What is ‘Narmada Bachao Andolan’?

Narmada Bachao Andolan’ was a movement against raising the height of Sardar Sarovar Dam on the river Narmada. This movement was led because construction of large dams led to many social, economic and environmental problems like displacement of people without proper compensation or less benefits to poor people from these dams than what was promised as well as deforestation.
