Abstract

This paper examines the issues raised by Baba Amte (India Express July 9, 1989) on Narmada Project. His contention is that Narmada project requires a complete reconsideration because its costs in terms of human suffering, ecological damage and financial burden are just too high for Gujarat. The paper indicates that the project benefits very large backward area of North Gujarat, Saurashtra, Kutch and Rajasthan. The assessment of benefits and costs, rehabilitation plans and resource mobilization aspects indicates that the project is conceived on sound line. Much depends, however, on the process of implementation. Some of the apprehensions expressed by Baba Amte may still come true if the implementation process is not handled speedily and in the spirit of rehabilitating the oustees in addition to those who stand to gain directly from the project.
