Correct Answer: Medha Patkar


Solution : The correct option is Medha Patkar.

The Narmada Bachao Andolan is primarily driven by Medha Patkar. She is an Indian social activist well known for her efforts in the areas of social justice and the environment. It is a social movement that was formed in the 1980s to oppose the building of huge dams on the Narmada River in central India, which would force many local tribes to relocate. Medha Patkar has fought for alternate, more sustainable types of development in the area as well as the rights of the impacted population.
