About this person
In 1990, Alok joined the Narmada Bachao Andolan, and for the last three decades, has been a key activist in building up this social movement and struggle of tribals, farmers, environmentalists, and human rights workers against the construction of big dams being built across the Narmada river in Central India and for securing the rights and improved rehabilitation for the millions of farmers and tribals displaced by these dams. He had a brief stint in politics as Aam Aadmi Party's State Head for Madhya Pradesh. He left politics in 2019. At present, he lives in a small tribal village Temacha in Khandwa district, Madhya Pradesh, where he practices organic farming and helps families being displaced by various dams.
