Preferred term

Save Narmada Movement  

Definition

  • The Save Narmada Movement (Narmada Bachao Andolan) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to simultaneously stopping the destruction of indigenous peoples' land through the construction of superdams and to ensuring that any benefits from the construction of such projects are distributed equitably among the people of the affected region. During its 20-year history, it has moved from being a local movement opposed to a single project to becoming an integral part of the “fourth world,” or indigenous peoples' movement.
