Case Studies of Rehabilitation and Resettlement in India

 Sardor  Sarovar Dam :

River Narmada flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat and merges in Arabian sea. The Sardar Sarovar Dam is Situated in the Narmada valley. 


Issue 

As a result of construction of the dam, about 573 villages consisting 10 lakh people would be homeless and 45000 hectares of forest and 2,00,000 hectares of cultivated lands would be submerged in Maharastra .

The affected tribal people must be given adequate compensation in the form of land, jobs, cash compensation, etc., and care should taken to improve their quality of their life.

Now the Gujarat government has planned to increase the height of the dam has become a controversial issue as there is no proper rehabilitation scheme for the affected people.

Narmada bachao Andolan ( NBA) was initiated against the construction of the dam is lead by Smt. Maedha Patkar.She is Constantly working for affected outsee tribals.

Narmada Control Authority (NCA) also asked Madhya Pradesh and Maharastra governments to give status of resettlement and rehabilitation of the people displaced by the Narmada dam project. 

Tehri Dam Project :




The dam is being constructed across the rivers Bhagirathi and Bhilanganga, close to the Gashwal town of Tehri. The dam would submerge nearly 100 villages, including Tehri, a historical village, 85,600 families will have to be relocated.

The region of Tehri is vulnerable to earthquakes. The dam is also structurally incapable of withstanding the water, which would kill thousands of people. Due to the above reasons, the people nearer to that area were resettled in some other place.

Pong Dam :

The Pong Dam was constructed on Beas River in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The water is utilized to irrigate Rajasthan. Therefore, Rajasthan agreed to provide land to the oustees in the area of  Indira Gandhi canal. Out of 30,000 families uprooted to Pong Dam, Only 16,000 were considered eligible for allotment, as there were only bonafide cultivators. The rest of the 14000 families are questionable, Punjab, which is one of the beneficiaries of the dam is not involved in rehabilitation issue.

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...

MELTING FURNACES FOR FERROUS METALS : CUPOLA AND ITS WORKING

Various types of melting furnaces are used in different foundry shops, depending upon the quantity of metal to be melted at a time, and the nature of work that is carried out in the shop.  The primary objective in cupola is to produce iron of desired composition, temperature and properties at the required rate in the most economical manner. Besides, this furnace has many distinct advantages over the other types, e.g., simplicity of operation, continuity of production, and increased output coupled with a high degree of efficiency.  Description Of a Cupola : The Cupola Furnace consists of a vertical, cylindrical steel sheet, 6 to 12 mm thick, and lined inside with acid refractory bricks or acid tamping clay. The refractory bricks or the tamping clay used consist of  silicon oxide acid (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3). The lining is generally thicker in the lower where the temperatures encountered are higher than in the upper region. The shell is mounted either on a brick work fo...

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

 Advantages Of  Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of  Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content.
