Do you know about Rehabilitation of people displaced from Sardar Sarovar Dam Project (SSDP)?

Question

I have a project on Dams and this is one of the sub heading.... please help.....

Answer 1

Apparently there is no rehabilitation.

The present packages offered to people are unjust and inadequate to ensure that resettlement will lead to attainment of original standards of living.

*******scroll down to and read *******
In summary, the principal findings of this report are:
Twenty-six years after project construction began; there is still no R&R Master Plan.

There is no information about the Rehabilitation Monitoring Committee and
its grievance redressal function among the people, giving rise to doubts about whether it has been constituted. The people have neither been consulted by such a Committee, nor have they been able to put across their grievances.

There is no decision making process that would have enforceable linkages with the construction of the dam and consequent submergence and displacement. Legally enforceable norms on R&R are conspicuous by their absence.
Although the dam is to be completed by 2002, or, even if as the Administrative Officer said that it would take at least till 2005, a large majority of the people has not been allotted their lands and where they have, rehabilitation is far from satisfactory. Begun in 1976, it seems surprising, and alarming, that a quarter of a century later, the rehabilitation process is nowhere near satisfactory completion.
Worse off now than before:
The people displaced by the Tehri project seem to have a bleak future --worse off than they were before the project; pauperized in the name of development.

The second report was published by 'Peoples' Union for Civil Liberties', which highlighted rampant corruption and other irregularities prevailing in Tehri Dam Project.
A year after the second report still nothing resolved.
Corruption seems to big the major cause of NO Rehabilitation.
