FRIENDS OF THE RIVER NARMADA: The Struggle Continues ...
Description
Who are we?
First, we want to make it clear that we are NOT the Narmada Bachao Andolan. The struggle against the construction of mega-dams on the River Narmada in India is symbolic of a global struggle for social and environmental justice. The Friends of River Narmada is an international coalition of individuals and organizations (primarily of Indian descent). In particular, we are a support and solidarity network for the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Save the Narmada movement) which has been fighting for the democratic rights of the citizens of the Narmada Valley. The Friends of River Narmada is entirely volunteer-based. The Friends of River Narmada holds :
that the Narmada Valley Development Project (NVDP) has been conceived without adequate participation from the people who are going to be affected;
that many dams of the NVDP are not viable solutions to many of the problems (power, drinking water, flood control, irrigation) they set out to solve, and that there needs to be a greater emphasis on the search for alternative solutions from all concerned (Government, NGOs, people);
