People Vs Corporations
A Case study of a Tourism Project
2 March 2012
The case study ‘ People versus Corporations’ by the organisations Him Niti Abhiyan, Jan Jagran Evam Vikas Samiti (JJVM) and EQUATIONS is on a peoples campaign against a tourism project. ABF International came to India in 2005 to invest $300 million in a Ski Village to be built in Himachal Pradesh. The proposed project would have granted irrevocable rights to use water, power and land by the company and had been approved without due public consultation. Several local NGOs along with EQUATIONS conducted a fact finding mission in 2008 which documented serious flaws and risks of the project. Due to this report that revealed the discontent of local communities towards the project and the lack of an environmental impact assessment the Government of Himachal Pradesh decided to cancel the project.
