Synopsis
The case studies of five large dams constructed in India presented in this volume examine in detail the policies that governed the rehabilitation of those people displaced during the process. Those affected were left to fend for themselves, gained no advantages from the project that had disrupted their lives, and often ended up as migrant labourers. The contributors stress the need for well-planned rehabilitation policies for such groups, with adequate provision for cultural diversities and ensuring them a share in the benefits from the project.
