Write a short note on Narmada Bachao Andolan or Save Narmada Movement.

It is a Non-Government Organisation that mobilised tribal people, farmers, environ-mentalists and human rights activists against the Sardar Sarovar Dam being built across the Narmada river in Gujarat. In the beginning, the objects of the Andolan were environmental issues related to trees that would be submerged under the dam water. Now its aims are to enable poor citizens, especially the displaced persons to get full rehabilitation facilities from the government because such projects lead to large scale displacement of local communities. They have to give up their land, Livelihood and their meagre access and control over resources for the Greater good of the nation.
