Re settlement & Rehabilitation - Case study

The Tehri Project

The Tehri Dam in the outer Himalayas in Uttar Pradesh, when completed, will submerge Tehri town and nearly 100 villages. Ever since the dam was sanctioned in 1972, local people have been opposing the dam and resisting its construction. Scientists, environmentalists and other groups have also opposed this dam.

Little has been done to ensure the proper rehabilitation and compensation for nearly a lakh of people who will be uprooted from their homes as a result of this dam, as no alternative land is available. There is also emotional and psychological trauma caused by forcibly removing people from their homeland where their families have lived for centuries.

Resettlement requires alternate land. However, in our overpopulated country, there is no arable high quality land easily available. Thus, most project-affected persons are usually given unusable wasteland. Rehabilitation involves more than just giving land. In most cases, even this basic aspect is not adequately done. The greatest battle to save their own precious land has been carried out by the tribal people of the Narmada River. They have fought to save their lands for decades. The Narmada Bachao Andolan movement has shown how bitter people can get over this issue.
