The Construction of Hydro-electric and Irrigation projects are very important for the economic development of India. But for the construction of projects, the land has to be acquired due to which people suffer with the problem of displacement. Due to displacement people have to leave the place where they were living for generations due to which the social structure and social organization get disintegrated.
People affected by displacement are dependent on agriculture, when the displaced people lose their agricultural land, their means of livelihood vanished and the displaced people have to face difficulties in a new place. Due to displacement the food insecurity of the displaced people increases. At first, they got food stuff from the agriculture, but after displacement in a new place they have to buy food stuff from the market.
The problem of human rights violations of displaced people has emerged due to displacement. It is a violation of human rights by displacing someone from his place of residence and not providing proper compensation for their property. Displacement also violates the social and economic rights of displaced persons. Due to displacement, social and mental stress (https://oclaserdental.com/managing-dental-anxiety/) is generated in people, which affects their health. Displacement changes the social, economic and cultural life of the people.
