Prior to implementation of the project, Socio-economic feasibility study in term of its impact on livelihoods of the affected community, effect on bundelkhand ecology and expacted negative side by side developments should be studied through the professional, experienced and reputated third party agencies. Nature gives us the assests based on the geo-physiographical situation of the perticular area and such man made interventions may impact adversely on the ecology and livelihood of that area. So that, such studies may help in identifying the intensity of the expected results (+ve/-ve). These data/information should be shared with all the stakeholders alongwith its implications and then a common consenses of the community/civilsocieties should be generated whether the concerned community is in favour or not??. In my opinion, we should do lobbying to create pressure on the govt to undertake such studies and share the informations at various platforms and gether opinions of the community.
Thanks
