Demands of the displaced/affected people of sjvn

This organization SJVNL came into existence in 1989. Earlier it was known by the name N.J.P.C as per the first project undertken by it. The Dame of this project is at Nathpa  and power house where the 1500 MW electricity is produced is at Jhakri, therefore it was named after these stations, Nathpa Jhakri Power corporation ltd. When the project got N.O.C at VIP old rest house in the year 1992 agreement was made between the Panchayat representatives (project affected family) and Board of Directors (BOD) of SJVN

The status of the people before 1989

The main occupation of inhabitants of jhakri was agriculture and horticulture. This village was known for the bowl of cereal producer, all kinds of crops were grown here like Urad, Rongi,Wheat,Vegetables etc. Fields of Jhakri were full of wavering crop in both seasons. Even today when the people of jhakri recall the days of swaying crop; feel emotional, they feel total loss. They could not deny government for issuing N.O.C. due to lack of awareness. It was first project of hilly area of Himachal Pradesh and the biggest project of Aisa

The compensation affected or displaced people received were not sufficient and not got true value for their non-consumable asset . No one was aware about the actual cost of the fertile land. No permanent source of income was left with them. It is noteworthy that some businessmen from all over India came here just before the commencement of the project. They just hired shops from the poor villager for the business purpose. They got full benefit,they got plot, disturb allowance for their source of living, what for those inhabitant who were making living by agriculture and lost everything they had. It is really ironical

The status of the S.J.V.N.L after commission:

S.J.V.N. the largest underground project in Asia with God Chambu Devta ‘s Grace, it has been developing two fold. Local people feel privilege and further pray for its long lasting. S.J.V.N. has commissioned R.H.E.P. in the current year in March,2014.Most of the work of this project is at jhakri like Four diversion tunnels. All Panchayats of Satluj basin were considered affected Panchayats inspite of 25 km far from the main tunnel but again it is ironical; Panchayat which falls within 500 meter, is not considered as a affected Panchayat . S.J.V.N. is earning lot of money, giving great hue and cry through commercial advertisement. S.J.V.N. is spending more than crore of rupees for its annual celebrations like foundation day, Lavi Fair ,Republic day etc. ironically nothing to those people whose land is used for this income

Revolutionary feeling of local people:

There is no objection in calling S.J.V.N. Corporation an “East India Company”. East India Company also came in India as a business company later did the fortification and at last became the ruler. Fortification is still on the local people affected and displaced people have now adopted the path of revolution. They are determined that no colonialism will prosper at Jhakri, they will uproot the practice of exploitation

Future Plans of affected people of project

The people of the project affected had made anticipated plan to get their rights. No obstacle can stand on the way few people have even given written confession for immolation. Few of them are ready to die, or are ready to sit in hunger strike. Affected people are in view that why to drag life without getting rights which were made in the agreement all people are adamant no authority can change their decision from getting their demands fulfilled
