NGO: Environment Support Group
Location: Karnataka
Chapter: Austin
Local communities affected by a project have very little information about the process of land acquisition, their rights, the entire process of Environmental decision-making and therefore feel helpless to defend themselves against a proposed project in their locality.
Bhargavi's work will educate, guide and empower people to access legal provisions using which they can protect their land, livelihood and environment from forceful intrusion by industrial and infrastructure projects.
