Rehabilitating oustees in the Narmada basin, India
The plan for 3155 water projects is absolutely necessary for the socioeconomic development of the neglected Narmada basin. However, neither the 45-year development target nor its cost (Rs 200 billion) is realistic. The environmental cost associated with the rehabilitation of 1.31 million oustees within the valley should be fully internalized in the development plan. In this article, submergence effects are estimated by extrapolation, and a socioeconomic and cultural profile of the oustees is presented. The feasibility of four possible resettlement alternatives is examined, keeping in view the objectives of rehabilitation and the performance of completed and ongoing projects. Guidelines are suggested for the preparation of a rehabilitation plan.
