Three farmers protesting submergence of villages due to a multi-purpose project would most likely belong to which movement, given NCERT's coverage of dam opposition?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.
1. NCERT Ch 3 discusses anti-dam movements as part of the critique of multi-purpose projects.
2. Narmada Bachao Andolan opposed large dams (Sardar Sarovar) on the Narmada and the displacement of tribal villagers.
3. Chipko was against deforestation; Silent Valley was a hydroelectric project in Kerala; Tehri Dam protests were on the Bhagirathi but the most prominently cited dam-displacement movement in the NCERT chapter is Narmada Bachao Andolan.
