  • Social Movements & Saving Rivers: What Can Be Learned from the Narmada?
    Social movements & saving rivers: What can be learned from the Narmada? Harry Blair ([email protected]) Yale-TERI Workshop on the Yamuna River: A Confluence of Waters, a Crisis of Need 3 January 2011 Like the Yamuna, the Narmada has long been esteemed as one of India’s five most sacred rivers. And like the Yamuna, the Narmada has long been regarded by many as a place of unacceptable degradation of the environment and threat to the local human population. But while the Narmada has been the focus of a decades-long social movement protesting outside intrusions, the Yamuna thus far has not. Are there some worthwhile lessons from the Narmada experience that could inform future activity to redeem the Yamuna? This paper and conference presentation argue that a number of valuable lessons can be distilled from the Narmada saga. The principal theme of these lessons is civil society advocacy. “Civil society” can be defined as organized activity not part of the state, the private sector or the family, in which people act to promote mutual interests. “Advocacy” in turn can be defined as the process through which individuals or organizations endeavor to influence public policy making and implementation. Thus “civil society advocacy” would mean efforts on the part of civil society organizations (CSOs) to influence state behavior. Since the late 1940s, a series of plans has aimed to harness the Narmada River through dams to provide hydropower and irrigation. The centerpiece of the whole enterprise has been the last dam before the river empties into the Arabian Sea, the huge structure at Sardar Sarovar.

A multi-purpose project with irrigation, power and drinking water benefits, it is meant to benefit Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat. It would become a symbol of the country’s growing prowess and boost growth in the region. 2) Background The Sardar Sarovar project was a vision of the first deputy prime minister of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The foundation stone of the project was laid out by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on April 5, 1961 The project took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity. In 1996, the Supreme Court stayed the project, further delaying the work on the dam. After the Supreme Court gave an order in October 2000 in favour of construction of the dam, the work resumed. 3) Benefits It will provide drinking water to 4 crore people and help irrigate 2.2 million hectares of land. The irrigation benefits will help in doubling the farmers income by 2022. The Narmada canal will also irrigate lands in the desert districts of Barmer and Jalore of Rajasthan.

  • Environmental Movements by Women
    ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENTS BY WOMEN Dr. Badiger Suresh & B. Kattimani Dept. of Women Studies Gulbara University Gulbarga Especially interesting is the leading role women played in the nation‟s early environmental movement. This movement began at least a century and a half ago, peaked in the Progressive era of the 1890s, and then declined during the war years in the early- to mid-20th century. Environmental movements of various countries have emerged due to different reasons. It is basically due to prevailing environmental quality of the locality. The environmental movements in the north are basically on the issue of quality of life. Whereas the environment movements in the south arise due to some other reasons, such as due to conflicts for controling of natural resources and many more. It is being said that the, environmental movements in India The participants of these movements in North are the middle class and upper class women, who have concern for the nature. But protesters are generally the marginal population – hill peasants, tribal communities, fishermen and other underprivileged people. The different environmental movements in our own country support this argument. The examples could be taken as Chipko, N.B.A Movements. Mitti Bachao Movements Andolan, Koel-Karo Movements(Andolan) and Green Belt Movements ( Andolana) Narmada Bachao Movements Andolan etc. That is why the environmentalism of the is refereed as “full stomach” environmentalism and the environmentalism of the south is called as “empty – belly” environmentalism. Chipko movement (Andolan) One of the first environmentalist movement which was inspired by women was the Chipko movement (Women tree-huggers in India).

  • Narmada Dam: Public Finance, Public Play
    www.livemint.com 2017-9-21 Narmada dam: Public finance, public play Optics is as air for politicians. It is no different for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and what is commonly known as the Narmada Dam. But even air can sometimes get dense with rhetoric. On 17 September, Modi inaugurated the Sardar Sarovar Dam, the largest project of the Narmada, or Sardar Sarovar Project, near Gujarat’s border with Maharashtra. It was Modi’s birthday. It also provided a perfect gift to Gujarat ahead of elections to its assembly that must be conducted before its term ends next January. “We faced every opposition for this project,” an article in Mint quoted Modi as saying at a public meeting after the event. “The World Bank decided not to fund Sardar Sarovar Dam Project after some activists propagated that the project flouted some environmental rules. World Bank or no World Bank, the people of this country had faith in us and it is due to their determination that this project has been completed.” It is correct that activists complained to the bank about matters of shabby resettlement and rehabilitation practices and environmental degradation. Indeed, activists are still complaining. But the fact is that the World Bank conducted its own survey before it stopped payment of the remainder of its commitment for the $300 million that, with other lenders, it had allocated for the Sardar Sarovar Dam. In the 1995 report, Learning from Narmada, it highlighted the project’s stated design to irrigate nearly 2 million hectares of arid land, and the “promise” of drinking water for 30 million people in drought-prone areas, besides electricity for agriculture, urban areas and industry.

    Yindabad 2007 • Running time 58 minutes • Directed by Roi Guitián and Mariano Agudo • Distributed by Documentary Educational Resources The Narmada Valley Development Project was created during the late 1960s to construct 30 large-scale dams, 135 medium-sized dams, and more than 3,000 small-sized dams in the Narmada River. More than 2.5 million people have been displaced by the flooding of forests, cultivatable land, and villages. The affected people, the local Adivasi, have struggled against this project for more than 30 years, fighting for fair compensation and the relocation of their homes. Adivasi women have emerged as leaders and main characters in this unequal fight. Yindabad shows this struggle from their viewpoint. 1 WHY I SELECTED THIS FILM Yindabad is a poignant chronicle of the dynamic struggles of the displaced indigenous peoples living by the Narmada River in India. This unique film presents compelling facts and lived experiences of people displaced by large development projects. Furthermore, it provides opportunities for debates on gender and displacement and impoverishment in the light of globalization and market forces. Most of all, the film is a potential teaching tool for developing a lens on alternative and emerging people’s movements and scholarship on environmental and social justice. A NOTE ON THE TITLE This documentary, filmed in India, was produced by a Rajashree Ghosh Spanish crew. Yindabad is a Spanish rendering of Resident scholar, Jindabad or Zindabad, which is a shout of Women’s Studies encouragement in Urdu,
