Displacement is forcible removal of population for developmental projects. Which example from the following list does not indicate displacement ?

  • A.Highway construction rehabilitation
  • B.Migration to new township
  • C.Rehabilitation due to wildlife sanctuary
  • D.Rehabilitation due to dam

Answer: B

The example that does not indicate displacement is migration to new township.

Displacement, as the stem defines it, is the forcible removal of people to make way for a development project. Rehabilitation after land is taken for a highway, a wildlife sanctuary or a dam is the classic case: the people move because the state acquires their land.

Migration to a new township is a movement people make by choice, usually in search of work or better amenities. With no forcible removal and no project behind it, it is migration, not displacement.
