摘要

Growing disillusionment with large development projects the world over, their cost and time over-runs, and people's movements against them due to displacement without adequate rehabilitation especially in India have brought the very paradigm of development under close public scrutiny. As far as rehabilitation is concerned, a critique of the first major irrigation project, namely, the Hirakund Dam commissioned in the 1950s, is not quite encouraging (Babu: 1991). In the nineties, the Prime Minister's intervention has been sought to "kick-start" the Narmada Dam Project (The Statesman: October 29, 1999). During the five development decades, an over-emphasis on financial, engineering and physical aspects of hydel projects to the neglect of human environmental, and socio-cultural aspects in their planning and execution has compounded problems for the project-affected people (oustees) as well as the host communities. In a democratic polity, where the government is supposed to represent people, proper consultation has not taken place between them and the establishment. It appears that project interests have over-ridden people's interests. It is also questionable as to who has 'developed'! Neither systematic social reporting on the affected people's condition has been done nor tracer studies conducted as part of any project design as if people do not matter. Such an approach to development is being questioned increasingly, and the demand is growing that people concerned should be involved in the planning of such projects. Furthermore, various available alternatives are sought to be explored before such projects are planned and undertaken. Issues which have emerged in the process of this public debate relate to state power (Sen: 1995) and its use, process of people' representation (Baviskar: 1995), method(s) of cost-benefit analysis (Singh, Kothari & Amin: 1992; Fernandes & Paranjapye: 1997, Iyer: 1998), voluntary and involuntary nature of displacement, structural underfinancing of projects and exaggerated claims of benefits (Cernia: 1999; Dharmadhikary: 1993), process of project execution and its outcome, people's right to information, contestation of their formal and customary rights, inclusion of social costs, shrinking life span of major irrigation projects, land acquisition and deforestation, quantum and mode of compensation, extent of displacement of the poor and the tribals, differential distribution of benefits to different groups, problems in their rehabilitation compared to those who hold assets, violation of human rights and sustainability of development. The disillusionment with mega-projects is so wide-spread that the World Commission on Dams is currently examining various alternatives and is to submit its report by 2000 A.D. (Iyer : 1998). The question arises: if projects benefit people, why should they protest? Politics of development has added to the people's problems within and between states. Breaching of canals by alienated or militant groups and their protection by security agencies is a new phenomenon which can spell disaster for many. Data on alienation of people, their marginalisation, struggles for survival, sufferings due to multiple displacements, protest movements as their sequel, and corruption (Asian Age: October 29, 1999) in resettlement and rehabilitation programme from across the country are a matter of concern These have perforce brought 'social' on the centre stage of the mega projects; and have made local issues trans-local, national and even international. Development thinking has thus undergone a major change: the project space occupied earlier by the political leadership, bureaucrats, technocrats and financing institutions has indeed become a people's space at least in theory.
