In 2007 AID SD also reviewed approval of AID Relief & Rehabilitation Funds for the Jansahyog Project. The Jansahyog project involves providing relief supplies to adivasis and farmers of the Narmada valley who are displaced without rehabilitation by the backwaters of the dam on the Narmada river.

Nearly 50,000 families from 33 villages in Maharashtra, 193 villages in Madhya Pradesh and 19 villages of Gujarat are being displaced by the controversial Sardar Sarovar dam on Narmada. The height of the dam has steadily gone up over the years as has the number of people waiting for rehabilitation. Many thousands of families have been waiting many years for the rehabilitation schemes promised by the government. Many adivasi families whose agricultural lands have been submerged, are facing starvation. Many children are malnourished. Their schools have gone under water.  Every year the monsoons cause the river levels to rise and submerge more villages causing more displacement and hardships The Jansahyog project aims to provide immediate relief to these affected families.

The relief provided to the affected people consists of food grains, fishing nets, emergency medical support and tarpaulin sheets for shelter as needed. The distribution of the supplies is done through the NGO Bombay Sarodaya Friendship Centre (BSFC). The support is only meant for the worst affected families who have lost their agricultural lands and are in an extremely difficult situation in trying to fend for themselves and their families.  It is hoped that the support will enable them to survive and continue their efforts to get the alternate lands and homes promised by the Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal Award and the Supreme Court.

AID has been supporting the Jansahyog effort for the past few years. For the year 2007, 500 families were selected to receive this aid, out of which 47 families were on the brink of starvation. AID approved funding for Rs. 35 Lakhs towards this effort.
