## Summary

This ground report documents the ongoing tribal protests against the Ken-Betwa river-linking project in Madhya Pradesh, focusing on the soil satyagraha, symbolic pyres, and the demands of displaced families. It contrasts the media attention given to the Jantar Mantar protest in Delhi with the largely ignored struggle of tribals in Chhatarpur and Panna districts, while exploring issues of compensation, gender, and environmental impact.

### Key Points

- **Protest rituals: pyres and soil satyagraha** [00:11] — In Sita's temple, protesters lie on symbolic pyres and apply soil on themselves, demanding justice: 'give us justice otherwise we will go to this soil as we were born in it.'
- **Scale of displacement** [01:47] — Entire villages are being displaced by the Ken-Betwa project: 14 villages in Chhatarpur district and 8 villages in Panna district.
- **Two years of tribal protest** [03:33] — Tribal families have been protesting for two years against the Ken-Betwa project and land acquisition in Chhatarpur, MP, facing issues with compensation and rehabilitation.
- **Movement's demands** [04:37] — Protesters demand three acres of land per family, land-for-land and house-for-house instead of cash compensation, as their livelihoods from forest, river, and farming are lost.
- **Extreme protest methods** [06:37] — Women lie on pyres, farmers and youth hang on crosses, and people fast unto death; they have not gone home since July 3, saying 'Fulfill our demands or kill us.'
- **Displacement grief** [09:16] — A protester says leaving home 'feels as if all your conscience is gone' and asks, 'Where will we go leaving Mother Earth?'
- **Beyond Ken-Betwa** [11:11] — Many displaced from other projects like Majgay Runj Negwa NTPC are also protesting, but the majority are affected by Ken-Betwa (21 villages, 60-70% of people).
- **Project basics** [12:27] — Ken-Betwa is India's first river-linking project under the 1980 National Perspective Plan. PM Narendra Modi laid its foundation stone in December 2024. It will transfer water from Ken to Betwa via Daudhan Dam.
- **Submergence area** [13:13] — According to the Jal Shakti Ministry, about 9,000 hectares will be submerged, including 10 villages. The government says the project will ease Bundelkhand's water crisis.
- **Compensation complaints** [15:19] — Protesters claim compensation is too low, corruption occurred, many haven't received full amounts, and no Gram Sabha consent was taken before land acquisition.
- **Official compensation structure** [21:05] — Three types of compensation are given: land compensation, house evaluation, and a rehabilitation package of ₹12.5 lakh per adult member. All 100% of people chose ₹12.5 lakh over ₹7.5 lakh plus land plot.
- **Women's perspective** [23:38] — Women say compensation went into husbands' accounts and they received no money, leading to the question: 'What is the point of voting if women have no rights?'
- **Environmental concerns** [28:21] — An IIT Bombay study shows river interlinking affects land-atmosphere interaction. The SC CEC 2019 report warned of loss of ~10,500 hectares of wildlife habitat, and 46-60 lakh trees could be cut.
- **Unnoticed courage** [32:55] — Unlike Jantar Mantar protests, cameras didn't reach these tribals. Women keep the movement alive in villages, and their silent, unwavering courage will be remembered.

### Conclusion

Despite being removed from their protest site, the tribal women and families are keeping the movement alive in their villages. The report underscores that while the Ken-Betwa project promises development, the displaced pay the price with land, livelihood, and culture, and their fight for justice remains largely invisible.

Jammu and Kashmir is the same.  We used to live on such islands. Forest, land, river, what a river, a big river, here we have good open water [music] like we used to plant wheat,
Kanak-Vanak, there is mustard, there is wheat, there are gram, there is mother's dal , there is arhar dal.  Everything happens in farming here.  So our house will be submerged due to the dam in the water. Our land will sink.  I am speaking.   Has
your agricultural land been lost in this? Yes, our agricultural land has also been lost.   This is our house.  Makaan and Farming Land Farming Land We are forest dwellers.   The whole forest is gone.  What will we do if we go somewhere ?  We are here that
our trees and plants live in it. If we take them to the city and throw them there, they will If we take them to the city and throw them there, they will die within two days.  Are?  So it would be better to either fulfill our demands.  Give me three acres of land. So we could survive from here at least.
Fulfill our demands or kill us.   This is our only demand that the people who used to live on the banks of the river, from their water, forest, land, Mahua, grazing, tendu leaves, they used to do fish farming, animal husbandry, so in a way
their livelihood is also getting lost, so they say that if our livelihood is getting lost then we should be given three-three acres of land to earn our livelihood and at least if they are being displaced somewhere then they should be given land in exchange of land, house in exchange of house,
but the administration is only giving them money and is not giving anything like this, hence they are and is not giving anything like this, hence they are

save her culture, she wants to give the signal that either give us justice or kill us all together.  Don't kill one by one. Kill me, kill me.   Give justice or kill me, kill me, kill me.

understand that these people are paying the price of development.  Here, not only the Ken Betwa project but there are many other such projects due to which displaced people have come here and are protesting. But the majority of
people here, the majority of agitators, are those who have been land has been lost.  So in such a situation, it is important for us to understand what this project is
important for us to understand what this project is ? is the first river linking project in the country.  This is the first project of the National Perspective Plan prepared in 1980.
National Perspective Plan prepared in 1980. Its foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December 2024.  The aim of this project is to provide aim of this project is to provide
Under this [music] the water of Ken river will be sent to Betwa river.  For this, sent to Betwa river.  For this, Dodhan Dam is being built on Ken River. According to the Jal Shakti Ministry, after the construction of Dodhan Dam, about 9000 hectares of area
[music] will be submerged in water.  Which includes 10 villages.  The government says that this project will bring about a major improvement in the water problem in Bundelkhand [music]. It is true that Bundelkhand has been facing water shortage for a long time.   Let me
This is a very old problem in Bundelkhand. Ever since I can remember, ever since I was born, there has been a huge water problem.  The water level here is something below 350 meters.  Even if boring is done here, water does not come out.   There
drinking water is not available and those who have water, they get it in small quantities.  Ma'am, you know that water is life. Everything runs on water.  So the problem of water here is very serious.  If we look at the nearby villages, the
biggest problem here is water and that too there is only one bore which is very far from the local area.  1/2 km So 1 km.  Something happens.  So those who go to local places go by bike or cycle, ma'am, there are a lot of problems there and
especially during summer time, you will not get water to drink anywhere and for the animals at home, it means there is a lot of trouble ma'am.   Do n't you people have tanks in your homes? No ma'am.  Ma'am there are no tanks. Even if there are tanks, where will madam get water filled in them
I mean, hearing this, it feels like the tap is No ma'am, the level is very low and there is no water supply at all, ma'am, and the water supply is provided by the government, only a pipeline is laid.
Rest, there is no water coming through its pipe, ma'am. So you people live your life only with the water that you keep in abundance, ma'am, we So you people live your life only with the water that you keep in abundance, ma'am, we It will irrigate 10 lakh hectares of land and will also provide drinking water to 44 lakh families.
Well, it is going to our area, Bundelkhand is always a little dry area, so it is a blessing for this place.  If justice is done, give justice, give justice [voice of encouragement] give it to them,
but the people protesting here say that they have no objection to the Ken Betwa project. His objection is to the process under which his land was acquired.  The agitators allege that the compensation they received for their land is
very low.  He also says that there was corruption in the entire process of giving compensation and many people have not been able to get the full amount till date. These agitators claim
that before land acquisition, neither a Gram Sabha was called nor their consent was taken.
not against the rest of the projects except Ken Betwa.  In that project we are only talking about the law that the law should be Compensation has been distributed to them in the form of money.  A package amount of Rs 125 lakh has been given.  The amount given as a package is
according to the family.  For example, Rs 12.5 lakh has been given to the husband and his minor child. If someone is above 18 years of age then he was given Rs 12.5 lakh.  That means if there are
four people in a family then they will be given Rs 12.5 lakh and if any person is 18 years old then 12.5 lakh and if any person is 18 years old then he will also be given Rs 12.5 lakh.  And here, as the law says about rehabilitation, before displacing the people, their houses
[music] have been demolished.  There are many people who did many people who did not receive compensation for their houses without giving any notice.   It has come into the accounts of some people and there are many eligible people who are alive but not even a
single penny has come into their accounts yet. How much compensation have you received?   The compensation is around Rs 2 lakh and the land is being given.  One acre, two acres, three acres of But it is being said that compensation of ₹12.5 lakh has been given.
₹12.5 lakh has been given.  So show me the notice of ₹12.5 lakh. Then you are saying that 12.5 was not given. gave ₹12 lakh then there must be some project for it. Some bill will definitely be passed.  To whom have you given it
?  Who is the person who has been compensated ?
Got Rs 17 lakh for 12 lakh 12.5 bighas.  And today if you go to buy a plot, you get it for Rs 25-40.  It is available for Rs 7-8 lakh.  When the plot is available at this price then tell me where will we be able to buy land?  With which we could make a living.  Boys and children grew up.  Now that has been taken away.
Compensation has been given arbitrarily.  No one has been asked how much compensation they will take or whether they have it. If the land is purchased from you, we will take it as per your wish. If you quote 20 lakhs, we will give you only 20 lakhs.  It is not that we will use bullying or hooliganism and force
you to buy it by paying exorbitant amounts. So this is how corruption has happened in our Madhya Pradesh and it has happened to everyone.  There is no person who is not sad. All of them are helpless and compelled.  They are
lying here helpless.  These snakes are battling and fighting with scorpions. No compensation. ₹1 lakh has been given for 4 acres.  Where did the government spend ₹8 lakh
? Mila means I got Rs 5-5 lakh.  Then what happens in 55 lakhs?  You say that we should buy a house or a building or get our child married or building or get our child married or build a house.  And our situation is very
build a house.  And our situation is very bad.  Now our men drank alcohol. What should we do now?  I feel like giving up my life. What to do?  Now what can be done in 5 lakhs?  There was such a problem.  Now I am afraid of getting into trouble here.   This is the
ward which we got certified documents from. We will give it to you also.  In that, compensation worth Rs 11 crore was distributed among the people.  Out of Rs 11 crore, compensation of Rs 8 crore was
taken away by ineligible people.  Only Rs 3 crore was got around ₹1 lakh ₹00.  Out of which he received ₹0000.  I haven't even received Rs 1 lakh yet.
Where have you given it according to that amount? How did you give it?  It has been given as if they have taken our land, they have taken five bighas and now they are asking us to buy it for 15, 10, 12,
13, so the government is not like this, you build railways and have given our house, as if it is standing in the government, our land was vacant, a house was built, two rooms were built, a lobby was built, a Shivsi tank was built, a water tank was built, a bathroom was built, so did they give 4 lakhs, the
bathroom was built, so did they give 4 lakhs, the cut off date has been fixed as 2018, so we are demanding that the cut off date be 2026, the irrigated lands have been made unirrigated.  Therefore, we unirrigated.  Therefore, we want compensation for all the lands irrigated.
Those who are eligible are still left out.  Their still left out.  Their demand is that we should investigate this matter again.  So it seems that the records that the officials have are also online.  They
also have survey reports from all over the place.  So, after going through them once, it can be seen whether any eligible person has been left out. If this is done then there will be satisfaction on both sides.  The administration will also be satisfied and these agitating people will
also be satisfied.  So their main demand is that whatever fraud has happened in the distribution of compensation and which has not been given to the eligible people, not been given to the eligible people, they should get it accordingly.
given three types of compensation.  First of all, After that, if their house is lost, then the house is also evaluated and
house is also evaluated and compensation is given based on the type of house it is.  And the third is a rehabilitation package which is Rs 12.5 lakh for rehabilitation package which is Rs 12.5 lakh for every adult member of the family.  If there
is a mother and father in a family, then both of them are being given ₹12.5 lakh as one unit as per the affected family.   The rehabilitation package
included a provision of ₹12.5 lakh or ₹7.5 lakh plus a plot of land was a second option.  But 100% people chose the option of Rs 12.5 lakh. So on this basis we have given them compensation.  If
anyone has any complaint related to corruption, then he We will conduct an independent inquiry into this at the district level.  If any
person is found guilty anywhere, we will take the strictest possible action against the accused person.  Yes, all this is told in the Gram Sabhas.  But the Gram Sabha was not held here.   The Gram Sabha has not even been held.  And the village
Gram Sabha has not even been held.  And the village law says the Bhojan Act that unless there is consent of 70% of the villagers or 70 to 80% [music] of the people then people are not displaced from the village.  No
Nothing happened in our village panchayat or village assembly. We were asked that for how much will you give your land or for how much will you sell it or do you want to sell it or do you not want to sell it or do you want to take something in return for it, nothing was asked by anyone, everyone from the
top down is corrupt from the government, for those irrigation projects for which environmental clearance has been taken, it is
environmental clearance has been taken, it is for its environmental clearance was going on for almost 15 years out of the last 20 years.
Environmental clearance was taken for this project.  For this reason, there was I took him, [singing voice] Vishnu was also found, Brahma [music] was
found, Vishnu was also found [singing voice]. Most women were seen in this movement. After talking to him, a different picture emerged.  He said that after the acquisition of the land
in which he worked day and night for years, he did he did not get the compensation for it.  The women claim that some amount of compensation did come into their husbands' accounts, but
they did not receive a single rupee from it. For them, it is not just the pain of losing land but also the pain of losing their rights and identity.
alcoholics, so they were given 12.5 lakhs, they bought a car, had a party, gave all the urine [music], but they are not even taking the land.  Where did you get it from and make it?   There is no one who is wise. Hamari ko bolte [music] hai that women have
no rights.  So what is the point of voting if women have no rights ?   The government is also formed by the people.   The government is also formed by the people.   The government was formed by the people.  Now if we throw out that public, will it be
formed again? We will not vote. Either fulfill our demands or kill us straight away.   If
of his vote, he is an 18 year old son, some people have given it, some people did not, the government has not given anything to the women, some women roam around crying, they have small children of one year and two years, they say brother, my husband spent all the money, he gambled, he
drank alcohol, so the woman can raise her children by farming, now the man is spoiled anyway, so she will take care of the husband, she will do her farming, she will feed the children two times a day, in farming all the women are told that they are not eating food, there is
no such woman who has got anything, all the women are like us, and it is mostly the women who work in the fields, such that if he is given anything, he will come back after working in the village, and so the women
stay in the fields the whole day [Music] [Music] when Rs. lakhs were earned from farming, Rs. 44 lakhs were earned, now this is all [Music] I came to know when the dam started getting built, when I came to know, actually
in our Bhurjan Act, women and men  There is no provision for giving money separately to them and generally our society is a patriarchal society, so traditionally all these things have been there because this is a policy
issue.  If the government ever passes a decision to this effect or there is an order given by the government for this, the woman should be given half of it or whatever is done, then we will follow it.  Right now our policy [of music] didn't include that kind of thing.  In that, the
[of music] didn't include that kind of thing.  In that, the Both husband and wife have rights in it. If compensation is received for a house, it is not
that only the husband has the right to it and he can use that compensation as per his wish. [Music] Suppose someone's husband gets some compensation money and he loses it in gambling spends it on his expenses, then what will that wife do?  In
Pooja is a tribal.  His wife died 2 years ago and he also does not have parents.  A year after her husband's death, she had an 8-month-old son, who also died.  And when her husband was alive when her name was being added to the compensation amount, the
documents [music] were taken in the husband's name.  But after the husband's death, the package was to come into the wife's account. [Music] If she doesn't give the documents then she says give us ₹2 lakh.  Once your work is done, it will be done.  Your package will
arrive.  [MUSIC] So she's an Aboriginal woman.  Her husband is gone So she's an Aboriginal woman.  Her husband is gone and her parents are also orphans. She had a child and that too is gone. So it means a woman surrounded by sorrows.   It should be the
duty of the officials and administration to ensure that he gets compensation as soon as possible.  Whereas the house in which she lived with her husband was also demolished also demolished by the administration.  [Music]
huge environmental impact, not just social. Deforestation on a large scale.  A study by IIT Bombay shows that when we transfer large amounts of water from one river to another,
it will affect the land-atmosphere interaction.  The Supreme Court CEC had said in its 2019 report that
diverted for the Ken Betwa project and this could lead to loss of about 10,500 hectares of wildlife habitat.
Different reports have different data.  On the other hand, different data.  On the other hand, this figure was said to be 17,000 in ITI. How important is this forest for you people? Our livelihood depends on that.
Farming is our only support.  We earn our living from the forest only.  Like mother. Now they will stop it and divide the river into a canal. So where will the river remain?  Now Magwa and Charwa Charouji were available.
Magwa and Charwa Charouji were available. Leaves would fall and we would get sticks and cash, if we did not have to buy them then it would be better to go to the river, we placed such a book and came back home. There is a lot of destruction of the environment in this, there is
a survey done a long time ago in which about 46 lakh trees or more were cut.   According to your survey, there would be between 50 and 60 lakh trees, which is a huge environmental destruction and along with this, Panna Tiger Reserve is also being destroyed
and the rehabilitation of Gharials and Vultures in Panna Tiger Reserve, now all the trees there have been cut, near our village where Bana Bana is situated, at least how many thousand crore trees have been cut, if the government had shown any mercy, if we used to
cut the Nakdi, they would have arrested us, we were brought up like children, we planted trees in the forest, now if you people cut the bushes of children, if the trees are cut like this, then cut the bushes of children, if the trees are cut like this, then people from anywhere will shed
us.   The forest department gives permission to cut trees. It is given on the condition that they will have to do replantation of more trees than the number of trees that will be cut.  So that action is also being continuously taken by the implementing agency.   For the
sake of formalities, we will tell you that we planted trees here, but as per the rules, no villager here has any information that the Forest Department has taken any steps for forest conservation anywhere. Department has taken any steps for forest conservation anywhere.
believe that when a dam is built then yes, irrigation there is better.  People get employment and you should understand that there is also hydrocity. There is benefit of irrigation in agriculture. But first of all we have to address whether there is really so much surplus water in the Ken River
whether there is really so much surplus water in the Ken River rain pattern may change and it will have a huge impact on the forest and biodiversity.   The
second concern is what will be the impact on the Panna Tiger Reserve which is located there. what will be the impact on the Panna Tiger Reserve which is located there. You see, some areas of the Tiger Reserve may get submerged due to the dam. Different types of
animals live there and some are very exclusive too, some tigers, leopards, crocodiles and some fishes, so we have to take that into account as well,
from the environmental point of view and one more thing I would like to say is that after removing the water from the Ken, the water that will go downstream will
This movement was unique in itself. Lying on the pyre, applying mud, these were the pictures which would disturb anyone after seeing them. Just as the
police lathi-charged the people sitting on protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi , just as they , just as they tried to drive them away from there, the same thing happened with these tribals sitting here.   The administration's stick was raised here too and
they were also driven away from their own land. It is a different matter that everyone saw the pictures of Jantaram Mantar but only a few cameras could reach these tribals.  Well, if we talk about his cameras could reach these tribals.  Well, if we talk about his enthusiasm, his enthusiasm is still as high.
Even though they have been removed from that place, these women have not lost.  Today, they are keeping the fire of this movement alive in their own way in their respective villages. But whenever history
remembers these days, these tribals will not be forgotten.  His passion, his way of protest, his silent but unwavering way of protest, his silent but unwavering courage will always be remembered.
