it that follow :

Sardar Sarovar Project is a multipurpose mega-scale dam. Its

advocates say that it would benefit huge areas of Gujarat and the three

adjoining states in terms of availability of drinking water and water for

irrigation, generation of electricity and increase in agricultural

production. Many more subsidiary benefits like effective flood and

drought control in the region were linked to the success of this dam. In

the process of construction of the dam 245 villages from these states were

expected to get submerged. It required relocation of around two and a

half lakh people from these villages. Issues of relocation and proper

rehabilitation of the project-affected people were first raised by local

activist groups.

(i) What form of agitation did the protests against the dam take ?

(ii) Why have benefits like flood and drought control been called as

subsidiary benefits ?

construction of the dams justified ?
