Narmada Bachao Andolan is Non-Govrnmental Organisation (NGO).
It has mobilized tribal people, farmers, environmentalists and human rights activists against the Sardar Sarovar Dam which was built across the Narmada river in Gujarat.
Narmada Bachao Andolan originally focused on the environmental issues related to trees that would be submerged under the dam water.
Now it has re-focused the aim to enable the poor citizens, especially the oustees (displace people) to get full rehabilitation facilities from the government.
People felt that their suffering would not be in vain.
They accepted the trauma of displacement believing in the promise of irrigated field and (plentiful) harvests.
