the project. Patkar continues advocating for just compensation for communities affected by dams and opposing other projects on the Narmada River through the NBA and National Alliance of People's Movements

Nba final
The document summarizes the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), a movement resisting the Sardar Sarovar Project on the Narmada River in India. The project, conceived in the 1960s, aims to build 3000 dams including three major dams and canals. It would displace over 3 million people in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. The NBA argues the project will not solve water scarcity and offers inadequate compensation. It lost legal challenges until the 1990s when investigations found issues with resettlement plans. The movement continues protests despite a 2001 Supreme Court ruling allowing the project to proceed.
Environmental aspects of sardar saroar project
The document summarizes the environmental aspects and impacts of the Sardar Sarovar Project on the Narmada River in India. The project involves building a large dam and irrigation system across three states. It will submerge over 37,000 hectares of land and displace over 100,000 people across 245 villages. While the project aims to provide irrigation, it has faced significant opposition for its environmental and social impacts, including loss of homes, livelihoods and increased health issues for displaced communities.
Medha Patkar
Medha Patkar is a social activist from India who founded the Narmada Bachao Andolan movement in 1986 to protest the Sardar Sarovar Dam project on the Narmada River. The dam project would displace hundreds of thousands of people and negatively impact the environment and livelihoods of local residents. Patkar's movement used non-violent protests and hunger strikes to raise awareness and successfully pressure the World Bank to withdraw funding from the project due to unaddressed social and environmental concerns. Her activism brought international attention to the issue and has opposed other large dam projects in India that negatively impact local communities.
Chipko movement
The Chipko movement began in the 1970s as a non-violent protest against the felling of trees in India. Villagers embraced trees to prevent them from being cut down, giving the movement its name which means "to hug." The movement aimed to protect and conserve forests and trees from destruction. Key leaders included Sunderlal Bahuguna and Chandi Prasad Bhatt who advocated for sustainable use of forest resources and educating villagers about deforestation. Women also played an active role in the movement by recognizing forests as important to their livelihoods.
Ganga action plan (2)
The Ganga Action Plan (GAP) was approved in 1985 as a 100% centrally sponsored scheme to reduce pollution in the Ganga River. It aimed to intercept and divert untreated municipal sewage generated in various towns and cities located on the banks of the Ganga. The GAP was implemented in two phases targeting a total of 2793.94 MLD of sewage across 6 states. The Central Ganga Authority and later the National River Conservation Authority were established to oversee the GAP's implementation.
Chipko Movement
Chipko movement was a non-violent agitation in 1973 that was aimed at protection and conservation of trees, but, perhaps, it is best remembered for the collective mobilisation of women for the cause of preserving forests, which also brought about a change in attitude regarding their own status in society.
Ganga Rejuvenation Programme
The document discusses the Ganga Rejuvenation Programme of the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation in India. It summarizes the Ganga Action Plan Phases I and II, which aimed to improve water quality in the Ganga river by building sewage treatment plants. It then discusses the establishment of the Clean Ganga Fund and the current Namami Gange Mission, which takes a holistic, multi-sectoral approach to long-term conservation of the river. The action plan for Namami Gange focuses on short-term priorities like upgrading sewage treatment and long-term infrastructure projects and initiatives around ensuring sustainable management of municipal sewage, rural sewage, industrial discharge, and
Chipko movement case study
The Chipko movement began in the 1970s when villagers in Uttarakhand, India hugged trees to prevent deforestation by logging corporations. Led primarily by women, the non-violent protests stopped logging in certain areas. Over 260 years earlier, the Bishnoi community in Rajasthan sacrificed their lives hugging trees ordered to be cut, inspiring the name "Chipko" meaning "tree huggers." The movement brought attention to sustainable forestry and local control over forest resources.
GANGA ACTION PLAN
The Ganga Action Plan was launched in 1986 to reduce pollution in the Ganga river, but efforts to decrease pollution levels continued beyond 2000 without success. Reasons for failure included a lack of cooperation between government bodies, inadequate monitoring, and insufficient public involvement. In 2009, the National Ganga River Basin Authority was constituted to plan, implement, and coordinate Ganga conservation efforts, including securing World Bank funds for pollution abatement projects. Addressing untreated sewage discharge, inadequate river flows, and lack of enforcement against industrial pollution will be needed for comprehensive solutions.
Chipko movement Power Presentation
The Chipko movement was a forest conservation movement started in the 1970s in India to protect trees from being cut down. Local village women would literally hug trees to prevent loggers from felling them. The movement was non-violent and sparked by the need to preserve forests for livelihoods and maintain ecological balance. Key leaders included Chandi Prasad Bhatt and village women who led protests by embracing trees. Through non-violent civil disobedience, the movement successfully slowed deforestation and raised environmental awareness in India.
Ganga action plan
The Ganga Action Plan was launched in 1986 to clean the Ganges River and restore it to its original condition. Phase I aimed to treat 882 million liters per day of wastewater generated in towns along the Ganges but failed to achieve this goal. Phase II expanded the project to include tributaries but still only treated a small portion of the total waste. Despite efforts, pollution levels in the river remain high due to untreated sewage and industrial waste entering the water. Better treatment technology is still needed to properly clean the river without negatively impacting biodiversity or human health.

Chipko movement
The Chipko movement was a non-violent movement started in the 1970s by Indian villagers to protect forests. They resisted the cutting down of trees by hugging the trees to prevent them from being felled. The movement aimed to conserve forests which are crucial for villagers' livelihoods and the environment. It was sparked by the government allocating forest land to a company, angering villagers whose own requests had been denied. Led by activists like Chandi Prasad Bhatt and Sunderlal Bahuguna, the movement saw victories like a 15-year ban on tree felling in Uttar Pradesh in 1980. The Chipko movement continues to protect forests through nonviolent means.

2) Uttarakhand, where hydropower projects and the 2013 Kedarnath floods caused ecological degradation and flooding that damaged infrastructure.
3) Bihar, where increasing population density and disposal of sewage and industrial waste pollute the river.
Government cleaning efforts including the Ganga Action Plan, National River Basin Authority, Save Ganga Movement, and Namami Ganga initiative are outlined. The roles of media in disaster management are also summarized.
POLAVARAM PROJECT
The Polavaram project is a multi-purpose irrigation project on the Godavari River that was granted national project status. It involves building a dam 39.28 meters high to impound the river and create a reservoir with 194 TMC capacity. The key goals are to transfer water from Godavari to the Krishna basin and divert excess flood waters. However, the project will displace over 44,000 families across three districts and submerge farmland and archaeological sites, causing significant controversy. Once completed, it will be one of the largest dams in India and provide major benefits to the water-deficit Rayalaseema region.

The document provides information about water conservation efforts in India. It describes how a water conservation project in the village of Bitkuli in Chhattisgarh transformed the village by increasing water availability. The project involved constructing small ponds to conserve rainwater, deepening an existing dam, and directing rainwater flow towards the dam. This reliable water supply allowed farmers to grow crops in more than one season and reduced migration. The document also mentions that rainwater harvesting has become a popular conservation method in urban areas of collecting rainwater on rooftops and storing it underground for later use. It provides an example of how Cherrapunji, which receives heavy rainfall, experiences shortages due to deforestation and lack of conservation methods

This document provides information about water conservation efforts in India. It discusses how a village in Chhattisgarh called Bitkuli transformed after a water conservation project initiated by a local NGO. The project involved constructing small ponds to conserve rainwater, deepening an existing dam, and building drainage channels to supply fields. This reliable water source allowed farmers to grow crops year-round instead of migrating seasonally. The document also mentions how rainwater harvesting has become a popular conservation method in urban India, such as collecting roof rainwater and storing it underground. However, the city of Cherrapunji in Meghalaya experiences shortages despite heavy rainfall due to deforestation and lack of conservation methods.

This document provides information about Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), a social movement against large dams being built on the Narmada River in India. The movement was started in 1985 when Medha Patkar and others visited the Sardar Sarovar Dam site and noticed the lack of consideration for people affected by the project. Patkar organized protests to demand proper rehabilitation for displaced people. The NBA argued the authorities should address post-construction impacts. There has been criticism that the NBA halted project completion, while supporters say it brought needed attention to rehabilitation. The Supreme Court allowed dam construction to continue subject to rehabilitation conditions. The NBA has brought awareness to environmental and social aspects of dam projects.
