Singur movement

The Singur movement was a protests in West Bengal, India, against the government's plan to acquire land for a Tata Motors car factory. Local farmers and residents opposed losing their land and livelihoods to industrialization. The movement gained widespread support, highlighting concerns about displacement and inadequate compensation. Ultimately, due to strong resistance and legal challenges, Tata Motors withdrew from the project in 2016, making it a significant example of farmer activism and land rights issues in India. The movement underscored the importance of balancing development with social and environmental considerations.
