 orld? \n\nAs part of this exhibition\, Nandini Oza\, former activist of t
 he Narmada Bachao Andolan and an oral historian\, will conduct a session e
 xploring how the mega dam–based development model has irrevocably impact
 ed the ecology of the river valley\, as well as the culture\, traditions\,
  languages\, and everyday lives of people living along the banks of this m
