Aaj desh me Narmada samsya apne Rajat jayanti warsh ko bhi na paar kar rahi hoti
agar desh ke Pradhaanmantriyun ke zehen me ise poornataya suljhane ki baat rahi hoti
Ek taraf Naksalwaad,brashtachaar,aatankwaad se lagataar Bharat jhoojh raha hai
Doosri taraf purane muddon ka kaam sarkaari file me ghoomna hi rah gaya hai
lekin purane muddon ko hal karne ke lie koi pehel sarkaar nahi dikhati
vipakchha bhi in muddon se raajneetik laabh lene ke lie ye mudden uthati
aam aadmi apni hi samayaon se ghira hai vo kya kare
agar kahe to samaaj ki drashti me aur bura bane
nirdhan,ghareeb logon ke lie awaaz uthane wala khud hi uphaas ka kendra ban jata
ya phir use hi doshi samajhke ya uska swaarth samajhke rajneetikaran kia jata
aaj chori,dekaiti,hatya,loot,smuggling aur kale dhandhon ka graph uthta ja raha hai
kyunki apraadhi policia tantra ke saath adhikaari,netaon ki jeben garm kar raha hai
aaj Aamir Khan jaisa vyakti bhi Narmada samasya par bole to use ghalat karaar dia jata
jabki vo to real actor ke saath mahan insaan hai ki acha kaam karke bhi award lene nahi hai jata
lekin aise logon ki bhi ninda ki jati hai,pictures ke posters jalaye jate hain
samasya par uski pehel dekhne ke bajaay uske khilaaf hi aandolan chalaye jate hain
Narmada samsya hamare desh ki bahut badi samasyaonme se ek hai
is samasya e samadhaan se mit saktin samasyaaen anek hain
aaj hazaron laakhon aadmi is baandh ke banne se labhaanvit honge
yadi sarkaar paryaapt dekhbhaal kare to aadivasi,kisaan bhi beghar nahi honge
yadi vipakchha aur pakchha sachhe dil se is mudde ka samadhaan kare ti nishchit hoga
aaj jaise hume pani mil raha hai baki logon ki pani ki samasya ka bhi samadhaan hoga
itni si baat ko samajhke bhi shashantantra anjaan hai
raajneetik fayda nahi de pane ki vajah se mudda bejaan hai
lekin aise karte hue 25 saal ho gaye ab sarkaar ko chetna hoga
aur muddon par dhyaan dene ke saath iska nirakaran karna hoga
bahut zaruri hai rajneeti,parasparik fayde aur nimn soch ke daayre se upar uthkar ise samjh jaye
Narmada aandlan se jude sabhi logon ki bhawna ka aadar aur aise sabhi logon ka samaan kia jaye
iska sabse behtar sammaan is mudde ka samadhaan karke hi hoga
samaaj ke ek raay ek mat hone se hi Narmada mudde ka samadhaan hoga
The Narmada Valley Development Project is the single largest river development scheme in India.? It is one of the largest hydroelectric projects in the world and will displace approximately 1.5 million people from their land in three states (Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh).? The environmental costs of such a project, which involves the construction of more than 3,000 large and small dams, are immense.? The project will devastate human lives and biodiversity by inundating thousands of acres of forests and agricultural land.? ?The State? (India) wants to build these dams on the Narmada River in the name of National Development.? But ?How can you measure progress if you don?t know what it costs and who has paid for it?? (Roy 16).?
Each monsoon season thousands of people are told by the Indian government that they will have to be relocated as their ancestral lands are flooded out.? ?The people whose lives were going to be devastated were neither informed nor consulted nor heard? (Roy 26).? A disproportionate number of those being displaced are tribal people: Adivasis and Dalits.
Damming the Narmada River will degrade the fertile agricultural soils due to continuous irrigation (rather the seasonal irrigation which is dependent on the monsoon), and salinization, making the soil toxic to many plant species.? The largest of the dams under construction is the Sardar Sarovar, which, if completed, will flood more than 37,000 hectares of forest and agricultural land, displacing more than half a million people and destroying some of India?s most fertile land.
The thing about multipurpose dams like the Sardar Sarovar is that their ?purposes? (irrigation, power production, and flood control) conflict with one another.? Irrigation uses up the water you need to produce power.? Flood control requires you to keep the reservoir empty during the monsoon months to deal with an anticipated surfeit of water.? And if there?s no surfeit, you?re left with an empty dam.? And this defeats the purpose of irrigation, which is to store the monsoon water (Roy 34).
In the end, the Big Dam will produce only 3% of the power planners say it will ? that?s only 50 megawatts!? Additionally, when you take into account the power needed to pump water through the network of canals inevitably attached to the dam, the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) will consume more electricity than it produces!? Another problem with the SSP is that its reservoir displaces people in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, but its benefits go to Gujarat (Roy 34-35).? Even though the arid regions of that state, Kutch and Saurashtra, are not mentioned in the water-sharing award as recipients of drinking water.
The proposed dams will affect millions of people but only a certain percentage of them will be privy to the government?s resettlement and rehabilitation (R & R) programs.? The problem here arises in defining who are Project-Affected Persons (PAPs).? The World Commission on Dams urges that the ?impact assessment includes all people in the reservoir, upstream, downstream and in catchment areas whose properties, livelihoods and nonmaterial resources are affected.? It also includes those affected by dam-related infrastructure such as canals, transmission lines and resettlement developments? (
www.irn.org/wcd/narmada.shtml).? In reality, however, people affected by the extensive canal system are not considered as PAPs.? These people are subject to R & R packages, but not the same ones as those living in the reservoir area.? Unbelievably, those not entitled to any compensation at all are the hundreds of thousands whose lands or livelihoods are affected by either project-related developments or downstream impacts.
