| Abstract: |
Dam-induced displacement disrupts the social, economic, and cultural foundations of affected communities, with the elderly emerging as one of the most vulnerable groups in this process. This study, titled “Resettlement Realities: Elderly Survival Strategies After Dam Displacement,” examines how older adults navigate the challenges of relocation, loss of traditional livelihoods, and weakened social networks. The research explores the multidimensional impacts of displacement on the aged—ranging from physical and psychological stress to economic insecurity and cultural disorientation. It highlights how the breakdown of community support systems, unfamiliar resettlement environments, and inadequate rehabilitation measures intensify their vulnerabilities. The paper also highlights how inadequate resettlement policies, limited compensation, and weak institutional support further marginalize aged populations.
Despite these adversities, the elderly adopt a range of survival strategies such as reliance on family support, rebuilding social ties in resettled colonies, engaging in small-scale economic activities, drawing on traditional knowledge, and participating in community-based groups. The study further evaluates the role of government rehabilitation packages, local institutions, and civil society organisations in shaping their post-displacement experiences. By focusing on the lived realities of the aged, the abstract underscores the need for age-sensitive resettlement policies that ensure dignity, security, and social inclusion for elderly populations affected by dam projects.
